British Swim School Makes a Splash in Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Leave a comment


Reflecting on a personal tragedy from his youth, Vick emphasized the importance of water safety. “While growing up, I didn’t realize the importance of water safety until a tragic incident involving a high school friend. As an adult, I ensured my children learned how to swim early and developed a positive relationship with water.”

For over 40 years, British Swim School has been dedicated to teaching water survival skills by teaching infants, children and adults of all ages the skills needed for water acclimation, water survival, and stroke development. Its mission — ensure that every person, regardless of age or ability, has the opportunity to become a safe and happy swimmer.

Across the nation, eleven people die every day from unintentional drownings, with nearly 4,000 deaths occurring each year. Research shows that participation in formal swim programs, such as those offered by British Swim School, can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children who are most at risk for deaths caused by drowning. However, the risk of drowning isn’t limited to children: a Red Cross survey found that more than half of all Americans (54%) either can’t swim or don’t have the basic swimming skills needed to save themselves in the event of a water emergency.

“We are delighted to welcome Vick to our family,” said Ashley Gundlach, President of British Swim School. “His commitment to community safety and his entrepreneurial spirit makes him a perfect fit for our mission. The Durham–Chapel Hill area will greatly benefit from his dedication to building a water-safe community.”

Zakay Law Group APLC and JCL Law Firm APC File Class Action Against Catholic Charities Alleging Failure to Provide Meal and Rest Breaks

Leave a comment


As a result of their rigorous work schedules, Catholic Charities’ employees were allegedly unable to take off duty meal breaks and were not fully relieved of duty for meal periods. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges employees were from time to time interrupted during their off-duty meal breaks to complete tasks for Navy Federal Credit Union. Employees were allegedly required to perform work as ordered by Catholic Charities for more than five (5) hours during a shift without receiving an off-duty meal break. Further, the lawsuit alleges Catholic Charities failed to provide employees with a second off-duty meal period each workday in which these employees were required by Catholic Charities to work ten (10) hours of work. Catholic Charities’ policy allegedly caused employees to remain on-call and on duty during what was supposed to be their off-duty meal periods. Employees therefore allegedly forfeited meal breaks without additional compensation and in accordance with Catholic Charities’ strict corporate policy and practice.

If you would like to know more about the Catholic Charities lawsuit, please contact Attorney Jackland Hom today by calling (619) 255-9047.

Catholics for Choice Launches Billboard Blitz Ahead of Ohio Abortion Vote

Leave a comment


Starting today, Catholics for Choice is blanketing the Buckeye State with more than 30 billboards across Ohio, including in its seven largest metropolitan areas (Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, Toledo, and Youngstown). The signs read “63% of Catholics support legal abortion in all or most cases” and “Pro-Choice Catholics: You Are Not Alone” and tell them to “Vote YES on Issue 1.” They will make nearly 9 million impressions between now and Election Day on November 7.

Catholics for Choice President Jamie L. Manson, M.Div. said:

“Catholics for Choice recognizes what is at stake on the Ohio ballot and how important it is for pro-choice Catholics in Ohio to know that they are not alone. In fact, we are the majority, and 63% of Catholics support legal abortion in all or most cases. Most people of faith believe in abortion rights. In the same way bishops are organizing their parishes to try to defeat Issue 1, so too must pro-choice religious groups mobilize to say: ‘Not in the name of our faith will you take away fundamental freedoms.’

“Ohio’s Catholic bishops are pulling out all the stops to stigmatize and silence pro-choice Catholics across the state, preaching blistering sermons from the pulpit and pouring an astonishing $1.4 million into the campaign to defeat this abortion rights amendment. Their spending is an outrageous misuse of the hard-earned funds that ordinary Catholics donate to their parishes and dioceses.

“Catholics for Choice is immensely proud to spend just a fraction of what the bishops are spending in Ohio to counter their harmful messages with the truth of our own: pro-choice Catholics are not alone, and they must help pass Issue 1.”

Catholics for Choice President Jamie L. Manson, M.Div. and Catholics for Choice Ohio Field Organizer Nicole Morino are available for comment.

Catholics for Choice shapes and advances sexual and reproductive ethics that are based on justice, reflect a commitment to a person’s well-being and respect, and affirm the capacity of all people to make moral decisions about their lives.
