GOLDY LOCKS BAND BEARS DOWN ON 421!

0

On stage, with platinum tresses swirling, Goldy Locks rocks just right!  And she’s a model of ambition gone wild!

It’s only logical she’d become musically obsessed at a young age – her hippie parents named her after the Cat Stevens song “Moon Shadow.”  While still in her teens, the girl who later dubbed herself Goldy Locks, taught herself how to play keyboards, guitar and violin.  By the time she was 20, she was polished enough to open for acts like Pink!

But her journey has taken many paths.  You may have seen Goldy on TLC’s “Extreme Cheapskates”, CMT’s “Running Wild With Ted Nugent,” or TNA Pro Wrestling.

Now you can see her in-person at Tropicana Evansville’s 421 Casino Lounge Friday, September 7, from 7PM-12AM and Saturday, September 8, from 7PM-10:30PM.

The band’s music is a smooth brew with a powerful kick – fusing rock and pop, jazz and metal.  In addition to original songs from Goldy Locks, you’ll likely hear tunes from Nickelback, Lita Ford, Nirvana, Lady Gaga and the Black Crowes.

After the band, don’t miss DJ Dadi with his electrified mix and turntables of fire Saturday night only from 11PM-2AM! No admission fee, just a two-drink minimum for a night of fun!

For more information, contact Bobbi Warren, Bobbi Warren Productions, at 812-401-0094 or bobbi.warren@att.net.

AG Curtis Hill joins multistate coalition urging Supreme Court to allow police officers to act to protect public safety

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today announced Indiana has joined a coalition of 15 states and the District of Columbia in a friend-of-the-court brief in a U.S. Supreme Court case that could make it more difficult for police to do their jobs. The brief urges the Court to overrule a lower court and hold that a police officer is not subject to a retaliatory-arrest suit when the officer had probable cause to make an arrest. The brief explains that a contrary ruling would constrain officers’ ability to protect the public, including through community policing.

“The safety of families and neighborhoods across Indiana and the entire nation depends on the ability of police to exercise their duties in good faith whenever they perceive probable cause to make arrests,” Attorney General Hill said. “Suspects obviously enjoy the right of due process and should always be considered innocent until proved guilty in court, but at the point of arrest police must feel free to do their jobs and follow proper procedure without fear of unreasonable second-guessing of their actions after the fact. At a moment’s notice, our brave officers must make snap judgment calls that often are truly life-or-death decisions.”

The multistate amicus brief comes in Nieves v. Bartlett, a case in which a man sued two Alaska state troopers who had arrested him for disorderly conduct. Although there was probable cause for the arrest, the arrestee sued, claiming that the troopers were retaliating against the exercise of his First Amendment rights. The Court must decide whether a plaintiff may sue police officers for retaliatory arrest if the officer had probable cause to arrest the plaintiff. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of the arrestee, and the officers appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.

The states’ brief argues that a decision upholding the 9th Circuit would inhibit effective policing and encourage a flood of lawsuits claiming retaliatory arrest. This would chill the willingness of officers to make arrests, even when based on probable cause and when necessary to protect the public safety. Acknowledging the importance of the First Amendment interests at stake, the brief also contends that the states and the District have effective administrative and disciplinary procedures in place, including civilian complaint review boards, to address misconduct by officers and to protect those interests.

Holcomb announces $1 billion in infrastructure spending

0

By James Polston
TheStatehouseFile.com

MARTINSVILLE, Ind. — Gov. Eric Holcomb announced a $1 billion investment in infrastructure projects Tuesday, funded by a 35 percent increase in toll rates for heavy duty vehicles on the Indiana toll road.

“Today we’re sending a big message to the world that Indiana is making a huge investment in our quality of life and for those who inspire to join us,” Holcomb said as he unveiled the infrastructure portion of his 2019 agenda in Martinsville. “We are linking Hoosiers to each other and to the world.”

The Next Level Connections program will connect Hoosiers digitally, by trails, roads, air, water and railroad with $1 billion that comes from a renegotiated deal with the Indiana Toll Road Concessions Company (ITRCC).

Holcomb said this was the third renegotiated contract with ITRCC since the toll road was created and funded the Major Moves project that former Gov. Mitch Daniels laid out in 2005. 

