Bob, Randy & Rick Schulz to Receive 2014 Champion of Youth First Award

0

First, Inc. will honor Bob, Randy and Rick Schulz at its 7th Annual Champions Breakfast on Tuesday, October 7th at 7:00 am at St. Mary’s Hospital Manor in Evansville.

The father and sons trio will receive the Dr. William Wooten Champion of Youth First Award for their long-time support of the not-for-profit organization

Each has advocated for Youth First in ways that have helped transform the organization from very modest beginnings in 1998 to the thriving and impactful organization it is today

Bob is a self-made businessman who built a successful career as a Realtor and real estate developer. For the past 30 years, Bob has been the organizer of the annual golf outing for the Southwest Indiana Association of Realtors, and thanks to Bob’s advocacy, Youth First has been the beneficiary for many years. Perhaps most significantly, Bob and his wife, Sharon, are responsible for raising an amazing family of servant leaders, including several who are also very involved with Youth First.

Randy served on the Youth First Board of Directors from 2000-2005 and has served on the Advisory Council since that time. Randy was instrumental in helping Youth First develop its early strategy to solicit private financial resources, which helped Youth First diversify its funding streams and create long-term sustainability. Randy continues to support the organization with his time, talent, and treasure, so that more kids and families can benefit from our programs and services.

Rick has served on the Youth First Board of Directors since 2007, including a year and a half as Chairman of the Board. During his tenure, Rick was instrumental in helping establish a cost-sharing plan with area school corporations for the social work services provided by Youth First. He also guided the Board through the process of envisioning and initiating the organization’s next phase of growth to serve more schools. Rick continues to use his leadership and advocacy skills to raise both funds and friends for Youth First.

GOP statewide ticket to launch ‘Experience and Transparency Tour’

Tuesday marks first day voters can cast a ballot for Nov. 4 election

INDIANAPOLIS (Oct. 6, 2014) – Indiana Republican statewide candidates are set to launch their “Experience and Transparency Tour” aimed at rallying Hoosiers to cast their votes ahead of the November election.

Secretary of State Connie Lawson, Auditor of State Suzanne Crouch and Treasurer of State candidate Kelly Mitchell will travel by bus to more than 30 counties between Oct. 14 and Election Day. Stops for early vote rallies will include Republican campaign headquarters and locations near early voting centers like courthouse squares.

Any registered voter is eligible to cast their vote beginning on Tuesday. Hoosiers should contact their county clerk’s office or visit their county government’s website for information on early vote locations and hours.
As Lawson, Crouch and Mitchell travel the state they will talk with voters about their strong track records of looking out for Hoosiers.

“I’ve met with thousands of Hoosiers in an effort to teach young people about the dangers of credit card abuse and to help senior citizens avoid being victims of identity theft and financial scams,” Lawson said. “Protecting Hoosiers from fraud is one of my top priorities and not only are we helping to prevent it, but we also have increased the penalties on scam artists who steal people’s hard-earned money.”

Lawson, who serves as the state’s chief election officer, reminded Hoosiers of today’s deadline for residents to register to vote or update their voter registration. Anyone not yet registered can visit www.IndianaVoters.com to do so until midnight.

“The trust the taxpayer grants an elected official is a sacred trust and every dollar spent should be done so with serious respect and consideration for those that earned those tax dollars,” Crouch said. “The Auditor’s office is charged with maintaining Indiana’s Transparency Portal and works to ensure that Indiana government spending is transparent and accessible to Hoosiers because every dollar that comes to government has a name and a face attached to it. In April, Indiana’s Transparency Portal was ranked No. 1 in the nation and my office has recently announced more initiatives to improve the portal.”
“Hoosiers across the state are looking for candidates with experience and a vision for the future,” Mitchell said. “I am looking forward to encouraging Hoosiers to get out and vote for candidates who will guard taxpayer dollars and steer Indiana toward a bright future.”
Registered voters do not need a reason to vote early, and will be asked to present a valid photo ID issued by the State of Indiana. Early voters will also be asked while at the polling location to complete an application to vote absentee – since any person casting a ballot before Election Day is considered an absentee voter. Ballots will not be counted until Election Day.

