VHS Black Friday Adoption Special

0

To help move solid black dogs & cats out of the shelter and get them into homes in time for the holidays, VHS is jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon and reducing these animals’ adoption fees by HALF.

This means that black dogs will be adoptable for $55, black/mostly black cats for $20, black/mostly black kittens for $30, and black/mostly black rabbits for $20. This includes spay/neuter surgery and a registered microchip for all animals, plus vaccinations, testing, and deworming for dogs & cats.

The VHS loses money on every single adoption, even at regular price. Regular fees (double the amounts above) don’t even begin to cover the cost of each animal’s stay. Each animal receives over $200 worth of care on its first day in the shelter, not to mention the daily cost of food, medication, staff wages, overhead, and more. These costs are offset by monetary donations from the public, as the VHS does not receive any support whatsoever from city or county taxes or any national agencies such as HSUS or ASPCA.

The shelter currently has more than 60 dogs, 20 rabbits, and 200 cats in its care. Plenty of these animals are black or mostly black, with more scheduled to come in each day.

Doors open at 12:00 noon on Friday, November 23rd for the Black Friday “doorbusters.” Adoption hours are 12:00-6:00 Friday & Saturday. Families interested in adopting should stop by the shelter during these hours to fill out an adoption application and visit with animals. Adoption fees are payable with cash, Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. Any approved family can adopt from the VHS, regardless of whether or not they live in Vanderburgh County. People regularly travel from out of state to adopt pets. Please keep in mind that pets who are not yet spayed or neutered cannot leave the building until surgery is complete. This is included in the adoption fee.

All available animals can be viewed online at www.vhslifesaver.org/adopt.

JUST IN: Duckworth Will Not Seek Recount In Vanderburgh Commissioner Race

0

Vanderburgh County Commissioner candidate Mike Duckworth has announced that he will not seek a recount in the Commissioner District 2 race.  The Republican candidate lost the race to Democrat Jeff Hatfield by 224 votes earlier this month in the general election

Campaign for Mike Duckworth for Commissioner released the following statement:

“As many of you know, I have been reviewing the election results in the extremely close race for Vanderburgh County Commissioner.  First, I want to be clear that I never questioned the integrity of the vote counting process.  However, in an election decided by less than one half of one percent of the total vote, I felt I owed it to all of my supporters to conduct a thorough review of all of the election data.  After such review, I have decided not to ask for a recount.  I want to take this opportunity to once again thank all of the people who voted for me and supported my campaign as well as congratulate Jeff Hatfield on his election to the County Commission.”

EPD arrest arson suspect in connection with an attempted weekend arson on Evansville’s west side.

0

 

On Sunday, November 18, Evansville Police was dispatched to an arson report at 509 N Saint Joseph Ave (White Oak Manor). Officers arrived and were advised by Evansville Fire Department officials that three separate locations were located in the building as origins of an attempted arson. A trash can in the first-floor lobby, the second-floor laundry room, and a trash can in the second-floor stairwell. Officers were able to view security footage from the building and develop 72-year-old James Madden as the suspect. Madden, who is a resident at the location, was still on scene and was transported to EPD headquarters where he confessed to the allegations against him. Madden is currently in Vanderburgh County jail and facing a felony arson charge.

Feehan’s 20 points helps UE defeat Texas Southern, 85-63

UE improves to 2-2 on the season

 For the second time in four games as a member of the Purple Aces, Shea Feehan scored 20 points to lead the University of Evansville to an 85-63 win over Texas Southern on Sunday inside the Ford Center.

Feehan, who scored 14 of those in the first half, was 7-12 from the floor and 5-8 from outside.  Noah Frederking recorded 16 points while Shamar Givance and John Hall posted nine apiece.  Hall grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds as the Aces (2-2) outrebounded the Tigers (1-4) by a 47-43 tally.

“We really worked hard to get our guys actively engaged on each side of the ball.  Our defense definitely looked better today,” Aces head coach Walter McCarty said.  “Our pace was so much better in the second half.  We did not play with as much tempo in the first half.  I thought Shamar (Givance), Jawaun (Newton) and Shea were really able to push the ball today. ”

Evansville was credited with 16 assists on the day while draining 10 triples as a team.  UE shot 46.9% and held TSU to 32.4% for the game.

Texas Southern grabbed a 5-0 lead out of the gate before the Aces got it in gear, posting the next 13 points to go up 13-5 at the 13:24 mark.  Shea Feehan scored the first eight points for the Aces, finishing the first half with a team-best 14.  Included in that tally was a pair of triples.

The Tigers got within a pair at 13-11 before the Aces extended the lead with a late rally in the first 20 minutes.  Up 29-24 with 2:16 remaining, Evansville went on a 7-2 stretch to take a 35-26 lead into the break.  Noah Frederking and Marty Hill each had field goals in the final stretch.

It was Feehan serving as the hero once again early in the second half.  A pair of TSU baskets cut the Aces lead to five when Feehan knocked down his fourth 3-pointer of the day.  Three days after setting his career mark with 26 points, Noah Frederking added five in a row to push the lead to 13 (45-32), the largest of the day.

Frederking nailed another three with 8:02 remaining in the game that made it a 58-39 contest before the advantage reached 24 in the final minute before Evansville finished the day with an 85-63 win.

