Senator Braun Thanks Indiana National Guard

0

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday morning, Senator Mike Braun visited the Indiana National Guard stationed in Washington, D.C.

“I spent the morning having a great conversation and fielding many questions with the Indiana National Guard,” said Senator Mike Braun. “I am grateful for their service protecting the Capitol and Washington D.C. this week and thankful to them and their families for the sacrifices they have made for our nation.”

 

 

Eagles rally to defeat Flyers

0

University of Southern Indiana senior forward Emmanuel Little and junior guard Jelani Simmons combined for 35 second half points to lead the Screaming Eagles to a 74-65 victory over Lewis University Thursday evening in Romeoville, Illinois. USI, which increases its lead in the GLVC East Division with the win, sees its record to go 6-3 this season, while Lewis ends the evening 6-5.

The Screaming Eagles rained three-point field goals down on the Flyers to get the contest underway. Simmons kicked off the scoring with a three from the right corner before senior forward Josh Price hit a long-range jumper from the top of the key and senior guard/forward Clayton Hughes also deposited bomb from the right side in the opening minutes.

USI had the early 3-0 and 9-5 advantages in the first three minutes, but went cold for three minutes and allowed Lewis to build a 14-9 lead on a 9-0 run. The Eagles clawed their way back in and regained the advantage briefly when senior guard Mateo Rivera sank back-to-back free throws with 6:27 remaining the first 20 minutes.

After trading buckets and the leads, Lewis surged to a 38-30 lead at the break on an 11-2 run in the final five minutes of the half. Price led the Eagles in the scoring column during the opening half with 11 points.

The second half belonged to Little, Simmons and the Eagles.

Little, who had just two points in the opening half, scored the first nine Eagle points after halftime as USI narrowed the gap to six points, 45-39, with 15:26 on the clock. Price got the Eagles to within two, 45-43, with a bucket at 14:45 and a pair of free throws at 13:54 before Simmons went to work.

Simmons knotted the game at 45-45 with a layup at 12:56 and capped off an 18-6 USI surge at 12:02 by dropping in his third three-point bomb to give the Eagles the lead, 48-45.

The Eagles increased the lead to five points, 50-45, before the Flyers tied the game for the final time at the midway point of the second half, 50-50. Rivera broke the tie with 9:15 remaining when he sank a three-pointer and ignited an 11-3 surge that gave USI command of the contest.

Lewis, however, scored six quick points to close the margin to 61-59 with four minutes to play. Little coolly went to the stripe and sank four-straight free throws before Simmons drained a three and hit a pair of charity shots to put USI up, 70-63, as the Eagles began to close the door on the victory.

Little would hit two more free throws with 28 seconds left, followed by Simmons hitting another pair with 18 second on the clock to seal the 74-65 victory.

USI finished off the comeback by holding the Flyers to 27 percent from the field (10-of-27) and outscoring Lewis, 44-27, in the final 20 minutes. The Eagles also won the battle on the boards, 44-34.

Simmons and Little led three players in double-digits and only six players to score in the victory. Simmons, who was two points shy of tying a season-high, had with 18 second half points and finished with a game-high 24 on seven-of-13 from the field, a blistering six-of-10 from beyond the arc, and four-of-four from the line.

Little, who had 17 in the final half, followed with 19 points on five-of-14 from the field and nine-of-10 from the stripe. The senior forward also had nine rebounds to tie Price for the team-high.

Price rounded out the double-digit scorers with 17 points after posting 11 in the opening frame. He was seven-of-12 from the field, one-of-two from long range, and two-of-two from the line.

USI concludes the final portion of the road trip with a visit to the University of Illinois Springfield Saturday at 3 p.m.

Illinois Springfield saw its record rise to 6-5 after posting a 76-53 victory tonight over McKendree University at home. The Prairie Stars are 1-1 this week after starting the week with a 75-74 loss at home to the University of Indianapolis.

The Eagles hold a commanding 13-4 overall record versus Illinois Springfield, including the last three meetings. The Eagles were led in last year’s 71-62 win on the road by Price, who had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Little, who posted 11 points and 11 rebounds.

HOOSIER HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS: A Boatload of Knowledge in New Harmony

January 24 – January 30

The Week in Indiana History


mask

boat1826     Robert Dale Owen welcomed a “Boatload of Knowledge” to the young community of New Harmony, Indiana.  Led by geologist William Maclure, the passengers included many prominent artists, educators, and scientists.  Traveling from Pittsburgh on a boat named Philanthropist, they landed at Mount Vernon and traveled by wagon to New Harmony.

