Director of Early Childhood Education Terry Green said, “Early childhood education lays the groundwork for success later in school by successfully preparing students to enter kindergarten on time and ready to learn.” Green said EVSC focuses on active learning – making learning fun for students, allowing them to explore and providing them new experiences with which to build knowledge.

Courts cannot force contact with extended family members other than grandparents

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

Courts do not have the authority to force parents to allow their children to have contact with members of their extended family, aside from grandparents, the Indiana Court of Appeals decided Tuesday.

After M.S. committed suicide in May 2015, J.S., his ex-wife, began to curtail the time their child, G.S., spent with her paternal relatives. J.S. had a particular issue with M.L., a paternal aunt with whom G.S. had been close, and did not want G.S. to spend time with her any longer.

However, M.L. lived with M.S., the grandmother, so J.S. required visits with the grandmother to occur outside of the home. However, M.S. had medical concerns that made leaving her home difficult, so she filed a petition for grandparent visitation in June 2015. But three months later, J.S. and G.S. moved to Tennessee because the mother received a promotion, significantly cutting down on the child’s contact with her paternal relatives.

The trial court granted the grandmother’s visitation petition in August 2016, ordering one visit per month for at least six hours at a time. Additionally, the court held all visitations between the grandmother and grandchild could be held in M.S.’s home, other residents of the home, including the aunt, were not required to leave during the visits, and other family members were allowed to be present either in-person or over the phone during the visits.

In the case of In Re: the Grandparent Visitation of G.S., J.S. v. M.S., 30A01-1608-DR-1801, J.S. appealed only the portion of the order mandating that her child be permitted to visit and have contact with paternal relatives other than the grandmother.

The Indiana Court of Appeals agreed with the mother Tuesday, with Judge John Baker writing for the unanimous panel that, “The General Assembly has seen fit to carve out a narrow, limited exception to a parent’s right to raise her children for grandparents. There is no such exception for anyone else, including other relatives.”

“Indeed, we encourage Mother to reconsider her position; considering all that Child has lost in her short life, it seems wise to permit her to maintain contact with anyone and everyone who loves and supports her,” Baker continued. “But while we encourage her to do so, we – and the trial court – are without authority to order her to do so.”

Thus, the appellate panel reversed the portions of the trial court’s order relating to all paternal relatives except for the grandmother.

Eagles receiving votes in latest Top 25 polls

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball is receiving votes in the latest WBCA Division II Coaches’ and Division II Media Top 25 polls.

 

The Screaming Eagles rank No. 27 with 20 votes in the Media Poll and are tied for No. 32 with 10 votes in the Coaches’ Poll. This week’s polls do not reflect results from Monday’s games.

 

USI (14-3, 6-1 GLVC) is coming off a tough 88-83 setback to No. 4 Bellarmine University last night at the Physical Activities Center. Senior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) had a career-high 30 points to lead the Eagles, who led by four with just over four minutes to play in the contest.

 

The Eagles must now turn their attention to this weekend as they play host to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Thursday at 5:30 p.m. and No. 24 Lewis Saturday at 1 p.m. Fans are encouraged to participate in the Eagles’ “Whiteout” game Thursday, while Saturday is Military Appreciation Day at the PAC.

 

Veterans, military personnel and their guests will receive free tickets to Saturday’s games with their military identification or proof of service at the front of the PAC. In addition to the free tickets, military members will also be given a yellow pin along with a coupon for a free hot dog, chips and drink.

 

UW-Parkside (5-10, 3-4 GLVC) has won three straight games and five of its last eight after opening the year with seven straight losses; while Lewis (13-4, 5-2 GLVC), which visits Bellarmine Thursday, is trying to bounce back from a 77-72 home loss to Maryville University last Saturday.

 

Both games will be aired on WSWI 95.7 FM, while live stats, audio, and GLVC Sports Network coverage can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

Senior guard Tanner Marcumhad a game-high 30 points to lead the Eagles, while junior guard Randa Harshbarger added 15 points.

 

  • Eagles suffer first GLVC loss.USI suffered its first loss in league play after opening GLVC competition with a 6-0 record for the first time since the 1996-97 campaign.

 

  • USI receiving votes in Top 25 polls.The Eagles are receiving votes in this week’s Division II Media Poll as well as this week’s WBCA Coaches’ Poll. USI ranks No. 27 with 20 votes in the Media Poll and is tied for No. 32 with 10 votes in the Coaches’ Poll. This week’s polls do not reflect results from Monday’s games.

 

  • Time for another winning streak? USI has followed each of its first two losses of the season with winning streaks of at least four games. Up next for the Eagles are bouts against GLVC East Division foes Wisconsin-Parkside, No. 24 Lewis, Saint Joseph’s and Indianapolis.

 

  • Bench points. USI’s starters accounted for 79 of USI’s 83 points in the Eagles’ five-point loss to Bellarmine Monday night. The four points from USI’s bench marked the lowest output of the season for the Eagles’ reserves, which are outscoring the opposition’s bench by nearly 10 points per game (24.9-15.2).

 

  • Marcum’s 30 points. Senior guard Tanner Marcum’s 30-point performance against Bellarmine marked USI’s highest point total since Anna Hackert scored 35 in the Eagles’ win over Indianapolis February 19, 2015.

 

  • Scouting the opposition (UW-Parkside). Senior guard Brittney Fair averages 13.0 points per game to lead the Rangers, who have won three straight and five of their last eight games after opening the season with seven straight losses.

 

  • Last year against UW-Parkside. The Rangers used runs of 7-0 and 10-3 to build a 14-point third-quarter lead; then withstood a late USI charge to hand the Eagles a 72-60 loss in Somers, Wisconsin. Morgan Dahlstromhad 14 points and seven rebounds to lead the Eagles, who shot just 33.8 percent from the field in what was their sixth-straight loss.

 

  • Scouting the opposition (Lewis). Sophomore forward Jessica Kelliher averages a team-best 20.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game to lead the Flyers, who are coming off a 77-72 home loss to Maryville last Saturday. She is averaging 24.0 points per game in GLVC-only contests. Senior guard Jamie Johnson, the 2014 GLVC Player of the Year, is chipping in 18.4 points per contest.

  • Familiar name? USI’s game against Lewis marks the second time this year the Eagles’ post players will go up against a player named Kelliher. Jessica Kelliher, Lewis’s leading scorer, is the sister of Michigan Tech’s Elizabeth Kelliher, who had four points in the Huskies’ 79-61 win over the Eagles in November.
