IS IT TRUE March 31, 2017

8

(Todays IS IT TRUE is a repeat from yesterday because many people had problems posting on this site)

IS IT TRUE before you read rest of todays IS IT TRUE comments please click the attached link concerning Addendum Number Six to the Agreement for Professional Management Services and License for Uses of the Evansville Arena between the City of Evansville and VenueWork/ VW Sports LLC? …attached is the link to Addendum Number Six to the Agreement for Professional Management Services and License for Uses of the Evansville Arena between the City of Evansville and VenueWork/ VW Sports LLC?

Link to  Addendum Six

IS IT TRUE that Addendum Number Six to the Agreement for Professional Management Services and License for Uses of the Evansville Arena between the City of Evansville and VenueWorks/VW Sports LLC  has some very interesting language about what happens to the profits and losses associated with the operation of the Evansville Thunderbolts?…in Section 6 of this agreement it is clearly stated that:  “VenuWorks assumes the operation of the SPHL franchise pursuant to the terms of its operating lease by and between VenueWorks/VW Sports LLC  and Evansville Professional Hockey, LLC (the “Hockey Operating Lease”) shall be entitled to utilize facility staff and resources reasonably necessary in connection of its operation of the SPHL franchise. During any such period during which VenuWorks operates the SPHL franchise, all operating expenses of the SPHL franchise shall be deemed an expense of the Facility and all operating revenue of the SPHL franchise shall be deemed the revenues of the Facility.”

IS IT TRUE the translation of this addendum agreement into common language it seems that all of the financial losses associated with the Evansville Thunderbolts are covered by the City of Evansville?…of course all of the revenue including ticket sales, concessions, and rent are captured by the City of Evansville to offset the losses to the fullest extent that they can?…after reading the entire addendum agreement in many ways it looks like that the Evansville Thunderbolts are and always have been the property of the City of Evansville?…it looks like VW Sports LLC,/VenueWorks may have never had any real financial risk of being stuck with the fruits of their labors with respect to hockey?…this agreement looks like a classic attempt to enabled the City of Evansville to own a commercial enterprise in the form of a hockey team?…per this agreement there may have been an opportunity for VW Sports LLC/VenueWorks to profit from this enterprise but the risk of losses were always destined to be paid for by the City of Evansville?

IS IT TRUE that the CCO has exposed many costly acts of buffoonery over the past 18 years from the $200,000 Earthcare Energy LLC debacle, to the $600,000 purchase of the McCurdy parking lot that was given  to a political crony of a former Mayor, the Homestead Tax Credit grab mastermind by a couple of City and County officials, the $595,000 purchase of the vacant and dilapidated CVS building on North Main to name a few?  …it looks like this deal has all of the hallmarks of similar deception?…we could call this deal SNEGAL (sneaky but legal) but we are not really sure something like setting up a corporation with shareholders who seemly have no real financial risks really meets that definition?…we are certain it was sneaky, but we are not certain this was legal?…it will be interesting if any accountability comes to the “Teflon Republic” (City of Evansville) after this stunt?  … we do believe that no reasonable business or political leader holding a $127 million dollar bond note on a facility losing money (Ford Center) and facing an $8 Million dollar annual bond payment would have ever considered such an “investment” in a minor league ice Hockey team?…if this deal does not merit a forensic audit, nothing ever will?  …we can’t wait to see how the Evansville City Council members, main stream media and the taxpayers of Evansville are going to address this issue?

IS IT TRUE we urge you to read section #4 of Addendum Six posted as Disbursement and Use of Sustained Effort Incentive Fee and tell us what you think about terms offered to VenueWorks by the City of Evansville?  …we know that you will find this an extremely interesting read?

FOOTNOTE:  Todays “READERS POLL” question is Do you feel comfortable with the fact that the owners of VenueWorks now has 100% controlling interest of the Thunderbolt Hockey team?

St. Mary’s Health Foundation Associate Gifts Produce Powerful Philanthropy

St. Mary’s Health Foundation Associate Gifts Produce Powerful Philanthropy

Our associate giving campaign – the Foundation’s Annual Campaign for Excellence – kicked-off in mid-March.

I continue to be inspired by the generosity of our associates, physicians and nurses year after year. The total number of donations each year is approximately $160,000. A significant portion of these dollars raised assists associates with unexpected financial challenges, such as rent payments, utility bills, food, clothing and medications through our Associate Benevolence Fund.

The following is a Thank You Note from one of our recent recipients:

“As a St. Mary’s associate who put her heart and soul into delivering patient care, to be sidelined by Multiple Sclerosis was devastating. In a short period of time, I was the one relying on others to complete life’s basic tasks, which still to this day is very hard for me to accept. The power wheel chair, which was so kindly donated to me from St. Mary’s Health Foundation through the Associate Benevolence Fund, has greatly increased my independence, spirits and the level of hope I proceed forward with in life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the donation of my power wheel chair. Your generous and considerate gift will never be forgotten.”

And, that, my friends, is very powerful philanthropy – philanthropy that changes lives, save lives and transforms lives.

St. Mary’s associates, physicians and nurses are helping us expand our Culture of Philanthropy, because a culture creates change and change ignites impact.

I would like to share more examples of how our associates made an impact through their generosity.

  • An associate was diagnosed with cancer and needed assistance to pay her car insurance and rent. The Associate Benevolence Fund assisted by paying her insurance and rent for two months, which allowed her to pay medical expenses, including chemotherapy.
  • A St. Mary’s Warrick associate received assistance with utilities and other household expenses when he needed to reduce the number of hours he worked in order to attend school and study for his board exams. The Associate Benevolence Fund helped him better himself professionally at a time when he was struggling to work, attend school and provide for his family.Donations to the campaign have also assisted our most vulnerable patients.
    • Since June 2016, St. Mary’s Case Management has seen an increase in the homeless population and the need for medical respite services for patients needing shelter while receiving ongoing medical treatment. The Care of the Poor Fund has helped this population.
    • The Care of the Poor Fund also pays for discharge medications for patients with large co-pays and patients without insurance who cannot afford medications.

These are just some examples of how our associates change, save and transform lives through their generosity.

Every gift to the Foundation’s Annual Campaign for Excellence, regardless of the amount, makes a difference and produces powerful philanthropy. It is philanthropy that creates a culture and ignites impact.

Thank you for Supporting our Healing Ministry!

Blessings,

Rick Peltier

Phone Scam: Fake Sheriff’s Deputy Claims Victim has Arrest Warrant

0
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports of attempted telephone fraud involving a caller claiming to be a sheriff’s deputy. The caller had the ability to “spoof” the victim’s caller ID to make it appear the call originated from the Sheriff’s Office.
The caller claimed that someone in the household had a warrant for their arrest as a result of missing jury duty. The caller knew the correct name of the resident, but did not appear to possess any personally identifiable information. The caller attempted to extort money from the victim in order to have the warrant recalled. The victim recognized the call as a scam and hung up.

The Sheriff’s Office does not solicit the payment of fines or fees over the phone. Area residents are advised to treat any unsolicited caller who requests payment with extreme skepticism, regardless of who the caller claims to represent. When in doubt get the caller’s name, hang up, and then call the business or government entity back at a phone number you know to be correct.
