Sullivan Works To Expand Pre-K Pilot Program

2

 State Rep. Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) is co-authoring legislation that would expand Indiana’s pre-K pilot program for low income students.

The current On My Way Pre-K pilot program was established in 2014 and serves nearly 2,300 students in Allen, Lake, Marion, Jackson and Vanderburgh counties. Sullivan’s legislation would add up to five more counties.

Children who aren’t ready for Kindergarten are half as likely to read proficiently by third grade. Students who aren’t reading proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school before graduation, Sullivan said.

“This is one more tool we can use to help close the achievement gap for low-income, at-risk children,” Sullivan said. “As a parent, I understand that one of the most effective ways to support our youth is to offer them high-quality early childhood education opportunities. If we better equip our children through early education and necessary wrap around services it will provide benefits to the entire state.”

Sullivan said that over time, this program will increase graduation rates, decrease need for remediation and improve wage-earning potential for Indiana’s youth.

House Bill 1004 has been assigned to the House Committee on Education.

“Operation Double Dip” Prevents Would-Be Hunters from Claiming Residency in Two States

Indianapolis – Indiana Conservation Officers and Illinois Conservation Police investigated cases of hunting license/permit fraud beginning in early 2015 extending through 2016 that has resulted in over $85,000 in fines and restitution.

“Operation Double Dip was started to investigate individuals who claim residency in Illinois and Indiana in order to purchase hunting licenses/deer permits at the cheaper resident rate,” said Sgt. David Hyatt, Illinois Conservation Police.  “This is a case that protects the privileges of our legitimate resident hunters and ensures that each state receives the funding needed for Fish and Wildlife projects.”

Both Indiana and Illinois law state, “No person may claim residency in more than one state at the same time for the purpose of purchasing resident hunting or fishing licenses.”  This investigation revealed that many of the defendants had defrauded the state for several years.

211 counts of falsification were filed in the state of Illinois.  A one hundred percent conviction rate was recorded against all Illinois defendants who have been ordered to pay over $65,000 in restitution and fines.  Prosecution was handled by the Illinois Attorney General’s office and the Sangamon County State’s Attorney’s office.

“Conservation Law Enforcement is an important component in the protection and continual improvement of our state’s natural resources,” said Colonel Danny L. East, Indiana DNR Law Enforcement Division Director.  “The cooperative efforts of both Indiana and Illinois law enforcement divisions were vital to the success of this case.”

A total of 21 years of hunting privilege revocations were ordered against Illinois defendants.

Indiana has recorded an estimated 57 defendants because of this investigation.  The majority of Indiana cases are still pending and final amount of charges has not been determined.  $20,581.50 in restitution has been ordered and 12 years of hunting privileges have been revoked against Indiana defendants, so far in this case.

Taylor scores 50 in Eagles win!

0

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana senior guard Jeril Taylor (Louisville, Kentucky) scored a record 50 points in the Screaming Eagles’ 111-89 victory over Truman State University Thursday evening in Kirksville, Missouri. USI sees its record go to 15-0 overall and 5-0 in the GLVC, while Truman goes to 12-4, 4-2 GLVC.

Taylor’s 50 points surpassed the 26-year old single-game mark of Chris Bowles, who had 45 points in the 1991 overtime win at Northern Kentucky University. The 50-points also was two points shy of the GLVC single-game record of 52 set in 1988 by the University of Indianapolis’ Gary Paul and tied in 2009 by the University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s LaVontay Fenderson and in 2016 by Lewis University’s Max Strus.

Overall in the game, Taylor was a blistering 13-of-15 from the field, a USI three-point field goal percent record of nine-of-nine (1.000) from beyond the arc, and 15-of-20 from the charity stripe. He also had a game-high nine rebounds and a team-high six assists.

In the game’s first half, USI led by as many as 15 points twice in building a 62-50 lead at the intermission. The Eagles, led by Taylor, were a blistering 60 percent from the field (22-36), 63.6 percent from beyond the arc (7-11), and 81.3 percent from the charity stripe (13-16). Taylor dropped in nine-of-10 from the field, six-of-six from long range, and 11-of-12 from the line for a USI first-half record 35 points.

The second half saw the Bulldogs made a run at the Eagles as they cut 12-point halftime lead to eight points four times during the final half before USI closed out the final five minutes with a 17-3 run to seal the 111-89 victory.

Four Eagles joined Taylor in posting double-digits in the scorning column tonight. Junior forward Julius Rajala (Finland) was second on the team with 12 points, while senior guard Cortez Macklin (Louisville, Kentucky) and junior guard Marcellous Washington (Lexington, Kentucky) had 11 points each. Sophomore guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10 points.

As a team, USI won the battle on the boards for 11th-straight game, 42-35, and shot a red-hot 68.4 percent from long range (13-19).

The Eagles conclude the road trip Saturday with their first ranked opponent of the year when they visit 24th-ranked Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois. The Hawks watched their record go to 15-2 overall and 5-1 in the GLVC after losing in overtime, 103-96, to ninth-ranked Bellarmine University at home tonight.

USI leads the all-time series, 29-10, and has a 9-5 advantage at Pepsi Arena in Quincy, Illinois. The Hawks defeated the Eagles last year at the PAC, 96-92, with senior guard Bobo Drummond and Taylor leading the way with 25 and 20 points, respectively, for USI.
