“IS IT TRUE” JUNE 14, 2019

1

We hope that today’s “READERS FORUM” 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 for the last several months we have been predicting that Ellis Park will be sold to a New Mexico company? …that our sources tell us that next week the Kentucky Racing Commission will consider the sale of Ellis Park  to Laguna Development Corporation located in Albuquerque, New Mexico?  …that Laguna Development Corporation is in the casino, hotel, and restaurant business, but not in the horse racing business?  …when members of the mainstream media break the news about this sale next week please remember who announced it first?”

IS IT TRUE next week the Kentucky Racing Commission will meet to discuss the sale of Ellis Park? …we are told that the Kentucky Racing Commission will approve this sale contingent on the agreement that Saratoga Gaming of New York be responsible to run the upcoming “Live Racing Meet” at Ellis Park?  …this request by the Kentucky Racing Commission make sense because Laguna Development Corporation have never ran “LIVE HORSE RACING” meet at their establishment in New Mexico?

IS IT TRUE we are pleased to see that the new owners of Ellis Park are advancing the money to start the extensive renovation of the historic race track located in Henderson, Ky? …the track is beginning to look good?

IS IT TRUE the rumors are swirling on the Ellis Park backside that the owners of this historical track are considering building a first class Casino-Hotel next to the Highway in the near future?

IS IT TRUE we are also pleased  to hear that the  new owners of Ellis Park have hired law enforcement officers from the Henderson Police Department to monitor the activities of the less than desirable patrons that visit the gaming area very late in the evening?

IS IT TRUE we hope that the soon-to-owners of Ellis Park will start doing some extensive re-training of current employees to help them to become even more efficient and consumer friendly?  …we also hope that the new owners will consider giving some of current support staff an increase in pay because they are deserving?

IS IT TRUE we are told that many people appreciated that former Ellis Park CEO and owner of Ellis Park Ron Geary took time out of his busy daily schedule to meet and greet Ellis Park patrons throughout the day and evening?  …we are told that some patrons are hoping that the current CEO will start doing similar?

IS IT TRUE that the rate payers of the Evansville Water And Sewer Utitilies Department water rates will increase approximately 37 percent over the next three years.  …at this rate you will be able to purchase a gallon of Jack Daniels less than you pay for a gallon of water from the Evansville Water And Sewer Utilities Department?

IS IT TRUE according to the INDY STAR Greg Pence, a freshman congressman in Indiana and brother of Vice President Mike Pence, reported spending more than $7,600 in campaign funds on lodging at the Trump International Hotel in the first few months after his election in November, although lawmakers are supposed to pay for their own housing in Washington?

IS IT TRUE that another legacy restaurant in Evansville has closed it’s doors and this time it is The Kennel Club that has been a northside fixture for longer than most of our readers have been alive?…the closing of the Kennel Club comes roughly 15 years after the closing of the Petroleum Club which appealed to the same demographic that the Kennel Club did?…that particular demographic happens to be the well-heeled edge of the upper class group that also can be seen hanging out on private golf courses?…this particular demographic has been shrinking all over the United States and is probably not going to make a comeback?…there will be more shrinkage in places like the Kennel Club, the Petroleum Club and other places that appeals to an older groups?

IS IT TRUE according to the INDY STAR-HOOSIER POLITICS that Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett in 2017 pledged to “rehab, transform or demolish 2,000 homes within the next two years,” a goal Hogsett and his staff now claim to have surpassed?
 

IS IT TRUE A month long INDY STAR-HOOSIER POLITICS investigation found the effort, which Mayor Joe Hogsett pitched as a way to improve public safety, hasn’t targeted violent neighborhoods most in need of help and that the numbers include hundreds of new luxury apartments and existing homes that received little attention and sometimes remain uninhabitable?

Todays “Readers Poll’ question is: Are you pleased to hear that Saratoga Gaming of New York has sold Ellis Park to Laguna Development Corporation located in Albuquerque, New Mexico?

Evansville CNA Gets Probation For Slipping Anxiety Meds into Seniors’ Food

1

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

A Vanderburgh County nursing aid has been sentenced to more than two years of probation after slipping anxiety medication into the food of senior citizens she was charged with caring for.

