Happy Birthday Indiana

0

Dear Friend,

Today, the Statehouse was filled with hundreds of fourth-grade students commemorating Indiana Statehood Day 2016. These students from all areas of the state visited at a very special time, as Indiana is celebrating its 200th birthday on Sunday, Dec. 11.

Leading up to this weekend’s Bicentennial Celebration, thousands of Hoosiers in each of Indiana’s 92 counties worked hard to showcase all that makes Indiana unique. To all those who contributed and participated, thank you for leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.

But we aren’t done celebrating yet.

On Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon, you can help recognize this major historical event at Ignite the Future, which takes place at the Indiana State Fairgrounds inside the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. The two-hour program will include a variety of speakers from diverse faith backgrounds as well as music, dancing and more.

A birthday bash is also being hosted by the Indiana Historical Society at the history center from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. There will be daylong activities, crafts, two special productions, a balloon drop and much more.

Indiana has a lot to celebrate, and I look forward to our promising future.

Happy birthday, Indiana! 

State Rep. Wendy McNamara

Carrier Deal Is More Complicated Than You Think

Carrier Deal Is More Complicated Than You Think

By Abdul Hakim Shabazz

Whenever I am asked whether the deal reached between the incoming Trump administration and United Technologies (UT) to keep about 1,000 Carrier manufacturing jobs in Indianapolis was a good or bad idea, my answer is “it’s complicated”.

There are multiple elements to this news.   If I may steal a line from my good friend, Dr. Matt Will at the University of Indianapolis, there’s the personal element, the public relations element and the economic element.  

First the personal, if you are one of the 1,069 individuals the incoming Trump administration says whose job was saved for now, you are pretty darn happy and a lot of us are happy for you.  However, if you’re one of the other 1,100 jobs that have been lost or in the process of being sent south of the border, we feel your pain.

Second is the public relations element, for Donald Trump and Mike Pence this is major victory they can claim and they haven’t even gotten out of the gate yet.  For Carrier, they generate a lot of good will for keeping some jobs in America and that will translate into sales.  On the other hand, what happens in the next instance where jobs are going to be lost?  Will the new administration be able to step in?  For example, the workers at Rexnord, not too far from Carrier are wondering who is going to intervene on their behalf?

Thirdly, and I would argue most important, is the economic element,  Yes, anytime you can keep 1,000 jobs in an area you are going to have a positive impact on the nearby economy.  Also the $7 million the state is providing in performance based incentives over 10 years will be cheaper than the estimated $10,140,000 it could end up paying in unemployment insurance over a 26-week period if all those workers to file and stay on for the full time.  And there’s Carrier’s business model and the response from Wall Street.  When UT announced earlier this year it was shipping jobs to Mexico its stock traded at about $86 per share.  Most recently that number was more than $108.  We’ll see how long that lasts going forward.

And there are lot of questions that go into this mixed bag.  What kind of precedent is being set?  Will this give companies an excuse to strongarm state and local governments into concessions by threatening to leave.  Does this give American workers in the manufacturing sector new hope that their jobs that might be on the line will be saved?  Or will this stifle automation and efficiency that is necessary to keep an industry competitive?   And do we really want our governments “suggesting” to private industry that if they do something the government doesn’t approve “life might get difficult for them”.

There are a lot of questions surrounding the Carrier agreement.  And not only are they complicated, but we may not know the answers for quite a while.

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?

(Week 12 December 2016)

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?

A ninety-five year old guy died of cancer in an Ohio hospital a few days ago. Seems like a rather expected thing. So why all the fuss? I guess you almost have to have gone through those farcical exercises of hiding under your school desk to understand.

Did we really believe such actions would save us from atomic bombs? Maybe so, but it is hard to relate now to those Cold War fears and lack of hope.

After we lost a quarter of a million military personnel in World War II and fifty-eight thousand more in Korea America was about warred out. But the Soviet Union and “Red” China still loomed over us.

When Yuri Gagarin orbited Earth in 1957 we did not have a space program that could get off the ground. Then in April of 1961 our C.I.A. stumbled its way into the disastrous Cuban Bay of Pigs Invasion. This was followed by the closest the world has come to blowing ourselves up during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

America was tired, back on our heels and scared. We were in the crosshairs of enemies on several sides and at a crossroads of ennui. What we needed was what the Greeks needed during the Trojan War. We needed an Achilles to inspire us, a hero whose confidence, ability and bravery could take our minds off of our fear and fire us with a will to win. Enter John Glenn.

