Help With Tutoring Costs Available For Hoosier Students

Help With Tutoring Costs Available For Hoosier Students

by Indian State Representative Wendy McNarama

While Indiana is making great strides in boosting student reading and math scores, more work needs to be done to get scores back to pre-pandemic levels. To support students in reaching their goals, Indiana Learns is providing grants to help families pay for after-school tutoring.

With Indiana Learns, established through legislation I supported, eligible families can receive up to $1,000 to use toward approved math and reading tutors, and academic camps during school breaks for students in grades three to eight.

To be eligible, a student must qualify for the federal free or reduced lunch program and have scored below proficiency in either mathematics or English/language arts on ILEARN in 2022.

To find out if your student qualifies, click here.

This is a great opportunity to help students improve their reading and math skills, and I hope more families consider applying for an Indiana Learns grant. Eligible students must use the funding before June 30, 2024. To learn more and apply, click here.

  • Staff Report
Verbatim logo

On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, R-Indiana, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Military Personnel and co-chair of the House Hypersonics Caucus, passed an amendment in the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act prioritizing the Navy’s hypersonics program. 

U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, R-Indiana.  Photo courtesy of the member, www.congress.gov.

From the press release: “Indiana is a national hub for hypersonics development and Purdue University recently opened a first-of-its-kind hypersonics Applied Research Facility. The Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) system, the Navy’s main hypersonic program, has no one-star or two-star flag officer billets, disincentivizing servicemembers from serving at CPS and undermining its talent pipeline. Rep. Banks’ amendment directs the Secretary of Defense and Chief of Naval Operations to develop a plan to re-allocate a one-star billet to serve as director of CPS.”

Damien Center will offer free and confidential rapid HIV testing June 27 at four locations in observance of National HIV Testing Day. This annual event encourages people to get tested for HIV, know their status, and get linked to care and treatment right away. 

From the press release: “HIV testing is done through a quick finger prick blood sample, so getting tested is easy and test results are available within 20 minutes. Damien Center also offers free and confidential HIV and STI testing every weekday and on three Saturdays throughout the month.

“According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 13% of the estimated 1.2 million people in the U.S. living with HIV today are not aware of their status. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to preserving health and preventing transmission. People who test positive for HIV can lead long, healthy lives through medication and other methods.”

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a public school teacher, claiming that House Enrolled Act 1608, a law that prohibits “instruction” on “human sexuality” in grades K-3, infringes on her constitutional rights.

Ken Falk, ACLU of Indiana legal director: “HEA 1608 is written so broadly that it would be next to impossible for teachers to determine what they can and cannot say to students. In addition, teachers have a First Amendment right to express themselves as private citizens outside of the classroom, including in the school’s hallways, playground, or before and after school, but the vagueness of this law would certainly have a chilling effect on those rights.”

Katie Blair, ACLU of Indiana advocacy director: “In this session, legislators were determined to target LGBTQ community members and to censor conversation about the LGBTQ community in schools, HEA 1608 was no exception. This bill, like others across the country, was modeled after Florida’s infamous ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law. LGBTQ students exist at all ages and in all grade levels and their stories belong in Indiana schools.”

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently announced that annual inflation has fallen for 11 months in a row.

Mike Schmuhl, chair of the Indiana Democratic Party.  Photo provided.

Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Mike Schmuhl: “[The] Consumer Price Index report reaffirms the strong economy President Biden has built with record-low unemployment and historic investments in manufacturing and the industries of tomorrow. Inflation has fallen for 11-straight months, and is at its lowest point in over two years, meaning more breathing room for Hoosier families. With unemployment rates reaching historic lows across the state, and inflation falling fast, Hoosiers are witnessing the integral role Democratic leaders—such as Representatives Frank Mrvan and André Carson – are playing in accelerating a vision for a better economic future for all demographics, including young people, Black women, and people with disabilities. Republicans, on the other hand, remain keen on giving handouts to special interests and big corporations that would increase the debt by hundreds of billions.”

Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a lawsuit against an Arizona-based company allegedly responsible for facilitating billions of robocalls. As part of a coalition of 48 states and the District of Columbia, Rokita sued Michael D. Lansky LLC, which does business under the name Avid Telecom.

Rokita: “Hoosiers are sick and tired of these annoying robocalls that not only interrupt their lives but also violate state and federal laws. Rest assured that we will keep going after these illegal robocalls with the same dogged aggressiveness that we’ve shown since Day One.”

Otters Randy Wynne Earns MLB Call-Up

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – On Sunday, the Cincinnati Reds called up former Evansville Otters pitcher Randy Wynne to the major leagues.

Wynne signed with the Reds organization out of Evansville in June of 2019.

“We couldn’t be happier for Randy,” Otters field manager Andy McCauley said. “He is a great pitcher and always gave us his best. We wish him the best of luck.”

The former Otter joins Brandyn Sittinger, Brad Ziegler, Justin James, R.J. Swindle, and Travis Schlichting on a list of players that Andy McCauley managed and later made it to the big leagues.

Wynne, from San Diego, California, signed and played for the Otters throughout 2018 and began the 2019 season in Evansville.

The right-hander was undrafted out of Missouri Baptist University and began his professional career in the United Shore League with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Beavers in 2016 and 2017.

“Randy has worked really hard to get to this point in his career,” Otters pitching coach Max Peterson said. “We are proud of the work he’s put in to get to this moment.”

In 30 career games with the Otters, Wynne compiled a 14-11 record and 3.52 ERA with 161 strikeouts across 184.1 innings. He threw four complete games in 2018, tied for fifth-most in a single season in Otters history. His 5-2 start to 2019 helped earn him the contract purchase from the Reds.

The 30-year-old will make his Major League debut after four Minor League seasons in 2019 and 2021-23.

This season with Triple-A Louisville, Wynne has a 2-1 record in his seven starts, grabbing 19 strikeouts across his 31.1 innings.

Wynne joins three other former Otters to get the call-up to The Show, joining pitchers Sittinger, George Sherrill and Andrew Werner.

Sittinger played a few games in the majors before returning to the affiliated ranks in 2022. Sherrill went on to a lengthy MLB career from 2004-12 for four franchises and an All-Star selection in 2008. Werner pitched for the San Diego Padres in 2012 and then later moved on to become a baseball pitching coach after his stint in MLB.

The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions.

Otters bash eight doubles to clobber Y’alls

0
Florence, Ky. – The Evansville Otters hit a franchise tying eight doubles and Dakota Phillips had four extra base hits in a 14-4 series winning victory over the Florence Y’alls.

The Otters had 10 total extra base-hits Sunday afternoon as part of a 15-hit outburst. Phillips’ massive day finished with four total hits with three doubles and a home run, four RBIs and four runs.

Phillips’ three doubles tied the Otters single-game player record. Evansville finished with a season-best 31 total runs across the series.

The Otters jumped on the Y’alls early as Phillips had an RBI double in the first. Ethan Skender hit a double and would come around to score on a wild pitch to add another run in the second.

Phillips went back to work in the third with a leadoff double and scored as part of a two run inning to give the Otters a 5-0 lead.

Florence got two back on a home run in the bottom of third. Evansville responded by blowing the game open with a three run fourth inning as Kona Quiggle notched an RBI hit before Phillips launched a two run blast.

Three more runs scored in both the sixth and seventh for Evansville. Phillips hit his record-tying double to bring in the final two runs of the game in the seventh.

Aaron Beck continued his excellent start to the year with two doubles of his own as part of a three-hit day. The Evansville native finished his first week of professional play with eighth hits in five starts.

Parker Brahms earned the win from the mound, completing six innings with four runs allowed and six strikeouts. Leoni De La Cruz, Kevin Davis and Jake Polancic combined to work three scoreless innings to close out the win.

