JADA BURTON HOSTING A “COFFEE WITH YOUR CANDIDATE” EVENT 

(Ms. Burton Is Running For House District 77 Seat Currently Held By Democrat Ryan Hatfield)

April16, 2022

(Evansville, IN) Jada Burton, the candidate for Indiana’s 77th House District, is holding “Coffee With Your Candidate” at River City Coffee + Goods on Sunday, April 10 from 2 pm to 3 pm. This event is open to the public and will give voters a chance to meet, pose questions, and voice concerns to Burton.

Burton is a graduate of Bosse High School. Currently, she is a psychology student at the University of Southern Indiana. Burton was motivated to run for office because of her passion for helping others and wants to give local Hoosiers a fresh, inviting individual to best represent their voice.

One of the key issues for Burton’s campaign is tackling high prices from Centerpoint Energy. Energy prices in Vanderburgh County have risen dramatically in recent years, which Burton attributes to Centerpoint’s state-granted monopoly.

Burton’s candidacy as a Libertarian comes in the wake of Donald Rainwater’s (L) unprecedented run for governor in 2020, who placed second in more than one-third of Indiana counties.

EPA Publishes 29th Annual U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory

0

WASHINGTON (April 14, 2022) — Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its 29th annual Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks (GHG Inventory), which presents a national-level overview of annual greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2020. Net U.S. greenhouse gas emissions were 5,222.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2020, a nearly 11% decrease in emissions from 2019. The sharp decline in emissions from 2019 to 2020 is largely due to the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on travel and economic activity. However, the decline also reflects the combined impacts of several factors, including population trends, energy market trends, technological changes including energy efficiency improvements, and the carbon intensity of energy fuel choices. 

“The annual Inventory reflects EPA’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the data that inform all of our actions on climate change” said Joseph Goffman, Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation. “Each year, EPA follows a rigorous and open process to engage with researchers, federal partners and stakeholders and incorporate new information, resulting in a national Inventory that is unsurpassed in scope and quality.”  

For this latest release, EPA has made several important improvements. For example, EPA has added estimates for two important sources of methane: emissions from post-meter uses of natural gas, which includes leak emissions from residential and commercial appliances, industrial facilities and power plants, and natural gas fueled vehicles; and emissions from flooded lands such as hydroelectric and agricultural reservoirs. Additionally, the EPA worked with researchers to include estimates of methane emissions from large anomalous leak events, such as well blow-outs.  

The GHG Inventory covers seven key greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride. In addition to tracking U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the Inventory also calculates carbon dioxide that is removed from the atmosphere through the uptake of carbon in forests and other vegetation. 

This impartial, policy neutral report has been compiled annually since 1993 and submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The report is prepared by EPA in collaboration with numerous experts from other federal agencies, state government authorities, research and academic institutions, and industry associations. Under the UNFCCC, national inventories for UNFCCC Annex I parties should be provided to the UNFCCC Secretariat each year by April 15. 

In an effort to engage the public and researchers across the country, EPA conducts an annual public review and comment process for this document. The document was made available on the EPA Greenhouse Gas Emissions website and announced via Federal Register Notice for 30 days. Comments received after the closure of the public comment period are accepted and considered for the next edition of this annual report. Public review of this year’s report occurred from February 15 to March 17, 2022, and comments received are posted to the docket EPAHQ-OAR-2022-0001. Responses to comments will be posted to EPA’s website within 2-4 weeks following publication of this report. 

EVSC Names Austin Brooks New Reitz Head Basketball Coach

0

The EVSC Board of School Trustees approved the appointment of Austin Brooks as the new boy’s varsity basketball coach at Reitz High School.

After a successful high school career as a local student-athlete, Brooks attended Ancilla College in Donaldson, Indiana where he holds the top records for field goals, free throws, and assists made while a member of the basketball team. From there, Brooks attended Southern Illinois University of Carbondale (SIUC) under the leadership of head coach Matt Painter and Chris Lowery and head assistant coach Rodney Watson until his graduation in May 2008. While at SIUC, Brooks’ team advanced to the NCAA tournament consecutively for three years.

For the last 14 years, Brooks has coached high school basketball at McCluer South Berkeley High School in St. Louis, Missouri, and Evansville Day School where he led the team to their second sectional championship in school history. He also spent the last three years as coach at Boonville High School where, under this leadership, they advanced to the sectional championship game for the first time in over ten years.

“Austin Brooks is an energetic and engaging coach who comes highly recommended. He also has the passion, knowledge, and energy to continue to build upon the remarkable success within the Reitz basketball program,” said Dr. Andy Owen, EVSC Director Of Athletics.

In addition to serving as the head basketball coach, Brooks also will teach at Reitz.

Softball home for Friday/Saturday series

Aces welcome Missouri State to Cooper Stadium

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A Friday and Saturday Missouri Valley Conference series is on the docket for the University of Evansville softball team when the Purple Aces face Missouri State in a 3-game set at Cooper Stadium.  Friday’s doubleheader opens the weekend at noon with Saturday’s finale set for a 12 p.m. start; all three games will be on ESPN3.

