Luke Messer Challenges Opponents to Participate in Two More Senate Primary Debates

0
Luke Messer today challenged his primary opponents to participate in two more debates before the Indiana Senate Republican Primary on May 8th.
In the Americans for Prosperity debate this week, Messer was the adult on stage and stayed above the back and forth between his two primary opponents. Messer was and is “laser focused on beating Joe Donnelly.”
“Debates give Hoosier Republicans a chance to hear from all of us and make their own decision on who they think is the best candidate to defeat Joe Donnelly in November,” Messer said. “Hoosiers ought to know the broken U.S. Senate and Joe Donnelly are standing in the way of President Trump’s agenda. I’m laser focused on defeating Joe Donnelly and eager to share our winning message with more Hoosiers.”
Messer took aim at Democrat Joe Donnelly and the broken U.S. Senate during Tuesday’s debate. Multiple media accounts singled out Messer as the candidate who kept his focus on Joe Donnelly.
“Messer focused his attacks on Democrat Sen. Joe Donnelly… while portraying himself as the only adult among the candidates,” said the Associated Press account on the debate. Messer “stayed above the fray” and “stood largely unscathed in the middle,” according to other accounts.
In one key moment during the debate, Messer called out his primary opponents for attacking one another instead of Joe Donnelly.
“I’ll tell you who most likes this exchange — Joe Donnelly,” Messer said. “The only way Democrats can win in this state is when Republicans are divided and throw stones at each other.”
The day before the debate, Messer led his primary opponents in another Senate primary poll conducted by Indy Politics Political Pulse. Messer also won the Indiana State Republican Party’s U.S. Senate Straw Poll in January, which has been called the first major bellwether in the race.

Indiana Congressman Larry Bucshon Supports Alzheimer’s Funding Bill

0

FEBRUARY 23RD, 2018  AMANDA PORTER INDIANA

 Congressman Dr. Larry Bucshon spent time at the Walnut Creek Alzheimer’s Special Care Center discussing the “Building Our Largest Dementia Infrastructure” for Alzheimer’s Act sponsored by Kentucky Congressman Bret Guthrie.

At an estimated cost of nearly two hundred and sixty billion dollars annually, Alzheimer’s is the most expensive disease in the country and is the only leading cause of death in u.s. that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed.

Congressman Larry Bucshon is supporting legislation that works to bring more funding to Alzheimer’s research.

Representative Bucshon spoke with Walnut Creek’s management team and members of the Alzheimer’s Association.

The”BOLD” for Alzheimer’s act is aimed at making Alzheimer’s a public health priority, and developing best practices for intervention and caregiving.

The bill would bring government resources to the community level to provide funding for health departments benefiting caregivers, care providers, and care recipients.

“With our aging population although its not only the aged that get Alzheimer’s,” says Representative Bucshon, “I had an aunt who developed early-onset Alzheimer’s in her fifties, but the recognition of this earlier, and as we do have an aging population, the increased incidents of the diagnoses of Alzheimer’s means that we are going to have to find solutions and fund research and awareness.”

Representative Bucshon also talked to residents and toured the model room at the special care center.

The “bold infrastructure” for Alzheimer’s act would also direct the Center for Disease Control to establish Alzheimer’s center’s for excellence, award cooperative agreements to public health departments, and increase data collection analysis and timely reporting on Alzheimer’s.

In Indiana, one in eight of people 45 years and older report they are experiencing confusion or memory loss that is happening more often or is getting worse.

More than 80 percent of them have not talked to a health care professional about it.

WESTFIELD, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Softball used big innings to dispatch a pair of Midwest Region opponents Saturday afternoon at Grand Park.

 The No. 9 Screaming Eagles (5-1) scored five times in the second inning to defeat Ohio Dominican University, 5-2, in the opener; then scored 10 times in the sixth inning to defeat Cedarville University, 14-6.

Junior second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) led the Eagles at the plate, going 4-of-7 (.571) with four RBIs, while sophomore pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt(Louisville, Kentucky) hit .429 (3-7) with a double, two triples and two RBIs.

USI returns to action Sunday at 11:30 a.m. (CST) when it takes on 2017 NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament opponent Saginaw Valley State University at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana. The Eagles also play Purdue University Northwest Sunday at 3:30 p.m. (CST).

USI 5, Ohio Dominican (3-4) 2

–Box Score
The Eagles sent 12 batters to the plate in the bottom of the second inning as they racked up five hits and scored five times to take a 5-0 lead.

Johnson, junior pitcher/designated player Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana), junior catcher Lindsey Barr (Whitesville, Kentucky) and freshman outfielder Alicia Webb(Elberfeld, Indiana) each had RBIs for the Eagles, who got a strong relief effort from Leonhardt in the circle.

Leonhardt (3-0) earned the win after allowing two runs off three hits and two walks while fanning eight batters in 6 2/3 innings of work.

USI 14, Cedarville 6 (6 inns.)
–Box Score
USI scored 10 times in the top of the sixth inning to rally from a 6-4 deficit and earn its fifth straight victory.

Barr led off the frame with a solo home run to cut the deficit to a single run. Four batters later, Leonhardt doubled into the left-centerfield gap to drive in both runs and give USI a 7-6 edge.

Leonhardt scored two batters later on an RBI-single by sophomore outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) and the route was on. Freshman first baseman Haley Shouse (Borden, Indiana) had a two-run single and USI tacked on another run when junior pitcher Haylee Smith (Florence, Kentucky) had her sacrifice fly dropped by the more leftfield.

Johnson, who tripled and scored in the second inning, ended the onslaught with a two-run double as USI sent 13 batters to the plate.

Leonhardt was a problem for Cedarville pitching throughout the contest as she had tripled in both the first and second innings. She scored USI’s first tally in the first frame on a Schubert RBI-single.

USI scored three times in the second inning as Johnson and junior pitcher Courtney Atkisson (Bringhurst, Indiana) each had RBI-triples to put USI up 4-1.
