YESTERYEAR: The Flood of 1937

The Ohio River has caused numerous episodes of flooding throughout Evansville’s long history, and the “Great Flood” of 1937 still holds the record for high water in the city, cresting at 53.7 feet on February 1. Damage was so severe and widespread that martial law was declared to assist in relief operations, as thousands of families fled their homes. This is a view of Main Street, looking north towards Eighth Street. The Imperial Hotel stands on the left, and the sole vehicle is an Indiana National Guard truck slogging its way down the abandoned street.

AG Zoeller Commends Federal Call To Expand Funding For Opioid Addiction Treatment

AG Zoeller Commends Federal Call To Expand Funding For Opioid Addiction Treatment

As co-chair of Indiana’s Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force,Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said he commends the recent federal proposal to expand funding for addiction treatment programs targeting prescription drug and heroin abuse.

Zoeller met with Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Michael Botticelli in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, just days after the proposal was announced, to express his support of this effort and demonstrate Indiana’s need for more resources to combat opioid abuse and its many ramifications. Director Botticelli was the keynote speaker at Zoeller’s sixth-annual Prescription Drug Abuse Symposium in October 2015.

The federal proposal is calling for $1.1 billion in new funding over the next two years to address the opioid abuse epidemic. The proposal includes funding to expand addiction treatment services and support overdose prevention programs at the state level, including efforts to increase availability of the opioid overdose antidote naloxone.

“The opioid addiction crisis destroying lives and tearing families apart demands more action and better results,” Zoeller said. “The crisis will get much worse this year as we crack down on the oversupply that fuels the abuse, and we must direct our efforts to meaningful treatment options. The devastating drug abuse and disease spread occurring in Scott County puts a face on this issue and underscores Indiana’s need for more state and federal support to get people help and save lives. We simply do not have enough treatment facilities to address the alarming need.”

Zoeller visited Southeast Indiana hospitals today following the recent arrests of 10 individuals accused of illegally supplying meth and Opana, the prescription drug linked to the HIV outbreak where the virus was spread through the use of shared needles by drug abusers. Zoeller met with leaders at Clark Memorial Hospital in Jeffersonville and Floyd Memorial Hospital in New Albany about the impact this drug bust will likely have on the drug-using population in Southeast Indiana, and what assistance the community might need.

Clark Memorial’s beds reserved for addiction treatment are nearly always full and many other area facilities are forced to send patients into Louisville because of lack of treatment options, Zoeller said after his meetings today.

“The problem doesn’t stop when the drug supply dries up in a community. It really only begins,” Zoeller said. “The people hooked on these drugs are left struggling with painful withdrawal symptoms and desperation. If they don’t receive treatment during this critical window, they will likely turn to other, more deadly options, such as opioid-based heroin. The risk for overdose right now is very high.”

Zoeller and members of his Task Force have been reaching out to medical providers, treatment facilities and nonprofits in the days following the drug bust to offer support and share resources, for example the toolkit developed in Allen County to respond to local need after a notorious overprescriberwas stripped of his medical license, leaving behind vulnerable, opioid-addicted patients.

Zoeller is also urging continued participation in his office’s grant program that trains and equips first responders with naloxone. The nonprofit Overdose Lifeline has now been granted up to $400,000 to distribute naloxone into at-risk communities and prevent overdose deaths. First responder agencies can contact Overdose Lifeline about receiving naloxone at FirstResponders@overdose-lifeline.org.

Additionally, Zoeller’s Task Force is advocating for the passage of Senate Bill 297 this legislative session to ensure Indiana’s opioid addiction treatment programs provide comprehensive, evidence-based care focused on long-term recovery.

This legislation, authored by State Sen. Patricia Miller, R-Indianapolis, would also ensure that Indiana’s opioid treatment programs accept health insurance plans covering low-income Hoosiers to ensure that substance abuse treatment services are available to all of those in need. SB 297 passed the Indiana Senate and now moves to the House of Representatives for further consideration.

Visit www.BitterPill.IN.gov for more information and resources for the public on preventing addiction and getting help.

Pence Administration Outlines Resources and Actions Taken Since Carriers’ and United Technologies’ Decision to Relocate to Mexico

Pence Administration Outlines Resources and Actions Taken Since Carriers’ and United Technologies’ Decision to Relocate to Mexico

Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence outlined the State of Indiana’s actions that began last week as soon as news broke that Carrier Corporation and United Technologies would relocate jobs and operations to Mexico. Neither Carrier nor United Technologies provided any advance notification to the State of Indiana that they were moving operations.

“As governor, I was profoundly disappointed to learn that Carrier Corporation and United Technologies would relocate jobs and operations to Mexico, costing hardworking Hoosiers more than 2,100 jobs. My heart goes out to all the families and communities that are affected by this news.”

