Fountain County Court rules that Cy Gerde attacked and robbed his mother
Findings of Fact - Paragraph 38 Following the employment of an attorney in 1974, the tension between the sons and the parents began to increase, and from 1974 to 1976 and continuing to the date of the trial of this case, the defendants, Winton and Cy, embarked upon a wilful [sic], callous and malicious course of conduct with the express purpose and intention of inflicting emotional stress and anguish upon Clifford and Miriam without regard to their physical well-being. They were successful in that intent and purpose. This conduct included among other things: B. In August of 1976 the defendants forcibly entered plaintiffs' home after being expressly ordered not to do so, and physically and emotionally assaulted Miriam. C. Caused the police to stop the plaintiff and his agents and interfere with Clifford's right to use, enjoy and dispose of his property. This was done by Cy with the express purpose of causing embarrassment and humiliation to the plaintiff's. [emphasis added] Below are the findings issued by the court in Gerde v Gerde where Carlyle Gerde was found to have physically assaulted and robbed his mother. He was found liable for and ordered to pay $70,000 in damages to his parents in addition to being ordered to return significant amounts of property which he stole from his parents house.
The accompanying
Petition for Order to Show Cause seeking to have Carlyle (Cy) Gerde
held in contempt for refusing to return property he stole from his
mother. Gerde's contempt for the rule of law goes back many years.

Kathleen Hudson was sworn into office in January 1997. At the first meeting of the Tippecanoe County Board of Commissioners, Gene Jones was elected president and Kathleen Hudson was elected vice-president. Jones and Hudson voted to appoint Cy Gerde county attorney. Gerde has been Hudson's personal attorney and worked on her campaign. Journal and Courier, 1/7/97 "In
this country, we don't go around apologizing to other people who were
wrongly accused. These things happen all the time. He's not a special

A Watchdog Organization – TUFF With Tax Waste Since 1980 This is Cy Gerde's mailing address. He claims to be saving taxpayer's $1,000,000 per year. He must want that money saved to be able to pay his legal fees. http://www.fairtaxindiana.net/district4/tuff.htmTown of New Ross v. Scott Ferritti, et al. (9/22/04 IndCtApp) Vaidik, Judge The
Town of New Ross appeals the $57,393.57 judgment that the trial court
entered in favor of Scott Ferretti d/b/a Ferretti Construction based
upon the theories of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Ferretti
cross-appeals, contending that the trial court should have awarded him
pre-judgment interest. Because the public work contract between the
parties included the costs of implementing a storm water drain plan, we
conclude that the Town of New Ross must pay Ferretti for those costs
and pre-judgment interest for those damages. In addition, because of
the dearth of evidence regarding whether any of the changes Ferretti
made to the project were mandated by state law, we remand for such a
determination. In the event that any of the changes were mandated by
state law, we conclude that Ferretti must be compensated for them as
well. However, we conclude that the trial court erred in awarding
damages to Ferretti for the remaining changes he made to the project
that were not memorialized in writing because to do so would violate
public policy. We therefore affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand
in part. * * * SULLIVAN, J., and MAY, J., concur. Did you guess that Cy Gerde was the Town Attorney and that all of this litigation could have been prevented by following the state mandated bidding procedures? | The Carlyle "Cy" Gerde Litigation Fraud Income Model
Carlyle (Cy) Gerde makes most of his income from defrauding towns through the use of concocted and unnecessary litigation in addition to overbilling for the work allegedly performed. A common strategy by Gerde is to find a person within a town and then conspire with and start using the town police to harass the person. Gerde goes from town to town doing this and has said such things as it is his goal to take 10% of a town's budget and he doesn't mind continuing frivilous litigation because it is just going to cost the taxpayers more money. Cy Gerde creative billing
Below are the Colfax nuisance ordinance and the ordinance settling a lawsuit brought against the Town of Colfax for wrongfully suing someone over grass.
2006-2009 Thorntown - Gerde charged the Town of
Thorntown over $30,000 for various legal fees relating to the
persecution of a man who put up a sign in his window about child
molesters. Council president Gary Jones became very upset about it.
Colfax Marshal Duane Lewellen, whose wife Martha Lewellen sits on the
Thorntown Council, suggested that Gerde represent the Town. Council
members met in secret at Gerde's office prior to the 21 August 2006
official hiring of Gerde. This was in violation of the Indiana Open
Door Law.
Overbilling, billing for work not performed and committing other frauds has been the legacy of the thief Cy Gerde. Here is just one example of the fraud committed by Cy Gerde. Although this has repeatedly been made known to the Thorntown Town Council members Jones and Lewellen, Gerde still remains in the employ of the Town. Below you may view part of Gerde's bill. Notice the entry for April, 25, 2007 then look at the response from the judge below.

