Aces To Play In One Of The Top College Basketball Atmospheres

On December 20, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team will play in one of the top atmospheres in college basketball, making the trip to Durham, North Carolina to take on Duke University at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

“This is such a great opportunity for our program to play on this stage,” Purple Aces head coach Marty Simmons said.  “Duke is one of the top programs in the country and it is going to be a great experience for our team to play at Cameron Indoor Stadium.”

Duke has won five NCAA Championships while making 11 championship games and 16 Final Fours.  The Blue Devils also have the top NCAA Tournament winning percentage at 75.5%.

“We have a ton of respect for Mike Krzyzewski and their program.  This is another great contest to add to our schedule for 2017-18,” Simmons added.

December’s game will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

The program will be offering its fans the unique chance to join the team for the game.  For information on how you can make the trip with the Aces, click here: www.uealumnionline.com/MBBDuke.

IS IT TRUE JUNE 14, 2017

32

IS IT TRUE that we wonder if the dogmatic pursuit of the excessive taxation of obsolete printing equipment in the possession of the Evansville Courier and Press by Vanderburgh County Assessor office ultimately led Gannett to move the printing operation to Louisville?…this is just the sort of thing that drives companies to pack their bags and head across the money saving bridge to some state that does not rake them over the coals for taxes on something that is gathering dust and has very little value?…there should be some sanity check to taxing property other than having someone in the assessor’s office who doesn’t know a printing press from a yo-yo assigning an arbitrary value to something they know very little about?…now that all is said and done, all of those jobs associated with printing the Courier and Press have moved across the river? …we predict that Vanderburgh County Assessor Bill Fluty (R) will have an extremely qualified Democratic opponent in the next General election?

IS IT TRUE Reckitt Benckiser Group announced that it has received final regulatory approval to acquire Mead Johnson Nutrition that has operated a manufacturing plant in Evansville for the last 102 years?…the deal is expected to close this Thursday?…it was about 6 years ago that Mead Johnson left the friendly confines of Evansville to move their headquarters to Chicago?…MJ has about 950 employees in Evansville who earn $85 million in wages and $30 million in benefits with nearly 100 holding advanced degrees?…we hope that the Vanderburgh County Assessor’s Office does not run this good business out of town by taxing dust gathering equipment as though it was golden?

IS IT TRUE that the saga of the downtrodden folks who are fearful of losing their subsidized housing continues with Mayor Winnecke’s political proclamation that he feels their pain?…it makes one wonder how someone who grew up in a middle class home without having experienced things like little food on the table, utilities shut off, health care insecurity and the threat of eviction from your home could really feel such pain?…Mayor Winnecke, like many Americans has lived a fairly comfortable middle class life and living in a nice home growing up, received his education at a private University, and a career path with very few pitfalls? …communication is truly what Mayor Winnecke is very good at but it must be pointed out that words do not pay the rent, utilities bills, provide basic health care, provide warn clothing for their kids or put groceries in the refrigerator?

IS IT TRUE it is unfortunate that Evansville has people who have been living a subsidized life so long that living without adequate subsidies for food, housing, clothing and medical care that instills fear in their psyches?…we hope that these people do find a way to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and escape the bondage of dependence?…we also understand that it is these people and not a person of privilege  that really know the fear of homelessness and an empty stomach?

IS IT TRUE it was recently announced that the KIDS FREEDOM PARK play ground located at Sunset Park will be moved to make way for a City of Evansville waste water pump station project?  …we highly recommend that the City of Evansville Water and Sewer Utilities folks check the land deed to see if they can use the soon to be vacated land for a water and sewer pump station project?  …we have been told that deed to this property clearly states that this land can only be used as a city park?  …we recommend that city check the deed to this property before building something on it?

IS IT TRUE we have been told that the City of Evansville design of $18 million dollar upgrade to the North Main street area may have an expensive repair issue facing them?  …we are hearing that the design work concerning the road width may be to narrow for delivery trucks to use?

Todays “READERS POLL” question is:  Do you feel that individuals in the Vanderburgh County Assessors office sometimes assigns an arbitrary value to something they know very little about?

Dr. Bucshon Supports Landmark VA Accountability Bill

0
Congress Sends Legislation To President Trump Granting The VA Secretary Authority To Fire Employees For Misconduct And Protecting Whistleblowers From Retaliation.
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – On Tuesday, the House passed S. 1094, the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017, landmark legislation to implement necessary reforms at the Department of Veterans Affairs that hold bad actors accountable and protect whistleblowers.

 Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement after voting to send S. 1094 to President Trump for his signature:

“The VA is failing to live up to the commitment made to our veterans and that should be unacceptable to every American,” said Bucshon. “To turn things around, the Secretary of the VA should be able to hold bad employees accountable, which is made nearly impossible under current law. The Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act is landmark legislation that ensures bad actors are terminated or held accountable and whistleblowers who bring forward misconduct are protected. This legislation builds off our work to provide robust funding and badly needed reforms that improve the care delivered to veterans after several scandals involving VA-provided care came to light, like the atrocities we saw at the Phoenix VA. Our previous work combined with the legislation we passed today go a long way to ensuring veterans receive the timely and quality care that they have earned through their service.  I’m happy President Trump supports this common-sense measure and intends to sign it into law.”

After the U.S. Senate passed S. 1094 on June 6, 2017, President Donald Trump called on the House to expeditiously approve the legislation tweeting, “Senate passed the VA Accountability Act. The House should get this bill to my desk ASAP! We can’t tolerate substandard care for our vets.”

 

Desire For Second Boat Lift Not Enough To Override Prior Orders

Desire For Second Boat Lift Not Enough To Override Prior Orders

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Court of Appeals swatted away an appeal of a dispute between pier owners, finding previous trial court orders resulting from more than 26 years of litigation over access to a lake clearly stated when a pier’s location can be changed.

Robert and Deborah Miller, who have property on Webster Lake in the Epworth Forest subdivision in Kosciusko County, requested the neighboring pier belonging to Gerry Lee and Patricia Ann Powell, who own property in the subdivision but not on the lake, be removed. The Millers needed the room to add a second boat lift to their dock.

The Epworth Forest Administration Committee, Inc., approved the request and the Powells responded by filing a lawsuit against the EFAC and the Millers. They argued the committee’s decision was arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable.

Kosciusko Circuit Court found for the Powells. It ruled the EFAC’s decision did not conform with the prior judgment and orders regarding the lake and that there had been no significant change in circumstances to require the removal or relocation of the Powells’ pier.

EFAC appealed, arguing the trial court misinterpreted its prior orders. The committee claimed not only did the court’s order require each pier to be placed in the center of each assignment but that the EFAC lacked the authority to order the Millers to move their pier because piers belonging to lakefront property owners were permanent.

In an opinion that included footnotes highlighting deficiencies in the briefs and exhibits submitted as part of the appeal, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court in Epworth Forest Administration Committee, Inc. v. Gerry Lee Powell and Patricia Ann Powell, 43A03-1610-MI-2332.

The appellate panel described the prior orders from the previous years of litigation as using “unambiguous language.” Those previous rulings did not mandate the piers be located in the center of the assignments and they viewed all the piers to be permanent regardless of whether the owners lived directly on the lake or not.

Like the trial court, the Court of Appeals found the desire for a second boat lift did not constitute a “substantial change of circumstances” that would necessitate the Powells remove their pier.