Gloria Welborn, 52, will serve 820 days of probation and complete 100 hours of community service after pleading guilty to three counts of Level 6 felony neglect of a dependent, Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill announced Wednesday.

Hill’s office investigated and prosecuted Welborn after she was accused of administering clonazepam, an anxiety, panic disorder and seizure medication, to three residents at the Golden LivingCenter – Woodbridge in Evansville. The Schedule IV narcotic had been prescribed to Welborn but administered to three residents of the skilled nursing facility, S.M., J.C. and W.L.

As a certified nurse aide, or CNA, Welborn was not authorized to administer any medications to residents. However, she later told an investigator with Hill’s office that she had been “stressed” on July 9, 2017, the day she covertly gave the medication to the residents. S.M., J.C. and W.L. all had behavioral issues because of their medical conditions, and Welborn told investigators her patients were behaving disruptively on the day in question.

None of the residents suffered last negative consequences from the drug.

Welborn admitted her actions to Evelyn Jones, a licensed practical nurse also working at Golden LivingCenter that day. Jones later told investigators she did not immediately report Welborn’s actions because she thought the CNA was joking, but she reconsidered and informed the director of nursing on July 10. Subsequent blood tests confirmed Jones’ report.

Both Welborn and Jones were terminated on July 11. A case against Jones is currently pending in the Vanderburgh Circuit Court for her failure to timely report Welborn’s actions.

Like Welborn, Jones is charged with three counts of Level 6 felony neglect of a dependent that places the dependent in a situation that endangers the dependent. She is also charged with two counts of Class A misdemeanor interference with medical services. That case is State of Indiana v. Evelyn Jones, 82C01-1903-F6-002006.

Welborn was also charged with three counts of Class A misdemeanor interference with medical services, but all three charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement. The OAG recommended the 820-day suspended sentence in April, and Vanderburgh Circuit Judge Richard G. D’Amour entered judgment on Wednesday.

Welborn’s felony convictions can be converted to misdemeanors if she successfully completes her probation. The terms of Welborn’s probation include random drug testing and substance abuse treatment.

“Yet again, we are working to ensure that professionals in positions of trust are held accountable for their actions,” Hill said in a statement Thursday. “Further, we always appreciate the confidence placed in our office when local prosecutors enlist the services of our attorneys in criminal cases. Collaboration and partnerships are important keys to achieving positive results for Hoosiers.”

The case against Welborn is State of Indiana v. Gloria Welborn, 82C01-1902-F6-001065.

AG Curtis Hill Joins 16-State Coalition Supporting Expanded Health are Options

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill has joined a 16-state coalition supporting a Trump administration policy enabling self-employed people and those working for small businesses to participate in Association Health Plans (AHPs). Following an executive order by President Trump, the U.S. Department of Labor finalized the AHP rule in the summer of 2018.

AHPs provide access to quality, affordable health coverage to segments of the population that otherwise find it difficult to obtain such coverage. Earlier this year, however, a federal district court stated that aspects of the Department of Labor’s rule were unlawful.

This month, Attorney General Hill joined 13 other attorneys general and two governors expressing disagreement with that decision in an amicus brief filed with a federal appellate court in Washington D.C.

“The Department of Labor has followed the law in its efforts to promote affordability, choice, freedom and quality healthcare,” Attorney General Hill said. “The district court’s finding to the contrary should be reversed.”

The Congressional Budget Office has forecast that 4 million Americans — including 400,000 who are currently uninsured — will now enroll in AHPs to obtain insurance as a result of the new rule. Through AHPs, individuals can purchase insurance through the large-group market rather than the much more expensive small-group market.

“Leaders at all levels must promote innovative reform efforts by both the federal and state governments,” Attorney General Hill said. “At the federal level, several of the most encouraging reforms have occurred through regulatory rulemaking authority exercised by the Trump administration, such as the rule at issue here.”

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB” JUNE 14, 2019

17

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB”

“Right Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have two commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan’s comments are mostly about issues of national interest.  The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give Mr. Biden and Mr. Reagan exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “Left Jab” is a liberal view and the “Right Jab is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments of the two gentlemen is free to do so.
