Isaiah Moss was recently awarded the IU Jewish Studies Program’s Faculty Scholarship. He will attend Indiana University in Bloomington next year and will double major in Jewish Studies and Chemistry.  He will receive a full scholarship for tuition and mandatory fees from the Borns Jewish Studies Program.  Isaiah will enroll in the pre-med curriculum and hopes to be a physician and/or scientist.
Isaiah is a senior at Jasper High School, 17 years old, and is an honor student. Â He is also a musician (plays the saxophone). He was recently voted Homecoming King for Jasper High School. Â He is a member of the National Honor Society, carries a heavy course load with subjects like advanced calculus, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, AP history, and English, all the while getting straight A’s.
He has performed with the theatre department at Jasper High School and was a member of the Dive Team.  He was featured soloist with Jasper Marching Band and also participates with Jasper High School Jazz, Symphonic, and Pep Band. He has also competed at State each year in Solo/Ensemble since 8th grade, winning numerous gold medals. He volunteers at the local food bank and has performed for the residents at nursing homes.
In his scholarship application, Isaiah stated “that he wants to deepen his understanding of Jewish thought, philosophy, history, and belief. It would be a great fulfillment to become a student of Judaism, to involve myself in Jewish learning, projects, study, and scholarly work at Indiana University, which has so many resources.”  As a musician, the rich history of Jewish music, sacred, Klezmer, or classical, would also be of great value for me. It would also enrich my musical interests and abilities.
He also wrote that “I have an interest in science and will most likely pursue a pre-med path as well. To become a scientist or a physician would be fulfilling for me, and Jewish wisdom and understanding would be essential to such an undertaking. Its principles would guide me in all that I do, especially, my desire to help others. The moral teachings of our prophets would be a guiding light to me.
“A Jewish Studies major is a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my goals as a student, researcher, writer, future scientist or physician, a musician, an American, and as a Jew.â€
Moss is the son of Dr. Richard and Supit Moss of Jasper. Â He is the second son, and 4th child, of Dr. Richard and Supit Moss of Jasper.
According to The Indianapolis Star, 2017 saw more than 29,000 abused children in Indiana—about 18 for every 1,000 children statewide.
The National Child Abuse Coalitionsays that “at least one in seven children has experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year. Some, but not all, of these children enter foster care.â€
More than 1,800 children died from abuse or neglect in the United States, according to the coalition.
There are different definitions of what child abuse is. Childhelp defines it as “any act of commission or omission that endangers or impairs a child’s physical or emotional health and development. Child abuse includes any damage done to a child which cannot be reasonably explained and which is often represented by an injury or series of injuries appearing to be non-accidental in nature.â€
The Indiana Department of Child Services say that volunteering your time, offering emotional support and help to parents, considering foster parenting, and just spreading the word can help prevent child abuse.
If you suspect a child needs help, Kids’ Voice of Indiana has a Neglect Hotline that can be called at 1-800-800-5556.

Posey County – Friday night, April 9, at approximately 11:22 p.m., Trooper Fulton was patrolling on 4th Street near Barbee Street in Mt. Vernon when he spotted a tan 2003 Ford Explorer that had been reported stolen. Trooper Fulton activated his emergency lights and attempted to stop the vehicle as the driver was pulling into Casey’s gas station. The driver continued traveling across the parking lot then circled back around and accelerated westbound on 4th Street at a high rate of speed. The driver of the Ford Explorer turned south onto Sawmill Street and disregarded three stop signs before turning east onto Sycamore Street then south onto Elm Street which came to a dead end. The driver exited the vehicle and ran south down a rocky embankment into the flooded river bottoms. Trooper Fulton chased the driver approximately 150 yards before losing sight of him as he ran down into a large creek. As Trooper Fulton was approaching the creek, he observed the driver lying on the north side of the creek bed and was taken into custody without further incident. The driver was identified as Chadrick Royal, 50, of Evansville. Royal displayed signs of impairment and failed field sobriety tests but refused to submit to a chemical test. Royal was taken to the Posey County Jail where he is currently being held on bond.

For the first time all season, the Aces blew a lead in the seventh inning or later as Evansville entered the night with a 12-0 record when leading after the seventh.
A couple early mistakes allowed SIU to plate a run in the top of the first, but the Aces answered with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the second. Back-to-back RBI singles from Mark Shallenberger and Tanner Craig powered Evansville in front.
In the top of the third, the Salukis tied the game with an RBI base-hit of their own. After a lull in the offense, the Aces would retake the lead in the bottom of the fifth. With Scherry on second and just one out, Brent Widder ripped a single to center, sending Scherry home and earning the Aces a 3-2 lead. In consecutive innings in the fifth and sixth, Evansville loaded the bases with two outs, but was unable to push across any extra insurance runs.
Big innings in the eighth and ninth for the Salukis were the difference in the contest with SIU scoring eight in the eighth and four in the ninth, surrounding a single run for Evansville in the bottom of the eighth as SIU captured the 14-4 win.
Evansville and SIU meet for game two of their weekend series at 2 PM on Saturday at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
