YESTERYEAR: Charles Leich & Company

0

This familiar, well-preserved building at 420 NW Fifth Street is the only remaining section of the Evansville Woolen Mill, which originated about 1889. When the mill closed in 1910, Charles Leich & Company, which had been founded in 1854, acquired the property. The family-owned firm manufactured “drugs and sundries” for several generations, and in 1962, it was one of eleven local businesses and industries recognized for operating continuously for over a century. Now home to numerous commercial enterprises, the building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Eagles Set High Expectations Moving Towards the Postseason

0

The University of Southern Indiana women’s golf team has one event remaining in their regular season to be played this weekend. The Screaming Eagles will participate in the UIS Spring Invitational hosted by the University of Illinois Springfield at Annbriar Country Club April 16-17. The event will be held at the same course as the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship the following week on April 22-24.

The Eagles in 2015-16
The Eagles have won four team championships during the 2015-16 season breaking the team record for most team wins in a season. USI sits in fourth-place in the latest East Region Rankings.

Winning Streak
USI has won the past two tournaments they have competed in. This past weekend, in the rain shortened Triton Spring Invitational, the Eagles brought home the win by three strokes. The weekend prior, four USI players placed in the top-ten to seal a victory for the Eagles at the Maryville Spring Invitational.

Breaking Records
Along with the four team wins, earlier this spring, at the Perry Park Spring Fling, the Eagles finished in third place out of 27 teams, breaking four records in the process. The team recorded a 911 in the three round tournament breaking the 54-hole team record, while the opening round score of 295 broke the single round team record. Senior Brittanie Garrison (Evansville, Indiana) broke two individual records with her three round total of 219 and round one score of 68. Fellow senior Anastasia Carter (Granger, Indiana) is on pace to break the season scoring average record of 78.1 set by Alisha Luigs in 2005-06.

The Field
The 16-team field will host seven teams ranked in the top-14 of the East Region rankings. The University of Indianapolis leads the group and is ranked second with USI and the University of Missouri-St. Louis in fourth and fifth. Also, four more GLVC teams are ranked 10-13 in William Jewell College, Illinois-Springfield, Drury University, and Lewis University.

The Course
Annbriar Country Club is a par 72, 617 yard course in Waterloo, Illinois and will host the event for the seventh consecutive year.

Back-to-Back Champions
The past two individual GLVC Champions are still on the USI roster. In 2014, Carter went two-under in round one to finish the two round event five strokes ahead of the rest of the field, claiming the title. In 2015, junior Allison Koester (Wadesville, Indiana) finished the three rounds with a total score of 22 and earned the Eagles second straight individual titles.

Last year
Koester earned the individual championship with a six-over-par 222 in the three round event. The 2014 Champion, Carter finished in a tie for eighth with a 233. The Eagles finished in third place, one stroke shy of UMSL and 15 strokes off the pace set by Indianapolis.

(IceMen rookie earns first AHL call-up of his career after a strong season in Evansville.)

 EVANSVILLE, IN – The Evansville IceMen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Ottawa Senators and AHL’s Binghamton Senators, and Head Coach Al Sims announced Wednesday that rookie forward Jordan Sims has been loaned to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda. It’s the 26-year-old’s first AHL call-up.

Sims skated in 64 games for the IceMen this season and finished second on the team in scoring (17-29—46). The Fort Wayne, IN native finished 16th among ECHL rookies in scoring, and fifth in plus/minus rating. His plus-18 rating was also a team best.

The 5’11 center spent the majority of his first pro season with the Peoria Rivermen of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) in 2014-15, before appearing in five games for the ECHL’s Idaho Steelheads and 19 games for Evansville. Prior to turning pro, Sims played four seasons for the University of Connecticut from 2010-14.

San Jose finishes their regular season schedule with a home-and-home series Saturday and Sunday against the Stockton Heat. The Barracuda are .5 games behind the Charlotte Checkers for the AHL’s final Western Conference playoff spot.

In honor of longtime Central teacher and baseball coach, Paul Gries, the EVSC, EVSC Foundation, and Paul Gries Field Campaign Committee will announce the kick off of the “Paul Gries Field” naming fundraiser 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 kicking off the campaign 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.

Dr. Bucshon’s Opioid Addiction Treatment Bill Highlighted by House Leadershi

0
 
WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Legislation being introduced by Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon to reform and improve the treatment for opioid addiction is gaining traction in Washington, D.C.

Last week, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) highlighted Bucshon’s legislation as a linchpin to the House’s effort to combat the opioid addiction epidemic that is claiming 78 American lives to overdose every day.

In his op-ed, Majority Leader McCarthy wrote:

“Members of the House have been working hard to respond to this crisis as well, and as Majority Leader, I plan to schedule multiple bills on the floor to address the nationwide opioid epidemic.

“Two of my colleagues, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (WI-5) and Dr. Larry Bucshon (IN-8) are working on bills to improve treatment, prevention, and education efforts for those with opioid addiction…House Committees should complete work on legislation in April, and I plan to bring these bills for a vote on the House floor in May.”

The press corps in Washington, D.C. quickly took note of the House’s work, including Bucshon’s legislation:

 “Among these are the bills that Reps. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) and Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) have introduced to improve treatment for opioid addicts, as well as prevention and education efforts to decrease the rates of addiction.” (The Hill; 4/11/2016)

“Committee work on the bills should wrap up this month, he [House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy] said. McCarthy referenced several bills that are in the works, including one from Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) and Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) that would improve opioid abuse treatment and prevention efforts. Other bills McCarthy referenced would improve guidelines for physicians, help infants born to opioid-addicted mothers and improve the country’s drug laws.” (Morning Consult; 4/7/2016)

“McCarthy highlighted several bills that improve treatment and prevention of opioid addiction and create better guidance for doctors to follow when prescribing opioid medications.”(Washington Examiner; 4/7/2016)

As a physician, Bucshon is uniquely qualified to help tackle this challenge that is increasingly impacting Hoosier families and communities.  While some members of Congress might be concerned with taking credit for work on this issue, Bucshon’s concern is getting a solution across the finish line to help solve this crisis.

“Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) is one of the members whose bill, which would improve treatment of opioid addiction, made McCarthy’s shortlist.

“He’s a surgeon from a state that has seen one of the sharpest recent rises in the drug-overdose death rate, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and he sits on the House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee that is likely to field opioid legislation. Though Bucshon said he could care less whether he gets personal credit for his efforts, he worries the temptation to seize the spotlight may grip others and delay progress.

“‘Could there be pitfalls where for political reasons, people are bantering around and worried about who’s getting credit, and it stops it up? I’m a little worried about that because it’s a front-page issue and everybody’s talking about it,’ Bucshon said, declining to name parties or names of who might pose a problem.

“’It doesn’t do us any good to be working on legislation that’s ultimately not going to end up on the president’s desk,’ he added.” (Washington Post; 4/13/2016)
