IS IT TRUE DECEMBER 18, 2017

2

We hope that todays “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  a loyal reader sent us an article published in the AARP Public Policy Institute Fact Sheet on January 23, 2017? …we feel this article could be of interest to our readers so we decided to publish it? …this article states that the Medicare program protects consumers by limiting how much physicians and other health professionals can charge Medicare patients? …the fact sheet describes Medicare’s “balance billing” rules for physician services and related rules for physicians who choose not to accept Medicare payment and instead have “private contracts” with all their patients who have Medicare?  …attached is the link of the summary Fact Sheet in this article?  … Read the Fact Sheet (PDF)?  …attached a link explaining Medicare’s current rules limited “balance billing” and private contracts provide important financial protection for consumers. Without these protections, Medicare beneficiaries would likely face higher out-of-pocket costs.

IS IT TRUE we are told that city employees unpaid medical payments for the several months to area healthcare providers are being deferred for payment during the first half of 2018?

IS IT TRUE we expect the annual State Board of Accounts audit is scheduled to be released any day now?  …we are hearing it’s an interesting read?

IS IT TRUE members of the Evansville City Council better keep their eyes open concerning the last half of the $12,550,000 advance payment that the city receives from Tropicana?  …we are told that the City Controller has transfer those funds in the General Fund instead of the Riverboat Rainey Day Fund?

IS IT TRUE  several years ago EVSC’s hired Cox Law Firm to encourage debtors to paid what they owe EVSC for past books and cafeteria debts before taking them to Small Claims Court?  …that Cox Law firm agreed that they wouldn’t charge EVSC if they have to take the debtors to Small Claims Court for judgement? …another part of the agreement with the EVSC states that Cox Law firm will only be compensated for sending demand letters and negotiating with defendants to make arrangements before taking debtors to Small Claims Court?  …that Cox Law firm over the past several years has negotiated with individuals that owe money to the EVSC with success? …we commend Cox Law Firm for not being over aggressive “Dog The Bounty Hunters” debt collectors but are still able to collect a good sum of money owed to the EVSC?

IS IT TRUE many people are wondering what kind of political deals that members of the Evansville City Council are cutting in order to determine the leadership position for 2018?  …we predict that the new leadership makeup of City Council for 2018 will surprise anyone?

IS IT TRUE if you feel members of our law enforcement don’t have a hard and dangerous job please that time and read the  EPD Daily Activities report posted in the CCO?

Holcomb Highlights Success Of 2017 Legislative Session, Previews 2018

INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Eric Holcomb is calling on legislators to focus on Hoosiers during the 2018 legislative session if they want to take Indiana to the “next level.”

Holcomb took a moment to reminisce on the previous year’s successes and look ahead to the future in his first appearance as governor at the annual Bingham Greenbaum Doll LLP Legislative Conference Wednesday.

The conference attracts legislators, lobbyists, county and municipal leaders for an inside-look at the state’s hot topics surrounding the Statehouse prior to legislative session, which begins Jan. 3.

“We set, obviously, a high bar,” Holcomb said. “We went into session in a strong position, and we came out even stronger than that first gate and we’re seeking to do just that once again in 2018.”

In his 2018 legislative agenda, which he unveiled on Nov. 8, Holcomb emphasized the need for a stronger STEM education program—science, technology, engineering and math—in order to develop Indiana’s workforce.

“Everywhere I go, this is what I hear—if I invest in Indiana, am I going to find the workforce I need in order to survive and thrive in business?” Holcomb said. “We’re addressing that. We want to make sure the state of Indiana is doing all it can to address any of these gaps that occur.”

One step Holcomb has already taken toward this goal is the implementation of nextleveljobs.org, a website for Hoosiers to search for jobs posted by Indiana employers.

Holcomb said more than 240,000 Hoosiers have visited the site since its August launch, and more than 12,000 applicants have been processed through.

The governor, during his address, previewed another program preparing to launch in the state—the Last Mile program.

The Last Mile, which currently exists in eight California prisons, is a program that prepares incarcerated individuals for a successful future following their release through business and technology training.

“They have the skills to succeed. Not just skills, but hope for a better life, many of which have just never experienced that before.”

Indiana has more than 27,000 inmates in the system, Holcomb said. About 12,000 of those inmates are released each year and another 12,000 are brought in. Holcomb said this is not only an effort to provide people with more skills, but also create a more attractive economy.

“We’ve got a lot to do,” Holcomb said. “This is a to-do list. We’re going to be focused on it 24 hours a day. All of these are going to require many hands. It’s not going to make the work easier, but it’ll make it lighter.”

CHANNEL 44 NEWS: Evansville Regional Airport Affected By Cancelled Flights To Atlanta

0

DECEMBER 18TH, 2017  MELANIE ZAYAS EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

 The power outage at Atlanta’s Hartfield-Jackson Airport left thousands stranded and is also affecting those traveling through Evansville. Two flights leaving Evansville were cancelled today.

