ALL-AMERICAN FEENEY TO RETURN IN 2016

0
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana first team All-American offensive lineman Dan Feeney will return to school for his final year of eligibility in 2016, he announced Monday.

“I am excited to continue to be a part of this great program,” Feeney said. “Coach Wilson and Coach Frey were extremely valuable during this process and I thank them for their assistance. They are great coaches and have taught me so much both on the field and in life. I look forward to continuing to learn from both of them. I am blessed to have great teammates who are like brothers to me. We are not satisfied and are looking to finish what all the coaches and players have started. With the commitment this university and administration have made to this program, we are ready to reach a new level and can’t wait to get started. Go IU!”

Feeney, an ESPN, Associated Press, CBS Sports and SI.com All-America selection as a redshirt junior in 2015, has allowed just one sack in 37 career starts at right guard (2,719 snaps). In 2015, he did not allow a sack in 475 called pass attempts.

The Orland Park, Ill., native finished with a team-best 102 knockdowns in 1,069 snaps. A first team All-Big Ten honoree, Feeney was also an Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award Watch Lister.

“Dan put a lot of time and thought into this decision,” head coach Kevin Wilson said. “We are excited he is returning and really like the direction this program is headed. Dan is one of the best players I have ever been around. He is the total package, not only on the field but in the way he approaches the game and who he is as a person. This is a great opportunity for him to continue to grow as a player, teammate and leader, and enhances the value of his football future. By the time he is done, Dan will be one of the best to ever wear an Indiana uniform.”

Indiana finished 2015 first in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense, while placing second in rushing offense in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers became the first team since Ohio State in 1995 to lead the league in total, passing and scoring offense.

IU led the Big Ten in scoring offense for the first time since the league began using the entire season as the statistical champion in 1985. Indiana had not led the league in total offense since 1988.

The Hoosiers became the fourth college football team to have a 3,500-yard passer, a pair of 1,000-yard running backs and a 1,000-yard receiver in the same year. IU was also one of only two Power Five conference teams with two 1,000-yard running backs (Baylor).

Anonymous Tip Nets Meth Lab, Two Suspects, and Multiple Felony Charges

0

An anonymous tip received Thursday led Troopers to a meth lab and later the arrest of the two suspects who made it.

Around 5:24 P.M. Thursday, Troopers with the Indiana State Police received an anonymous tip that two men were manufacturing methamphetamine along the river bank near the boat ramp parking lot in Troy.

Troopers, along with members of the Perry County Sheriff’s Department and the Tell City Police Department entered the wooded area and began to search for the location of the meth lab and suspects.

Officers observed Joshua W. Robbins, 26, of Tell City kneeling down and working with something on the ground. He was charged with:
– Manufacturing Methamphetamine, Level 5 Felony
– Dumping Controlled Substance Waste, Level 6 Felony
– Possession of Precursors, Level 6 Felony
– Maintaining a Common Nuisance, Level 6 Felony
– Obstruction of Justice, Level 6 Felony

As officers announced their presence and identity, Robbins began throwing items into the Ohio River.

Officers observed Robbins throw the reaction vessel used in the manufacturing of methamphetamine into the water, which once coming into contact with the water, caught on fire and began emitting strong chemical fumes.

Shortly thereafter, Robbins complied with instructions given by the officers and was placed into custody without incident.

Officers found two hydrogen chloride (HCl) generators, a “one-pot” meth lab, sulfuric acid, lithium, and salt at the scene with Robbins, all of which are chemicals and precursors used to manufacture methamphetamine.

The second male, Gordon Poehlein, 45, Tell City, who was seen by officers but had left the area before he could be taken into custody, was later located at his Tell City residence.

Poehlein was charged with:

– Manufacturing Methamphetamine, Level 5 Felony
– Possession of Precursors, Level 6 Felony
– Maintaining a Common Nuisance, Level 6 Felony

He was wearing the same clothing at the time of his arrest as when he was visually identified by officers earlier in the evening. Officers later learned that Poehlein had purchased pseudoephedrine earlier in the day to be used in the meth lab. Poehlein was jailed without incident.

The Indiana State Police and Perry County law enforcement encourage citizens to continue to be proactive with their assistance against drug activity.

Those with information are asked to continue to help their communities by calling the Indiana State Police at 1-812-482-1441 or your local law enforcement agency with tips and information. You can remain anonymous.

12 Questions With The Reds; Insight into 2016

0

At the annual affiliate’s luncheon at the Cincinnati Red’s Great American Ball Park, club owner Bob Castellini, GM Walt Jocketty and other members of the Reds staff answered questions about the teams’ upcoming season.

Chief among the questions was the Red’s stability into the season.

