Senator Braun Announces Second Week of ‘Solutions Tour’

     Last week, Senator Mike Braun embarked on a two-week Solutions Tour to listen to Hoosiers’ thoughts about lowering prescription drug prices, lowering the cost of higher education, and enacting policies that spur economic growth.

.

     “In 100 days, I’ve been able to work with President Trump to lower healthcare prices, confirm conservative judicial nominees, and assist in draining the swamp by working to end congressional pensions,” said U.S. Senator Mike Braun. “My Solutions Tour will give me an opportunity to listen to Hoosiers’ thoughts about my work for them and their solutions for fixing Washington and keeping our economy growing.”

Below are events that are open to the press for the second week of his tour:

AG Curtis Hill Successfully Defends DNR’s Right to Hold Controlled Deer Hunts at State Parks

0

In a legal victory for Attorney General Curtis Hill and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Indiana Court of Appeals on Tuesday affirmed DNR’s authority to hold controlled deer hunts at state parks.

DNR has held controlled deer hunts at parks and other public lands for years to manage overpopulated deer herds, which become susceptible to disease and starvation. Overpopulated deer herds also may affect other species by upsetting a region’s ecological balance. Emergency rule-making provisions enable DNR to act quickly in specific circumstances to address such fluctuating factors.

In 2017, a public interest organization called the Center for Wildlife Ethics Inc. went to court to challenge DNR’s authority to hold such hunts. Among other things, the organization claimed in its lawsuit that DNR violated state law by temporarily closing parks to most visitors during the controlled hunts.

“Indiana law gives DNR the authority to control admission to its state properties and to conduct appropriate management of wildlife resources both within and outside the boundaries of public lands,” Attorney General Hill said. “I am pleased the court has rightly recognized DNR’s prerogatives in this regard.”

DNR Director Cameron Clark described the court decision as a victory for DNR’s ability to effectively mitigate the adverse effects of deer overpopulation.

“We are pleased the Court of Appeals upheld the trial court ruling and years of rule-making by the DNR,” Director Clark said.

University of Evansville Commits more than $1 million in Scholarships for High School Changemaker

0

The University of Evansville reaffirmed its commitment to a culture of changemaking at a press conference today as UE president Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz announced more than $1 million in scholarships for winners of the annual High School Changemaker Challenge starting in 2019. Members from the top six winning teams who choose UE as their college destination will each receive 4-year scholarships to attend UE as listed below:

  • 1st place team: Full tuition
  • 2nd place team: $26,000 per year
  • 3rd place team: $22,000 per year
  • Three runner-up teams: $18,000 per year

Students who are eligible for more than one UE scholarship will receive the one of highest value.

In years past, members of the first place team received full tuition while second place received $5,000, third place received $2,500, and fourth place received $1,000 toward UE tuition.

“Changemaking is engrained in the UE culture and we provide the support to take ideas from concept to reality,” said Pietruszkiewicz. “Our Ace Care pro-bono physical therapy clinic and our record breaking Habitat for Humanity Barn Blitz are just two ways that Aces are positively impacting our community.”

UE’s High School Changemaker Challenge is designed to motivate young people to take a leading role in identifying and solving challenges in the world around them through innovation and creativity. Projects from previous competitions can be seen in the city of Evansville, including the Upgrade Bike Share stations and the solar-powered CommuniTree at Mickey’s Kingdom Park downtown. Projects still in the development stages include a musical swing set, an emergency response app, an anti-bullying board game, and many more.

“The increased scholarships will allow more students access to UE’s incredible network of support in order to make lasting change in our community and the world,” said Shane Davidson, UE’s vice president for enrollment and marketing.

Also new this year, teams can be made up of any combination of high school-aged students from any school-public, private, homeschooled, etc. Coaches are no longer required to be faculty members, and teams will be identified based on their project, not their high school. Teams can also come from anywhere in the country or the world as long as they can be physically present for the on-campus competition.

“As an Ashoka U campus, we believe in the ‘everyone a changemaker’ philosophy and want as many students as possible to have the means to make positive change,” said Pietruszkiewicz.

Registration is now open, and more information can be found at www.evansville.edu/cc-hs. Video submissions are due by Monday, September 9. The top 20 finalists will be notified by Friday, September 13 of their advancement to the final on-campus pitch to be held on Wednesday, October 23 on the UE campus.

Eagles look to capture GLVC title in final regular-season weekend

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball looks to capture the Great Lakes Valley Conference regular-season title this weekend when it travels to Romeoville, Illinois, to take on Lewis University Friday at 1 p.m. and No. 13 University of Indianapolis Sunday at 11 a.m. (CDT).

