Say’s Firefly is closer to becoming the official state insect

0

INDIANAPOLIS ­– After four years, Cumberland Elementary students in West Lafayette have finally made progress in their quest to make Say’s Firefly Indiana’s official state insect.

Senate Bill 236, authored by Sen. Ron Alting, R-Lafayette, passed out of the Senate Tuesday by a unanimous vote. He said every member of the Public Policy Committee wanted to sign onto the bill after testimony was heard last week.

Kayla Xu, a fifth grader at Cumberland who began advocating for Say’s Firefly in second grade, is the truth author of the bill, Alting said.

Alting praised Xu and her classmates who testified last Wednesday, citing the detailed scientific research they shared.

“It was one of the heartwarming experiences that I have had in the Senate, and it’s one of these situations that you feel good about being a Hoosier and that you feel good about being an American simply because of the fact that this is our next generation,” he said.

Indiana is one of four states without a state insect. But the most important reason to pass the bill, Alting said, is to reassure the future generation of Hoosiers that the government is working for them.

Sen. Jim Tomes, R-Wadesville, also commended Xu for her presentation and went on to share what he learned about Thomas Say, whom the firefly is named after.

“I know that folks are hoping this might be something that turns into a tourist attraction,” he said of New Harmony, where Thomas Say is buried.

Sen. Mark Stoops, D-Bloomington, recalled moments of seeing fireflies first-hand both when he was a child and to this day, both of which left him in awe of the insects.

“I have never seen anything like it anywhere in the world,” Stoops said.

Alting said even if the bill doesn’t make it, the world will not end, but it has tremendous values.

The bill moves to the House.

House Passes Messer’s Effort to Prevent Taxpayer-Funded Sexual Harassment Payouts

0

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Tuesday that includes a provision Rep. Luke Messer (IN-06) fought for to ensure Members of Congress can’t use taxpayer dollars to settle sexual harassment claims.

The bill passed Tuesday prevents Members of Congress from using taxpayer money to settle sexual harassment claims in the future.

Messer authored legislation in November that would not only end the taxpayer-funded slush fund, but also require Members who used taxpayer dollars to settle previous claims to fully reimburse the U.S. Treasury out of their own pocket.

“It is completely unacceptable that members of Congress used taxpayer dollars to silence victims and settle sexual harassment claims,” Messer said. “Stopping this slush fund is a step in the right direction, but more should be done. My legislation would also release victims from non-disclosure agreements that prevent them from coming forward and telling their stories.”

Messer’s bill, the Empowering Victims of Sexual Misconduct Act, would also release victims from current non-disclosure agreements and would prohibit similar agreements from being used in Congress again.

Ivy Tech’s Kindness Campaign Begins

0

Ivy Tech Community College Evansville is kicking off its first-ever Kindness Campaign today (Feb. 7).  Amy Lutzel, Ivy Tech wellness and fitness coordinator, says “In a world where stress, violence, and intense competition cause us to feel disconnected, acts of kindness can bring us together as we find fulfillment and joy in thinking about and doing something nice for others and for ourselves.

“All human beings need affection to thrive and even small acts of kindness can touch someone deeply and make their day,” she continued. The events will take place in Ivy Tech’s Koch Student Center located at 3501 N First Ave.

Schedule of Events:

Random Acts of Kindness Kick Off Event 
Wednesday, February 7, 11:00 a.m.—1:00 p.m.

Koch Student Center

  • Pick up a “Be Kind” button to wear all month long
    and receive a Kindness Coupon or two to perform Random Acts of Kindness.
  • Receive a flyer on “Kindness Health Facts” and what other countries around the world are doing to practice kindness.

Random Acts of Kindness Week 
February 12—16

  • Be on the look-out for kind messages placed around campus and plan to perform several Random Acts of Kindness for others and for yourself.
  • Write down your Random Act of Kindness on a banner for all to see.
  • Change your profile pic on social media to the heart-shaped “Be Kind” logo.
  • Use the #ivykind hashtag on social media posts.

Kindness Rocks

February 14, 11:00 a.m.—1:00 p.m.

Koch Student Center

  • Write a Kindness Note to give to someone and paint a Kindness Rock to place somewhere for someone else to find.
  • Receive a free Hug and a Kiss (Hershey’s chocolate that is)!

 

The Ivy Tech Wellness and Fitness Center, Student Life, and the Counseling Center are collaborating on this project.  Lutzel explained that studies have shown that the positive effects of kindness are experienced in the brain of everyone who witnessed the act, improving their mood and making them significantly more likely to “pay it forward.”

This means one good deed in a crowded area can create a domino effect and improve the day of dozens of people. Lutzel added, “Just think how much more productive we would be if we could practice kindness to everyone every day. We would have more energy, better relationships, be less depressed, and be generally happy. Our hope is that more companies and organizations will follow suit.”
