Aces fall by 3-2 final on Saturday evening

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Rocio Fortuny put on an offensive show, notching 16 kills in a 5-set match that saw Indiana State defeat the University of Evansville volleyball team on Saturday evening by a 3-2 final at the Carson Center.

Fortuny led all players with her kill tally and also hit a team-best .310.  She was also one of five Purple Aces (4-16, 0-7 MVC) to finish in double figures in digs, posting 10.  Olivia Goldstein led the way in that category, totaling 17 digs.  Mildrelis Rodriguez had a solid night with 10 kills and 16 digs.  Rachel Tam added 9 kills and 15 digs.  Joselyn Coronel registered a team-best 23 assists.

Bree Spangler led the Sycamores (8-10, 2-4 MVC) with 14 kills while Kynedi Nalls posted 13.

Indiana State opened the evening with a 25-18 victory.  After taking a 6-1 advantage early on, the Sycamores extended their lead to 11 at 16-5.  Evansville never gave up and battled to the end.  They cut the deficit to five at 23-18 as Rocio Fortuny notched two kills, but the Sycamores were able to record the final two points to take the set.

Another early run saw the Sycamores score the first five points of the second game, but UE quickly fought back.  Erlicia Griffith notched a kill before a pair of block assists helped the Aces tie it up at 9-9.  Evansville grabbed its first lead at 12-11 on an Olivia Goldstein service ace.

UE went up 13-11, but the Sycamores made their way back to retake the lead at 19-18.  Evansville showed its resilience once again, recording the next four points before taking the 25-21 win as Fortuny notched six kills in the frame.

In the third game, ISU got off to a 4-0 start and never looked back, taking a 25-15 win.  Evansville had the upper hand to begin game four, jumping out to a 4-1 advantage.  After the Sycamores tied it up at 5-5, UE rattled off the next five tallies in a row and extended the lead to 18-11.  Up 23-17, the Aces were the victims of a pair of Sycamore service aces as they rallied back to get within three at 23-20, but Evansville finished off the game, winning 25-21

After falling behind 3-1 in the fifth set, the Aces took the lead at 4-3.  The Sycamores made their way back, taking an 8-6 advantage before UE had a run of its own, tying it up at 8 all.  Four in a row from ISU was the difference as they finished off the night with a 15-10 victory to clinch the match.

A trip to Missouri State awaits the Purple Aces on Monday night as they will face the Bears in a 7 p.m. match in Springfield.

BREAKING NEWS: WINNECKE ANNOUNCES NEWLY AMENDED CITY EMPLOYEES SELF-FUNDED HEALTHCARE PLAN

1

 Below Is An  E-Mail Message From Mayor Winnecke Regarding The Newly Amended 2017 City Employees Healthcare Plan Benefit Plan

As has been well publicized, the City of Evansville is working to address the rising costs of healthcare. Consequently, when we rolled out the proposed 2017 budget in August, we announced that there would be significant changes in the insurance plans for the new year with corresponding increases to employees.

These decisions have been among the toughest I’ve made since holding office. Since the initial announcement, I’ve received many employee emails, taken phone calls, spoken to several of you individually and have had multiple discussions with City Council leadership. I am grateful for the feedback, truly.

We have reduced premiums once since the initial rollout. That reduction was essentially “funded” by reducing our desired savings.

After further review and input, it is clear that shifting the cost of the salary increase for non-contractual employees to help lower health insurance premiums would be of greater financial value.

By taking this action, additional reductions in premiums can now be realized. The new monthly premiums, effective January 2017 on Plan 1 (the $1,000 individual deductible plan) are as follows:

Employee only: $65.43
Employee plus child: $124.33
Employee plus spouse: $137.41
Family $183.22

As always, my door is always open and I appreciate your service to our City.

Lloyd

FOOTNOTE: This message is intended for all employees enrolled in the City’s Self- Funded Healthcare Plan.

Federal Judge Dismisses Class-Action Lawsuit Against Carmel

Federal Judge Dismisses Class-Action Lawsuit Against Carmel

Lindsey Erdody for www.theindianalawyer.com

A U.S. district court judge has dismissed a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the city of Carmel for its enforcement of a local traffic ordinance.

Attorney Edward Bielski, president of Bielski Law LLC and former partner of Stewart & Irwin PC filed the lawsuit against the city at the end of last year alleging the city knowingly enforced an illegal traffic ordinance and wrongly collected money from citations “to maximize city revenue.”

The lawsuit named 18 plaintiffs, of which only two were Carmel residents. All had been cited under Carmel’s local traffic ordinance, which was deemed invalid by the Indiana Court of Appeals in a separate lawsuit last year.

The plaintiffs claimed the illegal citations resulted in higher auto insurance rates and points on their driver’s licenses.

The complaint also said the motorists were given false information regarding their traffic infractions, so they couldn’t properly defend themselves. It also alleged city police had a policy of wrongly ticketing drivers on Interstate 465 and wrongly ticketing drivers for non-moving violations.

Carmel had requested the court dismiss the lawsuit and argued that the “harm” the plaintiffs described would have occurred regardless of how they were cited because all of them admitted to the traffic violations.

In the decision issued Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson agreed that the complaint did not tie the alleged harm to the Carmel defendants, which included Mayor Jim Brainard, Carmel City Council members from 2014 and 2015, Carmel City Court, Carmel City Judge Brian Poindexter, Carmel attorney Doug Haney and Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles superintendent Kent Abernathy.

