*** ALL THUNDERBOLTS GAMES ARE BROADCAST LIVE ON EVANSVILLE’S WVHI-AM 1330 ***

LIGHTNING BOLTS’ SHOTS: The ThunderBolts are in celebration mode for this Monday! For the first time ever, the ThunderBolts are toasting triumph! The ‘Bolts are savoring the sweet success of victory as a bona fide franchise and enterprise in the elite junior hockey league, the NA3HL. General Manager/Head Coach Scott Fankhouser’s patience, persistence and perseverance are all being rewarded in grand fashion and in grand style and profile following the ‘Bolts brilliant come-from-behind 7-4 triumph Sunday at Point Mallard against the very formidable and redoubtable Ducks hockey club. From the ThunderBolts perspective, it is an absolutely extraordinary way to launch the New Year of 2016 for the City of Evansville’s first-ever elite junior hockey team and the State of Indiana’s only exclusive elite junior hockey club. The fabric, fiber, fortitude and character of this expansion team have never been compromised. The ThunderBolts have always played with heart, soul and total commitment to the city and the state where they play and live since day #1. They have truly earned victory #1. Hail to our ThunderBolts! The best is still to come!!

WIN ONE FOR HISTORY: In achieving their historical first-ever victory, the ThunderBolts were relentless, overcoming three separate one-goal deficits to saddle the high-powered Point Mallard club with its first home defeat of the current campaign. Four consecutive unanswered goals, including a 3-goal third period assault, sparked by Brandon Rozema’s second TBG of the game and climaxed by captain Jon Grimm’s empty net strike almost made the 27-games’ wait worth that wait. Right wing Mike Kelley’s third goal in 3-games late in the second period actually fueled the inferno for the victors, forging a 4-4 deadlock for the alien ice invaders from Evansville. Kelley and Mathieu LaForest each engineered (1-2-3); Grimm (1-1-2). Brandon Bornkamp and Billy Bonser also made key connections while defenseman Brian Crink assisted twice and goaltender Adam Conkling brushed aside 45-shots to preserve victory #1. Crink and defensive comrade Ben Baker each carded masterful +3 performances while Zack Faith, La Forest and Rozema each attained supreme +2 ratings. The ThunderBolts 7-GF and 45-SOG both

represented new team single game bests, eclipsing the previous season-high standards of 5-GF and 44-SOG respectively.

LAST TRIO OF DOZEN: Galvanized and otherwise energized from Sunday’s success abroad, the ThunderBolts hit the road for three more foreign ice excursions for the first full week of the New Year. This Wednesday night, the ‘Bolts travel to St. Louis to rekindle animosities with one of their proximate, nearby archenemies, the Midwest Division pace-setting Jr. Blues. Opening face-off from Affton Arena is set for 7:15 pm with radio broadcast time 6:45 pm on WVHI-AM 1330. Then it’s on to Atlanta for Evansville’s second and final appearance this campaign. The two-game weekend series is on the docket for Friday and Saturday nights at 6:30 pm with the broadcasts set to go at 6:00 pm each night on WVHI-AM 1330. After this week, the ThunderBolts will have played 12-consecutive games on the road with a favorable home slate to await for the duration of the regular season.

COMING SOON TO HOCKEY SWONDER: Following this week’s trio of alien ice invasions on two NA3HL hockey fronts, at long last, the ThunderBolts finally return to the amicable confines of their hockey home of Swonder Ice Arena where they will play host to the St. Louis Jr. Blues on Friday, January 15th and Saturday, January 16th. Game time both nights is 7:30 pm. FAN-FAMILY-FRIENDLY ticket prices from the ThunderBolts. Game tickets are ONLY $ 5 !!!. For more information, visit the ThunderBolts website at www.evvbolts.com.

