Adopt A Pet

Bright Eyes (and her brother Bushy Tail) is one of many rabbits up for adoption at the VHS! She is a 4-month-old female. They were part of an unwanted litter from pet store bunnies who were supposed to be the same sex – oops! (This happens a lot.) The siblings spent a few weeks in foster care when they were tiny, and now they’re ready for indoor forever homes with lots of timothy hay & fresh veggies daily! Bright Eyes’ $40 adoption fee includes her spay and registered microchip.

AG Curtis Hill writes op-ed calling for tougher penalties on hateful conduct following incident at Carmel synagogue

1

Attorney General Curtis Hill today renewed his call for legislation establishing steeper penalties associated with crimes motivated by a desire to intimidate or terrorize. Following a weekend incident in which vandals sprayed graffiti on a wall outside a Carmel synagogue, Attorney General penned a fresh op-ed.

In the op-ed, Attorney General Hill advocates legislation “that would significantly increase penalties for a broad range of offenses when perpetrators are shown to have acted ‘with the intent to intimidate or terrorize another person.’ . . . For misdemeanors and low-level felonies, sentencing would include an additional two to six years. For higher-level felonies, sentencing would increase by six to 20 years.”

The full op-ed – available to any media outlet desiring to publish it – is attached below. As a courtesy, please email Deputy Communications Director Bill McCleery at bill.mccleery@atg.in.gov if you intend to publish this piece.

AG Hill defends ACA lawsuit despite demands for withdrawal

0

KATIE STANCOMBE FOR WWW.THEINDIANALAWYER.COM

Despite demands for Indiana to be withdrawn from a federal lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act, Attorney General Curtis Hill said he will continue to lead Indiana’s opposition to the “unconstitutional” law.

A coalition of eight health care groups from across the state delivered letters and a signed petition to Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill’s office on Friday, urging him to withdraw from the 20-state lawsuit filed earlier this year.

The federal lawsuit, Texas v. HHS, takes specific aim at the ACA’s individual mandate, which was upheld in NFIB v. Sebelius, 567 U.S. 519 (2012) as a permissible tax. The tax has since been repealed, but the controversial individual mandate remains in place.

The Hoosiers who opposed Indiana’s involvement with the lawsuit said the litigation puts the almost 3 million Hoosiers with pre-existing conditions at risk. Under the ACA, insurance companies are unable to deny or drop coverage due to such conditions, including asthma, diabetes and cancer.

In response to opposition, Hill said “the foundation on which the Supreme Court built its justification for Obamacare’s constitutionality ceased to exist” when Congress repealed the individual mandate tax.

“I hope to see the emergence of sound policies that constitutionally safeguard the healthcare needs of all Americans, including those with pre-existing conditions,” Hill said in a Friday statement. “I support efforts to this end by Governor Holcomb and the General Assembly here in Indiana, and I support such efforts by Congress and the Trump administration on the national level.”

University of Evansville to Dedicate Interfaith Peace Bell

0

The University of Evansville will dedicate its new Interfaith Peace Bell on Thursday, August 9 at 3:00 p.m. between Ridgway University Center and the Bower-SuhrheinrichLibrary. Evansville’s interfaith community will participate in the event, which is open to the public.

UE’s International Peace Pole will also be rededicated at its new location near the west side of Memorial Plaza. The peace pole was originally dedicated to the University of Evansville by the International Students Club in 2002.

With the installation of the Interfaith Peace Bell, the University has created a new focal point on campus dedicated to peace and reconciliation.

“The bell is a symbol of the University’s commitment to making the world a morepeaceful, understanding, and compassionate place,” explained Tammy Gieselman,University Chaplain. “It will ring to commemorate significant campus and community events and will symbolize harmony and goodwill at UE. The Peace Bell will be a constant reminder for us to work for peace together, as a campus community.”

The bell was cast at the White Chapel Bell Foundry in London, England. An appropriate choice as the University of Evansville’s Harlaxton College is located in Grantham, England.

“UE’s Interfaith Peace Bell will also serve as a visual and aural symbol of the University’s strong connection with England and our beloved Harlaxton College,” notedGieselman.

UE’s Interfaith Peace Bell is a copper and tin cast, 241⁄4” diameter bell and weighs 322pounds. It is accurately and harmonically tuned on the five-tone principal to note F. Its deadstock is made from Iroko, a large hardwood from the west coast of tropical Africa.One side of the bell is inscribed “Yearn for Peace,” and the other side reads “Work for Peace.” The bell’s pedestal is made of solid granite, weighing 8,247 pounds and is modeled after UE’s Olmsted Administration Hall bell tower.

UE’s Peace Bell was one of the last bells to be cast at the historic White Chapel Bell Foundry before it closed permanently in May 2017. It was Britain’s oldest manufacturing company, stretching back to 1570. It was responsible for many acclaimed bellsworldwide, including London’s Big Ben, Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell, and bells for theNational Cathedral in Washington, DC. The foundry also made a tribute bell one year after 9/11, the Bell of Hope, as a gift from the people of London to the people of New York City.

On February 24, 2017, a casting ceremony for UE’s bell was carried out at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Witnessing this ceremony were Harlaxton College principal Gerald Seaman and spouse, Patricia Vilches; Ian Welsh, vice principal for business and technology, Harlaxton College; Megan Janasiewicz, director of student development, Harlaxton College; Harlaxton students Rebecca Clark, Ahmad Ismaiel, and Sara Cannaday; and Tamara Gieselman, University Chaplain.

The following Monday, February 27, the bell was consecrated by the interfaith community in London. Those who participated were Katherine Baxter, Wesley’s Chapel;David Chapman, West London Synagogue; Gieselman; John Heyderman, Beit Klal Yisrael; Ishaque Uddin, East London Mosque; and Aslam Uddin, East London Mosque.
