Ordinance closing Hammond gas stations in early morning hours takes effect Wednesday

HAMMOND, Ind. (WLS) — Gas stations in Hammond, Indiana will have to close from midnight to 5 a.m. as of Wednesday.
The Hammond Common Council approved an ordinance regulating hours at the city’s 37 gas stations earlier this year.
They’re hoping this will reduce the number of crimes committed late into the night.
Hammond city council passes ordinance closing gas stations in early morning hours
The ordinance was first proposed after a 33-year-old Chicago man was shot at a Luke gas station around 2 a.m. on June 25. He later died at the hospital.
The ordinance allows gas stations to petition the Board of Public Works and Safety for an exception to the rule.

INDIANAPOLIS — Well, he needs players. First-year Indiana basketball coach Darian DeVries is without a roster, save for one signed freshman who fled the state for a year at a prep powerhouse.
The churn of the transfer portal and expectancy of a roster rebuild after a coaching change leaves IU without a player from last season’s roster. That sometimes can be deceiving but, for the Hoosiers, it is true as a result of having 19 players last season and only 15 roster spots once the House vs NCAA settlement is approved, as it is expected to be April 7.
It shouldn’t be long before the Hoosiers have players, though. That date will establish a clearinghouse which will monitor NIL deals, so college teams have reasons to set their rosters, at least financially, before they have to report those deals.
DeVries is looking for those who fit him, his coaching peers and foes told IndyStar, and that includes at Saturday’s IHSAA basketball state finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Perhaps he’s looking for a diamond in the rough for next year, or just scouting for the future. Follow along with state here.
Where is IU basketball recruit Trent Sisley?
Remember the signed freshman who went to a prep powerhouse? That would be Trent Sisley, Hoosier through and through (the coaching change), who starred at Heritage Hills before taking his talents to Montverde Academy in Florida.
That same move has worked out for this year’s March Madness stars: Maryland’s Derik Queen hit a memorable and widely debated game-winner to hold off Colorado State’s upset bid, and Duke’s Cooper Flagg is likely the No. 1 NBA Draft pick in June. Montverde has sent stars, and plenty of one-and-dones, to the NBA. Think Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard and Detroit Pistons rising stars Cade Cunnigham and Jalen Duren.
There’s also a Montverde-to-IU pipeline, of sorts. Both Malik Reneau and Jalen Hood-Schifino attended the powerhouse before wearing cream and crimson candy stripes. And next, Sisley, who Hoosiers fans can watch Wednesday at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers as part of the national tournament.
