Aces Well-Represented On The List

ST. LOUIS – Seventy-four student-athletes highlight more than 1,500 who earned selection to the 2016-17 Missouri Valley Conference Honor Roll, as announced by the league office.  Those 74 student-athletes earned the league’s highest academic achievement by capturing the Missouri Valley Conference President’s Council Academic Excellence Award

The President’s Council Academic Excellence Award requires a minimum 3.8 cumulative grade point average (through Spring 2017 semester), participation in athletics a minimum of two years, and the student-athlete must be within 18 hours of graduation.  Also, hundreds of student-athletes received the league’s Commissioner’s Academic Excellence Award, which requires a minimum grade point average of 3.5 for the previous two semesters, a minimum 3.2 cumulative grade point average, and participation in athletics.

In addition, the Missouri Valley Conference has announced its 2016-17 Honor Roll, which recognizes academic achievement of student-athletes.  To qualify for the Valley Honor Roll, a student-athlete must have recorded a minimum 3.2 grade point average for a specified term (Fall 2016/Spring 2017), must have been a member of an athletics team, and must have a minimum of 12 hours of enrollment during the fall or spring semesters.

7th Circuit: Indiana Burglary Is Predicate Offense Under Armed Career Criminal Act

 Indiana Burglary Is Predicate Offense Under Armed Career Criminal Act

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

An Indiana district court judge properly enhanced a man’s sentence following his convictions of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition because the man’s two prior felony convictions of robbery in Indiana qualify as predicate offenses under the Armed Career Criminal Act, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.

In May 2013, Jason Perry bought a box of 12-gauge shotgun shells, which he used later that day to shoot and kill his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Tice. Police arrested Perry shortly after the shooting and found the murder weapon and ammunition in his truck.

Perry was convicted of murder in state court and sentenced to 85 years, with 15 years suspended to probation. Meanwhile, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Perry pleaded guilty to two counts under U.S.C. Section 922(g)(1), one for being a felon in possession of a firearm, and one for being a felon in possession of ammunition.

At Perry’s federal sentencing, Judge Richard L. Young found he qualified for an enhanced sentence under the Armed Career Criminal Act because three of his prior convictions were for “violent felonies.” Specifically, Perry had been previously convicted twice for burglary in Indiana, while the third conviction was for battery resulting in serious bodily injury.

The district court imposed a 360-month sentence on each count, with the sentences running concurrently to each other and to Perry’s state sentence. On appeal in United States of America v. Jason Perry, 16-1535, Perry argued the enhancement was improper because Indiana burglary is not an ACCA predicate offense. Further, he argued the two felon in possession counts were duplicative and, thus, should have been merged at sentencing.

Specifically, Perry said Indiana burglary may be committed in outdoor, fenced-in areas, making it broader than the definition of generic burglary under the ACCA, which the Supreme Court has described as being committed only in “‘a building or enclosed space.’” Perry pointed to the case of James v. United States, 550 U.S. 192 (2007), which found that because burglary under Florida law allows the act to be committed in curtilage, it was broader than generic burglary.

But Judge Gary Feinerman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, sitting by designation, wrote in a Thursday opinion that Perry’s argument missed the mark because unlike its Florida counterpart, Indiana’s burglary statute requires a defendant to enter a wholly enclosed area.

“Perry brings no Indiana case to our attention, and we are aware of none, where, as in Florida, a defendant was convicted of burglary for entering a fenced area that was not completely enclosed,” Feinerman said. “… In sum, Perry ‘has not identified,’ and we have not found, ‘any case in which (Indiana’s) judiciary affirmed a (burglary) conviction that penalized acts’ inconsistent with the generic offense of burglary.”

Finally, Feinerman found Perry’s conduct “clearly supports the two separate counts” of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, respectively.

