Ready To Take Action To Protect Life

 STATE REPRESENTATIVE CINDY LEDBETTER

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States at the federal level instead of leaving the question of abortion up to the states. Nearly 50 years later, the Supreme Court could overturn this ruling and if they do – either partially or in its entirety – I, along with many other state legislators, stand ready to take action.

This summer the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to rule on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,where the state of Mississippi is challenging Roe v. Wade. I recently signed on to a letter with 99 other state lawmakers to urge the governor to call a special session if Roe v. Wade is overturned, so we can enact legislation to better protect the sanctity of life. The governor would need to call the legislature back because the 2022 session ended in March and the 2023 session isn’t scheduled to begin until January.

Indiana Right to Life estimates an additional 4,000 abortions would occur in the state if the General Assembly waits until the 2023 legislative session to address any changes to Roe v. Wade. If given this opportunity in June, we shouldn’t wait. Needless delays could mean more lives lost

It’s critical we do more to support the unborn and mothers. That’s why this session I supported a new law to make it a felony in Indiana to coerce a woman into having an abortion. The law also holds abortion clinics accountable for failing to report coercion to law enforcement. This is crucial because some pregnant women seeking an abortion are pressured into making this heartbreaking decision by an abusive boyfriend or a human trafficker. According to a 2017 survey of nearly 1,000 women by the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, 75 percent of women who had an abortion said they experienced “at least subtle forms of pressure to terminate their pregnancies.”

Indiana’s pro-life policies are working, leading to a 29 percent decrease in abortions since 2008, but there’s more work to be done. We should always protect the sanctity of life, and a favorable ruling could give us the unique opportunity to do just that.

MEET SEAN SELBY DISTRICT 78 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CANIDATE

0
Sean Selby was raised in Southern Indiana and has lived in both counties that make up the 78th District, being the clear homegrown candidate option for Republican voters on the May 3 primary.

Selby comes from a predominantly medical family with patriotic tendencies, having been from a long line of physician ancestors prominently serving in the Civil War and World War II. He learned much in the way of these southwestern Indiana values from both his physician father who runs a medical practice in the district and his late grandpa who served in Gen. Patton’s 3rd Army before becoming a highly regarded surgeon in Vincennes.

Sean and his wife Dana have been married since 2009, having met as camp counselors in 2003 at Camp American, dedicated to civic education focusing on our Christian heritage in the United States.

A business owner for more than 20 years, Selby runs his self-built information technology consulting firm integriCORE that he started back while attending high school before the turn of the Millenium. He got his start by helping numerous teachers at Castle High School with their technology needs as widespread computer technology adoption was still in its infancy. He even purchased the original school domain name and was asked to co-coordinate the first-ever web team to build the website by his teacher Paul Gunn.

His advanced government teacher Stan Harris nominated Selby to represent the school for the Hoosier Boys State program organized by the American Legion and put on at Indiana State University. He served as the flag bearer of the group, having previously been the designated flag raiser at Sharon Elementary School by Principal Lee Raimey during more formative years. During high school, Selby participated in the Academic Honors program at Castle High School as well as We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution high school program. As a signal member of his group section, they were able to advance regionally, and statewide, and achieved 4th place in the nation for understanding our civic system as judged by prominent legal minds.

Sean Selby received a Bachelor of Science degree in 2005 from the University of Southern Indiana majoring in Business Administration with an emphasis in Computer Information Systems and a Minor in Political Science. A Dean’s List recipient in college, Selby was inducted into the Eagles Leaders program at the University of Southern Indiana upon entrance. While there, he started the USI College Republicans in 2001, serving two terms as Executive Chairman and being prized by the Student Government Association president as the “most active organization on campus”. In 2002, he was the only participant to receive a standing ovation from students for his words citing Martin Luther King, Jr. having been invited to co-panel a public conversation on ethnic issues with fellow campus group leaders and professors.

Sean Selby has a long-time commitment to the community with decades of participation with local organizations. This includes serving Restoring Our Heritage in various roles ranging from a board member, administration director, and fundraising booth chairman for the Fall Festival organized by the West Side Nut Club and Tri-Fest organized by the Lions Club.

Sean and his wife Dana attend Barnett Chapel located in Warrick County.

Police Stepping Up Patrols On April 7 To Help Curb Distracted Driving 

EVANSVILLE, IN — The Evansville Police Department is joining forces with law enforcement agencies across the country for a one-day targeted enforcement campaign to combat texting and other forms of distracted driving. On April 7, motorists can expect to see increased roving and high-visibility patrols with officers on high alert for hands-free violations. 

