ST. MARY’S HOT CAR DEMONSTRATION AT MARKET DAYS

0

While they are completely preventable, tragic heatstroke deaths from leaving a child in a car continue to be a problem year after year. So far in 2015, 11 infants and toddlers have lost their life by being left in a car.* In order to bring awareness to and educate on this issue, St. Mary’s & Safe Kids Coalition of Vanderburgh/Warrick County will be hosting a demonstration at St. Mary’s Market Days to showcase how hot the interior of a car can reach on a sunny day. The demonstration will be Thursday, July 30 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the north end of the market. Safe Kids volunteers will use a device to measure and display the inside and outside temperature of a car and will offer information on preventing heatstroke deaths.

July and August are the months with the highest average number of deaths from heatstroke. With a continued rise in the number of near misses (children that were saved because a bystander took action or the family remembered in time) now is the time to ACT. Keep these tips in mind in advance on National Heatstroke Prevention Day on July 31 and all year long.

A: Avoid heatstroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in a car, not even for a minute. Make sure to keep your car locked when you’re not in it so kids don’t get in on their own.

C: Create reminders by putting something in the back of your car next to your child such as a briefcase, a purse or a cell phone that is needed at your final destination. This is especially important if you’re not following your normal routine.

T: Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life.

0

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art presents “Envisioned Worlds: Lithographs from the Hokes Archives,” a 25-year survey of prints by Beauvais Lyons from July 25 to September 5.

Lyons, a chancellor’s professor of art at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is the self-appointed director of the Hokes (pronounced “hoax”) Archives He has been creating elaborate works of academic and museum parody for over three decades. This exhibit offers a window into his invented worlds.

Lyons also will be at the University of Southern Indiana on August 28 for an afternoon workshop and lecture.

Lyons’s art may be regarded as a form of science fiction, but one that uses historical methods of representation. His art is informed by literary and cinematic traditions of mock-documentation, and he often speaks at his exhibitions about the imaginary founder of the Archives, Everitt Ormsby Hokes.

This exhibit is comprised of 25 lithographs from three of his projects “Reconstruction of an Aazudian Temple,” “Hokes Medical Arts,” and “The Association for Creative Zoology.” In addition to the lithographs, there is a selection of Aazudian pottery and an introductory video lecture.

Lyons has taught printmaking at the University of Tennessee since 1985. He received a Masters of Fine Art from Arizona State University. His one-person exhibitions have been presented at over 60 museums and galleries in the United States and abroad. His prints are in the collections of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Washington, DC; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, New York; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

IS IT TRUE we hear that a that a grass roots political movement is gaining momentum and current plans are to launch it around the last week of September? … we shall keep you updated as things progress? …”when people fear the government we have Tyranny but when government fears the people we have Liberty”?

IS IT TRUE supporters of Mayoral candidate Gail Riecken are encouraging her to tell a few self serving Democrats to take a political hike.? …these individuals are soundly in the Mayor Winnecke’s back pocket and every chance they get they undermine Ms. Riecken’s campaign messages? …Mrs. Riecken’s message to them should either be your with me or against me!

IS IT TRUE supporters of Mayoral candidate Gail Riecken are saying it’s time to call a news conference at the dilapidated and vacant CVS building located at Columbia and North Main? … she needs to ask why the Winnecke Administration paid a whooping $535,000 for this property without any plans to develop it? …while she’s on North Main she should take the media to the vacant Integera Bank building on North Main and ask a similar question?

IS IT TRUE we wonder when the State Democratic party is going to get engaged in providing Mayoral Candidate Gail Riecken with financial assistance? …if the Democrats win, Evansville and Indy they will greatly enhance the chances of winning the Governorship? …it’s time that the State Democratic party either put up or shut up?

IS IT TRUE its time that we need to do a study to see why we need to do studies?

IS IT TRUE we can’t figure out why two extremely loyal Democrats such as Dr. Dan Adams and Alex Burton would agree to have two (2) political fund raisers with the clandestine Republican Jonathon Weaver?  …we hear that Adams and Burton lost a lot of support among Democrats by hooking up with Weaver? …we also hear that a few of these Democrats may now be supporting Republican Michelle Mercer City Council At Large candidiate in protest?

Dr. Bucshon Votes to Assert Congress’ Authority on Regulations

0

 

(WASHINGTON, DC) – Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 427, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, a bill subjecting any executive branch rule or regulation with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more to an up-or-down vote in Congress.

 

“In a landmark decision last month, the Supreme Court overturned EPA regulations on coal-fired power plants citing the agency’s failure to consider the potential cost and impact on states and consumers. As the Administration continues to legislate via regulation, it’s critical that Congress – the American people – have an up or down vote on these costly regulations before they are implemented. 

 

“Unfortunately much of the regulatory process is currently controlled by agencies in the Executive Branch. In fact, the Administration has implemented nearly 500 major regulations at a combined cost of $625 billion to the American economy. This regulatory overreach is creating uncertainty for job creators and making it difficult for middle class families to get ahead. The REINs Act asserts Congress’ authority to make sure that regulations out of the executive branch are fair and don’t come at an enormous cost to the American people.” 

 

The REINS Act was introduced by Congressman Todd Young (IN-9) and Senator Rand Paul (KY). More information about the bill can be accessed here.

Mayoral Candidate Gail Riecken Rides Howell Route

Riecken And Riney Discuss The METS Service On City Westside

Evansville, IN – Mayoral candidate Gail Riecken rode the METS Howell Route #12 today with Perry Township Trustee Rick Riney to show support for one of the routes that is in danger of being consolidated.

“Easy and convenient access to public transportation is important to so many people in Evansville,” said Riecken.  “Not everyone can afford to own a car, but everyone needs a way to get to work or shop.  Having to walk an extreme distance from a bus stop to your home in bad weather, with no sidewalks, and with no streetlights can be not only inconvenient but can be dangerous.  If you have to walk in the street, it’s dark and you have your children with you.”

Riecken cited accessibility to routes and the safety of riders as they travel to the route as one of her concerns with the potential consolidation of routes.  She also pointed out that many people in Evansville use METS as a method of transportation to go food shopping, taking their kids to school and getting to and from their jobs.

Perry Township Trustee Rick Riney said “Overall, Westside residents are content with the current services provided, but the proposed new routes would have people walking up to 6, 8, or 10 blocks to get to a bus stop.“  He continued, “Many of these areas on the Westside have been part of the city for 50 plus years and still have no sidewalks, making these walks to the bus stops even harder and more dangerous.  This also makes it especially hard for handicap individuals in our community.  While Cities change, as do their dynamics, we cannot ignore the fact the West Side is still a well-populated, valuable part of our city.  Consolidating this route would be an unfair hardship on them.”

Riney, the Perry Township Trustee, talked about the unfair hardships faced by residents of the Westside and that it would be worse with the new routes.  He also stated that Westside residents are okay with current routes and that this change would have an even greater effect on handicap members of the community.

Gail Riecken is running for Mayor of Evansville and is a former Evansville City Council-woman, Evansville Parks Director, and a current member of the Indiana State House of Representatives.  She is a lifelong Evansville resident, has been married for 46 years, and has 2 children and 3 grandchildren.