11-1 Harmac Rallies To Win Allowance Feature

11-1 Harmac rallies to win allowance feature
‘You could say our fellow was three-quarters of year behind’
Jockey Declan Cannon wins Arlington’s Modesty on breakthrough horse;
Prolific winner Deshawn Parker making Ellis part of his Midwest circuit
HENDERSON, Ky. (Sunday, July 9, 2017) — Horses like Honor Thy Father and Reedini looked like stars in the making when they gained their first victories last summer at Ellis Park. Meanwhile, Harmac was still four months away from making his first start. And when he did finally race, the gelding finished 10th while losing by double-digit lengths.
The 3-year-olds Honor Thy Father, Reedini and Harmac met up in Sunday’s $41,000 first-level allowance feature at Ellis, along with the well-fancied Donwell and Flash Attack. But it was the late-blooming Harmac, possessing the biggest odds in the field of six at 11-1, who closed from last to wear down 8-1 pacesetter Colonel Dan to win by a half-length. It was another four lengths back to Donwell, who was among several horses experiencing bumping at the start. Harmac finished the mile in 1:35.24, paying $25.80 to win under James Graham.
Harmac ran without inspiration in his second start, losing by 10, and Louisville-based trainer Grant Forster felt comfortable putting a moderately-bred gelding with bad form in a maiden-claiming race with a $50,000 price tag. He won at 35-1 under Graham, then was a sneaky-good fourth in a Churchill Downs allowance in the slop won by Singing Bullet.
“He was unfortunate last time when we had the deluge at Churchill,” Forster said.  “Dale Romans’ horse won it really impressively that day. We didn’t enter him in a swimming competition, but that’s what it ended up as. We really thought he’d stretch out nicely today. I thought he’d be up closer to the pace, but he came from well back and it set up — when went up pretty quick up front.
“We always thought all along that this was a really talented horse. He’s had some issues, and it’s taken him a little while to figure out the game. Just taken some time, never really had any physical issues. He’s a big kid, but obviously we’ll start to look at some bigger prizes. Maybe one more allowance race. He might be one who will really benefit from the more confidence he has.”
“He’s still getting there,” Graham agreed. “There were solid horses in there, a couple who last year looked like they could be anything. You could say our fellow was three-quarters of a year behind them. But that’s the way he’s developing. The ball still hasn’t dropped, but he’s doing his job.”
Harmac is owned and was bred by Elizabeth Southam, whose grandfather owned the biggest pulp mill on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. “His name was H.R. MacMillan, and they called him Harmac,” Forster said. “That’s the name of the mill.”
Reedini finished another 13 3/4 lengths back in fourth while edging the stakes-place Honor Thy Father, who was 63 lengths in front of Flash Attack.
Declan Cannon takes Modesty on breakthrough horse Dona Bruja
A year ago, jockey Declan Cannon was working on getting a toe-hold in Kentucky and indeed America, his career picking up steam at Ellis Park. On Saturday, the 30-year-old Cannon shipped out of town to win on his breakthrough horse as Dona Bruja captured Arlington Park’s Grade 3 Modesty.
Dona Bruja, a star in her native Argentina now trained by Keeneland-based Ignacio Correas, is 2 for 2 in the United States — both races with Cannon in the saddle. They teamed to win Churchill Downs’ Grade 3 Mint Julep, which gave the jockey his first graded victory in America. Next stop will be Arlington’s Grade 1 Beverly D, where a victory would really propel Cannon into the spotlight.
“They’re the kind of fillies you need to be getting on to get you noticed,” Cannon said Sunday at Ellis Park. “Good horses make good jockeys, and she is very good…. She gave me goose bumps turning for home. She’s fun to ride — a jockey’s dream.”
In fact, Dona Bruja is kind of like Cannon, trying to prove themselves in the United States. “Exactly,” the jockey said. “We’re both going the right direction, and doing things right, so that’s important. It’s what we get up early in the morning for: to try to find horses like this. It’s what all the work is for.
“Good horses really get you noticed on the bigger stage, Saratoga and places like that. Del Mar, the Breeders’ Cup, those are the kinds of horses that take you places. I’m enjoying it for now to see where she takes me.”
Dona Bruja won eight of 10 starts in Argentina, with two seconds. In the Modesty, she defeated the classy Time and Motion. “Time and Motion is a solid Grade 1 filly,” Cannon said. “I think (Dona Bruja) deserves her chance in the Beverly D. I wouldn’t swap her for anyone else in the race, or whoever might be coming.”
