‘Spring Aboard’ During Spring Break
Indiana Conservation Officers will be partnering with the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) to encourage boaters to Spring Aboard and enroll in a boater education course. Working in partnership with the states, many on-line course providers will offer incentives or course discounts for students who enroll in or complete a course during the Spring Aboard campaign from April 17-23, 2016..
“An informed and knowledgeable boat operator is much more likely to recognize hazardous conditions on the water and avoid a boating mishapâ€, said Indiana Boating Law Administrator Lt. Kenton Turner. “Classroom courses are offered through Indiana Conservation Officers. Online courses are available 24/7 and provide state specific information needed for your boating location.â€
Forty-nine (49) states and U.S. territories require proof of completion of a boater education course for operators of some powered vessels. For Indiana available courses, visit: (online) https://www.boat-ed.com/indiana/index.html – (Classroom) https://www.register-ed.com/programs/indiana/104-indiana-boater-education/agency:25
For Indiana boating regulations and educational material visit:Â Â http://www.in.gov/dnr/lawenfor/8678.htm

IT’S NOT WHO BUT WHAT By Jim Redwine
IT’S NOT WHO BUT WHAT
Gavel Gamut by Jim Redwine
(Week of 04 April 2016)
All countries are founded on law. A country formed out of a revolution might devolve into a dictatorship. Such a country’s laws might be the changing whims of one person or a cabal. While those laws may be written and published, they are not predictable. Predictability is an essential element if a system of law is to be more than what some powerful person chooses to do.
Franz Kafka’s (1883-1924) protagonist Joseph K in The Trial is an example of a victim of a legal system without predictability.
Other countries formed after revolutions may pass laws that give special status to certain groups based on race, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, political party, philosophy, physical handicap or physical advantage. Such countries may continue on a path of discrimination or they may degenerate into a legal system that not only refuses equal status to all people but may even punish members of certain groups. On the other hand, some countries develop legal systems that evolve toward equal treatment based on behavior instead of class. Or as Sir Henry Maine (1822-1888) put it, societies that progress have systems which evolve from basing decisions on one’s status to allowing everyone to freely enter into contracts.
Predictability and freedom without prejudice for or against any person, group or belief has been the goal of America’s legal system. From the time of our Revolution against Great Britain we have by fits and starts edged toward a system of law where the mighty of the moment have been checked. We have sometimes failed egregiously but we have made great progress.
This struggle to develop a legal system where it only matters what one has or has not done, without regard to one’s status is why we celebrate Law Day each year. President Eisenhower declared a national celebration of the Rule of Law over rule by military might to contrast the United States with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union has dissolved but the world’s need to check aggression with predictable and fair laws is still critical.
On Friday, April 29, 2016 in the courtroom of the Posey Circuit Court in Mt. Vernon, Indiana the Posey County Bar Association will once again join the rest of America in a celebration of what truly makes the United States unique, our system of law. Posey County’s two high schools will once again join the Bar in presenting a Mock Trial and this year the Indiana Court of Appeals will hold an actual Oral Argument on a pending court case during the Law Day event.
Mt. Vernon and North Posey high schools will begin the ceremony with their Mock Trial starting at 8:30 a.m. At 11:00 a.m. the Oral Argument before the Court of Appeals will take place.
The public is encouraged to attend all segments of this free event and is invited to join in America’s celebration of our system of law.

