The outfielder also brought with him five seasons of experience with the Cincinnati Reds organization.

In his time with the Reds, Gordon played with former Otters pitcher Randy Wynne in Dayton in 2019 and roomed with former Otters outfielder Logan Taylor in 2018.

Gordon was drafted by the Reds in the fourth round of the 2015 MLB June Amateur Draft out of St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Secondary School in Oakville, Ontario.

MacDonald is from Mississauga, Ontario, and is entering his first season with the Otters in 2022. He spent 2019 and 2021 with the New York Yankees organization, most recently with the Hudson Valley Renegades of the High-A East League in 2021.

IS IT TRUE that we find the campaign style of the outspoken Libertarian Mayoral candidate Michael Daughty is conservative, sometimes politically unorthodox, idealistic, sometimes lacking a little tack, refreshing honest, and direct?  …that we get a kick of a rumor that Micheal is a bone-fide redneck with little education?  …that the real fact is that Mr. Daughety has a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and an MBA in Business from Purdue.

IS IT TRUE that a recent “LETTER TO THE CCO  EDITOR”  written by Michael  Daughty was a political bombshell?  …that Mr. Daughty stated in his letter that he has a strong belief that many politicians are FOR SALE? … he further stated that Corporations, PAC Committees, and Lobbyists have caused politicians to make bad political decisions based on the needs of their political contributors?  … Michael Daugherty also announced that will not be taking any money from Corporations, PAC Committees, Lobbyists, Governmental Vendors to fund his Mayoral campaign?  …we are about to see an ole fashion in your face door to door political campaign?

IS IT TRUE that several local Republicans are hosting an event for mayoral candidate Stephanie Terry (D) soon?… this event titled “REPUBLICANS FOR TERRY” will be held at a downtown eatery on Sep 20th.  …that this type of “bipartisan support” event is reminiscent of when several prominent Democrats hosted a similar event for Lloyd Winnecke (R) in 2015  …that we wonder if any local Democrats will host a “Democrats for Rascher” fundraising event for Mayoral candidate Natalie Rascher (R) in the near future?

IS IT TRUE that we can guarantee that the City Controllers who worked for Mayors Jonathon Wienzapfel and Frank McDonald Jr. ensured that the City officials lived within their budget restraints?
IS IT TRUE that former Evansville Mayors Jonathon Weinzapfel and Frank McDonald Jr. not only lived within their budget restraints but when they left office they had comfortable cash balances in the “Rainey Day” fund to pass on to their successors?
…taxpayers are hoping and praying that the current outgoing Mayor can do similar?
IS IT TRUE that we recently pointed out that Evansville Fire Department Hosehouse #17 stated that they allowed political signs to be displayed inside their building? …that this act directly violates the state and local election laws of Indiana?
IS IT TRUE that we wonder when the President of the Evansville City Council will require that a couple of members of the Council stop blatantly misusing Skype instead of physically attending City Council meetings?

 

 

 

Newburgh Man Arrested after Traffic Stop for Dealing Methamphetamine

2

Warrick County – Thursday night, January 27, at approximately 11:45, Troopers Kyle Otolski and Aaron Hadley were patrolling SR 261 near Oak Grove Road when they spotted a vehicle with a defective taillight. Troopers continued to follow the vehicle east on Oak Grove Road when they observed the vehicle drift left of center. A traffic stop was conducted on Oak Grove Road near Briarcliff Drive. The driver was identified as Audrey-Jestina Beverly, 23, of Evansville. A front seat male passenger did not have identification but provided troopers with a name and date of birth. Further investigation revealed Beverly was his girlfriend. Beverly allegedly confirmed her boyfriend’s identity. A rear seat male passenger identified himself but soon started having a seizure. He was treated and later transported to Deaconess Gateway Hospital. Troopers later determined the rear passenger gave them false information concerning his identity. He was later identified as Thomas Holland, 20, of Evansville. A misdemeanor arrest warrant out of Vanderburgh County was active for Holland’s arrest.

When the front seat passenger was removed from the vehicle, officers located an Indiana ID card that identified the front seat passenger as Alexander Burton, 30, of Newburgh. Burton had given troopers a different name and his identity was confirmed by Beverly. When officers searched Burton, they located a digital scale on his person. Officers also located a cylindrical container near the front passenger seat that contained four individually wrapped clear plastic baggies containing a total weight of approximately 14.6 grams of suspected methamphetamine. A wanted check revealed Burton had an active felony arrest warrant out of Vanderburgh County for failure to appear. A further search of the vehicle discovered a backpack containing ten syringes, long plastic tubing and a digital scale.  Troopers were able to determine the suspected meth and syringes belonged to Burton. Burton and Beverly were arrested and taken to the Warrick County Jail where they are currently being held on bond. Holland was summoned to appear in Warrick Superior Court for False Informing, a Class A Misdemeanor, and Refusal to Identify, a Class C Misdemeanor.

Arrested and Charges:

  • Alexander Burton, 30, Newburgh, IN
  1. Dealing Methamphetamine, Level 2 Felony
  2. Possession of Methamphetamine, Level 3 Felony
  3. Possession of Hypodermic Syringe, Level 6 Felony
  4. False Reporting, Class A Misdemeanor
  5. Warrant for Failure to Appear (Vanderburgh County)
  • Audrey-Jestina Beverly, 23, Evansville, IN
  1. False Reporting, Class A Misdemeanor

Arresting Officers: Trooper Kyle Otolski and Trooper Aaron Hadley, Indiana State Police
