Dr. Richard Moss, Candidate for Congress, Commits to Joining the “Freedom Caucus

0

It Is Time to Put Hoosiers First and Restore America to Greatness

Jasper, Indiana. Dr. Richard Moss formally committed to joining the “Freedom Caucus,” the conservative bloc within the Republican Caucus in Congress at the announcement of his candidacy on September 9, 2017.

Dr. Moss, who ran against Congressman Larry Bucshon in 2016 is deeply concerned about the direction of the Republican Party. “I intend to win this Congressional seat and join the Freedom Caucus. We need to build a critical mass of constitutional conservatives within the Republican caucus and transform the Republican Party into an honest to God, hard-hitting principled Conservative party, not the big government, big spending, liberal progressive party it is today.”

“It is becoming harder and harder to distinguish the Republicans from Democrats in Washington. Career politicians from both parties go to Washington, cut deals, grow the size of government, and bankrupt our children. We need new conservative leadership in Washington DC, new conservative leadership from Indiana’s 8th Congressional district, a new conservative leader who will go to Washington, take on the career politicians in both parties, and fight for we, the American people.”

Dr. Moss then focused his attention on Bucshon. “It didn’t take Larry long to become another typical DC politician. He has even moved his family to Washington, just like Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh. He would rather mingle with Washington insiders and lobbyists than do what the voters of Indiana sent him to do. Hoosiers voted Lugar and Baye out of office and they ought to do the same for Larry.”

“Larry has never met a spending bill he didn’t like. He votes for massive trillion dollar Omnibus bills, 1500 page monsters that no one reads that fund all the things he says he’s against like sanctuary cities, the EPA, amnesty, Planned Parenthood, the Iran Nuke Deal, and importing more Syrian Muslim ‘refugees.’ Like every establishment Republican he campaigns like a conservative but votes like a liberal. He voted for the phony House Obamacare replacement bill, Obamacare 2.0. or SWAMPCARE. It doubles down on Obamacare, maintains its basic structure, only making it worse, ensuring an even more rapid collapse of the health care market, but this time with Republican fingerprints all over it, leading to single payer. That is the SWAMPCARE bill Larry Bucshon voted for. As a doctor he should have known better. Thank God the Freedom Caucus held strong and prevented it from passing.”

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.

One year ago St. Vincent launched the Ted & Clare Ziemer Society at St. Vincent Evansville Foundation. They have over 170 members who have contributed to their efforts (and they are just getting started)! The Ziemer Society is about having fun, while giving back and helping patients at St. Vincent. Each of the events support a philanthropic need at St. Vincent.

JJ and Ava are patients of our Pediatric Feeding Program at St. Vincent Center for Children.

JJ is from Chicago and Ava is from Columbus, Ohio. They were some of the first patients to use the new equipment funded by the Ted & Clare Ziemer Society in the feeding program’s sensory room. Children who receive sensory input prior to feeding treatments are better able to focus and participate in therapy.

We invite you to support the pediatric patients at St. Vincent, network while having some fun?   Please join us for our next Ziemer Society event on Thursday, September 28 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the home of Rachel and Brian Spalding. The Pizza Revolution will be serving delicious wood fired pizza. Event proceeds will benefit Endoscopy patients at St. Vincent.

Aces Fall In Three Sets 

Jaelyn Keene had 17 kills and three services aces to lead Illinois State to a 3-0 win over the University of Evansville volleyball team on Monday evening.

Keene was the only player for either team to hit double figures in kills.  Fellow Redbird (9-7, 2-1 MVC) Stef Jankiewicz led everyone with 30 kills.  Evansville (6-8, 0-2 MVC) saw Cathy Schreiber lead the way with 7 kills with Rocio Fortuny completing the match with six.  Allana McInnis posted 18 kills on the night while Mildrelis Rodriguez led the defense with 14 digs.

A fast start to game one saw Illinois State take a 5-0 lead.  They extended it to 11-3 before the Aces posted three in a row to get back within five.  From there it was all Redbirds as they pulled away for the 25-12 victory.

Rocio Fortuny helped UE take a 3-1 lead in set number two as she had back-to-back kills.  The Aces continued to lead at 6-5 before the Redbirds came back with six in a row to go up 11-6.  They added to it on their way to a win in the set by a 25-15 final.

Another run helped ISU take a 4-1 lead in the third frame.  Evansville fought back to tie it up at 4-4 on a kill from Erlicia Griffith.  The Redbirds had the response once again, scoring five in a row as they never looked back, finishing the match with a 25-12 decision.

A road trip this weekend will see the Aces head to Southern Illinois on Friday before trekking to Springfield, Mo. a day later to take on Missouri State.

 

EPD Statement On Racially Offensive Image That Is Circulating On Social Media Pages

1

At 6:40 on Sunday evening, a community member contacted the Evansville Police Department about a racially offensive image that was being circulated on social media.
The image shows three white juveniles holding a black baby doll with a string around its neck as though they are hanging the doll. One of the juveniles has a shirt on his head that is shaped in the manner of a hood commonly worn by members of the KKK. The post identified the juveniles as EVSC students.

Due to the disgusting nature of the picture, the EVSC was immediately contacted in an effort to identify the juveniles. The EVSC was able to provide the names within 30 minutes of being notified.

Based on information provided by the EVSC, it was determined that the picture was taken at a weekend gathering at a private residence in Vanderburgh County. The information has been given to the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office for review.

The Evansville Police Department is no longer par t of that review process.
Because the students identified in the image attend a school within the city limits, the school resource officer was notified last night and has been present in the school this morning. We have also remained in contact with the EVSC to ensure we provide any additional resources as needed.

UE Named Number 7 Baccalaureate College in the Nation and a “Best Bang for the Buck” school by Washington Monthly

0

The University of Evansville is ranked number 7 in the nation among Baccalaureate Colleges on the 2017Washington Monthly College Rankings. UE was also named a “Best Bang for the Buck” school by the publication.

Social mobility and research are considered in these rankings, along with the university’s commitment to service. Also examined were federal data on student outcomes, such as salary earned by graduates, and how quickly graduates are able to pay down the principal on their student loans.

Washington Monthly describes the Best Bang for the Buck list as their “exclusive list of schools that help non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.”

According to UE president Thomas Kazee, the Washington Monthly ranking is particularly meaningful as its criteria directly reflect the mission of the University, especially as it relates to the quality and value of a UE education

“At the University of Evansville, our core purpose is to provide students with an academic experience that is not only of remarkably high quality, but is affordable.  This “Best Bank for the Buck” ranking – combined with our recent ranking as the third Best Value in the Midwest by U.S. News and World Report – is a powerful indication of the value of a UE education.

Washington Monthly is a bimonthly magazine based in Washington, D.C., that covers politics, government, culture, and the media. The complete 2017 College Rankings and methodology are available on the organization’s website.
