    Aseracare Hospice is helping to honor veterans in our area with special pinning & certificate presentations. In fact, they've honored over 500 vets over the last several months. In many cases, this is the first time some of our area vets have been told, "Thank you for your service". James Witty talks about the involvement of Aseracare Hospice in these presentations and what it means to the vets and their families.

    Aaron Nichols and Steve Cole tell Gordy about the newest production of the South Bend Civic Theatre, "Take Me Out", which opens Friday and runs through November 23rd. The play is smart, funny and thought provoking and is about a baseball team who are forced to confront the changing dynamics of their team, when one of their players announces that he is gay. Note: "Take Me Out" contains some adult language, situations and partial nudity and it is recommended that audience members are 16 or older. www.sbct.org
