Dahlstrom, Grooms net D2CCA All-Midwest Region honors

0

University of Southern Indiana senior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois) and senior guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) have been named to the Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association Women’s Basketball All-Midwest Region second team in a vote by the region’s sports information directors.

Dahlstrom had a career year for the Eagles as she averaged 16.5 points and a Great Lakes Valley Conference-best 9.9 rebounds per contest. She was named first-team All-GLVC, first-team Academic All-District and was twice named GLVC Player of the Week.

The two-time All-GLVC honoree finished her four-year career at USI ranked fifth all-time in program history with 749 career rebounds, tied for fifth in games played (115), 10th in blocks (65) and 15th in scoring (1,069).

Grooms, who was a unanimous first-team All-GLVC honoree, also had a career year for the Eagles as she was fourth in the conference with a team-best 17.8 points per contest. She also earned GLVC Player of the Year honors during the regular-season.

Like Dahlstrom, Grooms also was a two-time All-GLVC honoree. She finished her career at USI ranked first all-time in games started (119); second in games played (119); fourth in free throws made (364); fifth in scoring (1,567), three-point field goals attempted (376) and field goals made (530); sixth in three-point field goals made (143), free throws attempted (454) and steals (185); tied for seventh in blocks (69); 10th in assists (239); and 13th in rebounds (530).

Along with senior guard Randa Harshbarger (Philo, Illinois), who was a third-team All-GLVC selection, Dahlstrom and Grooms helped lead the Eagles to an 89-30 overall record and a 54-18 mark in GLVC play during the last four years. They played in a combined 338 games, recording 3,164 career points, 1,547 rebounds, 701 assists, 141 blocks and 472 steals.

USI finished the year with a 26-5 overall record and advanced to the GLVC Championship game and NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament for the second time in four years. The Eagles finished the year with a 16-2 GLVC mark to earn their second straight GLVC East Division title.

Justices To Hear Insanity Appeal In Pastor’s Fatal Shooting

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Supreme Court will hear the state’s challenge of an Indiana Court of Appeals order to enter a not guilty by reason of insanity judgment for a woman who shot and killed a Southport pastor.

Lori Barcroft was previously found guilty but mentally ill for the 2012 shooting of Bethel Community Church Pastor Jama Iseminger. Barcroft shot Iseminger after her son, Jordan Asbury, had confided in the pastor about Barcroft’s deteriorating mental state.

According to the record in Lori Barcroft v. the State of Indiana, 18S-CR-135, Barcroft admitted to police that she shot Iseminger. She later was diagnosed with schizophrenia, paranoid type, or delusional disorder, persecutory type. For example, she told officers that Iseminger had ordered her father to be smothered to death, while Jeb Bush had killed her grandmother and the Bush family and Iseminger together caused her grandson to become infected with a disease. She also claimed that she was a member of the Colombian mafia and that Iseminger had plans to kill her entire family.

Barcroft was found guilty but mentally ill after a bench trial in 2014, but the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the case for a new trial in 2015. The case then proceeded to a second bench trial in 2017, when Barcroft once again asserted an insanity defense against charges of murder and a sentencing enhancement for the use of a firearm.

Despite three expert witnesses who determined Barcroft was unable to appreciate the wrongfulness at the time of the shooting, Marion Superior Court once again found Barcroft guilty but mentally ill by relying on demeanor evidence. Specifically, the court determined Barcroft had a motivation for the shooting because Iseminger had advised her son to move her out of his home and that her decision to hide after the shooting showed she appreciated the wrongfulness of her conduct.

Barcroft’s conviction was overturned a second time in December, with the Court of Appeals majority of judges Edward Najam and James Kirsch remanding to the trial for entry of a judgment of not guilty by reason of insanity. Judge Elaine Brown dissented and would have affirmed Barcroft’s conviction of guilty but mentally ill.

The case is one of 22 transfer petitions decided last week by the Indiana Supreme Court, and the only transfer petition granted. Transfer dispositions may be viewed here.

LETTER FROM THE JD SHETH FOUNDATION TO HELP HOMELESS VETERANS

0

To Whom it May Concern,

My name is Jaimie Sheth and I am the President/CEO/Founder of the JD Sheth Foundation. I’m writing to introduce myself and our foundation to you in order to possibly work in conjunction to aid the homeless veteran population of Evansville. Our foundation is a 501(c)3 US recognized nonprofit incorporated in Indiana. We are a project to project foundation, meaning we are presented with projects from other foundations/organizations/individuals and we review them to see if they fit our mission. If they do, we gather all necessary information to see if we can successfully complete the project and what we have committed to do.

At the end of 2017, ECHO, an Evansville based nonprofit who focuses on housing and assist- ing homeless veterans, approached us to help fund part of their Gresham House project. The Gresham House will be used in 2018 by homeless veterans as transitional housing prior to integrating into the Evansville community. We accepted. We will be throwing a fundraiser on May 12, 2018, to support this project and would like you to consider supporting us in whatever way you see possible. Some things that we need to make our fundraiser a success include, but aren’t limited to, donated gift cards, donated items for a silent auction, and donated services from local businesses.

I encourage you to look at our website (www.jdshethfoundation.org) when able to get a better understand of the type of work we do. Because we are an Indiana based foundation and have a high affiliation with Evansville, we love supporting our local community, especially our veterans and would appreciate your support in this process.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at jaimie@jdsheth.org. Thank you kindly for your time.

To changing lives,

Jaimie D Sheth, President/CEO
JD Sheth Foundation: EIN #47-4129062

Libs Candies Inc. by Pat Sides

0

Thanksgiving week in 1950 ushered in temperatures that dipped below zero, but that did not deter early Christmas shoppers from venturing downtown. Libs Candies opened its first store that week, just in time for the holiday rush, offering customers a selection of fine chocolates and other flavorsome treats. The firm soon opened another store at 122 NW Fourth Street (seen here), and in 1959, the original store relocated to Sixth and Main, where it remained for decades. Robert Libs, an Owensboro native who learned the art of candy-making in California, founded the business and was soon joined by his brother John. The firm also expanded into North Park and Henderson, Kentucky, eventually making its candies available in numerous Tri-State outlets.
