EPA and Army Host Midwest-Focused Virtual Regional WOTUS Roundtable

0

WASHINGTON (May 6, 2022) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of the Army (Army) (together, the agencies) will host a virtual Midwest-focused regional roundtable on “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) on May 9, 2022, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. central time. The virtual roundtable hosted by the agencies was organized by the National Parks Conservation Association and is one of ten roundtables selected to highlight diverse perspectives and regional experience on WOTUS implementation.

“As EPA and Army continue toward WOTUS implementation that is durable and protects our water resources, it is essential that we hear from diverse perspectives and understand regional variations in how that plays out. We believe all Americans support clean water and look forward to the interesting dialogue that will be cultivated in these roundtables,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Water Radhika Fox.

“The Army is looking forward to participating in these regional roundtables, particularly to gain a better understanding of ways to ensure implementation of the definition of WOTUS is clear with the appropriate level of consideration for regional differences and identification of tools that may exist.  The Army recognizes how important communication is to implementing the Clean Water Act and looks forward to the upcoming dialogue,” said Mr. Jaime Pinkham, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works.

In February, EPA and Army announced the selection of ten virtual regional roundtables that highlight geographic differences and a range of perspectives—including agriculture, conservation groups, developers, drinking water and wastewater managers, environmental organizations, communities with environmental justice concerns, industry, Tribal nations, and state and local governments.

Watch the livestream for this Midwest roundtable here.

The regional roundtables are one important mechanism for the agencies to consider the regional issues and variation in implementation of WOTUS, given the diverse water quality and quantity conditions in different parts of the United States. The regional roundtables will provide opportunities to discuss geographic similarities and differences, particular water resources that are characteristic of or unique to each region, and site-specific feedback about the way WOTUS has been implemented by the agencies. The remaining nine roundtables will be held later this month and next month.

EPD DAILY ACTIVI9TY REPORT

Otters’ comeback in exhibition comes up one run short

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - After falling behind early, the Evansville Otters fought back multiple instances in a 6-5 exhibition loss to the Gateway Grizzlies Friday evening.

 

Gateway opened the scoring in the top of the first with a hard-hit ball by Isaac Benard to first base. The ball had enough on it that it caused first basemen Steven Sensley to misplay it, allowing Trevor Achenbach to score from second base.

 

The 1-0 lead lasted until the fourth inning when the Otters found the scoreboard for the first time off a home run to left field from leftfielder Jeffery Baez.

 

In the top of the fifth, Evansville had one of their best pitching performances of the night, when Jake Polancic struck out the side in his only inning of work.

 

Gateway blew the game open in the top of the sixth, scoring one on an RBI single from Jose Rosario. A base hit and walk later, the bases were loaded for pinch-hitter Pete Zimmerman, who sent a grand slam ball over the left-field wall, advancing the Grizzlies’ lead to 6-1.

 

The Otters’ comeback kicked off in the bottom of the 7th inning when the Otters had the bases loaded for the third time in the evening. J.R. Davis kicked off the scoring with an RBI single, good for his third base hit of the night.

 

An error after a fielder’s choice on a Kyle MacDonald ground ball gave the Otters two more runs. Zach West brought the Otters within one with an RBI single to up the middle, but their rally ended there.

 

Gateway would ride the 6-5 lead all the way to the end. The Grizzlies scored their six runs on six hits, while only stranding four runners. Evansville, however, stranded 11 runners, recording their five runs on seven hits.

 

The two sides face off once again on Saturday at GCS Credit Union Ballpark in Sauget, Ill. First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m.

 

Aces deliver walk-off win over Illinois State with five-run bottom of the ninth

0
 
EVANSVILLE – It was another magical night at The Braun as the University of Evansville baseball team delivered a five-run rally in the ninth inning to walk-off with a victory over Illinois State on Friday evening at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
“What an incredible comeback from our team. We have the ability to stack quality at bats and that’s what showed up in the 9th,” said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. “Shane Gray and Drew kept it just close enough. Just a special start to the weekend.”

On the mound, Shane Gray got the start, pitching six innings and limiting the Redbirds to three runs on eight hits, while striking-out seven. In relief, Drew Dominik came on to earn his third win in as many appearances, pitching the final three innings, allowing just one run on two hits and firing five Ks without a walk.

The middle of Evansville’s order powered the Aces on the night with Brent Widder, Simon Scherry, and Chase Hug each record a pair of hits on the night.

Offense was limited for both sides in the first four innings with Illinois State scraping across a run in the second representing the only run scored by either side in the first four frames. A tight contest much of the early portions of the game, a pair of solo home runs from Illinois State’s Jake McCaw and Nick Gile, who launched back-to-back shots in the fifth inning to give Illinois State a 3-0 lead.

