VHS to Celebrate 60th Anniversary with Free Ice Cream Social

0

The Vanderburgh Humane Society is celebrating 60 years of serving the pets & people of our community with an Ice Cream Social, sponsored by Nomad Technology Group and Pet Supplies Plus! Saturday, June 24th, 2017 from 11:00-4:00, the public can enjoy free ice cream, hot dogs, kids’ activities, and behind-the-scenes shelter tours on the VHS campus.

The entire event is FREE to the public! The event will be held indoor/outdoor, rain or shine, and has public restrooms and wheelchair accessibility in most areas. Kids and leashed pets are welcome!

This summer happens to also be the VHS Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic’s 10th birthday, and Cardio for Canines’ FIRST birthday! The public will not want to miss this party.

The VHS is the Tri-State’s largest animal welfare agency, serving more than 10,000 animals in three states every single year. But there are still people who don’t know about their lifesaving programs. Who have never even been to their “new” facility, built in 2004. There are many who don’t know about the services they offer, or what they do every day. This is the perfect chance to get to know the VHS! Ask questions, and learn about the past 60 years AND what the future holds.

Door prizes will be awarded. “2K Fetch” tickets are available for purchase for $10 each. Every ticket corresponds to one of 250 numbered tennis balls, one of which will be “fetched” by a shelter dog during the event. Purchase as many tickets as you’d like for your chance to win $500!

All Departments including Adoptions and the Happy Tails Resale Shop will be open!

Corporate sponsorships are still available for a limited time! Email a.coburn@vhslifesaver.org or call (812) 426-2563 x 218 for information.

Wish list items were collected for care packages to send to deployed troops, new recruits, veterans, wounded warriors and their care givers through Operation Gratitude (www. operationgratitude.com).

“It has been tremendous to see the outpouring of care and gratitude to all our service men and women by our customers, communities and amazing employees,” said Amy Jackson, Executive Vice President – Chief Operating Officer. “This is our second year of collecting for Operation Gratitude, and we more than doubled our collections.”

Items collected range from handwritten notes from local elementary students as well as employees, to game cards, toothpaste and socks.

First Security Bank is a $600 million asset bank with 11 banking centers. With more than 130 employees, in its four markets and corporate offices, First Security Bank has differentiated itself from larger competitors with its focus on relationship banking and the ability to make credit and other business decisions locally.

AG Hill: Arresting Drug Users Proves Beneficial In Saving Lives

0

INDIANAPOLIS – Clad in their Dearborn County Jail attire and under guard, four inmates participating in a Jail Chemical Addictions Program (JCAP) made presentations Wednesday to the Indiana Attorney General’s Public Safety Coalition (PSC).

The four men, along with two ex-offender graduates of the program, offered raw depictions of addiction along with this startling conclusion: “Getting arrested saved my life!”

Attorney General Curtis Hill organized the PSC to focus Indiana law enforcement and other experts on finding constructive solutions to the state’s crime and drug problems. He appointed Decatur County Prosecuting Attorney Nathan Harter to chair the effort.

Wednesday’s conference at the Indiana Government Center highlighted chemical addiction programs at the Boone and Dearborn county jails. Targeting inmate populations, Hill said, represents one of the best methods of reaching drug users most in need of services.

“Everyone recognizes the need for more treatment facilities,” Hill said, “but it would be unwise to expect addicts to just line up and ask for help. The nature of addiction will not allow such rational behavior.”

Incarceration, therefore, plays a vital role in helping addicts recognize their need for intervention, Hill said. On Wednesday, the JCAP participants themselves confirmed they needed the constraints of jail to break their cycles of addiction.

Such realities call into question the wisdom of recent trends toward reducing jail time for people arrested in connection with drug use, Hill said.

“Efforts to limit jail time for drug users might be well-intended,” Hill said, “but based on what we’ve heard from inmates, one must conclude that the most compassionate course might actually be giving them more jail time.”

The point of incarcerating drug users is not to dole out maximum punishment, Hill said, but rather to provide them the best possible opportunity to overcome their addiction.

“When we allow drug users easily to bail out without treatment, we do them a disservice,” Hill said. “They typically go right back to the routines and habits that got them in trouble in the first place.”

A better course, he said, is to provide addicts prolonged sustainable programming while they are incarcerated followed by a solid after-care plan upon their release.

Hill envisions all counties in Indiana having access to the JCAP model – either by operating their own quality programs or participating in regional JCAPs. Working with the Public Safety Coalition, Hill plans to press policymakers statewide to support jail chemical addiction programming as an effective weapon in Indiana’s ongoing battle against substance abuse.
