EVSC to Host Groundbreaking for New McCutchanville Elementary School

0

The EVSC will host a groundbreaking ceremony for McCutchanville Elementary School – the new school being built on the northside – on Saturday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. The event will include guest speakers as well as an opportunity for families to help the corporation officially break ground on the new building. The event is open to the public and will include refreshments as well as a commemorative shovel for students. A rain date is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 11.

McCutchanville Elementary School, which will be located at 10701 Petersburg Road, is scheduled to open for the 2018-2019 school year and will serve students in prekindergarten through sixth grade. It is located on a 25-acre site purchased in 1995 specifically as a future school site.

The new school boundaries are drawn from portions of Scott and Oak Hill elementary schools. Boundaries include: Highway 41 on the west; Boonville New Harmony Road to Petersburg Road to Green River Road to Ruston on the north; the Warrick County line on the east; and Highway 57 and a line parallel to Hillsdale Road on the south.

Construction on the new school is set to begin immediately.

IMPD Officer Was Qualified As An Expert In Stalking Case

IMPD Officer Was Qualified As An Expert In Stalking Case

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department sergeant was qualified as an expert to testify about Facebook records and digital trails that led to a man’s multiple convictions for felony stalking, the Indiana Court of Appeals decided Friday.

In 2012, Christopher Johnston met D.K. and began contacting her via phone calls, texts and social media for three years. After Johnston did not comply with her requests to stop contacting her, D.K. took out a protective order against Johnston in 2014.

Johnston was arrested in 2015 after going to D.K.’s home and claimed he did not know D.K. A month later, Johnston returned to the home, so D.K. called the police. He was later arrested and charged with Levels 5 and 6 felony stalking for going to D.K.’s home and sending her texts and Facebook messages in 2013 and 2014, as well as two counts of Class A misdemeanor invasion of privacy.

During trial, the state presented IMPD Sgt. Steven Schafer as an expert in forensic analysis. Johnston objected to Schafer’s qualifications, but the Marion Superior Court overruled the objection. Schafer testified that there were multiple Facebook accounts believed to be Johnston’s aliases because they were all associated with Internet cookies attached to the same device and used the same IP address.

Schafer further testified that the likelihood of multiple people using the same device and same IP address to contact D.K. with similar messages was less than “being struck by lightning while hitting the lotto and being bitten by a polar bear at the same time.” Johnston was found guilty on all counts, but the court did not enter judgment on the invasion of privacy counts.

Johnston then appealed in Christopher Johnston v. State of Indiana, 49A04-1603-CR-543, once again arguing that Schafer was not qualified as an expert witness because he works in “a field of study which is highly technical and therefore susceptible to misunderstanding, confusion, and error” and because he did not have the requisite training in statistics to form a valid opinion about the probability of an event.

But Judge Melissa May, writing for the unanimous panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals, noted that the state did not present Schafer as an expert in statistics, but instead as an expert in forensic analysis of social media records and digital trails. Further, Schafer testified that he had been trained and done extensive work analyzing social media accounts, so admitting him as an expert witness was not an abuse of discretion, May wrote.

Similarly, Johnston also argued that the trial court committed fundamental error in allowing Schafer to give the “polar bear analogy” about statistical probability.  But May wrote that Johnston’s fundamental error argument failed because he could not meet the applicable standard to demonstrate that “the record reveals a clearly blatant violation of basic and elementary principles, where the harm or potential for harm cannot be denied, and when the violation is so prejudicial to the rights of the defendant as to make a fair trial impossible.”

USI Gets Two Wins at UIndy, Paxson Falls Short of Record

0

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Track & Field saw two runners take the top spot in their respective events Saturday at the UIndy Collegiate Invitational, hosted by the University of Indianapolis.
Sophomore Kate Henrickson (Boonville, Indiana) earned a victory for the second-consecutive week, this time in the 1,000-meter run. Her time of 3 minutes, 10.81 seconds was good enough to top teammate and runner-up, sophomore Allison Rollins (Evansville, Indiana) by nine-and-a-half seconds.

