INDIANA FAMILIES UNITED FOR CARE STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF HOUSE RESOLUTION 1

1

INDIANAPOLIS— Indiana Families United for Care issues deep concern about Congress’s passage of House Resolution 1, the budget reconciliation effort that is now headed to President Trump for his signature or veto.

The following statement may be attributed to Indiana Families United for Care Spokesperson Jennifer Dewitt:

“Hoosiers will die and Hoosiers will starve thanks to the heartless decision by Congress to upend decades of human services policy that has allowed Americans to thrive in their communities with their families,” stated spokesperson Jennifer Dewitt. “Our poor, our seniors, and disabled will bear the brunt of this decision. Blood is on Congress’ hands.”

Cruz homers three times as Otters fall in opener

0
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Evansville Otters (21-27) fell on Friday night against the Schaumburg Boomers (29-20) in walk off fashion, 9-8, despite three home runs from JJ Cruz.

The Otters sent out Braden Scott to start and he worked well early. He battled through the first inning and collected his first strikeout of the night to end the frame.

The Boomers were able to score in the second on an RBI double. Their offense was stunted in that inning, as Scott struck out two of the next three he faced to end the second.

The Otters did fight back in their half of the third. They scored one to tie it thanks to a Cruz RBI single.

Scott would take that scoring and run with it. The next two innings he did not allow a run and got up to seven punchouts.

The fifth inning saw some more Otters runs. They scored on a two-run home run from Cruz to take the lead in the inning. In the bottom half of the fifth, Schaumburg responded with one to make it 3-2.

The sixth also saw Evansville score. Keenan Taylor came up big and hit an RBI double after three straight walks. This put the lead to 5-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth.

Scott would exit the game in the home half of the seventh. He finished with five and two thirds innings pitched, nine strikeouts and only two runs allowed.

In the seventh, the Otters stayed red hot. Cruz hit his second homer of the day, a solo shot, to get the inning started. Dennis Pierce then singled and eventually came in on a wild pitch making the score 7-2.

Schaumburg began their revenge in the eighth. In the bottom half, Schaumburg mounted a comeback and scored five runs to tie the game at 7-7.

Cruz was once again due up in the top of the ninth to lead it off. He launched his third home run of the game to give Evansville the lead 8-7.

The lead didn’t last long enough for the Otters, as the Boomers scored two in their half to walk it off and win 9-8.

Cruz finished the day going 4-for-4 with three runs scored and five RBI.

The Otters play again tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. against the Boomers for the middle game of the series.

The Reitz Home Museum Names New Executive Director

0
The Reitz Home Museum Board of Trustees proudly announces the appointment of Joseph Lutz as the museum’s Executive Director. Joseph has been serving as the Museum Curator since his hiring last June.

“Joseph has proven his love and dedication to the Reitz Home Museum over the last year,” offered Jennifer Stevens, President of the Reitz Home Museum Board of Trustees. “He has worked diligently to develop a comprehensive inventory assessment of the museum’s treasured assets, while also doubling the number of active docents. I’m confident that Joseph’s skill set will allow the Reitz Home Museum to continue to be a vibrant cultural asset for Evansville,” Stevens said.

Prior to joining the Reitz Home Museum, Lutz served in the Peace Corps in Moldova where he served as a Community and Organizational Development Advisor and provided technical assistance to the Jewish History Museum of Moldova.

“History, and enhancing community outreach of museums, has long been a passion of mine,” Lutz said. “I have a special fondness for the Reitz Home Museum, and its fascinating historical ties to Evansville’s early days. I look forward to expanding the museum’s relevance in the community.”

The Reitz Home Museum, situated in the heart of the city’s downtown historic preservation district, was built in 1871 by John Augustus Reitz and is Evansville’s only Victoria House Museum. It is one of the finest examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.

Lutz replaces former Executive Director Natalie Singer, who is now Director of Sponsorships and Giving at the EVSC Foundation and a member of the Reitz Home Board of Trustees.

Rep. McNamara’s new law safeguarding mental health debriefings for public safety officials ceremonially signed by the governor

0

 


STATEHOUSE– The governor recently ceremonially signed State Rep. Wendy McNamara’s (R-Evansville) new law protecting critical incident stress management (CISM) services for first responders.

McNamara said CISM debriefings are an important mental health tool for public safety officials after facing a stressful or dangerous situation while on the job.

House Enrolled Act 1118 changes the Indiana code so any first responder using a CISM debriefing will not be compelled to disclose those conversations in a civil, criminal or administrative proceeding.

“Our police, firefighters, EMS providers and other first responders face danger day in and day out,” McNamara said. “By protecting these mental health discussions, our first responders will be more empowered to care for themselves.”

First responders face PTSD and depression at a rate five times higher than the civilian population, according to the Ruderman Family Foundation. To help them, Indiana has more than 40 CISM teams, according to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, comprised of trained peer volunteers who can offer care at the scene or counsel for responders afterwards.

McNamara said this change could incentivize first responders to use CISM debriefings, as they will not have to worry about disclosing private information.
