Students Demand Action From Lawmakers To End Youth Gun Violence

0

INDIANAPOLIS — A blistering wind chill did little to dissuade dozens of Indiana students, teachers and others from rallying at the Indiana Statehouse Saturday, where people of all backgrounds demanded an immediate response to gun violence from their lawmakers.

The event, organized by We LIVE (Linked to Intercept Violence Everywhere) Inc., a student-led anti-violence group based out of Indianapolis, was the second of its kind. The inaugural event in 2018 resulted from a school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and the national March for Our Lives Movement.

 

Destiny Hatcher, 18, is a student at Warren Central High School and serves as executive director of We LIVE Inc. In the role, she led the mobilization effort behind the event alongside founding member Brandon Warren.

Warren started We LIVE Inc. after a Warren Central classmate died from the ongoing gun violence in his community. At the rally, he and Hatcher, alongside a lineup of guest speakers, noted the importance of addressing day-to-day violence among youth, not just school shootings.

“There are teens killing teens on the far-east side of Indianapolis where I reside,” Hatcher said. “Families are being affected. They need that awareness and they need that support.”

A central theme to the rally, however, did concern school shootings. A score of students indirectly or directly affected by the shooting at Noblesville West Middle School last year, in which a 13-year-old student shot his science teacher and a classmate, also voiced their demands for added restrictions on firearms.

Nolan Weaver, 15, took to the stage to describe his experience on the day of the shooting. He was in the eighth grade at the time.

Weaver played a recording of the automated phone call parents received from the school district that day, a time in which the teen thought he would never see his family again. His mother, he said, made multiple attempts to call him amidst the chaos, each unsure of what had occurred.

 

“I couldn’t hear her,” Weaver said, “because there were so many students crying on the school bus.”

In a separate speech to the crowd, Ball State University student Olivia Carlstedt spoke about the fear she had for her two siblings. On the day of the shooting, Carlstedt was a student at Noblesville High School. Her brother Gus, then in the 6th grade, and her sister Lucy, then in the 8th-grade class for special needs students, both sat through the confusion and panic of their community while their schools went on lockdown.

“To be put in the circumstance that my brother and sister were put into is unacceptable,” Carlstedt said. “On that day, I had never been more scared in my life.”

Carlstedt, alongside fellow Noblesville alumna and BSU student Katie Maudlin, founded their university’s first Students Demand Action chapter, a part of the national Everytown for Gun Safety movement. They are studying to become high school teachers and see their activism as critical to their future careers in education.

They, with other advocates in the state, hope to see policymakers expand background checks to prevent firearms from falling into the hands of potentially violent people.

Democrats in both chambers of Indiana’s legislature presented bills this session to enact universal background checks for any person who decides to purchase a firearm. However, neither proposal—Senate Bill 468 and House Bill 1291—received a committee hearing.

At the national level, members of Congress are considering the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. The measure would require universal background checks nationwide. While it passed out of the House of Representatives, a majority-Democrat chamber, the bill will face greater obstacles in the Republican-dominated U.S. Senate.

Ultimately, the protestors said, these decisions gamble with their lives.

“This fight isn’t one between Democrats and Republicans, blue versus red,” said Isabella Fallahi, a 15-year-old student from Carmel High School. “This is between money and life.”

Senators Mike Braun, Rick Scott Work To Implement a Permanent Lobbying Ban On Former Members of Congress

0

As former Members of Congress and elected officers are using their former positions to lobby Congress, today U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) and U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) are introducing the Banning Lobbying and Safeguarding Trust (BLAST) Act.

“One of the reasons I left the private sector for Washington was to help President Trump drain the swamp and we can accomplish this by permanently banning Congressmen and Senators from lobbying Capitol Hill,” said U.S. Senator Mike Braun.  “Together we can end the revolving door of career politicians coming to Washington, spending time in Congress, then enriching themselves from their service to the American people.”

Senator Rick Scott said, “I’m proud to introduce this bill that imposes a permanent ban on members of Congress becoming lobbyists. Rather than serving the public, too many in Washington spend their political careers preparing for a lucrative job at a DC lobbying firm where they can cash in on their connections and their access. Congress should  never serve as a training ground for future lobbyists, and putting an end to the revolving door is a common sense way to make Washington work for families.”

