Indiana State Police Superintendent Douglas Carter announced personnel changes that went into effect August 18. Sergeant Chad Dick was transferred from the Public Information Office to the Jasper District and reassigned as a district squad leader. Sgt. Dick applied for the position last month and was selected to fill the position. Sergeant Dick will be responsible for supervising troopers assigned to Dubois and Orange Counties.

Dick is a native of Newton County and a 1992 graduate of South Newton High School. He later attended Vincennes University and Indiana State University before joining the Indiana State Police.

In December 1995, Dick graduated from the Indiana State Police Recruit Academy and was assigned to the Indiana Toll Road where he worked 1 ½ years. He transferred in 1997 to the Jasper District where he primarily patrolled Dubois County. Dick later transferred to the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division in 2005 and enforced commercial vehicle regulations and inspected school buses within the Jasper District.

In August 2007, Dick was promoted to Sergeant to serve as the Public Information Officer for the District.

Chad Dick and his wife, Carie, have been married for 11 years and reside in Dubois County with their nine-year-old daughter and five-year-old son.

GetAttachment-3.aspxNoel is waiting patiently to be the perfect early Christmas present. She just turned one year old. It’s almost as if she knows exactly what her name means, because her favorite toy in the entire Cageless Cat Lounge is a springy Christmas tree that she loves to lay inside of! She was living a tough life as a stray until a very nice man adopted her. But now, that man is being transferred due to his job in the military, and he can no longer keep Noel. It’s only August, but this lovable military pet hopes to have a permanent, loving home that she can get used to in time for the holidays! Noel’s adoption fee is only $30. Come visit her today.

 

EVSC Kicks Off Annual Campaign With Family Night at Romain Stadium

EVSC

 

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation is kicking off its first-ever Annual Campaign this year and the first event tied to the Campaign will be Friday night, with a Warrior Family Night at Harrison High School’s Romain Stadium at 5:45 p.m.

 

Harrison alumni Pat and Ben Shoulders will emcee the event and share with the crowd an easy way to support all the EVSC schools in the Harrison High School district, through the Warrior Family Annual Campaign. The event is designed for all alumni, parents of students, and supporters in the Warrior Family of the Harrison High School attendance district: Harrison High School, Plaza Park International Prep Academy and McGary Middle School, and Caze, Fairlawn, Hebron and Stockwell elementary schools.

 

Warrior fans are encouraged to follow the color theme, “white out,” to “paint” the stands with the color white in support of the home team.

 

“The Warrior Family Night will serve as a great opportunity for Harrison High School and Harrison district alumni to get together to show their support,” said Ben Shoulders. “And, it is a great kick-off event for the Warrior Annual Campaign that will ultimately raise money to support Harrison and its feeder schools to ensure schools are able to offer activities that help students reach their maximum potential.”

 

The annual campaign will be a fundraising event for each high school attendance district that will be conducted each fall in the EVSC.  The campaign will approach alumni, families of students, and supporters of EVSC schools for donations to help support activities of the schools.

 

“The EVSC is proud to offer a wide variety of opportunities for its students to excel in school… and in their futures,” said Pat Shoulders. “Additional funding for these opportunities is often needed and we know that our graduates and families love their alma maters and want to see these things continue for all students. We hope all will consider donating to keep the tradition of opportunities for students alive.”

 

Other annual campaign kick offs will include:

  • September 6: Bear Country Night at Central High School
  • September 13: Husky Nation night at North High School
  • October 18: The Mighty Reitz Nation night at Reitz High School
  • January 31, 2014: Bosse CommUNITY night at Bosse High School

Councilman Al Lindsey Endorses Riley’s Letter and Asks Some Questions of his Own

City Councilman Al Lindsey
City Councilman Al Lindsey

August 22, 2013

Mr. Mayor,

I would like to go on record to support the series of questions and concerns that my fellow member of the Evansville City Council, Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley has asked Mayor Winnecke in the letter she released today.

I would like to further state that I agree with the campaign promises of you made to be both collaborative and transparent if you were elected to be the mayor of Evansville. Well you have been elected and it seems as though you has either forgotten your promises of collaboration and transparency or they were just another promise in the dark. Thus far this administration has been neither collaborative nor transparent with big ticket items like the hotel deal that is being touted now as the best thing for downtown Evansville since sliced bread.

Mr. Mayor, where’s the beef? We have seen pretty pictures and been treated to a power point presentation that you certainly delivered well but there is no business plan in place to back up your claims. You have stated over and over again that there will be 250 jobs at the downtown hotel but the study you paid over $100,000 for says that number is 41. Why have you not addressed this difference? To hold back such information is certainly not transparent. If you just made the number up that is not collaborating with anyone who knows anything about hotels.

Now, I am no rocket scientist but I do have the common sense to know that there is no way a hotel can survive if they have an employee for every room. I do know a little about this new thing called Google and what I found on Google says that the payroll of a hotel is between 30% and 40% of the total amount taken in from renting out rooms. The numbers you and Mr. Huffman use for occupancy and day rates darn near confirm the 41 job number from the Hunden Study perfectly. As job creation is at the top of our list the City Council needs to know this number and believe it. There is one thing this Westside boy does know for certain and that is there is no way there will anywhere close to 250 full time jobs in that hotel.

Councilwoman Riley’s letter is pretty clear in asking why the devil the City is getting into or supporting restaurants, retail shops, and apartments. I would like to know that too.

$37.5 Million is a lot of money Mr. Mayor. At least it is to this westsider who makes a living as a fireman and representing the people of the 6th Ward it is. It may be a pittance to you or your friends on the Redevelopment Commission but to me and my constituents this is a king’s ransom. With the problems we are facing with sewers, roads, sidewalks, and other infrastructure we really do not have $37.5 Million to play games with.

Please take your campaign promises of collaboration and transparency seriously. We cannot afford to have another project end the embarrassing way the Earthcare Energy deal you made in the shadows ended. Would you also please provide this City Council with financial information concerning the hotel project Councilman John Friend asked for the last 3 months so we can start running this city like a business instead of a carnival of errors.

Al Lindsey, City Councilman
6th Ward, Evansville, Indiana

Congressman Joins CCO Editor/Innovation Hub Director in Call for Elimination of Government Red Tape and Regulatory Reform

Joe Wallace, Managing Director, Coachella Valley Innovation Hub

Excerpts from article in the Desert Sun, the Gannett Newspaper that serves California’s Coachella Valley (greater Palm Springs):

“The Desert Sun supports the congressional effort to boost renewable energy through tax reform. Rep. Raul Ruiz, a Palm Desert Democrat, joined New Jersey Republican Jon Runyan and Oregon Democrat Earl Blumenauer in a letter urging action by the House Ways and Means Committee, which is leading the effort.”

“a recent Pew Research Center found 72 percent of Americans support major federal tax reform. That includes 75 percent of Republicans and independents and 69 percent of Democrats”

“Joe Wallace, managing director of the Coachella Valley iHub, endorsed the letter, too. But he also said eliminating red tape is a critical element of boosting the valley’s green energy industry.
“I agree,” Ruiz said. “That’s part of creating a pro-business environment that’s a win-win for everybody. We need to reduce duplicative regulations that make no sense.””

“The U.S. tax code is in desperate need of simplification and reform. If that process can help the nation reach its alternative energy goals and strengthen our region’s economy, that would be cause to celebrate.”
