Gov. Beshear Announces $400K in Funding to Improve Parks in Henderson County

HENDERSON, Ky. (June 22, 2022) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear presented $400,000 in federal grant awards to improve two parks in Henderson County. The funding will be used for projects at the Airline Road Sports Complex and Sandy Lee Watkins Park.

“These projects will benefit our Kentucky families and provide greater accessibility to our parks,” said Gov. Beshear. “Investing in our outdoor spaces is investing in the well-being of Kentuckians.”

Airline Road Sports Complex (Phase II)
Gov. Beshear presented a $200,000 grant from the Land & Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) to the city of Henderson for Phase II of the Airline Road Sports Complex project. Phase II will include the construction of six baseball diamonds, two multi-purpose fields, one concession area, parking lots, lighting, as well as pedestrian walkways. The project will provide a centralized location for youth sports leagues.

“This land and water grant is an important piece of the financing plan for our new youth sports park,” said Henderson Mayor Steve Austin. “It’s a rather expensive venture overall, but very valuable to our community in years to come. It will serve our community with youth sports facilities for baseball, football, soccer and lacrosse. The sports park will be a 60-acre facility that will be constructed in three phases with phase one starting immediately.”

Sandy Lee Watkins Park Restroom Facilities
Gov. Beshear presented $200,000 in LWCF funding to the Henderson County Fiscal Court to construct two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant restroom facilities at Sandy Lee Watkins Park. The project will include underground electric lines, water lines, meters, plumbing fixtures, water heaters and the construction of the building.

“Sandy Lee Watkins Park has become a favorite destination for local anglers, walkers, horseback riders, families and nature enthusiasts,” said Henderson County Judge/Executive Brad Schneider. “Every year more and more folks are enjoying its amenities. We appreciate all those who helped make this funding opportunity possible.”

About the Land and Water Conservation Fund
The LWCF provides federal grant funds to protect important natural areas, acquire land for outdoor recreation and develop or renovate public outdoor recreation facilities such as campgrounds, picnic areas, sports and playfields, swimming facilities, boating and fishing facilities, trails, natural areas and parks. To receive the federal funds, which are administered at the state level by the Department for Local Government, selected applicants must undergo federal review and receive approval from the National Park Service.

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric J. Holcomb today signed a proclamation calling a special session for the General Assembly to convene on July 6, 2022, to take action on his plan to return more than $1 billion of state reserves to Hoosier taxpayers.

“This is the fastest, fairest and most efficient way to return taxpayers’ hard-earned money during a time of economic strain,” said Gov. Holcomb. “Indiana’s economy is growing and with more than $1 billion of revenue over current projections, Hoosier taxpayers deserve to have their money responsibly returned. I’m happy to be able to take this first step and look forward to signing this plan into law as soon as possible.”

Each taxpayer would collect about $225 in addition to the $125 Hoosiers are currently receiving from the state’s automatic taxpayer refund (ATR). All told, each eligible Hoosier would receive about $350; a married couple filing jointly would receive about \$700.

USI Baseball Welcomes Gobert Back To Coaching Staff

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Baseball Head Coach Tracy Archuleta announced that former All-American and graduate assistant Nick Gobert ’17 M’19 is returning to the Screaming Eagles as an assistant coach in 2022-23.

“I’m excited to have Coach Gobert back on our staff,” Archuleta said. “Anytime you get a former player/coach back, it is very exciting. Coach Gobert has been to two NJCAA World Series as a coach and brings a lot of passion and knowledge to our team.”

Gobert spent the 2021-22 academic year at Walters State Community College in Morristown, Tennessee, where he helped lead the Senators to a 60-7 record and an appearance in the Junior College World Series.

During his tenure with the Senators, Gobert assisted more than 50 players in hitting, infield, outfield, catching, baserunning and pitching. The Senators had four All-Americans in 2022 and were the top-ranked team in their region before finishing third at the NJCAA Division I World Series.

Prior to Walters State, Gobert was an assistant coach at Indian Hills Community College in Centerville, Iowa, where he helped lead the Warriors to a 44-16 record in 2021 and a sixth-place finish in the NJCAA Division I World Series.

Gobert assisted more than 90 players during his two seasons at Indian Hills and ran the pitching staff during the 2020 season.

“Nick has been a pitching coach and a hitting coach, which makes him very versatile,” Archuleta explained. “He has experience on the recruiting trail and has shown he can locate and bring in quality student-athletes. I’m looking forward to working with Nick and watching him develop our student-athletes.”

Gobert got his start in collegiate coaching as a graduate assistant with the Eagles under Archuleta during the 2018-19 season. The Eagles went 30-21 overall and 21-12 in GLVC play before winning their first round game in the conference tournament.

Prior to joining the Eagles’ coaching staff, Gobert played for Archuleta, helping lead the Eagles to the 2018 NCAA II Midwest Region title and a berth in the NCAA II Championship for the fifth time in program history.

Gobert earned honorable mention All-America honors from the NCBWA in 2018 and was first-team All-Region as well as first-team All-GLVC East Division. At the plate, he hit .357 as a senior with 26 doubles, four triples, three home runs and 55 RBI.

In two seasons in a USI uniform, Gobert hit .316 with 38 doubles, six triples, four home runs, and 79 RBI.

On the mount, he went 5-3 with a pair of saves, a 4.37 ERA and a .253 opponent batting average as a senior after making three appearances during his junior year.

After transferring from the University of Dayton following the 2016 season, Gobert went on to earn a pair of Academic All-GLVC awards as well as CoSIDA Academic All-District IV honors in 2018.

Gobert earned a bachelor’s degree in sport management with a minor in strength and conditioning from USI in 2017 as well as a master’s degree in sport management from USI in 2019.

The Jasper, Indiana, native has served as a baseball camp counselor as well as an assistant coach for the Dubois County Bombers (Ohio Valley League). Gobert and his wife, Haley, who were married in 2021, reside in Evansville.
