WFHB is proud to welcome Smithville back to our family of local business underwriters! After sponsoring our Daily Local News a few years ago, Smithville is back as the sponsor of both the Daily Local News AND Democracy Now!
WFHB is creating a strategic plan! As part of that process, we need to set up six task forces to develop action plans for priority objectives. The task forces are tentatively slated to complete their work between March 19 and April 31, 2012. Can you help?

Special Guest: Chef Eric Ripert, Part 1
World renown chef and TV star Eric Ripert is coming to the IU Auditorium with his buddy Anthony Bourdain on Thursday, February 16! It's called the Good vs. Evil Tour, and spotlights the two epic chefs live on stage for an up-close-and-personal look at these celebrated personalities. They will even be taking questions from the audience!
For those of you dwelling under rocks, check out Tony Bourdain trotting the globe on his raw, edgy and wildly popular, Emmy Award Winning Travel Channel show: No Reservations - now in its eighth season. His first book Kitchen Confidential is one of my favorite reads of all time.
Mr. Ripert is the chef at 3-star Michelin restaurant Le Bernardin in NYC, and also stars in AVEC ERIC - an incredible PBS series on food culture and cooking. Avec Eric also includes two spin-off mini-series. Perfect Pairings is all about dispelling common myths of food and wine pairings, and Get Toasted (my favorite - a completely brilliant concept) features (insert superlative) Mr. Ripert preparing simple, 5-minute meals that anyone can prepare at home in their toaster oven!! Amazing!!
