OTTERS NAME JESS WELZ COMMUNITY RELATIONS MANAGER

0

The Evansville Otters have hired Jess Welz as their new Community Relations Manager.

Welz, 33, joined the Otters front office in February. Prior to becoming part of the Otters organization, Jess worked for five seasons with the ECHL’s Evansville IceMen as Ticket Sales Coordinator, Ticket Operations Manager, and Director of Community Relations. She graduated from Carthage College, in Kenosha, Wisconsin with a BA in Sports and Exercise Science. This avid hockey fan has worked in sports at various levels for over 15 years and is eager to add baseball to her résumé.

Jess has already made her mark on the Otters organization as an integral part of the Clean Up the Ballpark event this past Saturday at Bosse Field. “It was exciting to see the support of the Evansville community at our first clean-up day! We had approximately 75 volunteers help with painting, landscaping, and general cleaning of the ballpark. I am looking forward to increasing our community involvement not only during the season, but in the offseason as well”, said Welz.

Community Relations became important to Welz when, during an internship, she saw how being in the community helped connect the Chicago Blackhawks with their fans off the ice. “I love watching connections and relationships created outside of the game. Children may remember a play during the game, but they will always remember meeting and interacting with their favorite player. One of my aspirations in my position is to make sure the Otters are visible in the community during the off season. We are already at the forefront of people’s minds during the summer and I want to make sure that continues throughout the year.”

Jess is a native of Joliet, Illinois and her favorite sports teams include the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bears, Wisconsin Badgers, and Chicago Cubs. Outside the office she likes spending time with family, being outdoors, and traveling.

The Otters open the 2016 season at home against the Schaumburg Boomers on Friday, May 13, at 6:35 p.m. Tickets are on sale now by calling (812) 435-8686.

Four games of the University of Southern Indiana baseball team’s 10-game road swing have been converted to home games as the Screaming Eagles will hosts the University of Wisconsin-Parkside for a conference series Saturday and Sunday at the USI Baseball Field due to the forecast for inclement weather in Wisconsin.

Kempf, currently, is third all-time with 254 hits (record 270); fifth with 48 doubles (record 63); tied for ninth with 145 runs scored (record 183); and 12th with 184 games played (record 213).

Carr hoping to steal a record. USI senior centerfielder Hamilton Carr is closing on the Eagles’ stolen base record with 70 career thefts (record 86).

EDITORIAL: Congressmen Bucshon Made Mistake By Not Debating His Opponent

 Congressmen Bucshon Made Mistake By Not Debating His Opponent

The Republican voters of the 8th Congressional District are going to have quite a decision to make in the May 8th primary election. They will be choosing between the incumbent Congressman Dr. Larry Buschon and his fellow physician, political newcomer Dr. Richard Moss. Dr. Buschon survived a challenge from the Club For Growth’s funding and Christy Risk in 2014.

This year, it appears that Dr. Buschon enjoys the backing of his party’s establishment. That should make for an easier re-election bid, but Dr. Moss is launching a strong effort to unseat him. Dr. Moss has challenged Dr. Buschon to a public debate, but the incumbent has refused to participate. We think that Dr. Buschon declined the challenge because of the conventional belief he has nothing to gain and everything to lose by debating. The power of the incumbency is on Buschon’s side. The voters know who he is and what his stances are. The challenger is not well know, especially in the more populous parts of the district. He lives and practices in Jasper, while Dr. Buschon practiced in Evansville and lives in Warrick County.

Both candidates have a great deal in common, both personally and politically. They share a common profession and strong conservative ideals. A debate between the two would have been an effective way for Republicans to distinguish between them. We believe that Dr. Buschon’s refusal to debate may have made this into a referendum on just how strongly voters really feel about getting rid of the Washington “establishment.” We will see if the GOP electorate in this area truly wants to change Washington, as this is boiling down to a choice between the status quo candidate and a “fresh face” in the capitol. It may be that Dr. Buschon made a mistake by following the conventional wisdom of not debating in this most unconventional primary. Failing to set himself apart may well prove to be a mistake that is fatal to his political career. If Dr. Moss presents himself to the voters as a political outsider running against the “establishment” we expect that he will do well in the approaching pri.mary.

We invite both candidates to tell us what sets them apart from their opponent. We will share their unedited replies with our readers.

EVSC, EVSC Foundation to Name Central High School Baseball Field In Honor of Paul Gries

In honor of longtime Central teacher and baseball coach, Paul Gries, the EVSC, EVSC Foundation, and Paul Gries Field Campaign Committee will announce the “Paul Gries Field” dedication before the Central High School boys’ varsity baseball game versus Mater Dei on Thursday, April 14, at 4 p.m. The game will take place at Central High School, 5400 N. First Ave., Evansville.

Ed Cole, also a longtime teacher at Central and chairman of the Paul Gries Field Committee, will be in attendance as well as former Central and Cardinals player, Andy Benes; EVSC Foundation President, Brian Hancock; Central High School Athletic Director, Andy Owen; Central High School Principal, Andrea Campbell; and former Central Bears players. A short ceremony will take place before the game and Gries will throw out the first pitch.

Gries was named Central High School’s baseball coach in 1981 and immediately began transforming the field into a showcase. Over the next 21 years, Gries tirelessly worked to transform the facility by raising money through Central’s Baseball Booster Club.

During the 20 years he coached, Gries recorded 408 wins and 196 losses, which included seven IHSAA Sectionals, two regionals, and one semi-state championship. The Bears were State runners-up in 1987. In addition he coached his players to win seven SIAC titles.

Gries also earned SIAC Coach of the Year in 1981, 1987 and 1998; North-South All-Star coach in 1987; and National Regional Coach of the Year in 2000. He was inducted in the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002.

Proceeds from the Paul Gries Field Campaign will benefit improvements to the baseball field and naming of Paul Gries Field.

Donate online at www.evscfoundation.org/give-today or mail a donation to EVSC Foundation, ATTN Paul Gries Campaign, 951 Walnut Street, Evansville IN 47713.  For questions, please contact the EVSC Office of Development at 812-435-0913 or giving@evsc.k12.in.us
