00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.740
>> EACH WEEK A GROUP OF INSIDERS
JOIN ME TO OFFER PERSPECTIVE ON
SOME OF THE WEEK'S TOP STORIES.
THIS WEEK, SOUNDING OUT ON THE

2
00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:18.785
BIG BECK'S EXPANSION, A MAJOR
COMPANY COMING TO DOWNTOWN
WESTFIELD AND HO THANK YOU SERS
ARE REMEMBERING RICHARD LUGAR.

3
00:00:18.785 --> 00:00:27.994
PRESIDENT ROBERT HERZOG,
CHAIRMAN AND CEO FRANK T. SHORT
AND UINDY ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF
SCIENCE, LAURA WILSON, WELCOME

4
00:00:27.994 --> 00:00:33.366
ONE AND ALL TO THE INSIDERS THIS
WEEK.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WE START OFF WITH THAT BIG

5
00:00:33.366 --> 00:00:39.873
EXPANSION FROM BECK'S IN
ATLANTA, NORTHERN HAMILTON
COUNTY.
FRANK BECK'S IS TRULY A HOME

6
00:00:39.873 --> 00:00:46.813
GROWN INDIANA SUCCESS STORY,
LARGEST FAMILY OWN SEED COMPANY
IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES.
THE $62 MILLION EXPANSION WILL

7
00:00:46.813 --> 00:00:53.019
ESSENTIALLY DOUBLE THEIR
PROCESSING AND PRODUCTION
FACILITY IN ATLANTA
>> YOU'RE RIGHT, I THINK IT'S A

8
00:00:53.019 --> 00:00:58.725
GREAT SUCCESS STORY.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ONLY THE
LARGEST IN INDIANA BUT LIKE THE
THIRD LARGEST IN THE COUNTRY AND

9
00:00:58.725 --> 00:01:04.564
THEY ONLY DO BUSINESS IN ABOUT
11 OR 12 STATES AS OPPOSED TO
THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
I MEAN, I THINK IT'S A BUSINESS

10
00:01:04.564 --> 00:01:09.969
IN FOCUS AND AS YOU TALKED ABOUT
EARLIER AND WE WERE TALK OFF
CAMERA, THESE JOBS ARE GOING TO
BE COMING, THEY'RE TECH JOBS SO

11
00:01:09.969 --> 00:01:17.877
AS KIND OF LAURA WAS JUST
SAYING, IT COMBINES OUR ROOTSZ S
WITH WHERE WE'RE GOING IN
BUSINESS SO IT'S A LOT DIFFERENT

12
00:01:17.877 --> 00:01:22.382
THAN WHEN THEY STARTED THAT
COMPANY.
>> VERY MUCH A DIFFERENT STORY.
AND LAURA, US A TALK ABOUT THESE

13
00:01:22.382 --> 00:01:31.057
JOBS, 60 JOBS OR SO, THIS IS AN
AGRICULTURE COMPANY BUT THE JOBS
ARE IN SOFTWARE RIDERS AND I.T.,
YOU KNOW, DEVELOPERS, PEOPLE IN

14
00:01:31.057 --> 00:01:37.230
THE RESEARCH AREA, SO THESE ARE
HIGH-TECH JOBS AND JOBS THAT PAY
ABOVE THE AVERAGE.
>> THEY ARE.

15
00:01:37.230 --> 00:01:44.471
THEY'RE INCREDIBLY LUCRATIVE.
THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS WE
WANT TO ATTRACT TO THE STATE AND
I DO THINK IT'S A GREAT TRIBUTE

16
00:01:44.471 --> 00:01:48.975
TO OUR HISTORY, WHERE WE'RE
GOING IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE
OFFERING.