This Midwestern, small town, normal sized unassuming product of the Great Depression, World War II, Korea and the Cold War climbed aboard an exploding cannon and rode it around the Earth less than one year after Gagarin thrilled the world and sent us under our desks.

To those of us who lived through the Cold War John Glenn represented the ability to fight back. So when Senator Glenn appeared with Presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy at the Indiana University Auditorium on April 24, 1968, we students who packed the place to boo Kennedy for running against Gene McCarthy turned into hero worshipers when John Glenn appeared.

That’s what a true hero brings out, gratitude and respect. If John Glenn thought Bobby was okay, then he was okay with us. Some might say we were fickle; I say we were converts.

A national hero is an extremely rare person. Adrian Peterson is a great football player and Madonna is a great entertainer, but to call them heroes is to miscomprehend the term. As commentator Charles Krauthammer said, we may have had only two true national heroes in the last one hundred years, Charles Lindbergh and John Glenn. That’s why the old guy’s passing is such a big deal.

Murray State Up Next For UE Men’s Basketball

0

Aces and Racers face off at 3 p.m. Saturday

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – One of the biggest regional rivals is on tap for the University of Evansville men’s basketball team as they play host to Murray State on Saturday at 3 p.m. inside the Ford Center.

On Tuesday, the Purple Aces made it a perfect 5-0 at home with a 69-66 win over Bowling Green at the Ford Center.  Jaylon Brown scored 29 points while hitting 14-of-15 free throws to lead all scorers as he put forth the top home effort of his career.  The Aces led by as many as 11 before several BGSU rallies kept them within striking distance.  With UE up 3 inside the final two minutes, Ryan Taylor made the play of the game; with the Falcons coming in for an open dunk, he came out of nowhere to block the shot and give possession back to UE.

With 29 points against Bowling Green, Jaylon Brown moved to the top of the conference scoring list with 20.0 per game.  The effort was the senior’s top scoring output at the Ford Center and second-best scoring tally of his career.  Brown drained a career-best 14 free throws, a total that was the highest since 2/12/14 when D.J. Balentine knocked down 20 from the line against Illinois State.  His 29 points versus the Falcons saw him reach the 20-point plateau for the fourth time in the last seven games; for the season, he has scored 11 or more points in eight out of nine contests.

Brown looks to make it nine seasons in a row that the Purple Aces have had one of the top three scorers in the Missouri Valley Conference as he follows in the footsteps of D.J. Balentine, Colt Ryan and Shy Ely.  Brown sits atop the MVC scoring list with 20.0 PPG.  Evansville has had the leading scorer in the Valley on four occasions in the last eight seasons and one of the top two seven times in the last eight years.  Below is a list of where the Aces scorers have ranked since 2008-09:

 

2016-17 – 1. Jaylon Brown 20.0 PPG

2015-16 – 1. D.J. Balentine 20.5 PPG

2014-15 – 1. D.J. Balentine 20.1 PPG

2013-14 – 1. D.J. Balentine 22.8 PPG

2012-13 – 2. Colt Ryan 20.1 PPG

2011-12 – 2. Colt Ryan 20.5 PPG

2010-11 – 3. Colt Ryan 15.7 PPG

2009-10 – 2. Colt Ryan 14.5 PPG

2008-09 – 1. Shy Ely 18.9 PPG

 

The win over BGSU marked the third 5-0 start at home for the Aces in the last four seasons.  Last season, UE won its first 11 contests at the Ford Center and finished the year with a 13-3 mark at its home venue.

Murray State enters Saturday’s game with a 4-4 record and are winners of two of their last three contests, including an 86-76 win over Detroit Mercy on December 3.  Jonathan Stark leads the Racers with 22.6 points per game and is coming off of a 27-point effort.  Stark has been named the OVC Newcomer of the Week four times in a row and is 16th in the nation with his scoring average.  The Racers have utilized their outside game this season, knocking down 10.5 triples per game, 16th in the nation.
