USI Men’s XC/T&F Signs Four

0

University of Southern Indiana Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field announced that four competitors have signed to compete for the Screaming Eagles and Head Coach Mike Hillyard in 2021-22. That list includes incoming sophomore Mitchell Hopf (Santa Claus, Indiana) as well as incoming freshmen Dylan Bland (Holland, Indiana), Elliott Buechlein (Lamar, Indiana) and Ricky Pflanz (Huntingburg, Indiana).

Hopf is a transfer from Indiana State University, where he appeared in four cross country meets and three indoor track meets as a freshman in 2019-20 before racing in two indoor meets and one outdoor meet during the COVID-19 altered 2020-21 season.

A graduate of Heritage Hills High School (Lincoln City, Indiana), Hopf helped HHHS to the 2018 Pocket Athletic Conference Track & Field championship. He was a two-time state qualifier as well as an IATCCC Class 3A All-State honoree on the cross country course in 2017. He also was an Academic All-State honoree in 2019, a five-time All-PAC honoree and two-time sectional champion.

Bland graduated from Southridge High School in Huntingburg, Indiana, where he earned letters in basketball, cross country and track & field. He was a two-time IATCCC Class 2A All-State honoree on the cross country course as well as a three-time All-PAC honoree.

The school-record holder in the 5,000 meters (15:50), Bland also was an All-Conference honoree in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters, while also setting school records in the 1,600 meters (4:24), the 3,200 meters (9:44) and the 4×800-meter relay (8:26). He was an IHSAA Sportsmanship Award winner.

Buechlein recently finished up his senior year at Heritage Hills High School where he competed in basketball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving and track & field.

A two-time Academic All-State honoree, Buechlein earned All-State honors on the track this past spring when he finished sixth in the 1,600 meters at the IHSAA Track & Field Championships. He has helped his track & field team to a pair of conference titles while helping HHHS’s cross country team to the 2020 PAC title. He also was a three-time regional qualifier in the 4×800-meter relay.

Pflanz also is a graduate of Southridge High School, where he collected letters in football, track & field and wrestling. He was a member of SHS’s state championship team as a freshman in 2018 as well as a three regional championship teams.

This past spring, Pflanz was named SHS’s move valuable runner after earning SHS’s hardest worker award on the track as a sophomore in 2019. He posted a personal-best 800-meter time of one minute, 58.08 seconds at the Jasper IHSAA sectional as a senior in 2021.

“It’s exciting to bring in this level of talent, right out of our own backyard,” Hillyard said. “Mitchell, Elliott, Dylan and Ricky are all good friends who have competed with and against each other for quite some time. They are all tremendous students, students of the sport and will be great representatives of our program and University.”

USI begins the 2021 cross country season September 10 when it hosts the Stegemoller Classic at Angel Mounds. The Eagles also are slated to host the NCAA II Midwest Region Championships at Angel Mounds November 6.

COMMUNITY LEADER PAUL GREEN ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR EVANSVILLE CITY COUNCIL

0

After much soul-searching, a well-known community leader and retired Business Manager of IBEW Local #16 has officially announced he will be a candidate for the At-Large seat on the Evansville City Council in the 2022 election.  He will run as a Democrat.

Mr. Green stated that he plans to stay active during retirement by helping to improve his community and to help those in need.  He also feels that the city needs to focus more on affordable housing and mental health issues in our community.

Mr. Green also said the idea for running for City Council started last year when community, political, and business leaders asked him to consider running for the At-Large City Council seat. Paul stated that his campaign will focus on business-friendly issues in order to help to create more well-paying jobs with benefits for the citizens of our community.  I understand by making the government more business-friendly will create economic growth and in essence, will create a larger tax base for the government to continue to progress.

I also understand by surrounding yourself with talented people that’s why l will strive to appoint the appropriate men and women to our community boards and commission with people who want to serve the community, not themselves.  I promise to look for creative and innovative solutions to our problems in order that we can make responsible business-like decisions.

I would like to stress that I’m not running against anyone but will be vying for a seat on the Evansville City Council.  My campaign will not be negative or will not have personal attacks against any other candidate but will focus on good public policy issues.