17
00:01:48.975 --> 00:01:54.781
>> FROM A WORKFORCE STANDPOINT
OH, YOU KNOW, AGRICULTURE LIKE
OTHER SECTORS TRYING TO GET
YOUNG PEOPLE MANUFACTURING,

18
00:01:54.781 --> 00:01:58.284
SEARCHING FOR THOSE YOUNG
PEOPLE.
THESE KINDS OF JOBS, IT'S KIND
OF THE MESSAGE THAT THE

19
00:01:58.284 --> 00:02:02.355
AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY WANTS TO
GET OUT TO YOUNG PEOPLE, COLLEGE
GRADUATES.
THESE ARE THE KIND OF JOBS WE

20
00:02:02.355 --> 00:02:08.862
HAVE IN THE INDUSTRY.
>> IT'S A GREAT VERTICAL FOR
INDY TO BE IN, AND I LOVE THE
SLOW BUT STEADY GROWTH TOO OF

21
00:02:08.862 --> 00:02:16.669
THIS O JUST PROVES WHAT YOU CAN
DO AS A FAMILY, WELL RUN
ORGANIZATION AGRICULTURE,
INDIANA AND THE MIDWEST.

22
00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:27.580
>> AS YOU LOOK AT THIS SECTOR,
IT'S GENERALLY CALLED THE ASM G
BIOSCIENCES NOW, AGRINOVUS IS
DOING GREAT THINGS IN INDIANA TO

23
00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:32.785
BRING THESE ELEMENTS TOGETHER
BUT THE POTENTIAL YOU FEEL
INDIANA HAS IN THIS SPACE,
BECK'S IS JUST ONE OF NUMEROUS

24
00:02:32.785 --> 00:02:37.457
COMPANIES IN THE SPACE.
YOU'VE GOT PURDUE AMONG OTHERS.
>> YEAH.
I MEAN, THERE'S A TON OF UPSIDE,

25
00:02:37.457 --> 00:02:42.095
RIGHT?
IT'S A MATTER OF KIND OF
IDENTIFYING PRIORITIES AND
MAKING SURE FROM AN INVESTMENT

26
00:02:42.095 --> 00:02:48.134
STANDPOINT ON PUBLIC POLICY SIDE
AND INVESTMENT, YOU KNOW, FROM
THE STATE THAT WE'RE MAKING
THOSE RIGHT DECISIONS BUT THIS

27
00:02:48.134 --> 00:02:54.207
IS CLEARLY ONE FROM A PRIVATE
INVESTENT PERSPECTIVE, MAKES A
LOT OF SENSE.
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF

28
00:02:54.207 --> 00:02:58.511
GROWTH IN THIS VERTICAL FOR
SURE.
>> IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT

29
00:02:58.511 --> 00:03:03.483
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN A NUMBER OF
COMMUNITIES.
CITIES AROUND THE STATE,
INCLUDING HERE IN CENTRAL

30
00:03:03.483 --> 00:03:11.324
INDIANA, FRANK WESTFIELD
CONTINUES TO BE A COMMUNITY THAT
IS CHANGING IN A BIG WAY.
THEY ANNOUNCED A MAJOR

31
00:03:11.324 --> 00:03:18.565
$25 MILLION RESIDENTIAL
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR THE
CITIES DOWNTOWN, RETAIL
RESIDENTIAL AND OTHER THINGS

32
00:03:18.565 --> 00:03:28.975
THERE.
ONE CITY THAT REALLY IS
TRANSFORMING ITSELF.
>> YEAH, I THINK MAYOR KOCH,

33
00:03:28.975 --> 00:03:35.148
HISTORY, GOING FORWARD, THEY
WANT TO MAINTAIN THEIR DOWNTOWN,
THEIR OLD DOWNTOWN MUCH AS
CARMEL HAS DONE WITH THE ARTS

34
00:03:35.148 --> 00:03:41.621
DISTRICT BUT BRING IN, YOU KNOW,
WRAP NEW AROUND IT AND
EVERYTHING.
SO ALL THOSE BEDROOM COMMUNITIES

