NOVEMBER 6TH, 2017  BRITNEY TAYLOR EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

 The Ford Center claims the sixth stop around the globe among medium venues. Venues Today tracked venues with a capacity of 10,001 to 15,000 between August 16th and September 16th.

The Ford Center came in at sixth in the world with MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, landing the number one spot.

Not only did the Ford Center claim the sixth spot, but it also claimed the eighth and tenth spots for gross sales for the Kid Rock and Alan Jackson shows.

THE TRAIN OF LIFE

0
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side.
However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life.
Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.  Others will go so unnoticed that we don’t realize they vacated their seats.
This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.
It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life  Reap success and give lots of love.
More importantly, thank God for the journey.  Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.
By the way, I am not planning to get off the train anytime soon but if I do, just remember I am glad you were part of my journey.

Evansville Vanderburgh School Bus Driver Jamie Moxley is the November recipient of the EVSC’s Cause for Applause award. The award seeks to recognize individuals who go above and beyond their normal job responsibilities.

Moxley, a bus driver for Cedar Hall Community School, was nominated by fellow bus driver Debra Hayden. In her nomination letter, Hayden wrote, “Jamie gives from her heart and soul, showing her concern and love for her students.”

According to Hayden, Moxley saw one of her students in need of new, better fitting school clothes at the beginning of the school year. Hayden says Moxley took it upon herself to purchase new clothing for the student, purchasing six new tops and six pairs of pants. “The family was so grateful and the student is now happy to have clothes that fit,” wrote Hayden.

State-of-the-art sensory playground coming to St. Vincent Evansville

0

Generous gift made by Bill & Mary Stone

St. Vincent announced plans to build a state-of-the-art, indoor therapeutic sensory playground for young patients who are cared for at St. Vincent Center for Children in Evansville. The playground will help provide sensory stimulation and cognitive development for children who struggle with a variety of conditions such as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).

The playground was made possible due to a generous donation by Bill and Mary (O’Daniel) Stone. They are natives of Evansville and are 1973 graduates of Memorial High School. Bill is CEO of Connecticut based, SS&C Technologies, which also has a large Evansville office. The playground will be named in honor of Bill’s mom, Patricia Browning Stone, who is also a graduate of Memorial High School and of the St. Mary’s School of Nursing.

“My mom, Patricia Browning Stone, was the embodiment of a strong successful woman.  She cared deeply for children and was taken from us at a young age, said Bill. “We are certain, she is watching from above and she would be very proud to be associated with the fine people who will make this fabulous facility a reality.”

The St. Vincent Center for Children is a comprehensive outpatient facility that was created to address the unmet healthcare needs of the region’s children. Services include pediatric behavioral health, pediatric subspecialty clinic, a resource center and the Tri-State’s only behavior-based, intensive feeding therapy program.

Dan Parod, President, Southwest Indiana Region, St. Vincent Evansville, said “We are extremely grateful to Bill and Mary Stone. Their gift makes this playground possible, which will meet specific therapeutic, educational and recreational needs of young patients.”

A groundbreaking ceremony will be held for the indoor sensory playground on December 19.

 

FORD CENTER CLAIMS 6TH TOP STOP IN THE WORLD

“Venues Today” reported Ford Center as sixth top stop in the world for medium capacity venues. This means all reported numbers by medium venues (10,001 – 15,000 capacity) in the world were turned in and Evansville, IN’s own Ford Center came in number six behind MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas who claimed the number one spot.

This report was pulled between August 16 and September 15. During that time, Ford Center hosted Alan Jackson and Kid Rock bringing almost 15,000 patrons to downtown Evansville. Not only did Evansville claim the number six spot, but also claimed the 8th and 10th spot for gross sales in the medium capacity venues category.

“Ford Center continues to receive support from our tri-state area and claiming a spot in the top 10 is a great accomplishment for the city of Evansville, VenuWorks and Ford Center,” stated Executive Director, Scott Schoenike. “Being recognized on three different accomplishments in the same month is quite the achievement, and knowing we were only 5 spots behind MGM in Las Vegas really shows this community and this industry Ford Center is a venue to be recognized.”

Supreme Court splits 3-2, denies transfer in custody case

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

A mother’s appeal arguing that she was wrongly denied an evidentiary hearing on her petition to modify custody of her daughter was rejected last week by a divided Indiana Supreme Court.

Justices denied transfer in Jennifer Sanders v. Bryan Sanders, 42A01-1606-DR-1340. The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court decision denying Jennifer Sanders’ petition in a memorandum decision in May, but she unsuccessfully sought to appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court.

Jennifer Sanders argued in her appeal that she was denied due process when the Knox Superior Court denied her motion without a full evidentiary hearing. She also argued the trial court erred by concluding that she had not established a substantial change of circumstances that warranted modifying parenting time for her daughter from joint custody to an award to her of primary custody.

The Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of mother’s motion, holding that she waived any objection to a lack of a hearing when she didn’t object to the trial court’s summary procedure. The COA also found the trial court’s decision was based on sufficient evidence.

Justices denied Jennifer Sanders’ transfer petition on a 3-2 vote. Chief Justice Loretta Rush joined a written dissent by Justice Steven David, who wrote that he would grant transfer to remand to the trial court so the parties could either stipulate to a summary proceeding or have a contested hearing.
