A couple of weeks ago, we had a program discussing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and how the true meaning is often camouflaged with the Easter Bunny.  But following the resurrection, Christ was back on Earth for 40 days.  There were over 500 witnesses to this before his ascension to Heaven.

When the 1970s rolled around, people started preparing for our bicentennial. as I sell a house from that era often I notice in the pitch of the the porch roof, or above the garage somewhere is an American Eagle with wings spread. Your kitchen wallpaper and paneling were colonial American based themes. Companies marketed colonial items and they love to put the decals or stamp of the liberty Bell or the eagle... something American. I have yet to put away all of my toys from the bicentennial! The catalysts for that 70’s era was that World War II generation that we refer to many times as the greatest generation they were patriots. What is this generation going to do with the 250th? President Trump has an initiative called America 250!  Coordinating the effort on a local level is our preeminent local historian Sandy McBeth!

Host Randy Harris sits down with Matt Wells — a Pike County native who rose from volunteer firefighter and EMS director to Assistant Chief at the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office. They discuss his personal journey, major responses like the 2005 tornado, and how small-town values shaped his career. The episode explores the State Fire Marshal’s mission: fire prevention, investigations, and safety regulations, plus real-world issues like arson, product recalls, and smoke alarm importance. It also covers how technology — cell data, AI, drones, 3D scans, and forensic science — is changing investigations and public safety.

Welcome to WFPC Podcasting! This is a weekly look at news, information and the people in and around Pike County! One thing that endeared Pike County to me, when I pulled into town, was community and caring about each other. 70 years ago, some of the people in the community realized we needed a stronger baseball presence within the community. After all, the best first baseman in major league ball played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and was from right here. So a few individuals, parents, business owners, started meeting in the above the Voyles IGA Building in Johnny and Virginia’s office, in what is now to White Brick Hair Salon. Deb Minnis started hauling in sand to what became the American Legion Baseball Field. Lem and Louise MCClellan started hosting fish fries to raise money… the whole community was involved and ready to play ball for the 1957 season! Today, that community still exists on the American Legion Baseball Field. When we were starting WFPC Podcasting months ago, I was telling the Little League President’s husband about the podcast and he said, “We need to promote the little league at sign up time.” Here we are. And the position of dealing with Randy was dealt 6 for 7 months ago to Buck Seger. Thanks for joining us for this program of WFPC Podcasting! As you notice WFPC Podcasting is incorporating new sponsors to the program. Many thanks to Kyle Hathaway for his continued sponsorship as well as Harris Real Estate and Petersburg Car Wash. Welcome to The Dustin Schnarr Agency, Shoultz Eye Care and The Log Ends Farm Bed and Breakfast. WFPC Podcasting is not as expensive as the overhead of a radio station, but there is still overhead and we hope you thank our sponsors for their support. We hope to grow WFPC and it’s list of sponsors in the future to provide more quality programing.

One of the mainstays around Winslow for the last hundred years, and usually we use that term loosely, but in this case is not an exaggeration, is Marilee Hume. Marilee was born in 1926!

Welcome to WPFC Podcasting! This is a weekly look at news, information and the people in and around Pike County! During and following World War II, our country was on high alert and prepared for potential attacks. President Franklin Roosevelt established the Office of Civil Defense which prepared our communities not only for those potential attacks, but also to coordinate medical, health and protective measures. Then came the cold war and the Civil Defense Act of 1950.  The program evolved and over the years the program shifted toward general emergency management. The name changed to the Emergency Management Agency and the program, the world, continues to evolve!  We have two guests today, one is the Pike County Emergency Management Agency Director, who also administers out 911 Emergency call center, Kyler Henry, who is somewhat new to this position, but he has a mentor.

Thanks for joining us in 2025 for WFPC podcasting where we explored the people, information and news right here in Pike County! I've been blessed with three careers. It started out with broadcasting, transitioned into politics, which transitioned into properties and real estate. They've all kind of worked in harmony together with one leading to the other. Broadcasting has changed over the years but at the heart of it was communicating with people. And what brought me to Pike County in 1988 was WFPC Radio. The great thing about that was connecting with the people specifically, the people of Pike County and in this area of rural Indiana. As the medium has changed, a new technology has been introduced. Which is very similar to what we did back in the day and that is podcasting. Another blessing has been getting to meet Dylan Query and pitching him the idea which is very similar to what WFPC radio was and that is focusing on and connecting with the people right here. The newsmakers, the one with information about the community and the history and future through its people. So welcome to WFPC podcasting! A special thanks to Denise my wife for accepting all these projects, my daughters Jayla and Jenna for being a sounding board as well.

It’s always good on WFPC to visit with longtime friends.  Recently we had a chance to talk with Howard “Andy" Anderson, a long-time Pike County teacher and coach who had a dual career with the Army and Army Reserves.  Years ago I had the opportunity to speak with a couple of Andy’s social studies classes.  It didn’t take long to realize that he had a lot of real life stories to add color to his students lessons.  Some highlights of our recent discussion chronicled his beginnings on a farm in Cuzco, Indiana, the consolidation of Cuzco high school to Dubois, then on to Butler University to learn under Tony Hinkle, a transfer to Oakland City College and then his military career and coaching career that started in Francisco, stopped back home at Dubois, then Otwell and finally at Pike Central! Here are some highlights of our conversation!

Welcome to WPFC Podcasting! This is a weekly look at news, information and the people in and around Pike County! Being Mayor is/can be and should be, an all consuming job…. You over see sewer plant and water plant. You have water lines to rebuild and expand…You’ve got to make sure to take care the fire and the police department’s needs so they can do their job. You’ve got the park to maintain, streets to build….great decisions come and go, but then you’ve always got pot holes to fill and weed letters to send out, visits to make…. Back when I served as mayor we had a great organization called the Petersburg Jaycees and they ran an annual community get together called the Catfish Festival.  But after many years with a changing society, service organizations started fade. The Jaycees ran out of steam. The City jumped in, and before long created the Buffalo Trace Festival.  Today’s goes is Petersburg Mayor RC Klipsch. Mayor!

Welcome to WPFC Podcasting! This is a weekly look at news, information and the people in and around Pike County! Before the consolidation of Pike County Schools for the 1974-75 school year, the three remaining high schools were Otwell, Petersburg and Winslow. And when it comes to small-town Indiana schools, many were defined by the success of the basketball program!  It was a way of life… and only needing a handful or two of participants small schools could compete with programs that had larger student bodies.  Otwell had some great success especially in the late 1960s and early ‘70s.  Petersburg had some sporadic success throughout the years… but Winslow… year in and year out… Winslow was pretty dominate. There is a book that’s out called "Eskimo Fever."  It was written by Mitchell Stinson.

Welcome to WPFC Podcasting! This is a weekly look at news and information in and around Pike County! Our heritage of Coal Mining in Pike County is a deep vein. Fact check me, but I think 38% of our geography has been coal mined.  That, in part, is why our 334 square miles of land, only has about 12,500 inhabitants.  Our foot print is larger than that of New York City! One of the coal mines, this one in Jefferson Township, near Cato, the property was gifted by Old Ben Coal, to the Buffalo Trace Council of the Boy Scouts and they built a regional scout retreat.  A few years ago, that property became expendable by the scouts and was purchased by Clint and Michelle Swisher.
