New Indiana Law Addresses Legal And Civil Issues For People Who Forcibly Enter A Locked Vehicle To Remove An Animal

On April 26th, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed Indiana House Bill 1085 into law. The law addresses legal and civil issues for civilians who forcibly enter a vehicle to remove a domestic animal. There are several key points to this law that people need to be aware of before taking any action.

—-The animal must be a domestic animal as defined by Indiana statute
—-You must feel the animal is imminent danger of serious bodily injury (The law does not specify hot or cold temps)
—-You MUST call 911 or contact a law enforcement officer, animal control officer, a firefighter, or other emergency responder BEFORE you forcibly enter the vehicle
—-You will be responsible for 50% of the cost to repair damage that you cause
—-You MUST only use the amount of force reasonably necessary to enter the vehicle
—-You MUST remain with the animal until one of the previously listed public safety officials arrive
—-You will be immune fro m criminal liability if you followed the law
—-The owner of the animal is immune from civil liability if you are injured by an animal after you forcibly enter a vehicle
—-Public safety officials and certain veterinary professionals are immune from all criminal and civil liability

If you are concerned about an animal that has been left in a car in the city of Evansville, we recommend that you call 911 and wait for a public safety official to arrive. Doing so will protect you from all potential liabilities. If you feel you can’t wait, please follow the listed guidelines to ensure you receive the protections provided by the new law.

Aces Softball finishes home slate this weekend

UE welcomes Illinois State to Cooper Stadium

In their final home series of the season, the University of Evansville softball team welcomes league-leading Illinois State to Cooper Stadium for a 3-game set.

Play begins on Saturday with a noon doubleheader before an 11 a.m. single game completes the series on Sunday.

Evansville is coming off of a hard-fought 1-0 loss at Southern Illinois on Tuesday.  A pitcher’s duel for the ages, UE starter Morgan Florey and SIU’s Brianna Jones duked it out for over 9 innings before the Salukis scored the game-winner in the bottom of the 9th.

Florey tossed 9 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on six hits while striking out seven.  UE had seven hits on the day with Hayli Scott accounting for two of them.

Over her previous four games, Morgan Florey has thrown 30 1/3 innings as she picked up two victories and allowed just four runs. She began last week with a complete game, 2-hit shutout over Southern Illinois while striking out 12 batters.  She followed that up on Saturday with another gem, going the distance in the opener against Indiana State, giving up just one run on three hits while fanning six batters.  Florey registered her second win of the week on Sunday with another complete game effort before going the distance in Carbondale on Tuesday.

In between games on Saturday, nine UE seniors will be recognized for their contributions to the program.  The Class of 2017 includes: Mickaela Fleming, Courtney Land, Susan Norris, Michal Luckett, Hayli Scott, Chandra Parr, Ashlee Kawall, Morgan Lambert and Samantha Fleming.

Illinois State sits atop the Missouri Valley Conference with an 18-3 mark in the league while recording a 28-17 overall record.  Shannon Felde is the top hitter for the Redbirds, standing at .416.  Jordan de los Reyes checks in with a .393 average as ISU hits .314 as a team.  Sarah Finck holds a 20-8 record in the circle while notching a 2.38 ERA.

Tkachenko and Yamada earn MVC awards

Duo honored at league banquet

 Diana Tkachenko was named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year while Chieko Yamada earned a spot on the league’s All-Select Team as the MVC announced its women’s tennis postseason awards on Thursday.

Tkachenko completed a spectacular freshman campaign at UE as she went 31-8 overall and 6-1 in conference play.  She also had a nice fall season, highlighted by a 2nd place finish at #2 singles in the MVC Individual Tournament.  Her impressive run through the MVC included wins over SIU, UNI, Missouri State, Drake, Bradley and Illinois State.

“I knew that we had something very special in this freshman class and none more so than Diana. She has exceeded my expectations this season at every turn. Diana has put together not only one of the best seasons for a freshman, but the best season by an Aces women’s tennis player, ever,” Purple Aces head coach Jayson Wiseman said.  “She already has 44 combined wins and 31 singles victories which is nothing short of amazing. I know that she feels very honored to have been chosen Freshman of the Year especially considering the stiff competition she was up against for the award.”

Slotted at #1 singles for the Purple Aces in 2016-16, Chieko Yamada won 18 matches while going an impressive 4-3 in conference matches in the top spot.  She defeated UNI, SIU, Bradley and Missouri State.  Yamada also picked up 14 doubles victories this year.

