A MESSAGE OF COMFORT TO OLIVER “OLLIE” DILL’S FAMILY
OLIVER “OLLIE” DILL a precious little boy will live in the hearts and minds of many of us for years to come. We have never had the honor or privilege of meeting him but today he has gone home to live in the loving arms of God.
Today Oliver “Ollie” Dill is starting a new adventure in heaven and he’s got things to do and people to see. He will observe unimaginable things that we couldn’t even begin to fathom such streets of gold, beautiful sunsets, people laughing, dancing, rejoicing and people living in harmony and peace. Most importantly he will meet his maker and rejoice in all things good.
This beautiful, innocent little boy was a living example of love, peace and joy. God’s plan is greater than ours and God needed him more than we did.
Starting today he will never have any worries, feel sadness, loss or pain. This isn’t the end for Oliver “Ollie” Dill but is only the beginning. He’s now watches over the people he loves with joyful anticipation when they can all meet again.
May the pain and sorrow that we feel now will last only for a short while and it will quickly turn into beautiful memories of Oliver “Ollie” Dill that will last a lifetime.
Please join us today at 11:00 am in a moment of silence in tribute to the memory of OLIVER “OLLIE” DILL.  We also hope that you will also join us in praying for members of the Dill family in hope that that one day soon they will be able to find peace and joy once again.

Indiana University diver Andrew Capobianco, along with teammate Katrina Young, won bronze for Team USA in the mixed team diving event at the 2019 FINA World Championships on Tuesday.

Capobianco and Young combined for a score of 357.60 to win the bronze medal for Team USA. China won gold with a score of 416.65, while Russia took silver with a total of 390.05.

The team event involves two divers – one male and one female – who will perform three dives apiece. All six groups of dives must be represented, and each diver must perform at least one dive from the 3-meter and one from the 10-meter. Both divers also are required to do one dive with a degree of difficulty of 2.0.

After combining to score an 80.00 on the duo’s first dive – 201B with a difficulty of 2.0 – the Americans found themselves in 15th place.

Capobianco and Young then catapulted up the leaderboard on the team’s second round of dives, scoring a 141.80 to move into fourth place.

In the final round, Capobianco and Young posted a combined total of 135.80 to surpass the Malaysian team to win bronze.

 

Old National Bank Foundation Awards Ivy Tech Community College $500,000 Grant To  Prepare High School Students

0

Old National Bank Foundation (ONBF) has awarded Ivy Tech Community College a $500,000 grant to be shared across several Indiana communities over five years. ONBF’s intent with this donation is to use the funding for innovative programs that enhance the quality of life within the communities they serve. The announcement was made today at a news conference at Ivy Tech.

Beginning in August, Ivy Tech Evansville, in partnership with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, will roll out Pathways Plus as a way to prepare high school students for high-wage, high-demand careers that exist in our communities by allowing them to complete a college degree by the time they graduate from high school. Pathways Plus builds on the many dual credit courses already offered in the high schools and the Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center by combining them with dual enrollment courses offered at Ivy Tech to intentionally provide career pathways that can lead to a college credential. 

Ivy Tech Evansville Chancellor Jonathan Weinzapfel, said, “Pathways Plus provides an intentional college pathway for high school students, plus the opportunity to earn a college certificate, technical certificate or degree; plus the opportunity to prepare skilled employees for the workforce; plus an opportunity to use those credits to continue their college education.” 

The initiative will begin with the EVSC’s Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center (which includes students from North and South Gibson, Warrick, Vanderburgh, Posey and the southern half of Spencer counties) and EVSC high schools. Other high school career pathways are being developed in the surrounding counties for potential Spring and Fall 2020 starts.

The Old National Bank Foundation grant will help fund dual enrollment classes taken by high school students that lead to a college completion, as well as additional College Connection Coaches who work closely with students to counsel, guide, and assist them in career exploration and college enrollment. The coaches will also help EVSC increase enrollment of middle school students in the 21st Century Scholars Program – which provides a free college education to those who qualify. 

“Old National Bank is focused on developing partnerships with organizations dedicated to leveraging opportunities that serve low- to moderate-income individuals in order to develop our workforce, improve achievement gains and build skills and knowledge,” said Jim Sandgren, President and Chief Operating Officer for Old National Bank. “We are proud to partner with Ivy Tech Community College to strengthen our communities through initiatives with meaningful impact.”

“Ultimately, our vision is that every high school student graduates with a college credential. This will create great career opportunities, help to solve our employers’ shortage of a skilled workforce, and give our young people the opportunity to make a decent living, raise a family and contribute back to our community,” Chancellor Weinzapfel said. “Old National’s grant will also assist Ivy Tech in helping make college affordable for families,” he added. 

Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation Superintendent David Smith said partnerships can provide opportunities for students and the community. “We are excited for another opportunity to collaborate with both the public and private sector to provide even more opportunities for all EVSC students. It is through partnerships like these that help us to continue the OptIN mission to introduce, explore, and prepare EVSC students for all pathways leading to high-wage, high-demand career opportunities that are paired with student interest, abilities, skills and knowledge.”