This legislation is a companion bill to legislation introduced by Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN-9), H.R.1145.

Startup Weekend Evansville 8.0 To Focus On Community Health Care

0

With an eye toward using innovation to make our area healthier, Startup Weekend Evansville (SWE) 8.0 will be held from Friday, April 12 through Sunday, April 14 in the newly-remodeled third floor of the Health Professions Center on the University of Southern Indiana campus.

Open regionally to students, faculty, staff and the community, Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event where developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products and launch startups. For this year’s event, SWE organizers have chosen to theme the event “Better Health Through Innovation,” and are asking participants to focus their ideas on ways to improve the health outcomes of Vanderburgh County and the surrounding area.

“Being the largest event of its kind in Indiana, we wanted to leverage this unique innovation platform that attracts a wide audience of aspiring entrepreneurs and innovation enthusiasts, and dial in that creativity to help solve some of our most pressing health care issues,” said Bryan Bourdeau, USI instructor in entrepreneurship and co-founder of Startup Weekend Evansville.

Despite being the seventh-largest county by population in Indiana, Vanderburgh County ranks 78th out of 92 counties for health outcomes and had a number of issues raised by the 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment. To provide solutions for improving this metric, participants will be asked to choose one of three “innovation buckets” and focus on solving a problem within that area during the weekend:

  • Behavioral Health: stigma, depression, suicide, dementia, substance abuse connection
  • Exercise/Nutrition: lifestyle, obesity, activity spaces, education, food insecurity
  • Information Technology/Data Analytics: need to improve local data, community feedback, information/communication options

Following final pitches on Sunday’s Demo Day presentation, a panel of judges will select the top two most plausible ideas for initial implementation in the Evansville community. Each project team selected by the judges will receive one year of secure web hosting from Lieberman Technologies and $3,000 in idea development funding, plus entry into the USI Eagle Innovation Accelerator Program.

SWE 8.0 is a collaboration among the USI Provost’s Office, USI Outreach and Engagement, and USI’s Romain College of Business and College of Nursing and Health Professions. “Understanding and managing conditions that can facilitate innovation in various domains is an essential strategy. Given the complexity of our most pressing health problems, developing effective solutions will require continuously greater collaboration among various disciplines,” said Dr. Kevin Celuch, USI Blair Chair of Business Science, professor of marketing and co-organizer of SWE 8.0.

Additional sponsors for the event include Vectren, Lieberman Technologies and the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville. Tickets for participation in the weekend-long event are $25. Members of the public who just want to watch final pitches, judging and awards can register for Sunday Demo Day tickets for $25, which includes a catered dinner.

Protecting Victims Of Revenge Porn

0
According to a recent study, nearly 1 in every 25 Americans fall victim to the exploitation of non-consensual pornography.
With technology, the distribution of intimate photos can be faster and more widespread than ever before, and doing so without consent has become known as “revenge porn.”
Under current state law, there are no criminal repercussions for distributing these images, which are often shared between consenting adults but can be used as blackmail during a relationship or when a relationship ends. Many legislators are taking action to protect those whose intimate photos are shared without their consent.
Legislation I supported would make it a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison for those who distribute intimate images of someone without their consent. For repeat offenders, charges would be enhanced to a Level 6 felony, with a maximum two-and-a-half-year prison sentence.
This action could ensure the privacy of Hoosiers is maintained, and Indiana would join 12 other states with similar “revenge porn” laws. This proposal is now moving to the Senate for consideration. To learn more, click here.

COA: Insurance Policy Terms Mean Suspended Driver Still Covered

0

Katie Stancombe for www.theindianawyer.com

A man whose driver’s license was suspended after crashing into a home will still receive coverage now that the Indiana Court of Appeals determined his insurer’s policy did not specifically say he could be denied coverage under its entitlement exclusion.

While driving his vehicle on a suspended driver’s license in August 2015, John Weaver somehow lost control and drove straight into the home of Sunday and Bryan Vanzile. The crash caused both bodily injury and property damage, and Weaver’s Indiana Farmers Mutual Insurance Company policy stated that he would be covered for both.

