Todd Young’s Bill Would Bar Those Under 21 From Buying Tobacco Products

INDIANAPOLIS –– Indiana Sen. Todd Young said now is the time to act to stop teens from smoking, as more reports of cases of lung illnesses with links to the use of e-cigarettes rise.

Young’s legislation in Congress, the Tobacco 21 Act, would prohibit the sale of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to anyone under the age of 21. Current law allows anyone over the age of 18 to purchase tobacco products.

Multiple news outlets have recently reported that across 14 states there have been almost 100 cases of lung illnesses a linked to vaping e-cigarettes, many involving teens and young adults.

 

Young, a Republican, said in an interview Tuesday that he believes these reports show the urgency to pass this act. 

“I’m hearing now more than ever that we have to act now. We have a nationwide epidemic on our hands,” Young said.

He added that between 2017 and 2018 there was nearly an 80% increase in e-cigarette usage among high school students, and 95% of smokers begin smoking before the age of 21.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that approximately 4.9 million middle and high school students across the nation used some type of tobacco product last year, particularly e-cigarettes and vaping. 

“This is as serious as a public health crisis as you can have. Especially because we are talking about our state’s children,” Young said.

He said raising the age from 18 to 21 won’t outright solve the issue of young people smoking, but changing the law will help the cause. 

“When I was born, it was fashionable in a lot of circles to use tobacco products, and over the course of my very short lifetime, we’ve been able to reverse that trend,” Young said. “With the increase in e-cigarette and vaping usage … the real risk here is we’re going to begin to normalize a behavior that had been for a generation, regarded as harmful.”

Young held a press conference Monday with Teens for Tobacco 21, a student organization at Floyd Central High School in Floyds Knobs, Indiana. The students involved spoke out against the use of tobacco, including sophomore Myla Tissandier.

“We appreciate the efforts that Sen. Young and his team are taking to make ‘T21’ a federal issue and encourage them to make the legislation a reality, so my generation’s future doesn’t have to go up in smoke,” Tissandier said in a statement Monday.

Advocates for the change in the law sit on both sides of the aisle in Congress, Young said, with Democrat Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii signed on as a co-author and support from the majority leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. 

The act will likely be added into larger legislation in the U.S. Senate that will address other public health concerns before going to a full vote as early as September, Young said.

2019 “Pig Book” Exposes $15.3 Billion in Pork

2019 “Pig Book” Exposes $15.3 Billion in Pork

“The little pink book Washington doesn’t want you to read” is back! Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) released the 2019 Congressional Pig Book at a recent news conference on Capitol Hill alongside Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Reps. Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.). Also in attendance were CAGW’s mascots, “PigFoot” and “Pig Spender,” and a live pot-bellied pig named Faye.

CAGW unearthed 282 earmarks costing taxpayers $15.3 billion in the appropriations bills funding the federal government in fiscal year (FY) 2019. The cost is more than half of the record of $29 billion in earmarks set 13 years ago – an ominous uptick in congressionally-directed, special interest spending. This also marks the seventh time that members of Congress violated the earmark moratorium adopted in FY 2011 in order to waste vital taxpayer dollars on parochial and non-essential pet projects.

Among the egregious examples of pork-barrel waste highlighted in the 2019 Pig Book are $13.8 million to manage wild horses and burros, $9 million to quarantine fruit flies, and $863,000 to eradicate brown tree snakes in Guam.

Television news coverage of the 2019 Pig Book has included interviews on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” FOX Business Network’s “After the Bell,” and FOX News Channel’s “Outnumbered Overtime with Harris Faulkner,” as well as local network news coverage in 35 states.

The 2019 Pig Book has also resulted in numerous articles in print and online, including June 12’s top story on FOXNews.com and articles in The Daily Caller, Las Vegas Review-Journal, and Washington Examiner. In addition, CAGW President Tom Schatz authored an opinion piece on the Pig Book that appeared on FOXBusiness.com, and Cal Thomas highlighted the Pig Book in his nationally syndicated column, which appears in more than 500 newspapers across the country.

CAGW has named New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) Porker of the Month for enacting a “Mini-Green New Deal” in her state. In March, Gov. Lujan Grisham signed the Energy Transition Act into law, which mandates that New Mexico’s electricity grid be completely carbon-free by 2045. The law will likely cost New Mexico citizens billions. According to a University of Chicago study, mandating “a certain percentage of the state’s electricity come from renewable sources” increases electricity prices by 17 percent, and “consumers in the 29 states studied had paid $125.2 billion more for electricity.” Worse yet, these policies “are inefficient in reducing carbon emissions.” Responding to the bill’s passage, CAGW President Tom Schatz said, “The radical Green New Deal would bankrupt the country if it were adopted nationally, and this pint-sized version in New Mexico threatens that state with the very same fiscal calamity.” For trying to impose a problematic “Mini-Green New Deal,” Gov. Lujan Grisham is the June Porker of the Month. Read more about the Porker of the Month.