35
00:03:41.621 --> 00:03:49.829
FROM INDIANAPOLIS ARE DOING A
GREAT JOB IN BECOMING THEIR OWN
DES IT TI NATION,
DESTINATION, NOT SOMEWHERE WHERE

36
00:03:49.829 --> 00:03:58.037
PEOPLE COME TO THE CITY AND GO
HOME.
ALL THE CITIES, CARMEL, FISHERS,
WESTFIELD, NOBLESVILLE, THEY'RE

37
00:03:58.037 --> 00:04:02.208
ALL GROWING.
>> SEEMS LIKE WE TALK ABOUT IT
EVERY TIME ON THIS SHOW, IT'S
ALL ABOUT LIVABILITY, RIGHT?

38
00:04:02.208 --> 00:04:08.581
THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
TRYING TO BUILD THAT LIVABILITY
AND CORE DOWNTOWN.
AS FRANK MENTIONED, YOUNGER

39
00:04:08.581 --> 00:04:14.954
PEOPLE, EVEN SOME RETIRED WANNA
BE, WA NO GO TO RESTAURANTS,
WANNA WALK AROUND, BE IN A
LIVABLE SPOT, THAT'S A GOOD

40
00:04:14.954 --> 00:04:23.696
EXAMPLE OF THIS.
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S ABOUT
BUILDING A BRAND TOO, AND IN
THIS CASE, WESTFIELD'S BRAND IS

41
00:04:23.696 --> 00:04:27.467
AT YOUTH SPORTS, THE COLTS ARE
GOING TO HAVE THEIR TRAINING
HEADQUARTERS THERE FOR THE NEXT
10 YEARS.

42
00:04:27.467 --> 00:04:36.342
SO IT'S ABOUT CREATING KIND OF
THAT BRAND AROUND VIBRANCY.
FISHERS, IT'S THE HIGH-TECH,
INNOVATION ENTREPRENEURSHIP

43
00:04:36.342 --> 00:04:40.413
PIECE.
>> I LIKE IT A LOT.
THE NORTH SIDE IS REALLY DOING A
GREAT JOB, HOPEFULLY KEEP FULL

44
00:04:40.413 --> 00:04:45.485
STEAM AHEAD, THIS IS A GREAT
EXAMPLE FOR WESTFIELD.
>> WELL, AND IT'S ABOUT
RECOGNITION, I GUESS YOU COULD

45
00:04:45.485 --> 00:04:50.189
SAY.
CARMEL, THIS WEEK WAS NAMED A
TOP 10 PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY
IN THE MIDWEST.

46
00:04:50.189 --> 00:04:56.129
YOU HAVE A LOT OF LISTS THAT ARE
OUT THERE.
DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING?
>> I THINK IT DOES.

47
00:04:56.129 --> 00:05:01.100
CARMEL OBVIOUSLY RISES TO THE
TOP FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
THINGS BUT WHEN YOU LOOK IN
TERMS OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES,

48
00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:06.873
CERTAINLY FROM COMMUNITY, WE
TALK ABOUT LIVE ANLT,
LIVN
EDUCATION.

49
00:05:06.873 --> 00:05:11.511
REALLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY,
THEY'VE OBVIOUSLY BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL.
>> IN ATTRACTING CORPORATE

50
00:05:11.511 --> 00:05:19.719
HEADQUARTERS AND THAT CORPORATE
BASE, THEY'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD
JOB AT THAT.
ANOTHER BIG ECONOMIC

51
00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:27.493
DEVELOPMENT, SPORTS IS BIG, THIS
WAS A BIG WEEK FOR INDY 11, THE
SOCCER FRANCHISE HERE IN
INDIANAPOLIS, THE GOVERNOR

52
00:05:27.493 --> 00:05:33.032
SIGNING THE BILL THAT
ESSENTIALLY CREATES THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD A NEW
STADIUM AS PART OF A BIGGER

53
00:05:33.032 --> 00:05:38.404
DEVELOPMENT BUT BIG WEEK FOR
INDY.
>> THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB BUT
AS YOU'VE SAID, YOU KNOW, IT'S

54
00:05:38.404 --> 00:05:46.345
BIG DEVELOPMENT, IT'S NOT JUST A
STADIUM AND PARKING FOR A
THOUSAND CARS.
AGAIN, A DESTINATION.