The renegotiation allows the ITRCC to raise tolls for three-axel vehicles and more by 35 percent. The ITRCC will pay the state the $1 billion over the next three years, with the first payment of $400 million is expected next month, the second payment of $300 million arriving in October 2019, and the third payment of $300 million landing in October 2020. 

The ITRCC will also invest $50 million more in upgrades to the toll road in the short term and a total of $500 million over 10 years. The upgrades include installation of smart truck parking system, expansion of overhead message boards, cameras and variable speed signs.

The governor will not need legislative approval because it is a renegotiated deal. The money will be put into Major Moves, the fund set up when the toll road was privatized,  and the Indiana Department of Transportation will distribute the money to the administration’s spending priorities.

The announcement has received positive and negative feedback from state lawmakers.

“Dependable infrastructure contributes greatly to Indiana’s economy and quality of life for our citizens,” state Sen. Rodric Bray, R-Martinsville, said in a statement. “Ensuring our state has sound transportation and broadband systems is key as we work to continue attracting businesses and talent to our state, and I applaud the governor’s focus on this important issue.”

But state Rep. B. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, said the rate hike will have a negative impact on consumers by increasing the price of products like food and clothing hauled by the trucks. Tolls for the largest vehicles, for example, will increase from $44.46 to $60.02 for the length of the highway. 

“Gov. Holcomb is proposing yet another tax increase for vehicles traveling the Indiana Toll Road, this time in the form of a hike of more than 30 percent on commercial trucks,” Bauer said in a statement.

The $1 billion investment will be spent on the following infrastructure projects:

  • $100 million will bring affordable high-speed fiber optic broadband access to unserved and underserved rural areas of the state.
  • $90 million will create more hiking, biking and riding trails around the state. Holcomb announced the plan is to have a trail within five miles of anywhere Hoosiers  reside.
  • $600 million will accelerate the completion of the Interstate 69 project from 2027 to 2024. Holcomb said when INDOT took over the I-69 project a year ago only 33 percent of section five was complete and to this day, INDOT is 97-percent done and days away from completion. The last section and will connect Martinsville to Indianapolis.
  • $190 million will be spent on improvements to U.S. 20 and 30 and new interchanges on U.S. 31. Holcomb also said with the new interchanges in the works for U.S. 31, when completed, there will only be two stoplights from South Bend to Indianapolis.
  • $20 million will be spent to create more international nonstop flights to and from Indianapolis. The Indianapolis International Airport just added its first nonstop international flight to Paris in May.

The parts that do not fall under the $1 billion spending plan are increasing the INDOT budget from $19 million to $57 million for state highway cleaning and mowing, the option for the state to purchase 725 acres of land in Lawrenceburg to create the state’s fourth water port, and two rail road projects in northern Indiana.

Holcomb will announce the rest if his 2019 agenda in the coming months.

Otters fall to Wild Things in first game of FLDS

0
The Evansville Otters struck for an early lead in the first game of the Frontier League Division Series but could not break through further as the Washington Wild Things grabbed a 4-1 win over the Otters Tuesday at Bosse Field.
Evansville scored early for the first run of the game in the bottom of the first inning. With two runners on base, Jeff Gardner lined a single up the middle to score David Cronin from third base and giving the Otters a 1-0 lead.
Being given the 1-0 edge, Otters starting pitcher Randy Wynne retired the first eleven Washington batters he faced with Reydel Medina hitting a double in the top of the fourth for the Wild Things’ first hit of the game.
In the top of the sixth, the first four Washington batters hit safely, leading to the tying run for Washington at 1-1.
The Wild Things would continue to add on two more runs in the sixth inning on a fielder’s choice and a sac fly by Carter McEachern to take a 3-1 advantage.
Roman Collins tacked on another insurance run with a solo home run in the top of the eighth, pushing the Wild Things’ lead to 4-1 and the game’s final score.
On the mound, Washington’s Thomas Dorminy earned the win after tossing seven innings, allowing an unearned run and striking out seven.
Evansville’s Randy Wynne is dealt the loss, going five innings and surrendering five runs on five hits with three strikeouts.
Washington closer Zach Strecker recorded the save in the ninth.
The second game of the best-of-series will be Wednesday from Bosse Field with first pitch at 6:35 p.m.
