Heating Appliances and Chimneys

0

This is just a reminder that it’s not too late to have gas or oil heating appliances serviced for the winter. This is just a reminder since heating units are start to get a workout is week. We don’t want to forget about those chimneys either. Chimneys should routinely be checked on an annual basis, but now especially since we had an earthquake earlier this year.

Did everyone remember to change your smoke detector batteries when you changed your clocks?  Don’t forget! The life you save, could be your own.

Brantley Gilbert’s Devil Don’t Sleep Tour with special guests Luke Combs, Tucker Beathard & Brian Davis

Feb 23rd 2017- FORD CENTER – Evansville, Indiana TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18th at 10 AM

Quietly selling back-to-back platinum with Halfway To Heaven and Just As I Am, Jefferson, Georgia’s Brantley Gilbert became a different kind of heavy metal force. Not seeking attention, but going straight to the heart of his audience, he tapped into the outlier, the roughneck, the downhome and the downtrodden by rocking his country hard and writing songs torn straight from their lives – making him the word-of-mouth favorite among people who don’t care what you call it, just that you bring it every time.

“People want to rock, they want to party, but they want the songs to be about their lives, and all I’ve ever done is write my life and take it on the road,” says the CMA Song of the Year nominee. “I come from the same kind of place our fans do, and there’s a lot of people just like me and my guys out there – and they show up because they know we’re gonna put it down.”

Starting Feb 2 in Readding, PA., the man with 6 #1s including Jason Aldean’s seminal “Dirt Road Anthem” and “My Kind of Party” picks up where he left off with two sold-out months-in-advance shows at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater with his Devil Don’t Sleep Tour. Since Last year’s Blackout arena tour played to unprecedented numbers across the heart of the rust belt, the true Midwest and across the South in the dead of winter and his summer Take It Outside amphitheater tour saw the BG Nation turn out night after night.

“We try to take all the songs even further live,” says the man whose music includes the life-affirming, dignity-driven “One Hell of an Amen,” the beneath the surface love song “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do” and the hardcore rebellion “Country Must Be Country Wide” in a far-ranging repertoire. “Because those folks who love the records, we know they’re gonna want it
to hit between the eyes when come out to the show, and we wanna give’em the night of the year every time we take that stage.”

That fierce need to push his songs beyond the limit is what’s made the man who’s not afraid to stand up for what he believes in a force on the touring circuit – and it’s what’s going to make Gilbert’s Devil Don’t Sleep 2017 Tour push the limits between what a country show is all about with his unique blend of hard rock, country songcraft and dashes of church music and hip-hop thrown in.

“Headlining shows in arenas gives you a lot of room to rock,” admits the man who won 2013’s Academy of Country Music’s Top New Male and 2014’s American Music Award for Favorite Album – Country for his Just As I Am. “The rooms are big enough, the energy really gets going. They push us, we feed them and the whole thing gets louder and louder til it feels like the roof’s gonna come off. But they listen, the people who come like when we strip it back, and you can hear’em sing. So after last year’s Blackout, this year’s Devil Don’t Sleep is gonna be that much better.”

Named for the album Gilbert will be dropping in early 2017, his latest tour will be an intense night of music, graphics and songs ranging Hank Junior to his own signature kind of post-Outlaw country. Joining him for the tour will be hardcharging Tucker Beathard, currently closing in on #1 with his debut “Rock On,” and indie breakout Luke Combs.

Tickets can be purchased at Ford Center Ticket Office, Ticketmaster.com or by phone 800.745.3000

4 EPD Officers Appeal Suspensions At Police Merit Commission Meeting

NOVEMBER 14TH, 2016

BRITNEY TAYLOR EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

All four officers suspended after an arrest late last month appeal their suspensions. Dozens of officers show their support for them at Monday afternoon’s Police Merit Commission meeting.

The future of these four officers remains unclear. They all appealed their suspensions, but it could take weeks until a decision is made.

The four Evansville Police officers are accused of using excessive force in the arrest of Matt Healy on October 29th. Officers filed documents stating Healy fought with them during the arrest. But body cam footage showed that was not the case.

Officers Mark Decamps, Marcus Craig, and Nick Henderson could be fired. Sergeant Kyle Kassel could be demoted. Indiana State Police are also investigating to see if the men should face criminal charges.

The officers suspensions will be up on Thanksgiving. The chief will decide if they come back to work November 25th or be suspended with pay.

The next Police Merit Commission meeting is November 28th, but no disciplinary action will be taken. However there could be disciplinary hearings scheduled.
