Aces in Mexico for Cancun Challenge

0

Tournament begins on Tuesday

 CANCUN, Mexico – For the first time in 17 years, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team is outside of the United States in the regular season as the Purple Aces take part in the Cancun Challenge.  Evansville opens the tournament on Tuesday against Fresno State at 7:30 p.m. CT before facing either George Mason or Louisiana Tech on Wednesday.  Both contests will be televised on the CBS Sports Network.

UE is outside of the United States for the first time since December of 2000 when the team played in the San Juan Shootout.  That year, the Aces beat Puerto Rico Mayaguez before falling to Northwestern.  Evansville also played in the San Juan Shootout in 1997.

The Purple Aces are 4-0 on the young season, their best start since winning the first five games in 2013-14.  It is just the second 4-0 start to a season for Evansville since 1987.

Evansville’s tenure in the 2017 Cancun Challenge started on Thursday with the SEMO contest and continues today against Binghamton.  On Sunday, UE heads to Cancun where it will play Fresno State on Tuesday before facing either George Mason or Louisiana Tech on Wednesday night.

Over his last three games, Dru Smith has dished out a total of 29 assists and his average of 7.8 per game puts him 14th in the nation.  Smith has tallied double figures in three games this season after doing so just four times in his whole freshman campaign.

Junior Ryan Taylor has scorched the nets thus far in 2017, averaging 24.0 points per game, ranking second in the league.  He connected on seven 3-pointers against Binghamton, the most for a UE player since Colt Ryan had 8 triples against Bradley in 2012.

Fresno State enters Tuesday’s contest with a 2-1 record with wins over UC Santa Cruz and CSUN before falling at Arkansas on Friday.  Four Bulldogs average 13 points or more led by Deshon Taylor, who checks in with 17.7 PPG.  Just behind him is Bryson Williams, who has scored an average of 17.3 PPG.  Jaron Hopkins leads the way with 8.3 rebounds per contest and chips in 13 points.

Intoxicated Motorist Downs Power Pole, Disrupts Service to East Side Residents

0

An intoxicated motorist downed a utility pole late Saturday night, disrupting power to east side residents.

On Saturday, November 18, 2017 at 11:36 PM the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash with possible injuries in the 8200 block of Spry Road. Once on-scene, deputies observed a white Ford Transport van off the south side of the roadway. The vehicle had struck a utility pole, causing the pole to break in half and come to rest on top of the vehicle. Due to the electrical hazard, Vectren crews were summoned to the scene to disconnect electrical power prior to the driver being removed.

The driver, later identified as Mr. Darrell Curtis Huff, was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The investigating deputy observed that Mr. Huff appeared intoxicated, but he refused to consent to a blood alcohol test offered by the deputy. Mr. Huff was later released from the hospital and booked in the Vanderburgh County Jail on charges of Operating a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated with Test Refusal.

Vectren advised the damage to the utility pole knocked out power to several homes in the area. Additional neighborhoods on the east side lost power for a short period of time when Vectren disconnected power to the area so that repairs could be safely effected.

ARRESTED:

Darrell Curtis Huff (pictured above), 59, of Evansville. Operating a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated as a Class A Misdemeanor with Test Refusal, Operating a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated as a Class C Misdemeanor

CHANNEL 44 NEWS: Rising Domestic Violence Cases in Indiana Raises Concerns

0

NOVEMBER 17TH, 2017  TYRONE MORRIS INDIANA

 The Indiana Commission Against Domestic Violence says at least 54 people died from domestic violence last year in the state of Indiana.

As the number of domestic violence cases continues to grow nationwide family, friends and counselors want everyone to be aware of the signs and know there is a way out.

For example, there have been two domestic violence deaths in Indianapolis in just three days. The latest happened just Friday morning when a woman was strangled to death by her boyfriend.

Earlier this week, a woman was killed in a domestic dispute. The latest victim’s mother is speaking out because she says she wants people who need help to get it.

“No woman should have to be abused at all,” says the mother of domestic violence victim Tina Spells.

“We know that the number is at least 1.5 to 2 x more but there were a number of homicides where we were not able to directly link this homicide happened in domestic assault,” says ICADV employee Karyn Burton.

The man accused of killing Spell’s daughter has been charged with murder.

EPD ACTIVITY REPORT FOR VANDERBURGH COUNTY

EPD REPORT

Jerusalem Football

Jerusalem Football
by Mark Hurt Candidate For The United States Senate

We are approaching the season of the year when many of our thoughts will turn to Jerusalem. Some will sing songs and others will review the history of the people who first declared that city to be holy. The season of Chanukah begins on December 12 and extends to the 20th, and of course we Christians celebrate the Christmas season 5 days later. To this day the typical greeting among our Jewish brothers and sisters at various times but particularly at Passover and at the end of the Seder meal is, “le-shanah ha-ba’ah bi-Yerushalayim,”  “Next year in Jerusalem.” The fact is that Israel calls Jerusalem its capital, and the US Embassy is located in the nation’s capital of every country with whom we have diplomatic relations, except for Israel. That error of history should be rectified.

