Berniece Terminstein’s Legacy of Longevity

By Scottie Thomas

Born on an old farm, a few miles from Fort Branch, Indiana, which she tells me was haunted, Berniece Terminstein is a widow of twenty years. Her husband, Paul was the Director of Purchasing & Material Control for then, Southern Indiana Gas & Electric Company (SIGECO), now Vectren. Terminstein currently resides in the same house in Evansville for the last sixty two years now. She has two children: a daughter, Debbie and a son, Mark. Terminstein also has one granddaughter, Sarah.

Debbie now lives in Montana working for Habitat Inventory of Grizzly Bears and trains a new search and rescue dog, Choteau. Mark is a medical researcher for Bristol Myers for the last five years. His main focus is in work with Diabetes, mainly in regards to the development of a drug to help with the condition.

Terminstein is a big fan of genealogy, as she has tracked her ancestry to the Sollman family of Bavaria, with a heavy nationality of German roots. Her great-great-great Uncle William Nennecker was awarded a German Cross Medal during his service in the Franco Prussian War dated 1848-1849.

It is easy to see why her children have taken the career paths that they have given Terminstein’s legacy. She is eighty-two years young and a proud member of the Tea Party as she has spoken before City Council several times.

She joined the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps for World War II. The last class to be admitted was 1945. The Bolten Act allowed for Room & Board and Tuition for the nurses to be paid for and provide a stipend of $10.00 a month, then. She later worked for the Linda Richards Nursing Home (the first Deaconess Hospital) which had only nineteen beds. It was owned by Major Byron Parson.

Terminstein was the first Registered Nurse to receive the American Nurses Association Achievement Award (Indiana). The Associated Press awarded her as the first recipient of the honor. She has also gone on to win the Evansville Neighborhood Association Spark Plug Award, which recognizes an individual for their efforts in improving their neighborhood and making it a better place.

At one of the City Council Meetings, when speaking to City Council President, Terminstein shared that ‘[She] always felt that Evansville citizens [should] have an open dialogue to better their community.’ She has been involved with City Council the past four or five years. Some of the issues she spoke upon where pertaining to the softball/baseball fields by Roberts Stadium, in addition to the concerns about two Fire Stations (#10 & #14).

One facilitator spoke of Terminstein with these words to offer: ‘Berniece you always have factual arguments to make and show no emotion.’ He then proceeded to ask if she was a nurse. Terminstein is more than a Registered Nurse. She is a caregiver to her family, neighborhood, community and nation. Berniece Terminstein continues to add to her legacy of longevity.

The Case to Prosecute President Obama for Fraud

18

Excerpts from Article by Andrew McCarthy

“If he were a CEO in the private sector, he’d be prosecuted for such deception.”

“‘If you like your health-care plan, you will be able to keep your health-care plan. Period.” How serious was this lie, repeated by Barack Obama with such beguiling regularity? Well, how would the Justice Department be dealing with it if it had been uttered by, say, the president of an insurance company rather than the president of the United States?”

“Fraud is a serious federal felony, usually punishable by up to 20 years’ imprisonment — with every repetition of a fraudulent communication chargeable as a separate crime.”

“Cases of multi-million-dollar corporate frauds — to say nothing of multi-billion-dollar, Bernie Madoff–level scams that nevertheless pale beside Obamacare’s dimensions — often result in terms amounting to decades in the slammer.”

“Justice Department guidelines, set forth in the U.S. Attorneys Manual, recommend prosecution for fraud in situations involving “any scheme which in its nature is directed to defrauding a class of persons, or the general public, with a substantial pattern of conduct.” So, for example, if a schemer were intentionally to deceive all Americans, or a class of Americans (e.g., people who had health insurance purchased on the individual market), by repeating numerous times — over the airwaves, in mailings, and in electronic announcements — an assertion the schemer knew to be false and misleading, that would constitute an actionable fraud — particularly if the statements induced the victims to take action to their detriment, or lulled the victims into a false sense of security.”

“A material omission is the intentional failure to state any fact the communication of which would be necessary to ensure that statements already made are not misleading. The concept of material omission is a staple of fraud prosecutions. A good example is the Obama Justice Department’s ongoing and transparently political effort to portray financial institutions — as opposed to government policies — as the proximate cause of the mortgage-industry collapse that resulted in our national economic meltdown.”

“Martha Stewart, naturally, was fearful that truthful statements would send the stock price plummeting. Obama, by comparison, was not lying merely to prevent a company from losing value. His fraud was, first, to induce passage of a plan designed gradually to destroy the private health-insurance market — a plan that barely passed and never would have been enacted if he’d been honest. And later, his fraud was to procure his reelection and the guaranteed implementation of Obamacare; had he been honest, he would have been defeated and Obamacare forestalled.”

“Barack Obama is guilty of fraud — serial fraud — that is orders of magnitude more serious than frauds the Justice Department routinely prosecutes, and that courts punish harshly. The victims will be out billions of dollars, quite apart from other anxiety and disruption that will befall them.”

“It is highly unlikely that Barack Obama will ever be impeached. It is certain that he will never again be trusted. Republicans and sensible Democrats take heed: The nation may not have the stomach to remove a charlatan, but the nation knows he is a charlatan. The American people will not think twice about taking out their frustration and mounting anger on those who collaborate in his schemes.”

