Governor gives stores 60 days to pull marijuana-derived oil

0

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb is directing state excise police to resume checking stores for marijuana-derived oils after the state’s attorney general declared them illegal with one limited exception.

Holcomb said in a statement Tuesday that excise police will “perform normal, periodic regulatory spot checks” of cannabidiol, or CBD, products. He says those checks will focus on products that contain THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana.

The Indianapolis Star reported stores have 60 days to pull the products from their shelves.

The recent opinion from Attorney General Curtis Hill states that substances containing CBD are illegal to possess, make and sell in Indiana under state and federal law. The opinion said the exception is CBD products that can be used by people with epilepsy who are on a new state registry.

Three Events Planned In Evansville For Dec. 1 World AIDS Day

   Three area events have been planned in Evansville for World AIDS Day. World AIDS Day takes place on December 1 each year. It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. Founded in 1988, World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day.

The Tri-State Alliance will host an open house with a light lunch on Friday, Dec. 1 at their offices at 501 John Street Suite 5 in Evansville. Lunch will be served at 11:45am, and at 12:15pm the group will watch the 34 minute documentary ”Looking Back, Marching Forward, Hoosiers in the HIV / AIDS Arena”.

Also at the Tri-State Alliance offices, singer Jeffrey Bowen will be the keynote speaker at an educational event at 6pm. Pizza will be served at 5:30pm, and Mr. Bowen will speak at 6pm about his life journey from growing up in Southern Indiana, living in Owensboro and coping with HIV / AIDS.

Then on Sunday, Dec. 3 at 9am a World AIDS Day church service will be held at 9am at St. Lucas United Church of Christ, 33 West Virginia Street in Evansville. All are welcome to attend.

For more information, please contact Wally Paynter at 812-480-0204 or wallypaynter@aol.com, or visit the AIDS Holiday Project on Facebook or AIDSHolidayProject.org.

Grant awarded to St. Vincent “Healthy Harvest” program to fight food insecurity in Evansville

0

Welborn Baptist Foundation, Inc. gives two-year Healthy Eating Active Living grant to St. Vincent Evansville

 The Welborn Baptist Foundation, Inc. has given the HEAL (Healthy Eating Active Living) Grant of $125,024 to St. Vincent Evansville. The grant will support the St. Vincent Healthy Harvest program, a new initiative to help bring healthy food to those who need it in the Evansville community.

The grant supported the purchase of a greenhouse and hydroponic system that will allow for year-round growth of fruits and vegetables. This infrastructure will be located at Seton Harvest, a community-supported agriculture initiative sponsored by the Daughters of Charity Province of St. Louise. The produce grown will be distributed by the Seton Harvest delivery truck, local food pantries, homeless shelters, school backpack programs, and various other outlets.

“Evidence has shown that obesity and other chronic health conditions are more prominent in communities that are located in food deserts,” said Janet Raisor, Executive Director/Foundation Operations, St. Vincent Evansville.” This grant from the Welborn Baptist Foundation will allow us to help educate, fight hunger and improve the health of more families in our community.”

The Healthy Harvest program will be in partnership with several local organizations including Seton Harvest, St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, and Ozanam Homeless Shelter, as well as several local schools including Sharon Elementary and Cedar Hall.

This program will serve adults and children in the greater Evansville area, including the Evansville designated Promise Zone, and will meet the Promise Zone goal of promoting better health and access to healthcare, specifically access to affordable fresh fruits and vegetables. Produce will be distributed on a weekly or biweekly basis, depending on the type of produce.

Supplemental education and health screenings will be provided by a St. Vincent Evansville Community Health Registered Dietitian and RN. The dietitian will create recipe cards to accompany fresh produce and provide hands on education about healthy eating at field trips for participating schools to Seton Harvest. These field trips will also provide children with fun, interactive information on gardening and farming. Additionally, the RN will provide much needed health screenings at the distribution sites.

 Event to benefit Arc of Evansville Child Life Center

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s basketball team will hold the Teddy Bear Toss on December 10 when the Purple Aces host Morehead State at 7 p.m. in Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Benefiting the Arc of Evansville Child Life Center, fans are encouraged to bring a new and unused teddy bear or stuffed animal to toss during halftime of the contest. Each stuffed animal will be given to a child at the Child Life Center. The fan who tosses their teddy bear closest to center court will win a Purple Aces prize pack including vouchers to a future basketball game.

Fans who bring a teddy bear or stuffed animal to the game will receive $3 tickets to the game for everyone in their party.

The Child Life Center (CLC) provides high-quality programs in an inclusive environment for children ages six weeks to six years, both with and without disabilities, by nurturing their social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. The state-licensed facility is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and rated Level 4 on the Paths to Quality program. Last year, 59% of the children who exited the CLC and entered kindergarten reduced or eliminated their need for special education services
