Traffic Collision Involving E.P.D. Motor Officer – Update

0

At 11:41 am on Tuesday, July 19, 2016, EPD Officer Allen Gansman stopped to assist a stalled motorist on eastbound Highway 66 (Diamond Avenue) approximately 500 feet west of Kratzville Road. The stalled motorist, a Chrysler minivan, was stopped in the right-hand lane of eastbound Diamond.

Officer Gansman activated the emergency lights on his motorcycle and parked on the shoulder of the roadway behind the van. Traffic began to merge from the right lane into the left lane, yielding to the stopped emergency vehicle.

As Officer Gansman began to push the van off the roadway onto the shoulder in order to clear the traffic lane, a Toyota pick-up truck being operated by a seventeen-year-old was traveling eastbound on Highway 66 in the right-hand lane approaching the area where officer Gansman’s vehicle was parked. The truck failed to slow down and move to the opposite lane, yielding to the emergency vehicle as required by law.

As the truck continued eastbound, it drifted off the roadway onto the shoulder, striking the EPD motorcycle causing it to be propelled forward striking officer Gansman. The impact of the motorcycle then drove the officer into the van.

The investigation revealed that the juvenile driver of the truck was texting when the collision occurred. Neither the juvenile nor the driver of the stalled vehicle were injured in the collision, however the juvenile was transported to the hospital to have blood drawn for testing. The driver of the stalled van was also transported to the hospital for evaluation.

Officer Gansman suffered serious injuries including a number of fractures to his legs. He was conscious and able to speak at the scene of the collision. He was transported to Deaconess Hospital for treatment where he has undergone surgery with more scheduled. Officer Gansman has a long recovery ahead of him, but is in good spirits.

The investigation is ongoing and an evaluation is being done to determine the appropriate charges for the juvenile driver. Traffic Collision Involving E.P.D. Motor Officer – Update

 

ERRORS HALT OTTER COMEBACK

0

The Evansville Otters suffered a loss in heartbreaking fashion by a score of 7-6 against the Lake Erie Crushers on Tuesday night at Bosse Field. Errors (4) would prove to be detrimental to the Otters, resulting in multiple extra run opportunities. Erie would jump on the board first following an RBI groundout in the third inning. The Crushers would go on to tack on additional runs in the fourth and sixth to bring the score to 3-0. Evansville would muster a remarkable comeback in the latter half of the sixth. Two Otters would reach base via a walk and a double to set the table for Denzel Richardson, who hammered a missile off the right field wall for a triple. Chris Sweeney would go on to drive in Richardson via a sacrifice fly the next at bat, tying the game in the process. Evansville captured the momentum in the seventh following a titanic solo blast of a homerun off of the bat of John Schultz. Unfortunately, the eighth would prove to be disastrous for the hometown team. Four Crushers’ batters would reach base safely before a decisive three-run double put the game seemingly out of reach at 7-4. However, the Otters would fight back in the eighth thanks to a parade of four singles, which brought Evansville back within striking distance at 7-6. The ninth summarized a night filled with numerous almost shots at victory when Chris Breen launched a high flying line drive to left-center field, with a runner at first, that just barely fell short of being a game winning homerun and into the glove of a Crushers outfielder.

Up next, the Otters will look to rebound against the Crushers tomorrow at home, with first pitch slated for 6:35 pm CDT. Tickets are on sale and may be obtained by calling (812) 435-8686.

         REWARD INCREASED IN SEARCH FOR ANSWERS IN MURDER CASE 
By 44 News Reporter Heather Good Reports.
The family of slain local DJ Shane Breedlove is searching for answers and increasing a reward for information.

A group gathered Tuesday night at the intersection of Washington and Thompson where Breedlove was found dead last year. His mother announced the $15,000 reward has been increased to $40,000.

Derrick Murray, Bobby Michael Handegard and Bobby John Handegard were arrested August 4th and charged with murder. They were later released due to a lack of evidence.

At the remembrance service, people were not shy about their calls for justice.

 

State Revenue Department Bound By 1998 Ruling

0
The Indiana Department of State Revenue should have granted a medical equipment company’s request for a sales tax refund, the Indiana Tax Court ruled, finding the department is bound by its published ruling interpreting the exemption at issue.

Fresenius USA Marketing Inc., a Delaware corporation that sells products such as dialysis machines and blood lines, collected sales tax on the medical equipment and supplies it sold in Indiana to medical clinics that provide dialysis to patients. It then sought a refund with the revenue department in December 2007 for sales tax paid between Jan. 1, 2004, to Oct. 31, 2007. The department denied the refund in 2010, leading to this tax appeal. Both parties filed for summary judgment in 2013.

In 1998, the revenue department interpreted the predecessor to the Durable Medical Equipment Exemption to apply to sales of medical equipment made to health care service providers for treating patients with a prescription. In 2008, the department issued two Revenue Rulings that again exempted those purchases. But the department later revoked those 2008 rulings and replaced them with new ones that changed the interpretation of the Durable Medical Equipment Exemption to exempt only sales made directly to patients with a prescription, according to the court opinion.

Fresenius argued that it’s entitled to the exemption because the department is bound to follow the interpretation of the exemption from the 1998 ruling, which was published in the Indiana Register. Because it was published there, the department is bound by it, despites its claims otherwise, Judge Martha Wentworth wrote in Fresenius USA Marketing, Inc. v. Indiana Department of State Revenue, 49T10-1008-TA-45.