JONNY B. GOOD: Team captain, Jon Grimm is leading the way in doing it the ThunderBolts way. The local Newburgh product was a supreme catalyst the past weekend in Decatur, artfully authoring 5-points in 2-games on 2(2-3-5) including a key, clutch goal in each game episode. His second goal of the series was the ‘Bolts initial ENG of the season, cementing the historical victory. The talented left wing is presently presiding over a personal 3-game point streak; 3(2-4-6). In his last 15-games; 15(9-12-21); last 10(6-10-16).

KID KELLEY CANNONADE: Freshman elite junior right wing Mike Kelley is coming into his own, operating and orchestrating in a zone of his own. The Fort Wayne native also was the architect of 5-points (2-3-5) in the weekend’s two-game series at Point Mallard. The sharpshooting marksmen is also enjoying 3-game goal and point streaks; last 3-games; 3(3-3-6). In his last 16-games; 16(7-15-22); last 12(6-11-17). He was Sunday’s #2 Star.

THE THERIOT SCENARIO: Standout defenseman Triston Theriot is emerging as the League’s premiere blue line ace with his polished, precision play. Contributing adeptly and adroitly both offensively and defensively, he attained a superlative +4 rating combined through the two-games at Point Mallard the past weekend, including a positive, premium +3 rating the past Saturday night at Point Mallard. On the offensive side, Theriot has ascended to the top of the scoring parade for his club’s blue line brigade with 27(4-12-16) while ranking 4th overall in total team scoring productivity.

BRANDON IN THE BOOKS: Forward Brandon Rozema is becoming a major sparkplug for the true hometown team. The past weekend, the diminutive, dynamic deadeye acted the role of goal-scoring opportunist impeccably. The past weekend at Point Mallard, the hard-working, unrelenting right wing triggered a trio of touch-in-the-clutch snipes, including a pair of electrifying tie-breaking goals (TBG) in Sunday’s victory verdict for his club. Rozema’s second goal of the game Sunday will be forever etched in the ‘Bolts book of history as it proved to be the first-ever GWG in team franchise annals. He was hailed and heralded the game’s #3 Star on Sunday.

THE MATHIEU BREAKTHROUGH: Center/left wing Mathieu LaForest’s indefatigable efforts are earning critical acclaim and rave reviews in recent action for his ‘Bolts squadron. On Sunday, the St. Clair Shores, MI native essayed his first 3-points’ enormous performance of the season with (1-2-3) including a key, clutch first period unassisted GTG. All 3 of his goals have been collected abroad. LaForest was named the game’s #1 Star for ‘Bolts victory #1.

PLUS 3 FOR “BC”: Defenseman Brian Crink enjoyed, perhaps, his best performance of the campaign the past weekend. The rangy 6-2 blue line bulwark was especially effective in his team’s first-ever victory on Sunday. Crink and his defensive partner Ben Baker each registered excellent +3 ratings while the former recorded 2-assists in his

club’s spellbinding and spine-tingling 3-goal third period surge which produced victory #1. Crink and Baker’’s respective +3 ratings equaled the club record for best plus performance by an individual player in a single game.

SPECIAL TEAMS TOTALS: The ThunderBolts power play has been somewhat inconsistent and incongruous in recent action. Through the last 7-games the power play is 1-27 for a proficiency rating of 3.7%. It was 0-6 the past weekend at Point Mallard. Meanwhile, the penalty-killing cast has been encountering vicissitudes as well. The opposition is 5 for the last 11 and 8 for the last 17 against the ThunderBolts shorthand band. Evansville has yet to deliver a SHG thus far this season while allotting 8-SHGA at this stage of the season.

PREMIUM PLUS PLAYERS: The past weekend at Point Mallard, several premium, plus personified player personnel prominently emerged for the ThunderBolts. On Saturday night, the defensive combination of Triston Theriot and Kyle Nikles each achieved stellar +3 ratings while Jon Grimm, Brandon Bornkamp and Mike Kelley each earned solid +2 marks. On Sunday, it was the defensive combination of Brian Crink and Ben Baker each posting +3 masterpieces with Zach Faith, Mathieu LaForest and Brandon Rozema each gaining +2 status.

