Governor’s visit to fairgrounds, spina bifida program, affordable housing grant

AUGUST 4, 202

Gov. Eric Holcomb recently joined other state and agricultural officials to cut the ribbon and open the newly renovated century-old swine barn at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, now called the Fall Creek Pavilion.

Holcomb: “This is one of the few buildings that Hoosiers from all 92 counties will be walking through this door on an annual basis, year in and year out and so it was money well invested. We’re not just celebrating the fact that we cut a ribbon today but celebrating the fact that our students are going to be able to learn and grow and develop here and a lot of memories will be made along the way.”

U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, R-Indiana, and Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-New Hampshire, applauded the recent Senate passage of their bill to strengthen VA Spina Bifida Program for children of Vietnam veterans suffering from spina bifida due to Agent Orange and encouraged the House of Representatives to take up the legislation for veterans without delay.

Braun: “Many veterans are unaware of the benefits available for their children with certain birth defects due to their exposure to Agent Orange. This legislation will ensure that these beneficiaries get the care and benefits they deserve.”

Mayor Joe Hogsett recently announced 10 proposals selected for funding through Vacant to Vibrant, a program of the City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development (DMD). In total, the City awarded $5.86 million across ten proposals, which will support the creation of 49 homes for rental, homeownership and lease-to-purchase opportunities.

Hogsett: “The goal of Vacant to Vibrant is to transform vacant City-owned property into affordable housing that will enhance economic opportunity for Indianapolis families and strengthen neighborhood quality of life. At a time when housing availability is limited across Indianapolis neighborhoods, our comprehensive strategy is to leverage every tool and resource to create more pathways for residents to access quality affordable housing. Vacant to Vibrant streamlines the development process by directly pairing property sales with local and federal funding. We look forward to working with our community development partners to turn the vision of Vacant to Vibrant into a reality.”

 

 

 

 

Otters rally to clinch series over Boomers

0
Evansville, Ind. – The Evansville Otters scored six unanswered runs to rally from a four-run deficit and beat the Schaumburg Boomers 6-4 Saturday night at Bosse Field.

The Otters completed their third four-run comeback led by three hits by Ethan Skender. The Otters’ shortstop totaled three RBIs and hit the go-ahead solo home run in the seventh inning.

Evansville scored four runs in the fifth inning to erase a 4-0 deficit. Austin Bost led off the inning with a base hit and Noah Myers reached on a bunt single.

Skender then doubled to right, scoring both runners to cut the lead in half.

Jeffrey Baez grounded into a fielder’s choice in which the Boomers made two throwing errors, scoring Skender and sending Baez all the way around the bases to score the tying run.

Skender launched the go-ahead solo homer to left in the seventh inning and a Josh Broughton hit added an insurance run in the eighth inning.

The Otters’ bullpen shutdown the Boomers bats, allowing just one baserunner over the last four innings. James Krick pitched two scoreless innings with two strikeouts and Jon Beymer tossed two perfect innings to earn his second save of the season.

Schaumburg plated two runs in the first inning on a two-run homer. The Boomers added a run on an RBI double in the third. A wild pitch scored the last Boomers’ run in the fifth giving them a 4-0 lead.

Justin Watland started on the mound, scattering seven hits over five innings with six strikeouts.

Skender moved his on-base streak to 12 games while Broughton, Phillips and Justin Felix all recorded two-hit days.

Evansville goes for the sweep of Schaumburg on Sunday afternoon with a 12:35 PM CT first pitch. Fans are encouraged to bring their dogs and can enjoy discounted hot dogs as a Dog Days of Summer game.