It was a long night for some passengers who were getting ready to board flights going to Atlanta, Georgia. The Evansville Regional Airport had a line of people from different parts of the nation who showed great patience while claiming back luggage and arranging alternate travel plans.

Chris Harmon, a Nashville native, says he was here in Evansville for a family holiday and is lucky to have a re-routed flight. Harmon says, “It worries me that something like that would happen at one of the busiest airports in the world affected like that but I’m grateful that there’s other options that Delta does fly through, so I was able to get out someplace else.”

Two women from Orlando, Florida were in Evansville for work but intend to take the opportunity to spend time in the city before heading back home. A three hour layover awaits them in Detroit, Michigan.

They say, “It’s frustrating to know that we are stuck for another night.”

“I’m glad we’re not stuck there through like in the chaos of it. We can stay here, it’s nice and quiet. We like it in Evansville.”

Those who are have scheduled flights to Atlanta in the next coming days should keep an eye out for cancellations or delays.

Kate Steinle’s Illegal Alien Murderer Goes Free

Kate Steinle’s Illegal Alien Murderer Goes Free
Written By Dr. Richard Moss, Candidate For Congress

Jasper, IN: Dr. Richard Moss, candidate for Congress, had sharp words for so called “sanctuary” cities.

“We should call them ‘rogue’ or ‘lawless’ cities or ‘criminal sanctuary’ cities because they provide sanctuary for illegal alien criminals who prey upon American citizens.”

“Jose Zarate is a criminal illegal alien. He has been deported five times. He has been convicted of seven felonies since 1991. ICE (Immigration Customs Enforcement) officials asked San Francisco authorities to release him into their custody, but because San Francisco is a so-called ‘sanctuary’ city, they refused. Instead he was sent out into the streets and killed Kate Steinle.”

“The San Francisco jury, which was not told of the seven felony charges, found him not guilty of murder and not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. They found him guilty of possession of a firearm. Because he had served 2 years in a county jail awaiting trial, he may be released for time served.”

“Can American citizens get justice in this country? Why are criminal illegal aliens who have already committed a crime upon entering the country illegally, and then go on to commit other more serious crimes as Zarate did, given every protection and safeguard while Americans are treated as second class citizens?”

“It is a scandal and a stain on the federal government and the Republican Party that 16 years after 9/11 we have not secured our southern border. This is a law and order issue. It is a national security issue. A government’s first obligation is to protect its citizens, but not apparently when it comes to illegal aliens.”

“It is time to help American dreamers. It is time for American citizens to step out of the shadows. It is time for illegal aliens to be deported. We must secure our southern border and build a wall. We must implement e-verify, visa tracking, and employer sanctions. We must defund lawless, criminal, ‘sanctuary’ cities and deputize local and state law enforcement to help ICE enforce our nation’s immigration laws not skirt them. If necessary, we should federalize the national guards of states like California or send federal troops in to impose federal law as has been done multiple times in the past including by President Eisenhower who sent troops to Little Rock, Arkansas to enforce the Supreme Court’s ‘Brown’ decision. We must end the scourge of illegal immigration. We are obligated to American citizens not to illegal aliens.”

“Kate Steinle died in her father’s arms because an illegal alien who had been deported five times and convicted of seven felonies shot her. She said to her Dad, just before expiring, ‘Help me, Daddy.’ Kate and hundreds of other American citizens have died at the hands of illegal aliens because Democrats want more votes and Republicans want more money (from the cheap labor lobby). They are unwilling to defend this country. They cover themselves in shame.”

Dr. Richard Moss is a board certified head and neck cancer surgeon and was a candidate for Congress in 2016. He graduated from the Indiana University School of Medicine and has been in practice in Jasper and Washington, IN for over 20 years. He is married with four children.

Mom Who Placed Child For Adoption Can’t Claim Custody 13 Years Later

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

A biological mother and father who consented to the adoption of their child cannot 13 years later seek custody. The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court ruling to that effect Friday, finding that to rule otherwise would “lead to a patently absurd result in this case and potentially many others.”

In the Harrison County case J.R. and C.R. v. S.P. and D.P, 31A04-1706-DC-1284, biological mother C.R. and her husband, J.R., filed a motion seeking custody of C.R.’s biological daughter, A.P. The biological mother had voluntarily relinquished her parental rights 13 years earlier when she consented to A.P.’s adoption the day after giving birth in 2003. The biological and adoptive parents did not enter into an agreement regarding post-adoption contact between A.P. and her biological mom.

In February, C.R. and her husband filed a petition seeking custody of A.P. They alleged they had been in contact with A.P., and that there were conflicts between the child and parents, who planned to relocate. The petition claimed awarding custody to the C.R. and her husband would be in A.P.’s best interests.