When I was Business Manager of the IBEW Local #16, I decided to become a partner with the business community by convincing our membership to become a member of the Southwestern Indiana Chamber of Commerce.  As Business Manager of IBEW Local #16, I made the decision to cease all job actions (picketing) including hand billing against businesses.  In fact, by interacting with the business community as a partner and getting more involved in worthly community projects, Local #16 has become a valued community leader and partner.

Paul is known for his strong work ethic and sense of fairness.  His professional experiences within IBEW Local 16 are extremely impressive.  He worked his way up from Electrical Helper to Inside Journeyman Wireman to Business Manager.  He also became a NECA-IBEW Apprenticeship Instructor. While at the IBEW LOCAL #16 he served on numerous National, State, and Local committees and boards.

Mr. Green was a member of Mayor Winnecke’s re-election Campaign Finance Committee.  He also Chaired the successful campaign of 3rd Ward City Councilman Zach Heronemus and was the Finance Chairman of the Amy Back for Vanderburgh County Council campaign.

He is on the Airport Authority Board of Directors.  He’s a member of the Evansville Electrical Examining Board.  Paul serves on the Easterseals Board of Directors is also on the Executive Board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Otters Drop Early Morning Matinee To ThunderBolts

0

The Evansville Otters dropped a late morning contest Wednesday on the South Side of Chicago to the Windy City ThunderBolts in a 5-1 decision, which evened the series at one game apiece.

The ThunderBolts took the early lead in the bottom of the first on a three-run shot to left field from Windy City slugger, Rob Weissheier, off Otters starter Ryan O’Reilly.

The Bolts would plate another in the bottom of the third, as Dan Robinson smacked a solo blast to right that extended Windy City’s lead to 4-0.

Evansville plated their first run of the ballgame in the top of the fifth, which opened with a bunt base hit down the third base line from Otters catcher Michael Gangwish, catching the Bolts defense off-guard by slapping one down for his second hit of the day.

After a Miles Gordon base hit and an error put runners at the corners, Andy DeJesus would drive home the Otters first and only run of the ballgame with an RBI double to left field that was ruled a trap catch on left fielder Zach Racusin. Evansville then trailed 4-1.

Windy City would add their final tally of the ballgame in the bottom of the sixth, Jairus Richards scored on a double steal try from second as the throw down to second trickled into center field with the bag having been left vacated by both middle infielders. Richards would score on the throwing error, pushing the ThunderBolts’ lead to 5-1, where it would hold for the final.

Otters starter Ryan O’Reilly lasted through six innings, giving up those five runs (four earned) on just three hits, two of them big flies.

Samson Abernathy would work behind O’Reilly out of the bullpen, pitching scoreless seventh and eighth innings, allowing only one baserunner in each frame on a base hit and a walk.

ThunderBolts’ righty Logan Wiley earned the win for his stingy seven inning performance, while O’Reilly took his first losing decision of the season.

Evansville will look to take the series rubber match Thursday, as they send Tim Holdgrafer to the hill. First pitch is scheduled for 10:35 a.m.

Breaking News: Local Attorney Charged With Check Deception

0

Local Attorney Jonathan Danks Will  Represent Jared Thomas

Local attorney Jared Thomas has been charged with check deception in Vanderburgh County. The complaint alleges that Mr. Thomas did knowingly issue or deliver a check to acquire money or other property having a value of at least $750.00 knowing that said check would not be honored by a financial institution. The criminal charge is a level six felony, the lowest felony charge in Indiana. 

The City County observer contacted attorney Jonathan Danks, who will be representing Jared Thomas, for comment and was provided this statement,

“Jared Thomas has practiced law for 10 years throughout southern Indiana. Due to an expanding practice, Mr. Thomas recently made a change in his billing system that resulted in an overdraft of the firm trust account. Mr. Thomas has repaid the funds to all parties involved and has since taken action to ensure this circumstance will not occur in the future.”

Jared Thomas posted a $500.00 bond, and will appear in the Vanderburgh County Circuit Court for an initial hearing and advisement of rights on July 22, 2021.