MAJOR MARQUEE MEN: The ThunderBolts top scoring kingpins at this juncture of the season: 1- Brandon Bornkamp 27(19-15-34); 2- Jon Grimm 27( 12-20-32); 3- Mike Kelley 22(9-16-25); 4 – Triston Theriot 27(4-12- 16); 5- Billy Bonser 24(7-5-12); 6 – Brandon Rozema 24(5-3-8); 7- Mathieu LaForest 23(3-4-7); 8- Brian Crink 27(1-6-7).

FEW FUN FAST FACTS FROM “FIC”: Both the ‘Bolts and Ducks traded 7-4 victory verdicts the past weekend with the ‘Bolts delivering 3-goal third period outbursts in each contest. Evansville has produced four 3-goal periods thus far this season; 2 of those coming in the second period and 2-more in the third stanza. With their team record 45-SOG Sunday at Point Mallard, the ‘Bolts have reached the 40-shots plateau 3-times this season. Their 18-third period SOG Sunday equaled for the third time their second most SOG in one period. Evansville has yet to notch a SHG this season while surrendering 8 of the same. Brandon Rozema joins Brandon Bornkamp (3), Jon Grimm (2) and Billy Bonser (1) in firing multi-goal games this season. Grimm has authored three 3-point games this season. Until the past weekend, Jon Grimm was the lone player to attain a +3 rating in a single game and his came back on opening night, 9/18/15, also against Point Mallard.

Dickey scores 17 in Aces loss at Drake

Women’s Basketball will be back in action next weekend

 Sara Dickey racked up 17 points for the University of Evansville women’s basketball team on Sunday evening, but a balanced attack from Drake rendered her efforts moot as the Purple Aces dropped a 94-52 decision to the host Bulldogs at the Knapp Center.

 

Dickey, who has now notched double-figures in points in all but three games this season, was hounded by the Bulldogs (8-5, 1-1 MVC) for most of the night as she ended 5-of-21 from the field. Erin Sinnott’s night was highlighted by a pair of three-pointers as she finished second on the team with 10 points, and both Sasha Robinson and Peyton Langston chipped in eight apiece. Robinson, who was coming off a career-high-tying 17-point performance two days ago, also led the Aces (1-12, 0-2 MVC) in rebounds with five.

 

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs saw five players reach double-figures as the team shot 62.5% from the field. Lizzie Wendell led the barrage for the Bulldogs with 23, and both Sara Rhine and Maddie Dean added 18. Emma Donohue added 13, and Caitlin Ingle racked up 10 to go along with 14 assists.

 

Dean and Rhine also tied for the game high in boards with 10 each as the Aces were out-rebounded 52-24.

 

UE will be back in action on Friday as they return to the Ford Center to take on Loyola at 7 p.m.

EVANSVILLE, IN – One night after dropping an overtime thriller 4-3 to Missouri, the Evansville IceMen came up short 3-2 in a shootout against the Wichita Thunder Sunday at the Ford Center.

 

Wichita outshot Evansville 9-3 in the first period, and the Thunder capitalized on their second power play of the period to take a 1-0 lead with 1:14 left. Kenton Miller scored the goal from the right circle for the Thunder, who came into the game with the ECHL’s last-ranked power play at 6.7%.

 

The IceMen tied the game when Jordan Sims forced a neutral zone turnover and led Justin MacDonald in on a 2-on-1 with Nathan Moon. MacDonald feathered a saucer pass over a diving Wichita defenseman for Moon, who shot the puck past the glove of Thunder goalie David Shantz at 7:52 of the second period.

 

Late in the second, Wichita’s captain Ian Lowe snuck a shot past IceMen goaltender Christoffer Bengtsberg on the short side from the left circle to put the Thunder in front 2-1 heading into the second intermission.

 

Moon danced out of the corner with the puck and fought his way to the front of the net, before beating Shantz a second time to tie the score 2-2 at 6:42 of the third period and the two teams skated to overtime.

