Side Nut Club Fall Festival begins Monday

0

The 98th annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival begins Monday, October 07, 2019. The week long event has been an Evansville tradition since 1921. The festival occupies over four city blocks and will feature food, rides, music, pageants, contests and parades.

Once again the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office will maintain a tent at the intersection of W. Franklin Street and N. 11th Avenue next to the lost and found booth. At this location, sheriff’s deputies will be passing out yellow wristbands to children. The underside of the wristband can display a parent or guardians’ phone number, which may be used to reunite a child with a missing parent. We also have a supply of reflective wristbands to help keep kids visible during the evening hours.

Sheriff’s Office personnel will also be on hand to speak to the public about our recent recruitment efforts. The Sheriff’s Office is currently accepting applications for the position of Confinement Officer. Interested potential applicants are encouraged to stop by the Sheriff’s Office tent for additional information.

The Evansville Police Department will be providing law enforcement services throughout the festival grounds and will have a mobile command center stationed at W. Franklin Street and N. 10th Avenue.

The Sheriff’s Office offers the following safety tips for your visit to the Fall Festival:

  • When you arrive at the festival, identify and point out officials your child can approach if they become separated from you. Describe the sheriff’s deputy and police officer uniforms, the Nut Club member hats and the fire official uniforms so your child knows who is safe to approach.
  • Nothing takes the place of your supervision. Younger children can become distracted with all of the sights, sounds, smells, and crowds at the Fall Festival.
  • If your child is old enough to be out of your eyesight, make sure they take a friend with them. There is safety in numbers (as well as more fun to be had). Remember to have your child check in on a regular basis. Identify where you will meet them and what time they should be there.
  • If you become separated from your child, notify a sheriff’s deputy or police officer as soon as possible.
  • Heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic will create an increased risk of accidents. Take your child by the hand when walking to and from the festival. Use caution when leaving the sidewalk. Consider using a paid parking lot to support a worthy cause.

Stop by the Sheriff’s Office Fall Festival tent, where you can talk to a sheriff’s deputy and pick up a free munchie map. You can also enter for a chance to win a 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide motorcycle from the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association (ISA). The motorcycle will be on display at the Sheriff’s Office tent all week long. Proceeds will benefit the families of deputies and officers killed in the line of duty as well as the ISA’s Youth Leadership Camps and Scholarship Program.

Sheriff Dave Wedding stated, “We want everyone who visits the Fall Festival this year to have a safe, fun and memorable time. Unfortunately every year a few people try to ruin the experience for the rest of us. Please report suspicious or illegal activity to law enforcement so that the situation can be quickly addressed.”

Southwest Indiana Hosts Life Chain

0

The Right to Life of Southwest Indiana will host its annual Life Chain Prayer event on Sunday, October 6, 2019 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. starting at Brinker’s Jewelers parking lot located at 111 S. Green River Road in Evansville.

Held on National Life Chain Sunday, Life Chain is interfaith and welcomes everyone who upholds human Life from conception to death. While grateful for events that celebrate Life, National Life Chain Sunday is a time for silent public witness and solemn reflection on the grave injustice of legal child killing and the resultant cultural depravities. Given to prayer and meditation, participants space themselves for more mindful self-assessment and do not respond to either blessing or barb from passing motorists.

Free signs will be distributed beginning at 1:00 p.m. and hot dogs, chips, cookies & water will be provided. Prayer Chain will commence from 1:30 -2:30 p.m. along Green River Road and lawn chairs, umbrellas and strollers are welcome.

Senator Braun Releases Statement Regarding President Trump’s Historic Deal Regarding The Renewable Fuel Standard

0

U.S. Senator Mike Braun, who was a strong advocate on behalf of Hoosier farmers released, the following statement regarding President Trump’s agreement on biofuels.

“At my recent townhall meeting in Franklin, Indiana, this issue was top of mind for Hoosier farmers and producers.  I worked closely with USDA and the Trump Administration to make sure those concerns were realized here in Washington. This is why I am proud to announce that President Trump kept his promise to Hoosier farmers to ensure the RFS is implanted in a manner consistent with Congressional intent,” said U.S. Senator Mike Braun.  “This agreement to expand domestic energy production is a win for Hoosier farmers, and it comes on the heels of a year-round E-15 decision.  Hoosiers will not forget that President Trump is in their corner.”

BACKGROUND …

Trump announces deal to boost demand for ethanol, in boon for farmers.  “The Trump administration moved Friday to quell complaints from farmers — a key voting constituency — by increasing federal mandates for production of corn-based ethanol and biodiesel.  President Trump has sought for weeks to broker a compromise between ethanol supporters and the oil industry over the Renewable Fuel Standard. … Farmers have criticized the administration’s policy of exempting some small oil refineries from RFS requirements to blend billions of gallons of corn ethanol into gasoline, which they argue are eroding the market for ethanol and the corn used to make it.  The Trump administration has approved waivers almost four times as often as the previous administration. Farmers’ anger peaked when the EPA announced in August that it exempted 31 oil refineries from 2018 requirements to use renewable fuel.  In a series of proposed changes to the RFS, EPA says it will issue a notice for public comment on expanding biofuel requirements so that more than 15 billion gallons of conventional ethanol be blended into the nation’s fuel supply beginning in 2020.  EPA said it will also propose a rule to streamline labeling and remove other barriers to the sale of E15, a gasoline fuel blend that is 15% ethanol.”  (The Washington Examiner, 10/04/19)

Fall Foliage For Wesselman Woods Nature And Burdette Park

0

Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve

The largest old-growth urban forest in the United States is in the heart of the city and it offers some of the best views of fall foliage in Evansville. But what makes it truly special is the nearly 5 miles of trails you can walk throughout the nature preserve.
You’ll pass under canopies created by the trees and over bridges scattered with fallen leaves. It will be hard to believe you’re on our city’s bustling east side and not in one of our country’s most famed national forests.

Burdette Park

Is the west side the best side for taking in the fall foliage? Fans of Burdette Park would answer yes, and you probably would too after spending the day taking in the 180-acres of scenic rolling hills.
But why just stay for the day? Wind down with an overnight getaway at one of the park’s chalets or full hook up sites for RVs. Some adventurers even choose to pitch a tent and camp overnight, enjoying the spectacular views from sunrise to sunset.
