10 MUST ASK RULES

BY CITY-COUNTY OBSERVER STATEHOUSE EDITOR GAIL RIECKEN

I hope you get a kick out of reading Abdul Hakim-Shabazz as I do. His brand of political humor runs through his articles much like the banter talk he would lay on a legislator that happened to get caught with him in the elevator. I don’t think he knew who I was but everyone knew him. 

In his recent article, Abdul offers his 10 Primary Rules including his most “ Don’t talk to me about this” rules. ( https://city-countyobserver.com/commentary-ten-primary-rules/)

He is spot on. But, I still would like to hear candidates’ opinions about the issues that lie beneath the references to President Trump he doesn’t want to hear about and those that affect us every day and aren’t talked about, until some crisis or event takes place or a bill is authored.   I think others would like to hear, too.

For example – 

  1. What leadership qualities in a candidate are important to you
  2. Will you sign an ethics statement and participate in the prevention of sexual harassment training
  3. What comment would you have regarding the importance of the separation of powers in government – executive, legislative, judicial
  4. What is your position on 1st Amendment Rights – please comment on media, including social
  5. What is your position on 2nd Amendment Rights
  6. What is your position on the 14th Amendment Rights
  7. What is your position on Equal Pay for Women
  8. How would you better control government spending 
  9. What is your position on increasing the minimum wage, and
  10. Last, but very important, How would you improve services to our children, including our education system

Those are my 10 Must Ask Rules. I just learned there is the first open meeting for candidates running for Senator Jim Tomes seat. It begins at 9:00 this Saturday at CK Newsome. 

Call CK Newsome, 812-435-6141, to confirm. Maybe I will see you there.

Discussion Issue of the Week:

“D” rating for Hoosier women reflective of GOP Statehouse priorities

  • It’s not easy to admit, but Indiana is failing working women and families.
  • The gender pay gap is widening in Indiana, one of just a handful of states where that’s occurring. That gap costs women and families hundreds of thousands of dollars over their career. This is an economic issue.
  • Indiana has the 4th highest cost of child care in the nation. Have we done anything to combat that? If paid leave is an innovative idea for state employees, isn’t it for private sector employees, as well?
  • The point is, there were bills to address these issues in the Legislature this year and Republicans blocked all of them. If you care about something, if it’s important, you act. Actions matter.

Caze School by Pat Sides

0

School bells were ringing on South Green River Road long before that part of Evansville was annexed and developed residentially.

This one-room school was erected in 1891 on property once owned by George W. Caze (Case), an early settler who owned 40 acres around the present site of Green River Road and Pollack Avenue in Knight Township. In 1925, the building was razed and replaced by a slightly larger one, but by the early 1950s, the neighborhood’s soaring growth forced students to attend classes in shifts or in the church next door until more rooms were added.  

Township schools merged with city schools in 1958 to form the Evansville School Corporation; two years later, Caze became a K-8 school and was enlarged again.

The University of Evansville men’s golf team earned a fifth-place finish at the Tennessee State Big Blue Intercollegiate at The Presidents Reserve course at Hermitage Golf Club in Old Hickory, Tenn.

Evansville recorded a 300 in the final round on Tuesday after opening the intercollegiate with rounds of 296 and 291 on Monday. The Purple Aces three-round total of 887 was a stroke ahead of Detroit Mercy who finished in sixth. UT – Martin led the tournament wire-to-wire, concluding the intercollegiate with a two-day total of 856 (287 – 287 – 282).

For the first time in his collegiate career, freshman Spencer Wagner led the way for Evansville in a tournament. Wagner recorded his best single round as a Purple Ace with a one-over 72 in the final round of the intercollegiate, giving the freshman a three-round total of 220 (73 – 75 – 72), placing Wagner in a tie for 17th.

Senior Tyler Gray followed just a stroke behind Wagner with a three-round total of 221 (73 – 72 – 76) as Gray finished the intercollegiate in a tie for 22nd.

Finishing in a tie for 30th was the Aces’ duo of Noah Reese and Cameron Weyer. Both Reese and Weyer finished the tournament with totals of 225 as Reese opened the intercollegiate with rounds of 75 and 71 before recording a 79 on Tuesday, while Weyer remained consistent throughout the tournament, carding 75s in all three rounds.

Competing as an individual, Jessie Brumley finished in a tie for 44th after tallying back-to-back 76s on the first day before carding a 79 in the final round of Tuesday.

Matthew Ladd concluded the intercollegiate with a 77 in the final round, placing him in a tie for 44th. Ladd finished the three-round tournament with a total of 232 (82 – 73 – 77).

Closing the tournament in a tie for 58th was junior Gabe Rohleder who competed as an individual and totaled a two-day score of 238 (75 – 80 – 83). Just two strokes behind Rohleder was another individual in sophomore Robert Waggoner who closed the intercollegiate with a final-round 79 to give him a three-round total of 240 (84 – 77 – 79) and put him in a tie for 64th.

Evansville has a weekend off from competition before competing in the MVC Championship in Cape Girardeau, Mo. on April 23 and 24.
