THE BOB REPORT
Pornography shocks columnist represented Moose. Now I cannot give you the specifics of what shocked me about this show. It was that dirty. I am not exaggerating, and I am not being an old maid when I tell you this. But it contained some of the most explicit sexual scenes I have ever seen on a non-cable television show. And the fact it was animated, and geared toward teenagers, made it even more controversial, in my opinion. If my kids had seen this show, I would ship them off to a nunnery. I know the Fox News division likes to distance itself from the Fox entertainment division. And this show is one reason why. This was produced by one of Fox’s division. So the next time Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity tries to claim the high moral ground for Rupert Murdoch and his gang of thugs, I suggest they sit down with a group of teens from their families and watch this “High School USA” show from start to finish. I called the FOX television station in Fort Wayne at 260-471-5555 and asked to speak to the station manager. He was “not available” but I left a message with my name and phone number, hoping I could ask him if he had even seen this show before it was aired. I hope he calls me back. Again, I don’t mean to preach, but pornography does NOT have a place on over-the-air TV at 11 p.m. on a Saturday night. Thanks for reading.
I am not a prude when it comes to the media. But everyone has their limits. And those limits can change, over time. For instance, now that my daughters are THE BOB full-fledged REPORT teenagers, I have to Bob Buttgen worry and watch what This column kinds of TV shows they is the personal have access opinion of the to. editor Bob For the most part, Buttgen. He we rely on can be reached our girls’ at leader@ good sense kpcmedia.com. of right and wrong, and let them police their own media watching. But a couple of Saturdays ago, I came across a television show on WFFT, the Fort Wayne FOX station. It was at 11 p.m. and I think that is prime-time viewing for teenagers, as a lead-in to “Saturday Night Live” on an another channel. The show which shocked me (yes, even I can be shocked), was called “High School USA.” At first glance, it looked like a televised version of the old “Archie” comics which I read, faithfully, as a young boy. This new show had a red-headed lead character, a cute blonde and cute brunette, aka Betty and Veronica, and a big, dumb jock who

Cabin restoration project continues at Stone’s Trace
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Efforts by the Stone’s Trace Historical Society to rebuild the Grambling Family Log House continues. Financial support has been received from many sources, including Noble REMC, which recently gave a grant to the historical society through its Round-Up Program. At a recent check presentation, Kim Allen, left, representing the Noble REMC Operation Round Up board of directors, gave the check to Chuck Sweeney, center, from the Stone’s Trace Historical Society, and Jim Nelson of the Stone’s Trace Regulators. That group helped put up the walls of cabin and continues to work on the project. The cabin was built in 1859 and its former home was between Ashley and Waterloo, over in DeKalb and Steuben counties. It was moved, in pieces, to the Stone’s Trace site near Ligonier last year and that group is working to rebuilt it there.

He was a test pilot in the military, and after his service, Farrand made a living servicing electronics.

There’s no mistaking which home is Farrand’s, northwest of Ligonier. Outside his home sits a old, twin-engine propeller plane he restored. It’s a familiar landmark for area residents. And now, whenever he flies, his wife is right next to him, serving as navigator to one of the most important men in American aviation history. “And she always knows where she’s at, so that’s a plus,” he said with a chuckle.
