Unfortunately, a local Penn High School student was preparing to commit mass murder. It's good that he was caught in the planning stages.

Indiana Gubernatorial Race
Indiana democrats have more then presidential candidates to think about. In addition to the coverage on WVPE (thanks to our source at Indiana Public Broadcasting), Howey Politics is also a source that was used on All Things Considered.

Gas station woes
Of course, it hurts our pocketbook to see gas prices rise above $3.50 a gallon, but according to this quote from Time magazine,
"The farther you get from the wellhead, the greater the misery. There's a lot of stations across the country that are literally on the brink of bankruptcy."
-- TOM KLOZA of the Oil Price Information Service in Wall, N.J., on the impact of the rising price of gasoline on service stations

Environmentally Ethical Eating
For those of you who thought all you had to do was eat local and organic:

- "You can do more for the environment by not eating meat than by not driving a car." from Climate Connections
Democratic Delgates
What happens if Clinton takes Pennsylvania? How might Indiana influence the race? Slate has a great delegate calculator to play with.

Local Questions
I just heard another local caller on The Diane Rehm Show. It seems a common occurence to hear somone from Michiana making a great comment or asking a question. Have you ever called in to a WVPE program? If so, what was your experience?