This is the second year of the Connect 2 Disconnect campaign, which is taking place during Distracted Driving Awareness Month and is designed to reduce traffic crashes and fatalities. According to the latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving claimed the lives of 3,142 people, or more than 8% of all traffic fatalities, in the U.S. in 2020. 

The extra enforcement is funded by NHTSA with grants administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. 

Distracted driving is considered any activity that diverts attention away from safely operating a vehicle. It can be visual, manual or cognitive and includes everything from eating to listening to loud music to more recent trends like “vlogging” or video blogging. 

While all forms are considered dangerous, texting continues to be the most prevalent, especially among millennials and Gen Z. Research from NHTSA shows that young drivers, ages 16 to 24, have been observed using handheld electronic devices while driving at higher rates than older drivers since 2007. 

“There’s a time and a place for everything, and when you’re driving isn’t the right time to be recording a video or taking a selfie,” said Devon McDonald, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Executive Director. “If your eyes are off the road, you’re putting yourself and others at risk. It’s like driving blindfolded.” 

Indiana took aim at distracted driving in 2020 when it passed the hands-free device driving law, which prohibits the use of holding a mobile device while driving. Since then, law enforcement agencies have been working overtime to educate motorists about the law, issuing more than 6,000 hands-free citations and almost twice as many warnings last year alone. 

“Distracted drivers are not only a risk to themselves, but they’re a danger to everyone on the road,” said Gov. Eric J. Holcomb. “Driving requires your full attention and should be your one and only focus behind the wheel. We can reduce so many senseless and preventable tragedies by simply putting down the phone while driving.” 

As part of the Connect 2 Disconnect campaign, the department is asking motorists to do their part by putting down the phone and driving distraction-free. Violators of the hands-free law could face a Class C infraction with fines up to $500 and have points added to their license.

20 Indiana Wood Manufacturers Recognized On ‘North America’s Largest’ List

0

INDIANA (April 6, 2022) — Twenty wood manufacturing firms from Indiana have been included on the 2022 FDMC 300 list, which ranks the largest cabinet, furniture, millwork, store fixture, office/contract, and component producers in North America.

“Indiana is proud to be ranked as a top producer for so many wood products and to supply a large number of Hoosiers with good-paying hardwood manufacturing jobs,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture. “Wood is a renewable resource and provides stability and quality to furniture like no other.”

Jasper-based MasterBrand Cabinets ranks No. 3 overall and is the largest on the list from Indiana. MasterBrand generated an estimated $2.825 billion in 2021 sales volume and employs 11,000 people. Its manufacturing operations span 16 plants across the United States and Mexico, totaling more than 6 million square feet to produce semi-custom and custom fully assembled kitchen and bath cabinets and more. 

“As a company, we’re dedicated to creating cabinets that help make homes beautiful, functional and unique, and our success is due our hardworking associates,” said David Banyard, president, MasterBrand Cabinets. “The roots of MasterBrand Cabinets can be traced back nearly 70 years to Celestine, Indiana, and while we’ve grown significantly since then, we’re proud to still call Indiana home.”

Companies on the list are ranked according to annual sales. Three other Indiana firms rank among the top 35 companies on the list: Kimball International Inc. lands at No. 21, OFS Brands Inc. holds spot No. 31 and Genesis Products is No. 34.

Jasper-based Kimball International Inc. makes office, hospitality furniture and cabinet products. In 2021, the company’s sales totaled an estimated $569 million. Kimball International Inc. operates 9 plants across the U.S. and Mexico and employs 2,800 people.

Huntingburg-based OFS Brands Inc. posted estimated sales of $375 million in 2021. OFS owns 10 U.S. manufacturing plants totaling 2 million square feet with 1,650 employees. The company makes contract/office furniture; desks, filing storage, conference tables, office chairs and office seating; and healthcare, education and hospitality furniture.

Goshen-based Genesis Products makes wood panels, wood interior products and other wood products for leading manufacturers in the RV, manufactured housing, hospitality and other industries. In 2021, the company’s sales totaled an estimated $346 million. Genesis Products operates 9 plants across the U.S. and employs 1,150 people.

While not headquartered in Indiana, five other top-25 firms on the list host at least one manufacturing plant in Indiana. Those are Cabinetworks Group; American Woodmark Corp.; Dorel Industries Inc.; Sauder Woodworking; and Quanex Homeshield.

