South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Speros Batistatos has retained an attorney after the board opted not to renew his contract when it expires at the end of the year, citing concerns about the cost of his compensation.Â
Batistatos attorney, Sandra Blevins, sent a letter to the SSCVA board asking to discuss a mutually agreeable resolution after negotiations about a contract renewal stopped earlier this year. The letter asserts Batistatos, who has led Lake County s tourism efforts for the better part of more than three decades, is protected under a state law safeguarding whistleblowers after he raised concerns about whether a closed-door board meeting about using Paycheck Protection Program money to offer local cities and towns tourism grants violated Indiana s open door law.

Carmel High School quietly removed Ray Lawrence, a longtime and lauded swimming coach who was banned from USA Swimming in 2011, from its athletics hall of fame.
At the time of the ban a decade ago, USA Swimming gave IndyStar no specifics on the reason but said Lawrence was banned for life for violations that occurred before the current Code of Conduct, which started in the late 1990s.
Lawrence was the swim coach at Carmel from 1979 to 1994.
Currently, the USA Swimming s online list of banned and permanently ineligible individuals, says he was banned from USA Swimming on March 8, 2011 due to sexual misconduct.