“Chieko has been such a phenomenal edition to our team this year. After a slow start, she has really nailed down the #1 singles position and has been absolutely on fire over the last couple months of the season,” Wiseman added.  “Being named to the All Select team is a well-deserved honor that she has worked very hard for.”

Evansville begins the MVC Championship on Friday against Drake.

IS IT TRUE APRIL 28, 2017

10

IS IT TRUE our discovery and exposure of the losses incurred by the City of Evansville golf courses and pointing out that running a loss on golf courses is subsidizing the sport of the rich has raised some of our reader’s levels of awareness of this idiotic governmental practice?…one particular reader who was in a position to provide is with the number of rounds played per year took issue with our call for a $20 increase in green fees?…we appreciate the scrutiny as our estimate was just an estimate?…the reality is that there are between 50,000 and 75,000 rounds of golf on these courses in given year?…given that information and using an average loss of $200,000 per year, the CCO would like to amend our call for each round of golf to cost $5 more starting immediately?…if use remains the same, this $5 increase should not only cover the losses but allow the Parks Department to start to accumulate about $50,000 per year to rebuild a positive fund balance making the golf courses profitable and sustainable?

IS IT TRUE that at Monday evening City Council meeting the GM of VenueWorks/Ford Center stunned those in the audience when he stood in front of the Council and gave the impression that he wasn’t concerned about the Evansville Thunderbolts making a profit?

IS IT TRUE it looks like VenuWorks General Manager could use a crash course in profits and sustainability since he stood before the Evansville City Council and repudiate the profit motive?…it is still shocking that anyone who is on the payroll of a for profit company could even think such absurd thoughts, unless of course he is operating a company with no risk of loss challenges?

IS IT TRUE that the members of ERC Board and Mayor Winnecke are discredited when they contactually insulated  VenuWorks from the risks and rewards of the free market by letting the TAXPAYERS cover their losses is just wrong?

IS IT TRUE  we wonder if you can tell us whats wrong with this picture?  …the Evansville IceMen paid $10.000 per home game?  …they played 36 home games and paid the Ford Center a total of $360,000  for the season?  …the  Evansville Thunderbolts per home game cost was  a mere $1,000 per game?  …the Thunderbolts played  for 28  home games?  …the Evansville IceMen paid the Ford Center of $360,000 and the Thunderbolts paid the Ford Center $28,000 for the season?  … the  differential between the Thunderbolts and IceMen payment to the Ford Center for home games rental was a whooping $332,000?  …now can you tell us what wrong with this picture?

IS IT TRUE we wonder if anyone has heard the rumor that VenuWorks annual operating expense report didn’t include utilities costs at the Ford Center?

IS IT TRUE that downtowns all over the country and especially in the Midwest were literally executed by suburban shopping malls?…Washington Square was the downfall of downtown Evansville as a shopping destination?…Eastland Mall relegated Washington Square Mall to a lesser status and these days online shopping and drone deliveries are killing the malls?…the days of brick and mortar retail for routine items is dying like the dinosaurs and nothing is going to stop it?…this may open a short window of opportunity for unique boutiques and restaurants that gravitate to old downtown districts for a while?…there may be a short term illusion of success with boutiques, but long term it is going to be an online shopping world and everybody in a position of risk knows it?

IS IT TRUE we wonder how the city is going pay off the $129 million bond note that was used to build the Ford Center if the facility is losing money every year?

IS IT TRUE we wonder why the mainstream media hasn’t taken the Ford Center/VenueWorks  General Manager to task for his unacceptable remarks about profitability?  …we thought members of the main stream media were fiscal watchdogs for our community?

Todays “READERS POLL” question is; Are you pleased that City Councilman Justin Elpers requested that the Manager of the Ford Center update Council on the current status of the Thunderbolt hockey team?

Indiana State Police Partners with the DEA and the Indiana Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force

0

On Saturday, April 29, 2017 the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the 13thnationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative.  The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs.

Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment.  This program is for liquid and pill medications.  Needles, new or used, will not be accepted for disposal.

This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.

Once again, the Indiana State Police are pleased to partner with the DEA, and as in the past, the drugs may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except the Toll Road Post.  The event will be on Saturday, April 29th, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Also, the Indiana State Police will host a drop off site on Friday, April 28th, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. inside the Indiana Government Center North public entrance off of Robert Orr Plaza in Indianapolis.  This is between the government north and south buildings, immediately west of the State Capitol building.
