Concerned Parents, Teachers Drawn To Statehouse By Controversial Education Bill
Concerned Parents, Teachers Drawn To Statehouse By Controversial Education Bill
INDIANAPOLIS— An Indiana Senate committee heard hours of conflicting testimony Wednesday at the Statehouse regarding a controversial “harmful materials for minors†bill.
Vanessa Martin, director of Greensburg/Decatur County Public Library, spoke at the Senate Education and Career Development hearing. She voiced her opposition to SB 17 and advocated for the local request systems already in place.The Senate Education and Career Development Committee heard multiple bills in its meeting, with Senate Bill 17 drawing the most attention and testimony.
SB 17 allows for K-12 schools and public libraries to be prosecuted for books and other materials deemed to be harmful, including obscenity, pornography or violence.
According to the author of the bill, Sen. James Tomes, R-Wadesville, the bill “removes the word education as a defense.†In other words, a school or library would be unable to claim that the alleged obscenity in a book is “educational.â€
The testimonial portion of the hearing highlighted the growing divide in the state regarding education, as many concerned parents voiced their support for more control over what media their children are absorbing while many teachers and librarians spoke out against the bill as a limit on individual and institutional freedoms.
Parent Brett Carpenter explained his support of the bill by saying, “I am not for censorship, but I am for discretion.†He argued the bill would protect children from needlessly obscene media in schools and on library shelves.
Kelly Ehinger, director for Adams Public Library System, explained her opposition to the bill: “Because libraries serve all people, not everyone will be interested or like everything at the library.†Her opposition also rested on her belief that current, local policies in place for parents to request material removal are sufficient.
Chris Mitchell, an affiliate for the nonprofit IN Library Federation, also spoke in opposition to SB 17. His main concern regarded the potential for varying parental opinions to have the ability to launch felony charges against staff of schools and libraries.

FERRARO HAT TRICK LEADS THUNDERBOLTS TO OVERTIME WIN OVER BOBCATSÂ
Evansville, In.:  It was the Mike Ferraro show at Ford Center on Friday night, as Ferraro scored all three Thunderbolt goals to help Evansville defeat the Vermilion County Bobcats in overtime, 3-2.  The Thunderbolts next home game will be on Saturday, January 22ndat 7:00pm CST as they host the Quad City Storm. For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), buy online at EvansvilleThunderbolts.com, or buy tickets in person at the Ford Center Box Office.
It was Vermilion County who scored first, as Chase DiBari sniped the first shot of the game past Brian Billett to give the Bobcats a 1-0 lead at 2:04. That lead lasted only a minute and 17 seconds as Ferraro scored his first goal of the night at 3:21 from Zane Jones and Tyson Kirkby to tie the game. That trio connected again at 18:27 of the first period, as Ferraro was set up by Jones from behind the net to give Evansville the 2-1 lead, again assisted by Kirkby as well. The score stayed stagnant through the second period and into the third period before the Bobcats tied the game on a quick shot only 38 seconds into the period from Egor Borshchev.
Despite a 15-3 shot advantage, the Thunderbolts failed to score in the third period against Bobcat goaltender Ben Churchfield. Evansville took a late penalty with only 45 seconds remaining in regulation but managed to kill off the first 45 seconds to force overtime and killed off the remaining 1:15 in overtime. The Bobcats nearly won it on said power play in overtime, as Christian Faggas hit the corner of the post and crossbar to nearly win it for the Bobcats, but it stayed just out of the net and the Thunderbolts took control once the power play was over.  Right off the face-off at 2:07 of overtime, Brandon Lubin set up Ferraro, who moved in on goal and scored a highlight-reel goal, on a shot from between the legs, to beat Churchfield and win it for Evansville in overtime, 3-2.
Ferraro scored all three Thunderbolts goals, while Jones and Kirkby each tallied two assists. Billett finished with 20 saves on 22 shots for his 11th win of the season. The Thunderbolts next face the Bobcats on Saturday, February 5th at Ford Center.

In addition to the 800 meters, King also helped USI’s 4×400-meter relay team to a fifth-place finish, one of nine top-five performances for the Screaming Eagles, who racked up 56 points on the day.
Freshman Rick Pflanz (Huntingburg, Indiana) and senior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) were each third in the 800 meters and mile, respectively, while junior Noah Hufnagel (Santa Claus, Indiana) finished fifth in the mile.
Sophomore Kyle Crone (Maryville, Illinois) was fourth in the long jump and fifth in the high jump. His mark of 21 feet, 2.0 inches in the long jump was an indoor personal-best.
Rounding out USI’s top-five performances was sophomore Josh Kaminski (Lafayette, Indiana), who was fifth in the shot put with a heave of 45’0.25″.
USI heads back to Louisville next Friday to compete at the Campbellsville Invitational at the Norton Sports Complex.
