Five-Star Urban Grants Award $1.7 Million To Help Restore Urban Waters and Streams

0

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), announced grants totaling $1.7 million under NFWF’s Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration Program. The grants support public-private partnerships that help restore wildlife habitat and urban waters across the country.

“EPA is pleased to continue our support for this innovative public-private partnership that encourages community stewardship and incentivizes local solutions to today’s environmental and public health challenges,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “These projects will help local communities improve water quality, restore wetlands and protect wildlife while creating additional recreational opportunities for the surrounding areas.”

“The Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration Program supports community partnerships that restore and enhance our nation’s fish and wildlife, while at the same time improving water quality and habitat for plants and animals,” said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and CEO of NFWF. “The 46 grants announced today will help local communities thrive by increasing resilience, improving green infrastructure and supporting the people and wildlife that call these places home.”

NFWF’s Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration Program supports projects that develop community stewardship of natural resources and address water quality issues in priority watersheds across the country. In total, the Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration Program is awarding 46 grants this year. EPA’s funding will go toward 24 of those projects in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Program wide, grantees have committed an additional $4.4 million in local project support, generating a total conservation investment of more than $6.1 million.

The Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration program supports community partnerships that conserve wildlife and restore river, wetland, riparian, forest and coastal ecosystems. Support for the 2019 grants are provided by the Wildlife Habitat Council, and major funding by EPA, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Fedex, Shell Oil Company, Southern Company and BNSF Railway.

The 2019 grant winners were selected from a highly competitive pool of more than 190 applications. A full list of 2019 projects are available here

Aces Men’s Basketball Announces Non-Conference Schedule

Aces Put Together Competitive Slate

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – When Walter McCarty took over the University of Evansville men’s basketball program, one of his main goals was to strengthen the Purple Aces schedule.  He continued to move in that direction with the unveiling of the Aces 2019 non-conference slate.

“Our main focus when we put together our non-conference schedule is to challenge our guys and prepare for conference play while putting our team in a position to earn a higher postseason seed,” McCarty said.  “I feel like this schedule provides us with some excellent challenges as we continue to build our program with an eye on the future.”

In its lone exhibition contest, the Aces take on crosstown rival USI on Monday, October 28 in the Vectren Community Classic.  The Screaming Eagles were 26-9 last season on their way to the Final Four of the Division II NCAA Tournament at the Ford Center.  The teams have not met since a 2012 exhibition contest.

“This is a great test right off the bat,” McCarty explained.  “USI made a great run in the NCAA Tournament last year and we are excited to face them in the preseason.”

Regular season play officially begins on Saturday, November 9 when Ball State visits the Ford Center for a 6 p.m. game.  The Cardinals won 16 games last year and split a home-and-home series with the Aces.  UE earned an 89-77 win at the Ford Center while BSU picked up an 82-72 win in Muncie.

The first road game of the season will see UE head to Rupp Arena to face the University of Kentucky on Nov. 12.  It will be the first meeting between the Aces and Wildcats.  It will be a homecoming for Coach McCarty, who played for the Wildcats and was a member of the 1996 NCAA National Championship Team.

“Our first two games will be a good challenge and give us a good idea of where we stand,” McCarty added.  “Ball State is a solid team who we are familiar with and played twice last season.  Being able to follow that up with a trip to Lexington will be very special; I have some great memories at UK and am excited to give our guys the chance to take them on.”

UE returns home on Nov. 14 to take on IU Kokomo.  Last season, they were 26-8 on their way to the Round of 16 in the Division II NAIA Tournament. Aces junior Devan Straub attended IU Kokomo before transferring to UE two seasons ago.  The game is an add-on to the Islands of the Bahamas Showcase.

Four days later, Evansville welcomes Southern Methodist to the Ford Center.  SMU is led by former Illinois State coach Tim Jankovich.  Last season, the Mustangs were 15-17.  It will be the first meeting between the schools.

Next up will be a trip to the Islands of the Bahamas Showcase.  The Aces open the tournament on Friday, Nov. 22 against East Carolina.  The Pirates and Aces last met in the 2013 CollegeInsider.com Tournament.  Evansville’s second opponent on the 23rd will be either UMKC or George Washington. In the final game, the opponent will come from the opposite side of the bracket and will include either Liberty, Morgan State, Rice or Milwaukee.