Helping Hoosier Workers 

“From the moment our administration learned of this announcement, our Department of Workforce Development reached out to employees of both companies to offer job-seeking, training and education resources,” said Governor Pence.

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development has been offering immediate Rapid Response services including, but not limited to:

Immediate onsite contact with employer and employee union representativesAssessment of worker job function and skills

Matching employee skills with open positions in local community

Providing training as necessary to impacted employees to help them gain new employment

Assisting in the application for additional benefits (federal Trade Adjustment Assistance – TAA)

Career counseling and individual case management for each employee

Any affected Hoosier can visit www.workoneworks.com to find their nearest WorkOne location.

“With thousands of positions currently open across Indiana right now and an unemployment rate of 4.4 percent, employers are vigorously competing to fill jobs. In tandem with job creators and local communities, the state is working to ensure quality employment for those affected as quickly as possible,” said DWD Commissioner Steve Braun.

Protecting Taxpayers

“I also instructed the Indiana Economic Development Corporation to review all incentive contracts previously offered to Carrier and United Technologies to evaluate options available to recover taxpayer investments,” Governor Pence continued.
All incentives provided by the IEDC are performance-based, meaning that a company must comply with the expansion or job creation commitments agreed to in their contract with the IEDC in order to be eligible for tax credits and training grants.

The IEDC has existing contracts to provide training grants to both Carrier Corporation and United Technologies. If the companies are found to be non-compliant with those terms, the IEDC will seek to recapture those grants to the maximum extent permitted by the agreement in order to protect Hoosier taxpayers.

The IEDC entered a contract with Carrier Corporation in 2013 to provide up to $200,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. A majority ($197,815.76) of that contract has been awarded. If the company closes its Indianapolis facility, or if the layoffs affect their job commitments noted in the contract, the IEDC will seek to recapture those grants.

The IEDC has two recent contracts with United Technologies Controls. In 2010, the IEDC offered the company up to $182,500 in training grants and has since awarded the full amount to the company. In 2015, the IEDC entered into another contract offering up to $300,000 in training grants based on the company’s plans to create new jobs. In light of this week’s news, the IEDC has de-obligated United Technologies from that $300,000 contract.

Additionally, if the company closes its Huntington facility, or if the layoffs affect their job commitments noted in the 2010 contract, the IEDC will seek to recapture those grants.

Calls for Reform in Washington, D.C.

“Indiana’s economy is growing, fostering record employment and investment. Yet, federal corporate tax rates are among the highest in the developed world, and companies throughout the United States must contend with an overall regulatory burden that has seen, since 1997, regulation on manufacturing by the federal EPA increase over 93 percent,” said Governor Pence.

“Simply put, the loss of these jobs shows the need for reform in our nation’s capital. My administration will continue to stand by working Hoosiers and advocate for changes in Washington, D.C. that encourage investment and job growth.”

NEXT HOME GAMES: FRI. FEB. 26TH & SAT. FEB. 27TH VS, PEORIA MUSTANGS/TICKETS ONLY $ 5 *** ALL THUNDERBOLTS GAMES ARE BROADCAST LIVE ON EVANSVILLE’S WVHI-AM 1330 ***

LIGHTNING BOLTS’ SHOTS: With the past weekend’s slate consisting of three games in three nights at their hockey home of Swonder Ice Arena, the Evansville ThunderBolts of the NA3HL elite junior hockey league will begin the process of embarking on the final 8-games of their inaugural campaign of 2015-16. Under the direction of General Manager/Head Coach Scott Fankhouser, the ThunderBolts will play 5 of those remaining 8-dates at the amiable climes and environs of “Hockey Swonder” with still 3-more sojourns remaining into the hostile territory of foreign ice warfare. Having captured 2-victories thus far this season, the ThunderBolts last triumph was back on January 29th when they recorded their first ever victory at home, clipping Cincinnati, 3-2. Evansville has yet to attain a victory since that historically-significant night, spanning 6-games ago. Returning to the road show this upcoming weekend, the ThunderBolts will be in quest with zest of victory #3 and road win #2. It is on the road where our true hometown team achieved its electrifying first-ever ultimate success in the form of a brilliant come-from behind victory at co-South Division pace-setting Point Mallard, back on January 3rd, 7-4.

THUNDERBOLTS AT THUNDER: The ThunderBolts return to alien ice warfare for the first time since January 9th when they sojourn to Cincinnati to tangle with the Thunder in a two-game series at the historic and venerable Cincinnati Gardens. The weekend set commences this Saturday night at 7:00 pm and concludes with the second installment on Sunday afternoon in a 1:00 pm matinee affair. Radio broadcast times are on the docket for Saturday night at 6:30 pm and Sunday at 12:30 pm on Evansville’s WVHI-AM 1330. Through the 4-previous meetings between the two divisional archenemies, the Thunder have claimed the series advantage at 4(3-1-0) with all 4 of the prior engagements decided in Evansville. The last times these two teams collided were the dates of January 29th and 30th with the series divided. The ThunderBolts gained game one, dramatically, on a late third period strike stoked by Mathieu LaForest with 3:10 remaining to snap a 2-2 deadlock which had been created a mere :08 earlier on a Cincinnati PPG. However, on the following evening, the Thunder exacted retribution and reprisals in a 5-2 triumph.

