DeAndre Williams named MVC Newcomer of the Week

0

Williams debuted with 26 points against Ball State

Scoring 26 points in his debut for the University of Evansville, sophomore DeAndre Williams was named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week on Monday.

Williams made a debut for the ages as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team faced Ball State in the season opener on Saturday.  Williams recorded a game-high 26 points on 11-of-14 shooting.  He was 3-for-4 from outside.

He also led all players with 9 rebounds while recording 3 assists and a pair of steals in 28 minutes of work.  Williams’ effort was the best for an Evansville player in their program debut since December 1, 1986.  That night, Marty Simmons scored 27 points versus Montana State.  Interestingly enough, teammate Scott Haffner also made his debut that evening and scored 26.

“I am very proud and excited for his future as an Ace,” UE head coach Walter McCarty said.  “Knowing him, I know he will continue to challenge himself to continue getting better.  He loved making plays for his teammates, so it is awesome that he is recognized for the award.  It is very fitting.”

 The 2019 Municipal Election –
  • Congratulations to Evansville Mayor  Lloyd Winnecke for becoming the first 3 terms Republican mayor of the city of Evansville in landslide fashion.
  • Congratulations to Ron Beane for his election to the Evansville City Council At-Large, receiving the most votes of any candidate in the At-Large race.
  • Congratulations to Justin Elpers for his re-election to the City Council Ward 5 seat.
While these victories are the reason for celebration, the close losses in several City Council races are disappointing, particularly when it is evident that voter apathy played a roll. If you are a Republican voter living in the city of Evansville and did not vote, you provided an assist in the Democrat gains on the City Council.  Anyone that believes that how you vote at the local level does not matter with regard to party affiliation is running a fool’s errand.

64,384 Evansville registered voters did not take the time to vote in the 2019 City Election. That is scary.

Indiana GOP Establishes All-Time Record With 70 Mayoral Wins
Republicans now hold 23 more mayoral offices than Democrats, another record.
The Indiana Republican Party achieved a new record in this year’s municipal elections, ending the 2019 cycle with 70 Republican mayors throughout Indiana. This involved flipping 19 mayoral offices, including those in traditional Democrat strongholds Kokomo, Muncie, Logansport, and Michigan City.

“It was a historic night for Republicans throughout Indiana as voters in the city after city elected Republicans mayors,” said Indiana GOP Chairman Kyle Hupfer. “Never in the history of Indiana have Republicans held this many mayoral offices or had this wide a margin over Democrats.”

 Reflections on Veterans Day –

Veterans Day Remembrance
(from 11/08/19 newsletter)

Another anniversary of Veterans Day – a very prestigious day in the history of this great country which calls to mind the blessing of being an American – is upon us once more. There have been many changes since 1776. When it comes to fighting equipment, the muzzle-loading flintlock musket and cannon were the norm some 200 years ago; now we have modern systems such as the ADAPTIV camouflage system that can make a tank virtually invisible to thermal imaging.

The training for the fighting men in the country’s early wars was crude in comparison to the rigors of today’s requirements for our military men and women. But though the equipment and preparation have changed, the dedication, commitment, courage, and loyalty is as branded into the spirit of our warriors today as it was in days gone by. Those brave men and women who carry out their duty to our nation are still driven to serve and for that America must always be indebted, and we are.
God has blessed America and we continue to pray for the protection of our armed forces. Thank you, comrades.

Celebrating Veterans Day
(from 11/08/19 newsletter)

Every year on Nov. 11, Americans celebrate Veterans Day to commemorate and give thanks to the brave men and women who have served our country.

Armistice Day began in 1919 when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as a day to celebrate the anniversary of the end of World War I, which was dubbed “The War to End All Wars.” Several years later, in 1954, Armistice Day became what we now call Veterans Day after President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced the change, “in order that a grateful nation might pay homage to the veterans of all its wars who have contributed to the preservation of this Nation.”

The commitment to serve our country has deep roots in our Hoosier heritage, with nearly 500,000 veterans living in our state. Each year, lawmakers look for ways to continue our support for these brave men and women, whether it be through financial, tuition, health care or counseling assistance. In this session, we passed a measure that phases in an exemption for military retirement benefits by 2022. In addition, Indiana launched a new online portal to help veterans and their families access state benefits.
Since our country’s founding, generations of Americans have reaffirmed their dedication and loyalty to our country by serving in our military.  May we never take our freedom – and their sacrifices – for granted. When you see a veteran, please take the time to thank them for their service.

Thanking our veterans for their service

(from 11/08/19 newsletter)

Nov. 11 is an opportunity for us to recognize and honor the 18.2 million veterans in the United States and thank them for their service to our country. This Veterans Day, we honor our heroes for putting their lives at risk to make our nation safer and bring about a more peaceful world.

A number of businesses offer discounts and specials to our active and retired service members on Veterans Day. Click here to view a complete list of opportunities and discounts.

