New Harmony Native Receives State’s Highest Honor

0
by Wendy McNamara
Dr. George Rapp, a native of New Harmony, recently received the 2019 Sachem Award, the state’s highest honor, during a ceremony at the Indiana State Museum.

The Sachem is given annually to recognize a lifetime of excellence and moral virtue that has brought credit and honor to Indiana.

Dr. Rapp’s service to our community and our state is immeasurable, and he is fully deserving of this award. As an orthopedic surgeon practicing for over 35 years, Dr. Rapp dedicated his life to helping his fellow man, and his efforts have made a difference for countless Hoosiers and beyond.

He has been a medical pioneer, champion of education and supporter of the arts throughout his life.

I am pleased to recognize Dr. Rapp for receiving the state’s highest honor, and I thank him for his service.

Stephen Owens to Retire in December

0

After a distinguished career advocating for strong public defense, Stephen T. Owens, Public Defender of Indiana, is retiring. The Indiana Supreme Court-appointed Mr. Owens to the position in June 2011. Chief Justice Loretta Rush appreciates Owens’ decades of public service, “Steve gave a voice to those asking for a review of their case and because of his dedication to that step, our system includes fairness for all.”

Owens came to the State Public Defender’s Office in 1986. He was named the Assistant Chief Deputy of Personnel in 1987. He is a graduate of Illinois College and the University of Dayton. Under his leadership, the Office reviewed thousands of cases, advocated for sentence reductions for clients, and improved services for juveniles. Mr. Owens said, “It has been an honor to work at the State Public Defender’s Office for over 33 years. During those decades, I worked with many accomplished attorneys and staff who were equally committed to representing the rights of indigent defendants. I am privileged to have dedicated my career to this essential office in Indiana’s justice system.”

The Public Defender of Indiana is a state-funded Judicial Branch agency that provides representation to indigent incarcerated individuals (including certain juveniles) in post-conviction relief cases to assure the fundamental fairness of the criminal justice system. It provides services in all capital cases. The Office receives about 500 requests from inmates each year asking for their case to be reviewed. The Public Defender is appointed by the Indiana Supreme Court. Details on the process for selecting Owens’ successor will be announced soon.

Owensboro Man Arrested after Early Morning Chase

0

 

Warrick County – Early this morning at approximately 3:10, Trooper Otolski was patrolling in the area of Bell Road and SR 261 when he observed the driver of a white Ford F150 pickup truck fail to signal. Trooper Otolski activated his emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver accelerated north on SR 261 and then turned east onto Robin Hill into South Broadview subdivision. The driver turned off the vehicle’s headlights and disregarded several stop signs before finally stopping on Oak Lawn west of Lenn Road. The driver exited the vehicle and was arrested without further incident. The driver was identified as Adam Rankin, 49, of Owensboro, KY. Warrick County Sheriff’s Deputy Spaulding and his K-9 arrived to assist. While walking around the vehicle the K-9 alerted to the presence of narcotics inside the vehicle. A search revealed two bottles containing meth. Rankin was transported to the Warrick County Jail where he is currently being held on bond.

Arrested and Charges:

  • Adam Rankin, 49, Owensboro, KY
  • Resisting Law Enforcement, Class 6 Felony
  • Possession of Methamphetamine, Class 5 Felony

Otters tie franchise record with 57th win

0
The Evansville Otters picked up their fourth straight win Friday as the Otters beat the Southern Illinois Miners 4-1 to tie a franchise record with their 57th win this season.

With two games remaining, the Otters will have an opportunity to surpass the franchise’s single season wins mark that was previously set in 2014.

 

With the win, the Otters also eliminated the Miners from postseason contention, clinching a postseason berth for the River City Rascals.

 

Otters starting pitcher Tyler Beardsley set the tone from the mound on Friday, outdueling the Frontier League’s Pitcher of the Year in the Miners’ Chase Cunningham.

 

Evansville earned an early tally against Cunningham in the first inning. Keith Grieshaber singled and scored on Ryan Long’s RBI double to give the Otters a 1-0 lead.