“Having many Indiana headquartered companies on this list is something we are proud of. I also want to recognize the companies that are not based in Indiana, but have a manufacturing facility here. This goes to show that Indiana is a good place to do business and having these companies in Indiana increases the value of Indiana hardwoods,” said Bruce Kettler, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.

Indiana’s hardwood industry has an annual economic impact of more than $10 billion and supports 70,000 jobs. Indiana’s Hardwood Strategy aims to grow these numbers by promoting the expansion of current wood processing facilities, attracting new companies to the state, educating consumers and businesses on the sustainability of the hardwoods industry, and seeking opportunities to increase the value of Indiana’s hardwood products.

USI hits the road to play top-25 Prairie Stars​​​​​​​

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — University of Southern Indiana Baseball continues the 2022 GLVC schedule with its first league road trip Saturday and Sunday, visiting the #18 (NCBWA)/#28 (ABCA) University of Illinois Springfield for a four-game series. The series starts Saturday with a noon doubleheader and concludes Sunday with a noon twin bill.  
 
The series, which was originally slated for Friday through Sunday, was changed to Saturday/Sunday doubleheaders due to the Friday forecast of inclement weather.
 
Throughout the 2022 season, fans can follow the Screaming Eagles all season long on GoUSIEagles.com. Selected games can be heard on ESPN 97.7FM and 95.7FM The Spin, in addition to live stats, video streams, and audio broadcasts.
 
The Eagles will return to the friendly surroundings of the USI Baseball Field April 13 when they start a five-game home stand, beginning with a single game versus Oakland City (April 13) and ending with a four-game GLVC slate versus Truman State University (April 14-16).
 
USI Baseball Notes:

USI vs. Illinois Springfield: The Eagles hold a 23-15 all-time series lead over the Prairie Stars, despite dropping four of five last season (falling in three of four during the regular season; stumbling once in the GLVC Tournament).
 
Eagles in 2022: USI is .500 this spring, going 13-13 overall and 2-2 after the first weekend of the 2022 GLVC schedule. The squad was 2-3 last week after losing a non-conference match-up with Maryville University and going 2-2 in the first conference action of the year versus Quincy University. The Eagles have struggled of late, going 4-6 in the last 10 games, but are 5-3 versus ranked opponents this season.
 
Freshman catcher/designated hitter Cordell Coburn led the Eagles with a .357 batting average last week, while sophomore outfielder/designated hitter Gavin McLarty (Buckner, Kentucky) had a team-best seven RBIs, including a grand slam for his first hit of the year in the loss to Maryville.
 
Illinois Springfield in 2022: Nationally-ranked Illinois Springfield is 20-6 overall after sweeping a non-conference series with the University of Missouri-St. Louis last week. The Stars have won three of their last four but are 1-3 in the GLVC.
 
Predicted in the GLVC:  USI was predicted to place third in the GLVC Blue Division, while Illinois Springfield was forecast to win the Blue Division.             
 
Eagle Leaders: USI junior infielder/catcher Lucas McNew (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) leads the Eagles with a .363 batting average; 10 doubles; four home runs; and 33 RBIs. He also is third on the team with 20 runs scored. Senior shortstop Ethan Hunter (Terre Haute, Indiana) follows McNew with a .337 batting average, two home runs, and 20 RBIs.  
 
On the mound, senior right-hander Brice Stuteville (Rockport, Indiana) has a team-best four wins and is 4-1 overall. He also has a team-best 2.60 ERA (pitchers with 10 IP in 2022).  

Hunter all-time at USI: USI senior infielder Ethan Hunter continues to move up the all-time lists for USI. Hunter ranks first in triples (16); 11th total bases (321); 12th in RBIs (134) and tied for 13th in home runs (16); tied for eighth in runs scored (158); 13th in hits (211); and 21st in doubles (30).
 
McNew all-time at USI: Junior infielder/catcher Lucas McNew is starting his move up the all-time rankings at USI. He is tied for 19th in doubles (34); tied for 13th in home runs (16); and tied for 20th in RBIs (102).  
 
Archuleta at USI: USI Head Coach Tracy Archuleta is in his 16th season at the helm of the Screaming Eagles. He has a USI record of 519-298 during his 16 season and has a 19-year record of 667-422 (5 years University of Wisconsin-Parkside; 16 years USI).
