We are getting really, really close to the high school baseball season now, the boys polls have come out. In a bit of a surprise, I find our Central Catholic Knights ranked #1. Frontier, our nemesis is ranked 2nd. Another fine & outstanding program we have faced the past 2 years in regional finals is Cowan ranked #3. But, Cowan is without their outstanding 96mph fastball pitching ace Justin O'Conner, he was drafted last year 1st round.
Go KNIGHTS!!!

Another step closer to Communism
Hey, our city has taken one big step towards a communistic approach to society. Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe we have one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the state including our county agency. I've noticed that over the past many years our government is breaking Constitutional law with numerous behaviors. The 1st was sobriety & seat belt check points & now this.
What our city law enforcement agency will be doing is to check our cars to see if they are locked or unlocked. Ok, they claim they will have minor access and at the same time will "kinda" eye out items in the car that could possibly be stolen. (I'm pretty sure most of us know already) They will then issue a safety protection card left on the windshield. It does not take a rocket scientist to know that their version of "kinda" eyeing stuff out is really meant to say "snooping" things out. I can't wait to see the challenge of the legality of this if drugs are found & the search & seizure law comes into the case. I will file a lawsuit if an officer opens my door only to lock it. My key is bent & will not unlock my car, it works fine on my ignition so I leave it unlocked, nothing left in it to steal. Personally, what the fuck business is it to city law enforcement if my car is unlocked or anyone elses? Sorry, I disagree with this one!!!
The 4th Amendment:
'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.'
I firmly believe the checkpoints are in violation of the 4th amendment. It clearly states that one has to provide "probable cause" to be stopped & searched. What did I do leading up to the checkpoint that warranted a stoppage? A search?
Recent violations have come about while the government now has the authority to secretly go onto one's property w/o a warrant to place a GPS tracking device on your car & track you without your kn owledge.
GPS without a warrant!!!

A Tragedy in our town
Today we have received great news about the arrest of the driver in the hit & run fatality of a 15 year old girl walking along a road here with her friend. There's no way possible that I would understand how the parents, friends & family feel after such a tragic incident.
I think it's also appropriate to comment on one of our local law enforcement agencies for resolving this issue quickly. I think it would be difficult to solve a hit n run accident, especially if that vehicle were from another state. Congrats go out to the local law enforcement agencies involved.
The driver suspect of the hit and run death of a 15-year-old girl Sunday night has been arrested. Police arrested 42-year-old Robert Kirts Monday.

The driver suspect of the hit and run death of a 15-year-old girl Sunday night has been arrested. Police arrested 42-year-old Robert Kirts Monday.
According to police, Ebony Knight was walking along State Road 25 near South Beck Lane around 8:30 p.m. on the south side of Lafayette when a dark-colored SUV hit her. The vehicle then sped off.
A police officer was looking along County Road 275 South for the suspected vehicle Monday when he saw Kirts' black Jeep Liberty. The vehicle had front end damage.
Kirts came outside to see what the officer was checking. He was then arrested.
Kirts is charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident. His car is currently impounded.
Central Catholic baseball on the horizon
We are etching ever so close to another Central Catholic baseball season here in Lafayette, IN. Practice is underway inside right now due to imperfect field conditions outside. My son Nick has been throwing during the offseason & doing some hitting with me every other weekend & at school. At my age, I can still barely throw batting practice to him. Two more summers & I will have an excuse not to throw to him anymore, he will have graduated. Not that I don't like it because I do enjoy every minute of it, what father wouldn't? In fact, when he moves on to his college playing days, I will still do it, I just might need a wheel chair to get to the mound & back. LOL
Nick's team is on back to back State Championship runs but I feel this year is going to be a tremendous challenge. CC has lost a ton of talent that took us to 2 straight titles. I have a ton of confidence in our coaching staff to get us prepared once again though. The 1st scrimmage is March 24th against Brebuef. We then play a 4A State Champion team out of Wisconsin called Catholic Central, the same team name only turned around. LOL Catholic Central has won 2 of the past 3 state titles in WI in Div4. We are on back to back & 3 out of the past 4. This could be war!!!
This game is Saturday April 2, at Lafayette Central Catholic 1:00pm!!! Be There!!!