When the Vanziles sued Weaver for damages, Indiana Farmers filed for declaratory judgment, contending that the policy did not provide Weaver with coverage for the accident because his license was suspended at the time of the crash. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, joined by the Vanziles, then moved for summary judgment and Indiana Farmer’s responded likewise. However, a trial court granted judgment in favor of State Farm and the Vanzile.

Indiana Farmers argued to an appellate panel that Weaver was using his vehicle without a reasonable belief that he was entitled to do so because of his suspended license, which resulted in him being excluded from coverage pursuant to the entitlement exclusion of the insurance policy.

Noting that it had not yet seen a case in which entitlement exclusions pertained to the policy holder’s use of his own vehicle, the appellate court found that the policy’s term “using” was ambiguous and could therefore not be considered synonymous with the term “operating.”

“While ‘operating’ is one way of ‘using’ a vehicle, it is not the only way,” Judge Cale Bradford wrote for the court. “A person could use a vehicle for storage, to salvage spare parts from, or to display at a classic car show, none of which would require the person to operate the vehicle.

“Moreover, reasonable minds may differ as to whether ‘using’ one’s own vehicle under this exclusion is dictated upon one’s driver’s license status. Indiana Farmers could have drafted a provision that specifically excluded drivers from coverage who used the vehicle without a valid driver’s license,” Bradford continued.

The appellate court, therefore, found Weaver had a reasonable belief that he was entitled to use his vehicle pursuant to the language of the policy, concluding Indiana Farmer’s failure to add clarifying language to the policy was its own fault. Judge Elaine Brown concurred with the majority in a separate opinion, noting that Indiana Farmer’s could have drafted its policy in a way that clearly defined and used “legally using.”

Franklin Street Hosts Annual Mardi Gras Parade

0

MARCH 2ND, 2019 PAUL WILCOXEN EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

A day of family and friends, that’s the theme of the Mardi Gras parade on Franklin Street.

The parade is in its sixth year.

The pre-parade party began with a Mardi Gras Dash Costume contest followed with more celebration.

The event is put on by the Franklin Street events association. The boards’ president says putting on the event collectively is the best way.

“All of us can tell our own stories powerfully but when you put all our stories together, the message gets from far and wide,” said Amy Word, president of the Franklin Street Events Association. When we do that in the spirit of collaborativeness, it sure makes a difference in the outcome.”

The parade drew about 40 entries this year. Word says, one of the best parts about Mardi Gras is the food. A special menu is present a week before fat Tuesday featuring tradition Mardi Gras cuisines.

Indiana Men’s Swimming & Diving Wins Third-Straight Big Ten Championship

0

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The No. 2-ranked Indiana University men’s swimming and diving team captured the team’s third-straight Big Ten Championship at the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center Natatorium in Iowa City, Iowa on Saturday night.

Indiana’s three-straight titles are a first for the program since also winning three-in-a-row from 1983-85. The team championship is the 27th in program history. Also, with the Hoosier women’s team winning the Big Ten Championship last week, it marks the first time in school history that both the men’s and women’s programs won the conference title in the same season.

IU won the team title with a total score of 1,705 points. Michigan finished in second place with a score of 1,464, while Ohio State took third with a total of 1,243.5 points.

For the week, IU won a total of 24 medals – 13 gold, six silver, and five bronze. Indiana also won four of the five relays at the Big Ten Championships for a second-straight year – a program first.

Vini Lanza became the first man in Big Ten history to be named Swimmer of the Championships for three-straight years. Lanza won titles in the 200 IM, 200 butterflies, 200 freestyle relay, 800 freestyle relay, and 400 medley relay this week, along with two silver medals.

For the second time in his career, James Connor was named the Diver of the Championships. Connor won Big Ten titles in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives this week. A Hoosier has been named Diver of the Championships six of the last eight seasons.

Joining Connor and Lanza on the All-Big Ten First-Team were Zach Apple, Bruno Blaskovic, Gabriel Fantoni, Ian Finnerty, Brandon Hamblin, and Mohamed Samy. Andrew Capobianco was named Second-Team All-Big Ten.

Lanza let the NCAA know that he will be a force to be reckoned with in the 200 butterflies at the NCAA Championships later this month, posting the fastest time in Big Ten history en route to winning his third-straight Big Ten crown in the 200 fly with a time of 1:39.28.

