Learn how Decay Devils has been able to get a Rust Belt city interested in historical preservation for the first time in 40 years at the Indiana Arts Homecoming conference this October in Indianapolis.

A few years ago, the City of Gary sold the Union Station building for $10 to Decay Devils “who have cleaned the outside and have plans to haul away the garbage and put windows back in. Perhaps it could become a restaurant. Or a museum. Most of all, they say, it could serve as a sign that this city, which has lost more than half its population and struggles with violence and blight, is heading toward a long-awaited rebound.” (Mitch Smith, New York Times)

Andrea Ledbetter

Presenting will be one of the organization’s founding members, Andrea Ledbetter. In addition to her work with Decay Devils, Andrea is a photographer, writer, researcher, and registered nurse.

Space is limited so grab your ticket for the Indiana Arts Homecoming (October 24-25, 2019) and secure your spot to get connected with this incredible group!

When Should You Stop For A School Bus?

When Should You Stop For A School Bus?

by Wendy McNamara
Now that children are returning to school, all motorists must pay attention and stop for school buses.
When a bus is stopped with its flashing red lights activated and its stop arm extended, drivers are required to stop when approaching it from any direction. If motorists are on a highway that is divided by a barrier or unpaved area, they are required to stop if they are traveling in the same direction as the school bus. If there is no barrier, all lanes in all directions must stop.

While most drivers follow these traffic laws, there are some who are either unaware or disregard the law completely. In fact, Hoosier bus drivers report an average of more than 2,500 stop-arm violations each day.

I supported a new law to keep students safe and hold motorists accountable when they disregard a school bus stop-arm. Through this law, the penalty for injuring or killing someone as a result of recklessly passing a school bus has been increased, which could potentially mean larger fines and longer jail sentences for violators. A court can also suspend a violator’s driver’s license for up to a year.

Freedom win in 11 innings over Otters

0

Despite tying the game at three in the eighth inning Friday, the Evansville Otters couldn’t push across the go-ahead run as the Florence Freedom took the series opener 6-3 in 11 innings.

 

In a game that was a pitcher’s duel for most of the game, both offenses started to scratch and claw for runs in the latter part of the game.

 

Florence grabbed a 1-0 in the top of the fourth inning, which Evansville equalized in the bottom of the sixth when Rob Calabrese scored from second on a throwing error by Florence catcher Ryan Rinsky.

 

After that fourth inning run, Otters starter Matt Quintana had a stretch of retiring 10 of the 12 next batters he faced.

 

The Otters’ tying run in the sixth would be the only blemish on Scott Sebald’s line for Florence. He went six innings, allowing one run on four hits. He would earn a no-decision.

 

The Otters would take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh on a bases-loaded hit by pitch to Keith Grieshaber and scoring Tanner Wetrich.

 

Quintana would be pulled in the middle of the eighth inning, giving way to reliever Abraham Almonte. Quintana pitching 7.1 innings, allowing three runs on three hits and struck out seven. He took a no-decision.

 

With two men on and two outs, Isaac Bernard hit a two-RBI double off Almonte, giving the Freedom a 3-2 lead.

 

The Otters tied the game at three in the bottom of the eighth as Elijah MacNamee scored on a pinch-hit infield single by Dakota Phillips.

 

The game remained tied at three until the 11th inning, forcing the international tie-breaker rule to come into effect.

 

With Brandon Pugh starting at second base, Austin Wobrock reached base on an error and Pugh advanced to third.

 

Connor Crane lined a two-RBI triple to give the Freedom a 5-3 lead off Otters reliever Cam Opp.

 

Luis Pintor followed with an RBI single, giving Florence a 6-3 advantage.

 

The Freedom and Jared Cheek retired the Otters in the bottom of the 11th inning to get the series-opening win.

 

Cheek got the win after going 2.1 innings in relief, moving his record to 1-1.

 

Cam Opp would be given the loss, dropping his record to 4-2.

 

Game two of the series will be Saturday at 6:35 p.m. from Bosse Field.
