Pastor led in voting as 2 Evansville school board members lose seats

EVANSVILLE – Two sitting members of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Board lost their seats Tuesday night. According to preliminary results from all 22 vote centers in the county, both at-large member Melissa Moore and District 2 incumbent David Hollingsworth will be ousted. Newcomer Lindsey Patterson will replace Hollingsworth. She was one of two candidates to move on in the district. Longtime board leader Mike Duckworth edged Hollingsworth by less than 1,000 votes. In the at-large seat, Moore will cede to conservative pastor Steve Ary, who ran a longshot bid for mayor in 2019. That same year, he was a vocal opponent of the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library's Drag Queen Story Hour at North Park library. In the mid-2000s, he portrayed Jesus in Easter re-enactments at Bible Center Cathedral on North First Avenue. He also served as pastor at the non-denominational CityGate Indiana church. In AI-generated posts to his Facebook page, he touted his experience as 14 years of teaching in a homeschooling environment. Among the subjects he said he taught were "biblical mathematics" and creation science. Patterson, meanwhile, listed her priorities on her website as "empowering educators," "championing the arts," "connecting families" and "advancing equity." Ary, the only school board

Indiana carries out the first of 3 US executions taking place on a single day

An Indiana man who admitted killing his girlfriend's two children was executed early Thursday in the first of three lethal injections scheduled for the same day in the U.S. Jeffrey Weisheit killed the children, ages 8 and 5, by setting fire to his girlfriend's house in the Evansville area in 2010. Weisheit died at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City. The lethal injection started just after midnight and he was pronounced dead at 12:45 a.m., according to Noelle Russell, Indiana Department of Correction chief communications officer. She said Weisheit's final meal was barbecue ribs and he had no final words. Florida and Alabama were also set to carry out executions Thursday, which would mark the second time this year that three people in the U.S. would be put to death on the same day. It will be Florida’s 19th execution this year under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis — matching a record set by the state in 2025 — but the first this year in Indiana. The death penalty has faced renewed scrutiny following the September failed execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee, although courts have rejected efforts to halt other executions since she survived two lethal doses of pentobarbital.