 

Beardsley would cruise through the first five innings with one run of support behind him, allowing only two hits and retiring seven batters in a row from the third to the fifth innings.

 

The Otters tacked on their second run on a two-out RBI double from Elijah MacNamee to score David Cronin, extending the Otters’ lead to two.

 

Southern Illinois’ Kirvin Moesquit led off the bottom of the sixth inning reaching third base an Otters’ error. Mosequit would come around to score on a sac fly from Yeltsin Gudino to cut the Otters’ lead in half.

 

In the top of the seventh, Rob Calabrese led off with a huge solo home run, recording his 10th homer of the season, putting the Otters’ advantage back to two at 3-1.

 

With two outs in the seventh, Cunningham was pulled, going 6.2 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits with a walk and four strikeouts. He earned the loss, dropping his record to 10-5. He finishes with the most innings pitched, wins, and strikeouts in the Frontier League.

 

Beardsley pitched into the eighth, and after a 13-pitch walk to Kirvin Moesquit, Beardsley was pulled with two outs. He finished with 7.2 innings pitched, allowing only three hits and an unearned run with five strikeouts. He earned his ninth win of the season, improving to 9-5.

 

Drew Beyer came on in relief and pitched 1.1 scoreless innings to earn his first save of the season.

 

The Otters’ magic number to clinch a West Division title is at one. A win by the Otters or a Florence Freedom loss on Saturday would clinch the division and the top spot for the Otters as Evansville owns the tiebreaker over Florence, and the Freedom do not play on Sunday.

 

The Otters are seeking to win their first Frontier League division title since 1999.

 

First pitch Saturday is at 6:05 p.m. CT from Rent One Park in Marion, Ill.

Team Meeting and Training
Tuesday, September 3rd

New and experienced Neighborhood Leaders who reside in the city limits of Evansville will have the opportunity to pick up their updated list of Democratic households. We are asking Neighborhood Leaders to speak to their list of voters once before early voting begins: October 8. 

The Neighborhood Leader Program of the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party is our get-out-the-vote, grassroots program. We train volunteers to be Neighborhood Leaders in their very own neighborhoods. These volunteers do voter outreach canvasses, speaking only to Democratic voters who live in 35-40 houses close to theirs. The mission is to elect Democratic candidates. Neighborhood Leaders also distribute printed materials such as slate cards, candidate campaign materials and informational materials about voter registration. We encourage our Neighborhood Leaders to get to know the voters on their lists and to keep going back to visit them election after election to keep their voters’ interest high and their ballots being cast. Extensive research shows that this is the very best way to turn out our Democratic voters. To sign up to become a Neighborhood Leader or ask questions about our program call 252-619-8849.

Leadership training program announces second class to take part in initiative aimed at preparing women for influential roles in public and private sectors

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 6, 2019 – Twenty-four (24) Democratic women from across Indiana – a diverse group with impressive and varied backgrounds – have been selected for Hoosier Women Forward’s (HWF) second class. Launched just last year, the Hoosier Women Forward leadership program is aimed at preparing and propelling Democratic women into influential roles in the public and private sectors.

“We were so pleased to see so many distinguished and determined women from across our state apply this year,” said HWF Board Chair Shannon Mears. “It’s exciting to see that there is so much interest in our program, and that we are truly building a network of active Democratic women in Indiana.”

“The group reflects the diversity – geographic, racial, religious and more – that makes our state and country so strong, and a key element of the HWF program,” said Amy Levander, HWF Executive Director. “Not only will they learn from one another, but will be exposed to speakers, topics and experiences that will shape their personal and professional lives going forward.”

A Section 527 nonprofit political organization, HWF raises funds through private donations and fundraising events.

On September 20th, HWF will honor its second class during a fundraising luncheon at 11:30 a.m. at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in Indianapolis.

To learn more about HWF, you can go to www.hoosierwomenforward.org, or visit the organization on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
