Lou Christie

VICTORY THEATRE-THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 AT 7:00 PM TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, MARCH 25 AT 10 AM

Evansville, IN – The Indiana Section of the American Water Works Association will host their annual Benefit Concert, one of the most anticipated events of the year, on September 22nd at The Victory Theatre. This year’s event features two dynamic musical groups of the sixties on one stage, one night!

Combining the best of folk music and rock and roll, with a touch of country, The Lovin’ Spoonful gave us hits such as “Do You Believe in Magic,” “Daydream,” “You Didn’t Have to be So Nice,” and the classic anthem for a hot July evening, “Summer in the City.” And…his first million-selling song, “The Gypsy Cried,” transformed choirboy, Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco, into Lou Christie – National Teen Idol! Over the decade of the 1960s, he followed with more amazing hits: “Two Faces Have I,” “Rhapsody in the Rain,” “I’m Gonna Make You Mine,” and “Lightnin’ Strikes.” Lou Christie’s stratospheric falsetto keeps on striking, again, and again, and again! You don’t want to miss this fantastic evening of pure nostalgia

AG Zoeller warns political campaigns against robocalling 

0

AG’s Office enforces telephone privacy; will take quick action against violators 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller today warned political campaigns to adhere to state telephone privacy laws and refrain from robocalling residents leading up to the 2016 Primary Election on May 3 and the General Election on Nov. 8.

Zoeller’s office enforces the state’s telephone privacy laws and investigates complaints about robocalls and other unwanted calls. His office received nearly 14,000 complaints about unwanted calls in 2015, a majority of which were about robocalls.

Zoeller sent a letter to the state party chairs of the Indiana Democratic Party, Indiana Republican Party and the Libertarian Party of Indiana as well as to the national party chairs, urging them to remind all campaigns operating in Indiana that they should not illegally robocall Hoosiers. Zoeller also created a guide that campaigns can utilize to ensure they follow Indiana’s laws aimed at protecting the public from unwanted and intrusive phone solicitations.

“Although automated calls are legal in some states, Indiana through its Legislature has chosen to adopt one of the strictest telephone privacy laws possible,” Zoeller said. “If your campaign gives the OK to blast out robocalls to Hoosiers, you are disregarding our state law, and my office will take swift action to bring you before court to face public scrutiny.”

Indiana’s Auto Dialer law, 24-5-14-5(b), restricts the use of technology that automatically dials residential phone numbers and plays prerecorded messages, also called robocalls. The penalty for violating the Indiana Auto Dialer law is up to $5,000 per call. Zoeller said his office will not hesitate to go to court to seek enforcement action against those who violate Indiana’s statute.

Zoeller advised campaigns to also share this information with hired outside consultants who work in multiple states and might not be familiar with Indiana’s strict telephone privacy laws.

If campaigns want to play a prerecorded message, a live operator must first have initiated the call and received the recipient’s permission, either by a prerecorded request to leave a message or the recipient must have previously opted into receiving such calls.

If an individual does not want to receive automated political voice mails, they should make it clear in their voice mail or answering machine prompt that they only wish to receive the name and number of the person calling. When a voice mail prompt invites a message to be left, it provides permission for a prerecorded message to be left.

Campaigns and political groups are allowed to make traditional “live” calls, even to numbers registered on the Do Not Call list, as long as the calls are not sales calls.

Zoeller said if someone receives an unwanted live campaign call, simply ask to be removed from the caller’s list. To block general telemarketing calls, sign up for the Do Not Call list at www.IndianaConsumer.com or by calling 1.888.834.9969.

Members of the public can also utilize this call-blocking reference sheet for additional call-blocking applications.

Indiana residents who receive a political robocall or any other unwanted call can file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office by visiting www.IndianaConsumer.com or calling 1.888.834.9969.

Political Robocalls Banned In Indiana

As election season in Indiana heats up, Attorney General Greg Zoeller wants to remind you that it is illegal for political campaigns to blast you with pre-recorded messages or “robocalls” over the phone.

