New superintendent taking over at Indiana Dunes National Park
The new Indiana Dunes National Park superintendent will be Jason Taylor, a 15-year veteran of the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service who has worked in areas ranging from Massachusetts to Alaska.
“Having spent most of my career in faraway places,” Taylor said in a National Park Service news release, “I am excited to return home to serve the people and resources of the Great Lakes states.
“I am looking forward to joining the talented park staff and contributing to the exceptional work already happening to care for a place that’s so special, ecologically and culturally, and to the community and partners.”
Taylor will start his job at Indiana Dunes this spring, working remotely at first before moving to the area in May.
He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan – Flint and his doctorate from the University of Michigan.
He succeeds Paul Labovitz, the park’s superintendent for nine years until retiring last June.
Chris Pergiel has been acting superintendent since Labovitz retired. He formerly was deputy superintendent.
During Labovitz’s tenure, Congress changed the park’s name and status from Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore to Indiana Dunes National Park, and the park started charging for admission.

The name change enhanced the park’s stature.
Indiana Dunes also is said to be one of the more botanically diverse areas of the National Park Service.
Taylor has worked for more than three years as director of the U.S. Forest Service’s Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute in Missoula, Montana.
He previously worked for the National Park Service in 2013, serving at Cape Cod National Seashore as chief of natural resource management and science.
He also worked for the National Park Service as Alaska’s regional chief of natural resources.
He went on to be superintendent of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Skagway, Alaska, before joining the Forest Service.
National Park Service Midwest Region Director Bert Frost said, in the news release announcing Taylor’s appointment to Indiana Dunes, that Taylor’s “ability to manage resources through integrating science and ecology with land use principles will be a great asset to the park and the interdisciplinary team of professionals who steward it.”

Ohio State was looking to cap off an undefeated regular season with a win over Indiana in the Big Ten Championship Game Saturday, but it wasn’t meant to be. In a defensive struggle, the Hoosiers made more plays when it mattered most and took advantage of their opportunities late for an old-school, classic 13-10 win in Lucas Oil Stadium
Give Indiana credit, but it was not the best game for the Buckeyes, and Ohio State head coach Ryan Day was clearly short and irritated after the contest in his postgame press conference. He didn’t take anything away from the Hoosiers, but was quick to point out the lack of execution by his team.
We have the entire Big Ten Championship Game press conference by Ryan Day and quarterback Juilian Sayin, thanks to the WBNS 10TV YouTube channel. Day laments the third-down conversions, play of the offensive line, lack of a running game, and more.
Ohio State must now regroup and try to go on another magical run like it did last year after another 13-10 loss as it gets ready for the College Football Playoff. We’ll know exactly what that path looks like on Sunday when the last CFP rankings are revealed.

The biggest college football game of the season (so far) takes place on Saturday when the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes face the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers for the Big Ten Championship. They’re both guaranteed a spot in the College Playoff, but, as the only two undefeated teams left, bragging rights and the Heisman trophy are both on the line. The championship game will go down on Hoosier territory at Lucas Oil Stadium.

SOUTH BEND, IN (WSBT) — On Friday, December 5th, the new Indiana Congressional Redistricting Map passed the Indiana House of Representatives, sending it to the Indiana State Senate.
Indiana University South Bend Political Science Professor, Elizabeth Bennion, said that some communities could potentially be split by the new potential lines.
This could put a strain on on local and county governments to place new voter precincts to fit the new districts.
According to Bennion, the lines were drawn using a super computer that was coded to give Republicans the best opportunity to win all 9 of Indiana’s House of Representative seats.
“One of the things we know about how this map is determined is that super computers are being used to Get as many GOP districts as possible. In other words to try to get as many safe seats for Republican candidates as possible to maximize the likelihood that the GOP will hold all of the seats in the US congressional delegation for the state of Indiana,” said Bennion.
