Todd Rokita and 17-State Coalition Receives Apology From National School Board Group

0

AG Rokita Calls For Further Action By Local School Boards And Sheriffs’ Offices

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita today commended a national school board group for backing down from inflammatory language it used to prod the Biden administration into threatening parents’ First Amendment rights.

Pledging to continue the fight against the Biden administration’s intimidation tactics, Attorney General Rokita — who organized a 17-state coalition of similarly concerned colleagues — said an apology from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) shows that taking a strong stand for liberty produces real results.

He thanked the 16 other state attorneys general for their involvement in the cause.

“We are shining a light on injustices perpetrated against parents of schoolchildren, and it’s making a real difference,” Attorney General Rokita said. “We will continue to defend the rights of parents to stay closely involved with their children’s education and speak their minds to public school officials.”

On Oct. 18, Attorney General Rokita composed and sent a letter — also signed by the 16 other state attorneys general — to President Joe Biden and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. The letter demanded that the Biden administration cease making threats against parents such as those contained in an Oct. 4 memo from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which called for the FBI and other law enforcement to keep a close eye on parents nationwide to address supposed “threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”

The DOJ memo echoed an NSBA letter sent Sept. 29 to the Biden administration lamenting the rise of parents pushing back against divisive ideologies, including critical race theory (CRT). The NSBA letter raised the specter of local protests rising to the level of “domestic terrorism.”

Just four days after Attorney General Rokita and the other attorneys general issued their demands, NSBA leaders confessed in a memo to its members that there was “no justification” for the organization’s incendiary language.

But, Attorney General Rokita noted, the Biden administration still has not apologized for its own threats against parents.

“Most Hoosier educators are no doubt as appalled as anyone by Joe Biden’s anti-parent bias,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Now is a time for Hoosiers to unite.”

Local community leaders can promote such unity, he added.

“Indiana school boards, as well as the Indiana Department of Education, should denounce the DOJ memo,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Sheriffs’ departments and other police agencies should consider declining any DOJ meetings aimed at repressing parental participation. And everyone involved should work together to facilitate free speech by protecting all participants at school board meetings.”

Further, both the NSBA and the Biden administration must take steps to correct their mistakes, Attorney General Rokita said.

“Parents don’t just have ‘a’ role in their children’s education,” he said. “They have the first and primary role. To properly serve our communities, leaders at all levels of government must recognize this basic truth. My own office will be taking further actions to this end.”

Evansville’s Annual Fall Leaf Pickup Starts November 1, Ends December 14, 2021

 Evansville’s Annual Fall Leaf Pickup Starts November 1, Ends December 14, 2021

                                                                                                                                         EVANSVILLE, IND. – Starting November 1 and continuing through December 14, 2021, Evansville residents who pay for trash service with their monthly Evansville Water and Sewer Utility bill can participate in the annual Fall Leaf Collection Program. During this period, eligible residents can place properly bagged leaves next to the curb for pickup by Republic Services on their regular trash collection day.

How it works

  • Leaves must be contained in biodegradable plastic or paper leaf bags or in containers.
  • Bags must be in manageable, organized piles and placed curbside near the trash and recycling carts.
  • Bags and containers should be at the pickup location before 6 a.m. on the day of your normal trash collection.
  • Bags should be placed at the pickup location on your normal day of trash collection, not days in advance.

Leaves not in biodegradable bags or that do not meet these requirements will not be picked up. If leaves are not in biodegradable bags, residents will be notified and asked to re-bag leaves properly for pick-up the following week. If residents feel they have complied with the requirements but their leaves were not picked up, they should call Republic Services at 812-424-3345 within two days after their regular trash collection day.

Who is not eligible

Apartment complexes, mobile home communities, business and commercial customers, and Utility customers who live outside the City of Evansville are not eligible. The service is for City residents only who pay for trash and recycling service with their monthly water and sewer bill.

Heavy Trash

Heavy trash pickups will not be scheduled during the Fall Leaf Collection Program. Heavy trash pickups will resume on Wednesday, December 15, 2021.

Earthquakes: A Thing Hoosiers Should Worry About

Earthquakes: A Thing Hoosiers Should Worry About 

Are you prepared for when nature strikes? Indiana faces many weather threats, but we’re here to say you might need to prepare for more than just tornadoes.

There’s also an underground threat we Hoosiers need to be prepared for: earthquakes.

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s most recent attempt to spread the word was by enlisting K-12 students in their education campaign. Orleans (Indiana) Elementary School won the Get ShakIN’ video contest focused on earthquake preparedness and safety for the North American Great ShakeOut Day on Oct. 21. The first prize was a seismograph for science-based learning activities.

“I was so excited to see the wide range of video entries,” said Mary Moran, IDHS director of emergency management, in a press release. “All of them captured critical earthquake safety information.”

Here’s what the kids learned, in case you also need to know: Indiana sits on two major seismic zones, the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, which runs through southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana, and the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which runs from the Mississippi River all the way up to southern Indiana. The last activity felt from these zones was recorded on June 17, a 3.8 magnitude quake with an epicenter in Montezuma, Indiana.

“It might feel like a strong jolt and things might shake a little,” John Bellini of the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado, told the Indianapolis Star afterward. “But we don’t expect damage until we’re near the mid-4 level.”

That kind of earthquake, according to IDHS, could be in Indiana’s near future—so best to figure out what to do now.

“Hoosiers can be better prepared for earthquakes by taking some simple precautions to protect themselves and their property,” Anna Shei, IDHS communications manager, said in an email to TheStatehouseFile.com, “including creating disaster kits and a list of emergency phone numbers; designating a meeting place away from home and collapsible structures; practicing Drop, Cover and Hold On drills; and making sure heavy furniture is secured in a home.