55
00:05:46.345 --> 00:05:51.918
AS MUCH AS EVERY DEVELOPMENT LAS
GONE ON, WATERSIDE, IT'S A
DESTINATION.
CITYWAY JUST SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN

56
00:05:51.918 --> 00:05:58.558
WAS A DESTINATION, ONE OF THE
FIRST ONES THAT BUCKINGHAM DID,
BRAD CHAMBERS.
HE'S GOING TO BUILD A

57
00:05:58.558 --> 00:06:03.896
DESTINATION, RETAIL, LIVING
SPACE, APARTMENTS, RESTAURANTS
AS YOU TALKED ABOUT.
SO AGAIN, THE FOCUS WILL BT

58
00:06:03.896 --> 00:06:09.168
STADIUM, BUT IT WILL BE
EVERYTHING AROUND IT THAT
CREATES THAT DESTINATION.
NOW THE QUESTION WHERE IT'S

59
00:06:09.168 --> 00:06:12.305
GOING TO GO, THAT'S THE
INTERESTING QUESTION.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY KNOWS THAT
YET.

60
00:06:12.305 --> 00:06:16.909
>> YEAH, NOBODY KNOWS.
WHAT DO WE THINK?
IT'S GOT TO BE DOWNTOWN
SOMEWHERE.

61
00:06:16.909 --> 00:06:26.652
>> YEAH, I MEAN, I'VE HEARD LIKE
I THINK EVERYBODY HEARD A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT PLACES THAT COULD
BE, I THINK ALL THE FOCUS IS

62
00:06:26.652 --> 00:06:33.459
NEAR DOWNTOWN OR VERY CLOSELY
ADJACENT TO.
SO THAT'S THE NEXT BIG STEP.
WE COULDN'T GET TO THAT NEXT

63
00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:39.165
SPOT WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO GET
THROUGH THE GOVERNOR SO I'M GLAD
TO SEE THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO DO THAT.

64
00:06:39.165 --> 00:06:47.907
>> YOU THINK THAT SITE SOUTH OF
LUCAS OIL --
>> IT SEEMS LIKE A LOGICAL
PLACE.

65
00:06:47.907 --> 00:06:52.578
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> WE'LL SEE.
ALSO THIS
THIS WEEK, REMEMBEE

66
00:06:52.578 --> 00:07:01.254
HOOSIER ICONS, SOME TRUE LEGENDS
IN THE POLITICAL COMMUNITY IN
OUR STATE, RICHARD LUGAR PASSING
AWAY, AND A LOT OF SOCIAL MEDIA

67
00:07:01.254 --> 00:07:10.229
FLOODED WITH A LOT OF THOUGHTS
AND REMEMBRANCES OF HIM, AND
LAURA US A LOOK AT THE LEGACY
THAT HE LEAVES AS A FORMER MAYOR

68
00:07:10.229 --> 00:07:16.602
OF INDIANAPOLIS, AS A SENATOR,
THE IMPACT NOT ONLY HERE IN
INDIANA BUT REALLY AROUND THE
GLOBE.

