Friday was David Snodgress's last day. The three averaged nearly 30 years of employ- ment in the Herald-Times (Bloomington) newsroom. Barb's first day at the Herald-Times was June 18, 1978. A graduate of Ball State University, she first worked for the Banner-Graphic (Greencastle). Barb came to work at Herald-Times as a desk editor. In the 1980s and 1990s, Barb was the news editor. She was on the front-page job the day Indiana University's men's basketball team won the 1981 and 1987 national championships. Lynne delivered newspa- pers as an adult motor-route driver before applying for a clerical job in the news- room. During her career, Lynne mastered many jobs in the news department, was responsible for updating HeraldTimesOnline.com, was an editor and paginator, and took care of community & religious news. During college, David became the sports edi- tor at the Banner-Graphic (Greencastle), then moved to the Journal-Review (Crawfordsville), and eventu- ally ended up as a part-time photographer at the Herald- Times (Bloomington). After graduating and working for newspapers in Columbus, Ohio, and Middletown, New York, he returned to the Herald-Times in 1990 to man- age the photography depart- ment for 27 years. - Herald-Times (Bloomington) HSPA calendar April 2017 INAEA advertising contest opens May 18 HSPA/INAEA Idea Exchange Call June 7 & 14 Public Notice Advertising Seminar June 21 Reporter's Workshop Sept. 21-22 2017 HSPA Annual Conference Dec. 2 Newsroom Seminar & Awards in the dark about proposed uses for public facilities until a RFP is issued, which makes it more difficult for citizens to impact the direc- tion that government officials are going than it would be if the idea was known during the RFI stage. Key players in the bud- get bill are the budget bill's author, House Ways and Means Committee chair Rep. Tim Brown, R-Crawfordsville; and Senate Appropriations Committee chair Sen. Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville; and leadership in all four cau- cuses. HSPA also is reaching out to legislators concerning H.B. 1036, which will create a merit selection process for vacancies in Marion County courts. The call from HSPA is for the process to mir- ror the process used by the Indiana Judicial Nominating Commission to select can- didates for vacancies on the state Supreme Court or Court of Appeals. Versions of the judicial selection bill do not include provisions that make the pro- cess more transparent, which are found in the state law cre- ating the state commission . HSPA has had good conver- sations with bill author Rep. Greg Steuerwald, R-Danville, but suggested amendments have not yet materialized. Again, the hope is for changes to be made during a confer- ence committee's work on the differences between the House and Senate versions of H.B. 1036. Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany, testifies during HB 1130 Senate committee hearing.
