Multiple commands were given by officers for Peek to place the weapon on the ground, to which he refused to do. Peek then raised the gun, pointing it directly at Stivers.

Salem Falls, WW Bounces Medora To Stay in Sectional

0

The 41st Indiana Girls Sectional tournament opened last night around the WSLM listening area and dealt an end to one county team while sending another on to the semi-final round on Friday night.

The Salem Lady Lions opened play first on Tuesday night against the Silver Creek Lady Dragons.

The Lions (12-10) going into last night’s game against Mid-Southern Conference foe Silver Creek had high hopes. They had just fought the Dragons on their home court on January 9 and left with a one point victory, 38-37.

Last night, the Dragons held the Lions to 18 points through three quarters and hit important free throws in the fourth quarter. The difference, though, came on the boards.

Silver Creek out-rebounded the Lions 37-20 in the 43-32 victory. The Dragons had eight rebounds on the offensive end.

Silver Creek 7 12 14 10 43
Salem 7 6 5 14 32

As a result, Silver Creek (9-14) will face off with Corydon Central (10-12) in Friday’s first semifinal.

Cordyon won 68-64 in Sellersburg on Dec. 15, but Corydon enters the contest on a nine-game losing streak.

In the Borden sectional, the West Washington Lady Senators dominated the Medora Lady Hornets, 77-35.

West Washington 21 22 22 12 77
Medora 9 4 12 10 35

The Senators met up with Medora back on Dec. 5 and gave them a 95-29 shellacking.

The Senators (11-12) will face the Borden Braves (11-9) this Friday night.

House passes Davisson’s bill curbing prescription drug abuse

0

The House of Representatives voted unanimously in support of State Rep. Steve Davisson’s (R-Salem) proposal expanding the use of the INSPECT program to certain healthcare professionals.

 “Increasing the number of healthcare professionals who are allowed to use the INSPECT program will prevent individuals from receiving prescriptions from multiple prescribers and limit the ability to ‘doctor shop,’” Davisson said. “The INSPECT program is one of the most important tools that healthcare professionals and law enforcement possess in curbing prescription drug abuse.”

 The INSPECT system used by healthcare professionals collects and shares data when controlled substances are prescribed and dispensed. If enacted, House Bill (HB) 1278 would allow dentists, physicians, advance practice nurses, physician assistants and podiatrists to check the INSPECT program, and use it as part of the patient’s medical record, before prescribing or issuing refills for Schedule II controlled substances or Schedule III controlled substances with the exception of certain circumstances.

 Davisson’s proposal allows coroners to have access to INSPECT for the purpose of medical death investigations. The legislation also sets prescribing norms and allows medical professional boards to set up a system for investigating potential over prescribers.

 HB 1278 will now move to the Senate for further consideration.

A Tuesday afternoon incident in Huntingburg left a Huntingburg man in critical conditions after officers fired upon him.

At 2:00 P.M. this afternoon, an officer with the Huntingburg Police Department received a message through social media from a male subject, requesting that they meet at League Stadium on the south side of town.

Concerned by the nature of the message, and knowing that the Department had been to recent calls for service with this person, the officer requested that a supervisor go with him to meet him.

After arriving in a parking lot on the east side of League Stadium, officers found the male standing in the middle of the parking lot, holding what appeared to be a revolver.

Multiple commands were given by officers for the male to place the weapon on the ground, to which he refused to do. The male then raised the gun, pointing it directly at an officer. Two officers fired on the subject, striking him multiple times.

Officers immediately requested emergency medical services to tend to the male. He was transported to Memorial Hospital in Jasper and was transferred to St. Mary’s in Evansville, where he remains in serious condition.

Officers on scene were unharmed.

This incident remains under investigation by the Indiana State Police. Names of those involved will be released later pending family notification.