The Screaming Eagles also took the top two spot in the 3,000-meters. Junior Kate Duty (Owensboro, Kentucky) earned her third career victory, and first outside of the steeplechase event, with her time of 10:45.61. Finishing second, sophomore Micalah Booher (Pendleton, Indiana) finished with a time of 11:04.80. Rounding out the USI participants was freshman Ashley Lawhorn (Frankfort, Kentucky) in 14th.

In the field events, sophomore Hilary Paxson (Liberty Center, Indiana) recorded another top-10 performance in the weight throw. Paxson’s toss of 48 feet, 3.25 inches was good enough for seventh. The distance is enough to move the sophomore into second all-time at USI, just .25″ short of the school record.

USI returns to Indianapolis next weekend, January 27-28 for the Tom Hathaway Distance Classic.

 Swimming and Diving took to Wyttenbach Pool Saturday afternoon for the final home meet of the season.
The teams split the meet: the women took the victory over the Billikens with a score of 151-88, while the men came up just short at 121-102.

The senior class of 2017 was honored prior to the start of the competition. The group includes Matt Childress, Andrew Cotton, Taylor Davidson, Michaela Kent, Everett Plocek, and Nick Riffel.

“I am happy with the way we competed today,” said head coach Rickey Perkins. “Saint Louis is a very good team, and it’s been a long time since the women beat them. And for the men to be so close is incredible. We got out-touched in some close races but we raced very well.”

Junior Danielle Freeman led the Aces with a pair of wins in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle, her times 24.37 and 53.59 respectively. She won both races by nearly a full second each.

Sophomore Kristen Myers showed dominance in her individual events as well. She won the 200 IM with a 2:12.15, and touched in at 58.52 for a second win in the 100 butterfly.

Fellow sophomore Madi Jones earned points for the Aces with a win in the 200 freestyle. She led the pack with a 1:55.92, while freshman Kristy Kupfer followed in second with a 1:58.80. Jones additionally followed Freeman for a second place finish in the 100 freestyle with a time of 54.17.

Hennessy, Jones, sophomore Sam Gowdy, and Kent took the 200 Freestyle Relay in a time of 1:38.45 to finish the day for the women’s squad.

The men’s team had a strong start to the day with a win in the 200 Medley Relay. Junior Dan O’Brien, senior Everett Plocek, junior Prescott Marcy, and senior Matt Childress touched in at 1:36.23, a slim margin from the Billiken relay’s 1:36.3.

Plocek took an individual victory for the men in the 100 breaststroke, narrowly defeating Saint Louis swimmer TJ Decker’s 58.57 with a 58.55.

Plocek took second in the 50 freestyle with a 22.17. Sophomore Matt Duke took the win at a 21.83, and Childress earned the sweep with 22.26.

Freshman Brandt Hudson took second places across the board today. He clocked in at 1:44.10 in the 200 freestyle and 4:48.26 in the 500 freestyle. O’Brien rounded the day out with yet another runner up finish with a 52.90 100 backstroke.

Freshman Paul Cozzens scored a second place finish in the 200 IM, touching just short of the winning time with a 1:56.93. Sophomore Jared Sutphin took another close second as well, with a 48.28 in the 100 freestyle.

The men ended the day the same as they began with a win in the 200 Freestyle Relay. O’Brien, Hudson, Duke, and Sutphin won handily with a 1:27.49.

The Aces had a successful day on the boards as well. Junior Courtney Coverdale took the win on 3-Meter with a score of 263.17. Freshman Alyssa Vonder Haar took third with 153.97. Coverdale and Vonder Haar came back on 1-Meter with 281.85 and 212.70 for first and second respectively. Junior Kasey Rein scored 174.67 for third place to earn the sweep.

Miguel Marcano took both boards for the men, with 212.55 on 3-Meter and 195.07 on 1-Meter.