“This year’s mid-term election is expected to draw a low voter turnout, but our Party has been working hard to rally fellow Republicans to support our statewide and local candidates,” said Republican Party Chairman Tim Berry. “In fact, we expect to make more than 1 million voter contacts by Election Day. We’re confident our Party will turn out the vote this year, so we can continue Indiana’s success story by electing qualified Hoosiers to office.”

Important dates to remember:


Tuesday, Oct. 7
First day a voter may vote early

Monday, Oct. 27
Deadline for absentee-by-mail applications to be received
(For information concerning absentee voting click here.)

Tuesday, Nov. 4
General Election

Rocktober

0
 Raging Moderate by Will Durst

Welcome to Rocktober, Baby. That’s what all the rock and roll radio stations call this, the 10th month of the year. Doesn’t require more than a casually cocked ear to realize the airwaves are flooded with concerts and giveaways and promotional tie-ins. All in the name of Rocktober, Baby.

This amiable etymological contraction of Rock & October is just another example of how impatient our society has become. No one has the time to say… Rocking October. We’re busy people, here. It’s Rocktober, Baby. And the “Baby” is permanently attached like a vestigial accentuater.

This blended word invention was described by Lewis Carroll as a portmanteau. But linguistic compression has picked up considerable generational speed since Humpty Dumpty explained to Alice how “mimsy” is mix of miserable and flimsy; a word that today is often used to describe the Democratic Party’s chances of recapturing the House.

Our enormous appetite for abridgement can also be seen in how Beefalo, frenemy, bromance and Sharknado have squirreled their way into the national lexicon. As has the manner of conjoining proper names: Bennifer, TomKat, Brangelina and Hillbilly. Won’t be long before history books laud the adventures of the outlaws Clonnie. The majesty of Antopatra. Turner Classic Movies hosting a Traburn Film Festival. Ken & Barbie become Karbie.

Most baffling is why more folks aren’t jumping on this phonetic phenomena bandwagon. Why doesn’t ESPN celebrate the only month where all the major sports; baseball, football, basketball and hockey are televised, as Jocktober?

Star Trek fans could enjoy 31 days of Spocktober, maybe with an assist from the Baby Doctor people who could piggyback on the same push. Create a hybrid of baby Trekkies. Pointy ears and pacifiers. Often referred to as Comic- Con.

Socktober and Frocktober for department stores. Chinese restaurants featuring Woktober specials. Bachtober, a staple of classical radio stations. Pawn shops hawking Hocktober. And pet stores hocking Hawktober. Crocktober for the Society of American Casseroles: Slow Cooker Division. Cocktober for chicken restaurants, right wing political donors and porn sites.

Easy to envision Doctober as the Mother of All Tobers hosting such tober tributaries as… 1. A paean to the advancement of polio research with Jonas Salktober. 2. Biological Clocktober saluting all the brave women who didn’t start mothering until the age of 50. And finally… 3. Extolling the virtues of that diverse group of Americans who go to work every day wearing green cotton with Smocktober. Wouldn’t this be the perfect opportunity for the NRA to focus on 2nd amendment rights with Glocktober? And what keeps The CW from plugging their sit- com lineup as Mocktober? Oh, because they’re not funny. That’s right. Well then, why not substitute Schlocktober?

Stocktober is an umbrella name designed to encompass the NYSE, the Cattlemen’s Association, warehousemen all over the country, road company productions of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” and makers of broth. And who can forget Stalktober, dedicated to the appreciation of celery, asparagus, fennel and rhubarb?

Bangkoktober for the Asian tourist industry. Shocktober for Halloween and midterm election fans. And of course, let us not forget, the very reason for this column, Writer’s Blocktober. Bringing us to the future: and isn’t it about time we see an impassioned push for Blowvember? Gleecember? Pecanuary? But until then, enjoy it while you can. Talking about Rocktober, Baby.
