Otters offense arrives late in one-run defeat

0
Pearl, Miss. – The Evansville Otters comeback attempt came up short as they fell in the series middle game to the Mississippi Mud Monsters, 3-2.

The Otters fell behind after giving up two runs in the second and one run in the third as the Mud Monsters hurried to a 3-0 lead.

Adrian Montilva made his first professional start for the Otters, giving up two hits and a walk in the second inning that led to two runs. A lead off error ended up leading to the third Mud Monsters’ run. He finished his four innings with two strikeouts and two walks.

The Mississippi starter,who was also making his first professional start,held the Otters hitless through six innings, only scattering three walks in that time.

Joan Gonzalez took to the mound following Montilva and faced the minimum in the fifth and sixth, going six up and six down.

Pavin Parks kicked off the seventh with a leadoff triple and JT Benson followed with a hard hit ball that forced an error, allowing Benson to reach safely and Parks to score. Following a pitching change, Benson would steal second and score on a Keenan Taylor single to cut the lead to 3-2.

Grif Hughes and Alex Valdez shut the door to finish the game for the Otters. However, the Otters’ bats failed to tie the game.

Evansville looks to avoid the sweep on Sunday, with game three in Pearl starting at 2:00 p.m. CT.

The Word in 120 by Jerome Stewart, Job and Trust.

Job and Trust.

In the book of Job; for a while he had lost everything important to him. But he never gave up on trusting in the LORD. Not one time! It cannot be emphasized enough that the God Job trusted in, is the exact same God today. Job would once again be blessed bountifully by the LORD, with more than he had lost. In chapter  42 vs. 12 the bible says; “the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning.” In the beginning, Satan was involved and his goal was to induce Job to  curse God. He failed! After Job had lost his wealth, after his home was destroyed, after all 10 of his children had died, after fire destroyed his sheep and some of his  servants were killed in a raid, Job never once cursed the LORD. Early in chapter 1 vs. 21 Job said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return  there, the LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; Blessed is the name of the LORD.” In chapter 2 vss. 4 thru 6; Satan said to the LORD; “Skin for skin! Yes all  that a man has he will give for his life. But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” And the LORD said  to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.” Vs. 7 says; “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from  the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” Later Job had to man up when it came to a recommendation he received from his wife. Remember they had lost  everything! Vss. 9 and 10 the bible says; “Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!” But he said to her, “You speak as  one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. Chapter 13  vs. 15: Job displayed tremendous respect for the LORD. He said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” Although Job questioned the wisdom of the LORD, and  had to be put in his place, he never once cursed the LORD. Job had three so-called friends giving him reasons as to why he was being punished, but Job did not trust  in his friends, he trusted in the LORD! Trials and tribulations are a part of life. They are faith testers. Which begs the question? Whom do you place your trust in?

$416,350 federal grant funds available for Indiana specialty crop industry

0

NDIANAPOLIS (May 15, 2025) –  The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), is seeking project proposals from Indiana’s specialty crop sector for funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.

“Hoosier farms feature more than just corn and soybeans,” Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture said. “Indiana offers more. We’re also a top producing state of watermelons, mint, cantaloupe, and tomatoes. Our specialty crop farmers, researchers, manufacturers, and others are encouraged to apply for this funding provided by USDA through our Indiana Department of Agriculture, and we look forward to the great impact these projects will make on our state.”

The USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program offers federal funding annually to state departments of agriculture to support their specialty crop industries. This year, Indiana will be allocating $416,350 to selected projects.

Eligible projects must enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops in Indiana, defined as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, horticulture and nursery crops. For a full list of eligible specialty crops please click here.

Funding will not be awarded to projects that benefit a particular commercial product, or provide a profit to a single organization, institution or individual. Each project must identify at least one of the USDA performance measures that specifically demonstrate the project’s impact on enhancing the competitiveness of eligible specialty crops.

ISDA is seeking projects that address the following issues: enhancing food safety; improve the capacity of all entities in the specialty crop distribution chain to comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act; invest in specialty crop research; develop new/improved seed varieties and specialty crops; improve pest and disease control methods; increase child and adult nutrition knowledge and consumption of specialty crops; improve efficiency and reduce costs of distribution systems; and/or, create sustainable long-term environmental outcomes.

Applications are currently open and are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on June 4, 2025. Proposals must be submitted online through the Indiana State Department of Agriculture’s Grants Management System. Indiana Specialty Crop Block Grant application resources are located on ISDA’s Grants and Funding

Vanderburgh County Announces 2026 Budget Constraints

Evansville, IN  – Due to anticipated reductions in tax revenue resulting from Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Vanderburgh County Commissioners and County Council have announced that the 2026 county budget will face significant limitations.

Department heads have been informed that budget increase requests for 2026 will not be considered, with the only likely exceptions being for previously signed contractual obligations.

This proactive measure is necessary to maintain financial stability in light of the revenue shortfalls expected under SB1.

Vanderburgh County remains focused on responsible stewardship of public funds and appreciates the cooperation of all departments and community partners during this time of adjustment.