Following a short break over Thanksgiving week, UE takes to the road on Nov. 30 to face IUPUI inside Indiana Farmers Coliseum.  The Aces are 3-0 against the Jaguars, including an 89-62 win at the Ford Center in 2014.  Two homes games will follow for UE, starting with a December 4 contest against Western Illinois and a tilt against Miami Ohio on the 7th.  Evansville is a perfect 4-0 in its series against the Leathernecks while picking up 11 wins in 16 games versus the RedHawks.

A 2-game road trip will see Evansville take on a pair of foes that it faced at home last season.  On Dec. 14, UE matches up against Green Bay.  The Aces defeated the Phoenix by a final of 80-75 at the Ford Center in 2018, but Green Bay went on to enjoy a 21-17 season on their way to the championship game of the CIT.  Another tough road foe follows as the Aces head to Jacksonville State on December 16.  The Gamecocks finished the 2018-19 campaign with a 24-9 overall mark and a 15-3 record in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Non-conference play concludes on Saturday, Dec. 21 with an evening home game against Murray State.  The Racers enjoyed a 28-5 record last season while advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.  Evansville gave the Racers all they could handle last December inside the CFSB Center, dropping a hard-fought 66-64 game.

“This is a schedule our fans can really get behind,” McCarty said.  “We have home games against some great regional schools like Ball State and Murray State and mix that up with tough road games against the likes of Kentucky, IUPUI, Green Bay and Jacksonville State.  The trip to the Bahamas will also give us three games against top-notch competition.”

“We are very excited to have our schedule set and have the opportunity to test ourselves and be prepared for conference play.”

Otters named Frontier League Organization of the Year

0

To cap off the Evansville Otters’ 25th anniversary season celebration, Evansville was voted the Frontier League’s Organization of the Year, the league announced Thursday.

 

Voters in the league-wide process included general managers.

 

“It is both an honor and a pleasure to see that the Evansville Otters have won the 2019 Organization of the Year Award,” Frontier League Commissioner Bill Lee said. “They are the oldest team in the Frontier League, and it is fitting that they have earned this prestigious award in their 25th season. We send our congratulations to the Bussing Family, the entire organization and the fans.”

 

The Otters have been recognized with the Frontier League’s Organization of the Year for the first time since 1997. This year’s recognition is the first under the ownership of the Bussing Family.

 

“The award is a tribute to the hundreds of people who are committed, both directly and indirectly, to making Otters’ games compelling entertainment,” Otters owner Bill Bussing said. “It’s unfortunate that many of the people who are responsible for this award never get credit helping make a visit to Bosse Field a magical experience.”

 

“We are thrilled to be voted Organization of the Year by our peers in the Frontier League,” Otters President John Stanley said. “Everyone in our organization is very appreciative of the support we receive each year from our fans and sponsors.”

“The way the organization conducts itself starts at the top with the leadership, Bill Bussing and the Bussing Family, President John Stanley, our front office staff, and it trickles down from there,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said.

“This organization has a lot of good people who are working tirelessly to put this organization in a good spot. The leadership in this organization has done a great job having stability across the staff who work hard to make Evansville an incredible place to watch a game and come to play.”

The Otters are the longest-tenured, active franchise in the Frontier League, going back to 1995.

Evansville is on pace to surpass 100,000 in fan attendance during the 2019 campaign, and the franchise is making the push for their fourth consecutive postseason appearance and in pursuit of its third league championship.

AG Curtis Hill hosts crime prevention forum in Vigo County

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today hosted a crime prevention forum in Terre Haute as part of a listening tour that involves visiting 14 cities across the state of Indiana. The purpose of the tour is to facilitate conversations aimed at developing solutions to residents’ crime-related concerns. Terre Haute is the fourth stop on the listening tour with the next two stops planned to take place in Merrillville and Lafayette on September 10, 2019.

“It’s been extremely helpful touring the state to hear about the issues on the minds of residents in each community,” Attorney General Hill said. “Using information gathered at these events, we will keep working to make a positive difference in the lives of Hoosiers across Indiana.”

The Office of the Attorney General has collected and will continue to collect feedback at each forum and present its findings at the office’s 10th Annual Drug Abuse Symposium on Oct. 29-30, 2019. For more information about the 10th Annual Drug Abuse Symposium and to register, click the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/10th-annual-drug-abuse-symposium-tickets-47595282772.
