Dr. Bucshon Statement on WOTUS Withdrawal

0

Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement applauding the Trump Administration’s withdrawal of the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule:

 

“Under the Obama Administration, the EPA attempted a massive power grab of the water resources in rural America that would have usurped states’ authority and eroded personal property rights. The results could have been devastating for Hoosier farmers, land owners, and the coal industry,” said Bucshon.  “As I’ve said before, states should be the primary regulators of water within their borders, not the federal government. I applaud the Trump Administration’s bold leadership on this important issue for rural Indiana.”

 

In January 2016, Bucshon voted in favor of a joint resolution nullifying the Obama-era WOTUS rule. The resolution was approved in the House by a bipartisan vote of 253-166 and was sent to President Obama’s desk.

Heather Tarter named Assistant Softball Coach

0

 Tarter is the reigning Summit League Coach of the Year

 University of Evansville head softball coach Mat Mundell has announced the hiring of Heather Tarter as an assistant coach with the Purple Aces.

“I am extremely excited to be able to add a coach of Heather’s caliber to our staff,” Mundell said.  “She has a tremendous background starting with her MVC playing experience to her head coaching success.  I have known Heather for a long time and I feel her personality and passion will be a perfect fit for what we are building here in Evansville.”

Tarter spent last season as the Interim Head Coach at IUPUI.  After joining the team early in 2016 as an assistant coach, Tarter took the reins of the program and enjoyed great success.  She led the Jaguars to an 11-6 mark in Summit League play on her way to conference coach of the year honors.

“I am excited about this opportunity and to be back in the Missouri Valley Conference.  I am looking forward to working with Coach Mundell, someone I have known and trusted for a long time.  We are excited to help the Aces reach new heights.”

Her Jaguars were the top seed in the Summit League Tournament and advanced to the championship game for the second year in a row.  The team was also received its first-ever postseason bid, playing in the inaugural National Invitational Softball Championship (NISC).

Prior to IUPUI, Tarter was the head coach at Purdue Calumet for three seasons where she led the Peregrines to a 28-8 mark in the program’s inaugural season.  The 2014 PUC squad ranked in the top 25 in NAIA Division II in five offensive categories and earned a 2-1 win over Division I Purdue in the fall season.

Parkland College was the first stop in Tarter’s coaching career where she served as an assistant from 2010 through 2013.  The Cobras earned 168 wins in her four seasons, including three-consecutive NJCAA Region 24 titles and two NJCAA National Tournament appearances.

Originally from Fairbury, Ill., Tarter spent her first two collegiate seasons playing at Kankakee Community College in Illinois.  She was a standout catcher for the Cobras where she led the team to a pair of NJCAA Regional titles on her way to being an All-Region player.  She finished her career in the Missouri Valley Conference, playing at UNI in her final two year

Indiana’s Lilly King Named Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year

0

Indiana University swimmer Lilly King named the 2016-17 Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year on Wednesday, the league office announced. Wrestler Kyle Snyder of Ohio State was named the Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year.

King is the first woman in IU history to earn the prestigious award and just the sixth overall in school history. Jim Spivey (1982), Sunder Nix (1984), Steve Alford (1987), Anthony Thompson (1990) and Derek Drouin (2013) all previously earned the award.

The Big Ten Conference has recognized a Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year since 1982 and first honored a Female Athlete of the Year in 1983. The Big Ten Athletes of the Year are selected by a panel of conference media members from nominations submitted by each institution.

“It is hard to believe what Lilly King has accomplished in her short two years at Indiana University,” IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. “I admire the positive female role model she has become in Bloomington. Her confidence and courage are traits we want all our athletes to emulate at IU. She is a pleasure to both coach and have on a team and we look forward to her very bright future.”

The four-time NCAA champion successfully defended her titles in both the 100 breaststroke and 200 breaststroke in 2016-17, becoming the first swimmer or diver in Big Ten history to win four individual national titles.

Along with her two championships, King earned four All-America honors, helping the Hoosiers place eighth overall at the NCAA Championships – the second-best finish in school history.

At the Big Ten Championships, the Evansville, Ind. native earned Swimmer of the Championships and Swimmer of the Year honors after winning conference crowns in the 100 breast, 200 breast, 200 IM and the 400 medley relay.

