“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB” APRIL 20, 2019

24

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB”

“RIGHT Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have two (2) commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.  Recently several of our commenters complained that the posts made by Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan are either too lengthy or off-topic.
Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan comments are mostly about issues of National interest.  Most 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 will be given exclusively to discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
If they decide to make any future posts on the “Readers Forum” or “IS IT TRUE” columns we expect them to stay on topic.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” twice a week.  Oh, “Left Jab” is the liberal view and the “Right Jab is representative of the more conservative view. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments of the two gentlemen is free to do so.
Any comments posted in “RIGHT JAB AND “LEFT JAB” column do not represent the views or opinions of the City-County Observer, our advertisers, our readers.

AG Curtis Hill hosts inaugural Youth Prevention Summit  

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today hosted the inaugural Youth Prevention Summit with a focus on prescription drug abuse. This event was designed to encourage students to use good judgment and skills learned through the Prescription Drug Safety digital course to make a difference in their schools and communities.

“Students from across the state are becoming more active in the fight against drug abuse,” said Attorney General Hill. “These young people are educated and engaged. They inspire all of us with their readiness to effect positive change.”

The Office of the Attorney General is a partner in the Prescription Drug Safety Network, a coalition dedicated to empowering Americans with the knowledge and skills necessary to make safe and healthy decisions about prescription medications. The Office of the Attorney General – along with Walmart and North Central Health Services — have provided funding to bring a digital education program to high schools in several regions of the state. The Prescription Drug Safety course, a digital interactive experience developed by EVERFI, is used in schools nationwide.

“The health and safety of our patients is a critical priority, and Walmart is committed to be part of the solution to the nation’s opioid epidemic,” said Gordi Lee, Walmart Health & Wellness Director. “We believe education on prescription drug abuse is a key part of the solution, and we are proud to support this program that teaches Hoosier students about the dangers of prescription drug abuse.”

The course is aligned with national health education standards and the recently updated Indiana Academic Standards for Health and Wellness. It uses an evidence-based approach to equip students with the tools they need to make informed decisions about prescription drugs. Through interactive scenarios and self-guided activities, students learn facts about drugs, how to properly use and dispose of them, and how to respond when faced with a situation involving drug abuse.

The Indiana Department of Education was represented at today’s summit by Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick.

“The Department stands ready to support state efforts to address the opioid crisis impacting our students and their families,” Superintendent McCormick said. “We appreciate being part of this process and acknowledge the importance of thoughtful solutions.”

Today’s event also included remarks by Addiction Specialist Brandon George, who is himself in long-term recovery.

The summit, attended by students who have taken the course, provided young people the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities and discussions focused on drug disposal and storage; prescription drug myths and facts; and youth advocacy. The event concluded with a private tour of the Statehouse.

Crouch announces 2019 Stellar Communities Program finalists

0

Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch announced the finalists for the 2019 Stellar Communities Program.

After a thorough review of the letters of intent by the Stellar partner agencies, the following regions have been chosen as finalists:

  • Constellation of Starke, which consists of Hamlet, Knox, North Judson and Starke County;
  • Jay! Region, which is comprised of the Dunkirk, Portland, Pennville, Redkey and Jay County;
  • Marshall County Crossroads, which consists of Argos, Bourbon, Bremen, Culver, Plymouth and Marshall County; and
  • Safe and Welcome, which is comprised of Knightstown, New Castle and Henry County.

“Rural Indiana is comprised of so many burgeoning communities, and through this program they can really enhance the quality of life for the Hoosiers who call it home,” Crouch said. “During my travels of the state, it is truly incredible to see what some of the previous designees have done with the investments from the state. I am excited to see what the four regions that were selected unveil during this planning process.”

Launched in 2011, the Stellar Communities Program is a multi-year, multi-million dollar investment initiative led by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, which is overseen by Crouch. The program works with self-selected regions on their vision for community and economic development, promotes local and regional partnerships and assists in implementing innovative solutions to challenges facing Indiana’s rural communities.

“To see so many communities recognize the need to work together and take advantage of the Stellar Program is exciting,” said Jodi Golden, Executive Director of the Office of Community and Rural Affairs. “We are thrilled to see how the finalists come together and continue to work collaboratively on their Stellar Regional Development Plans.”

Finalist regions will receive a planning grant and will begin working with Ball State University’s Indiana Communities Institute to discuss project alignment and continued planning efforts. The 2019 Stellar Communities Program designation will be announced on December 5, 2019.

Through the annual designation, the Stellar Communities Program provides resources for transformative quality of place community improvements by utilizing previous planning efforts, leveraging existing assets, fostering regional investments and stimulating continued growth.

Senator Braun Statement on Mueller Report

0

JASPER, IN – U.S. Senator Mike Braun released the following statement regarding the Department of Justice’s decision to release the Mueller report:

Attorney General Barr kept his promise and provided as much transparency on the Mueller report as was consistent with the law, which I strongly supported. Indeed, the report is unprecedented in its level of transparency. 

President Trump provided unfettered access to his campaign’s records and his personnel to clear his name and now the American people deserve to know how this groundless investigation into the Trump campaign was launched in the first place. 

Now that the report is public, it is clear there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign and that President Trump did not engage in obstruction of justice. It’s time for the country to move forward and focus on real issues like delivering solutions to lower the cost of healthcare and keeping our red hot economy roaring.

He is survived by his son, Rhys Houston Poe Davis; father, James Warren Poe; mother, Zola Poe; sister and brother-in-law, Shantell and Ricky Farrow; sister and brother-in-law, Leslie and Matt Scott; sister, Jamie Faith; sister and brother-in-law, Marcie and Marcus Armes; sister and brother-in-law, Jennifer and James Mullins; sister and significant other, Jackie Poe and David Briscoe; brother and significant other, Justin Poe and Emilie Ables; sister, Isabella Poe; and numerous nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, and countless friends.

Services will be held Saturday, April 20, 2019, at 12:00 pm at Mason & Sons Funeral Home located at 409 E. Noel Avenue, Madisonville KY 42431. Visitation will be from 10:00 am until service time.
