Human and Animal Welfare

Co-hosts Kay Puttock and Belinda Merritt focus in this show on human and animal welfare. We start with an interview with Commander Jason Tuttle of the Ames police, talking about the police department's Crisis Intervention Team, which responds to calls from families and individuals with a mental health episode.

Country Schools

Co hosts Paul Wierson and Susan Franzen spoke with Bill Sherman who heads the Country Schools Project for Preservation Iowa that helps people interested in restoring surviving one or two room school houses. Then Barb McDougall described the specifics of restoring Cole School near Boone, which began as an initiative of the DeScholn Daughters of the American Revolution, and has become a real community educational project.
