AG Zoeller, Colts invite students  to enter #kickRxabuse video challenge 

0

Winner will meet Adam Vinatieri, get VIP Colts tickets & have video broadcast on Colts media 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and the Indianapolis Colts invite Hoosier middle and high school students to enter the #kickRxabuse video challenge to help combat teen prescription drug abuse.

To enter the contest, Indiana students from grades 6 through 12 must create and upload a 30-second YouTube video that highlights the dangers of abusing prescription medications using the hashtag #kickRxabuse.

The #kickRxabuse video challenge is being led by Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri who urges students to join the fight against prescription drug abuse in his own 30-second YouTube video.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, one in five 12th grade students has abused prescription drugs in their lifetime.

“The prescription drug abuse epidemic in our state is filtering down to our kids, and the result is often a lifetime of bad choices, continued drug use and deadly addiction,” said Zoeller, co-chair of the Indiana Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force. “Just because they are prescribed by a doctor and can be found in the home medicine cabinet does not mean these drugs are safe. I’m challenging parents, teachers and student leaders to have these conversations and help combat abuse before it starts.”

Students must submit their videos to the #kickRxabuse challenge by Oct. 1, and the winning video will be selected based on impact, creativity and number of YouTube views. The winning video will be featured on the Attorney General’s website www.BitterPill.IN.gov as well as on the official Colts website, social media and Colts programming.

The student who created the winning video will get to tour the Colt’s complex and meet Adam Vinatieri. They will also get four VIP Colts game tickets, free dinner at the Colts Grille and a limo ride to and from dinner. The student’s winning school will receive a $5,000 cash prize donated by the Indianapolis Colts.

BREAKING NEWS: Dr. Bucshon Echoes Concern with Administration’s Ransom Payment to Iran

PRESS RELEASE

Dr. Bucshon Echoes Concern with Administration’s Ransom Payment to Iran

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) –Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. echoed House Speaker Paul Ryan’s call for accountability and an explanation regarding the Administration’s reported $400 million cash ransom payment to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“The Obama Administration should immediately provide an explanation to the American people and Congress regarding reports that it paid $400 million in cash as a ransom to the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism and should be held accountable if those reports are true.”

In a statement, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said, “If true, this report confirms our longstanding suspicion that the administration paid a ransom in exchange for Americans unjustly detained in Iran. It would also mark another chapter in the ongoing saga of misleading the American people to sell this dangerous nuclear deal. Yet again, the public deserves an explanation of the lengths this administration went to in order to accommodate the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.”

BACKGROUND:

According to a reporter by the Wall Street Journal, “the Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran,” as a down payment on $1.7 billion the U.S. Treasury Department paid to Iran.

According to the State Department, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been officially designated a State-Sponsor of Terrorism dating back to 1984.
Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. is a physician and Republican member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee serving his third term representing Indiana’s 8th Congressional district. The 8th District of Indiana includes all or parts of Clay, Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Greene, Knox, Martin, Owen, Parke, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Sullivan, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Vigo, and Warrick counties.

The Wild Things started the game off with bases loaded, but the Otters defense clamped down and allowed one run. The Otters would go on to score two runs and have five hits in the first. Chris Breen would knock in Josh Allen with an RBI-single, and Christopher Riopedre would then score Breen with his own single.

The Otters would shut the Wild Things down for zero hits in the second, and the Otters would add another run to the board after a wild pitch would bring in Kolten Yamaguchi. In the third the Wild Things only managed one hit. The Otters would go on for three hits and score three runs. Riopedre would find himself another RBI by scoring Breen with a double. Jeff Gardner would give himself an RBI scoring Nik Balog with a sac-fly into center field. No runs would be scored by either team until Wild Things, Logan Uxa, hit his sixth home run of the season.

With a 5-2 lead, the Otters brought in Randy McCurry to close out the game. McCurry would allow one run, but received his 18th save on the season. Preston Olson started on the rubber and received the win for the Otters and allowed three hits and two runs in his six innings pitched. Olson moved to four and two on the season. Luke Wilkins received the loss tonight allowing ten hits and five runs in his six innings pitched. Wilkins moved to two and four on the season.

IS IT TRUE AUGUST 3, 2016

72

IS IT TRUE in a predictable pre-election move the Vanderburgh County Council announces plans to cut about $3.5 million from the proposed 2017 budget?  …the President of the County Council Angela Koehler Lindsey, R-At-Large said one reason for the budget increasing is because of a projected 12% increase in costs of health insurance costs? … get ready for County Council members to start making conservative comments why they must cut $3 million plus from the proposed 2017 budget? …this is a developing story so let the political show begin?

IS IT TRUE that the projected 12% increase in County employee health insurance by the Vanderburgh County Council for this coming year may also cause the Evansville City Council major budget challenges?  …we wonder was this one of the reasons why City Council Finance Chairman Dan McGinn tried to sneak through a resolution to reduce the 2017 Homestead Tax from 8% to 6% because the City need the money to pay for the projected increased of city employee health insurance?

IS IT TRUE it look like a former member of Evansville City Council warning that major increases in the city employees heath insurance is on the horizon and shall cause serious budget woes in the future was spot on?  …let the political finger pointing begin?

IS IT TRUE CCO poster Ruffus B made the following comments we found interesting and worth re-posting?
…. he stated the following: “Sources close to the Controller’s office indicate that when Russ without Council’s approval transferred 12.5 million from the Riverboat fund into the General Fund it prevented the GF from going negative by $6 million. Unfortunately, this was clearly noticeable in the Annual Financial Statements that were given to McGinn and Hargis. Now, at June 30, 2016, the GF indicates 3.9 mil but if the 12.5 mil was properly repaid to the Riverboat funds the GF is negative by 8.2 mil ..but Russ Failed to properly transfer 7.5 million into the Hospitalization Fund because that fund is NEGATIVE by 7.5 million.”

IS IT TRUE nine Vanderburgh County jail inmates were formally charged for their alleged roles in a “jailhouse riot” on July 26? … all of the defendants charges including counts of aiding, inducing or causing battery to a public safety officer, resisting law enforcement and rioting? …we hope that the Judge throws the book at these idiots? …we are extremely pleased with the public statement made by Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding that “We’re going to run the jail, the inmates aren’t.”? …all we can tell the Sheriff Wedding is the heck with political correctness and tell it like it is?

IS IT TRUE we are hearing that another back room political patronage deal may be in the making?  …we have been told that the deal is concerning the hiring of two new employees for the newly created Evansville Land Bank?  …we hear that at least one Land Bank applicant has solid record of landing political patronage positions in Vanderburgh County proper?  …we wonder why these positions haven’t been publicly advertised so qualified unemployed citizens of Evansville could apply for these well paying positions?  …we hope that city officials well do proper vetting of all applicants of the Evansville Land Bank?  ..if you are interested in applying for the above positions please contract DMD Director Kelly Coures or his assistant Jane Reel soon as possible?

IS IT TRUE we would like to welcome William Wolkoff from Cleveland, Ohio to the staff of Channel TV 44 and Evansville?   …William was a News Content Specialist at WXIX-TV Cincinnati? … Wolkoff says, “Evansville is my kind of town, I grew up in a blue-collar town where nothing is given and everything is earned”?  …William is a graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor’s in Electronic Media?

FOOTNOTE:  Todays READERS POLL question is: Should City Council Finance Chairman Dan McGinn and Controller Russ Lloyd Jr start speaking out on the 2017 budget shortfalls?
