The Reflector interviewed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Woody Myers about the issues he is campaigning for, including healthcare, the COVID-19 pandemic and education.
Myers, a third-generation Hoosier, was an emergency room physician and a teacher at the Indiana University School of Medicine before serving as the first African American Indiana State Health Commissioner from 1986-89.
He said he is campaigning for a better future for Indiana and to prevent his grandchildren and other young Hoosiers from inheriting the issues caused by his generation.
"I could have retired, I thought about it. I tried it for a hot minute, decided, nope, I’m not ready," Myers said. "There’s just way too much to do …. I believe in Indiana. Indiana is a terrific place, but we can be so much better. If I’m elected, it will be much better."

OPINION: Is UIndy's GLVC dominance an issue?
By Jacob Walton | Sports Editor & Photo Editor
In a video about the Top Dog Challenge, a challenge between UIndy and Truman State University that will raise money for charity, University President Robert Manuel talked about the number of GLVC All-Sports Trophies that UIndy has won.
UIndy has held the trophy for eight straight years, the longest stretch in the trophy’s history, according to GLVC.com.
This may not be a positive thing for UIndy or the GLVC.

The year is 1938, you find a radio broadcast while skimming the FM waves that said that aliens were invading Earth.
Fear and panic shoots through your body, and others are panicking as well, adding to the nervousness you feel. There were already threats of war and a dictator looming in the air, anything else could happen to make it worse.
Unfortunately, that was the reality for some on Oct. 30, 1938 with the broadcasting of the radio drama “War of the Worlds,” because some of the people did not hear the disclaimer at the beginning of the broadcast.
The Department of Theatre's re-enactment of the radio drama will be broadcasted on WICR on Halloween night at both 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
