Cox Appointed Executive Director Of Indiana Department Of Homeland Security
Gov. Eric J. Holcomb today announced he has selected Indiana State Fire Marshal Stephen Cox to serve as the executive director of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
“Steve understands the nuts and bolts mission of the Department of Homeland Security. He spent his first 60 days as fire marshal listening and engaging responders across the state, and because of that I’m confident he will be a strong leader for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security as they protect the people, property and prosperity of our state,†Gov. Holcomb said.
Gov. Holcomb appointed Cox in October 2019 as the state fire marshal to lead the Indiana Department of Homeland Security Division of Fire and Building Safety. The division investigates suspicious fires, promotes fire prevention and enforces fire and building safety codes in all public buildings, among other duties.
Prior to serving in state government, Cox was the fire chief in South Bend. He worked for the South Bend Fire Department for 26 years, with 12 years in executive leadership. With the South Bend Fire Department, he served as a paramedic, firefighter, EMS instructor, and EMS chief of the fire department, before being promoted to fire chief in 2012.
As fire chief, Cox created a fire training center which has enabled the department to build a robust training program to support the South Bend department as well as other departments in the state. He also collaborated with the Indiana National Guard to form a Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team, an important asset for Indiana’s disaster preparedness.
Cox served in the U.S. Army as a combat medic overseas in the 101st Airborne. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and has also earned numerous FEMA certifications related to the National Incident Management System.
Cox will begin his new position immediately. An interim state fire marshal will be appointed.

ADOPT A PET
Beth is a female American Staffordshire Terrier (“pit bullâ€) mix. She was transferred to VHS from Evansville Animal Care & Control in October when they were running out of kennel space. She was a shy girl when she first arrived, likely having not been well-socialized to people. But she is coming out of her shell more now. She regularly takes group walks with other dogs and does fine. Her adoption fee is $110 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines, and more.

HAIRBALL – 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR MARCH 7 – VICTORY THEATRE
PRESENTED BY VENUWORKS, MY 105.3 WJLT AND WGBF
TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY, JANUARY 10 AT 10 AM.
Victory Theatre along with My 105.3 WJLT and WGBF are excited to bring back the bombtastic event that brings the nostalgia of arena rock to Evansville. Hairball is returning with their 20th Anniversary Tour on March 7 to Victory Theatre. Tickets start at $25 and go on sale Friday, January 10 at 10am at Ford Center Ticket Office, Victorytheatre.com and Ticketmaster.com. Limited VIP packages are available and prices increase $5 per ticket day of show.
A band puts on a concert – Hairball puts on an event! Hairball is a Rock & Roll experience you won’t soon forget. The lights, sound, smoke, fire, bombs, and screaming hoards of avid fans…to merely call it a concert would be like calling Mount Rushmore a roadside attraction!
Vocalists Joe, Kris and Bobby lead the band through a 2+ hour, mind-blowing, and drop- dead accurate homage to some of the biggest arena acts in the world. Van Halen, KISS, Motley Crue, Queen, Journey, and Aerosmith are but a few of the acts fans will see brought to life. The Hairball stage becomes an entirely new rock concert before your very eyes’ countless times throughout the night.
The motor that drives the Hairball dragster consists of HBK on the electric bass, Billy on the drums, and Happy on the lead guitar. These Rock & Roll soldiers pride themselves on nailing some of the most memorable licks and chops of all time, while adding their own style and flare that they’ve cultivated over decades of tireless performing. This isn’t a side job. These guys eat, sleep and breathe Rock & Roll!
2020 finds Hairball celebrating its 20th year of rocking hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Constantly adding more characters, more pyrotechnics, more lights, more sound, more props, more surprises…more everything! While Happy often tells the audience “Today is the first day is the rest of your life!” Hairball performs every show as though it could be their last. Every night is a 100% full-on, no-holds-barred, exciting, chaotic, fiery party that has to be experienced to be believed!
As important to Hairball as the music, are its fans. While many bands claim to have the best fans in the world, Hairball actually has! Whether they are 10 years old or 100, Hairball fans bring an unparalleled enthusiasm and energy to the show that enhances the arena experience. Hairball knows it wouldn’t exist without its fans and takes every opportunity to let them know that. Whether it’s a pre-show meet and greet, hanging out at the merch booth, or chatting online, Hairball has a lot in common with its fans and it’s always a good time when they get together.
Don’t confuse Hairball with the countless “80’s Tribute” bands across the country. Hairball is an experience, an attitude, and expression of music that isn’t simply a retro flashback. It’s a way of life, and it’s not going anywhere soon!