When asked about the commitment to winning in 2016, Jocketty had this to say: 

“We are definitely committed. These decisions we made this past year were not easy. Trading Quetos and Leak…trading Chapman and Frazier were the toughest calls. What we’re trying to do is…looking at the division as it stands today. St. Louis has been on top for quite a while. The Cubs are emerging now with the young players they have…they were down for quite a while. We’re drafting second in the country. So we’re going to get some really quality draft picks.”

Jocketty went on to talk about how the Reds fit in the league with other teams:

“The Pirates have been continually been getting better. We thought it was best to take a step back and ty to rebuild this franchise with depth and as Jeff [Brantley] mentioned, we had some guys this year who stood out. It will take 3-4 years to get them to the threshold.”

Asked about the Reds strengths, Jocketty said:

“Our strength has been pitching, but we have some position players that were close to major leagues. We’re very committed to winning. I can assure you Mr. Castellini is very much committed to winning. That’s why we’re increasing our scouting and player development staffs. We’re really focusing on developing a core unit like we had in 2010 and through those years we were successful.”

Jocketty also fielded a question about the young players in the organization:

“We are going to develop from within. We can’t afford to go out and sign a lot of free agents. I’m excited about the guys we’re going to see in spring training. I can’t tell you who is going to play a certain position because I don’t know. They are going to be eager and anxious to show us what they can do.”

Jocketty, who will be replaced by new General Manager Dick Williams next season, said the Reds are working on training sessions for the new staff and just completed a session with picthers. 

“Two weeks ago we had a pitching summit. We brought all the young starters from last year and some of the top young pitchers we have in the organization…who we think can pitch in Cincy. We had Bryan Price….our pitching coordinator…myself, Dick Williams was there. We also had Bob Rotella, our mental skills coach….he facilitated the meetings. What we focused on…..Homer was the veteran there…He stepped in and gave his input on what it’s like to be a Cincinnati Red. We’re building confidence, setting goals, letting them know what they have to do to be successful. Terrific three days. We told them…you guys are the ones who will have to lead this team in the future. They were so proud….so proud to be a part of the foundation we’re started. We’re going to try to do this with the hitters and young position players. Those are the type of things we’re working on to try and rebuild the organization to bring it back to championship level.”

Jocketty was asked about more trades. 

“We will wait for spring training. There are a lot of free agents out there. We’re not really in that market.One thing we’ll keep looking at is how to improve the bullpen.”

Bob Castelllini was asked about adding Pete Rose to the Red’s Hall of Fame. 

“Pete Rose. He’s our modern day Tye Cobb…with some baggage. He’s one of the greatest players to ever play for the Cincinnati Reds. One of the real secrets to Pete’s influence on the game was wherever he played, he made the players play better. He even made the competitor’s play better. I felt the commissioner gave full service to reinstating him…i thought his analysis was from the heart. Both those fellows have told me they appreciated each other. But it is what it is.

Would the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame ever reinstate Rose? 

Castellini said, “I know there is still a possibility the [MLB] Hall of Fame could change their direction and allow Pete to be up for a vote. But when you get on balance….you look at this fellow and that he was one of the greatest players we ever had. We felt it was right and just to immediately put him up for a vote in our hall of fame. and it was unanimous.

i’m proud that we did it and proud of pete for standing up like a man and saying ‘I made my mistakes — I love baseball and i love the Cincinnati Reds’.

He said right over here [the other day] ‘This is the greatest baseball day of my life’ I hope that’s the same for our fans.”

With the 2nd Round MLB Draft Pick this year, have the Reds singled anyone out? 

Jeff Graupe, Director of Player Development answered, “Not yet. It’s still early in the process. Chris Buckley and his staff have been working on this for quite a while. Probably in the next two months you’ll hear things.”

Who will be the team to beat in this division in 2016?

Jocketty answered, “The Cubs. With their young players….they probably have a leg up.”

Will Cozart be ready to play? 

Jocketty answered: “My understanding – I haven’t seen him sense Reds Fest….He’s right on track. Until he gets out on the field, we won’t know for sure. I fully expect he’ll be ready and 100 percent by the start of the season. He had a pretty nasty injury but we expect him to be back.”

When asked about Former Reds Manager Lou Piniella returning to the Reds in some manner? 

Jocketty had this to say: “That’s correct. Hopefully we’ll be able to announce something in the near future. He’ll be able to come back in some capacity. He came to Reds Fest. He was here and enjoyed it. He’s a Red.”

Castellini had this to say: 

[Piniella] had the good fortune of having Bryan be his pitching coach in Seattle. They’re very close. There is a good possibility he will come join us for a little bit in spring training and maybe come half a dozen times a year.

I’m particularly interested in his interface with Bryan and how they think of each other…how he and Bryan interact. This is going to be a year of young pitchrs. They are going to make or break us out of the gate. And it’s up to Bryan and his staff to develop them. Lou’s been through this before with Bryan. i love the guy.”