In the summer of 2016, King had a standout performance at the Olympic Games in Rio, winning the gold medal in the 100 breaststroke, as well as the 400 medley relay with Team USA. As a result, King won USA Swimming’s Golden Goggle Award for Breakout Performer of the Year.

Evansville Police Are Releasing Information In Reference To Victim’s Rights.

0

Concern for the victim is the underlying premise of any Victim Assistance Program. Research indicates that strong support for the victim benefits the entire criminal justice process. Justice demands that we support rights for those victimized by crime with the same pride as we provide protection to those accused of crime. The Evansville Police Department firmly maintains that all victims of crime have the following rights:

• Victims and witnesses have the right to be treated with dignity and compassion.
• Victims and witnesses have the right to be informed concerning the criminal justice system.
• Victims and witnesses have the right to protection from intimidation and harm.
• Victims and witnesses have the right to counsel.
• Victims and witnesses have the right to reparations.
• Victims and witnesses have the right to preservation of property and employment.
• Victims and witnesses have the right to due process in criminal court proceedings.

Current Indiana Law insures many of these rights in statutes covering such things as
victim compensation; restitution; special population laws (the elderly, children, sexual
assault, etc.).

The Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office has established a victim assistance program. While the criminal justice system cannot undo the damage done to crime victims, the Prosecutor’s Office is dedicated to providing information and assistance in order to minimize the unpleasant effects of a difficult situation. Because victim and witness participation is vital to pursuing any criminal matter, the Victim/Witness Assistance Program considers your input and opinions essential in bringing criminals to justice. With a cooperative effort from the victim, witnesses, and the Prosecutor’s Office, they will more effectively prosecute those who have violated the law and provide valuable services to those who have been adversely affected by crime.

Adopt A Pet

0

Maverick is a male black Lab/American Staffordshire Terrier/Boxer mix! He and his two siblings (Gunner & Mocha) were surrendered together because their family had too many animals. They are all very sweet & silly, but Maverick in particular is described by the staff & volunteers as “absolutely wonderful!” He has lived with plenty of other animals in the past and would likely be fine with anyone. He’s just over a year old, and weighs 52 lbs. Maverick’s adoption fee is $100 and includes his neuter, registered microchip, vaccines, heartworm test, and more. He does not HAVE to go home with any of his siblings, but if you’re looking to adopt two dogs at the same time… get $25 off! Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 or adoptions@vhslifesaver.org for details!

SHOWME’S EASTSIDE IS A FUN PLACE TO ENJOY GREAT FOOD AND DRINK

SHOW-ME’S EASTSIDE IS A FUN PLACE TO ENJOY GREAT FOOD AND DRINK

BY BRYAN FOX

So the big question around Evansville, at least in the restaurant industry, has been is Show-Me’s leaving town?  No, says Curt John, Show-Me’s owner.

Recently, CCO had a chance to sit down with John, a former University of Evansville basketball standout and past city councilman.

While reports of the Westside Show-Me’s closing down is true, the Eastside location will remain open.  “We will be making pricing changes and hiring a new GM,” says John of the location established in 2008.  “It will be business as usual.”  Of the price changes, John says these will include lowering the drink prices.

While Show-Me’s appears to be another sports bar in the same making as Hooters, it also serves as a good place to bring the entire family.  In fact, I bring my wife and daughter to Show-Me’s every Wednesday for their wing special.  I’m referring to the 5 boneless wings for $1.50 served between 3 to 10 pm.  Show-Me’s wings are ample in size and are served in various flavors from medium to hot.  In this writer’s opinion, they are the best wings in town.  The wing deal isn’t the only special Show-Me’s has to offer.  On Tuesday’s, Show-Me’s offers all short well drinks for $2.50.  Mr. John says there will be food/drink specials for all five weekdays eventually.

Show-Me’s also allows you to enjoy the nice weather we’ve been having this summer as they have a large outdoor patio for you to enjoy your food and drinks.  For your viewing pleasures, Show-Me’s has 65 TVs including 4 large screens.  They have the NFL package and you will have no problem watching your favorite local sports teams.  No matter if you’re an IU, UK, ND, or Purdue fan, ShowMe’s will not disappoint. The good news is that Show-Me’s have ample parking available.

So if you’re wanting to dine-out with the family, go watch the game with your buddies, or just have a craving for wings. stop by at Show-Me’s.  Its a fun place to hang out with great food and drink specials.