More Retail Stores Are Expected To Close In 2019

Business Insider/Jessica Tyler

The staggering rate of store closures that have rocked the retail industry over the past couple of years is expected to continue in 2019, with roughly the same level of closures expected this year.
Retailers closed a record 102 million square feet of store space in 2017, then smashed that record in 2018 by closing another 155 million square feet, according to estimates by the commercial real-estate firm CoStar Group.  “This year we are predicting more of the same in the retail space,” CoStar senior consultant Drew Myers said.

Retailers have announced more than 8,000 store closures so far this year, according to an analysis by Business Insider.

USI Men’s Soccer Team Projected To Place Fourth In The Great Lakes Valley Conference

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer team is projected to place fourth in the Great Lakes Valley Conference in 2019 in a vote by the league’s 16 head coaches. USI, the all-time leader with 10 GLVC titles, is coming off a 2018 GLVC regular season championship after posting a 13-4-1 overall record and an 11-1-1 GLVC mark.

The GLVC regular season will feature a 15-match, round-robin schedule based on eight pairs of travel partners. The regular season champion, along with the next seven best teams based on Conference winning percentage, will earn a berth to the eight-team GLVC Men’s Soccer Championship Tournament. The top four seeds will host on campus November 10 with the winners advancing to the Woehrle Athletic Complex in Jeffersonville, Indiana, for the semifinals and finals on Nov. 15 and 17.

Bellarmine collected 210 total points for the top spot in the GLVC Men’s Soccer Preseason Poll and was receiving votes last week in the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division II Preseason Rankings. USI, who was the top seed in the NCAA II Midwest Regional last fall, also received votes for the USC NCAA II Preseason poll.

The 2019 USI squad is comprised of 30 players – 20 returning players and redshirts and 10 newcomers. The Eagles have nine seniors and 11 fourth-year players on the team this season, compared to one a year ago.

The top returning scorer for USI is senior midfielder Sean Rickey (Columbia, Illinois), the D2SIDA Midwest Region and GLVC Offensive Player of the Year led USI with 28 points on 11 goals and six assists. Rickey also was named second-team All-American by D2SIDA.

Second on the team in scoring was senior forward Eric Ramirez (Vincennes, Indiana), who is a two-time All-Region and All-GLVC honoree. Ramirez posted 18 points on eight goals and two assists.

USI opens the 2019 regular season on the road, traveling to Northern Michigan University September 5 and Northwood University September 8. The first home game of 2019 is September 15 when the Eagles open the GLVC campaign.

COWBOY UP!

COWBOY UP!

By Jim Redwine

Before October 4, 1957 when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1 American boys knew who they admired and what they wanted to be, cowboys. From the days of Hoot Gibson and Tom Mix to Hopalong Cassidy and the Durango Kid until Gene Autry and Roy Rogers boys of all backgrounds dreamed the same dream. Then America watched as our global boogeyman leapfrogged over us and put us in fear of destruction from above. Cowboys’ six guns became obsolete and American boys, girls too, dreamed of being astronauts. John Glenn orbited the earth aboard a new fire-breathing steed and from 1957 until Clint Eastwood’s movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly that came out in 1966 during the throes of the Viet Nam War American boys left cowboys in the dust. However, since this is America, a sense of emergency and panic can only be maintained a short while before we revert to our roots.

As a one-time American boy I made the same progression. I fell back from my completely unrealistic dream of becoming a physicist to my only somewhat unrealistic, albeit subdued and hidden yearning, to be a cowboy. Returning to the days of Gene Autry was much easier than facing the reality that I will not be helping to settle Mars. However, the declining dreams of a young boy are themselves sometimes painful to reconstruct when one is separated from them by time. But the fates did recently allow me an opportunity to kind of revisit those thrilling days of yesteryear. I got to herd one cow.

Now, when I was playing cowboys and Indians with the neighborhood boys in Pawhuska, Osage County, Oklahoma in the 1950’s several of my friends were, in fact, real Indians and several of them were, in fact, the sons of real cowboys. Of course, since we boys had not yet had the advantage of adult myopia we were unaffected by the niceties of who was supposed to be what. We all were whatever the scenario we thought up called for. Alas, we grew up, sort of.

However, let me return to my recent opportunity to turn back the clock to the dreams of grade school days. When Peg and I bought a cabin in rural Osage County a few months ago we not only found a new home but also a new friend who was the prior owner and a real cowboy. How lucky was that? Anyway, Johnny runs some cattle on our place and those cattle are like the rest of us; they do not always stay put. Occasionally a cow will find its way out onto the public road. Such was the case yesterday. So, as my brother and I were heading to Bartlesville about 20 miles from our cabin to run errands for Peg, we encountered a large black cow with a white face happily munching on the right-of-way bluestem grass. I saw my chance to live that five-year-old boy’s dreams.

