 THUNDERBOLTS ANNOUNCE 2021-22 LEADERSHIP CORE

 Evansville, Ind: The Evansville Thunderbolts Professional Hockey Team of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) and Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Bes have announced the Thunderbolts’ leadership core for the 2021-22 season, naming Austin Plevy the 7th captain in team history, as well as appointing Hayden Hulton and Brandon Lubin to assistant captain roles.

Plevy returns to the Thunderbolts following a stint with the Knoxville Ice Bears during the Thunderbolts’ 2020-21 pause.  In 2019-20, Plevy became the first player in league history to be awarded both Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player honors simultaneously, after scoring 17 goals and 65 points in only 45 games. This will be Plevy’s third season in the SPHL, allowing for a natural progression into the captaincy role.

Hulton is described as one of the hardest-working players in all three zones.  His history of leadership combined with a strong full season of professional experience led to the decision to promote Hulton to the assistant captain role.  Hulton tallied 3 goals and 12 points, while also playing in all 46 games in the 2019-20 season.

Lubin, the only player in franchise history who will skate in each of the Thunderbolts’ first five seasons, has tallied 12 goals and 46 points in 127 games as a member of the Thunderbolts and is tied for the franchise lead in games played.  Lubin will also assume the role of a playing assistant coach and will have a major role in mentoring and guiding the Thunderbolts’ defense this season.

The Thunderbolts open the 2021-22 home season on Friday, October 22nd, hosting the Quad City Storm at 7:00 pm.  For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), buy online at EvansvilleThunderbolts.com or buy in person at the Ford Center Box Office.

“Northwestern poses a very stiff test for our first Big Ten Conference dual meet the season,” IU head swimming coach Ray Looze said. “They are particularly strong protecting their home pool. It has been many years since we have competed in Evanston, and we look forward to the challenge.”

“We are looking forward to the competition with Northwestern this weekend,” Indiana head diving coach Drew Johansen said. “We have three freshmen competing on the men’s side and six of our veteran women heading to Chicago. The team has already qualified six divers for the postseason, and we are focused on adding more this weekend as we take on Northwestern.”

LAST TIME OUT: IUSD OPENS SEASON WITH THREE WINS

In its first meet of the 2021-22 season, Indiana came away with three wins against reigning SEC Champion Kentucky and Indiana State at home in Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center on October 6. The IU men won every race to defeat Kentucky, 171-115, as the women’s team pulled out a 162-138 win over Kentucky and a dominant 253-47 performance over ISU.

Both Indiana teams dominated the 400-Yard Freestyle Relay. The men’s quartet of Rafael Miroslaw, Jack Franzman, Van Mathias and Tomer Frankel posted a 2:56.44, the top time in the country. For the women, Anna Peplowski, Ashley Turak, Ella Ristic and Elizabeth Broshears finished in 3:21.59, the nation’s second-best mark.

Three IU swimmers and six divers qualified for postseason in the season-opening meet. Four of those divers, Andrew Capobianco, Quinn Henninger, Tarrin Gilliland and Anne Fowler, qualified in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives.

Senior Gabriel Fantoni and Miroslaw each won three races to lead IU. Fantoni’s 46.43 time in the 100-Yard Backstroke is the nation’s fastest to-date.

1852     Hoosiers attended the first Indiana State Fair.  It was held in Indianapolis at Military Park.  In subsequent years, the fair was moved to several cities, including Lafayette, Madison, New Albany, Fort Wayne, and Terre Haute.  The present Indianapolis site on East 38th Street was established in 1892.
easel

1912     Indianapolis artist Christian Schrader hosted an exhibit of his drawings.  Born in 1840, he had a keen memory of what he had seen growing up in the early capital city.  His sketches offer a unique and important view of some of the city’s original buildings, along with the rutted, muddy streets and simple wooden fences that defined life within the original mile square.  
bank1933     The John Dillinger gang staged what is considered to be their biggest robbery.  They got away with nearly $75,000 in cash from the Central National Bank in Greencastle.  It was one of several bank robberies committed by Dillinger and fellow convicts in the weeks after they had escaped from the state prison in Michigan City.   Pictured:  The Central National Bank building in Greencastle as it appears today. 
radio1954     The Regency TR-1, the first transistor radio, began production at the company plant on Pendleton Pike in Indianapolis.  Selling at $50, the radio was expensive for its time but caught on quickly because of its small “pocket size.”  Containing four germanium transistors, the little radio operated on a 22.5 volt battery which offered 20 hours of listening.  The first models came in four colors:  black, ivory, mandarin red, and cloud grey.
clowes

1963     Clowes Hall opened on the campus of Butler University.  Designed by Evans Woollen and John M. Johansen, the theater is one of the premier performing arts venues in the Midwest.  The structure is distinguished by its exposed limestone and concrete slabs, a feature of the Brutalist style of architecture.  The building is named in honor of Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, a former director of biochemical research at Eli Lilly and Company.

shuttle 1989     Space Shuttle Atlantis was launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The commander of the spacecraft was Purdue graduate Donald Williams, born in Otterbein, Indiana.  During the mission, the crew launched the Galileo space probe which went on to study the planet Jupiter and its moons

HOOSIER  QUOTE  OF  THE  WEEK

 quote

“Growing up in a small Indiana town, where I lived across the street from the courthouse and knew everyone, and being a doctor’s wife at Bremen, were good training for the wife of a politician.  You become accustomed to interrupted meals and unpredictable and late hours, and you develop an extra degree of empathy for people.”

– – –Elizabeth Ann Steinmann Bowen (1918 – 1981)

Her husband, Dr. Otis Bowen, was the 44th Governor of Indiana

Did You Know?

     When Christian Schrader was a little boy growing up in Indianapolis in the 1850s, he dreamed of being an artist.  As he grew older, his artistic talent expressed itself not on a canvas but in porcelain.  From 1872 to 1908, Schrader’s Fine China Shop was a fixture on Washington Street.  When Schrader retired, he turned to his sketch pencil.  A sharp memory of his childhood in the city led to hundreds of images.  He drew the city block by block, illustrating 178 buildings in the Indianapolis of 1850.  His work includes the old Statehouse, the first Marion County Courthouse, the first firehouse, the governor’s mansion, and the homes of such distinguished citizens as Harvey Bates, Jacob Cox, and James Blake.   Pictured:  Shrader’s sketch of the Market Street entrance of the old Statehouse.

Find Ghosts Throughout Posey, Vanderburgh Counties

by Wendy McNamara

It’s almost Halloween, and those looking for a good ghost story don’t need to look any further than the historic homes and businesses in Posey and Vanderburgh counties. Several places are rumored to be haunted, and visitors seeking a spooky sighting can take guided ghost tours.

Evansville boasts a number of historic buildings, which some say are home to ghosts. Visitors to the Manor House (pictured right), built-in 1868, will not only enjoy the impressive architecture but also might spot an apparition — a woman in black floating up a staircase.

The Willard Library shares sightings on its website of The Grey Lady, an apparition first reported in the late 1930s by a custodian. Unexplained occurrences include the smell of perfume and hearing strange noises. The library at times schedules public tours, sells merchandise, and shares live cam videos for ghost hunters.
