#NWI: Bulls/Sox Training Academy moves to Omni 41

Bulls/Sox Training Academy moves to Omni 41: "The baseball and softball training facility owned by the Chicago White Sox will provide professional, personal and team training for Indiana players ages 5 to major league. It will conduct hitting, pitching and fielding instruction starting in mid-November for both baseball and fast pitch softball players.

'We've been looking for the perfect site for our Indiana operation and Omni 41 is a special place,' said Sox Training Academy Director Bobby Morris. 'The additional space along with the addition of some new instructors will make our Academy the perfect place to train.'

Morris is especially pleased to add Bill Bryk, Sr. to the staff, which features Florida Marlins Minor League Hitting Coordinator John Mallee and Minor League Hitting Coach Anthony Iapoce.

Merrillville to shut out lights by Nov. 4 :: Lake County :: Post-Tribune

Merrillville to shut out lights by Nov. 4 :: Lake County :: Post-Tribune: "The council voted to shut off every other street light on main streets, except at major intersections and where it is deemed unsafe to do so, and all the decorative lighting on 93rd Avenue in hopes of shaving $5,000 a month off its current $15,000 a month cost to operate the lights. No subdivisions will be affected by the cutback, however.

'I want to get down to $10,000 a month. That's what we can afford to pay,' said Councilman Richard Hardaway, D-2nd. He said if the town's action doesn't bring about the necessary savings, the council would have to make more cuts.

Hardaway asked Public Works Director Bruce Spires to provide a count of the number of lights disconnected by Nov. 4, when he will be meeting with Northern Indiana Public Service Co. officials to discuss actions the town has taken to lower its electric costs and to pay off its outstanding $400,000 bill."

Seriously... cut off traffic lights too (why not), darkness equal crime... What the hell?

INDIANAPOLIS. – The Indiana National Guard will hold a dedication ceremony for its newest facility, the Gary Airport Armory, Monday, Oct. 26, 10 a.m. CDT at the Armory, 6289 West Industrial Highway, Gary, Ind.

“The new armory adds to the capability of the Indiana National Guard in our mission to support the our nation, state and citizens of northwest Indiana. I am extremely excited to see the opening and this next step in our future,” said Indiana’s Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger.