 Judge Rudy Pyle wrote for the panel that C.R.’s petition ran counter to persuasive statutory and case law.

“Biological Mother’s parent-child relationship with A.P. was irretrievably terminated when the decree of adoption was entered in March 2004. At that time, Biological Mother was divested of all rights with respect to A.P. We agree with the trial court that Biological Mother cannot now circumvent this law ‘under the guise of a non-parent third party.’

“The acceptance of Biological Mother’s argument would lead to a patently absurd result in this case and potentially in many others. Under her argument, all parents who had either voluntarily relinquished their parental rights or had those rights involuntarily terminated could use (I.C. 31-17-2-3) to potentially revive those previously divested rights” Pyle wrote. “This would create the ‘unnecessary instability and uncertainty’ that (I.C. 31-19-15-1) was enacted to prevent. Further, in this case, it would also be absurd to allow Biological Mother to use her husband to revive these divested rights. Accordingly, the trial court did not err in granting Parents’ motion to dismiss.”

Local Student Places Second In Indiana Statehood Day Essay Contest

0

Each year, the Indiana Statehouse Tour Office and the Indiana Center for the Book hold an essay competition to commemorate Statehood Day. The contest is open to all Indiana fourth-graders as part of their Indiana history curriculum, and submissions are judged by a panel of Indiana State Library staff and volunteer educators.

Ozzy Jankowski, a West Terrace Elementary School student, was awarded second place in this year’s competition for his essay titled, “What makes you proud to live in Indiana?”

During the Statehood Day celebration at the Indiana State Library, Ozzy read his essay on Hoosier pride, heard from local storyteller Celestine Bloomfield and met Dean Dorrell, an Abraham Lincoln impersonator.

Congratulations to Ozzy on this remarkable accomplishment!

BREAKING NEWS: Second-Half Surge Leads UE to 79-52 Win Over Midway

December 17, 2017

Frederking Has Career Game

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Freshman Noah Frederking set a career-high with 19 points to help the University of Evansville men’s basketball team take a 79-52 victory against Midway on Sunday afternoon inside the Ford Center.

Frederking knocked down 6 of his 12 attempts along with three triples to lead all scorers in the contest.  It surpassed his previous scoring mark of 14, which came at Bowling Green earlier this month.  Just behind Frederking was senior Blake Simmons who hit double digits for the fifth game in a row for the Purple Aces (10-2).  Simmons finished with 18.  A day after setting his career scoring mark, K.J. Riley had the first double-double of his career, notching 15 points and 12 rebounds.  He also dished out seven assists.

“I let the game come to me today,” Frederking explained.  “I thought we played a good game in the second half.  We came out slow in first half, but picked it up in the second half.”

Pacing Midway (4-8) was Kwon Evans, who had 14 points.

“Give Midway a lot of credit.  They were the most aggressive team for most of the first half,” Aces head coach Marty Simmons said.  “Our guys adjusted at halftime and came out in the second half playing a faster pace and really played better in all areas.”

Midway showed early on that they were going to put up a fight as they scored the first five points of the game including a Bryson Harris 3-pointer.  A basket by Dainius Chatkevicius got the Aces on the board at the 18:08 mark, but the Eagles’ hot shooting continued as a 6-8 start from the field gave them a 15-6 lead less than five minutes in.

Blake Simmons helped UE make its way back as he posted six Evansville points in a row before a jumper by Saturday’s star – K.J. Riley – cut the Midway advantage to three at 19-16.  Freshman Noah Frederking knocked down his first triple of the day just past the midway point of the half to tie it up for the first time at 21-21.  Following an Eagles miss, Simmons converted a triple of his own to give UE its first lead at 24-21.

On the next possession, Midway tied it right back on a Brandon Johnson trey as the Eagles had it tied or stayed within a possession until the final seconds of the half.  That is when a pair of free throws by Riley sent the Aces into the break with a 38-33 lead.  Simmons had 11 in the half.

After allowing the Eagles to shoot 50% in the opening stanza, the Aces defense clamped down in the final 20 minutes.  UE held Midway to just 21.4% shooting while outscoring them by a 41-19 tally.  A triple by Noah Frederking at the 17:21 mark gave the Aces their first double figure lead at 45-35.  From there, the lead reached its highest point in the final minute with the 27-point victory – 79-52.

Evansville posted a 45-27 mark in rebounding while the offense stood strong, shooting 48.1%.  The outside shooting for the Aces continued at a torrid pace as the squad went 5-of-9 from beyond the arc.

Today’s win marked the 29th-consecutive home non-conference win for the Aces.  It is one of the ten longest streaks in the nation.

On Wednesday evening, UE travels to Durham, N.C. to take on Duke.  The game will be televised live on ESPN2.