Earlier this year I published a blog outlining my support for Israel, historically our staunchest democratic ally. In that blog I specifically mentioned my support for President Trump’s campaign promise to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. With so many of the President’s initiatives and campaign promises stalled because of inaction by Congress, both by the recalcitrant democrats as well as republicans who find the President’s efforts to “drain the swamp” personally threatening, this is a laurel waiting to be seized. No Congressional approval is necessary, just a campaign promise the POTUS could honor tomorrow, not by Executive Order, but merely acting to enforce an existing Congressional mandate. He promised he would; now he should.

In 1995 the 104th Congress, by a unanimous voice vote, approved the Jerusalem Embassy Act. That act stated that the USA should recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move our embassy there. Did I say it was a unanimous vote? Despite that approval, Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump have failed to act to move the embassy. It has become a political football that has been punted for 24 years. Oh, there are a variety of reasons routinely proffered:  Palestine will be upset, it might be considered by some an act of war, it will stall the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks (how are they going?), it will cause hard feelings among Israel’s neighbors, and the old favorite, the United Nations will be angry. Does anyone actually think that not moving the embassy will make Palestine a friend of the USA? The last 24 years suggests not.

There is even the fear expressed by at least three administrations that moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem because of a Congressional vote muddies the water between the auspices of Congress and the sole power invested by the Constitution in the Executive Branch to execute foreign policy. While some of the warnings about such a move may have credibility, I believe it is time to get over this whining excuse and act to move the embassy. Since the 1995 act, the President must stipulate in writing every six months that it is not in the best interests of the USA to make the move at that time. Despite his campaign promise to move the embassy, the last time such a declaration was made, President Trump so stipulated on June 1, 2017.  He must reissue that statement on December 1, 2017. I encourage him not to do so.

By beginning the process to move the embassy on December 1, 2017, the current administration will honor one more campaign promise that the electorate voted for and assure Israel, that the USA can be depended on to honor its international ethical commitments. As your senator, I will always stand with Israel on key issues, and should it not occur this December, once I oust progressive Senator Joe Donnelly and become your junior senator I will work to have the administration begin this strategic move as soon as possible.

Working for you,

Mark Hurt

Valpo Law To Meet With ABA, Says It’s Committed To Students

Valpo Law To Meet With ABA, Says It’s Committed To Students

November 20, 2017
Marilyn Odendahl and Olivia Covington
Valparaiso University president Mark Heckler emphasized the law school is not closing after it announced Thursday it would suspend admission of students in 2018. However, the American Bar Association still may want a teach-out plan as is required of law schools that are ceasing operations.

The university’s board of directors has instructed the university administration to find a solution to the ongoing problems at the law school. Declining enrollment and increasing costs coupled with a public censure from the ABA because of admissions practices convinced the board to look for alternatives such as affiliating with another law school or relocating to another geographic area.

Heckler said the board’s decision came after a “long, careful, thoughtful conversation.” About the time Andrea Lyon became the dean of the law school in July 2014, the board began to realize the challenges facing the institution were going to continue.

The law school has been a topic of discussion by the board for years, Heckler said. Following a meeting last week and an hour-and-a-half meeting Thursday, the members made the decision to “explore alternative possibilities.”

However, after the meeting, some news media reported that the 138-year-old law school was closing. Even the ABA appeared surprised, issuing a statement indicating it had not been notified in advance of the plans, and pointing to Rule 34 of the ABA Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approvals of Law Schools. That rule mandates a law school formulate a plan for continuing to provide a legal education to its current students while the school ceases operations or closes a branch campus.

Heckler said officials from the university would be meeting with the ABA Friday to convey the message that what is happening at the law school is different from what has been reported. The school wants the ABA to “understand there is no change in terms of our commitment to fulfill our obligations to the students that are here,” the president said.

School officials will be meeting with each student individually to work out a plan that best suits him or her. Some students, Heckler acknowledged, could opt to transfer, but for those who stay, the law school is committed to giving them the legal education they were promised.

“That’s the only way I can see that we fulfill our promise,” Heckler said.

The news about Valparaiso Law School comes about five months after Indiana Tech Law School closed its doors at the end of June.

Lake County Bar Association president Adam Sedia pointed out Valparaiso Law School has been around “longer than another can remember,” and many attorneys practicing in northwest Indiana are graduates.

“Not having it around in the same role that it’s always been will be a major change,” Sedia said, “and we’re going to have to explore how to deal with that.”