Lanza set the Big Ten record, Big Ten Meet record, the school record and pool record with his NCAA A cut time. The senior’s mark is also the fastest time in the nation this season.

Also for IU in the Championship Final of the 200 butterflies, freshman Van Mathias took bronze with a time of 1:42.53, while Corey Gambardella was fifth in 1:42.99. In the C Final, Jakub Karl was fourth in a career-best time of 1:46.88.

 Gabriel Fantoni made it a sweep of the backstroke events this week, as the sophomore champion in the 100 backstroke won the Big Ten title in the 200 backstroke on Saturday night with a career-best time of 1:39.53.

Sophomore Jacob Steele had a personal-best time in the Championship Final as well, taking the bronze medal with a time of 1:41.52. Mohamed Samy was fifth overall with a time of 1:41.93.  Wilson Beckman placed 20th with a time of 1:45.24.

Ian Finnerty dominated the Championship Final of the 200 breaststroke, winning his second-straight title in the event with an NCAA A cut and Big Ten Meet record time of 1:50.30. Finnerty, who also became the first man to win four-straight 100 breaststroke titles in Big Ten history on Friday, posted the fastest time in the nation in the 200 breast on Saturday, missing his school record time by just 0.13 seconds.

Also for IU in the Championship Final, freshman Zane Backes took sixth with a career-best time of 1:53.78, while Gary Kostbade took eighth with a PR of 1:54.18. In the B Final, Matt Jerden was fifth in 1:56.84.

For the fourth-straight year, Indiana won the 400 freestyle relay Big Ten title. The Hoosier team of Zach Apple, Mohamed Samy, Bruno Blaskovic and Jack Franzman touched first with an NCAA A cut time of 2:48.67. The time is the third-fastest in the nation this season.

After Apple leadoff with a 42.31, IU posted splits of 42.51 and 42.30 over the next two legs. Neck and neck with Ohio State with one leg left, Franzman recorded a blistering 41.55 to bring home the gold for the Hoosiers.

Freshman Michael Brinegar had the best 1,650 freestyle for any Hoosier swimmer in history, shattering his own school record with a NCAA A cut time of 14:31.73 to win the silver medal. Brinegar’s time is the fourth-fastest in the nation this season.

Classmate Mikey Calvillo took fourth in the Championship Final with a PR of 14:45.64, while Spencer Lehman took seventh with a career-best mark of 15:06.47. Senior Adam Destrampe finished 12th overall with a time of 15:12.57.

Senior Zach Apple continued his great showing this week for the Hoosiers, winning silver in the 100 freestyle Championship Final with a time of 41.97. Teammate Bruno Blaskovic took fourth in the A Final with a mark of 42.69.

In the B Final, freshman Jack Franzman touched first, posting a personal-best time of 42.65. In the C Final, Griffin Eiber (43.60) was second, while Brandon Hamblin (43.81) was fifth.

Sophomore Andrew Capobianco capped his tremendous week at the Big Ten Championships, placing fourth overall in the platform dive with a score of 416.00. Capobianco was the only diver to qualify for every Championship Final, scoring a diving-best 82 points.

In the B Final of the platform dive, Mory Gould placed sixth with a score of 339.15, while Cole VanDevender was eighth with a total of 321.75.

For the week, every Indiana diver scored in every event, IU was the only school in the Big Ten to accomplish that feat. Hoosier diving played an integral part in the program’s 27thBig Ten titles, scoring 210 points over the week.

Men’s basketball defeats Valpo in regular season finale

0

Aces take 65-63 win

Marty Hill recorded 21 points and K.J. Riley scored 16 to help the University of Evansville men’s basketball team take a 65-63 win at Valparaiso in the regular-season finale inside the ARC.

“It feels great, our guys never wavered and our hard work paid off today,” UE head coach Walter McCarty said.  “It is good for our guys to get the win and feel good heading to St. Louis.”

Hill went 7-of-13 from the field and hit four 3-pointers in the victory for UE (11-20, 5-13 MVC).  Riley notched 16 points while Noah Frederking had 12 and John Hall added 11.  Riley added a team-best seven rebounds and four assists.  Pacing the Crusaders (14-17, 7-11 MVC) was Derrik Smits, who scored 15.

