Indianapolis – Today at the Indianapolis Colts season opener, Governor Mike Pence and First Lady Karen Pence honored Indiana Olympians who competed in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
“We are so proud to have watched our Indiana Olympians compete on the world stage at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio,†said Governor Pence. “Each of these athletes’ heroic feats speak to the American spirit; tales of perseverance, strength, sacrifice and triumph. But for all of their achievements, we are especially proud of the Hoosier-rooted hard work and compassion that shaped them along the way. We were grateful today to honor each of  them with a Sagamore of the Wabash to mark their historic contributions to our Hoosier heritage.â€
The Governor, First Lady and Lieutenant Governor Eric Holcomb, along with the Indiana Olympians Association, Indiana Sports Corp and the Indianapolis Colts celebrated the Team USA members at a private reception before the Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium. The First Lady, Indiana’s Bicentennial Ambassador, also honored each Olympian with an Indiana Bicentennial Commemorative Medal, a special memento to commemorate the state’s 200 years of history.
This year, Indiana alone sent 20 athletes to the Olympics, bringing home 15 medals. The following athletes took part in today’s ceremony.

University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer freshman defender Justin Brook (Fishers, Indiana) scored with 5:52 left in double-overtime to lead the Screaming Eagles to a 2-1 victory over Maryville University Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. USI boosts its record to 3-1-0 overall and 1-1-0 in the GLVC, while Maryville falls to 2-2-0, 0-2-0 GLVC.
In the second overtime, USI sophomore midfielder Hayden Sovar (Owensboro, Kentucky) pushed the ball through the Maryville defense to Brooks, who streaked down the middle of the field to score the game-winning goal. The goal was Brooks’ second of the season.
In regulation, the Eagles fell behind late in the first half when the Saint’s Joergen Pettersen headed the ball over USI junior goalkeeper Adam Zehme (Orland Park, Illinois) for a 1-0 lead at 37:26. The Saints would hold the 1-0 lead through halftime.
In the second half, USI would dominate and finally got the equalizer at 79:57 when freshman midfielder Sean Rickey (Columbia, Illinois) recorded his second goal of the year. He also was assisted on his goal by Sovar.
Between the posts, Zehme was able to pick up his third victory of the season. He allowed the one goal in 104:08 minutes of action, making seven saves.
The Eagles return to the road next week when they travel to Quincy University September 16 and Truman State University September 18. The next home games for USI come on September 23 and September 25 when the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and Lewis University visit Strassweg Field.

The Indiana Court of Appeals Reversed Summary Judgment In Favor Of Construction Supplier
Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com
on its breach of contract claim against a builder to which it provided a line of credit. The appellate court agreed with the defendants’ claims that the lawsuit was time-barred.
V. Ganz Builders and Development Co. Inc. signed an application for a line of credit with Michigan-City based Pioneer Lumber Inc. The company also signed a credit account agreement and VGB president Vladimir Ganz secured the line of credit with a personal guaranty agreement.
Both the line of credit and the credit account had unpaid balances as of January and February 2006. Pioneer filed its lawsuit in November 2012 alleging VGB had breached the credit account agreement by failing to make timely payments on its purchases and that Ganz had defaulted on the guaranty agreement by failing to pay VGB’s debts.
VGB didn’t assert that Pioneer’s claims were time-barred by the six-year statute of limitation on actions on accounts and contracts not in writing under I.C. 34-11-2-7 until it filed a counter motion on Pioneer’s motion for summary judgment as to liability and damages.
The trial court granted summary judgment as to liability in favor of Pioneer. At a bench trial on damages, the court awarded Pioneer more than $61,000 in unpaid balances, finance charges and attorney fees.
VGB filed a motion to correct error, which was denied, leading to the appeal.
The COA rejected Pioneer’s claims that the VGB’s motion to correct error wasn’t timely filed and that the appellants can’t challenge the trial court’s ruling because they didn’t timely appeal after the summary judgment ruling. Judge Terry Crone pointed out that the summary judgment order was interlocutory because the court didn’t rule on every issue.
The appeals court ruled that VGB is entitled to summary judgment on its statute of limitations defense. For purposes of I.C. 34-11-3-1, the phrase “date of the last item proved in the account on either side†means the last charge to or the last payment made on the accounts governed by the line of credit. Based on the six-year statutory limitations period, Pioneer had to bring its claims by January and February 2006, but did not. And Pioneer designated no contrary evidence in its response to VGB’s counter motion for summary judgment. Crone also wrote that Pioneer’s assertion on appeal that the statute of limitations was tolled by Ganz’s oral promise in December 2007 to satisfy the debt in full is unsupported by any citation to authority, and therefore waived.
Ganz is also entitled to summary judgment on the statute of limitations defense regarding the personal guaranty claim. Even assuming that Pioneer gave Ganz several additional months to pay the debt, its claim against Ganz accrued more than six years before it filed the complaint, so it was untimely.
The case, V. Ganz Builders and Development Co., Inc., and Vladimir Ganz v. Pioneer Lumber, Inc., 64A03-1602-CC-432, is remanded for further proceedings.
Funding Terrorism: U.S. Reportedly Gave $33 Billion to Iran…In Cash and Gold
Katie Pavlich for TOWNHALL
Over the past weeks there has been much controversy surrounding the $400 million cash payment made to Iran and delivered by cargo plane in the middle of the night in exchange for four American hostages. Cash of course is the currency of terrorists because unlike digital transfers, it cannot be tracked. Iran is unabashedly the world’s largest state sponsor of terror.
When the news first broke, the White House and the State Department strongly denied the payment was ransom, said it was part of the nuclear agreement and argued the payment was money owed to the Iranians since the 1970s. As pressure and evidence began to mount, the State Department finally admitted the cash was in fact paid to the Iranians with the promise hostages would be released.
But now, reporting from the Washington Free Beacon shows the U.S. may have paid Iran as much as $33.6 billion in cash.
Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran.
Between January 2014 and July 2015, when the Obama administration was hammering out the final details of the nuclear accord, Iran was paid $700 million every month from funds that had previously been frozen by U.S. sanctions.
A total of $11.9 billion was ultimately paid to Iran, but the details surrounding these payments remain shrouded in mystery, according to Mark Dubowitz, executive director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
In total, “Iran may have received as much as $33.6 billion in cash or in gold and other precious metals,†Dubowitz disclosed.
The White House and State Department have admitted it is not unlikely at least some of the money paid to the Iranian regime will be used to fund terrorism. Keep in mind Hezbollah, one of the largest terror networks in the world funded by Iran, was responsible for more American deaths than any other terrorist organization prior to September 11, 2001.
