Otters set franchise record in win against Traverse City

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters made history in a 17-0 win Tuesday against the Traverse City Beach Bums by setting a franchise record and tying a Frontier League mark by scoring 15 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Evansville’s Luc Rennie allowed one hit and struck out four Beach Bums through three innings.

With the game still scoreless in the fourth, the Otters took off.

Nick Walker singled to lead off and stole second base. Christopher Riopedre singled to center field, scoring Walker to give the Otters a 1-0 lead. Dane Phillips’ two-run RBI single made it a 3-0 Evansville advantage.

John Schultz made it 5-0 after an RBI double to left field before Alejandro Segovia singled and Chris Sweeney walked. The Otters batted around the lineup without recording an out.

Walker was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, giving the Otters a 7-0 lead. Riopedre’s bases-clearing double pushed the Evansville lead to 10-0. Gardner and Schultz had back-to-back RBI singles, increasing the Otters advantage to 12-0.

Evansville batted around a second time as Chris Sweeney drove in two runs on an RBI double. Walker extended the inning with an RBI single that scored Brandon Soat, who pinch-ran for Schultz.

The bottom of the fourth saw 20 Otters at the plate and provided Evansville with a 15-0 lead.

The Otters surpassed the single-inning run total of 10 that was set on July 7 against Joliet. The 15-run inning also tied the Frontier League record for runs in a single-inning. Earlier this season, Southern Illinois scored 15 runs at Normal and the Miners also scored their 15 runs in the fourth.

Evansville tallied two unearned runs in the fifth, pushing the lead to 17-0.

Rennie bounced back from a loss in his last start to win Tuesday. He pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out seven, earning his fourth win of the season.

The Otters and Beach Bums play again at Bosse Field on Wednesday with first pitch at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday is Deaconess Heart Night and 1950s/1960s poster giveaway. Personnel from Deaconess will be on hand to increase heart health awareness. The posters are part of a season-long series of poster giveaways that highlight the history of Bosse Field.

Juveniles Arrested Overnight after Shooting Up Homes in Melody Hills

0
On Tuesday, July 25, 2017 the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Saint George Road and Oak Hill Road after receiving multiple 911 calls concerning shots fired.

Around 1:15 AM the Evansville-Vanderburgh Central Dispatch Center began receiving 911 calls from residents reporting gunfire in the the area. A total of 10 calls were received. Deputies tracked footprints in the grass, which led to a residence in the area where several juveniles were located.

An investigation revealed that two of the juveniles had fired a .357 revolver into two different residences, one located on Rode Road and one on Memory Lane. The projectiles penetrated the wall of a home, with one bullet being found in a living room cabinet.

The juveniles are believed to have selected the homes at random. The investigation was aided by the fact that the juveniles recorded themselves with a cellphone while firing the handgun at the homes. Both were interviewed, arrested and then transported to the Youth Care Center pending an appearance in juvenile court. The investigation is still open and ongoing at this time.

ARRESTED:

Juvenile Male, 16, of Evansville. Criminal Recklessness as a Level 5 Felony, Criminal Recklessness as a Level 6 Felony, Criminal Mischief as a Class A Misdemeanor, Possession of Alcohol by a Minor as a Class C Misdemeanor

IS IT TRUE that the Evansville City Councilwoman from the Third Ward, Anna Hargis has announced her resignation from the City Council?…the Evansville City Council will now be without a Certified Public Accountant for the first time since former Councilman John Friend decided not to seek re-election?…competent financial analysis is something the Evansville City Council does not seem to listen to with or without a CPA on the dais so Councilwoman Hargis may have been wasting her talent on the tax and spend cast of elected officials anyway?…Hargis will be moving on to bigger and better things like managing other people’s money at Merrill Lynch as a financial advisor?…that sort of takes advantage of the time spent on the City Council where all that happens is taking money from one person and giving it to others in one form or another?…at least the role of financial advisor has a profit motive involved and the accountability of customer disappointment if the profits are not realized?…we certainly wish the University of Evansville graduate a long and successful career as a financial advisor and hope to God that Wayne Parke and the Vanderburgh County Republican Party appoints someone who has the brains to do analysis and the chutzpah to keep the tax and spend club known as the Evansville City Council from driving the city into bankruptcy?