While the ‘Bolts dropped 3-consecutively the past weekend at home against Atlanta, Cincinnati ventured outside its divisional boundaries to complete a weekend home sweep of Pittsburgh by results of 4-3 (OTSO) and 4-1.The two triumphs halted a Thunder 7-game losing skid at home.

HOME TRIO TRUMPED: Playing an ambitious slate of 3-games in 3-nights on their home base, the ThunderBolts, as has been their on-ice persona all season, were fiercely competitive and combative against a torrid Atlanta team which has compiled the NA3HL’s best record in the South Division for the past 3-years. The ‘Bolts best game of the weekend “Trifecta” was game one on Friday night; a 5-2 outcome. Local product Bryson Linenburg was supreme in goal and the power play continued to shine brightly as defensemen Brian Crink (3) and All-Star Triston Theriot (5) delivered man advantage blue line bazooka blasts 2:49 apart. Game #2 Saturday night produced an 8-3 outcome with recently acquired left wing Cedric Calhoun engineering (1-1-2) with a +1 rating. Brandon Bornkamp took and shook the slumber from his lumber, ending a 10-game goal drought with his team-high 20th; Scott Jacobson notched another ‘Bolts PPG. Then on Sunday, the fledgling franchise lack of depth came home to roost in an 8-3 final. Operating with a depleted roster of only 13-skaters plus 2-goaltenders due to injuries and the absence of All-Stars Bornkamp, Theriot and Jon Grimm, the ThunderBolts were thunderstruck by an Atlanta 5-goal opening period barrage. The power play did strike, again, with Calhoun making connection; Nick Luke also was an Evansville marksman.

TOP PROSPECTS PROUD: For the first three days this week, February 15th through the 17th, the ThunderBolts will have three of their own representing Evansville and the Midwest Division All-Stars in the NA3HL’s Annual Top Prospects Tournament. Center Brandon Bornkamp, left wing Jon Grimm and defenseman Triston Theriot will be in the lineup at the USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, MI. The threesome will see action in three games in three days, returning back to the ThunderBolts immediately following the conclusion of the tourney.

“CC” SNIPING: Recently acquired left wing Cedric Calhoun appears to have transitioned rather seamlessly in his new team’s lineup. Obtained in a deal with the NA3HL Pittsburgh Vengeance, the Fargo, ND product has generated some positive and polished offensive prowess to the ‘Bolts scoring attack. In the latter 2-games of the 3-game series against Atlanta, he authored 3-points on 2-goals, 1-assists and 1-PPG. On Saturday night, in addition to his masterful 2-points performance, Calhoun also carded a +1 rating.

“LINDY” LARCENY: Goaltender Bryson Linenburg earned the start in game one of the weekend series on Friday night and did not disappoint. The local product from Central High School was acclaimed the “Penn Station ThunderBolts Star of the Game” in rebuking 43 of 48-Atlanta shots despite the 5-2 setback. Making his second start of the weekend on Sunday, Linenburg was kept under a constant siege from the Capitals vast array of offensive weaponry, facing an exorbitant 73-shots, making a club single game season high of 65-saves.

“BLAZE” OF GLORY: On Sunday night, the ThunderBolts played game #3 of their weekend series against the Atlantans with the severely expurgated roster. For right wing Ian Blaeser, it was an opportunity to get more ice time. He made his night a productive one, crafting assists on both of his team’s goals. For his offensive exploits, Blaeser was hailed the “Penn Station ThunderBolts Star of the Game.”

THE BEN BLOCKADE: Unsung and unheralded defenseman Ben Baker finally achieved some long overdue notice the past weekend for the ThunderBolts. Another of the Indiana homegrown standouts gracing this debuting season roster, the native of Indianapolis has gained the richly earned and deserved reputation for his fearless shot- blocking prowess. On Saturday night, he contributed offensively, collecting his first assist, first point of the season. Baker was proclaimed the “Penn Station ThunderBolts Star of the Game.”

EXTRA MAN MAGIC: The ThunderBolts power play has been a kinetic constant all season long. The consistency of its proficiency has been a real beacon in the night for our hometown team. In the 3-game weekend series against Atlanta, the extra man band orchestrated a minimum of one strike in each contest. Compositely, for the weekend, it was a prolific-terrific 4-11 for a superb rating of 36.4%. Overall, it is 10 for the last 35 for a rating mark of 28.6%.