The Aces return to action with split meets next weekend. The women travel to Illinois State Friday evening to take on the Redbirds, while the men venture north in a matchup at Ball State on Saturday.

Wednesday night game at UNI up next

CHICAGO – Redshirt junior Duane Gibson had his best game since his freshman season, going off for 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting, but Loyola was able to finish the game on a 7-2 run in the final 2:28 to defeat the University of Evansville men’s basketball team by a final of 67-61 on Saturday at Gentile Arena.

“Overall, we showed great fight, but made some mistakes,” UE head coach Marty Simmons said.  “We need to correct those, continue to get better and have a good attitude to move on.”

Gibson posted his 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting while knocking down all five free throw attempts for UE (10-11, 1-7 MVC).  Jaylon Brown totaled 16 points for the Aces while Ryan Taylor finished the game with ten.  Loyola (14-7, 4-4 MVC) was led by a 17-point game from Aundrea Jackson.  He was 7/10 from the floor.  He was one of four Ramblers in double figures on the day.

Shots were falling in the early minutes for the Aces as they hit 4 out of the first 5 shots of the game to take an 8-2 lead.  Loyola’s offense found its groove, getting within one at 8-7 on a free throw by Aundre Jackson.  The Ramblers would take the lead at the 9:46 mark as Ben Richardson hit a 3-pointer to give LUC a 15-14 advantage.

Loyola’s rally continued as Richardson finished off a 20-6 run with his second trey as the Ramblers went up by a 22-14 margin with 6:15 remaining in the period.  Over the final moments of the half, the Aces cut the gap to two as Duane Gibson registered four points in the final two minutes to make it a 30-28 game at the break.  In the first half, Gibson hit 6 of his 9 attempts on his way to 15 points.

Sergej Vucetic tied the game up on the opening possession of the second stanza and had a chance to take the lead, but following a UE miss, Loyola hit a three on the ensuing trip down the floor to take a 38-34 edge with 16:28 remaining in the contest.  Gibson tied it up at 38-38 minutes later and the Aces once again had a chance to take the lead, but the Ramblers had the answer, posting four in a row to go back on top.

Evansville continued to keep it close.  Loyola would take another 5-point lead at 49-44, but the Aces kept fighting as Willie Wiley helped UE get within one, posting four in a row.  With just over six minutes remaining, Jaylon Brown put the Aces back on top at 50-49 with a scoop shot.  Jackson responded on the other end for the Ramblers as an and-one gave LUC a 52-50 edge.

Inside of three minutes left, a Jackson free throw gave the Ramblers a 2-possession lead at 60-56, but Ryan Taylor countered on the next trip down the floor, hitting his second trey of the day to get UE within one.  With just over a minute left, Loyola hit a bucket at the shot clock buzzer to go up by three.  Evansville had an open look at a potential game-tying three with 30 seconds remaining, but Loyola grabbed the miss and was able grab the miss and hit the ensuing free throws before hanging on to win by a 67-61 final.

For the game, UE shot 50% while Loyola finished at 46%.  Loyola won the rebounding battle by a 31-27 final.

A quick 2-game road trip will wrap up on Wednesday with a trip to Cedar Falls, Iowa as the Aces face UNI at 7 p.m.

Motorcyclist Injured after Crash in Melody Hill Neighborhood January 21, 2017

0
On Saturday, January 21, 2017 at 10:05AM the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office and MCutchanville Fire Department responded to a motorcycle crash at the intersection of Ivy Meadow Drive and Hedera Drive near Oak Hill Road.

Once on scene, first responders located a 32-year-old male lying in a yard near the intersection. According to witness information, the motorcycle operator had been traveling westbound on Ivy Meadow when he failed to negotiate a northbound turn onto Hedera Drive.

The motorcyclist was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital for treatment of serious injuries. A preliminary investigation suggests that speed in conjunction with a faulty braking system may have contributed to the crash.