Town threatens fine over 9-11 memorial The Associated Press COLFAX, Ind. - George Benefiel suggests his makeshift memorial to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is a type of landscaping or even public art. But town officials see only a pile of bricks and debris and have threatened to levy $1,000-a-day fines against Benefiel. The Town Council in this community about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis last week issued its latest citation against Benefiel - this time with a warning of a $1,000 fine for every day after Aug. 15 he fails to remove his memorial. That date was the deadline by which the mound was to have been cleaned up under an agreement one of Benefiel's attorneys negotiated with town officials. The mound of debris behind Benefiel's pole barn on Main Street includes a flag and a sign, reading, "Remember 9-11-01. God bless America." In a June 18 letter, town officials demanded that Benefiel clean up the debris, which they considered to be a nuisance. But instead of removing the mound, he has been building it up. When Benefiel received the letter from town officials in June, several thousand bricks were for sale and stashed in back of his property. He later sold most of the bricks, then scooped up the remainder for the monument and hoisted a flag. Benefiel has called the mound his attempt at landscaping. His attorney, Richard D. Martin, referred to it as art and said his client had cleaned up the site. "I think the town is completely wrong about this," Martin said. "Art is in the eye of the beholder." City officials beg to differ. "We think the flag and sign are great," Town Attorney Cy Gerde said. "But that doesn't change the issue of the bricks." |
Purdue fraternities, sorority placed on probation following hazing violations
From University News Service - March 11, 2009
Purdue officials on Wednesday (March 11) announced that two fraternities and a sorority have been placed
on probation for violating the university's hazing policies.
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, 629 University St., and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, 325 Waldron St., were
placed on probation after new fraternity members were required to drink alcohol and perform tasks for
active sorority members at a Big Sis Night. The fraternity Lambda Phi Epsilon was placed on probation
after new members were subjected to psychological and physical abuse, including depriving them of sleep.
Pi Kappa Alpha has been placed on probation through the end of new member education in spring semester
2010. Kappa Kappa Gamma is on probation through the end of fall semester 2009. Lambda Phi Epsilon is on
probation until the end of the spring 2010 semester.
"We have already had a dialogue with the chapter leaders, alumni and national office staff," said
Pablo Malavenda, associate dean of students. "We are looking forward to working collaboratively to
assist the chapters in getting beyond this to become stronger organizations. We view this as an
educational process and an opportunity to work closely with these chapters at this difficult time."
Organizations on probation retain the rights and privileges the university grants to groups in good
standing but are issued a warning and must adhere to a specific list of rules and conditions.
All three organizations must attend a variety of campus events and programming, such as hazing, new
membership and alcohol education programs and the Student Leaders Retreat on Aug. 19-21.
In addition, Lambda Phi Epsilon is not allowed to have a new members class for spring 2009; Lambda
Phi Epsilon and Pi Kappa Alpha must have their new member education program reviewed by the Office
of the Dean of Students and their national offices; Pi Kappa Alpha and Kappa Kappa Gamma will have to
work together on the development of an educational program in conjunction with Hazing Prevention Week
and Pi Kappa Alpha must have 70 percent of its members participate in at least two community service
projects each semester.
At the end of each of the group's probationary period, it must petition to the Office of the Dean of
Students to be placed in good standing with the university. Probations are not subject to an appeal.
Purdue regulations define hazing as any activity that interferes with scholastic activities, creates
a substantial risk or physical harm or degrades any person. Punishments can range from a verbal or
written warning to withdrawal of the organization's recognition.

Cy's wife, Pris, is a member of the Purdue Chapter of KKG, and she was the KKG National President.
She went over to the house about a month ago to give a talk about drinking, and social
responsibility. Guess that talk went over well.
