Man Injured in Tree Stand Fall (Pike County)

0

Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating a tree stand accident that resulted in serious bodily injury.

Aaron Mason (34) of Spurgeon Indiana was setting up a tree stand, trying to secure a ratchet strap when he lost balance and jumped approximately twelve feet to the ground.

He was taken to Memorial Hospital in Jasper with significant injuries to his right ankle.

The accident took place on Sugar Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area in Pike County near Island Pit around 2:30 pm on Saturday November 5th 2016.

Mason was not wearing any type of safety harness at the time of the fall. This is the sixteenth tree stand accident in Indiana in 2016.

Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball Team Upsets Butler University

0

Junior guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) scored 19 of her game-high 22 points in the second half as the University of Southern Indiana women’s basketball team scored a 61-56 exhibition victory over NCAA Division I foe Butler University Sunday afternoon at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse.

 

In a back-and-forth game that featured several runs by both teams, it was a decisive 7-0 run late in the fourth quarter that lifted the Screaming Eagles to the win.

 

USI, which posted its first exhibition win since defeating the University of Evansville, 76-72, at the Ford Center in 2014, trailed 54-50 with just over two minutes to play when it went on the 7-0 spurt.

 

Grooms, who scored 13 of her 22 points in the fourth quarter, began the run with a jumper; then hit a three-pointer a minute later to give USI a 55-54 lead with just over a minute to play.

 

Senior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) got a steal on Butler’s next possession and hit 1-of-2 free throws to give USI a two-point lead with less than 40 seconds on the clock. Marcum hit 1-of-2 free throws, once again, to extend USI’s lead to three points with 12 seconds left in the game.

 

Butler’s attempt to tie the contest with a three-pointer on the ensuing possession was off the mark, but a put-back by sophomore guard Alexa Bailey with seven seconds to play ended USI’s 7-0 run and cut its lead to a single point.

 

Sophomore center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) hit two free throws on USI’s next possession; then Grooms drained two more free throws with less than a second left to give the Eagles the five-point win.

 

USI began the game by scoring nine of the first 11 points, but Butler answered with 18 straight to take a commanding 20-9 lead midway through the second quarter. The Eagles answered with runs of 8-0 and 5-0 to tie the contest at 26-26 heading into the intermission; then scored eight of the final 10 points to end the third quarter with a 39-38 advantage.

 

In addition to Grooms, Marcum had 17 points to go along with a game-high five assists and four steals, while junior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois) chipped in eight points and a game-high eight rebounds.

 

Freshman guard Kristen Spolyar had 12 points and seven rebounds to lead the Bulldogs, who were outrebounded 40-34.

 

USI opens the regular-season Friday at 6 p.m. when it hosts NAIA foe Roosevelt University at the Physical Activities Center. The Lakers (1-0) are under the direction of former USI point guard Keisha (Collins) Newell.

A VOTE FOR TRUMP

A VOTE FOR TRUMP

Making Sense by Michael Reagan

Trump or Clinton?

No one has a clue who will win on Election Day.

The polls are narrowing, as they always do, but they’re still all over the place or within the margin of error.

Maybe Wisconsin will flip to red.

Maybe millions of Colorado’s potheads will vote for Trump.

Maybe this time enough socially conservative, union-worshipping Reagan Democrats in western and central Pennsylvania will vote Republican and offset the landslide that Philly and its suburbs gives the Democrat candidate every four years.

Maybe the FBI, Wikileaks or the Wall Street Journal will end all the drama and drop another big one on Hillary Clinton’s head this weekend that will expose her crude criminality to even the lowest of America’s low-information voters.

Let us pray.

Meanwhile, some conservative pundits already are saying that if Donald Trump loses it’ll be the fault of the Never-Trumpers.

Or the fault of the liberal media. Or low Republican turnout. Or an early frost in New Hampshire.

They’ll blame defeat on anyone or anything but the real reason —- Trump himself.

If he loses, it’s going to be because of all the insulting or dumb things he’s said for the last year and a half.

Or because of his “woman problem.” Or because he managed to offend or scare every Latino or Muslim in America.

