HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

As the year 2020 wraps up, people are going to be eager to celebrate and welcome the year 2021!

Celebrating with friends, family, and loved ones is always a pleasant way to end a very odd 2020, and welcome a (hopefully) brighter 2021! However, with celebration, comes the urge to drink and drive.

New Year’s Eve is one of the top causes for an increase in DUIs, OWIs, car accidents, and avoidable deaths. Please, if you decide to celebrate with alcohol or other mind-altering substances, be responsible!!

If you find yourself in a position where you have had 1 too many, please find an alternate way home. Numerous companies help or provide discounts on New Year’s Eve to assist individuals getting home safe and sound.

Companies and people to rely on:

• Have a friend or family member be the designated driver

• Call an Uber (usually offers discounts on New Year’s Eve)

• Call a Lyft (usually offers discounts on New Year’s Eve)

• Call a sober friend or family member

• Contact your local police station if it is a non-life-threatening emergency

• Call 911 if it is an emergency

• Stay the night at the place you are celebrating

• Choose to be the designated driver for your family or friends

If you find yourself needing legal advice or representation due to a DUI, OWI, or other matters, please reach out. We will be happy to assist you!

Holt Legal Group wishes everyone a healthy and blessed New Year! Stay safe, drink responsibly and social distance!

Happy 2021!!

Holcomb Moves to Hoosiers' Mask Mandate!

websites@hibu.com (Hibu Websites) — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 20:18:53 GMT

HOOSIERS- WEAR YOUR MASK!!

What does this mean?

Indiana Governor Holcomb has decided to require all Hoosiers to wear a mask starting Monday, July 27, 2020 ! This decision was released on Wednesday. It is not “suggested,” rather, “required.”

If you are over the age of 8, you are required to wear a mask while inside, public spaces, and in areas where social distancing is unable to be practiced.

Due to the increased hospitalization rates and increase in the number of cases, Holcomb found this to be a necessary action to protect the Hoosiers in Indiana.

What if I don’t want to wear one?

Holcomb has decided to make this mandate a Class B misdemeanor. While our dedicated officers will not be specifically patrolling the streets for people not wearing their masks, Holcomb asks that Hoosiers do the “right thing” and wear them. He does not want to have to start issuing misdemeanors. Police officers will be educating people before they start punishing. However, it is a state law to wear a mask, so you can be punished for not wearing one.

Businesses do not have to serve you or let you in their buildings if you are not wearing a mask! Always make sure you have one with you. If you forget, some businesses are kind enough to offer you one, but do not always expect that will be the case!

Who all must wear a mask?

According to the governor, these are the requirements for wearing a mask:

• Anyone over 8 years of age

• Faculty, staff, volunteers, grades 3 and up, etc. in school systems

• Co-curricular / extracurricular activities

• Strongly recommended for ages 2-7

There are a few exceptions, such as:

• Strenuous physical activity

• Medical purposes

• Eating / drinking

What are your thoughts on the state-wide mandate?

How has your business been affected by having to implement masks into the workday?

Remember: if you feel sick, STAY HOME!
