IS IT TRUE OCTOBER 7, 2015

29

IS IT TRUE we are hearing that people against consolidation are reminding the voters of Evansville about Mayor Winnecke’s strong pro-consolidation stance on attempting to force City and County Government to merge into one entity?  …they are also reminding the voters that 59%  of people voting on this issue rejected the Mayors plea to merge the City with the County?  …we also hear that are reminding voters that Gail Riecken strongly  opposed merging the City and County into one Governmental entity?

IS ITB TRUE charity is defined as benevolent goodwill toward or love of humanity?  …this is a great personal trait, but should our tax dollars be spent while being charitable?  …last  weekend a charitable fundraiser held at Bennett Motors was manned by both on duty police officers and staff along with officers working overtime that got paid at time and one half rate?  …it would had made good economic sense if all the EPD police officers would had volunteered their time to work at this worthy charitable event since the City just borrowed $8 million dollars to pay overdue bills and make payroll?

IS IT TRUE that the  article we posted yesterday concerning Domestic Violence Assistance Hotlines that help victims of domestic violence and sexual assaults had over 1200 page views?  …we are extremely pleased that many of our readers took time to open some of the links provided in this post?  …we encourage all Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault victims not to be afraid to report acts of domestic violence against them no matter how politically connected or wealthy their attacker may be?

IS IT TRUE we are sick and tired of hearing our elected officials talking about Community Blight but doing very little about it?

IS IT TRUE its time for the taxpayers to be concerned about the total amount of local tax money that our elected officials have pledged to build a new Downtown Hotel and IU Medical School?

IS IT TRUE its time that our elected officials realize that our streets and sidewalks and our parks are in deplorable condition city wide?

IS IT TRUE that the Walgreen and Oak Hill Pharmacy on East Morgan have closed?  …you better not let the people at DMD and ERC know about these closings because they might want to spend $85,000 to paint a ugly abstract Mural on the side of Walgreens to help generate economic development in that area?

IS IT TRUE  because of a typo in the minutes of the Solid Waste Management District we posted the wrong increase in the 20156 Budget?  IS IT TRUE here is the corrected post?  IS IT REALLY TRUE on September 1, 2015 the Solid Waste Management District met in official session? …that the Solid Waste Management District voted to increase their 2016 Budget by .8%? …those who voted for this small increase were Missy Mosby, Bruce Ungethiem, Angela Koehler Lindsey and Bob Stone? …as of August 31, 2015 the Solid Waste District cash on hand was $161,906 and investments were $325,000 for a total of $486,906 in the operating account? …at the beginning of the year the cash balance was $472,766 which means the operating account was increased about $14,000 so far in 2015? …with a pretty healthy cash balance we understand why the Solid Waste Management District decided to increase their 2016 operating budget by only .8%?

0

Despite getting 12 kills and a .303 attacking percentage from sophomore outside hitter Shelbi Morris (Brazil, Indiana), the University of Southern Indiana volleyball team fell to host Bellarmine University 17-25, 25-23, 21-25, 21-25 in a Great Lakes Valley Conference match Tuesday night.

 

Bellarmine (7-10, 2-5 GLVC), which snapped a seven-match losing streak, held a 68-44 advantage over the Screaming Eagles in kills, posting a .249 attacking percentage to USI’s .149 clip.

 

The Eagles (11-5, 4-3 GLVC), who have lost three of their last four matches, all of which have been on the road, struggled on the defensive end in the opening set as the Knights racked up 19 kills and a blistering .400 attacking percentage.

 

USI battled back in the second set, using four blocks to hold Bellarmine’s attack in check for a two-point decision. The Eagles won the final three points and six of the last eight rallies in the second frame to tie the match a 1-1.

 

The Eagles failed to recover from an early 4-0 Bellarmine run in the fourth set, despite getting to within a point of the Knights at 16-15 midway through the frame. Bellarmine, however, ran off three straight points and never looked back as it earned the four-point win to forge a one-set lead.

 

In a set that featured 14 ties and seven lead changes, the Knights pulled away late in the fourth frame, winning five of the final six rallies to complete the upset in four games.

 

USI got eight kills and a .316 attacking percentage from sophomore middle blocker Te’Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) as well as 33 assists from freshman setter Erika Peoples (Bloomington, Illinois).
