EPD Has Formed a New Unit

0

 In order to streamline APRA/FOIA requests, the Evansville Police Department has formed a new unit called the Public Access Unit. In the future, please submit all APRA/FOIA and Law Enforcement Recordings requests to: publicaccess@evansvillepolice.com. 

The normal process for requesting routine affidavits, initial incident reports, arrests reports, and to view accident reports remains the same. Media personnel can still request these items at the EPD Records counter. 

Requests that require APRA/FOIA or Law Enforcement Recordings forms include but are not limited to: body cam footage, incident case files/supplements, surveillance video, crime scene photos, emails, personnel records, training documents/records. All of these types of request should be sent to publicaccess@evansvillepolice.com. 

I have also attached the Evansville Police Department’s APRA/FOIA and Law Enforcement Recordings forms. These forms will need to be filled out entirely and submitted to the above email. You can still contact me at agray@evansvillepolice.com for questions and follow-ups.

Otters offense explodes early to cruise past Y’alls

0
Florence, Ky. – The Evansville Otters scored five runs in the first three innings and recorded 14 total hits to beat the Florence Y’alls 9-3 in the series opener.

Evansville’s 14 hits tied for the second most in a game this season. The Otters scored runs in five innings.

Jomar Reyes led the way with a four-hit day and Jake Green hit his first professional career home run.

The Otters started early with a run in the first as Kona Quiggle doubled and scored on a Y’alls’ throwing error. Green then launched a two run homer over the left field wall in the second to extend the lead to three.

Evansville topped off the early surge in the third as Bryan Rosario’s base hit scored two.

Jhon Vargas earned the win from the mound. The righty pitcher was rolling early, not allowing a hit into the fourth inning. He finished with five strikeouts, allowing just three runs over five innings for his fourth win of the season.

Leoni De La Cruz was key out of the bullpen for Evansville. He entered with the bases loaded and nobody out in the sixth, the Y’alls best chance to rally. The lefty pitcher retired all three batters he faced to escape the jam without significant damage. He struck out the side in the seventh to finish with four strikeouts.

The Otters added two more runs in the sixth and again in the eighth. Reyes as part of his big day had a two-out RBI double down the left field line in the sixth.

Reyes’ extended his team high hit streak to 15 games and had his second four hit game of the season. Quiggle notched two doubles and scored three times.

Rosario stole two more bases to reach a league-leading 30 stolen bases on the year. He also made a full extension diving catch in left field in the second inning for one of the more impressive defensive plays of the Otters season.

Evansville looks to win the series tomorrow night against Florence. First pitch from Thomas More Stadium is at 5:36 PM CT with the Evansville broadcast on the Otters Digital Network.

All home and road Otters games this season are televised on FloSports with audio-only coverage available for free on the Evansville Otters YouTube page.

Record score gives Petrova the win in prestigious event

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Continuing a stretch that has seen her win the Missouri Valley Conference Championship along with Freshman of the Year honors, University of Evansville golfer Kate Petrova put forth a record-breaking effort to win the 2023 Russian Amateur Golf Championship.

“I am extremely excited and proud to win this tournament,” Petrova said.  “I feel like the mental part of my game was very good this week and helped my performance, especially when it came to putting.”

Petrova’s victory came in record-breaking fashion.  Completing the four rounds of play with a score of 275, she recorded the lowest score in the history of the event.  Her score was 13 under par.  Setting an early tone, Petrova carded a 6-under 66 in the first round before adding a 2-under 70 and another 66 in the third round.  Completing the final 18 holes with a 73, Petrova defeated her nearest competition by seven strokes.

“I know she is very proud and excited to win this tournament,” Purple Aces Head Golf Coach John Andrews said.  “Although I didn’t get to see her play, I know that she played world class golf to not only win the championship but to set a new tournament scoring record and win by 7 strokes. What a great accomplishment for Kate!”

Gorki Golf Resort in the Leningrad region of Russia was the host course for the event, which ran from Tuesday through Friday.  Petrova was not the only UE representative in the tournament as future Aces Evgenia “Jane” Grankina played for the ladies while Daniil Romashkin played in the men’s event.  Wrapping up the final round with a 2-under 70, Romashkin earned a 4th-place finish.  His score was the lowest in the field for the final round. Grankina finished in 20th place with a final score of 317.

Instead Of More Screen Time, How About A Summer Bucket List?

Instead Of More Screen Time, How About A Summer Bucket List?

,By Xain Ballenger, TheStatehouseFile.com

The YMCA of Greater Indianapolis began its Summer Bucket List Challenge on June 19. People who accomplish 20 or more activities become eligible to win a grand prize of $2,000.

Tony Wise, the Y’s associate vice president of public relations and marketing communications, said the objective of the challenge is to get people away from their screens—especially kids.  

Recent data shows 8-, 9- and 10-year-olds are spending six hours on a screen every day—and as any parent of a teen can tell you, that number only goes up as kids get older.

Wise said the challenge ends July 16 and is free and open to all community members. 

“It’s just one of those things that we’re doing just to bring conscious brain health and wellness at the forefront of people’s minds—just keep it in front of them to make sure they’re being active and they’re doing things with their families,” Wise said.

Wise gave some examples of what kinds of activities are included on the list, things like having a picnic, playing a trivia game, reading a book, going for a walk with your friends or volunteering at a nonprofit organization. 

Wise said the point is to get outside, get fresh air and be active.

“We want everyone in our community to have a screen-free summer,” said Anne Dishman, vice president of programs.

This isn’t the first challenge of its kind. Wise said in the beginning of the year, the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis had a Reset Challenge that tried to get people back into the groove of taking care of their health and wellness. 

Last year, the Summer Bucket List Challenge featured 40 activities to choose from. If a person wanted the chance to win the grand prize, they had to complete 10 activities. 

This year there are 50 activities and a person must complete 20 tasks before having the chance to win the prize.

Those interested can join by texting SUMMER to 844-889-6222, or they can go to the website for additional information.