POINTS PERSONIFIED: The ThunderBolts top 10 list: 1- Jon Grimm 36(15-23-38); 2- Brandon Bornkamp 38(20-18-38); 3- Mike Kellley 34(10-19-29); 4- Brandon Rozema 36(10-8-18); 5- Triston Theriot 38(5-12-17); 6- Billy Bonser 36(8-7-15); 7- Mathieu LaForest 35(4-11-15); 8- Brian Crink 39(3-9-12); 9- Cedric Calhoun 27(4-3-7); 10- Kyle Nikles 34(3-4-7); 10- Scott Jacobson 27(3-4-7); 10- Zack Faith 28(1-6-7).

SHOTS ON GOAL GALORE: In the three game series the past weekend at Swonder Ice Arena, the ThunderBolts and the Capitals combined for a total of 269-SOG for a game average of 89.7 SOG per game. In game one Friday night, Atlanta outshot the ‘Bolts, 48-34; Saturday night the differential was 57-20 and Sunday night, it was 73-37 as the two teams combined for 110-SOG. In that same Sunday night game, Atlanta outshot Evansville in the first period, 30-3 with the 30-SOG representing the most the ThunderBolts have allotted in a single period thus far this season. Moreover, the ThunderBolts 23-SOG in the second stanza were a one period best for them this season while Atlanta’s total of 73-SOG for the game were the most ever allowed by the ThunderBolts in one game.

FEW FUN FAST FACTS FROM “FIC:” The ‘Bolts 2-PPG 2:49 apart in the third period Friday were their second fastest 2-PPG in one game. It also marked the seventh time this season in which the ‘Bolts have delivered multiple PPG games and the second time this season in which they have scored 2-PPG in a single period. The ‘Bolts have scored the game’s FG in only 7 of 39-games thus far this season. The ‘Bolts are 5(0-5-0) in February with all 5-games played on home ice at Swonder .On Saturday night, left wing Brandon Rozema had his 6-game point streak stopped; 6(4-5-9). It tied for the second longest on the club this season. Evansville is the lone team in the league without the benefit of a SHG while surrendering 10-SHGA. The ThunderBolts now have 4-players who have reached double-figures in goal scoring artistry; Brandon Bornkamp (20); Jon Grimm (15); Mike Kelley (10); Brandon Rozema (10). Steven Rutherford has eclipsed the century plateau in topping the ‘Bolts in PIM with 105. Eleven of Triston Theriot’s 16-total points this season have been brewed on the power play. In his last 14-games, Mathieu LaForest is 14(3-8-11); in his last 13-games, Brian Crink is 13(2-5-7).

THE THUNDERBOLTS RADIO UPDATE: ThunderBolts fans can stay up to date everyday even when there is not a game. It’s “The ThunderBolts Hockey Update,” Monday through Friday at 5:00 pm on WVHI-AM 1330 and at 2:30 pm on WEOA-AM 1400 and WEOA-FM Magic 98.5.

Why I Am Running For Public Office By Nicholas Wildeman

Why I Am Running For Public Office

By: Nicholas Wildeman

 First and foremost, please allow me to begin by stating that I love the Tristate area. I have been very fortunate that Evansville, and the surrounding cities, towns, counties, etc., have offered me many opportunities. My parents worked very hard to afford to put me through school at St. Philips and then Mater Dei. It was their work ethic(s) that led me to charge through a Bachelor’s Degree of Business Administration and a Master’s Degree of Public Administration, both at the University of Southern Indiana.

It is the same drive that fueled me through my collegiate endeavors that also energizes me regarding public policy. I am not beholden to any dominant party ideology – Instead, I am a student of strong fiscal understanding and sound public policy. I understand decisions must sometimes be made that may not always please everyone around me, but I feel my educational training, as well as my professional experiences, make me uniquely qualified to serve Vanderburgh County as Councilman.

I am excited to potentially have the chance to serve Vanderburgh County as Councilman. I realize that the decisions made today will have lasting effects on both my son and currently unborn child. It is that realization and focus on the future that I will carry with me in my duties as Councilman. Please consider helping make my dream of serving Vanderburgh County a reality.

God Bless,

Nicholas J. Wildeman

Evansville, IN – The Black Jacket Symphony offers a unique concert experience through recreating classic albums in a live performance setting. A selected album is performed in its entirety by a group of handpicked musicians specifically selected for each album, with no sonic detail being overlooked–the musicians do whatever it takes to musically reproduce the album.

The performance is separated into two sets. The first set features the album being recreated as a true symphonic piece. The second set, which features a selection of the album artist’s “greatest hits,” opens in full contrast to the first set with an incredible light display and the symphony being much more laid back. The tone is set very quickly that the show will feature the high level of musicianship of the act being covered and will also be accompanied by all the bells and whistles of a major rock and roll show.