It won’t be because John Kasich, me or anyone else in the Republican Party didn’t have the stomach to endorse him.

Likewise, if Trump wins, it’ll be because Hillary’s campaign has collapsed under the weight of her lies and criminality while he stayed on message.

It’ll be because he had the right message at the right time.

It’ll be because millions of Americans decided it was high time to throw elite bums like the Clintons out of Washington.

It’ll be because voters finally realized that no matter how bad Donald the Narcissist was, Hillary the Criminal and her gang of liars was much worse.

Narcissism is no virtue, but it’s not a crime, either. It’s only a character flaw —- at its worst, a personality disorder most common in men.

To get technical, the Mayo Clinic defines its symptoms as including “an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others’ feelings, an inability to handle any criticism and a sense of entitlement.”

OK, that sounds like Trump, all right. But some of those traits could apply to a lot of great or successful people in politics and entertainment.

Bill Clinton. Barack Obama. Crooked Hillary herself. Every Kennedy who ran for office. Every other U.S. Senator or media personality. Every other movie star or rock star.

Lots of people from Rush Limbaugh to Bruce Springsteen to your favorite city’s mayor have a little borderline narcissism in their personality.

But criminality is immoral and evil.

It’s when you create a charity so you can enrich yourself and family by peddling your influence to oligarchs and despots around the world.

Or when you help your friends or relatives get rich by helping earthquake victims in Haiti.

Or when you lie to Congress, the media and the voters to cover up your sleazy pay-to-play enterprises.

On Tuesday we’ll all have to choose between the Narcissist and the Criminal.

I’m still choosing the Narcissist.

COA Affirms Convictions Of Auto Theft, Resisting Law Enforcement

COA Affirms Convictions Of Auto Theft, Resisting Law Enforcement

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

A man convicted of stealing a car and fleeing police will not have his convictions reversed after the Indiana Court of Appeals found Friday that there was enough evidence to infer he was guilty of the charges against him.

After Kelly Poyck reported her silver 2002 Chevrolet Prizm stolen in April 2015, an acquaintance spotted the stolen vehicle in a bank parking lot six days later and called the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. When Officer Aaron Helton responded to the scene, two men were exiting the car. One of the men fled the scene, while the other, Mickel Thacker, walked toward the bank.

Although Helton initially pursued Thacker’s companion, he spotted Thacker near the bank entrance and was able to arrest him. After a bench trial, the Marion Superior Court found Thacker guilty of Level 6 felony auto theft and Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement.

The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions in Mickel Thacker v. State of Indiana, 49A02-1510-1563. Judge Melissa May wrote for the panel that Poyck had testified to her car being stolen and that Helton saw Thacker in the driver’s seat, which is enough evidence to permit a reasonable inference that Thacker was in possession of the stolen vehicle. However, May also wrote that the court agreed with Thacker’s argument that because six days passed between Poyck’s report and Thacker’s arrest, Thacker’s possession of the vehicle was not enough to prove auto theft.

But Poyck testified that the only damage to her car before the theft was a small dent, while the damage after the fact included a “busted out” window, a damaged door and a ripped-off gas cap. The state showed evidence to the court of what appeared to be pry marks around the window that had been broken, and Poyck further testified that the gas cap had likely been ripped off because the thieves couldn’t find the lever.

Those facts, together with the fact that Thacker and his accomplice had attempted to flee when police arrived, would be enough to permit a factfinder to infer that Thacker knew he was exerting unauthorized control over the vehicle and, thus, affirm his auto theft conviction, May wrote.

In regard to his resisting law enforcement charge, Thacker argued he did not flee from Helton but instead did not hear the officer tell him to stop. May wrote that such a claim was a request for the appellate panel to reweigh evidence, which it cannot do.

Further, May noted that when Helton approached Thacker, he was in a marked police car, had activated his emergency lights and had sounded the siren a couple of times. Additionally, Helton testified that he had jumped from the car with his gun drawn and had yelled, “Stop, police” within 15 to 20 feet of the two men. That evidence was also sufficient for a factfinder to conclude that Thacker knowingly fled from police, May wrote. Thus, his resisting law enforcement conviction was also affirmed.
