BREAKING NEWS: Bally’s Remains Open After Car Drives Off Bally’s Parking Garage

Updated November 25, 2024 at 7:30 PM
Operations are returning to normal at Bally’s after a strange incident this morning.
In the midst of the normal morning routine at Bally’s Casino, the sense of normal disappeared in one frightening moment when a car came crashing through the roof of the conference center. That car came from the top floor of the attached parking garage.
At the time of the crash, Koorsen Fire and Safety was hosting a conference for building inspectors and firefighters at the site. Koorsen is the fire protection company for Bally’s, and they aided in getting the building’s systems turned off. Firefighters and others attending the conference rendered aid at the scene.
The vehicle hit a concrete barrier, causing it to drop through the roof of the conference center, followed by the Ford SUV. The driver of the vehicle was the only injury.
A crane was brought in during the afternoon to lift the SUV and the concrete barrier out of the conference center.
The unanswered question is, “Why?” Police are putting together all of the information, looking at video footage, and planning to talk to the driver to determine what happened.

Bally’s was able to continue with normal casino operations through the day today and the parking garage will remain close until further notice.

Bally’s released the following statement: “We are currently investigating an incident involving a vehicle that drove off the seventh floor of our parking garage and will provide updates as necessary. Upon initial review, the incident appears to be the result of driver error. There are no signage or structural issues with the parking garage. The safety of our guests and staff remains our top priority.”

Scott deals as Otters win third straight

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters (11-13) beat the Washington Wild Things (13-11) 6-3 on Saturday night in a divisional contest.

The Otters had their ace on the bump today in Braden Scott, who was dealing in the first two frames. He began his outing striking out the side in the first and worked through a hit-by-pitch to throw a scoreless second.

In the third, Washington was able to take a 1-0 lead by the time the Otters came to bat.

A leadoff walk to Ellis Schwartz got the offense going for Evansville in the home half of the third. With Schwartz on first, LJ Jones lasered a ball into left center field to score Schwartz from first. The next batter up, Keenan Taylor, then sent a line drive over the left field wall for his fourth home run of the season. This gave the Otters a 3-1 lead at the end of the third.

With a good offensive inning behind him, Scott pitched a scoreless fourth to quickly get the bats up and going. Raymond Gil and Justin Felix would reach to begin the inning and be bunted over by Alain Camou. With two runners in scoring position, Schwartz hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring in another run. Pavin Parks would later single home another run. JJ Cruz continued the hit parade with an RBI single of his own.

The Otters carried a 6-1 lead into the top of the fifth. Scott threw two more innings to end his day with a great line. He went six innings, struck out six and gave up just one run. The bullpen did their job in the seventh and held the lead where it was.

The Wild Things would tack on two in the eighth to make it closer at 6-3. Alex Valdez would shut them down though. He had a clutch outing where he would end the game with a strikeout while the bases were loaded for Washington.

In total, the Evansville pitching staff was able to strand 13 total base runners for Washington.

The Otters are back at it tomorrow at 5:05 PM CT for Dog Days of Summer! Fans with ticket stubs from Saturday night’s win can bring the stub to Sunday’s game for free admission.

All games can be heard on 96.9 WYIR and the Otters Digital Network and can be viewed live on the HomeTeam Network.

The Word 120 , To God Belongs the Glory by Jerome Stewart

To God Belongs the Glory by Jerome Stewart

The Apostle Paul said to the brethren in Romans chapter 8 vs. 31; “If God is for us, who can be against us?” He is the exact same God today! When there is a  willingness to live each day in accordance with the will of God, mankind will do the right things and make decisions based on and in conjunction with the  knowledge of; God’s word. Listen to the words of the Apostle Paul to the brethren in 2nd. Corinthians chapter 2 vss. 14 thru 17 which says; “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To  the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, as so  many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.” Stop the presses! In vs. 17 Paul mentioned those who  peddle the word of God, in essence for personal ambition/gain and in doing so pervert God’s word, and God knows who you are!  At the beginning and at the  end of each day, if you do not understand anything please understand this. It’s all about Jesus to the glory of the Father in heaven. It is not about following the  wisdom of any man who did not experience one scintilla of the pain Jesus felt when He allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross of Calvary. He had the power to destroy those who nailed Him to the cross immediately had He chosen to do so. In 2nd. Corinthians chapter 4 as Paul continued to instruct and encourage the brethren, in vs. 7 he says; “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not us.” In vss. 8 thru 10 Paul was in rare form saying; “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in the despair, persecuted but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—always carrying about in the body of the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may be made manifested in our mortal flesh.” FYI; To God be the glory for sending Jesus into the world, not some of the time, but all the time!

Farmers markets open for the season

BY Wendy McNamara
As spring transitions into summer, communities across Indiana are once again welcoming back a favorite seasonal tradition, our local farmers markets. These markets not only offer fresh, locally grown produce and handmade goods, but also support Indiana’s hardworking farmers, artisans and small businesses.

Indiana is home to more than 200 farmers markets, providing Hoosiers with direct access to healthy food and the chance to support local agriculture. Whether you’re shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, meats, plants or homemade crafts, there’s no better way to invest in our communities and our economy.
Indiana Grown is a network of local farmers and producers helping connect consumers like you to Hoosier-made products. Look for the Indiana Grown label on products when you visit grocery stores, restaurants and convenience stores. You can also visit IndianaGrown.org and search for members and products near you.

Here are a few other helpful resources:

Many markets now accept SNAP and WIC benefits, and thanks to programs like Double Up Indiana, qualifying families can double the value of their SNAP dollars when purchasing fresh produce at participating markets.