 

After five minutes of 3-on-3 overtime with no scoring, the IceMen went to a shootout for the first time this season. Andy Huff and Lowe each converted on their attempts for the Thunder. Tyson Fawcett scored on his opportunity in the second round of the shootout, but Shantz stopped Alex Guptill and Moon to earn the win.

 

Evansville next travels to Indianapolis January 8-9 for two games against the Indy Fuel. Both games are scheduled for 7:35 EST (6:35 in Evansville). The broadcasts can be found on www.evansvilleicemen.com or ECHL.TV, with coverage starting at 6:20pm. Fans can also catch the game at Bar Louie in Evansville, the official headquarters for IceMen away games.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: SURPRISE-SURPRISE-SURPRISE!

Let’s Fix That Tax Sale: 6th in series by George Lumley
Surprise Surprise Surprise!

“Misinformation” seems to be abundant as I look into the supporting facts for the agreed upon (but not yet public) gifting of the tax delinquent properties to the Brownfields. Oh yes the Brownfields needs a new revenue stream and wants to be the collection agency or vehicle for collecting past due taxes and depositing those dollars into their (land) bank account. In return their private club will take over that function of government, fight blight, and play big brother as to who can buy these properties and what the buyer can do with them. Or if you are one of their special interest they may just give you a property and the cash to develop it.

The well-publicized call to stop the “tax sale” and behind the scene gifting of the properties is in concert with the proposed city gift of $1.7 million out of the Riverboat fund to finance the needed cash flow for the private Brownfields land bank expansion.

One of the supporting statements to promote this is the supposed fact that a huge number (60%) of the tax sale houses return to the tax sale in 3 years without paying any taxes and burdening the public resources.
I have been trying to get a little support for the positive side that if only sixty percent are returning that means 40 percent are being taken care of by private interest. That has not excited anyone but me. I thought maybe if I look at this huge number of properties that are repeat offenders I can find another angle.

The first step was to get a list of the houses that sold at the Commissioners excess property “tax sale” Auction. The “tax sale” is not a simple process and actually consists of two major components: Sale of the tax debt and sale of the property. Local media and many Officials are either confused or like to keep everyone else confused by comingling the 2 major components to create more of that “misinformation” to be distributed. One of the “tax sale” components, the sale of the debt is legally referred to as the “tax sale”.

At this sale the county does not sell the property, they sell the tax debt. The tax sale is simply someone paying the tax bill for the property owner and getting a secured interest in the property. Some properties go to the tax sale often, just as some people wait until the electric is cut off and then pay the reconnection fee. The tax sale is simply a collection vehicle that says to the delinquent owner: someone paid your taxes for you and we are going to give them your property if you do not settle with them. It is a simple debt collection method that has worked well for decades in most states.

The Commissioners excess property “tax” sale is where the actual property is sold if no one (owner or lender) pays the taxes. So within the tax sale process the taxes are paid on all properties except those ending up at Commissioners excess property (tax) sale.

Luckily I went to the Commissioners excess property (tax) sale and still have the information they handed out. Let’s see, what was that huge number of houses to be sold: 59? Yes that’s right. In all of Vanderburgh County the huge number of houses that no one paid the taxes totaled 59. Round that up to sixty and based on prior history that should be about 36 houses (60%) running through multiple times and 24 (40%) making their first appearance. I can simply look up the sales history of these 59 properties and find the 36 houses. Houses that have been cycled through in the past 3 years without payment of taxes. Maybe if I research these I can find a better solution.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise (Gomer Pyle style)!  Those 36 houses cannot be found! They simply did not exist. After searching through each of the fifty nine properties, only eight (8) were properties with structures that sold in this sale that also sold in a previous sale. Now if I had a nickel for every time the Building Commissioner and DMD Director said 60% returned I could buy a soda pop. Looks like a little misinformation. I can only figure that they got this 60% figure when they went to Detroit. Evansville is not Detroit.

