IS IT TRUE November 6, 2013

IS IT TRUE November 6, 2013

IS IT TRUE that today is the first day of the 2014 election campaign and if the words heard on the major news channels last night are any indication the tone of the next several election cycles is being set already?…the Statehouse Mole Nation has leaked to the CCO that Joe Donnelly, the effective leader of the Indiana Democrat Party has made his preference known about who he would choose to oppose Congressman Larry Buschon for the 8th District Seat in the US House of Representatives?…Donnelly’s preference is none other than former Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel? That doesn’t mean the former Mayor who is according to our sources up to his eyeballs in private law practice will accept this de-facto nomination but according the Statehouse Moles, it is his if he wants it?…it will be very interesting to see who current Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke will support next year if the former mayor really does accept this nomination and oppose what would be a third term for Republican Congressman Larry Buschon?…Mayor Winnecke will have to choose between the party that got him elected and the party that he is a member of?…this is called a conundrum?

IS IT TRUE in the important race for Vanderburgh County Commissioner next year the Mole Nation is telling us that Bruce Ungenthiem is quite interested in taking on perennial office holder and current Commissioner Marsha Abell?…for those who are not familiar with Mr. Ungenthiem he is one of the people of high significance that lead the charge to defeat consolidation by a 60 – 40 margin?…he is also visible in the vigilant questioning of the City of Evansville’s potentially illegal practice of charging customers who live in the county a 35% premium over what city dwellers pay for water and sewer services?…it is clear that Bruce Ungenthiem is very popular and more importantly admired in unincorporated Vanderburgh County?…Mr. Ungenthiem has also taken on a well financed and party supported initiative at the ballot box and smashed it flat with pragmatism and competence?…the CCO sees this race if it should happen shaping up to be a potential game changer for county governance and a well contested election in a place that is accustomed to paper tigers and non-existent opposition?

IS IT TRUE the race last night for Governor of Virginia is seen by some as a model for many congressional races in 2014?…the results were a Democrat defeated a Republican by a razor thin margin with less than 50% of the vote because an independent candidate siphoned off 7% of the vote?…given the political stance of the independent candidate it is safe to assume that those votes were siphoned off from the Republican candidate?…this race which was seen to be a referendum on ObamaCare shows the power of the Tea Party to get Democrats elected by fracturing the base of the Republican Party?…ObamaCare was supported by 47% of the Virginia voters and opposed by 53% in exit polls?…the total votes for the Republican + Independent was 53% and the Democrat got 47% exactly mirroring the sentiments toward ObamaCare?…in next year’s congressional elections if Virginia is a gauge of things to come Republicans will need for between 55% and 60% of the people to oppose ObamaCare to get elected in districts that have a Tea Party backed candidate?

IS IT TRUE as far as the 2016 Presidential election goes, Republican Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie who won this deep blue state by a 61 – 39 margin came out swinging at President Obama’s credibility issue?…Christie’s words to his supporters about running a transparent, honest government that represents all of the people as opposed to selected support groups was aimed squarely at President Obama’s Pinocchio dilemma and at any future Democrat challenger for the Presidency?…Christie of course is a centrist Republican and a straight shooter who had to siphon off many Democrat votes to win in New Jersey that typically votes for Democrats for everything?…he has also been willing to lay the strap across the backsides of traditional Democrat support organizations like the teacher’s union?…if the GOP is to ever retake the White House it will be with a candidate like Christie or Wisconsin Governor Walker both of who appeal to the thinking people in the middle and have open disdain for the extreme positions of both the far right and the far left?

IS IT TRUE it was confirmed that over 100,000 new people have received cancellation notices from their health insurance providers due to the requirements of ObamaCare in the last 24 hours?…as the hole gets deeper the lies coming from the White House keep getting more and more desperate?…it appears that an acknowledgment of deception and an apology are nowhere in sight?…even with President Obama’s approval now below 40% in the latest Gallup poll the response of the White House for being caught in lies is to lie about those lies?…by Christmas there may only be a couple of hundred people left in the country that do not believe the President lied to the American people?…they will all be employed in the White House?…we wonder just how much the sticker shock associated with the price of ObamaCare’s policies and the distraction of a White House living in delusion will affect the Christmas shopping season?…you can bet your arse that the dollars that will have to go to increased premiums will come straight out of the Christmas budgets of everyday Americans?

EVPLThe Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library has once again been named a five-star library in the latest Library Journal Index of Public Library Service.  The five-star rating is the highest ranking, with only 86 libraries in the country receiving five-stars this year.

The index measures four per capita areas that indicate public service - circulation, visits, program attendance, and public Internet use.  The rankings are based on 2011 data reported by local libraries to their state library agencies. 

 

A total of 263 libraries received a star ranking in this year’s evaluation.  The EVPL has received a star rating in all six editions of the LJ Index, three of those being five-stars.

 

Theft of Train Horns solved

The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has located two juveniles responsible for the theft of train horns from two train engines parked near the 4200 block of Hogue Rd. The theft was caught on video and the Sheriff’s Office released the footage in the hopes that someone might know the suspects.

Several days after the video was released to the media, the Sheriff’s Office was contacted directly by persons from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Dakota and Iowa. All identified the same two persons as committing the theft. These two suspects were known to them through social media and train enthusiast blogs.

Sheriff’s Office detectives traveled to Marion, IL and spoke with both suspects who were ages 16 and 17 at the time of the thefts. Both confessed to stealing the horns. Prior to the interview, one of the juveniles was again captured on video, this time as he tried to anonymously return the stolen horns with a note apologizing for the theft.

Both juveniles are train enthusiasts and restore and repair train horns. Admissions to other thefts near St. Louis, MO were also given. Both will be referred to Juvenile Court in Vanderburgh County.

EVSC School Board Hears Plan to Offer More Courses in High Schools

0

EVSC

More course options for students will be available next school year if the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation Board of School Trustees approves new courses and proposed modifications to courses suggested at tonight’s regular meeting.

Currently 152 unique courses are offered in EVSC high schools for dual credit, 77 Advanced Placement (AP) courses and 14 International Baccalaureate (IB) courses. Among the proposals for new courses are five new courses offering International Baccalaureate credit, 15 more courses offering dual credit with one of our college partners, and nine new courses offering Advanced Placement credit.

Chief Academic Officer Velinda Stubbs told the board that high school teachers and administrators propose new courses or recommend modifications in order to meet the needs of EVSC students. The proposed recommendations are then reviewed by the Office of Academic Affairs to ensure alignment with Indiana State Department of Education course titles and to meet Core 40 requirements.

Offering additional dual credit, International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement courses increases the academic rigor for EVSC students and additional opportunities for college credits while in high school, Stubbs said. Last year, Harrison High School posted a 4.15 score on a 5.0 scale for an AP calculus exam – the highest AP mean score for any calculus course in the area.

Stubbs indicated that many of the proposed courses are for one of the EVSC’s innovative model programs, which allow area students to attend their home high school for half of a day, and the innovative program half day.

High School innovative model programs include the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Bosse, the Medical Professionals Academy at Central, the Randall T. Shepard Academy for Law and Social Justice at Harrison, Early College High School at IVY Tech, the Center for Family and Community Outreach at Harrison, and Career and Vocational Education at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center.

A vote on the proposed course additions and modifications will take place at the next school board meeting on November 18.
