Fischer experiences Sunday earthquake
Starting off Season Four of INSIDE IU WITH DON FISCHER on WSLM Monday morning, the Hall of Fame broadcaster revealed he was in the San Francisco Earthquake on Sunday morning.
When show host Becky White asked him how he was doing, he answered, “Much better today than I was yesterday,” said Fischer.
Fischer noted he was in Sonoma for a wedding and was awakened by the 6.1 magnitude quake.
“It woke me up out of a dead sleep,” said Fischer. “I woke up at 3:20 in the morning. You just hope it passes. It was an interesting experience to say the least. It was stunning how strong it was. It felt like you were hitting an airport runway, in a very rough landing, for at least 10-15 seconds. That’s what it felt like.”
Fischer said that wasn’t his first earthquake, recalling the quake that hit in Southern Indiana in the early 90s.
“I experienced a shorter version years ago. An earthquake in Indiana…..before 95. There was an earthquake in this area. I was sitting in my living room watching television and it felt like someone had jumped on the porch. Just a second or two,” he said.

Excise Officers Arrest 74 in Bloomington
Indiana State Excise Police officers arrested 74 people on 125 charges in Bloomington this weekend.
Excise officers arrested 60 people for illegal possession or consumption of alcohol. Thirty-one people were cited or arrested on charges related to possessing a false ID. Thirteen minors were charged with making a false statement of age to an employee at a licensed establishment. Two people were also charged with being in a tavern or liquor store.
Ten adults were charged with providing alcohol to minors. Two people were also arrested for theft.
On Thursday night, Peter Ferretti, 24, of Charlotte, N.C., was arrested on preliminary charges of operating while intoxicated and OWI/endangering after officers saw his vehicle hit a curb on Atwater Avenue, then go on top of the curb nearly striking a tree, then return to the road, where the driver failed to signal his lane change.
On Saturday night, Austin Dunn, 20, of Greenwood, Ind., was arrested after he fled from an excise officer at Kilroy’s Sports Bar, where he tried to get in using a false ID. The officers chased Dunn to the alley behind the Monroe County Jail. After arresting Dunn, officers found a pill bottle with a white powdery substance that a preliminary field test indicated was positive for cocaine. Dunn was preliminarily charged with possession of cocaine, resisting law enforcement, illegal consumption of alcohol, false statement of age and possession of false ID.
Two men were also arrested on Saturday night after officers saw them walking with cans of Four Loco near 13th Street and Fess Avenue.
John Flaherty, 18, of Hinsdale, Ill., was jailed on preliminary charges of illegal consumption of alcohol and resisting law enforcement. Sean Flaherty, 18, of Peoria, Ill., was jailed on a preliminary charge of illegal consumption of alcohol after he tested .244% BAC on a portable breath test. Sean Flaherty twice told the officer he was 17 years of age.
Five people were also issued traffic tickets for various infractions, including for open container violations.
“The goal of the State Excise Police this week is to help ensure that students arrive on college campuses across the state safely,” Superintendent Matt Strittmatter said. “Sadly, in recent years, at least one student has lost a life because of the excessive consumption of alcohol. We will work diligently to prevent such tragic losses of life.”
As the enforcement division of the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, the primary mission of the Indiana State Excise Police is to promote public safety by enforcing Indiana’s Alcoholic Beverage Code. While excise officers have the authority to enforce any state law, they focus primarily on alcohol, tobacco and related laws.
All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless, proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Deadline Monday for State Deer Reduction Permits
The deadline for hunters to apply for this year’s state park deer reduction hunts is Monday.
Hunters must apply online by visiting Hunting.IN.gov and clicking on the “Reserved Hunt Info” link. The link also includes additional hunt details. Paper applications are not available.
Two reduction efforts will take place. The first round is Nov. 17-18. The second round is Dec. 1-2.
Deer reduction hunts reduce the ecological damage that deer herds cause in state parks by helping to maintain deer browsing at a sustainable level. Biologists determine which parks require a reduction each year based on plant recovery and previous hunter success.
Properties requiring a reduction in 2014 are:
Firearms-only properties (any firearm legal to take deer in Indiana):
Brown County, Chain O’Lakes, Charlestown, Harmonie, Indiana Dunes, Lincoln, McCormick’s Creek, Ouabache, Pokagon, Potato Creek, Prophetstown, Shakamak, Spring Mill, Summit Lake, Tippecanoe River and Whitewater Memorial state parks.
Archery-only properties (any archery equipment legal to take deer in Indiana):
Fort Harrison and Clifty Falls state parks.
Applicants must be Indiana residents and be 18 years old by Nov. 17, 2014, and possess at least one valid Indiana deer license to apply. Each person may apply only once for each state park deer reduction effort, regardless of primary or buddy status. All applications sharing duplicate names will be disqualified. Designated areas are available for participants with special needs. For details, contact the property of interest before applying.