A strong performance started by Shane Gray was continued over the final three innings by Drew Dominik. In three innings of action, Dominik allowed his only run of the contest on an RBI single by the Redbirds that lifted the visitor’s advantage to 4-0. In the bottom half of the ninth, Evansville’s rally was sparked by Brendan Hord reaching first on an errant throw from Illinois State. Followed by a base hit from Eric Roberts, the Aces saw consecutive batters retired, putting the Redbirds just one out away from a series-opening win. Tanner Craig preserved the chance for Evansville, ripping a double deep to left that scored Hord and pushed UE within three runs of Illinois State. Widder followed suit with a single to left, scoring another run. After a Redbird pitching change, Scherry worked a walk to load the bases and Evan Berkey did the same, pushing home a run and narrowing the Redbirds’ lead to just one at 4-3. Proving to provide clutch hits when the Aces have needed them, Chase Hug delivered for Evansville, driving a 1-1 pitch through the left side, scoring Widder to tie the game. Scherry was sent home, rounding third and sliding home safely to win the game as the throw missed the line as UE captured the 5-4 win.

Evansville continues its series with Illinois State on Saturday at 2 PM for Kids Day at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium, featuring free admission for kids, inflatables, free t-shirts, and popsicles.

Vincennes University Golf Coach Dennis Chattin to be inducted into NJCAA Golf Hall of Fame

VINCENNES, Ind. – The NJCAA Men’s Golf Coaches Association announced their 2022 Hall of Fame class and of the six names list was VU Head Coach Dennis Chattin.

“It is very humbling to think that I will be in ‘The Hall’,” Chattin said. “Just this year alone, to see my name with those that are being inducted is hard to believe, let alone those that have been inducted over the years. I hope this will elevate the visibility of our golf program at VU. It makes me feel as though I should have done more to have earned this.”

Coach Chattin has guided the VU Men’s Golf program since 2003 and has led the Trailblazers to three NJCAA Division III National Championships in six years, in 2013, 2016 and 2018.

Chattin has also had team finish third, fifth and seventh in the National Championship tournament and has been named National Coach of the Tournament three times.

During his time at VU, Chattin has been named NJCAA Region 12 Coach of the Year six times, won six Region 12 team Championships and had 11 golfers receive NJCAA All-American honors.

“There have been many memories, but mostly about the players that have played for us,” Chattin added. “There have been some great people, not just athletes, that have played here at VU.”

“The National Championships are, of course, very special,” Chattin said. “As the old Wide World of Sports intro said, ‘it’s the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat’ that I think makes coaches tick. I think creating a once in a lifetime memory for players is a large part of what you hope to accomplish.”

Chattin is the 21st Vincennes University player, coach or contributor to receive NJCAA Hall of Fame honors and the seventh in the last six years.

Vincennes University now has three current NJCAA Hall of Fame coaches, with Chattin joining Men’s Basketball Head Coach Todd Franklin and Women’s Basketball Head Coach and Athletic Director Harry Meeks.

“I can remember walking into the P.E. Complex and seeing all the great accomplishments of VU Athletics and coaches and realizing that we didn’t have anything there for golf,” Chattin added. “I wanted to put golf in the rafters as well. I also remember having athletes I contacted say they didn’t know VU had a golf team and that even included people that worked at VU.”

“The Championships helped change that image and I hope that in some way this will add to the great history of VU Athletics and make golf more visible to prospective players for our program,” Chattin said.

VU Trailblazers sign Stetson University transfer Tasos Cook

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Trailblazers continued to add to their 2022 recruiting class with the signing of NCAA Division I transfer Tasos Cook from Stetson University in DeLand, Fla.

Cook is a six-foot-two, 200-pound guard from Westerville, Ohio, a northeastern suburb of Columbus, where he led the Westerville Central Warhawks to the 2021 Ohio Division I High School State Championship game.

Cook averaged 21.2 points per game in his senior year at Westerville Central and was named the 2021 Ohio Division I District Player of the Year and earned a First Team All-Ohio Division I spot.

Cook jumped onto the recruiting scene in his final two years of high school, where he led Westerville Central to their first two District Championships in school history.

“Tasos is a strong, attacking guard,” VU Hall of Fame Head Coach Todd Franklin said. “That’s what he was in high school when he was obviously very successful as a senior. He took Westerville Central to the State title game and averaged 21 points per game. He probably averaged more like 25 or 26 points during their postseason run.”

“He’s very strong and has really good bounce and he’s aggressive at taking the ball to the basket,” Franklin added. “He’s an older guy. He has the physical toughness and has a little bit of fire to him. He’s a competitive guy and played well in big games in his high school career.”

“He’s got that competitive fire and it was something that he was known for in high school,” Franklin said. “It’s been something that we’ve been known for over the years and something, I thought, we were a little bit lacking on last year.”

Cook played last season at Stetson University in Florida, where he played in 21 games and averaged six minutes per game.

The Hatters finished the season with a record of 11-19 under head coach Donnie Jones in his third year with the program.
