“BACKSIDE LIL” SELECTED AS RACE TRACK ANALYSTS FOR CITY COUNTY OBSERVER

“BACKSIDE LIL”  SELECTED AS RACE TRACK ANALYSTS FOR CITY COUNTY OBSERVER

I’m glad to be back in Southern Indiana after 21 years traveling the country side and visiting nearly every horse track in the world.  Although I can speak five (9) languages fluently, my favorite language is good ole “KENTUCKY TWANG”. All I can say about myself is, I was born, highly educated (7 college degrees) and presently living! I just can’t wait for the live meet at Ellis Park to begin.

Lately I been hanging out and enjoyed connecting with my roots once again. Though I am still grieving about the passing of my 7th husband, oil man, Wolfgang Franz from Germany. Recently, I have rekindled an old flame with my high school sweetheart long time Ellis Park horse owner and trainer Kyle. We parted ways after high school due to my risky enlistment into the CIA. I’m now retired and just accepted a part time race track analyst with the City-County Observer.

Oh, I want to personally thank the City County Observer for allowing me to write Handicapping articles on my predictions on upcoming winners not only at Ellis Park but also at other tracks throughout the country.

I can guarantee that I know all about this subject and if you follow my predictions It’s my  hope you will make a little money by doing so  Bottom line there are no guarantee that you will be able win a bunch of money by doing so.  Oh, I’m just a cartoon character created by the CCO so they can bring little more humor and interest for their readership.  The handicapping of the races will be done by knowledgeable people.  So sit back and enjoy and lets have fun at the races!

Until next time, don’t take any wooden nickels! I’m on my way to give a lecture at Keeneland Race Track on “Handicapping of Races”!

Amore!

Supreme Court: City’s No-Smoking Ordinance Does Not Violate State Constitution

0

The Indiana Supreme Court upheld the city of Indianapolis’ no-smoking ordinance in a ruling Monday, saying it does not violate the Equal Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article I, Section 23 of the Indiana Constitution.

In 2012, Indianapolis’ no-smoking ordinance was amended, removing an exemption for bars and taverns, but exempting businesses licensed as satellite gambling facilities. Indianapolis bar Whistle Stop Inn sued, claiming the ordinance violated the Equal Privileges and Immunities Clause because it applied to bars but not to satellite gambling facilities. Hoosier Park stepped in as a defendant and filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted by the trial court.

The Court of Appeals overturned the trial court, saying it did violate the equal privileges clause and severed the satellite facility exemption, giving the rest of the ordinance its intended effect.

The Supreme Court said the ordinance meets the two-prong test for determining a statute’s validity set in Collins v. Day, 644 N.E.2d 72, 80 (Ind. 1994.)

The first Collins prong is “the disparate treatment accorded by the legislation must be reasonably related to inherent characteristics which distinguish the unequally treated classes.” The exemption says the satellite facility must include a description of the heating and air conditioning units, smoke removal equipment and other devices, and Whistle Stop said this was not an inherent difference. However, the Supreme Court said it was, because without providing this description, the facility could not be licensed as a satellite gambling facility.

The Supreme Court also said that an ordinance does not have to identify all distinguishing characteristics of each class and the reason for the distinctions when passing class-creating ordinances.

The second prong of the Collins test is preferential treatment must be uniformly applicable and equally available to all persons similarly situated. The restaurants and bars are not similarly situated with gambling facilities, the Supreme Court said. They are separate businesses that provide separate services and have separate licensing requirements.

The ordinance also does not violate solely economic rationales, as Whistle Stop claimed, though this shouldn’t matter, Justice Brent Dickson wrote. Ordinances like this focus on the treatment the ordinance accords, not the reasons why. Even so, the reason for the ordinance is to protect the health of the public, not for anything economic.

YESTERYEAR: Nixon Visits Evansville

0

Less than a month before the 1956 presidential election, Vice-President Richard M. Nixon visited Evansville to boost support for President Dwight Eisenhower, who was trailing his Democratic opponent, Adlai Stevenson, in the polls. After a press conference at the airport, Nixon’s motorcade headed to Evansville College, where the Second Lady, Pat Nixon, accepted a volume of poetry from E. A. Richardson (right), Indiana’s Poet Laureate and an Evansville resident. The Vice-President then proceeded to the Coliseum, where he addressed an audience of 5,000 before leaving Evansville.

EVANSVILLE CELEBRATES FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF FORD CENTER WITH CARRIE UNDERWOOD CONCERT

EVANSVILLE CELEBRATES FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF FORD CENTER WITH CARRIE UNDERWOOD CONCERT ON NOVEMBER 11, 2016 CARRIE UNDERWOOD EXTENDS SPECTACULAR TOUR THROUGH FALL 2016.  TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, APRIL 8 AT 10:00 A.M.

Evansville, IN – This November will mark the five year anniversary of Ford Center in downtown Evansville. “This is a grand slam way to celebrate this momentous occasion,” stated Ford Center Executive Director Scott Schoenike. VenuWorks has been working with AEG Live for some time to attract such a prestigious country entertainer as Carrie Underwood for this celebration.

Seven-time Grammy winner and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year nominee Carrie Underwood has just announced The Storyteller Tour- Stories in the Round will extend through the fall including a stop in Evansville, IN. The in-the round arena tour launched to rave reviews in January and has already played sold out shows across the U.S., including a crowd of over 17,000 at Boston’s TD Garden. Carrie recently returned from Europe where she played five shows in five countries, each part of Country to Country Festival (C2C).

“I always love being on the road performing for my fans,” shares Underwood, “but something about this tour feels more magnetic than ever. Having a 360-degree view of the audience gives me the opportunity to connect with more fans and feed off their energy. I can’t wait to continue this tour into the fall!”

Concert review critics have applauded Underwood’s confidence and command over the massive stage that spans the entire length of the arena floor. The Washington Post claimed she’s “at the top of her game,” and the Hampton Daily Press said the show’s presentation is overwhelming, from start to finish- a spectacular sensory overload that had the crowd roaring all night long.” Rollingstonecountry.com praised “the in-the-round setting provides each concertgoer with the best experience possible. Simpler still is the storytelling aspect of the show and country music’s reliance on conveying memorable stories in song.” The Boston Globe stated, Underwood “demonstrated that she now truly can stare unflinchingly into those lights and dominate a stage, with confidence, defiance, and a sense of ownership that have been a treat to watch come to fruition. A rock-solid, deftly sequenced hour-and-45-minute long set, which moved from playful to solemn, smooth to twangy, and from cinematic scope to smaller, intimate moments. The most stunning part of the production however, remains Underwood’s voice, strong and nuanced.”

The North American tour, promoted by AEG Live, will include special guests Easton Corbin and The Swon Brothers. Tickets will be available for The Storyteller Tour beginning Friday, April 8 at 10 a.m. local time at www.aeglive.com American Express Card Members can purchase tickets for the U.S. shows before the general public beginning Monday, April 4th at noon local time through Thursday, April 7th at 10 p.m. local time. For information on fan club and D2C pre-sale opportunities and VIP packages go to www.carrieunderwood.fm.

Carrie will continue a donation of $1 from each ticket sold at the U.S. dates of The Storyteller Tour to be contributed to the C.A.T.S. Foundation to help aid its causes including Checotah, Oklahoma’s education and literacy programs. Established in 2009, the C.A.T.S. (Checotah Animal, Town and School) Foundation helps with general causes, needs and services in the area of Checotah, Oklahoma, Carrie’s hometown, to directly impact the community.
