The Week in Indiana History

Moon headline

1969     50 years ago, this headline from theSouth Bend Tribune said it all as the whole world watched the progress of the Apollo 11 mission.  Purdue University graduate Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the surface of the moon.  He was 239,000 miles from home when he stepped from the lunar module Eagle and said, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

1906     Gary, Indiana, was incorporated by the United States Steel Corporation.  It was named for the company’s founder, Judge Elbert Henry Gary.  The new city grew quickly and within 20 years was one of the largest in the state.

Red Skelton

1913     Comedian Red Skelton was born in Vincennes.  Starting as a circus clown, he became famous in vaudeville, movies, radio, and television.  Today he is honored by a museum in his hometown which includes a fully-interactive exhibit entitled “Red Skelton:  A Legacy of Laughter.”

1926     Dedication ceremonies were held near Angola for land that would become Indiana’s fifth state park.  Originally called Lake James Park, the name was changed to Pokagon to reflect the area’s Native American heritage and Potawatomi leaders Leopold and Simon Pokagon.  Among those at the ceremony were Governor Ed Jackson and former Governor James Goodrich.

State Police

1935     The first Indiana State PoliceAcademy was held at the State Fairgrounds.  The recruits slept on army cots on the second floor of the horse barn and took their meals at the State Fair Hotel near Gate 6.  The rigorous five-week training program produced the first class of formally-trained state troopers.
RCA TV1950     Sales of television sets were expected to rise in Indianapolis as WFBM announced plans to carry network programs.  Viewers could look forward to seeing the World Series and popular shows featuring Arthur Godfrey, Jack Benny, and Hopalong Cassidy.  Most of the RCA receivers were built in factories in Indianapolis, Bloomington, and Marion.  In today’s dollars, the price of the model pictured here would be over $4,000.

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB” JULY 13, 2019

13

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB”

“Right Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have two commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan’s comments are mostly about issues of national interest.  The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give Mr. Biden and Mr. Reagan exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “Left Jab” is a liberal view and the “Right Jab is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments of the two gentlemen is free to do so.

FOOTNOTE: Any comments posted in this column do not represent the views or opinions of the City-County Observer or our advertisers.

EPA Celebrates 500th Tribal Consultation

0

At the National Tribal Caucus Executive Committee meeting, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced that the agency recently completed it 500th tribal consultation under its Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes (2011).

“Today, we recognize EPA’s 500th tribal consultation, which reflects our history of meaningful engagement between EPA and Tribal Governments,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “This milestone demonstrates the importance of EPA’s relationship with Tribal Governments and reflects our commitment to strengthen environmental protections in tribal lands so all Americans, regardless of where they live, have access to clean air, water, and land.”

EPA’s consultation policy builds on the agency’s groundbreaking Policy for the Administration of Environmental Programs on Indian Reservations (1984) to identify opportunities for engaging and consulting with tribes. EPA consults with tribes on a wide-range of activities including: rules, permits, policies, and other decisions that may affect tribal interests. This milestone was an agency-wide effort achieved over the past eight years.

EPA defines consultation as the process of meaningful communication and coordination between EPA and tribal officials prior to EPA taking action or implementing decisions that may affect tribes.

EPA developed the Tribal Consultation Opportunities Tracking System (TCOTS) in conjunction with the policy to ensure that all related information for each consultation is available to tribes in a timely manner prior to the consultation. This information includes the scope of the consultation, start and end dates, and an individual contact within EPA. This one-stop shop for EPA tribal consultation opportunities and information greatly facilitates the consultation process and its ultimate effectiveness for both EPA and the tribes.

In addition to tribal consultation under the EPA Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes, EPA maintains frequent and regular communications and coordination activities with tribes to identify and implement human health and environmental protection solutions.
