“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB†JUNE 5, 2019
“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JABâ€
“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 JABâ€Â 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.

Holcomb Statement on Eva Kor
Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement regarding the passing of Eva Kor.
“The world just lost a giant with Eva Kor’s passing. Janet and I loved and adored her. Everywhere she went, Eva brought light into darkness and provided comfort to those in pain unlike anyone we’ve ever met. From her against all odds survival as a young girl in Auschwitz to her peace spreading message based from home in Terre Haute, Indiana, her relentless and optimistic example inspired the world. Her angelic spirit will live on in the countless souls she saved from ongoing confusion and torment. Janet and I are reminded just how blessed we are to have her as a friend. We will miss her laughter, her wisdom and her passion. We call on every Hoosier to look above on this Independence Day and say a prayer for Eva and the family and nation she leaves behind.â€
Â
Gov. Holcomb named Eva Kor the recipient of the 2017 Sachem, the state’s highest honor.
USI Volleyball adds Bastuba to coaching staff
“I’m elated to have Bryan on board,” Raff said. “Not only does Bryan exhibit the character and values we seek in the USI Volleyball family, he also comes highly recommended by well-respected members of the volleyball community. I feel confident Bryan will have an immediate and positive impact in our gym and around campus.”
Bastuba comes to USI after spending the previous two years as an assistant coach at the University of Northwestern Ohio (Lima), where he helped guide the team to a 48-25 record throughout his tenure.
At Northwestern Ohio, Bastuba aided in the Racers’ recruiting and budgetary efforts as well as game day and practice planning. His work helped the Racers to a 26-win season in 2018, the fourth most wins in program history.
Prior to Northwestern Ohio, Bastuba was an Assistant Coach for Urbana University (Ohio) during the 2015 and 2016 campaigns. He helped lead the Blue Knights to a 20-14 overall record in 2016 and a 10-6 mark in the Mountain East Conference. Urbana, which posted its first winning season in 2016 since it transitioned in the NCAA, finished second in the conference in hitting percentage and was in the top 25 in Division II in team kills.
In addition to his duties at Northwestern Ohio and Urbana, Bastuba has spent the previous seven years coaching the club level with Mintonette Sports, helping his athletes to college commitments across all three NCAA Divisions as well as NAIA and NJCAA.
“Bryan has a wealth of experience including assisting in training some of the top club prospects in the country at Mintonette Sports,” Raff explained. “I’m looking forward to adding his talent and work ethic to our already strong group.”
A native of Columbus, Ohio, Bastuba earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Ohio Dominican University in 2012. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a minor in Spanish.