Court grants Attorney General’s motion to strike appearances

Zoeller:  Proper procedures must be followed when State goes to court

 INDIANAPOLIS – A court today granted the Attorney General’s motion to strike the appearances and filings of outside attorneys whom the AG contended could not represent the State of Indiana in the lawsuit Ritz v. Elsener.  As the lawyer for state government, Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s Office argued on behalf of state legal authority that the appearances and filings of the various other counsel were unauthorized and invalid.  Judge Louis Rosenberg in Marion County Circuit Court today granted the motion to strike.  Attorney General Zoeller issued this statement:

“The reason you don’t see one arm of state government’s executive branch sue another is because the statute and case law make it the Attorney General’s responsibility to represent state agencies in court and harmonize their conflicting legal positions, and the judicial branch was not meant to oversee internal conflicts within the executive branch.  My office was not adverse to any of our clients but sought only to ensure proper legal procedures were followed,” Zoeller said. 

At issue was the motion filed by the Attorney General’s Office to strike the appearances and filings of the DOE in-house attorneys for the plaintiff.  The court granted the motion, meaning the Attorney General and his deputies are the only State attorneys of record in the matter and the case will not proceed as filed and will be dismissed. The Attorney General also moved to strike the appearance and filing of a private attorney for one of the Board of Education defendants.

“Now that this question is behind us, we encourage everyone to work to resolve their disputes in a way that respects one another and the State we all serve,” Zoeller added.

As the State’s law firm that serves as legal counsel to more than 40 state boards and commissions, the Attorney General’s Office this week provided legal advice to the 11 members of the State Board of Education about navigating legal requirements and minimizing legal exposure.  Without weighing in on the merits of the Open Door dispute, Zoeller noted that public actions taken today by the Board should contribute to a timely resolution of pending legal matters.

Car Breakins

0

 

Sheriff Logo

The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a series of car break-ins that have occurred in several residential areas in Vanderburgh County. These thefts have generally occurred overnight and involve cars left unlocked both outside as well as inside unlocked garages. Residential areas, especially subdivisions, are frequent targets due to the high concentration of parked vehicles and the lack of traffic during the late night, early morning hours.

The Sheriff’s Office offers these tips to minimize the risk of becoming a victim of such a theft. Cars should be locked at all times and if parked inside a garage, care should be taken to ensure that the garage itself is secure. If possible, valuables should not be left inside a vehicle or if necessary, secured in a locked glove box or trunk. Firearms, medication and money should never be kept in the vehicle when not occupied. These tips should be followed not only when the vehicle is left at a residence for the night but when the vehicle is driven to various locations and left unattended such as shopping trips, visits to friends or family and other excursions.

Many people do not report these types of thefts believing that nothing can be done. The Sheriff’s Office strongly encourages everyone who is the victim of a crime to report it. If you believe your vehicle has been entered and items taken please do not touch anything on or inside the car. If you locate items from your vehicle somewhere else such as on the ground, again refrain from touching them. Call 911 and the responding deputies can assess the possibility of recovering evidence.

Persons with information regarding the car break-ins are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 421-6339 or go online to the Sheriff’s Office website at www.vanderburghsheriff.com where a tip may be left anonymously if desired.

 

Honoring our Heroes this Veterans Day

1

Veterans Day is a day of celebration; a day of honor; and a day of remembrance. Flags wave, heroes walk in parades and stories of historic greatness are told. This Monday, November 11, we recognize the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform, and the sacrifices they continue to make to protect our most coveted freedoms.

President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first “Armistice Day” in 1919 by saying, “The reflections of this day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service with gratitude for the victory.” In 1938, legislation was passed to make November 11 a federal holiday.

The Blue Star Highway program is a small way to remember our veterans.  The idea came about in 1944 when the New Jersey State Council of Garden Clubs planted 8,000 dogwood trees as a living memorial to the men and women in the Armed Forces. The Blue Star, taken from the blue star in the service banner, was chosen to symbolize the memorial because it was displayed during World War II by families that had a son or daughter in the service.

Today, there are more than 70,000 miles of highway designated as Blue Star Memorial Highways.  The program had been expanded to include Memorial Markers and Memorial by-ways that are used in parks, gardens, veteran’s facilities and even National Cemeteries.

This past summer, I had the opportunity to attend the dedication of the Blue Star Memorial Highway marker which is located on I64 east of Griffin. This marker is a tribute to the armed forces that have defended and given so much to the United States. The Blue Star Memorial Highway marker is sponsored by the Garden Club of New Harmony, Inc.

Our military men and women do not protect our country with the hopes of receiving praise. They do it because they feel it is their duty to defend our country’s most sacred principles and beliefs.

I read a quote that other day that stated “a veteran – whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve – is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America’ for an amount of ‘up to and including my life’”. This particularly resounded with me as I reflected upon the times I have met with members of our community whom have served our great state.

Saying “thank you” to someone who has served or is currently serving should be common action, and Veterans Day should serve as a reminder of this action. I hope that you take some time out of your day to honor a veteran. They are the real heroes every day and deserve our appreciation and support.