 Last Time Out

– UE dropped three contests last weekend in its series at Illinois State

– The first and final games of the weekend saw the Redbirds win in walk-off fashion, both by final scores of 3-2

– Game two on Saturday saw ISU take a 9-0 victory

– Marah Wood belted her team-leading fifth home run of the season in Saturday’s opener at ISU

– Mackenzie McFeron had one of the top offensive games in her career in the finale, going 3-4 in her first collegiate 3-hit game

Raising Her Level

– Through the opening 12 games of the MVC slate, senior Mackenzie McFeron leads the team with a .379 batting average and carries a 5-game hitting streak

– Her efforts in conference have seen her season average rise to .302

– She had the first 3-hit game of her career in the April 10 finale at Illinois State

– McFeron has 11 RBI in her career with eight of them coming in 2022

– She connected on one of the biggest hits of the season, hitting the game-tying double in the 7th inning of the opener at Loyola

– Four of those RBI came in the doubleheader sweep over Drake in March

– In game one, her triple in the sixth inning proved to be the game-winner in a 5-3 UE win that evened the weekend series

– McFeron did even better in the finale, belting a base-clearing walk-off double to seal a 12-3 victory and a series win

Still Going Strong

– Picking up a hit in all three games at Illinois State, Alyssa Barela improved her average to .333 in MVC play while adding two home runs and seven RBI in 12 games

– That is a huge disparity from her non-conference numbers, which saw her bat .176 with one homer and five RBI in 21 appearances

– Barela hit a game-tying single at Illinois State on April 10, which followed up a successful trip to Loyola in the weekend prior where she had a 2-3 effort in game two with a home run, double and three RBI

– With one out and two runners on in the bottom of the 9th on March 27, Barela belted a 3-run walk-off home run to give the Aces a 6-3 win over UNI

– She entered the March 4 home opener with four hits in her first 30 at-bats of the season before rebounding to hit .444 in the opening four home contests

Home Run Threat

– For the fifth time this season and first time in Valley play, Marah Wood hit a home run in the opener at Illinois State

– While her consistency has seen her record a hit in 17 of her last 23 games, she looks to make the jump on her power numbers, which have seen her register one homer and three RBI

– For the season, Wood is batting .270 with five homers and 19 RBI and is tied for third in the MVC with 10 doubles while her five homers is tied for 8th

HUNTSVILLE TAKES SERIES OPENER 5-3 

0

Huntsville, Al.: Despite a pair of one-goal leads in the game for Evansville, the Havoc stormed past the Thunderbolts with four unanswered goals in the third period to defeat the Thunderbolts 5-3 and take the 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series going back to Evansville. The Thunderbolts home playoff game against the Huntsville Havoc at Swonder Ice Arena will be on Saturday, April 16th at 7:00pm CST.  Evansville will play at Huntsville for a third game if necessary on Sunday, April 17th at 7:00pm CT.  For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), buy online at EvansvilleThunderbolts.com, or buy tickets in person at the Ford Center Box Office.

Cameron Cook opened the scoring on a 2-on-1 rush only 1:38 into the game to give the Thunderbolts a 1-0 lead, which was held through the first period and most of the second period, before Nolan Kaiser tied the game 1-1 with a power play goal at 17:54.  Connor Chatham scored on a breakaway only 1:14 into the third period to give Evansville a 2-1 lead, however the Havoc scored a pair of goals only 35 seconds apart from Jacob Barber and Nate Pionk to catapult the Havoc in front 3-2.  Bauer Neudecker added a power play goal and Barber an empty net goal to make it 5-2 Huntsville.  Cook scored his second goal of the game with 37 seconds remaining, however that would conclude the scoring as the Havoc won by a 5-3 score.

Cook scored two goals, Chatham scored one goal, and Chris Janzen made 42 saves on 46 shots in his first career playoff start.

USI walks-off with extra inning win, 7-6

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana sophomore second baseman Alex Archuleta (Evansville, Indiana) singled in the game-winning run as the Screaming Eagles walked-off the 11th inning 7-6 victory over Truman State University Wednesday evening at the USI Baseball Field. The Eagles are 14-18 overall and 3-6 in the GLVC, while Truman State is 13-21, 3-6 GLVC.   
 
Archuleta sent the first pitch he saw in the 11th to left center, driving in junior leftfielder Evan Kahre (Evansville, Indiana) with the game-winning run from second. Kahre reached on a one out single and moved into scoring position by stealing second.
 
Early in the game, the Eagles spotted the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead through four innings and were unable to get a hit through five innings before the bats ignited in the bottom of the sixth. USI scored four times to take the lead, 4-3, in the sixth, highlighted by a two-run triple by sophomore pitcher/designated hitter Trent Robinson (Louisville, Kentucky) and a RBI-go-head single by sophomore first baseman Michael Conner (Moline, Illinois).
 
USI increased the margin to 6-3 with a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh. Junior catcher/second baseman Lucas McNew (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) drove in both seventh inning runs with a double to left field.
 
Truman would force extra innings with a three-run eighth, scoring all three without a hit and the aid of two USI errors. The score would remain tied 6-6 until the 11th and Archuleta’s game-winner.
 
On the mound, sophomore right-hander Carter Stamm (Jasper, Indiana) picked up his third win of the season in relief. Stamm (3-1) blanked the Bulldogs for three innings, allowing three hits and striking out four.
 
Robinson started and got the no-decision for the Eagles. The sophomore right-hander allowed three runs on seven hits, while striking out seven in five innings.