All nine Otters starters scored a run as the team scored the second most runs and the second most hits of any game this season.

Jomar Reyes extended his Otters’ long on-base streak to 18 games. Evansville has plated at least five runs in their last four games with a home run in all four.

Evansville returns to Bosse Field on Tuesday to open a three game series against the Gateway Grizzlies. A 6:35 PM CT first pitch kicks off of a Fifth Third Bank Family Night.

Families of four can receive four general admission tickets, four hot dogs, four bags of chips and four drinks all for $40 ($55 value). Click here for more information. First pitch is slated for 6:35 PM CT.

Turn The Lock On Both Of Them

Turn The Lock On Both Of Them

Hunter Biden’s Story Is A Shabby One

John Krull, publisher, TheStatehouseFile.com

By his own admission, detailed in his memoir, the surviving son of President Joe Biden is an addict who has made addict choices. Such choices often bring heartache to families and other loved ones, violate basic ethical concepts and break the law.

Hunter Biden’s addict choices landed him in legal trouble serious enough to warrant having him enter a plea deal. In that agreement, he pleaded guilty to federal misdemeanor charges that he failed to pay taxes.

In return, a federal felony charge that he owned a firearm illegally likely will be dismissed, provided he complies with certain conditions.

He will do no prison time.

The plea deal has enraged conservatives, who contend that the younger Biden is being treated too leniently.

They’re right—but, as so often is the case, not in the way they think.

The most serious charge the president’s son faced was the gun charge. His apologists argue that the law he violated is rarely used except in circumstances far more extreme than this one. This, they say, is proof that Hunter Biden’s family connection to power and prominence worked against him.

Perhaps, but the reality is that the charge went away because the same conservatives who want the younger Biden’s head served on a platter made it difficult, possibly even, impossible to convict him.

Biden’s lawyers planned to offer a Second Amendment defense to the felony charge. In doing so, they would have relied on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling drafted by Justice Clarence Thomas, no friend of the Biden family or Democratic politicians in general.

Just last year, Thomas wrote the majority opinion in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. vs. Bruen. That ruling was informed by the National Rifle Association’s reasoning—advanced through years of advocacy and litigation—that deadly weapons should be made available in vending machines and the people who purchase them should not be compelled in any way to store or use them safely.

Thomas’s opinion decreased the chances of prosecutors securing a conviction on the gun charge immeasurably, so they took what they could get.

In other words, conservatives provided Hunter Biden with the key to unlock his jail cell.

There may be poetic justice in that but there’s no justice in the other part of the plea deal.

Because of that plea agreement, we now know that the younger Biden failed to pay more than $100,000 in taxes in 2017 and 2018.

That’s about half-again as much as the median household income in the United States.

The fact that cheating on his taxes and shifting more than six figures worth of the weight of running the country onto other people’s shoulders merits only a misdemeanor conviction is a crime.

I felt that way when it was revealed that former President Donald Trump had evaded paying taxes on his hush-money payment to a porn star.

I feel the same way about Hunter Biden doing it.

Wrong is wrong.

Period.

The party label of the person who does the wrong in question shouldn’t matter.

When guys like Donald Trump and Hunter Biden shirk their responsibilities as taxpaying citizens, other people—many of whom earn less than either man spends on drycleaning his suits—must make up the difference.

The Hunter Bidens and Donald Trumps of the world think this makes them look slick and smart—savvy operators who figured out how to game the system.

It doesn’t.

It just makes them appear pathetic, scavengers who feed off the efforts of people more hardworking and responsible than they are.

Conservatives think Hunter Biden got off easy.

They’re right about that.

But the fact that he was able to duck the gun charge is their own fault. If they hadn’t spent two generations trying to turn this country into a shooter’s paradise, Hunter Biden likely would be facing prison time and America would be a much safer place.

As for the tax evasion charges, it wouldn’t have broken my heart to see the younger Biden locked up for that offense.

Maybe he even could have shared a prison cell with a certain former president who also hates to pay taxes
