ANDERSON As she looked for a model to emulate in an effort to stimulate innovation that could lead to the revitalization of Anderson, Anikka King didn’t have to look far.
The annual Vesuvius Coworking Pitch Night in which hopefuls share their ideas for potential businesses provided exactly the kind of framework she sought for the Rekindle Anderson Impact Showcase Event, a competitive program. Raise will culminate in an October event at which attendees will vote on winners.
“We have a lot of apathy in this community, but we have so many people with so much talent. We just need to get our arrows facing in the same direction,” said King, who is already active in a number of local initiatives including the NAACP, education and felony expungement program.

A woman shouldn’t have to choose between her job and her health or the health of her unborn child.
Thirty states have laws to address this concern, requiring employers to offer pregnant workers accommodations such as additional breaks, help with manual labor and schedule modifications.
Indiana has no such law.
While many Hoosier employers do the right thing by voluntarily providing accommodations for pregnant women, others demand that pregnant employees continue to work under the same rules and conditions as other workers.
