0

The annual Honoring Women Veterans Conference at the University of Evansville is Saturday, June 6, 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., Eykamp Hall in UE’s Ridgway University Center. This is a day of education, fun and camaraderie for women who have served and currently serve in the United States military. The deadline for women veterans to register for this free conference is Friday, May 22.

 

This is the sixth year for the conference that has in the past drawn participants who ranged in age from 18 to 103 years old. Some have traveled from as far away as Oklahoma and Washington, D.C. to attend.

 

The day’s activities include informative sessions on military benefits, networking and career information, and an afternoon of facials, manicures, massages and more.

 

The day’s guest speaker will be Betty Moseley Brown, associate director for the Center for Women Veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Brown is a dynamic speaker who has been instrumental in promoting awareness of the contributions made by women who served in the military through multiple department-wide efforts, such as VA’s Her Story campaign and the Face Behind the File: Women at War DVD.

 

Brown served in the Marine Corps from 1978 to 1992, and then began her career with the VA. There she has held several positions including veterans benefits counselor, women veterans coordinator, veterans benefits administration, compensation and pension service and later for the associate deputy under secretary for policy and program management. She was the VBS’s first outreach coordinator, coordinating outreach activities of five major programs and providing veterans and their dependents with information on benefits and services administered by VA.

 

The University of Evansville is proud to host this conference and to celebrate the dedicated women who have served our country. UE has been consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top midwestern university and voted “Military Friendly” by GI Jobs Magazine.

Military veterans may register online at www.evansville.edu/veteransaffairs or by calling the Vet Center at 812-473-5993 or UE coordinator of veteran affairs Cherie Leonhardt at 812-488-2141.

Property owners have no duty for tenant’s free-running dog

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

Although the landlords provided the means to restrain the tenant’s dog, they are not responsible for the injuries a motorcyclist sustained when the pooch dashed into the road and caused an accident.

Gary Byers filed a complaint against the property owners, Robert and Rhoda Moredock, following his bike wreck. He argued the landlords breached their duty under a Howard County ordinance by permitting a dangerous dog to run on the property they control.

The Moredocks owned the house and surrounding four acres along County Road West 250 South in Howard County, but the dog, a Rottweiler named Brutus, belonged to their tenant Jessica Stine.

In depositions, Robert Moredock testified the dog was usually inside the house or on a chain while Rhoda Moredock said she only saw the dog loose in the yard when someone came outside and she never saw the dog chase a car or other animal.

After the Howard Superior Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Moredocks, Byers appealed. However, the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the decision in Gary P. Byers v. Robert E. Moredock and Rhoda S. Moredock, 34A04-1412-CT-560.

On appeal, Byers contended Robert Moredock’s installation of a metal post to restrain the Rottweiler indicated he knew the dog had a propensity to run.

The Court of Appeals was not convinced. Pointing to Morehead v. Deitrich, 932 N.E.2d at 1279, the unanimous panel ruled although Robert Moredock placed a metal post in the yard, it was not “reasonably foreseeable” that the dog’s owners would not adequately restrain him or that the dog would escape and run into the road.
