The Meal Behind the Mask
| Watch This Segment Online. | | Description: | There were over 500 attendees at the fundraising dinner to raise money to maintain the Hibernia Community Center. Thank goodness. For, over the last 5 years, attendance had dwindled to a mere trickle -- all because the event had no identity because it had lost its signature dish. But drastic times call for drastic measures and 86 year-old LaVeran Lorenz was coaxed out of retirement to, once again, provide the secret recipe for this special meal. And that's why the Great Raccoon Supper of 2007 was a rousing success. | | Credits: | Scott "The Hungry Hoosier" Hutcheson | | Location: | Hibernia | | Contact: | Not Available |
Through One Woman's Eyes
| Watch This Segment Online. | | Description: | Eva Sharron Kobee grew up and played many parts in a bustling French Lick that mixed grandeur with a thriving homespun community. But it didn’t last and, when the town faded, Eva’s life in Indiana faded along with it. But now, French Lick has returned to much of its former glory and guess who’s back in town? But this time, Eva's bringing her memories to life as one of the town’s official historians. | | Credits: | Vicki Gardner | | Location: | French Lick | | Contact: | www.frenchlick.com, (812) 936-9300 |
Fragile Finesse
| Watch This Segment Online. | | Description: | Do you pysanky? You probably did when you were little, but just didn't know it. That's because psyanky is a way of painting ornate designs on Easter eggs -- and it's a technique very similar to how children today still color eggshells. Only in the hands of a master like Indianapolis' Laura Black, you get some wonderfully intricate Ukrainian designs. | | Credits: | Brian C.

History Matters: The Riot That Never Was
| Watch This Segment Online. | | Description: | Do you remember the epic sinking of the ocean liner “Olympic?” Of course not. That’s because it was her sister ship, “Titanic,” that struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage. How about Benteen’s last stand? Probably not that one, either, because it was George Armstrong Custer’s troop that fell at the Battle of the Little Big Horn while Colonel Frederick Benteen’s survived. So for this trip’s “History Matters,” we’re going to do something that's never been done before.
We’re going to tell you the story behind the story of an event that never happened: the violent Hoosier rail strike of 1877. | | Credits: | Kyle Travers | | Contact: | Not Available |
All Aboard the Money Bus
| Watch This Segment Online. | | Description: | For you parents out there who keep putting off telling your kids about the facts of life: while you’re thinking of ways to approach the birds and the bees, you might also think about telling your children about the Washington and the Lincolns. That’s because even many of us adults out there aren’t very savvy when it comes to the great mystery of how to handle money. But now there’s a new vehicle to teach young people about money, and as kids from Avon's Kingsway Christian School have discovered, time aboard is time well-spent. | | Credits: | Jim Simmons | | Location: | Avon | | Contact: | www.networksfinancialinstitute.org |
Another British Invasion
| Watch This Segment Online. | | Description: | Finally, its always great to see ourselves as outsiders see us. Boy Scout Troop 301 from Danville hosted the 1st East Grinstead “Scouts UK” Troop from West Sussex, England, part of an exchange program between the two organizations that's happened every two years for the past ten. The most amusing thing, though, was that -- after a week camping near Lake Monroe, jaunting up to Chicago, and having fun at some of Indy's technological extremes (the bucolic serenity of Conner Prairie and the 220 mph frenetic pace of the Speedway) -- when asked to comment about Indiana, most of the mainly urbanite young Londoners said that they were surprised that Indiana had so many insects and that our spiders were "bloody huge." Oh well. | | Credits: | Jim Simmons and Phil Waite | | Location: | Danville | | Contact: | Scoutmaster Steve Weakley
