HERE COME THE MUMMIES LAUNCH 2013 CRYPTIC TOUR
After an amazing 2012 which saw the groove-tastic ghouls getting funky to the East, West, and down below, Here Come The Mummies are launching the first leg of their 2013 Cryptic Tour. This crew may be ancient, swathed in bandages, and possessed of a foul stench, but Eddie Mummy, Java, K.W. Tut, Mummy Cass, Spaz, The Pole, Midnight, Mummy Rah, and The Flu have traversed the aeons and the continents alike to rock your town.
Here Come the Mummies will perform at the Victory Theatre Friday, April 19, 2013 at 8:00 PM. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 15 at 10:00 AM.
This is not your mama’s standard horror flick soundtrack music – prepare to bathe like the Gods in funky guitar and horn filled dance music that drops like it’s hot.

As percussionist/vocalist Java asserts, “Here Come The Mummies are heading back on the road, so crate up the bananas and prepare the Gatorade I.V. It is going to be messy. After our winter hibernation, we are more excited than Tom Brady on his wedding night to be hitting the stage. We have four months up pent up undead hunger, so bring the tissues ladies … we are going to leave a trail of broken heels and hearts.” Prepare to rock until eternity or at least until the house lights come on.

IS IT TRUE March 7, 2013

The Mole #??
The Mole #??

IS IT TRUE the infamous and lingering Johnson Controls deal shoved through by the Weinzapfel Administration in its last days will be heard by the Indiana Utilities Regulatory Commission (IURC) on March 14th and is referred to as Case number 44295?…this will be the third time the Commission will have heard some version of this deal that keeps being tweaked in hopes that if can just sneak in under the restriction for being approved as something that pays for itself through guaranteed savings? Just as City Councilman John Friend, CPA warned the Evansville City Council last August, Umbaugh would come back with accounting trickery, they have done so?…the first time, they forgot that the project had to save at least 10%?…Umbaugh is also the same outfit trying to get the City of Evansville’s books in balance and were paid about $100,000 for the time they spent trying?…they are also receiving $55,000 for advise on the refinancing of the utility bonds which the Council approved last Monday’s meeting?…we really do trust that this organization will independent in their analysis in spite of their history in the book balancing and getting great contracts from the City of Evansville by both the Winnecke and Weinzapfel Administrations?

IS IT TRUE that the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) has been found in court to have violated public bidding laws for the way they transferred assets to remodel their headquarters without competitive bidding?…back when this was going on the City County Observer had opined that what the EVSC did was SNEGAL (sneaky but legal) as opposed to a violation of public bidding laws?…it seems as though even though care was taken to move property into other entities with perfect timing that the Court of Appeals has decided SNEGAL crossed the line this time?…it will be interesting to see what will be the consequence for this action as the building seems to be done in a quality manner and the price per square foot for the work seemed reasonable at the time?…we suspect slapped hands and maybe a fine will be the consequence?…we hope the Court realizes that any fine will come straight from the operating budget for running the public schools?

IS IT TRUE well placed CCO MOLES that there is a move afoot by a couple of elected officials to arrange a meeting between the City Controller, Russ Lloyd, Jr. and City Council Financial Consultant, David Garrett so they can to sit down together and discuss the issue of the Oct. 2012 Bank Reconciliation report?…if this happens we hope that the Mayor’s Chief of Staff stays at home because he seems to overreact in situations like this and shall causes problems between the above parties?…we hear that the powers that be are trying to set up this meeting on Friday morning of this week?

IS IT TRUE if you think that the October 2012 Bank Reconsolidation has caused major problems between the Winnecke Administration and Evansville City Council just wait till the findings for November and December of 2012 are released?…we hear that Mr. Garrett is presently working on the November 2012 Bank Reconciliation report as we write?

IS IT TRUE that yesterday in Washington DC in the United States Senate, Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky launched an old fashioned filibuster to block the candidacy of the person the Obama Administration put forward as the next Director of the CIA?…the purpose for the filibuster was simply to get high ranking members of the Obama Administration to publicly state that they do not feel empowered to murder US citizens on US soil?…they obstinately refused to simply answer NO to that question?…if the interpretation of the Constitution that these people are putting forth by refusing to answer NO is one that would lead to those who are suspected of crimes being murdered without being charged or convicted, the suspension of habeas corpus laws, and who knows what other 3rd world dictatorial practices?

IS IT TRUE that the world is a little bit better place since the despot Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has died and gone on to join his soul mates Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Pol Pot in death?…if the United States is going to sit by and allow a constitutional interpretation that allows any government to make pre-emptive drone strikes or run black ops on US citizens who are considered by some government tribunal to be a threat the world will be a much darker place?…our country may be transformed from the “leader of the free world” to the “leader of a world without liberty”?

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

Sheriff Logo

Beginning Friday, March 8, The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office will deploy a high-visibility crackdown on impaired and dangerous driving known as Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. The 16-day effort will continue through March 24 – encompassing a number of March sporting events and the St. Patrick’s Day holiday.

Last year, there were 6,264 alcohol-related collisions in Indiana with 97 fatalities. During the month of March, there were 524 alcohol-related collisions. Of these collisions, six fatalities were reported. Just last year on St. Patrick’s Day, there were 33 alcohol-related collisions that occurred in the state of Indiana.

In support of this year’s crackdown, the Sheriff’s Office along with the Evansville Police Department and the Indiana State Police will employ high-visibility efforts that consist of sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols and other methods designed to detect impaired drivers. This weekend’s checkpoint will run from 11:30 p.m. until 2:30 a.m.

The Sheriff’s Office recommends the following easy steps to have a safe and happy March and St. Patrick’s Day:
 Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin.
 Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home.
 If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation to get home safely.
 If you see a drunk driver on the road, contact 911.
 And remember, if you know someone who is about to drive a car or ride a motorcycle while impaired, take the keys and help that person make other arrangements to get to where he or she is going safely.

Central Athletic Secretary Receives EVSC Cause for Applause Award

0

EVSC

Alicia Gooch, Central High School athletic secretary, has been named the recipient of the March 2013 Cause for Applause employee recognition award.

On Jan. 19, Central High School hosted the “Celebrating Our Heritage” event for alumni of Central and current students, families, and past staff. Sponsored by Central and EVSC Foundation, the event featured an alumni reception prior to the basketball game and a Walk of Champions to honor past honors and awards of the school.

Gooch spent countless hours working on the alumni reception – from planning to cleanup. “She was determined to make all of the Central families have a wonderful time,” said nominator Sue Mattingly, secretary to the principal. Mattingly said that Gooch not only brought in her own personal glassware to make the event more elegant, but also designed the flower arrangements, and served as hostess for the event.

Following the reception, Gooch took it upon herself to make sure everything was cleaned up – leaving the Central High School Commons “looking as if there had never been any celebration just a few hours earlier,” Mattingly added. “I cannot even imagine how many hours she gave to the EVSC to make sure this event was a success.”

Gooch has been an employee of the EVSC since 1992.

EVSC Cause for Applause began in November 2012 and Gooch is its fifth recipient. Anyone can nominate an employee of the EVSC for the award. Deadline for nominations is the third Friday of each month. Go to http://www.evscschools.com/community/nominate-evsc-employees-exemplary-work for the nomination form. Paper forms are available at the schools for those without access to the Internet.
