Holly’s House Announces Gift from Vanderburgh Community Foundation

0

 Holly’s House, a local child and adult victim advocacy center, announces the Vanderburgh Community Foundation has made a gift to Holly’s House in support of their “Think First & Stay Safe” elementary school child abuse prevention program. A check presentation will take place on June 21, 2019, 9:00 A.M.. at Holly’s House. During the event, representativesfrom the Vanderburgh Community Foundation and Holly’s House will be available for comments.

Implemented in 2010, the primary goal for the “Think First & Stay Safe” program is to improvestudent knowledge and skills relating to protecting their personal safety. Research into child abuse indicates that young people who are abused are much more likely to struggle with depression and anxiety, have poor academic performance, abuse drugs and alcohol, present behavioral problems, and even commit suicide. In addition, children who are abused are at greater risk of being either the aggressor or victim of violence as adults. Successful prevention and early identification of child abuse is one component of preparing young people for success.The “Think First & Stay Safe” program addresses these concerns by teaching children they have a right to be safe and developing common sense skills for self-protection. Through this program, children are advised how to seek help if they, or others they know, encounter unsafe situations or are being abused.

Many middle school and elementary school students in the Ivy Tech Community College Public Safety Academy will receive a new bicycle, helmet, and bicycle lock on Thursday, June 20, at 2 p.m. in Vectren Auditorium at Ivy Tech Community College Evansville Campus.

AG Curtis Hill: U.S. Supreme Court’s Decision In Virginia Case Involving Uranium Mining As A Win For Indiana

0

The U.S. Supreme Court rightly protected states’ sovereign powers by rejecting an energy company’s efforts to overturn a decades-old Virginia statute banning uranium mining, Attorney General Curtis Hill said today.

The Virginia legislature enacted a ban on uranium mining in 1982, and in 2015 Virginia Uranium Inc. sued to challenge the ban, claiming it violated the federal Atomic Energy Act.

The Atomic Energy Act does not give the federal government any authority over uranium mining, but Virginia Uranium tried to argue that it nevertheless displaces any state law motivated by safety concerns, even if the state law regulates an area not regulated by the federal government. The court rejected the company’s tortured interpretation of federal law, with Justice Neil Gorsuch pointing out in his lead opinion that “to accomplish all it  wants, Virginia Uranium would have to persuade us to read 13 words out of the statute and add 2 more . . . That may be a statute some would prefer, but it is not the statute we have.”

“The court wisely rejected the plaintiffs’ attempts to rewrite federal law,” Attorney General Hill said.

The ramifications of the court’s decision reach far beyond the arena of nuclear energy, he added.

“States have the authority to regulate any activity they choose unless Congress or the Constitution have specifically stated otherwise,” Attorney General Hill said. “If the court had accepted the plaintiffs’ arguments, then every state law — no matter its age or subject matter — could have been subjected to an intrusive inquiry into lawmakers’ motivations. Fortunately, the court took a stand for state sovereignty in this case.”

Last year, Attorney General Hill led a 10-state coalition in filing an amicus brief supporting the Commonwealth of Virginia in this case.

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB” JUNE 20, 2019

38

“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.
