0

Indiana University sophomore diver Andrew Capobianco was named to the 2019 Google Cloud Academic All-America Division I Men’s At-Large Third-Team on Friday, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of American (CoSIDA).

The at-large teams for the Google Cloud Academic All-America program include the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming & diving, tennis and water polo for both men and women, as well as beach volleyball, bowling, field hockey and rowing for women, and volleyball and wrestling for men.

Capobianco, an Exercise Science major, was a CSCAA Scholar All-American in 2018 and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors this past season for the Hoosiers.

The 2019 Big Ten Diver of the Year, Capobianco won the program’s first NCAA Championship in the 3-meter dive in 38 years in March, taking the gold with a total score of 461.65. The performance gave Capobianco a fourth All-America honor for his career.
At the Big Ten Championships, he earned Second-Team All-Big Ten honors after winning silver in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives. Capobianco also took fourth overall at Big Ten’s in the platform dive.

This summer, Capobianco will represent the USA in a pair of high-profile international competitions – the 2019 FINA World Championships in South Korea and the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru.

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB” JUNE 23, 2019

6

“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.

Gov. Holcomb meets with agriculture leaders regarding delayed planting season

0

Gov. Eric J. Holcomb convened leaders from the state’s agriculture sectors on Thursday to receive an update on unprecedented weather conditions that have impacted farms and other agriculture businesses statewide. As of this week, only 84 percent of Indiana’s corn crop and 64 percent of soybeans have been planted, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). That is an increase from the start of month, but both crops are usually at 100 percent planted for this time of year.

Representatives from Indiana Corn & Soybean, the Indiana Farm Service Agency, Agribusiness Council of Indiana, Indiana Pork, Purdue College of Agriculture and others joined Gov. Holcomb for the meeting.

“The unprecedented weather and extreme field conditions have put Indiana farmers in a very trying situation,” Gov. Holcomb said. “The relentless rainfall has prevented many acres from being planted and in some cases farmers have not been able to plant at all. This not only affects crop producers but those involved in animal production and the businesses that supply them.”

According to USDA, there have only been 27 days suitable for fieldwork in Indiana since late March. That’s 20 days less when compared to the same timeframe in 2018. Heavy, consistent rainfall has saturated fields across the state. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data shows that the past 12 months have been the wettest on record in the U.S.

The Governor is working with Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler and his staff, and the Indiana Farm Service Agency, to pursue options for agriculture assistance for Indiana farmers. That will include decisions about proceeding with requests for federal assistance as assessments are completed at the county level.

“It’s been an extremely difficult year for farmers in Indiana,” Director Kettler said. “That’s why we’re working to ensure we’re providing all available options.”

The Farm Service Agency needs an accurate account of the fields impacted by the storms in Indiana to determine if a request can be made to USDA. Farmers are encouraged to contact their local Farm Service Agency office and report their planted acres as soon as possible but no later than July 15.

AG Curtis Hill looks forward to July 11 oral argument in South Bend abortion case

0

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on Friday scheduled oral argument for July 11 to hear the State of Indiana’s case for granting an immediate stay that would stop the operation of an unlicensed abortion clinic in South Bend until the appeal can be fully resolved.

On May 31, a federal district court granted a preliminary injunction allowing the Whole Woman’s Health Alliance to provide chemical abortions despite lacking the required license from the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). In chemical abortions, one type of medication is used to kill the fetus followed by another medication to induce the woman to expel it.

“The Court of Appeals’ decision to schedule oral argument shows that it is taking seriously our concerns about the safety of patients who seek abortion at an unlicensed clinic,” Attorney General Curtis Hill said. “Dispensing medication that curbs progesterone and causes uterine contractions is serious business, and whether states may require licensing of clinics that do so is a nationally important issue. We appreciate the court’s diligence in reviewing this matter.”

On June 2, Attorney General Hill appealed the injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He also filed a motion with the district court seeking an immediate stay that would have prevented the unlicensed clinic from opening until Indiana’s appeal could be considered.

On June 7, the federal district court denied the motion for a stay – prompting Attorney General Hill on June 10 to seek the intervention of the U.S. Court of Appeals in issuing a stay.

The ISDH previously has denied Whole Woman’s Health a license after the entity failed to provide requested documentation about the safety record of affiliated clinics in other states.