Cannon started riding for Correas in Tampa this past winter. “He’s a very good trainer, does a good job,” he said. “He lets me ride horses the way I want to ride them — with confidence. He leaves it up to me. We have a good relationship, so that works well. It’s important to have a good understanding with your jockey.”
Cannon didn’t have much time to celebrate. He and fellow rider James Graham drove back from northwestern Chicago through the night, arriving at 4:30 a.m. “What do you call it? Bread and butter,” he said with a laugh. “Today is another day — back to work.”
And that’s fine. Cannon, who now has ridden at every track in the state in completing his first year, says he loves riding in Kentucky and at Ellis.
“It’s very laid-back. People take it serious, but people seem to enjoy themselves more here,” he said. “Even the jockeys. There’s a good vibe here. I think that’s important. Like last weekend, 15 of us all went out to dinner together, a whole lot of us and we got a big table. We never get a chance to do that at Churchill, where we’re all next day, next day, busy. We don’t ever get together like that.
“It’s good here. The crowd, you can see they really enjoy it.”
Former Mountaineer kingpin Parker now semi-regular at Ellis Park
Deshawn Parker, winner of 5,270 races, will be coming in and out throughout this meet. Parker, at 5-foot-11 one of the tallest jockeys in America, for years was the kingpin at Mountaineer Park in Chester, W.Va., near Pittsburgh.
Parker led North America in wins in 2010 with 377 and in 2011 with 400 while riding at Mountaineer year-round. But when that racino-fueled track started whacking dates and purses, he began riding elsewhere, including the southwest for the winter.
He moved his tack to Indiana Grand — encouraged by the opportunity to get Jimmy McNerney as his agent — while making regular trips to Ellis Park and Belterra Park, the latter in his native Cincinnati. McNerney is the track announcer at Ellis and Turfway Park but also works as a jockey agent in Indiana.
With a son in college and another 15 years old, Parker says he and his wife would like to relocate to the Midwest when the younger child is out of high school.
“I stayed at Mountaineer and it’s been great for me,” he said. “But it’s time now to try to get out and move places, maybe here to Kentucky.”
It’s a different pace of winning, he acknowledges. “At Mountaineer, I was probably winning three a day,” he said. “But money-wise, I’m probably ahead, because the money is better even winning less races. A lot of times people would say, ‘Man, you win over 200 races and this guy has won 100 races and made just as much or more as you.’ But I never get upset about winning races, whatever the purse is for.”
Of his new circuit, he said, “I love it. Lot of driving, though.”
Racing resumes Friday with a 12:50 p.m. post. On Sunday, $2 million-earner and crowd favorite Brass Hat will be on hand to meet and greet fans as part of Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Day, which features a Brass Hat poster giveaway and an autograph session with owner/trainer/breeder Buff Bradley and jockey Calvin Borel. Other retired racehorses who have enjoyed post-racing careers will be on display, including Brass Hat’s stablemate King of Speed, whose 111 races included 15 at Ellis Park.

Exploring Top Issues by Wendy McNamara

0

Recently, I was named to two study committees that will examine assigned topics, gather testimonies and recommend potential bills for the 2018 legislative session.

I will be serving on Midwestern Higher Education Compact Commission and on the  Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code. A complete list of topics assigned to each summer study committee can be found here.

During session, we focused on enacting a law that will provide support for those who have mental health issues or are addicted to drugs and are also in the criminal justice system. Those who suffer from these problems need better tools to address their underlying issues. In our interim study committee, we will look at ways to help these individuals and address their problems.

Interim study committee hearings, which typically occur at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, can be viewed live online at iga.in.gov. This site also provides committee calendars and meeting agendas. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and testify. If you have any input on the topics, please join us for these meetings.

If you have any questions about summer study committees, please contact me at h76@iga.in.gov or 317­-232­-9816.