We are fortunate to have had so many brave men and women stand for freedom since our country’s founding. We owe it to them to ensure that their service and sacrifice is always remembered.
Please take a moment today and every day to thank our veterans and recognize them for the sacrifices that they have made for our nation.

State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville, right) joins State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville, left) and Thurman Carnal (middle), a 103-year-old World War II veteran, at the Southwest Indiana Regional Council on Aging (SWIRCA) Veterans Day Celebration on Thursday, Nov. 7, in Evansville.
Tomes Attends Veterans Day Celebration
(11/08/19 Press Release by R. Kommes)

SWIRCA’s 11th annual Veterans Day Celebration honored veterans with a meal, entertainment and local vendors offering resources.

“As a veteran, I am honored to have the opportunity to attend events like these and talk about the significance of Veterans Day, especially to those who are veterans themselves,” Tomes said. “On the 101st anniversary of the end of World War I, it is just as important now as it was then to be grateful to those who have made sacrifices for our freedom.”

“IS IT TRUE” NOVEMBER 12, 2019

3

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?

IS IT TRUE last week our server crashed several times and it took about 13 hours to correct the problems?  …that increase readership sometimes causes a down-home on-line community newspaper unexpected challenges?

IS IT TRUE that the competition for the Evansville City Council attorney job is heating up? …we are told that Democratic State Representative and attorney Ryan Hatfield and former two-term Evansville Mayor and attorney Jonathan Weinzapfel are both making calls to the newly elected City Council members trying to earn their business in 2020?

IS IT TRUE we were told that State Representative Ryan Hatfield spent a bunch of money from his campaign coffers to help elect Democratic City Council candidates in the recent city election? …we are also told that former Mayor Jonathon Weinzapfel who is employed by the current Vanderburgh County Commission law firm Jones And Wallace is trying to leverage his political influence in order to get his firm hired as the next Evansville City Council legal counsel?  …that members of  City Council have two well-qualified choices to choose from as legal counsel for 2020?

IS IT TRUE we are told by extremely reliable sources that former Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel may be launching a bid to unseat the embattled Indiana Republican Attorney General, Curtis Hill? …if Mr. Weinzapfel decides to take on Attorney General, Curtis Hill we predict that this race shall turn into a real political dog fight?

IS IT TRUE that according to CCO Mole #41 the search for a new CEO down at the Evansville Convention and Visitors Bureau has taken a strange turn that could cause some credibility or legal problems for the committee conducting the search? …CCO Mole #41 and other members of the Mole Nation tell the City-County Observer that a loyal and talented 17 year CVB employee has floated the idea of applying for the position and may have been discouraged to the point of being denied an opportunity to even apply for the job?…years ago the Evansville Convention and Visitors Bureau learn the discrimination lesson the hard way and had to pony up a big check for an alledged discriminatory indiscretion and if they don’t watch it they may be heading down that path again?…that an agency in a town that puts the words “E Is For Everyone” on every billboard and park bench insight should have the good sense to be inclusive in their job interviewing and hiring procedures?

IS IT TRUE that the newly elected Democratic Governor of Kentucky campaigned to enhancing the Kentucky gaming laws so it allows race track to offer poker, roulette and cards, and slots?  …we respectfully suggest that the Indiana State officials better start amending Indiana State laws so it will allow Indiana Casinos Sportsbook to offer horse racing simulcast betting?  …if they don’t the Kentucky gaming establishments are going to eat the Indiana Casinos lunch?

IS IT TRUE over the last six months we have been approached by several people to do a printed edition of a Sunday paper? …when the City-County Observer first started publishing many years ago we produced a printed edition once a week for a couple of years and always made an honorable profit?  … we must confess that we are taking a serious look at doing this?

IS IT TRUE that our “Readers Poll” is considered to be non-scientific but trendy? …one of our recent polls asked: “Do you think the Republicans will take control of the 2020 City Council”?  …our readers voted 159 YES, 197 voted N0 and 59 people said they didn’t know? …it looks like our readers got it right?

IS IT TRUE our readers also picked the following winners in the Evansville City Council races:  Jim Brinkmeyer in 6th Ward, Justin Elpers in the 5th Ward, Alex Burton in the 4th Ward, Zack Hermounous in the 3rd Ward, Missy Mosby in the 2nd Ward, and Ben Trockman in the 1st Ward?  …our readers picked the following winners in the At-Large City Council races: Ron Beane, Jonathan Weaver, and Katitian Morley?  …not bad pickings for a non-scientific but trendy City County Observer “Readers Polls”?  …we give five (5) cheers to the City-County Observers readers for their amazing election day predictions?

IS IT TRUE we predict that County Commissioners Ben Shoulders and Cheryl Musgrave will both be running for re-election?  …we are told that Ms. Musgrave will have at least two primary election opponents and Mr. Shoulders will have none?