Indiana’s Auto Dialer law restricts the use of technology that automatically dials residential phone numbers and plays prerecorded messages. The penalty for violating the Indiana Auto Dialer law is up to $5,000 per call.

Here are quick tips about what types of political calls are and are not allowed:

  • Political campaigns cannot robocall Hoosiers.
  • If campaigns want to play a prerecorded message, a live operator must make the call and receive your permission, either by a prerecorded request to leave a message or if you have previously opted into receiving such calls.
  • Campaigns and political groups are allowed to make traditional “live” calls, even to numbers registered on the Do Not Call list, as long as the calls are not sales calls.

If you do not want to receive automated political voice mails, make it clear in your voice mail or answering machine prompt that you only wish to receive the name and number of the person calling.

If you receive an unwanted live campaign call, simply ask to be removed from the caller’s list. To block general telemarketing calls, sign up for the Do Not Call list at www.IndianaConsumer.com or by calling 1.888.834.9969.

Zoeller warned campaigns that his office will prosecute any violators of the robocalling ban.

He urges Hoosiers to file a complaint with his office if they receive a political robocall by visiting www.IndianaConsumer.com or calling 1.888.834.9969.

IS IT TRUE we read a well written, detailed and interesting article in Sundays Evansville Courier and Press did on  our local Hospitals building spree?  …this article give a lot attention to the future expansion efforts of St. Mary’s and Deaconess hospital facilities and how they are looking for ways to lower costs of services?  …we are surprised that  this article didn’t make any reference concerning the excessive annual salaries that both CEOs of St. Mary’s and Deaconess hospitals make each year?

IS IT TRUE were hear that the owners of  the new Evansville Hockey team entertained a past coach of the Evansville IceMen during the last couple of days?  …we look forward to the local sports writers to give us an reason on why did the owners of the new Evansville Ice Hockey team invite a past coach of the Evansville IceMen to Evansville?

IS IT TRUE CCO poster Joe Wallace said: “Does anyone think that $20,000 health insurance in a country with a per capita income of $28,011 is sustainable? Even when compared with the median family income of $53,000 for the nation ($42,000 in Evansville) this is an insane level of expense. This cannot continue”?

IS IT TRUE we hear our readers strongly disagree with the decision of the Mayor and City Council giving the Developer of the Downtown Hotel over $20 million dollars without having ZERO ownership?  …we now  would like to know who are the individuals that are going to benefit from this $20 million gift from the taxpayers of this community?

IS IT TRUE we wonder if you are aware that City-County Officials have discreetly increased our property tax assessment over the last several years which in turn have increased our property taxes?

IS IT TRUE we are pleased that you agree that the Mayor and the 2015 City Council shouldn’t have committed $57 million dollars to the I U Medical School without the local taxpayers having any ownership in this project when it is finished?  …we would like to know who are the individuals that are going to benefit from this $57 million gift from the taxpayers of this community?

IS IT TRUE we hear that a candidate for a Vanderburgh County office may have some legal issues concerning the collections of past personal debts?

Candidate Ann Ennis Offers Representation Pledge

Candidate Ann Ennis Offers Representation Pledge

Ann Ennis, Republican candidate for State Representative, presented a pledge of representation March 19 to residents of Indiana District 64.  The pledge was read at the Tea Party Patriots Legislative Meeting in Evansville this afternoon.

In it, she pledges to attend all five district county council, county commission, soil and water and school district meetings at least quarterly during her term.

“A representative’s main obligation is to represent the interests of the district she serves,” Ennis said.  “Out-of-state or even Indianapolis-based interests are not necessarily addressing local needs.  As state rep, I will meet regularly with district county and school officials to assure Indy hears our reality.”

Ennis said she has been surprised to hear during her travel throughout the district, which covers all or parts of Gibson, Knox, Pike, Posey and Vanderburgh counties, that state legislators do not regularly confer with local elected officials before or during session.

“I heard recently that in 2014 HB 1006 Criminal Code Revision includes mandates that time served less than x-days for various felonies was then to be served in the county of prosecution.  News noted the savings to state prisons, but overlooked was that according to me sources, no monies from the state came with this influx of offenders.”

