Governor Mike Pence has signed a proclamation declaring tomorrow Statehood Day in the state of Indiana.

 

“This Statehood Day, we will reflect on the remarkable progress Hoosiers have charted over our 199 years of history,” said Governor Pence. “In commemorating this special birthday, we usher in a historic, year-long bicentennial celebration of the enduring Hoosier spirit and the future that lies before us.”

 

To mark the 199th anniversary of Indiana becoming the nineteenth state in the Union, the Governor and First Lady Karen Pence will welcome Hoosier fourth graders to stations in the Statehouse Rotunda on Friday, December 11 as part of the annual Statehood Day events.

 

Students who visit the Governor’s booth will have the opportunity to depict what they would try to accomplish if they were governor. They will also be able to learn some interesting facts about Indiana through an interactive display that showcases what the state has to offer.

 

Fourth graders who visit the First Lady’s booth will be greeted by Pence family pets Marlon Bundo, a rabbit, and Saphira, a snake. Both family pets will remain in their respective cage and aquarium throughout the duration of the event.

A copy of the Governor’s proclamation can be found attached.

IS IT TRUE that our City Council “MOLES” tell us that City Council President elect Missy Mosby shall appoint 1st Ward Republican Dan McGinn as the next Council Finance Chairman? …she is also expected to appoint Connie Robinson as Public Works Chairperson and Dan Adams the ASC Chairman? …we can’t wait to see who Ms. Mosby appoints to Boards and Commissions?
IS IT TRUE  that George Lumley is trying to fix what is broken in Evansville with his “Let’s Fix That” initiative campaign? …that he wants to promote thriving neighborhoods by using existing resources efficiently and effective?  …that he is currently focused on preserving revenues from the tax collection (tax sale) process to provide code enforcement services?
IS IT TRUE that the City of Evansville claims to have run out of money for simple code enforcement task such as cutting weeds and remediating trashed properties some months back?  …that in some areas the uncut growth actually blocks sidewalks?
IS IT TRUE that revenues from fines for these conditions that should remediate these conditions even exceed General Fund expenditures for them? …the revenues that should be used to fund enforcement remediation are actually funding other General Fund priorities?
IS IT TRUE that George Lumley recently informed the current Evansville City Council and newly elected City Council members that this is unacceptable?  …that George Lumley just provided  the CCO a picture of one of many instances that simple code enforcement issues are going unfunded?

IS IT TRUE we suggest that you look at the attached picture of a near downtown sidewalk that is blocked by “Polk Berry” weeds that grew all summer? …yesterday we noticed  there is now a muddy path around this obstruction?

IS IT TRUE you should watch for the video of George Lumley’s visit to be posted on our video section later today and the followup series “lets Fix That” features.

IS IT TRUE that our City Council “MOLES” tell us that Council President Missy Mosby elect shall appoint fiscal liberal 1st Ward Republican Dan McGinn as the next Council Finance Chairman? …she is also expected to appoint Connie Robinson as Public Works Chairperson and Dan Adams the ASC Chairman? …we can’t wait to see who Ms. Mosby appoints to Boards and Commissions?

IS IT TRUE todays “READERS POLL” question is: “Do you feel that Missy Mosby will do an outstanding job as the next President of the Evansville City Council”?

UE Seniors Receive Orr Fellowships

0

For the past three years, the Schroeder School of Business at the University of Evansville has welcomed the Orr Fellowship to UE to recruit students for its highly esteemed program. This year, UE seniors Dev Machowiak, Holyn Marshall, and Kaitlin Koenig have been offered Orr Fellowships.

This prestigious fellowship provides Indiana’s top recent college graduates with paid opportunities to work with and learn from Indiana’s best business executives and companies. Fellows are paid a salary by their host company during the fellowship, which lasts two years. Orr fellows receive executive-level mentorship, and have the opportunity to build professional networks. They attend business leader meetings, and become part of a peer network of other talented recent graduates.

During their fellowships, Machowiak will be employed at Bluebridge, Marshall will be working at Angie’s List, and Koenig will be employed at Clear Software. Machowiak is a sociology major from South Bend, Indiana. Marshall is a business major from Bentonville, Arkansas. Koenig is a global business major from Zionsville, Indiana.