IS IT TRUE that Evansville At-Large City Councilwoman Michelle Mercher is retiring after one term?  …Michelle is known for thinking outside the political box”?  …she worked tirelessly for the citizens of Evansville?  …she is honest and very personable? …from time to time we respectfully disagreed with Ms. Mercher’s political decisions?   …she always stuck by her guns and voted her conscience? …we wish her well?

IS IT TRUE our golfing “Moles” predicts that Wesselman Par 3 Golf Course will be declared surplus property by the Evansville Parks Board and that this property will become a part of Roberts Park’s future development?

Today’s “Readers Poll” question is: Do you feel that the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Coliseum in downtown Evansville should be turned into a Military Museum?

Commentary: Those Were The Days, My Friend

0

By John Krull
TheStatehouseFile.com 

INDIANAPOLIS – The years melt away.

The three of us – two old buddies from my newspaper days and me — sit in my kitchen and sip Scotch and bourbon as the night chills and deepens. Earlier, we grilled some steaks and brussels sprouts and caught up with each others’ lives.

Once we spent a lot of time together. We weren’t young then, but we weren’t old, either. We were in our 30s, that scrambling decade when people build their careers.

And their lives.

We worked long hours for a dying afternoon newspaper, The Indianapolis News, and loved it. Will and I were reporters and writers for the paper. Rich was a photographer. The job was all about deadlines, about turning out in tight frames words and pictures that made stories come to life.

We managed the stress by working out. We’d run over our lunch hours and shower in a newspaper washroom that somehow had escaped the Environmental Protection Agency’s attention before returning to our labors. We’d do even longer runs on the weekends, pounding our way over dirt trails in the early morning hours, then scarfing down cheap breakfasts and coffee while we traded stories and jokes.

Those were good days, and they passed as good days always do.

Too fast.

We had no idea then, more than 20 years ago, the huge changes that awaited the news business. We just knew that we were three guys who were living their lives and doing work that mattered. We were guys who got to tell the tale.

But then years passed.

Life happened.

Marriages came along and, in some cases, ended. Fathers all, we saw children grow to maturity.

And we all left the newspaper business.

I was the first, leaving a little more than 20 years ago. Rich followed a decade later. Will hung it up earlier this year.

Now we’re three old guys on either side of 60, sitting in a kitchen, reconnecting. We haven’t gotten to see each other much these past years, so there’s a lot of ground to cover.

But it comes easy.

We sit, we sip our drinks and we share our stories, savoring each. We talk about joys. We talk about disappointments. We talk about friends going through hard times. We talk about friends going through good times. We talk about friends who have died.

And we shake our heads in mourning.

Two of us can’t really run anymore. The one who can run does it a lot slower than he used to. We’ve all been subject to the aches and ailments that accompany the passage of time.

We marvel at how quickly we moved from being young Turks to becoming elder statesmen.

But then we smile at old memories. We trade old jokes. We tease each other in familiar ways. We talk with fondness about landmarks from our past that have disappeared. We reminisce about the deep, even sweeping, alterations in the landscapes of our lives.

We laugh, far into the night.

Then it’s time to say farewells.

After warm hand clasps and a few last affectionate jibes and cracks, my buddies step out into the dark and cold and go home. We all head back to our lives.

I find myself lingering at the front door after they’ve left, thinking about the days when the three of us ran together. What a gift those times were.

There is so much about this world that shifts and moves. So much that is dear to us disappears or just goes away. So often, the ground beneath our feet quakes and pitches.

So many things change.

Thank God some things don’t.

Liberals In Congress HATE President Trump And Have Been Working To Impeach Him From Day One

0
Fellow Hoosier,

Liberals in Congress HATE President Trump and have been working to impeach him from day one – I’m working to ensure your voice is heard and the President is treated fairly.


Here is a quick update on what is happening in Washington, DC:

  • Speaker Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. The impeachment inquiry was put forward without a formal vote on the Floor of the House and is being rushed through the process at breakneck speed.
  • House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Democrat Adam Schiff, is running the main impeachment inquiry effort. He has begun investigating without disclosing that his office met with the whistleblower prior to filing the complaint. I believe he should recuse himself from the inquiry immediately.
  • Former US Ambassador Kurt Volker confirmed in sworn testimony to the House Intelligence Committee that there was no quid-pro-quo regarding the call between the US and Ukrainian Presidents.
  • Liberals in Washington should ask themselves: “if this is truly the right thing to do, why don’t we vote on the House Floor to formally open an investigation?”

They know this is a partisan sham and the goal is simply to impeach the President as fast as possible.

Here is a quick update on what is NOT happening in Washington, DC:

  • Passing legislation that will help the American people. Liberals are so preoccupied with impeaching the President, they have completely neglected to flight for you and your values.
    • Not working on the USMCA trade deal with our North American partners
    • Not working to strengthen our border security
    • Not growing our economy
    • Not lowering the cost of prescription drug prices

I’m here fighting for you – as always, don’t hesitate to let me know how I can serve you better.
In service,
Larry Bucshon signature
