The regularly scheduled speaker last week for the Rotary Club of Scenic 7 had to cancel at the last minute. Bert Clevenger of National Park Community College stepped up to speak instead.

Clevenger has been with NPCC for 18 years coordinating classes with Workforce. He presents training courses on ethical decision making to local company employees.

He also teaches a course on guitar making. Clevenger is a member of the Spa City Blues Society and enjoys playing the blues.

Clevenger explained the three categories of decision making, justice based, rights based and utilitarian based.

He used several examples that made club members think about how they make decisions. Justice based decisions are usually very black and white. Is it right or wrong? Rights based decisions are usually to benefit one small group like a family. Utilitarian rights are guided by the greater good of all.

Clevenger's talk was thought provoking and called for participation from the listeners. The talk was brief but informative.

The Rotary Club of Scenic 7 meets today at 12:10 p.m. at Molly O'Brien's on Highway 7.
