IS IT TRUE? June 14, 2011

IS IT TRUE that the first day after the Courier and Press reported that the Evansville Parks Department was trying to get its act together with a system to track complaints that a News 25 reporter went to a highly visible city park and was able to collect an empty liquor bottle, a sharp piece of metal, a weapon, a condom wrapper, and a used condom all in a matter of minutes?…that the reporter gathered this disgusting collection and took it to Dan Schall the Director of Parks for the City of Evansville?…that his response was that this was done by the people of Evansville?…that in defense of Mr. Schall that his statement is truthful?…that if a population of people lives like animals that there is indeed little that can be done to improve the conditions of the feedlot?…that part of the solution to these problems with the parks is in the hands of the people of Evansville but that the leadership role needs to come from the City Administration?…that Mr. Schall should consider this collection of garbage to be the first citizen complaint that he should log into his complaint register?…that maybe Monday mornings would be a good time to do a sweep of the parks to clean the garbage of reckless living?…that this whole garbage, used rubbers, druggie discards etc. will only improve according to the old adage “where there is a will there is a way”?…that we are very curious where the will to improve is in the current administration?

IS IT TRUE that a little old lady named Bernice stood before the Evansville City Council last night to speak her mind about the Council’s judgment or lack thereof?…that Bernice started out with an admonishment to the Council to think for themselves as opposed to continuing to be “puppets” for the current administration?…that Bernice was cut off by City Council President B. J. Watts mid sentence and told that there would not be any political statements made?…the Bernice simply asked “why”?…that on her way back to her seat that Councilman H. Dan Adams gave her some respect and allowed her to speak for a sentence or two?…that Bernice had a simple message and it was for the City Council to think for themselves and be a puppet for no one?…that the City County Observer would like to thank Bernice for her diligence in trying to make Evansville better and echo her admonishment to the City Council to think and do not be a puppet for anyone?…that Evansville could use more citizens with the civic engagement that Bernice has?

IS IT TRUE that on the heels of the City County Observer’s posts about the “Keeping the Majority” fundraiser that Fox 7 News has been in pursuit of the Democrats included and excluded from the fundraiser?…that it is always gratifying to see and hear of the mainstream media picking up leads from our website and running with them?…that it takes coordinated research to get to the bottom of things and that with as many Moles as we have we really like to see other news agencies get into the fracas?

IS IT TRUE that we encourage you to celebrate the “Ordination” of Bishop Charles Thompson on June 29, 2011 at Robert’s Stadium at 2:00 p. m.? … Bishop elect Charles Thompson is just the 5th Bishop to be named to the Diocese of Evansville? …that his ordination and installation is a significant event in the life of the Catholic Church? …we encourage you to call 477-8923 or e-mail – cindyj@hrparish.org for more information?

IS IT TRUE we are saddened to hear about the unexpected death of attorney, Timothy R Dodd? …that Mr. Dodd was extremely well respected and was a tireless advocate of the disadvantaged? …that because of Mr. Dodd’s untimely death that this shall cause a delay in the trial of alleged murderer, Jeffery Weisheit? …that because the courts have to replace Mr. Dodd with another defense attorney to represent Mr. Weisheit his trial may not start up until the beginning of next year?…that this time lag should give the Vanderburgh County Council an opportunity to budget and fund the reasonable request from Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Nick Hermann so he and his excellent legal team can bring justice to the victims and their families for this horrible crime
