Thank You Veterans<\/strong>
Today, November 11th<\/sup> is Veteran\u2019s Day! Originally known as Armistice Day, Veteran\u2019s Day honors military veterans, who are people who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Veteran\u2019s Day is distinct from Memorial Day, which honors those who had died while in military service; Armed Forces Day, which honors those currently serving in the U.S. military; and, Women Veterans Day, which specifically honors women who have served in the U.S. military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Hoosiers take care of Butler in season opener<\/strong>
Indiana Women\u2019s Basketball is 1-0 after an 86-63 road win at Butler Wednesday Night. It\u2019s the first time that Hoosiers have opened on the road to start a season since Teri Moren became head coach 8 years ago. Indiana is now 8-1 all-time against the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicole Cardano-Hillary scored 29 points, a career high at Indiana, including 7-8 from the 3-point line. \u201cI have been definitely focusing on those threes\u201d Cardano Hillary said in the post-game press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever we fed Nikki before the game we need to keep feeding her; she was tremendous from beyond the arc,\u201d Head Coach Teri Moren jokingly remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace Berger scored 18 points and became the 29th<\/sup> player in Indiana Women\u2019s Basketball history to score 1,000 career points. \u201cShe has become an extortionary player and means just as much to our program as the players that came before her\u201d Moren said. Mackenzie Holmes added 11 points and Kiandra Browne added 10 points off the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana had 24 assists with 10 of those coming from Ali Patberg but she was held to 6 points and 3 rebounds. The Hoosiers committed 9 turnovers. The Hoosiers were 8-8 from the foul line but struggled from beyond the arc going 8 for 26 for 30 percent. 11 of the 13 Hoosiers played in the game. Coach Moren says the team has a whole lot of work to do before Sunday\u2019s Home opener against Kentucky at 5 PM.  \u201cWe need to get back to Bloomington and between now and Sunday we need to get a whole lot better defensively\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City of Bloomington continues investigation into impact of their \u201ccontrolled burn\u201d<\/strong>
The City of Bloomington and the Bloomington Fire Department (BFD) continue to investigate and address environmental impacts of the \u201ccontrolled burn\u201d of a structure at 1213 South High Street on Friday, November 5th<\/sup>. The BFD has developed a map of affected properties<\/a> based on the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM)\u2019s evaluation integrated with results of lead testing completed by the City\u2019s Housing and Neighborhood Development Department (HAND).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the controlled burn, BFD crews led by Bloomington Fire Chief Jason Moore have been surveying the vicinity, collecting debris, and going door to door daily to survey residents, answer questions, and document any dissemination of debris. The City has contracted with two independent companies to help in remediation, which are evaluating approximately 102 properties that were downwind of the fire, including seven properties in the immediate remediation area. Together, the companies have approximately 18 staff members on the job. Crews have prioritized cleanup of paint flakes.  Results of dust testing are pending.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to conducting the training exercise, the controlled burn had been reviewed and approved by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), which required that materials including furniture, carpeting, asphalt roofing shingles, roofing underlayment, and vinyl siding be removed from the structure prior to the exercise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
