- 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.

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.

EVANSVILLE, IN – 5,062 fans were treated to five goals from the home team Friday in the second to last game at the Ford Center for the Evansville IceMen. Thanks 48 saves from goaltender Scott Greenham and two early third period goals, the IceMen beat the Cincinnati Cyclones 5-3. The IceMen play their final game in Evansville Saturday at 7:15pm.
The IceMen killed off two early penalties in the first period and scored the game’s first goal on a late power play. Rookie defenseman Chris Rumble blasted a one-timer that deflected into the net off of a Cincinnati player in front with 4:28 left in the frame. Greenham made 14 saves in the opening period, including three key stops in the final minute to keep the IceMen in front 1-0.
Evansville jumped out quickly in the second period, when Alex Wideman snuck a rebound past the left pad of Cyclones goalie Andy Iles just 46 into the frame to give the IceMen a 2-0 lead. Wideman forced a Cincinnati turnover a few minutes later to earn his third point of the night, when Jordan Sims snapped a shot under Iles blocker to make it 3-0.
The Cyclones came on strong near the end of the period, scoring three goals in the final four minutes of play to tie the game at the second intermission. First, Nick Huard shoveled the puck past Greenham after the puck caromed out from the back wall late in Cincinnati’s fifth power play. Cody Carlson scored with 1:44 left in the frame to cut the IceMen lead to one, before Huard tallied another goal with three seconds left in the middle period to tie the score at 3-3.
Rumble gave Evansville the lead for good with his second power play goal of the night 2:07 into the third period on a shot from the point. Then Daniel Turgeon set up Andrew Harrison 47 seconds later with a saucer pass through the slot, and Harrison made it 5-3 when he snapped a quick shot past Iles.
Greenham made a season-high 48 saves, including 17 in the final stanza to earn his 11th win of the year, while Iles stopped 20 in the loss. The Cyclones still managed to clinch a playoff spot because the Tulsa Oilers lost in regulation Friday against Quad City, which coincidentally officially eliminated the IceMen from playoff contention.
Saturday, April 2 is the Home Finale at 7:15pm, as the IceMen finish their home schedule against the Tulsa Oilers. The IceMen wrap up the weekend with a quick stop in Fort Wayne at 5pm EST Sunday, April 3, before finishing the season next week with three games in Allen, Texas against the Americans.
