0

Evansville, In.:  The Evansville Thunderbolts and Head Coach/Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Bes are pleased to announce the re-signing of forward Matthew Hobbs for the 2023-24 season.  The Thunderbolts’ 2023-24 season will get underway on Saturday, October 21st at Ford Center as they host the Huntsville Havoc.

Hobbs joined the Thunderbolts late in the 2021-22 season, playing three regular season games in addition to both playoff games, following a stint with the Birmingham Bulls which also included a pair of ECHL appearances with Newfoundland.  In 2022-23, the 24 year old native of Burlington, Ontario played  44 games with the Thunderbolts, tallying four goals and 10 points along with 113 penalty minutes, including a league-leading 13 fighting majors.  Here is what Hobbs had to say upon inking his return to Evansville: “I can’t wait to be back in Evansville, it feels like a second home now for me. It’s a great honor playing for such a great organization and in front of our awesome fans.  Next season I’m looking forward to bringing a spark to our lineup every night and doing whatever it takes to be at the top of the standings.  I’m counting down the seconds until I can be back in a packed Ford Center!”

Upon signing Hobbs, Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Bes commented: “Bringing Matt Hobbs back this season was definitely a priority.  He is great in the locker room and even better in the community.  He is a fan favorite that comes to compete every night and we’re looking for Hobbsy to continue that as well as having a breakout season offensively.”

Avon, Ohio – The Evansville Otters hit six doubles with 13 total hits to defeat the Lake Erie Crushers 10-2 Thursday night at Mercy Health Stadium.

Dakota Phillips led the Otters with three hits and three RBIs. Six Otters totaled multi-hit days.

Evansville pitching held Lake Erie to just four hits and two runs with Crushers’ batters reaching in just three innings all game.

Braden Scott in his second outing back with Evansville worked a quality start, striking out nine with just two runs allowed over six innings.

Phillips starred early for the Otters at the plate. He hit an RBI double in the first inning and then again in the third for Evansville’s first two runs of the game.

Lake Erie tied the ballgame with two runs in the bottom of the third.

Evansville’s offense then exploded in the fifth inning with five runs. Noah Myers led off with a double, and Phillips opened the scoring with an RBI single that bounced off the 1st base bag.

Jomar Reyes followed with an RBI double and Ethan Skender capped the frame with a two-RBI triple off the left field wall.

The Otters closed the game out with one run in the eighth and two more in the ninth.

Aaron Beck led off the eighth with a double and scored on a fielder’s choice. Four singles in the ninth inning plated the final two runs of the game.

Kevin Davis pitched two perfect innings in relief, striking out five of six batters while Leoni De La Cruz closed the ballgame out with a scoreless ninth.

Quiggle and Myers both advanced on-base streaks to a season-high 17 games. Jeffrey Baez worked three walks, tying an Otters’ best this year.

The Otters earn their first win at Mercy Health Stadium this year in the final game of the season between the two division foes.

Evansville continues the road trip as they journey further east to face the New York Boulders. First pitch from Clover Stadium in Pomona, New York is scheduled for 6:00 PM CT. The game will be broadcast on the Otters Digital Network and simulcast on FloSports.

EPA Seeks Input on Expansion of the Safer Choice and Design for the Environment Programs

Sign outside of the EPA in Washington D.C.

WASHINGTON (July 25, 2023) – Today the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a 45-day public comment period on a proposed expansion of its Safer Choice and potentially its Design for the Environment (DfE) programs to include certification of additional product categories beyond cleaners and disinfectants. Safer Choice and DfE are voluntary EPA programs that help consumers, businesses, and purchasers find cleaning and disinfectant products that perform and meet stringent EPA criteria for effects on human health and the environment. The Agency will hold a listening session webinar on August 29, 2023, to gather feedback on certification of additional product categories by EPA’s Safer Choice and DfE programs.

Given the increasing consumer interest in chemicals used in products, EPA is working to expand its certification programs to include additional product categories, reflecting the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to safeguarding human health, addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and advancing environmental justice. The Agency is seeking input on which new product categories Safer Choice and DfE could expand into and how the potential expansion offers significant benefit to human health and the environment.

“Thanks to EPA’s Safer Choice and Design for the Environment programs, the marketplace has a tool to ensure consumers know if a product meets stringent EPA criteria for effects on human health and the environment,” said EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Deputy Assistant Administrator for Pollution Prevention Jennie Romer. “We’re eager to engage with a variety of stakeholders on expanding the programs to additional product categories, empowering consumers to make informed choices about products they use in their daily lives.”

As with cleaning products, EPA would evaluate each ingredient against a stringent set of health and environmental criteria outlined in the Safer Choice Standard. The availability of EPA certified products would help give consumers a choice of products that meet EPA’s high standard for human and environmental health and, as part of meeting these criteria, would not contain intentionally added PFAS.

EPA will hold a webinar to solicit input from stakeholders, including manufacturers and distributors, retailers, community groups and representatives from states, Tribal Nations, non-profit organizations, trade associations, and others.

  • August 29, 2023, 2:00 p.m. ET: This webinar will ask for input on the types of products Safer Choice and/or DfE should certify and why. Register here for the webinar.