The commissioner who first shared the story with Ennis noted that he had no calls from any state representative about the law’s effect.

Her experience has been that state representatives do not regularly consult with elected school boards or professional educators when considering new state-mandates in K-12 schools, either.  “Centralized, big government direction is how we got into the ISTEP testing mess.  Centralized, big government direction is not going to get our local schools the help they need to teach,” she said.  “No one making the rules is talking to the educators in our communities.”

With five counties, and seven public school districts, including commissioners and councils and soil and water conservation to represent, Ennis calculates that is 88 meetings in the course of a 52-week year.  “That is easily manageable.  More grassroots direction has to be given to Indy,”

Ennis said. “It is absolutely essential to make noise for the district.  That is a representative’s duty.  Counties and schools cannot take any more fiscal pressure from the General Assembly without having their voices heard.”

A copy of the pledge is posted on Ennis’ campaign committee Facebook:  www.facebook.com/FriendsOfAnnEnnis and this week is being mailed to each county commission and school board in the district.

Ennis is a lifetime resident of District 64 with 30 years’ experience in civic leadership, including serving as Executive Director of Keep Evansville Beautiful (Evansville), and executive fund development positions with Habitat of Evansville, Ruth’s House (substance abuse recovery) and the Public Education Foundation of Evansville. She has been an officer in her family’s coal and oil exploration contracting firm, and worked in finance and media marketing.

IceMen Stun Cyclones in Comeback Shootout Win

IceMen Stun Cyclones in Comeback Shootout Win

(Evansville scores twice in final seven minutes to force overtime, beats Cincinnati in shootout.

EVANSVILLE, IN – The Evansville IceMen scored two goals in the final seven minutes of regulation Sunday to force overtime, before beating the Cincinnati Cyclones 6-5 in a shootout at the Ford Center.

The Cyclones scored the first goal in a back-and-forth first period when Tommy Mele buried a rebound into the top shelf over IceMen goalie Scott Greenham six minutes into the game. Andrew Harrison tied the score for Evansville when he snuck the puck past the right pad of Cincinnati goaltender Andy Iles off of a centering pass from Matthew Zay behind the net.

The IceMen took the lead 1:01 after Harrison’s goal, as Alex Wideman through a centering pass off the skate of Ryan Penny, who was crashing the net. Cincinnati evened the score at 2-2, when Nick Huard stick-handled around an Evansville defenseman and through a pass to the net that caught the stick of Christiaan Minella before deflecting in past Greenham.

Cincinnati took its second lead of the game early in the middle period, when Huard set up Brett Wysopal with a backdoor pass on a power play and Wysopal flipped the shot behind Greenham 1:17 into the frame. Colin Mulvey rifled a shot into the net from high in the slot on a transition rush to make it 4-2 in favor of the Cyclones at 4:24.

Late in the period, Sebastian Strandberg carried the puck the full length of the ice and made a highlight reel move around the Cyclones defenseman and then Iles to cut the IceMen deficit to one heading into the second intermission.

An early power play goal from Jack Downing gave the Cyclones a 5-3 lead just 21 seconds into the third period. But the IceMen scratched and clawed to tie the game with two goals in the final seven minutes of play. Curtis Leonard picked off a Cincinnati clearing attempt and fired a wrist shot past Iles with 6:46 left for his first professional goal to bring the IceMen within one. Wideman scored the equalizer with 4:33 to go, when he chipped in a setup pass from Nathan Moon, as Evansville battled back to force overtime.

After a scoreless extra period, Wideman and Tyson Fawcett both scored in the shootout, and Greenham stopped Mulvey and Zach Budish to steal the win for the IceMen.

The IceMen hit the road this week for three games in four days. Evansville first faces the Missouri Mavericks at 7:05pm CST Wednesday at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena. The IceMen then head to Moline, IL for the final meeting with the Quad City Mallards at 7:05pm CST Friday at iWireless Center.