A back-and-forth first half saw the Crusaders get on the board first before a Marty Hill trey gave UE an early 3-2 lead.  Valpo retook the lead at 6-5 and a 1-for-8 stretch from the floor by the Aces saw the Crusaders take a 16-12 edge just past the midway point.

Evansville made a nice run to take its largest lead, outscoring Valpo by a 12-2 margin to go up by a 24-18 score inside of three minutes left in the half.  K.J. Riley had six of the points while Noah Frederking added a 3-pointer and John Hall capped it off with a free throw.  Over the final portion of the period, the Crusaders rallied back to take a 28-27 halftime lead when Derrik Smits knocked down a pair of free throws in the final seconds.  Hill led UE with 11 in the half while Riley scored 10.

John Hall notched eight quick points to open the second half as UE took a 39-34 lead in the opening four minutes.  Hall drained a pair of 3-pointers while Hill added his third of the game.  Valpo came back in a big way, going on a 14-3 run to open up a 48-42 lead with the half reaching its midway point.  They connected on six out of eight attempts over the run.

The lead for the Crusaders reached 52-43 at the 7-minute mark as the total run was 18-4.  Dainius Chatkevicius ended the stretch with a layup before Noah Frederking hit a three to cut the Valpo lead to four – 52-48.  UE continued its fight as another trey from Hill knotted the game at 55-55 with just over four minutes on the clock.

After Valpo retook a 60-57 lead, Noah Frederking connected from long range to cap off a 5-0 stretch that gave the Aces a 62-60 lead in the final minute.  Derrik Smits hit two free throws to tie the game back up, but John Hall drove one to the basket with 17 ticks on the clock that gave the Aces a 64-62 lead.  From there, the Aces were able to hang on for the 65-63 triumph.

The Aces shot 40.9% for the game, but a total of nine triples helped to push them over the top as Valpo was 2-for-10 from outside.  Valpo finished with a slight 34-33 lead on the boards.

Arch Madness awaits the Aces as they open up on Thursday at 8:30 p.m.  The opponent

will be determined following today’s league games.

 

Aces softball splits Saturday games in Birmingham

0

Sunday’s game has been cancelled due to weather

In its second day in Birmingham, the Purple Aces softball team split a pair of games on the diamond. UE fell by a 6-2 final to Houston Baptist before rallying for a 4-3 victory over Samford on Saturday afternoon.

Sunday’s game against Jackson State has been cancelled due to the impending weather.

Katie McLean was the star of game two, going a perfect 3-3 while scoring twice.  She had three of the Aces’ seven hits.  Izzy Vetter threw the first three frames before Emily Lockhart went four scoreless frames allowing just two hits while striking out four.  She earned the victory.

Samford recorded the first two runs of the game on a Madison Couch home run in the second.  The Bulldogs added a third run in the third before Eryn Gould hit her team-best fourth home run of the season, a solo shot, to get the Aces on the board in the top half of the fourth.

In the fifth, Evansville roared back with two more runs to tie the score at 3-3.  Allison Daggett led off with a single before moving to third on a Katie McLean hit.  She would cross the plate on a Bulldog error as McLean stole second.  After Eryn Gould reached via a walk, McLean stole home as Gould stole second to pull off a successful double steal that tied the game.

Evansville kept fighting in the seventh as McLean and Mea Adams led off with a pair of singles.  Both would advance on a wild pitch before Gould walked to load the bases.  Morgan Florey grounded out to bring McLean home for what would be the winning run.

UE opened the day with a 6-2 loss to Houston Baptist.  The Huskies scored the first four runs of the game.  After scoring twice in the second, they added a single run in the third and fifth frames.  Evansville got on the board in the top of the sixth with some 2-out magic.

McLean hit a double to right and came home when Morgan Florey singled to right.  HBU countered with two more runs in the sixth before the Aces added a single run in the seventh off of a Lindsay Renneisen solo shot to make it the final of 6-2.  The Aces picked up five hits in the game with McLean posting two.  Florey was back in the circle for the Aces; she threw all six innings and gave up six earned runs.  She struck out nine batters.

Another tournament is on tap for the Aces next weekend at East Tennessee State.  UE will take on Tennessee Tech, Rutgers, Siena and ETSU in five games running Saturday through Monday.
