  • In EXCLUSIVE Interview, Recycling Advocates Say Mayor Ballard's
    9/13/2016 In EXCLUSIVE Interview, Recycling Advocates Say Mayor Ballard’s Radical Plan Will Make Recycling Worse! | AM 1310: The Light PLAY WITH SOUND AMOS PODCAST Home In EXCLUSIVE Interview, Recycling Advocates Say Mayor Ballard’s Radical Plan Will Make Recycling Worse! 2 years ago Amos Brown ... Leave a comment Indianapolis may be the 11th largest city in the country and Indy may be trying to be a leader in progressive things like bike lanes and sustainability, but when it comes to recycling e퐀orts, Indianapolis ranks way down the list of major cities. And a radical proposal by Mayor Greg Ballard could cause recycling to become even more di퐀icult. That’s according to the Executive Director of the Indiana Recycling Coalition Executive Director Carey Hamilton. She appeared on AԸernoons with Amos to express concern about a Ballard Administration plan to radically change recycling e퐀orts. Currently, households pay a fee and get a blue and yellow container to place their recyclables in. But Mayor Ballard’s looking at a new plan where a company, Covanta, that currently operates Indianapolis’ main incinerator facility on South Harding Street would collect all garbage including recyclables like glass and plastic containers and dump them all together and extract the recyclables out. Carey Hamilton vehemently disagrees with that approach. Carey Hamilton, Indiana Recycling Coalition In her interview with Amos, Hamilton contents that major companies like WalMart, Coca Cola and others that use huge quantities of recyclable materials are finding it economically in their best interest to use pure recycled materials. The Ballard plan would reduce the access to those materials and drive up the cost to those companies.

  • FRANK GATSON Jr
    FRANK GATSON Jr. - Bio Director/Artist Visual Developer Creative Director/Choreographer Frank Gatson Jr. discovered the world of dance after seeing the Broadway production of ‘The Wiz’. In 1980 he graduated from the University Of Wisconsin-Madison and began dancing for 'Up With People', an organization that travelled the world performing at all different kinds of venues even appearing at several Super Bowl halftime performances. Eventually, Frank worked his way up to official ‘dance captain’ and, finally, began to manage the show itself. He later moved to New York to study at the ‘Broadway Dance Center’ and ‘Alvin Ailey Dance Center’. After finishing his time at Ailey and Broadway centers he returned to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and received a Masters in Theatre and Dance. He got his first professional break when he danced in Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” video and eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue more opportunities. It was in L.A that Frank started his career choreographing for the legendary EnVogue. Attending a beauty pageant Frank had choreographed, Cindy Herron of EnVogue asked him if he'd help her choreograph her girl group's videos ‘My Lovin’ and ‘The Funky Divas Tour’. The rest is history. EnVogue exploded as Frank honed in his skills and developed what is now his signature style and as well as his ability to turn ordinary people into 'stars'. His talent and amazing vision caught the attention of Camille Yorrick at Sony Music who was in the early stages of Destiny's Child. Frank became their Creative Director and Choreographer while Destiny's Child became a huge success.