“Fresenius designated evidence demonstrating that its facts are substantially identical to those in the 1998 Ruling. Moreover, the Department did not demonstrate that Fresenius’s factual situation varied in some material respect to the facts set forth in the 1998 Ruling,” she wrote. “Indeed, the Department has stipulated, among other things, that Fresenius has facts identical to the facts in the 1998 Ruling. For example, the parties have stipulated that, like the taxpayer in the 1998 Ruling, Fresenius sold medical equipment and supplies to healthcare service providers to treat patients, that the healthcare service providers used the equipment to treat patients with prescriptions for its use, and that federal law required the equipment to be used by licensed practitioners or under a licensed practitioners’ direction.”

Wentworth granted Fresenius’ motion for summary judgment and ruled against the department. She remanded the matter to the department to grant the refund, with applicable interest, after Fresenius provides the department with verification that it has refunding to its customers the full amount of sales tax it erroneously collected from them during the period at issue.

About Brian Setzer:

Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and 3-time Grammy-award-winner, is a “Musician’s Musician” credited with continually taking chances with innovative and daring musical styles, while single-handedly resurrecting two forgotten genres of music (rockabilly in the ‘80’s and swing in the ’90’s). Along the way, he has scored chart-topping hits, sold 13 million records and received the Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award throughout his decorated career as founder/leader of the Stray Cats, his 19-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra, and as a solo artist. He is consistently cited as one of the world’s greatest living guitarists, and has a best-selling, extensive line of elite Gretsch signature model guitars bearing his name. Brian appeared in the 1987 film, La Bamba, portraying rockabilly pioneer Eddie Cochran. In 2002, Brian earned the privilege of being one of the few musicians to be animated in an episode of “The Simpsons,” alongside Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Tom Petty. That same year, Setzer was personally requested to induct Chet Atkins into the 17th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2014, SETZER received the distinct honor of being asked by the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. to donate a replica of his original 1959 Gretsch 6120 “Stray Cat” guitar, joining an elite collection of musical instruments at the museum including Dizzy Gillespie’s trumpet and John Coltrane’s saxophone.

 

Canada-Based Baked Goods Producer Picks Hendricks County for US Headquarters

1

Brownsburg, Ind. – Weston Foods, a North American producer and marketer of baked goods, announced plans today to locate its new U.S. headquarters in Brownsburg.
“It’s clear that great things happen to states that cut taxes and red tape, just as we have here in Indiana,” said Governor Mike Pence. “Weston Foods is an international company, and could have located its U.S. headquarters anywhere. This company’s decision to locate in the Hoosier state demonstrates that companies choose to grow in business climates designed to support their success. Weston Foods is the latest company to pick Indiana for its headquarters, and we’re happy to welcome the company’s growth and new jobs to the Hoosier state.”

The company will invest $1.6 million to renovate its 20,000-square-foot production facility for Maplehurst Bakeries – a subsidiary of Weston Foods – in Brownsburg to house the parent company’s U.S headquarters. The company’s new U.S. headquarters will complement its global headquarters in Toronto, improve communication between its subsidiaries across the country and provide a centralized location for its U.S leadership when facility upgrades are complete in September. With construction currently underway, renovations at the Brownsburg facility will provide an open-concept office space and make updates to the entire facility, including a new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, meeting spaces and a modernized research and development center.

Weston Foods, which currently employs more than 2,000 associates across the United States, including nearly 500 in Indiana, is currently hiring for procurement, sales, supply chain and operations positions. As part of its growth, the company plans to create up to 15 new high-wage positions by 2018, which are expected to pay average salaries more than 180 percent higher than state’s average wage. Interested applicants may apply online at http://www.westonfoods.ca/yourcareer.php.
“When searching for the ideal place to locate our new U.S. headquarters, Weston Foods considered locations where our company currently runs its bakeries across the country,” said Kevin McDonough, president of Weston Foods North America Frozen. “We chose Indiana for our headquarters because this state’s business climate is ideal for growing and creating new jobs. With the state’s central U.S. location, being based in Indiana allows us to easily oversee our operations across the country.”

Founded in 1882, Weston Foods produces fresh and frozen baked goods through its subsidiaries Maplehurst Bakeries, Interbake Foods, Norse Dairy Systems and ACE Bakery in the United States. The company’s 16 facilities across 13 states produce doughnuts, cakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies, crackers, cones, ice cream novelty products and artisan bread, which are then sold at North American grocery retailers, supermarket chains and food service outlets. In addition to its Brownsburg operations, where the company currently operates seven doughnut production lines serving in-store bakeries and food service distributors, the company also announced plans in 2014 to expand its Maplehurst Bakeries facility in Lebanon, Indiana, where it it runs three cake production lines and is on track to meet its goal of creating 219 jobs at the facility by the end of 2017.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Maplehurt Bakeries, LLC up to $220,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The town of Brownsburg is proposing to offer performance-based tax incentives that will save the company an estimated $104,000 over a five-year period.

“The town is thrilled to see Weston Foods establishing its headquarters in Brownsburg and creating new jobs here,” said Grant Kleinhenz, Brownsburg town manager. “Maplehurst has long been one of our community’s biggest employers and its parent company’s investment here has a major impact on our economy and quality of life.”

Weston Foods is the latest company to announce that it is locating or expanding its headquarters in Indiana, joining companies like Determine, Krone North America, Duramark Technologies, DuCharme, McMillen & Associates, Braden Business Systems, eLuxurySupply.com, Allied Solutions and Precision Products Group. With the growth of companies like Weston Foods, Indiana has added 147,800 new jobs in the last three and a half years.
