EVANSVILLE, IN – The IceMen finished their eight seasons in Evansville on Saturday in front of 6,652 fans in the home finale, a 3-2 loss to the Tulsa Oilers at the Ford Center. Fans stayed after the game to give the players a long ovation and take pictures on the ice, while sharing memories from the past eight seasons.

The Oilers struck first, when former IceMen forward Adam Pleskach tipped a centering pass from Phil Brewer past Evansville goaltender Scott Greenham. The IceMen tied the game at 8:01, when Andrew Harrison intercepted a pass and backhanded a shot past Tulsa goalie Jussi Olkinuora from the right circle to tie the score at 1-1. Evansville outshot Tulsa 10-3 in the opening frame.

Pleskach picked up his second goal of the night to give the Oilers their first lead, when he fired a one timer from the right circle that deflected off of Greenham and into the net. Tulsa made it 3-1 on its first power play, when a shot from the point sailed over the IceMen net, ricocheted off the glass behind Greenham, and caromed back over the cage. Brewer shoveled the loose puck into the goal. Tulsa led by that score after two periods.

Evansville cut the Oilers lead to 3-2 in the third period, when Daniel Turgeon scored from the slot seven minutes in on the fifth IceMen power play. The two teams combined for just eight shots in the final period, as Tulsa hung on for the narrow victory. Olkinuora stopped 21 shots in the win, while Greenham made 18 saves in the loss.

The IceMen finish the regular season on the road, starting with a 5pm EST tilt Sunday at Fort Wayne against the Komets. Evansville then travels to Texas next week for games Wednesday, Friday and Saturday against the Allen Americans at 7:05pm each night.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 77 CANDIDATE BRANDON FERGUSON MAKE APPEAL TO VOTERS

STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 77 CANDIDATE BRANDON FERGUSON MAKES APPEAL TO VOTERS

Evansville is about family. Evansville needs a hard working family man as its representative, where souls and not clothes matter. Politics shouldn’t be who you know but what you know. Politics shouldn’t be about how much you raise but how much you’re willing to raise others.

I know some of you don’t know me and there are plenty of my competitors signs already around but I hope you all realize it’s not because I’m not liked or unqualified because the truth is quite the opposite. It’s simply because I am just like you, I am an educated, blue collar worker. I have to work 60 hours a week to provide for my family. I think many of you can appreciate that. I believe this is exactly what we need more of, someone who can understand the everyday struggles and needs of the voters. We can’t elect someone who grew up with a silver spoon and expect that person to know, or understand the difficulties of growing up poor, because the less you have the harder it is.

I am the perfect candidate for Evansville district 77 because I didn’t have ties with the Gail Riecken failed Mayoral campaign,  the Winnecke administration, or any of the city council members. My allegiances are only to the voters. I am not in this for the money, the title, or fame. I don’t plan on becoming a career politician but what I do plan on doing is getting something done, something accomplished, and you better believe if needed I will be the first to stand up and shout for what is right. I do plan on being that voice of the working class that has been ignored way to long.

Evansville is all about family. I’ve met my wife here, I am raising my three children in Evansville. I have bought a home here on the south side. My neighbors welcomed us like family, helped us, and even watched our children. I would be lost without family. I hope you will be willing to open up and get to know me and think of me as family because this is truly that time when someone normal, with common sense has stepped up to fight for the little guy. I know we’ve all asked ourselves, are these folks really.. the best we have to lead our country?

I promise I won’t let you down. I need your help, I’m asking for your vote on May, 3rd .

A message from Sheriff Dave Wedding….
Over the past nine years the 911 Gives Hope Guns and Hoses event has raised over $750,000 to benefit children with disabilities in our community. This phenomenal success could not have been achieved without the overwhelming support of our community.
On behalf of the entire Sheriff’s Office, I wish to thank all of the sheriff’s deputies, confinement officers, police officers, emergency medical service members and firefighters who will participate in the upcoming Guns and Hoses charity boxing event.

Each of these men and women will bravely step into the ring in order to benefit area children. Being a public safety professional requires the acceptance of personal risk and sacrifice for the greater good. Whether they are in or out of the ring, this year’s fighters exemplify this ideal by putting others first. I hope you will join me in cheering these heroes on.

Event Time: Saturday, April 09, 2016 @ 7:00pm
Location: The Ford Center – 1 SE MLK Jr. Blvd Evansville, IN

Interim Appellate Court Clerk Replaces Smith

Interim Appellate Court Clerk Replaces Smith

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

Long-serving Indiana appellate court clerk Kevin S. Smith resigned recently, and former deputy clerk Greg Pachmayr is now serving as interim clerk.

The transition came without announcement, and Smith appears to have stepped down in mid-March. Appellate court opinions last bore Smith’s official clerk stamp on March 16. Subsequent opinions are file stamped with a generic, unsigned seal from the clerk of the Indiana Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and Tax Court.

Smith, who served as clerk since 2006, could not be reached for comment Friday. A source familiar with the situation said Smith had resigned to pursue career opportunities in private practice. He was admitted to practice in 1997 and had a career in private practice prior to his tenure as clerk. Pachmayr was admitted to practice in 2009 and prior to serving as deputy clerk had worked in the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency.

Duties of the clerk include maintaining documents filed in appeals, collecting case filing fees that are deposited in the state general fund, and issuing orders and opinions from the appeals courts. Among other duties, the clerk also maintains the roll of attorneys, collects and distributes attorney licensing fees, and in conjunction with the Board of Law Examiners, twice annually administers the oath of attorneys to new lawyers.

Smith’s resignation comes amid numerous pending departures and changes in the leadership of the Division of State Court administration. The courts announced in February the creation of a new office of judicial administration to be led by a chief administrative officer and a fiscal officer. Friday is the deadline for applications for those positions.

Longtime Division of State Court Administrative Executive Director Lilia Judson is acting as interim CAO and plans to retire after facilitating a transition to the new CAO. Likewise, Friday is the final day for David Remondini, interim executive director of the Division of State Court Administration.

0

St. Mary’s Breast Center and Mobile Digital Mammography are offering free mammograms for those who qualify, thanks to two grants.

Komen For the Cure Foundation, and the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust “Power of  Hope” grant.

Digital pictures can be magnified, adjusted and previewed to see certain areas that regular film cannot. There are fewer retakes and sharper images.

Participants must meet the following criteria to be eligible:

  • You must be between 35 to 40 years old to receive your baseline (or initial) mammogram.
