MoreHETRICK: A health insurance beneficiary pleads for reform
August 10, 2009
Bruce HetrickAs a hearing-impaired, migraine-suffering, diabetic cancer survivor who's also the father of a cancer survivor and the widower

MoreHETRICK: Visiting Alaska, and sticking final pin in the map
July 27, 2009
Bruce HetrickIn my parent's basement hangs a map of the United States stuck with multicolored push pins showing where they've lived
and visited. Until a few weeks ago, there were pins in every state but one.
MoreHETRICK: It's hip to be simple, so let's take advantage
July 13, 2009
Bruce HetrickA gentleman from Fort Wayne died last month. The cancer caught up to him just a few days before his 80th birthday. Like many
of us native Hoosiers, this fellow was born of working folks. His dad was a traveling hardware salesman,
his mom a homemaker.

May 25, 2009
Bruce HetrickThe problem is, we don't get to choose our exits—the natural ones, at least—and we don't get to choose the timing.
Whole-hog health scare: A deadly double standard
May 11, 2009
Bruce HetrickBecause secondhand smoke is a longer-term health threat—rather than something quick like the flu or food poisoning—too
much of society, including the media, overlooks its danger with nary a second glance.
MoreRedefining community in virtual and political reality
April 27, 2009
Bruce HetrickLast week, I made a presentation about social media to several hundred people at a Carmel Chamber of Commerce luncheon. We
talked about Facebook and Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, LinkedIn, blogging and more. I didn't answer the "how-to"
question. I answered the "whether-to" question. With some important cautions, my answer was "yes."
MoreHopeful news about the nukes aimed at your head
April 13, 2009
Bruce HetrickBecause President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev have now dared to raise that tired and trivial matter
of nuclear disarmament, you must focus on mundane matters of mass destruction.
MoreAll of us Belongers, building castles in the sand
February 23, 2009
Bruce HetrickOn vacation in the British West Indies, we see the decline from just a year ago at this same beautiful spotâ??fewer families
at play, fewer retirees strolling arm and arm, fewer young couples slathering one another with sunscreen.
MoreWorkplace smoking policies move backward
February 9, 2009
Bruce HetrickThe bill in question seems like a long shot. It would abdicate government's responsibility for protecting citizens' health
and safety, and place it in the hands of individual business owners.
MoreThumbing a ride on America's 'Revolutionary Road'
January 26, 2009
Bruce HetrickOn my bookshelf, there's an old copy of Richard Yates' "Revolutionary Road." The cover illustration shows a pristine
countryside

MoreOn inauguration eve, the bar is set at a record low
January 12, 2009
Bruce HetrickA chaotic cancer cell symbolizes perfectly the nation and world Barack Obama will inherit Jan. 20: American automakers on
the brink of collapse. Their vaunted Japanese competitors curtailing production. Factory orders suffering the biggest setback
in eight years. Skyrocketing unemployment.
MoreSomething to think about as a new year dawns
December 22, 2008
Bruce HetrickI think about the economic crisis, the housing crisis, the climate crisis, the energy crisis, the automotive crisis, the Middle
East crisis, the education crisis, the college affordability crisis and all the other crises — real, imagined and manufactured
— and I wonder whether they'll drive us to the precipice, or even the apocalypse, and whether we'll change at the last
minute, and, should we survive, whether we'll remember what we want to forget or forget what we want to remember.
MoreBe open to change, as difficult as it may be
November 24, 2008
Bruce HetrickThe movie, "The Visitor," is a good reminder to be open to change because it can instill hope for the future.
MoreChange begins with everyone, not just Obama
November 10, 2008
Bruce HetrickSen. Barack Obama's election and call for change and hope, as well as Ind. Gov. Mitch Daniels' re-election after
dramatic changes, shows that Americans can become successful again.

See, I told u Indyman and Dipsicle....this 8 days is overkill. It's barely worth a weekend....great job Tony George! Your dream has been fulfilled....he fans want the I r l back. Thats how good it was.....and that sucked.
I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.
Pimlico
While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!
You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.
