Prediction For Voter Turn Out During Indiana’s Primary Election

MAY 7TH, 2018 AMANDA PORTER INDIANA   

Candidates are hoping their last-minute push for votes will drive Hoosiers to the polls.

Locations are setting up and preparing voting machines across the state.

Registered voters in Vanderburgh County can cast their ballot at any of the 22 voting centers in the county.

County officials say the number of challenged races on both the Democratic and Republican sides could have a slight impact on voter turn out.

“As of about 10:30 this morning, Vanderburgh County had voted 2,792 people,” says Vanderburgh county clerk Carla Hayden.

“So that is a little bit lower than what it was in 2014 the last time we had a similar election, but we will see how many people turn out tomorrow.”

Polls will open at 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday for Indiana’s primary election.

At National Conference, AG Curtis Hill Shares Indiana’s Experience Involving Retail Security Programs

0

At a national retail conference on Tuesday, Attorney General Curtis Hill shared legal perspectives on issues of law enforcement, loss prevention and store security relating to significant increases in property crimes committed against retailers. He participated in several panel discussions at the 2018 Retail Asset Protection Conference, sponsored by the Retail Industry Leaders Association.

Attorney General Hill focused portions of his remarks on lessons learned in Indiana involving controversy over an anti-shoplifting program developed by Corrective Education Company (CEC) and implemented by Walmart at 36 Indiana locations. At the request of a prosecuting attorney, Attorney General Hill conducted a review that included the cooperation of CEC and Walmart officials. Attorney General Hill determined that the retailer had been offering to forgo contacting the police in exchange for suspects agreeing to enter into their program. This created issues under Indiana law, which  is clear on the manner and authority in which retailers may lawfully detain shoplifting suspects and law enforcement’s role in that process. (See the Attorney General’s official opinion on the program.)

At the conference, Attorney General Hill spoke of the need for strong relationships among retailers and law enforcement agencies. Afterward, he reiterated some of those same themes.

“Law enforcement and retail businesses share common ground in these matters,” Attorney General Hill said. “For its part, the retailer wants to minimize financial loss and keep employees engaged in productive tasks other than surveilling and thwarting shoplifters. The police officer, meanwhile, wants to enforce the law, arrest individuals suspected of crimes and generally safeguard the rights and protections of citizens. When businesses and law enforcement speak openly and respectfully with one another, they can establish the kind of trust and collaboration that leads to effective results for all involved.” Attached are several photos from the national conference,

Dr. William Wooten Honored With Sagamore Of The Wabash

0

 Youth First Founder Dr. William Wooten was recently awarded one of Indiana’s highest honors. At the Emerald Gala celebrating Youth First’s 20th anniversary on April 21, 2018, Dr. Wooten was designated a Sagamore of the Wabash by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb.

Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch announced the award in a video tribute, and it was then presented by Youth First President & CEO Parri O. Black and Youth First Board Member Carol Lynch.

“Dr. Wooten has literally saved thousands of lives through the founding of Youth First. It was no easy task in a world searching for quick fixes, but he knew Youth First must be a coordinated, collaborative, comprehensive, regional and sustained effort in order to fight substance abuse and related concerns like suicide, self-harm, child abuse, violence and other traumatic childhood experiences,” said Lynch.

A former family physician and director of a treatment center, Dr. Wooten founded Youth First in 1998 because he saw a growing number of young people with complex substance use and behavioral health disorders. Feeling there was a gap in prevention services in our area, he rallied community leaders and worked to positively address the problem and help young people succeed.

Over the last 20 years, Dr. Wooten’s concern for young people and dream of a better approach to prevention has resulted in an organization that has become a trusted partner in Indiana and is now a model for the rest of the state.  The Sagamore of the Wabash honorary award was created during the term of Governor Ralph F. Gates, who served as Indiana Governor from 1945 to 1949. Conferred upon Indiana citizens who have contributed greatly to Hoosier heritage, the award has been given to astronauts, presidents, ambassadors, musicians, scientists, politicians and others.

Hitch’s Happy Harmonists by Pat Sides

yesteryear

In the early 1920s, Evansville resident Curt Hitch organized a popular jazz ensemble, Hitch’s Happy Harmonists, which entertained audiences throughout southern Indiana.

The group frequently performed at dances at Indiana University in Bloomington, where they met Hoagy Carmichael, then enrolled as a law student. He accompanied the Harmonists to Gennett Records studio in Richmond, Indiana, where they recorded the first two of Carmichael’s songs, helping to launch his legendary musical career. Here Curt Hitch is seated at the piano (upper right); holding the cornet in front of him is band member Fred Rollison, who later became a prominent radio personality in Evansville.

Late game heroics in 2018. USI has won in its final at-bat (eight times) or in walk-off fashion (four times) in 12 of the 29 victories this spring. The latest was a three-run rally in the 11th to defeat UIndy on Sunday.