In order to qualify for the Orr Fellowship applicants must have:

• Cumulative 3.5 GPA or higher (students with as low as a 3.2 GPA will be considered if they have extensive leadership experience)

• Demonstrated leadership potential (leaders in on- and off-campus clubs/organizations/athletics)

• Strong interest in entrepreneurial business or organizational leadership

• Graduate of an Indiana college or university (or a native Hoosier graduating from any school around the country)

Sethlyn Morgan, director of UE’s School of Business’s Center for Career Success, credits UE alumni Brandon Ford and Connor Donnelly, for encouraging current UE students to pursue the fellowship. Both Ford and Donnelly are former UE business majors. Ford is a past Orr Fellow and Donnelly is currently an Orr Fellow.

“They have provided continuous support through presentations, mentorships and career advice,” says Morgan. “It is always nice to have our alumni come back to UE and foster the professional development and success of current students. They don’t have to do that. I think the fact that they do is a testament to how they feel about the University. And how highly they regard the quality of our students.”

Governor Pence Endorses Local Road Funding Legislation

0

Governor Mike Pence today announced support for legislation filed by Senator Brandt Hershman to immediately provide $418 million to local governments to fund local transportation infrastructure projects.

 

This local road funding legislation complements the 21st Century Crossroads plan Governor Pence outlined in October, which will make $1 billion in new road funding available over the next four years. Both proposals bring forward new infrastructure funding without raising taxes.

 

“I strongly support Senator Hershman’s plan to help communities fund infrastructure improvements, and I commend his leadership,” said Governor Pence. “Our teams have been working closely on this plan to provide funding at the local level without raising taxes. I will be including this initiative as part of my legislative agenda for the upcoming session and look forward to its passage along with the 21st Century Crossroads plan that Senator Yoder will be authoring. Hoosiers know that roads mean jobs at the state and local level. I couldn’t be more pleased to partner with Senators Hershman, Yoder and Kenley to ensure that Indiana remains the Crossroads of America, and this administration will continue to work with members of the Indiana General Assembly to aggressively fund our infrastructure in a responsible manner.”

 

This week Governor Pence announced major infrastructure investments on I-65 in Lake County, I-69 in Greene and Monroe counties and the modernization of State Road 37 in Hamilton County. Last Sunday, Governor Pence joined Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark completion of the Abraham Lincoln Bridge in Clark County.

 

IceMen Halt Streaking Walleye With Comeback Win

0

Trailing 2-0 midway through the second period, the Evansville IceMen battled back to score three unanswered goals on their way to a 3-2 win Wednesday against the Toledo Walleye at the Huntington Center. The win snapped a three game skid for the IceMen and ended Toledo’s ten game unbeaten streak.

Toledo capitalized on two of its first three power-play opportunities to jump out to a two-goal lead. Alden Hirschfeld scored on a rebound with 4:11 left in the first period to put the Walleye in front during a man-advantage. Hirschfeld picked up another power-play goal just over five minutes into the second period to give the Walleye a 2-0 lead. It was his league-leading seventh power-play tally of the season.

Meanwhile, Evansville failed to convert on its four power-plays in the first two periods and were kept off the board when Daultan Leveille was stopped on a penalty shot by Walleye goaltender Jake Paterson. However, the IceMen cut the lead in half when Justin MacDonald was caught from behind on a breakaway by Jared Nightengale, who accidentally swept the puck through the five-hole of his own goaltender to give Evansville life.

MacDonald buried his second goal of the game on a rebound for the equalizer 4:25 into the third period, and Leveille completed the comeback after he scooped up a rebound and shot it over a sprawling Paterson during Evansville’s fifth power-play to put the IceMen ahead 3-2. Evansville goalie Matt Zenzola made 29 saves in the victory in his ECHL debut, while Paterson stopped 32 in the loss.

Evansville returns home to host the Cincinnati Cyclones Friday at 7:15pm at the Ford Center. Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.com or the Ford Center Ticket Office. Discounted tickets are available for groups of ten people or more by calling an IceMen Account Executive at 812-421-GOAL (4625).

The Hoosier Lottery is presenting IceMen Bingo Friday. All fans 18-years-old and over will receive a bingo card with hockey related squares to check off during the game. The first 100 people to turn in their card with a Bingo will receive a Hoosier Lottery Prize Pack. Then, the first five people who turn in a full Bingo card will receive a different prize.

The IceMen then head to Cincinnati Saturday night for the rematch at US Bank Arena, before wrapping up the week in Fort Wayne Sunday at Memorial Coliseum.