“Every member of the household should understand what to do during and after an earthquake event, even young children.”

Here are other ways to stay safe:

  • Finding yourself inside during an earthquake, hide under strong furniture and grab hold; this will help protect you from falling objects. Cover your head and neck with your arms. Do not go outside, to avoid being hit by falling objects.

  • If you are outside, stay away from power lines, tall buildings and anything else that is in danger of falling.

  • If you are driving or in a moving vehicle, drive slowly and get away from objects that are above your car.

  • If you are in bed, stay and cover your head with a pillow, and move away from objects that are above you.

  • Do not get into an elevator as they might shut down during the earthquake.

  • Stay calm and do not become overly anxious as this could make it harder to concentrate on finding a safe space.

 SCOOBY-DOO! AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD  IS COMING TO THE VICTORY THEATRE 

0

 Monlove, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, has announced the new dates for Scooby-Doo! and The Lost City of Gold, a touring live musical stage spectacular created by Ella Louise Allaire & Martin Lord Ferguson that will include Evansville on February 11, 2022. One of the most beloved international franchises of all time, Scooby-Doo and his meddling, mystery-solving friends will embark on a new adventure to solve a brand new mystery brought to life with cutting-edge technology, original music, puppetry, magic, singing, dance, interactive video, aerial arts, acrobatics, and video mapping. 

In Scooby-Doo! and The Lost City of Gold, fans of music, discovery, and gh-gh-ghosts! won’t need a passport to travel with Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, and Velma to Alta Luz, a fictitious South American town where ghostly sightings of La Dama de Oro (The Lady In Gold) threaten to scare attendees away from the annual music festival and Incan sun god celebration. 

Monlove’s Scooby is a 6’4 animatronic & puppeteer-operated Great Dane created by 12 designers over 1,600 hours – Billboard Magazine’s First Look. 

Through dialogue, dance, song, and amazing landscapes, audiences will join the journey as the Gang takes the Mystery Machine on its first flight to a land of ancient civilizations, legends, and culture. As they sniff for clues (and snacks), a trail of extinct purple irises leads them through a veritable Nazca lines labyrinth of mystery as the Gang meets friends…or foes?…Miguel the Victory Theatre. 600 Main St. Evansville, IN 47708. Office: (812) 422-8000

Cardona Wins Third Consecutive MVC Freshman Award

0

Rosario, an Argentina native had 17 kills and 7 aces against ISU

 SAINT LOUIS – For the third time in as many weeks, the University of Evansville’s Giulia Cardona has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week.

While the University of Evansville played just one match this week, Cardona continued to rack up some of the top numbers in the nation, accumulating a mind boggling 24.0 points in a 3-set win over Indiana State on Saturday.  In the win over the Sycamores, Cardona recorded 17 kills, 7 service aces and 4 digs.  Cardona’s 17 kills came in 32 attempts with her hitting .375 in the contest.

Her 7 aces was a career-high and marked the most in a match for Evansville since 2006.  She was the first MVC player to have 7 aces in a match since 2019 (Carly Nicholson – Illinois State – vs. Little Rock – 9/6/19) and the first to do so versus an MVC opponent since 2009 (Chelsea Lauersdorf – Drake – vs. Indiana State – 10/23/09).  Even more impressive – she was the first in the Valley to have 7 aces against a league foe in three sets since Nov. 3, 2007 (Jennifer Berwanger – SIU – at Drake).  Cardona is 16th in the NCAA in aces and second among freshmen.

Cardona becomes the first to win three freshman awards in a row since Illinois State’s Stef Jankiewicz did so in 2017.

A huge 3-match home stretch is up next for Evansville starting on Friday with a 6 p.m. contest against Valparaiso.  UE welcomes MVC leader Loyola on Saturday at 4 p.m. before hosting Southern Illinois at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 1.

Deer season with archery season began Oct.1 and will go until Jan.2. Deer season with firearms begins Nov. 13 and goes until Nov. 28.

Turkey’s archery season began Oct.1 and will go until Oct. 31. It will resume on Dec.4, and go until Jan.2. Hunting with firearms will begin Oct. 20 and go until Oct. 31.

Red & Gray Fox hunting season is from Oct. 15 to Feb. 28. Trapping season is from Oct. 15 to Jan. 31.

Why are some seasons longer than others?

Hunting seasons are determined by the population of whatever game is being hunted, according to Anthony Barenie, R3 manager with Indiana DNR-Division of Fish and Wildlife. This is why certain equipment is permitted for different lengths of time during season.

“The firearms season is much shorter because they want to make sure they’re effectively and appropriately managing the population,” he said.

How can someone get a license to hunt?

Indiana residents can buy a license online following this link. They can also purchase one in person from some retailers, county clerks, and DNR properties. Or, there is an option by mail.

Anyone born after Dec.31, 1986, is also required to complete a DNR-offered hunter education class in order to purchase a license.

“These are also really important just for somebody to make sure that they have the necessary knowledge to safely handle firearms and archery equipment, and to understand how to move safely if you’re going to be in a field or in the woods,” Barnie said.

Is there a limit on how many animals you can kill? Who keeps track of this?

Yes. There is a harvesting limit depending on what game you are hunting and what you are hunting with. Those details are in the Indiana Hunting and Trapping Guide. Hunters are required to register their kill with the DNR 48 hours after with deer and turkey. Conservation officers are often in the field checking people’s licenses.