69
00:07:16.602 --> 00:07:21.274
>> EXACTLY.
IT WAS AN INTERNATIONAL
REPUTATION.
I THINK PART OF IT WAS BECAUSE

70
00:07:21.274 --> 00:07:26.179
HE WASN'T PARTISAN IN WHAT HE
DID, HE WAS WILLING TO
COMPROMISE, HE WAS ALSO SOMEONE
WHO WAS REALLY FOCUSED ON THE

71
00:07:26.179 --> 00:07:30.650
LONG TERM.
SO THERE WAS TWO TERMS AS MAYOR,
SIX IN TERMS OF THE SENATE, HE
WASN'T JUST LOOKING AT WHAT

72
00:07:30.650 --> 00:07:36.255
WE'RE DOING NOW BUT KIND OF THAT
VISION FOR THE FUTURE.
I SEE A LOT OF WHAT WE'VE DONE
IN INDIANAPOLIS TO CREDIT TO

73
00:07:36.255 --> 00:07:41.627
HIM.
>> HOW ABOUT THE BIPARTISANSHIP
THAT YOU MENTIONED, A LOT OF
PEOPLE BRING THAT UP WITH HIM,

74
00:07:41.627 --> 00:07:45.598
THAT SEEMS IT TO BE VACANT OR
MISSING IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT.
>> I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING
THAT IN

75
00:07:45.598 --> 00:07:52.939
ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERH
OCCASIONS FOR HIM.
HIS FIGHT FOR HUNGER,
INTERNATIONALISM, WHAT HE DID IN

76
00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:59.011
THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS, I
THINK, IT'S SOMETHING THAT
TODAY'S LEGISLATORS, WHETHER
THEY BE HERE IN INDIANAPOLIS OR

77
00:07:59.011 --> 00:08:02.582
IN D.C. CAN REALLY WORK
TOWARDS.
IT'S ABOUT FINDING COMMON
GROUND, RIGHT?

78
00:08:02.582 --> 00:08:10.389
AND I THINK HE WAS A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF THAT.
>> I THINK YOU TAKE RICHARD
LUGAR, THOSE KIND OF POLITICIANS

79
00:08:10.389 --> 00:08:16.896
AREN'T AROUND ANYMORE, WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT IT, BIRCH WAS THE
ONLY PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF
REPUBLIC TO WRITE TWO

80
00:08:16.896 --> 00:08:21.200
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS THAT
WASN'T A FOUNDING FATHER, NOT
ONE, TWICE.
TITLE IX WHICH ALLOWED WOMEN AND

81
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:26.105
GIRLS TO PARTICIPATE IN SPORTSZ,
I NOTICE THE FEVER WAS WELL
REPRESENTED AT THE MEMORIAL
SERVICE YESTERDAY WHICH I

82
00:08:26.105 --> 00:08:30.643
THOUGHT WAS NICE.
SENATOR LUGAR, NUCLEAR WEAPONS
PROLIFERATION, THE STOPPING OF
THAT.

83
00:08:30.643 --> 00:08:38.517
WORKING AGAIN WITH SAM NUNN FROM
GEORGIA, DEMOCRAT, MORE
BIPARTISAN.
YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPES OF PEOPLE,

84
00:08:38.517 --> 00:08:42.622
LEE HAMILTON WAS AT THE SERVICE
YESTERDAY, ANOTHER FOREIGN
AFFAIRS EXPERT, HE AND DICK
LUGAR WORKED FOR YEARSING

85
00:08:42.622 --> 00:08:51.864
R
ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS, ADVISING
PRESIDENTS IN LEE'S CASE FROM
JOHNSON TO OBAMA.

86
00:08:51.864 --> 00:08:58.271
SO YOU'RE RIGHT, I THINK WE NEED
MORE OF THAT TO COME BACK
BECAUSE IT'S A UNIQUE QUALITY
THAT WE'RE LOSING BIT BY BIT

87
00:08:58.271 --> 00:09:02.775
EVERY DAY, AND IT'S EVERYBODY'S
FAULT SO EVERYBODY HAS TO GIVE
SOME TO GET THE PROCESS GOING
BACK.

88
00:09:02.775 --> 00:09:10.549
>> AMAZING HOOSIER LEGACY WITH
THOSE TWO, IT REALLY IS.
>> NO QUESTION.
ROBERT HERZOG, LAURA WILSON,

89
00:09:10.549 --> 00:09:11.550
ALSO FRANK T. SHORT, THANK YOU