I jumped out of my pickup and approached that cow with a confidence that can only come from ignorance. As I got closer and closer to the bovine behemoth, instead of her fearing me as I anticipated she took the attitude of a large animal upset by someone interrupting her dinner. Having neither horse nor rope nor the ability to use either had I had them I retreated and called for backup on my cell phone.

“Johnny, it’s Jim. One of your cows is out.”

“Jim, I’m in Oklahoma City.”

“Johnny, what the devil do you want me to do?”

“Why, nothing Jim, unless you want to. I’ll be back in The Osage in a few hours and I’ll deal with it. This is cowboy work.”

Well, Johnny is obviously a true psychologist as that last statement cut deep into my boyhood psyche. I just clicked off my phone and girded my loins up about me as I ran towards Miss Bossie and waved my arms. Apparently she was so amused she decided to amble back into her pasture and I shut the gate behind her.

Now I know some of you Gentle Readers are probably thinking this event may not be quite as impressive as The Lone Ranger cleaning out a nest of rustlers. But to me it’s just a matter of degree. They both qualify for cowboy status. My dreams have finally come true. I’m going to buy a hat and boots and find a drugstore where I can prop my boots up on the bar rail, tip my hat back and sip a sarsaparilla.

Otters’ late rally leads to 50th win

0

Trailing 4-2 heading into the eighth inning Tuesday, the Evansville Otters rallied with four unanswered runs in the last two innings to earn a 6-4 win against the Southern Illinois Miners, leading to the Otters’ 50th win of the season.

With the win, the Otters moved a half game ahead of the Florence Freedom, who were idle Tuesday, in the Frontier League West Division standings.

In the series opener, the Miners struck first with a run in the bottom of the first inning when Taylor Sparks hit an RBI double to score Jamey Smart, who had reached on an error.

Otters starter Tyler Beardsley pitched two scoreless innings following that, seeing his offensive support tie the game at one in the fourth inning.

After Ryan Long walked and then advanced to third base on a single by Elijah MacNamee, first baseman Dakota Phillips delivered with the first of his three hits and his two RBIs on the night.

The Otters jumped ahead 2-1 in the top of the sixth on Long’s 14th home run of the season and added a league-leading 74th RBI.

Beardsley had done his part on the mound to keep the Otters in the game, retiring 11 straight batters until Yeltsin Gudino broke up the streak with a one-out single in the bottom of the sixth.

Then the Miners responded with two runs to retake the lead. With runners on first and second, Kyle Davis doubled to score Gudino, but then the Otters’ second error of the night allowed Smart to score from first base.

Southern Illinois starter Chase Cunningham would exit the game after the top of the seventh, allowing only two runs on seven hits while tossing five strikeouts. He would end up with a no-decision.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Miners received a sac fly by Jarrod Watkins to double the Otters’ run total with a 4-2 advantage.

Beardsley also finished his night on the bump after seven innings, surrendering four runs – three earned – with no walks and seven strikeouts. He also took a no-decision.

The Otters then made their late statement in the last two innings.

Evansville brought the game back within one in the top of the eighth when Taylor Lane came through with a ground rule double to score Long.

Otters reliever Drew Beyer conquered his task of keeping the Otters within one run by pitching a scoreless eighth inning.

Down 4-3 to begin the ninth, the top three batters in the Otters’ lineup in David Cronin, Keith Grieshaber, and Long all walked to load the bases with no outs.

After a pitching change by the Miners, MacNamee also walked to score Cronin, tie the game at four, and advance the other runners to keep the bases loaded.

The next batter was Phillips, who tallied his second RBI on a sac fly to score Grieshaber as the go-ahead run and giving the Otters a 5-4 lead.

Then Lane recorded his second RBI on a single that scored Long and provided the Otters a little breathing room with a 6-4 lead going to the bottom of the ninth.

Taylor Wright closed out the game in the bottom of the ninth to seal the win for the Otters, picking up his 14th save of the season.

Evansville’s Beyer was credited with the win, and Southern Illinois’ Heath Renz was dealt the loss after blowing the save opportunity in the ninth.

In five plate appearances, Long was 1-2 with a home run, three walks, and four runs scored.

MacNamee, Phillips, and Lane all had multi-hit games, each earning at least one RBI.

MacNamee went 3-4 with three singles and an RBI walk, Phillips was 3-4 with two singles, a double, and two RBIs, and Lane followed with a single, double, and two RBIs.

Tuesday was the Otters’ first win of the season when trailing after eight innings.
