Supporters Walk Across Evansville To Conquer Chiari

SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2018 TOWNSEND OUTLAW EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

The weather told held up for Evansville’s 11th Annual Chiari Walk.

Dozens of people gathered at Garvin Park for the “Conquer Chiari Walk Across America.” Chiari is a rare congenital disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord. With September being Chiari Malformation Awareness Month, families and supporters wore t-shirts and walked around Evansville to support survivors, some of whom still struggle with simple daily tasks.

Dennise Wiley, who directly has been affected by Chiari explains “Some of them are like my son who can’t walk far, he will be in a stroller, some of them are in wheelchairs. Don’t judge someone just because of looks. It is not something you can visually see and a lot of times you can not see their scars or you don’t know what kind of pain they are in, that day it could be one of their best days ever and within an hour it can be their worst.”

All proceeds from the event will be used to fund Chiari research, education, and awareness programs.

Ineffective Counsel Arguments In OWI Appeal Lack Cogent Reasoning

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalwyer.com

A man’s arguments on appeal from his drunken-driving conviction that he had ineffective assistance of counsel were rejected in substance and form by the Indiana Court of Appeals on Friday.

The appellate court affirmed Chad Thomas Burnell’s conviction of operating a vehicle while intoxicated as a Class A misdemeanor and operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of .08 or more as a Class C misdemeanor, and his adjudication as a habitual vehicular substance offender, elevating the Class A misdemeanor to a Level 6 felony.

A Hamilton County deputy stopped Burnell’s vehicle after midnight on Thanksgiving Day 2016 after it abruptly weaved and crossed the center line. The deputy smelled alcohol and determined Burnell had a suspended sentence. A breath test showed he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.119, well above the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He was convicted in a jury trial about a year ago.

On appeal, Burnell raised eight issues of ineffective assistance, but the panel found he “waived seven of the eight contentions he raises on appeal by failing to provide cogent argument and citation to legal authority in compliance with Indiana Appellate Rule 46(A)(8),” Judge L. Mark Bailey wrote for the panel.

The panel noted that some of Burnell’s “contentions are each only one sentence long — and incomplete sentences at that — with no citation to legal authority or the record.” In a footnote, Bailey wrote, “In fact, much of Burnell’s brief consists of incomplete sentences and other grammatical errors, making it difficult to even ascertain what his contentions are.”

The panel found his remaining contention — that his counsel failed to interview or depose a Sheridan officer who Burnell said he’d spoken with about a half-hour before his arrest — was the only argument to consider in Chad Thomas Burnell v. State of Indiana, 29A02-1710-CR-2374.

“(W)hile Burnell may have provided the minimum amount of reasoning and citation to authority required as to his contention that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to depose the Sheridan police officer, he failed to show how his trial counsel’s error prejudiced him, given the overwhelming evidence of his intoxication,” the panel concluded.

Eagles grounded by #20 Bulldogs, 2-0

0

The University of Southern Indiana women’s soccer team dropped a 2-0 decision to 20th-ranked Truman State University Sunday afternoon in Kirksville, Missouri. USI goes to 2-3-1 overall and 1-1-0 in the GLVC, while Truman sees its record go to 5-1-0, 1-1-0 GLVC.

USI fell behind late in the first half when Truman took a 1-0 lead with a goal at 33:58. The Bulldogs would hold that one goal advantage through the intermission.

In the second half, the Bulldogs would add another tally to their total for the 2-0 final at 81:35. The Eagles had a total of eight shots on the day, three on-goal, but could not get by the Truman defenses.

USI stays on the road on in the GLVC for its next match, visiting Missouri University of Science & Technology Friday at 5 p.m. The Miners are 1-4-0 overall and 0-2-0 in the GLVC after falling 1-0 at Quincy University this afternoon.

The Eagles lead the Miners all-time, 10-5-0, in a series that dates back to 1996 when Missouri S&T was named the University of Missouri-Rolla. USI is 3-2-0 in the last five games, including last season’s 3-1 win at Strassweg Field.

The next home match for the Eagles comes in a week when USI welcomes Bellarmine University to Strassweg Field for a noon match. The Knights lead the Eagles all-time, 13-6-5, since the creation of the USI women’s soccer program in 1996.

Jessie Brumley was the top performer on Sunday as the University of Evansville men’s golf squad took 13th place in the EKU Intercollegiate.

Brumley carded a 1-under 69 to post the top round of the weekend for the Purple Aces.  His effort saw him finish the three rounds with a 224, third on the UE team and tied for 60th overall.

Leading the team was Dallas Koth.  After recording scores of 74 and 72 on Saturday, Koth notched a 73 on his way to a 219, tying for 35th.  Spencer Wagner finished the tournament one behind Koth with a 220.  His final round score checked in at a 75.

Finishing third on the team with a 224 was Burmley while Noah Reese followed him with a 225.  Matthew Ladd completed the UE contingent with a 228 after carding a 73 on Sunday, his lowest round of the tournament.

Leading the way for UE’s three individuals was Gabe Rohleder.  His final round score of 75 put him in a tie for 80th place with a 230.  His final tally was tied with Tyler Roat, who posted a 77 in the final 18.  Robert Waggoner was the third of the Aces individuals, finishing his three rounds with a 232.

Eastern Michigan took the team championship by ten strokes over Eastern Kentucky.  The Eagles finished with a final total of 838 strokes.

Kyle Slattery (SIUE) and Billy Basham (EKU) finished tied for first at the end of 54 holes.  Slattery birdied the first hole of a playoff to win the individual title.

Evansville continues play next weekend as they head to Elk Run Golf Club in Batavia, Ohio for the Northern Kentucky Collegiate Classic.  It will take place on Sunday and Monday.
