Knox County – Saturday night, August 19, at approximately 10:56 p.m., Indiana State Police and Vincennes Police responded to a single vehicle crash on College Avenue in Vincennes.

Boger was traveling too fast, and the vehicle struck the curb on the north side of the street causing the vehicle to flip. The vehicle came to a final rest on the passenger’s side. The driver was not wearing his seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene by a Knox County Deputy Coroner.

An autopsy is scheduled for this morning. Toxicology results are pending.

103 historic farm families presented Hoosier Homestead

0

INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 19, 2023) — Recognized for their families’ longstanding commitment to agriculture, 103 Indiana family farms were presented the Hoosier Homestead Award at the Indiana State Fair from Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Don Lamb.

“The Hoosier Homestead ceremony is always a highlight of the Indiana State Fair for me,” said Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Celebrating these longstanding farming families and their ancestors for their work and commitment to our state and Indiana agriculture is a true honor.”

To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for more than 100 consecutive years, and consist of 20 acres or more, or produce more than $1,000 in agricultural products per year.

Based on the age of the farm, families are eligible for three different distinctions of the Hoosier Homestead Award. They can receive the Centennial Award for 100 years, Sesquicentennial Award for 150 years or Bicentennial Award for 200 years of ownership.

“Keeping a farm operational for 100 years or more is no simple task,” Lamb said. “Each passing generation has certainly had to adapt and evolve their farming practices and techniques to ensure their farms continued success.”

Since the program’s inception in 1976, over 6,100 families have received the award. Often, a Hoosier Homestead farm is easily recognized because most recipients proudly display their awarded sign on their property.

During the ceremonies, three Indiana farms received the Bicentennial Award for 200 years of continuous ownership: the Craig / Day family from Lawrence County, the Harry Goss Dow & Bessie M. Dow family from Morgan County and the Wise/Hobbs family from Madison County. 

The following list includes the August 2023 Hoosier Homestead Award recipients.

  • 47% of the state’s General Fund is allocated to K-12 initiatives including eliminating textbook and technology fees and increasing funding for school safety.
  • Eligibility for the On My Way Pre-K program now includes low-income families who live within 150% of the federal poverty level.
  • A new law established the Science of Reading grant fund to help Indiana school corporations deploy literacy coaches and implement Science of Reading curriculum in elementary classrooms.
  • All eligible students are now automatically enrolled in the 21st Century Scholars program during their seventh- and eighth-grade years of school.
  • All students who graduate in 2028 or later and attend Indiana public schools, charter schools or state-accredited nonpublic schools must pass a financial literacy course.
  • A new law expands eligibility for the Next Generation Hoosier Educator Scholarship.

Educating and supporting our future leaders is critical to Indiana’s long-term success, which is why expanding educational opportunities for students remains one of my top priorities.

Scott pitches Otters past Wild Things

0
Washington, PA. – Braden Scott threw seven stellar innings with eight strikeouts as the Evansville Otters beat the Washington Wild Things 2-1 on Saturday night at Wild Things Park.

Scott allowed just four baserunners over his seven innings of work earning his third win of the season.

After a leadoff home run to start the game for Washington, Scott retired 12 consecutive batters. The Wild Things mounted just three singles for their only baserunners the rest of Scott’s outing.

Kevin Davis pitched a perfect eighth inning from the bullpen before Jake Polancic worked an in-order ninth inning for his 14th save of the year.

Ethan Skender delivered the Otters’ offense on Saturday. He led off the third inning with a double down the left field line.

George Callil knocked him home with a single to tie the game at one.

Skender then put the Otters in front with a solo home run over the left field wall in the fifth inning.

Dakota Phillips notched a single for his 12th hit of the week and moved his on-base streak to 10 games. George Callil advanced his hit streak to eight games – tied for a season best. Polancic’s 14th save ties him for the second most in the league.

With the win, the Otters lowered their magic number to eight to clinch their spot in the 2023 Frontier League playoffs.