Jacksonville Florida Icemen Announce New Local Ownership

(Ron Geary Transfers Ownership to Andrew Kaufmann)

JACKSONVILLE, FL – The Jacksonville Icemen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets and AHL’s Manitoba Moose, announced Tuesday that El Acquisitions, a group led by Ron Geary has sold the Icemen organization to SZH Hockey LLC led by Jacksonville resident Andrew Kaufmann and includes Icemen President Bob Ohrablo. Tuesday’s announcement wasmade during a press conference hosted by the JAX Chamber in downtown Jacksonville.

“I want to thank Ron Geary and our past partners for sharing my vision for hockey inJacksonville.” said Icemen President and Alternate Governor Bob Ohrablo. “From thebeginning, our priority was to have a team locally owned. The addition of Andy Kaufmann completes that vision and we are excited what Andy brings to the Icemenorganization and to the region.”

Kaufmann now becomes the CEO and Governor of the Icemen.

“My family and I are excited about working with the Icemen organization,” saidKaufmann. “We look forward to growing Icemen Nation to new heights in the years to come. My role will be serving as a steward for what is the community’s team.”

Kaufmann is a successful entrepreneur and businessman who started in his family business (Revere Supply Company, a manufacturer of marine survival products) while in high school, working for his dad and compensated with baseball cards. After graduating Emerson College and a stint at Radio Disney in Boston, he moved back to New Jersey and assumed full responsibilities of business operations in 2001.

In 2010, Kaufmann acquired UST Brands. He spearheaded and oversaw all aspects of this venture which became a leading provider of high-quality survival and camping equipment with distribution nationally through such retail giants as Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, West Marine, Advance Auto Parts and Meijer. Through Kaufmann’s leadership, Walmart quickly recognized and ultimately sold UST.

After selling UST Brands, he acquired Majority Ownership of the Fort Myers Miracle Baseball team (Single A) on January 8th, 2019. Andy determined that his next business would be a long-term family business where he can teach what he knows to his two sons as they grow.

He decided to combine two of his lifelong passions, business and sports. Andy, his wife Farah and their sons Sawyer and Zachary live and are very active in the Jacksonville community recognized and ultimately sold UST.

The Icemen will open their third season of competition in the ECHL at home on October 12 against Greenville.

“On behalf of the League, I’d like to thank Ron Geary for bringing the team to Jacksonville and giving the community the chance to experience ECHL hockey,” said ECHL Commissioner Ryan Crelin. “With the success of the Icemen and their fan base, I look forward to even more growth with the excitement and energy that Andy is going to bring to the team, as well as his local presence in the community.”

Last week the League approval of the sale followed negotiations between Ron Geary of El Acquisitions and Andrew Kaufmann were managed by Tommy George and The Sports Advisory Group. The Sports Advisory Group represents clients in the sale and acquisition of professional sports franchises, providing services to current sports team owners, prospective team owners and investors, management companies, league administrators, municipalities and venue operators

Justices Reverse Conviction Over Incomplete Advisement Forms

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

A Knox County man had his misdemeanor conviction overturned after the Indiana Supreme Court found he did not validly waive his right to a jury trial.

Mohamed Dadouch was found guilty at a bench trial of a Class A misdemeanor domestic battery. He had signed two separate advisement of rights forms, but when he filed motions to continue the trial date and set the case for a jury trial, the Knox Superior Court denied the request for a jury trial as untimely.

Dadouch’s counsel argued he had asked his prior counsel to request a jury trial but no demand was filed. The attorney speculated there may have been a “linguistic barrier.”

Again, the court denied the request for a jury trial and set a date for a bench trial. At the start of that hearing, Dadouch renewed his demand for a jury to hear his case, but the court proceeded with the bench trial and found him guilty.

The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction in a memorandum decision filed March 14, 2019.

However, the Indiana Supreme Court took a closer look at the two advisement forms and found neither completely explained the rights defendants charged with misdemeanors have to demand a jury trial.

In particular, neither form advised Dadouch he had to file for a jury trial no later than 10 days before the scheduled trial date, and that failure to file would automatically waive his right. Also, by the time he signed the second advisement form, the deadline to request a jury trial had passed.

The Supreme Court granted transfer and in a per curiam decision reversed Dadouch’s conviction in Mohamed M Dadouch v. State of Indiana, 19S-CR-404. Noting they agreed with the Court of Appeals that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction, the justices pointed out the state is free to retry the defendant.

Also, the justices offered some advice to trial courts handling misdemeanor cases.

“While it is not required that trial judges use a written advisement of rights form in misdemeanor cases, it is the best practice and we urge all trial judges to incorporate an accurate one into their practices,” the Supreme Court wrote. “The very best practice in these cases is to use both a written advisement of rights form together with the dialogue to insure that a reversal does not occur.”

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB” JULY 17, 2019

16

“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.
