Over 50 percent of Indiana’s counties have dangerously high rates of radon gas, which is a naturally occurring, radioactive, odorless gas formed by radium decay in the soil.

Evansville College Teapot by Pat Sides

Evansville College employee Elsie Johnson (left) offers student Sue Gilmour (right) a cup of tea as she sits in a gigantic teacup in the college’s Administration Hall.

Photographed in 1947, the teacup, which was made of English moss rose china, measured 44 inches high. It arrived in Evansville from England in the 1880s as a present to the old Ichenhauser & Sons Company on NW First Street, which claimed to be the largest glass and china dealer in the Midwest.

Silas Ichenhauser was a trustee of Evansville College, and when the firm closed in 1927, he presented the teacup to the college, where it was displayed in the administration building. After it was damaged by “hurrying students,” it was stored in a closet on the top floor. 

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB”

21

“LEFT JAB AND RIGHT JAB”

“Right Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have two commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
Joe Biden and Ronald Reagan’s comments are mostly about issues of national interest.  The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give Mr. Biden and Mr. Reagan exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “Left Jab” is a liberal view and the “Right Jab is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments of the two gentlemen is free to do so.

Productive hitting gives Otters the series win over the Freedom

0

Productive hitting allowed the Evansville Otters to get key RBI knocks in a 4-2 win over the Florence Freedom Sunday, clinching a series win for the Otters.

Patrick McGuff provided a gritty, quality start on the mound for the Otters, beginning in the first inning.

McGuff worked around a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the first by picking up two strikeouts.

Offensively, the Otters struck first in the second inning.

Carlos Castro led off the inning with a double to right-centerfield.

Hunter Cullen moved Castro over to third with a groundout, and Rob Calabrese singled to score Castro, giving the Otters the first run of the game.

Later in the inning with runners on the corners, J.J. Gould smacked an RBI single to score Calabrese, giving the Otters a 2-0 lead.

In the top of the third, Taylor Bryant hit a sac fly to put Florence on the board with the score 2-1.

The top of the fourth was almost identical to the start of the top of the second.

Castro doubled, Cullen moved him to third on a groundout, and Calabrese doubled to score Castro to give the Otters a two-run lead. Then with runners on the corners, David Cronin ripped an RBI single to centerfield, scoring Calabrese to give the Otters a 4-1 lead.

The Freedom cut the lead in half when shortstop Austin Wobrock ripped an RBI double to score Ricky Ramirez Jr. in the bottom of the fifth.

There would be no more runs scored from that point on, as McGuff pitched a scoreless sixth, exiting the game with over 110 pitches thrown.

Patrick McGuff went six strong innings, surrendering two runs on seven hits while fanning nine.

Freedom starter Mike Castellani exited after the sixth inning as well, giving up four runs on nine hits and tossing three strikeouts.

Taylor Wright retired the side, ending the seventh inning with his 22nd strikeout of the year.

Abraham Almonte shut the door in the eighth, and Danny Hrbek earned his second save of the season with a scoreless ninth as Keith Grieshaber caught the final out of the game in left field to seal the win for the Otters.

Calabrese had two clutch RBIs, increasing his total to three for the series. Castro was three 3 for 4 at the plate with two runs scored.
