James Bradley (Brad)  Daugherty, 76, Paoli

0

James Bradley (Brad)  Daugherty, 76, Paoli, IN who Passed February 2, 2024 at the home of his companion, Carolyn Kerby-Jones. Born February 2, 1948, in Bedford, IN.  

He was the son of Samuel Ray Daugherty and Jeanette Campbell Daugherty, both of whom preceded him.  

Brad was preceded in death by an infant: Bradley Shannon. He was also preceded by his brothers: Jack & Melvin Daugherty and two sisters: Geraldine Nodine and Gloria Anderson.

He graduated from Paoli High School in the Class of 1966 and went straight to work.

He retired from Mac Construction and The Operating Engineers 181 of Louisville, KY.  Although, retiring did not slow Brad down at all.  After retiring he started his own business doing excavating and grave digging services as well as hauling various items.  He hauled everything from stinky hog hides to equipment and livestock.

Although Brad was extremely devoted to his work, he also enjoyed taking a break to drive his side-by-side over to Hometown Scoops for some ice cream.

Brad’s greatest passion was his horses.  He was an avid horseman and in his younger years had participated in many parades and trail rides across the state.  Even in his last days he enjoyed talking horses with his fellow horseman. 

Brad was a perfect example of a “Good Ole Boy”.  He was an extremely hard worker and the word “quit” wasn’t even in his vocabulary.  

He lived on the same farm that he grew up on.  

Anyone who called on him for help knew that they could always depend on him and that he would treat them fairly.

Rokita Supports Hoosiers’ Second Amendment Rights 

0
 

Attorney General Todd Rokita is defending Hoosiers’ Second Amendment rights in a legal opinion requested by the Indiana State Police regarding the FBI’s misunderstanding of Indiana law.  

“In Indiana, we believe expungement restores civil rights, including Hoosiers’ Second Amendment rights,” Attorney General Rokita said. “America values justice and liberty for all, and this includes reinstating the right to vote, hold public office, serve as a juror, and purchase a firearm.”  

The FBI has denied the right of Hoosiers who have successfully had specific categories of felony convictions expunged in Indiana courts to purchase or possess firearms. 

Each state has its own list of criminal records that can be expunged. What is eligible for expungement depends on the state – not the FBI. 

The Legislature has spoken unequivocally as to what categories of felonies are eligible for expungement consideration, and Indiana’s expungement process does NOT apply to the following felonies: 

· a sex or violent offender 

· a person convicted of official misconduct 

· a person convicted of any homicide offense 

· a person convicted of any human and sex trafficking offense 

· a person convicted of any sex crime offense 

· a person convicted of two or more felony offenses that involved the unlawful use of a deadly weapon and were not committed as part of the same episode of criminal conduct 

· a person convicted of a felony that resulted in the death of another person 

These exceptions aim to keep people safe from violent felons obtaining weapons while also preserving the rights of those who have had more minor crimes erased or expunged from their criminal record. 

“Our legislators are voted in by regular, everyday Hoosiers,” Attorney General Rokita said. “They take on issues important to the public while ensuring they follow the U.S. and Indiana constitutions. Any limitations on owning or purchasing a firearm must be very narrow and clearly justified to avoid the violation to our Second Amendment rights.” 

Guy Relford, an Indiana attorney, radio host, author, Certified Firearms Instructor, and founder of The2AProject.com also submitted feedback in support of Attorney General Rokita’s Opinion. 

“Bureaucrats in Washington have repeatedly attempted to thwart the clear intention of the Indiana General Assembly to restore the right to possess a firearm of persons who have earned the opportunity to expunge their felony convictions,” Relford said. “In that process, I believe that the FBI and the federal Department of Justice have intentionally mischaracterized and misinterpreted our expungement statute so as to wrongfully deny the Second Amendment rights of Hoosiers. Official Opinion 2024-1, issued today by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, clarifies our expungement statute and demonstrates Indiana’s continued fight to protect the Second Amendment rights of Indiana residents against the constant onslaught on those rights by the federal government.” 

Attorney General Rokita’s Office released the Gun Owners’ Bill of Rights in 2022 to ensure law-abiding Hoosiers fully understand their Second Amendment rights, including the right to purchase and own firearms in cases of expungement.

Artimus Pyle, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Member And Former Lynyrd Skynyrd Drummer Releases New Album

0

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Member and former drummer of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Artimus Pyle is excited to release the Artimus Pyle Band’s long-awaited album ‘Anthems – Honoring The Music of Lynyrd Skynyrd.’ With a total of thirteen tracks, this record features artists including Ronnie Dunn, Sammy Hagar, Lee Brice, Billy Ray Cyrus, Warren Hayes, Michael Ray, Chris Janson, LOCASH, Jerrod Niemann, Marty Raybon, Lindsay Ell, and Dolly Parton! Released by Get Joe Records and distributed by BFD/Orchard, the Artimus Pyle Band has recently made his Grand Ole Opry debut and has been featured in Forbes, Cowboys & Indians, Larry London’s Border Crossings on Voice of America, RFD-TV, Huckabee, The Tennessean, and a premiere of Artimus Pyle and Dolly Parton’s collaboration on “Free Bird” with Garden & Gun. This new version of “Free Bird” also includes a new guitar recording from late Lynyrd Skynyrd founding member Gary Rossington.

Fans can also order the limited edition ‘Anthems – Honoring The Music of Lynyrd Skynyrd’ on vinyl by going to ArtimusPyle.com. As part of a separate limited-edition bundle, music lovers can order the CD and an autographed collector’s edition drumhead. Priced at $100.00, this exclusive package includes the tribute album and a one-of-a-kind, autographed 15” drumhead featuring Artimus Pyle’s logo. Limited in availability, this special offer guarantees fans a unique and collectible addition to their music memorabilia, making it a must-have while supplies last.

Renowned as the untamed force behind Lynyrd Skynyrd, Artimus Pyle’s impactful double bass drumming was instrumental in defining the band’s iconic sound. His breakthrough moment came at the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam, where his authoritative drumming, initially credited simply as “Artimus Pyle, percussion,” captured widespread attention. Further establishing himself as a sought-after session drummer, Pyle connected with acts such as Charlie Daniels and the Marshall Tucker Band, eventually crossing paths with Ronnie Van Zant and Ed King at Studio One in Doraville, Georgia. This fateful encounter paved the way for the creation of ‘Saturday Night Special,’ leaving an indelible mark on Ronnie. Making his live debut at Jacksonville’s Sgt Pepper’s Club in October 1974, Pyle assumed the role of Skynyrd’s drummer following the release of ‘Second Helping,’ contributing to the band’s subsequent four albums, including the legendary ‘Street Survivors.’ Pyle survived the band’s tragic 1977 plane crash that took six lives, including Steve and Cassie Gaines, along with the band’s leader, Ronnie Van Zant.

“This project has been a year in the making, but when the fans hear it they will understand why it took so long,” says Len Snow, Get Joe Records president. “Artimus is legendary within the Southern Rock space. The music that Lynyrd Skynyrd made will always live as a part of rock history. This album honors that music and gives Artimus a way to honor his former bandmates.”

  1. I Know A Little – Micheal Ray