“I think we did a good job of attacking the rim today, that was a big point of emphasis for us.  We executed our game plan very well,” senior Marty Hill said after the game.  He finished with eight points and five boards.

K.J. Riley had seven points, six rebounds and four assists today.  He explained the pace of the team today, which went from scoring 35 in the first half to adding 50 in the final 20 minutes.

“Our game plan was to play with more of a pace today,” he said.  “I felt like we did that today, especially in the second half.”

Leading Texas Southern was Jalyn Patterson, who had 26 points and 7 rebounds.

Next up for the Aces is a game at Ball State on Saturday at 1 p.m. CT.  The next home game is on November 28 against Wyoming.  Tip is at 6 p.m.

“IS IT TRUE” NOVEMBER 19, 2018

6

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” 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 we would like to thank long-time supporter and friend Joe Wallace for his help with the City-County Observer during the time that our publisher was facing serious health problems?  …that Joe Wallace is a shining example of what true friendship is all about?

IS IT TRUE it was obvious that the visit by President Trump to Evansville for the sole purpose to endorse than Senatorial candidate Mike Braun was indeed a politically partisan event? …today’s “Readers Poll” ask who should be responsible to pay for the $100,000 overtime pay for security costs incurred by the city taxpayers this politically partisan event?

IS IT TRUE that last Friday’s the Vanderburgh County Election Commission met to look at about 60 provisional ballots that were rejected for various reasons? …Mr. Hatfield gained five (5) votes after the Election Commission reviewed the military and provisional ballots?…after all said and done the Vanderburgh County Election Commission officially certified the margin of votes between Jeff Hatfield and Mike Duckworth in the Vanderburgh County Commission race?  …Jeff Hatfield received 29,005 votes and Mike Duckworth received 28,781 votes? …that the margin of victory for Mr. Hatfield was exactly 224 votes?

IS IT TRUE that we are told that Mr. Duckworth is considering asking for a recount of the votes cast on November 6, 2018, midterm election but hasn’t made up his mind yet?  …Mr. Duckworth has two weeks after the Nov. 6 general election to file for a recount? …If Duckworth doesn’t file for a re-count the GOP Chairman of Vanderburgh County could file a recount petition on his behalf this Friday?  …we have seen many “Hail Mary” passes in football?  …it looks like the loser in the race for County Commission may be considering a “Hail Mary” recount of the votes casts in the race for Vanderburgh County Commission?  …in conclusion, we are told by people in the know that the “Fat Lady Has Sung” because the Vanderburgh County Election Commission has officially certified the election results of the 2018 midterm election?

IS IT TRUE we are told that the defeated Republican primary candidate for the Vanderburgh County Commission, Steve Hammer may be tabbed for a key position in Senator Mike Braun administration?  …that Mr. Hammer helped spearhead Mike Brauns successful campaign for the United States Senator?

IS IT TRUE everyday members of our local law enforcement work many scenes of shootings several times every week?  …they also chase and apprehend suspects fleeing the scene of the shootings? …we are proud of our man and women in blue for help keeping our community safe from bad people?…the next time you see our first responders please give them a “thumbs up” for doing a great job in protecting us?
IS IT TRUE that for the last several years the State of Indiana has been coming down on the Vanderburgh County Commissioners and the Vanderburgh County Council for having too many people in the relatively new but inadequate jail on the north side?…our elected officials are not only under scrutiny for ridiculous levels of overcrowding but they are getting political heat for not agreeing on a financial plan with respect to fixing the problems?…the problems are of course driven by having a minimum of 20% overcrowding for the capacity the jail was meant to house?…there are not even enough beds for every prisoner to have one and there are only enough toilets to make it a requirement that 12 prisoners must share a toilet?…the same goes for showers as there is a shower shortage of the same magnitude?…understaffing is at critical levels and there is no current financial plan in site to fix the problem?
IS IT TRUE last year the Vanderburgh County Commissioners voted on to change the City/County employees medical clinic provider? …the County Commissioners approved to hire a locally owned medical company named Tri-State Community Clinics (TSCC) to be the new health care provider for the County/City employees? …we wonder if their decision to hire TSCC has proven to be a wise decision?
IS IT TRUE that the Ford Center has never performed up to its expectations?  …one of the main reasons why not is because it may have been built in the wrong location? …also losing paying venues like the Evansville Icemen and the University of Evansville ladies basketball certainly didn’t help the bottom line?  …we hope that the soon to launched professional “ARENA FOOTBALL” team will turn out to be a positive economic move for the Ford Center? …could it be time for the Evansville Sports Corporation to see if they can attract  “PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING” on a monthly basis at the Ford Center?
IS IT TRUE that the system of governance called Communism just celebrated its 100th birthday last year?…it was just pointed out that in its 100 years of existence that Communism has been responsible for the death of 100 million people?…isn’t that a legacy worth fighting against ever infesting the minds of Americans even if it is called by another name?
IS IT TRUE that the Executive Director of SWIRCA & MORE, Rhonda Zuber is doing one heck of a job for this most worthy community organization?
Todays“Readers Poll” question is: Who do you feel should pay the $100,000 overtime pay incurred by the Evansville Police Department for security provided during President Trump visit?