William Peet

1915     William Peet was born in Grandview, Indiana.  His family moved to Indianapolis where he attended Arsenal Technical High School and the John Herron Art Institute.  His talent took him to Hollywood where he was hired by Walt Disney.  Working as an animator, he helped create such classic movies as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Pinocchio, and Dumbo.  He went on to author and illustrate more than 30 children’s books.


rain1937     Eleven days of heavy rain created massive flooding along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.  Indiana cities along the Ohio set record flood levels, including Madison, Lawrenceburg, Aurora, and New Albany.  Two-thirds of Evansville and nearly all of Jeffersonville were under water.  The National Guard and members of the Works Progress Administration helped with cleanup.

radio1946     In an innovative joint broadcast, four Indianapolis radio stations helped raise funds for the fight against polio.  Governor Ralph Gates went on the air to introduce the program, which included Reid Chapman from WISH, Joe Pierson from WFBM, Everett Howard from WIBC, and Wally Nehrling from WIRE.  News was presented by Gilbert Forbes with sports reports from Tom Carnegie.

IUPUI

1969     The trustees of Indiana University and Purdue University announced plans to merge their Indianapolis campuses into one operation.  The school would be named Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis.  The decision was prompted by the desire of Mayor Richard G. Lugar to have a major state university in the capital city.


Katie Stam2009     Katie Stam of Seymour was crowned “Miss America.”  She was the first person from Indiana to win the honor.  In high school, she was a 4-H member and showed dairy cattle at the Jackson County Fair.  She graduated from the University of Indianapolis with a degree in communication.

Hoosier Quote of the Week

quote

   “In grammar school . . .  I always kept a small tablet in my desk and at every chance I would sneak a drawing into it.  Often I’d be surprised to find the teacher standing over me and my tablet would be taken away.  One particular teacher, however, snatched my tablet away just as the others had done and marched to the front of the room with it.  But then, turning to the class, she said, ‘I want you to see what William has been doing.’  With an amused smile, the teacher turned the pages for all to see.  After returning the tablet, she encouraged me, saying ‘I hope you will do something with drawing someday.'”

– – – William Peet (1915 – 2002)


Labyrinth

Did You Know?

     Among the many interesting and historic sites in the town of New Harmony is the Labyrinth.  Many people might call it a maze, but technically it is not.  A maze has multiple courses which do not necessarily lead to the middle.  A labyrinth has a single path.  As long as travelers keep going, they will eventually end up at the center.  The early citizens of New Harmony considered the labyrinth to be a place of reflection and meditation.  The path, always going forward, represented life’s journey, which is not always easy.

STATEHOOD DAY: Learn more about the three branches of State Government


ANSWERS:  1.  D      2. B      3. C         4.  A

Ag tech jobs grow in our state’s strong agriculture roots

0

Agriculture. Biology. Science and technology. All of these make up our growing agbioscience sector of our economy. While Indiana already ranks as the 10th largest agriculture state in the nation, we further positioned ourselves as a destination for ag and technology in 2020 with numerous announcements regarding job creation in the ag tech industry, which will add to our already strong agriculture heritage.

Last year, businesses in and outside of Indiana committed plans to create more than 31,300 Hoosier jobs. That includes more than 2,700 jobs in agribusiness. Our pro-business climate and high quality of life make Indiana the perfect destination for innovation and expansion, which is why more and more companies are selecting Indiana as their new home, rather than the increasingly rising challenges of Silicon Valley and the West Coast.

Overall, 282 companies made investments in our state last year, which only builds on our reputation as a hotbed for innovation. The record-breaking growth was not achieved by good fortune and will not be maintained without purpose and perseverance. Changes in finance, technology and workforce cannot be ignored. We must be vigilant as we work to provide the tools that will help each and every individual compete in this ever-changing economy.

Our state already ranks third in the nation in the industries of the future. That includes agbioscience, which already contributes $39 billion to our state economy and employs more than 77,000 Hoosiers. Both these numbers continue to climb.

That is why it is vital to supply these employers with the needed skilled workers to fill these jobs. Indiana’s Next Level Jobs program continues to offer Workforce Ready Grants and Employer Training Grants to train Hoosiers with new skills to pursue these positions and provide further training to workers already on the job. I encourage workers and employers to visit NextLevelJobs.org to learn more.

Agriculture has always been a big contributor to our state’s economy. As technology has reshaped the industry, Hoosiers have always adapted. With new businesses growing and starting in our state our agricultural roots grow stronger.

Statement on Vote to Confirm General Lloyd Austin as Secretary of Defense

0

On Friday, January 22, Senator Mike Braun voted to confirm retired General Lloyd Austin as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Defense.

“Defense is the most important duty of the federal government, and General Lloyd Austin comes highly respected by those who have served under his command and highly recommended by his fellow generals for the important role of Secretary of Defense. General Austin oversaw withdrawing 150,000 American troops from Iraq, and I hope he will draw on that experience as we continue to draw down America’s longest wars and return to building peace through strength.” – Senator Mike Braun
