My Country 1220 AM at CMA Awards
Southern Indiana will be represented at the CMA Awards in Nashville tonight — MY COUNTRY 1220 AM will be on the red carpet interviewing country artists at the 48th Annual CMA Awards tonight and Bedford native and emerging country artist Clayton Anderson will appear with Natalie Stovall on the red carpet.
A member of the CMA since 2012, 1220 AM WSLM has attended several CMA events including the week long CMA Music Fest in June.
“This is my first CMA Awards show,” said station owner Becky White. “I can’t wait to see the show and be part of this and give our listeners a behind-the-scenes look at Nashville.”
Anderson moved from Bedford to Nashville three years ago and has been on the road since touring and performing for fans.
“I didn’t want to be a grumpy old man saying ‘what if’, ” Anderson told Stovall. “We are going to stay poor and humble waiting for our big break.”
Anderson and his band are taking small steps to success.
The show will air beginning at 7 p.m. on ABC. Country superstars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood preside over the evening.
The CMA Awards nominees and winners are determined by the more than 6,300 industry professional members of CMA, which when established in 1958 became the first trade organization formed to promote an individual genre of music. The first CMA Awards Banquet and Show was held in 1967.
Performers include Ariana Grande, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Florida Georgia LIne, George Strait, Jason Aldean, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan, Meghan Trainor, Miranda Lambert, The Band Perry and Tim McGraw.
State Parks Close on Nov. 17, 18 and Dec. 1, 2 for Deer Hunts
Spring Mill State Park along with 17 other state parks will close temporarily to allow for controlled deer reductions in the coming weeks.
The dates for the temporary closings are Nov. 17 and 18, and Dec. 1 and 2.
The state parks affected are Brown County, Chain O’Lakes, Charlestown, Clifty Falls, Fort Harrison, Harmonie, Indiana Dunes, Lincoln, McCormick’s Creek, Ouabache, Pokagon, Potato Creek, Prophetstown, Shakamak, Spring Mill, Summit Lake, Tippecanoe River and Whitewater Memorial.
These state parks will close to the general public the evening before each of the two efforts and reopen the morning after each two-day reduction.
Only individual hunters drawn last September and those hunters they listed on their applications may participate at Brown County, Chain O’Lakes, Charlestown, Clifty Falls, Harmonie, Lincoln, McCormick’s Creek, Ouabache, Pokagon, Potato Creek, Prophetstown, Shakamak, Summit Lake, Tippecanoe River and Whitewater Memorial.
There will be no standby drawings at those parks.
For Fort Harrison (an archery hunt) and Indiana Dunes and Spring Mill (both are firearms hunts), a public standby drawing to fill spots left vacant will take place on property each morning of the reduction.
Indiana Dunes State Park will conduct daily standby drawings at 8 a.m. CST. Potential standby participants can apply on site between 7 and 7:45 a.m. CST but cannot enter the park before 7 a.m. CST.
Spring Mill and Fort Harrison will conduct daily standby drawings at 8:30 a.m. EST. Potential standby participants can apply onsite between 7:30 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. EST but cannot enter the park before 7:30 a.m.
Eligibility for daily onsite standby drawings is limited to Indiana residents who are 18 years of age by Nov. 17, and have any valid license to take deer in Indiana.
Indiana residents who possess an Indiana lifetime license to take deer are also eligible. Participants must wear a hunter orange hat or cap and vest, coat, jacket or coveralls at all times while on the property.
Applications can include up to three individuals. The number of participants drawn will be based on the number of unclaimed spots for each day; it is not a first-come, first-served process. The need for stand-in hunters tends to increase with each hunt day.
Questions about participating in the standby drawings should be directed to the property of interest.
DNR biologists evaluate which parks require a reduction each year based on habitat recovery and previous harvest rates at each park. The state parks are home to more than 32 state-endangered plants and numerous significant natural communities. The reductions help control browsing by deer to a level that helps maintain habitat throughout the state parks for all plants and animals.
Information on 2015 state park deer reductions, including online applications, will be available next summer at dnr.IN.gov/fishwild. The application deadline is usually the end of August.
A report on the 2013 reductions can be found at this link.

Purdue has now won 24 straight exhibition games and is 19-0 under head coach Matt Painter in exhibition contests.
The Boilermakers staked California (Pa.) an early 5-0 lead, but then embarked on a 35-4 run over 10-plus minutes to grab a 35-9 advantage with 7:34 to play. After starting just 2-of-6 from the field, Purdue made its next eight shots and would finish the first half 21-of-34 (.618) from the field en route to a 50-22 halftime lead.
After the Vulcans scored the opening basket of the second half, the Boilermakers then went on a 9-0 run to grab a 59-24 lead with 17:26 to play. The lead would stay above 30 the rest of the game and the Boilermakers would take their largest lead of the game at 85-43 with 3:51 to play.
Purdue finished the game shooting 34-of-63 (.540) from the field, 7-of-20 (.350) from three-point range and just 14-of-26 (.538) from the free throw line. Purdue outrebounded the Vulcans, 49-37, and had 22 assists (on 34 field goals) against just 10 turnovers.
California (Pa.) shot 19-of-66 (.288) from the field, 7-of-28 (.250) from three-point range and 7-of-11 (.636) from the free throw line. The Vulcans were guilty of 16 turnovers, 12 of which were Purdue steals, which helped the Boilermakers to an 18-0 advantage in fast-break points.
Hammons had an efficient game, scoring 15 points with five rebounds and five blocked shots in just 17 minutes. Rapheal Davis scored 11 points with three rebounds in 14 minutes, while Bryson Scott had 10 points, four assists, and three steals. Isaac Haas was the last player in double figures with 10 points, four rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes. P.J. Thompson led Purdue in assists with five.
Haas and Hammons combined for 25 points, nine rebounds and seven blocked shots in 35 minutes, while going 12-of-14 from the field.