Back to the chase. The Brownfield land bank expansion supporters claim that people buy the properties who cannot afford to make repairs and they cycle back through. Let’s see who bought the 8 properties that cycled through and see if they have any resources. The first two, Marvin and Robert might be a little cash short. I do not see where they own other Vanderburgh county properties. They may not have the resources to make the house new again to suit the DMD director’s standards. In the older neighborhoods, I don’t think anyone would have the resources to bring them up to DMD standards unless it would be the taxpayers. The taxpayers, through the DMD, have spent two or three times the finished value to make an up to standards home in the special interest arts district.

Gawww-leee (Pyle Style) it looks like Marvin bought a pot of gold for only $1,700. His beautiful home is the cover photo for this article. Looks like new siding, new roof and replacement windows within the last few years. The electric is even hooked up. I rechecked, yes the commissioners sold it five years earlier and it was being recycled. Interestingly ECHO Housing had owned it nine years earlier. Maybe ECHO and the two owners afterward fit the category of not having the resources to rehab; however, it is clear that someone has sunk a lot of money into this beautiful 2,400 sq ft home and now Marvin for a mere $1,700 owns the best looking property on the street.

Robert’s house looks about average to the other houses on his street. No mansion but what can you expect for $100. Maybe he had lived there as a kid and thought for $100 bucks he would buy it and go back for one last look around. Or if he has the resources to pay rent somewhere maybe he could divert that resource to the house for a couple of months while he lives out of his car and then move into the house. The house has a good roof and couldn’t take much to make it better than many on the street.

Now Loretta, seems to know something about this process. She bought one of the recycled houses for $700 and one of the virgin arrivals for $3000 to add to her rental collection of 24. Looking at the assessed value of all her properties they total almost a million: $918,200 to be exact. I think she has the resources to take care of the properties.

Reyes, picked up a nice little 574 square foot house for $500. Although tiny looking next to the neighboring apartment complex, it did not look much worse than some of the occupied homes in the area. If anyone wanted to redo a house on a budget this would be it.

Andrew picked up one of the recycled houses and one of the new entries. Based on his resume I found on line he should not have any problems. He is one of those terrible out of town buyers, Newburgh, but in the carpentry business.

Angel was a big buyer. I guess after picking up a house that appears to be occupied and is listed as Angel’s address on all his tax statements for a mere $2800 there was money left for some of the other houses. Angel bought two of the recycled houses. I hope he kept his receipt and can return them. These two houses represent not a tax sale problem but a lack of code enforcement and demolition of houses beyond saving. As I pointed out to the County Commissioners, they do not have to offer these properties for sale. No reason to stop the whole sale for two bad apples – just pull those two apples off the market until the garbage is removed.

The last of the great number of returning houses, number eight, is very interesting. It brought a high price for a house returning to tax sale: $2800. Most interesting was the name of the buyer: Donald. No not Donald Trump. I remembered the name from last years “who owns that” video. And also from the list of owners letting property go for back taxes. That is not supposed to happen. The new law bars tax delinquents from making purchases. How did the county let this happen? A little more research and I found the loophole. Donald the Buyer was Donald Jr., the son of Donald the tax delinquent. I visited Donald Jr’s new purchase. Looks like a bargain to me and in much better shape than many on his street.

Looks like the tax sale causes blight about as much as a fan at the race track causes a crash. The non-payment of tax actually gives a new owner the opportunity to take over and improve the property. The problem properties are the blighted ones where someone is paying the taxes while holding the properties in limbo or allowing them to run down to the point of no return.

Another myth busted. There just is not a huge number of tax sale properties causing the blight problem here in Evansville. Where does the City and County get all the misinformation? I would suggest that maybe they should have looked to Indy rather than Detroit for blight solutions. They probably would not have come back with so much “misinformation” about needing to fund the Brownfields land bank expansion. The land bank in Indy did not work well. I think some “misinformation” actually landed the director in prison.