IS IT TRUE that the founding general manager of the downtown Doubletree Hotel has tendered his resignation but has not yet disclosed where he will be going?…this is not a sign of any trouble in paradise as start-up general managers and plain old every day general managers are cut from a different cloth?…we do understand by virtue of a text message from Mole #12 that there was some trouble in paradise last Saturday night at the Doubletree when 3 guests were trapped in an elevator on the fourth floor and had to be extricated because the elevator which had lost its ability to stop where it was supposed to?…we have gotten several reports of growing pains over the course of the last 5 months since the Doubletree opened?…we are confident with the start-up general manager leaving town that everything at the downtown Evansville Doubletree will be utopian and free unicorn rides will be available on the proposed 10th floor rooftop martini bar?

IS IT TRUE that Evansville’s Olympic Gold Medalist Lilly King has made news again?…the former Reitz Lady Panther has broken the world record in the 100 meter backstroke at the World Championships in elegant form as she did last summer at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics?…the City County Observer and all of Evansville is very proud of what this likable young lady has accomplished in the pool?

IS IT TRUE that Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump finally got a win yesterday with the passage of the bill that will allow discussions on the floor of the Senate regarding what to do about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known in some circles as the Unaffordable Care Act for its over 100% rise in insurance premiums, sky high deductibles and oppressive co-payments?…people have not forgotten that the ACA was born in deceptions like “if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”, “If you like your plan you can keep your plan”, and “the average family will be saving $2,500 per year if we (Democrats) pass the ACA?…the chickens of those deceptions have come home to roost and are not appreciated at all outside of a small group with pre-existing conditions and some people who are getting a free ride?…it is now up to all of the members of congress to own up to the problems created by this partisan monstrosity and work together to repair whatever the heck the ACA actually turned out to be?

St. Vincent Names New President Of Its Southwest Indiana Region

0


St. Vincent has appointed Dan Parod to serve as the president of its Southwest Region, effective immediately.

In his new role, Parod is responsible for advancing St. Vincent’s mission of service in Evansville and the Warrick County Tri-State area, as well as providing leadership and guidance to the more than 750 physicians and 3,500 associates on staff at St. Vincent Evansville and St. Vincent Warrick.

Parod joined St. Vincent as the chief operating officer of its Southwest Region in August 2016 and began serving as the region’s interim president in February 2017.

During that time, Parod has built strong relationships with board members, physicians, associates and community leaders. Through his leadership, the St. Vincent Southwest Region has continued to grow with projects like the St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital, which is scheduled to open in May 2019, and the St. Vincent Evansville management agreement with Daviess Community Hospital in Washington, Indiana.

“I’m thrilled about the work we’re doing to further our mission to serve our patients and communities here in the Tri-State area,” said Parod, who came to St. Vincent after serving as the senior vice president and chief operating officer at Rockford Health System in Rockford, Illinois.

“Dan brings nearly 25 years of experience in healthcare leadership to this role,” said Cheryl Harmon, chief operating officer for St. Vincent, one of the largest health systems within St. Louis-based Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system. “His extensive background in clinical integration, human resources, performance improvement, leading change and shaping culture makes him an ideal fit for this opportunity.”

Parod earned his Bachelor of Arts in Business Communication from Illinois Wesleyan University and Master of Arts in Labor and Industrial Relations from the University of Illinois. He has also held a number of volunteer community leadership positions, including serving on the board of directors for both the United Way and YMCA.

Additional Guidance Issued On Pro Bono Reporting

Additional Guidance Issued On Pro Bono Reporting

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

With the annual attorney registration set to begin Tuesday in Indiana, the Coalition for Court Access has issued additional guidance for reporting pro bono hours.

Lawyers registering in Indiana are required to report either the number of hours they volunteered their legal services or the amount of money they donated to a legal aid provider. The CCA has developed a Frequently Asked Questions document to further explain the Professional Conduct Rule 6.7 on reporting pro bono hours and contributions.

In 2016, lawyers were first required to state whether they provided any pro bono services during their annual registration. An analysis of the registrations by the CCA found that 7,672 attorneys, roughly half of the lawyers in Indiana, contributed either time or money during the calendar year 2015. A total of 363,709 hours was provided and $987,075 were donated.

“Capturing this baseline information will allow us to put together a roadmap for areas of service that need improvement,” Chief Justice Loretta Rush said in a press release. “It’s encouraging to confirm there are thousands of lawyers helping those in need every year.”