Pending conference office approval, USI’s GLVC doubleheader with Lewis is being pushed to Friday at 1 p.m. due to rain in the forecast in Romeoville on Saturday. Sunday’s conference twinbill in Indianapolis remains unchanged.

Both doubleheaders will be aired on the GLVC Sports Network, while live stats and video can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

The Screaming Eagles (31-15, 17-5 GLVC) enter the final weekend of the regular season in a tie with Indianapolis atop the GLVC standings. USI can win the GLVC regular-season title and claim the top seed in next week’s GLVC Softball Championship Tournament by sweeping the weekend.

USI slipped to No. 22 in the latest NFCA Top 25 Coaches’ Poll and to No. 4 in the latest NCAA Division II Midwest Region rankings. The Eagles were joined by Indianapolis (No. 13 in the NFCA Top 25 and No. 2 in the regional ranking) in both polls, while the University of Missouri-St. Louis jumped two spots to No. 3 in the latest regional ranking.

The Tritons also are third in the GLVC standings, sitting a game back of USI and Indianapolis. Other GLVC teams in the regional ranking include No. 7 University of Illinois Springfield and No. 10 Truman State University.

Grand Valley State University, ranked No. 10 in the NFCA Top 25, held its ground with the top spot in the region ranking, while fellow Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference schools Wayne State University and Ashland University were ranked No. 5 and No. 6, respectively. Great Midwest Athletic Conference members Ohio Dominican University (No. 8) and Trevecca Nazarene University (No. 9) rounded out the latest regional ranking.

ADOPT A PET

0

Polly is a female black Lab/Shepherd mix. She has tons of energy and would be eager to please an active family! She is food-motivated and loves to play, so she’d be highly trainable. She has also gone on plenty of Cardio for Canines and Mutt’s Morning Out outings, and done fine around the other dogs while out. (Definitely a cat-free and rabbit-free home though.) Polly’s adoption fee is $110 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines, and more. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption

Aces get set for mid-week re-match with UT-Martin

0
The University of Evansville baseball team hits the road for a mid-week non-conference rematch with Tennessee-Martin Wednesday night in Martin Tennessee.

While coming off a tough weekend, which saw the Aces drop two of three games to in-state arch-rival Indiana State, UE remains in the race for a spot in the NCAA tournament, currently ranked 35th in college baseball’s RPI. Head Coach Wes Carroll’s squad is currently 19-17 overall and 6-3 in Missouri Valley Conference play. UT-Martin comes into the mid-week match-up with a record of 15-24, after dropping two of three games to Ohio Valley Conference rival Austin Peay.

Last time the Aces met the Skyhawks, Evansville took a 6-3 decision at Charles H. Braun Stadium on April 3, as freshman relief pitcher Sam Steimel earned his first collegiate victory. Another first-year player, outfielder A.J. Fritz highlighted the UE offensive attack, hitting a solo home run to cap the Evansville scoring that night.

The Aces will send out senior left-hander Alex Weigand to face the Skyhawks Wednesday night. Weigand, who has bounced back and forth between the starting rotation and the bullpen, comes into this outing with a record of 2-4, with a 5.40 ERA. Freshman righty Seth Petry (2-1, 4.95 ERA), will get his second crack at the Evansville lineup. Last time they crossed paths, Petry gave up two runs on two hits and two walks in 3,1 innings of work.

First pitch from Skyhawk Baseball Field is at 6 pm.

Bicknell Police Chief Arrested for Battery and Official Misconduct

0

April 23, Indiana State Police initiated a criminal investigation after being contacted by the Knox County Prosecutor’s Office regarding an incident that occurred at their office involving Bicknell Police Chief Terry Stremming.

On Monday, April 22, a Bicknell police officer went to the Knox County Prosecutor’s Office and turned over a laptop that possibly contained evidence of officer misconduct on another Bicknell police officer.

Tuesday morning, April 23, at approximately 8:30, Stremming arrived at the prosecutor’s office and allegedly demanded the laptop back into his possession and attempted to remove it from a desk. Rose Archer, 51, an investigator from the prosecutor’s office, put her hands on the laptop to prevent Stremming from taking it. Stremming allegedly put his hands on Archer and attempted to push her out of the way. Stremming left the prosecutor’s office without the laptop.

Indiana State Police arrested Stremming last night at approximately 7:00 p.m. at the Bicknell Town Hall without incident. He was taken to the Knox County Jail where he was released after posting bond.

Arrested and Charges:

  • Terry Stremming, 47, Bicknell, IN
  1. Official Misconduct, Level 6 Felony
  2. Battery, Level 6 Felony

Investigating Officer: Sergeant Greg Ashby, Indiana State Police