Bats come alive as softball splits DH at Bradley
Aces score 20 runs in two games
PEORIA, Ill. – A total of 20 runs crossed the plate as the University of Evansville softball team split a doubleheader at Bradley on Saturday afternoon.
Evansville (14-16, 2-6 MVC) opened the day with an 11-2 win in six innings before Bradley (10-18, 5-3 MVC) picked up the second game, 13-9.
“I thoughts we did a great job of scoring runs today,†UE head coach Mat Mundell said. “We played great in all aspects in game one. In the second game, we let one inning get away from us. Bradley took advantage and that was the difference.â€
Evansville’s offense came on strong late in Tuesday’s win over UT Martin and kept that momentum going in Peoria. The Aces offense erupted for 11 runs off of 17 hits. Bradley took a 1-0 lead in the first before Evansville took the lead for good in the top of the second. Kristin Koepke hit a 2-run home run to left field, marking the first of her career.
Courtney Land’s RBI single in the third game UE a 3-1 advantage before the Braves saw their second run cross the plate in the bottom of the frame. In the top of the fourth, a Morgan Lambert RBI knock got that run back before the offense scored a total of seven runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Hayli Scott had an RBI double while Olivia Cheatham brought two runs home in the fifth.
In the sixth, Danielle Freeman plated the first run with a single. Morgan Florey’s third hit of the day saw two more score before Susan Norris completed the scoring with a sacrifice fly. Four Aces notched three hits apiece including: Michal Luckett, Land, Florey and Scott. Florey made the start for UE, going the distance in giving up two runs on six hits. She struck out seven.
Bradley scored in each of the first three innings of the second game as they went up by a score of 13-4. After recording a pair of runs in each of the first two innings, the Braves scored nine times in the third, just after Evansville took a 5-4 lead.
Trailing 4-1 entering the frame, Susan Norris got UE within one on a double that scored Kori Keyes and Chandra Parr. Two more scored on a Lambert single. The difference came in Bradley’s half of the third as they plated nine runs on just four hits to open up a 13-5 lead.
The Purple Aces did not give up as they scored two runs in the 5th and 6th innings, including a Norris home run. That is as close as they would get as Bradley hung on for the 13-9 win. Norris had four RBIs in the second game on three hits. Parr also recorded two hits.
On Sunday, the teams will settle the series with a single game at noon.
Strong pitching and hot hitting secure sweep of FGCU
Patrick Schnieders’ complete game and an impressive offensive display on Saturday pushed the University of Evansville baseball team’s winning streak out to four games as the Purple Aces dealt visiting Florida Gulf Coast a pair of losses to secure a three-game sweep at Charles H. Braun Stadium.
“This was a great day for our program, really through all 18 innings,†UE head coach Wes Carroll said. “It started on the mound with Patrick Schnieders, and then Alex Weigand came out and did well battling the conditions and making pitches when we needed him to. Our offense really clicked all day. I think we were able to set the tone on the mound, but really, the team played well in all three aspects of the game all weekend. I feel like things are starting to come together for us at the right time with Valley play starting next week.â€
With the wins, which came in 5-1 and 13-7 fashion, the Aces are 14-11 on the year. FGCU, meanwhile, dropped to 13-14.
Schnieders (3-1), who put together a fourth consecutive quality start, was nothing short of dominant, as he picked up the steam from Connor Strain’s performance a day earlier, to toss nine four-hit innings while allowing just one score and striking out seven.
The junior right-hander was also the recipient of early run support as the Aces pushed across three scores in the opening stanza. Singles from Stewart Nelson and Trey Hair got things started for the Aces before a Boomer Synek triple and Jonathan Ramon sac fly plated a pair to make it 3-0.
Josh Jyawook added another in the fourth after he led off with a single. The senior out of Hoffman Estates, Ill., then went to work on the base paths, stealing both second and third before scoring on a Jeff Christen single.
Synek, who ended 3-for-4 to lead all hitters in the contest, plated another in the fifth, and the Eagles grabbed a consolation score with a Matt Reardon sac fly in the top of the eighth.
While the Aces rode dominant pitching to wins in the first two games of the series, the line-up would do the bulk of the work in the finale as UE touched home 11 times in the first four frames to take control.
After swapping a score over the first two innings, Synek and Ramon each brought home a score to put the Aces ahead in the bottom of the third. Jyawook followed up in the ensuing at-bat with a rocket over the fence in right field to score three more. It was the third home run of the season for the preseason All-Missouri Valley selection, and it sent the game into the fourth inning with the Aces leading 6-1.
The Eagles would reclaim three scores in the ensuing half-inning, but the rally was all for naught as Ramon’s two-run single highlighted another five-run frame for the Aces.
Ramon ended the game 4-for-4 with five runs batted in, and Christen enjoyed a three-hit outing as UE out-hit the visitors from Ft. Myers, Fla., 17-11.
Alex Weigand picked up the win on the mound to improve to 2-1 on the season.
UE will be back in action on Tuesday as the team will hit the road once again for a midweek showdown, this time at Western Kentucky. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
NOTES: This weekend marks the first-ever series between Florida Gulf Coast and Evansville … Eleven different Aces players have hit home runs this season, which is the most since 2001, when 13 players left the park … This weekend marks the second series sweep of the season for the Aces … The first was a three-game sweep of Northern Illinois at Braun Stadium last month … UE is 4-0 against the Atlantic Sun this season … Since 1978, UE is 12-30 against teams that hail from the Sunshine State.
USI BB swept by Ill. Springfield on Saturday
The 30th-ranked University of Southern Indiana baseball team was swept by University of Illinois Springfield, 9-8 and 5-1, Saturday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. USI saw its record fall to 14-10 overall, 3-3 in the GLVC, while Illinois Springfield finished the day 11-10 overall, 4-2 GLVC.
The Screaming Eagles battled from behind during the entirety of the opening game, but lost 9-8 in the end. USI fought back from deficits of 2-0, 5-2, 6-3, and 9-5, before leaving the tying run at third base after senior shortstopKyle Niemeier (Evansville, Indiana) pulled the Eagles to within 9-8 on a three-run triple in the bottom of the ninth.
Niemeier finished the first game with a team-high three RBIs, while senior third baseman Trent Gunn (Tell City, Indiana) and junior designated hitter Cody Montgomery(Shepherdsville, Kentucky) followed with two RBIs each.
On the mound, junior right-hander Colin Nowak (Carol Stream, Illinois) suffered his second defeat of the season. Nowak (2-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks, while striking out five through five innings of work.
Illinois Springfield started game two the same way it started the opener by jumping out to a lead in the first inning. The Stars increased the margin to 5-0 by the middle of the seventh before the Eagles scratched a run across the plate in the bottom of the final frame.
USI got its only run of the game when senior rightfielder Kyle Kempf (Evansville, Indiana) drove in Niemeier with an RBI-single to right center in the seventh.
USI junior right-hander Lucas Barnett (Sellersburg, Indiana) was tagged with the loss in the nightcap. Barnett (4-2) allowed two runs, one earned, on six hits, in five innings of work, while striking out eight batters for the second game in a row.
The Eagles and the Prairie Stars concluded the four-game series Sunday with a noon doubleheader.

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.
