COMPLIMENTARY OBITUARIES NOW IN CITY-COUNTY OBSERVER
As you might have already noticed, the City-County Observer has made a serious effort in 2019 to provide complimentary obituaries to our readers. We feel it is our duty to honor the memory of the deceased and relay this information to the community without charging any fees. Â We are pleased that we are in a position to help grieving family members during their time of need by publishing the obituaries of their loved ones at no costs.
With that being said, we would like to take a moment to thank the following local funeral homes that have helped make our vision possible:
Alexander Funeral Homes (Evansville And Newburgh)

Koehler Funeral Home (Boonville And Chandler)

We look forward to adding one more funeral home in one obituary section in the near future. If you or anyone you know has influence with Browning FUNERAL Home we encourage you to ask them to contact the City-County Observer so we can discuss with them about putting their complimentary obituaries in our paper.
AG Curtis Hill Defends Common-Sense Health And Safety Regulations Involving Abortion
Attorney General Curtis Hill this week filed court documents defending the constitutionality of two common-sense regulations designed to protect the health and safety of women seeking abortions.
One of two challenged statutes requires physicians, hospitals and abortion clinics to report instances of abortion complications. Under the statute, the Indiana State Department of Health would compile this data into a report on the frequency of 25 specific complications after abortion. The availability of such information would aid the research of women considering abortions and others who study the abortion procedure.
The second challenged statute requires the Indiana State Department of Health to inspect abortion clinics annually to ensure compliance with applicable health and safety regulations.
“The state has a clear interest in protecting women’s health and safety,†Attorney General Hill said. “These laws are reasonable and constitutional means toward achieving this goal.â€
ADOPT A PET
Bonded pair of rabbits! Rabbert is a Flemish Giant mix, and Fatina is an American/Chinchilla mix. They are bonded and must go home together, so the adoption fee is $100 for both. (Neutered/spayed and microchipped.) Rabbert in particular is a big dude, so they’ll need ample space to hop around & play in their new indoor home. And their nighttime cage will need to be substantial size. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 or visit www.vhslifesaver.org to adopt!
