University of Southern Indiana athletes and coaches made a special trip to the Indiana Statehouse Thursday, February 5, 2015, for the presentation of two resolutions by the Indiana General Assembly congratulating the 2014 USI Men’s Baseball team on their NCAA Division II Baseball Championship and Johnnie Guy for his National Title in the Outdoor Track and Field 10,000 Meters.
The resolutions were adopted by both the House and Senate. Athletes and coaches were congratulated by members of the House and Senate and Coaches Tracy Archuleta and Mike Hillyard addressed the General Assembly. In addition, coaches and athletes visited the office of the governor and lt. governor, and had lunch with legislators and other elected officials at Colts Grille.
USI Baseball
The 2014 USI Baseball Team won the NCAA Division II National Championship, the second in five years for USI and the GLVC. USI also was the first conference team to reach the national championship game since they won the title in 2010. USI remains the only team in the state of Indiana to win a national championship in baseball in any division.
During the championship, junior right-handed pitcher/shortstop Matt Chavarria of Carlsbad, New Mexico, was named NCAA Division II National Championship Series Most Outstanding Player as USI finished 8-2 in tournament.
USI also hosted the NCAA II Midwest Regional for the third time in school history, producing a second-straight regional crown. The overall regional title was the third in the history of the program. Senior right-handed pitcher Jonathon Wandling of Newburgh, Indiana, was named the NCAA II Regional Most Valuable Player, and was later signed professionally with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 49-13 overall mark by the Screaming Eagles set a school record for winning percentage. USI Head Coach Tracy Archuleta was named the American Baseball Coaches Association Division II Coach of the Year for a second time, along with being named the ABCA and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Midwest Region Coach of the Year.
Johnnie Guy
University of Southern Indiana sophomore Johnnie Guy of Palmyra, Indiana, fulfilled a dream of becoming a national champion in May 2014 when he ran his way to the NCAA Division II National Championship in the 10,000 Meters.
He became the fifth Screaming Eagle to earn an individual NCAA national championship and the second in men’s track and field. In all, he is a combined seven-time All-American in cross country and track. He’s also won six GLVC titles, including two cross country championships, one indoor track title and three outdoor track crowns.
Guy was the 2013 GLVC and Midwest Region Cross Country Runner of the Year as well as the USTFCCCA National Runner of the Week. He has earned nine All-Midwest Region awards and six All-GLVC honors and was USI’s Student-Athlete of the Year in 2013-14.
As a junior in fall 2014, Guy helped lead the Eagles to their 10th-straight Great Lakes Valley Conference championship and 22nd conference title. The 22 league crowns are the most conference championships by any program in any sport in conference history. The USI cross country program also advanced to the 2014 NCAA Division II National Championships last fall where it placed seventh nationally.

IS IT TRUE the interest and filings for seats on the Evansville City Council is hitting a fever pitch that has not been seen in River City for many years?…a 25 year old named David Ballard is taking on 5 term incumbent Connie Robinson in the 4th Ward, and schoolteacher Jim Brinkmeyer has filed to oppose incumbent Al Lindsey in the 6th Ward Democrat primary?…all of these candidates tossing their hat into the ring will not only spice up the primary season, it has the potential to promote a healthy dialog about the problems that plague our city?…maybe some of the promises unfulfilled by the victors of 2011 like an Angel Network, Technology Transfer, eradication on meth making materials, and transparency will take some real root with some young ideas tossed into the mix?
IS IT TRUE the recent news that Vanderburgh County had slipped to 3rd in Indiana in meth lab busts from it’s longstanding place at the top must not have been about the amount of meth being made as it was revealed today that about 40 people have been arrested after a two-year investigation into a drug trafficking operation with it’s main operation in Vanderburgh County?…the FBI, DEA and IRS all worked together over a period of 2 years to track and bust what is basically a locally run international drug ring for distribution of meth?…74 pounds of crystal meth, $400,000 in cash, 20 guns and two cars were seized seized by the feds when the bust went down?…it was also reported by the authorities that six arrests for attempted murder were also connected to this drug ring?…there will be more arrests?…this is the first giant international drug bust made in Evansville since mid 2006 when a meth manufacturing and distribution operation was discovered in the basement of the Orr Iron Building which housed the small business incubator before it was relocated to Innovation Pointe and shifted it’s focus to technology?
IS IT TRUE it has been said that Evansville is to meth as Napa Valley is to wine and this big time bust and the search for the rest of the operation members serves to reinforce that dubious distinction?…some local leaders have been looking for a brand and until they can find a way to tame the “Breaking Bad” image, t-shirts and videos will not succeed in putting forth a positive spin?…it could be spun that these industrious alleged criminals are entrepreneurs at heart and that Evansville needs entrepreneurs and funding?…maybe we will see some “HEISENBURG FOR MAYOR” signs and shirts on the walkway soon?
IS IT TRUE it has been about 2 years since the CCO has received routine news articles from the Office of the Mayor of Evansville? …we wonder how much the taxpayers pay each year to fund the operation of their Public Information Office? …we want to thank Public Information Officers who work for Evansville Police Department, Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Nick Herman, Vanderburgh Sheriff  Department, Evansville Water and Sewer Department, Evansville Fire Department, Congressman Larry Bucshon,  Evansville Parks and Recreation Director, Vanderburgh County Commission, EVSC School System, Indiana Attorney General Office, Gail Riecken, Holli Sullivan, Ron Bacon,  USI, IVY Tech,  U of E,  St Mary’s Hospital,  Deaconess Hospital and Governor Mike Pence office for doing an outstanding job in providing news to the CCO?
IS IT TRUE a Kentucky House committee has approved a bill to increase the state’s minimum wage?…the bill was passed by the House Labor and Industry Committee and is similar to last year’s proposal that passed the House but died in the Senate?…the bill proposes to incrementally raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 per hour in July 2017?…only about 400,000 Kentuckians (less than 10% of the population)currently earn less than $10.10 an hour, and a large number of those are teenagers in entry level service jobs?…the proposed bill exempts retail stores, service businesses, hotels, motels and restaurants with annual gross sales under $500,000 per year?…business representatives predictably said the bill would be a hardship for employers, even with enough exemptions to limit the overall impact to the total wages paid?…this is a step forward and will put Kentucky with it’s low cost of living way ahead of liberal progressive cities like San Francisco which is ratcheting the minimum wage up to $15 per hour in spending power from minimum wage jobs?…Kentucky still has opportunities for housing that can be bought or rented for about 30% of the gross monthly earnings for minimum wage workers while San Francisco’s entry level apartments cost more that the entire monthly gross earnings of minimum wage earners?