“We are pleased with this decision that confirms our view that this case was frivolous and needed to be dismissed to preserve justice and the procedures used by many cities and towns across Indiana,” Brainard said in a statement sent to IBJ.

Since initially filing the lawsuit in December, Bielski amended the complaint several times and repeatedly stated that “discovery will show” the claims to be true.

Magnus-Stinson ruled that the claims were “too speculative.”

“… These allegations all turn wholly on what plaintiffs think they will learn through discovery, and not on what plaintiffs already know to be true,” Magnus-Stinson wrote.

The issue stems from the city’s previous traffic ordinance that was found to violate the state’s Home Rule act because it duplicated state law. The Indiana Court of Appeals decided that case Dec. 11, and the city later repealed the ordinance in question.

That lawsuit had been filed by Jason Maraman, who had been pulled over and cited for driving 30 mph in a construction zone with a 20 mph speed limit .

Maraman is still pursuing another federal lawsuit against the city in which he accuses a Carmel police officer of giving false testimony and targeting his vehicle for having an out-of-county license plate. He also accuses the officer of inappropriately attempting to speak with a judge during a recess in one of the previous hearings.

In her ruling, Magnus-Stinson accuses the plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit of trying to “piggyback onto Mr. Maraman’s success,” but because the traffic ordinance wasn’t deemed invalid at the time they received their tickets, the issue doesn’t apply.

Carmel had also requested sanctions against Bielski and requested that he be ordered to pay all or at least a significant portion of the city’s legal fees.

The judge denied the request, saying sanctions weren’t warranted, but did note concerns with how the case was handled.

“The Court is disturbed by Plaintiffs’ scattershot approach to this litigation, as demonstrated by the fact that Plaintiffs amended their complaint three times in three months,” Magnus-Stinson wrote.

Proposal Pushes To Exempt Hoosiers With SMI From Death Penalty

OCTOBER 7TH, 2016

BRITNEY TAYLOR INDIANA

 A Hoosier state organization announces a proposal aimed to help clear people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) from the death penalty.

The Hoosier Alliance for Serious Mental Illness Exemption (HASMIE) says the initiative would define five specific disorders for this exemption. To be exempt, the person must have had symptoms of SMI when they committed the crime.

This proposal would not allow people with SMI to use ‘not guilty by reason of insanity’, but they would be found guilty and sentenced to life without parole. That would be in place of the death penalty.

Attached is a news release introducing HASMIE – the Hoosier Alliance for Severe Mental Illness Exemption. HASMIE is a new initiative working towards getting an exemption from the death penalty for people who have Severe Mental Illness. Legislation for this cause will be filed with the General Assembly for its 2017 session.

Serious mental illness is defined as one or more of the following specific disorders:

– Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders.
– Bipolar disorder.
– Major depressive disorder.
– Delusional disorder.
– Post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Juvenile Arrested After Allegedly Shooting BB Gun at Fall Festival

OCTOBER 7TH, 2016

MATT PEAK EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

 Evansville police arrest a juvenile they say shot someone with a BB gun at the Fall Festival.

Above is a photo of the gun police say was used.

Around 8 o’clock Thursday night, officers approached a group of juveniles who were causing a disturbance at Fall Fest, but they all took off running.

A short time later, police say some of the teens came back and one fired a carbon dioxide powered BB gun into a crowd.

One person was hit in the leg.

Officers had to chase the suspect through the crowd, but eventually arrested him and took him into custody.

Police say the BB gun looked just like a real gun and had no markings on it to indicate that it was not real.

He is charged with criminal recklessness, resisting and disorderly conduct.

If anyone has further knowledge about this crime, they are asked to call the Evansville Police Department at 436-7979 or theWeTip line at 1-800-78-CRIME.

University of Southern Indiana Volleyball suffered a 25-14, 25-14, 25-19 Great Lakes Valley Conference loss to No. 13 Lewis University Saturday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center.

USI (8-10, 3-6 GLVC) jumped out to an early three-point lead in the opening set, but the Flyers answered moments later with a 7-0 run to take a commanding 16-10 lead. The Flyers, who hit .469 in the first frame, ended the set by winning 16 of the final 10 rallies en route to the 11-point win.

Lewis (15-3, 9-0 GLVC) continued its onslaught in the second set, where it hit .349. The Flyers used a pair of 4-0 runs early in the set to build a 13-6 advantage before ending the frame on a 6-1 run for another 11-point win.

USI found itself on the opposite end of a 7-2 run that allowed the Flyers to gain an early 10-5 lead in the third stanza. The Flyers expanded their cushion to as much as 10 points before settling on the six-point win in the clincher.

Junior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) led the Eagles with 19 digs, while sophomore setter Erika Peoples (Bloomington, Illinois) had 12 assists and 10 digs.

As a team, the Eagles were limited to 29 kills and a .074 attacking percentage, while the Flyers racked up 48 kills and a .374 attacking percentage.

USI returns to action Tuesday at 6 p.m. when it hosts Kentucky State University to wrap up its six-match homestand at the PAC. The Eagles learn their Midwest Region Crossover slate either late Sunday night or early Monday. The Midwest Region Crossover is October 14-15 in Aurora, Illinois.
