INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH URGES PARENTS TO PRACTICE SAFE SLEEP FOR THEIR INFANTS

0
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) urges parents to take steps to protect the health and safety of their infants following a surge this month of deaths caused by unsafe sleep environments.

IDOH has learned of more than 10 infant deaths related to unsafe sleep in August. Indiana typically averages two such cases a week over the course of a year. Suffocation caused by unsafe sleep environments is the third leading cause of death for all Indiana infants.

Unsafe situations often involve co-sleeping with an adult (such as in a bed), blankets and pillows in the baby’s crib, or the baby being placed on his or her stomach to sleep. In Indiana between 2015-2019, 36% of unsafe sleep deaths occurred during naptime (Source: IDOH SUID Report, Division of Family Health Data and Fatality Prevention), so it’s essential to sleep in a safe place every time.

“I can’t stress enough how important it is to place babies in a safe sleep environment,” said State Health Commissioner Lindsay Weaver, M.D., FACEP. “These tragic deaths are preventable and can have a profound impact on communities.”

Babies should be placed to sleep following the ABCs of safe sleep:

  • Alone: Babies should be placed alone with caregiver nearby in the same room.
  • Back: On his or her back.
  • Crib: With only a tight-fitting sheet, no bumper pads, pillows, blankets or stuffed animals. Never place a baby to sleep on a couch, chair, air mattress, or other soft surface. Do not let baby sleep in a baby swing or bouncer. Adults, siblings, and animals should not sleep with baby.
Other precautions to ensure babies have a safe environment include having a breastfeeding and safe sleep plan. IDOH is working with the Department of Child Services and other partners across the state to increase awareness about safe sleep.

Show Your Pride: Get Your Low Number “D” Plate!

We want to remind all Democrats — especially our new members — about the Low Number “D” License Plate Program and how important it is to keep this tradition alive. These special plates are a visible way to show your Democratic pride and support for our party across Indiana.

Democratic County Chairs have the authority to assign D plates numbered 1–100 in their respective counties. For example, in Vanderburgh County (County #82), available plates range from 82 D 1 to 82 D 100. To maintain the program’s viability, it’s essential that these plates are actively used — so let’s get them on the road!

If you’re interested in applying or want to claim a low-number plate, please contact Cheryl Schultz at 812-459-7645 to check availability and receive the required application form.

Let’s represent our values and show Indiana that Democrats are on the move! 💙🚗

Mroz Named Preseason All-MVC

0

MVC Men’s Soccer team in a vote of the league’s head coaches. A 2024 MVC All-Freshman Team pick, Mroz was one of 11 student-athletes named to the league’s preseason all-conference team.

As a freshman last season, Mroz was an integral part of Evansville’s run to the MVC Tournament championship, starting all 21 matches in goal. Mroz posted an 11-7-3 record with a 1.55 goals against average and posted five clean sheets, the second-most in the Valley. Mroz also ranked second in the MVC with 4.10 saves per game, holding a season save percentage of .723.

Mroz rose to the occasion during the Aces’ MVC championship run, most notably shutting out top-seeded and nationally-ranked Missouri State in the MVC Tournament semifinal. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Massachusetts, Mroz made a season-high nine saves.

Evansville opens regular season play on Thursday, playing host to Bellarmine at Arad McCutchan Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM.

Exhibit celebrates anniversaries of New Harmony Gallery and collaboration with USI

0

The University of Southern Indiana New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) commemorates 50 years of exhibitions while honoring 40 years with the University of Southern Indiana in a milestone exhibition titled, Look Both Ways: 50 Years at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art.

The exhibit, organized by Gallery Curator Audra Verona Lambert and Senior Gallery Associate Grant DiDomizio as Assistant Curator, opens to the public with a reception from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, September 6 including curator presentations and refreshments for gallery visitors. The exhibit, on view from Saturday, September 6 to Sunday, November 9, features artists from across the region and the United States.

Look Both Ways charts the evolution of the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art while presenting artworks that “look both ways,” speaking to both the impact of the gallery’s exhibition history and celebrating the avant-garde vision integral to the gallery’s identity. With pivotal artworks on display spanning printmaking, clay, painting, mixed media, installation, photography, sculpture and new media, every visitor will find something to ignite their curiosity.

“The impact of this gallery over the years is substantial, and this exhibit allows guests to grasp the myriad ways New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art has featured engaging work by living artists since its very founding,” reflects Lambert. “From an exhibit timeline tracking key developments to an audio guide that lets visitors hear directly from exhibiting artists, this exhibit makes our cultural impact tangible.”

Two presentation areas, Positions and Participation, speak to the dynamic facets of the gallery. Positions highlights how specific artistic mediums, such as clay and printmaking, have been featured in exhibits over the years. Participation, in contrast, speaks to the ways that communities have shown with the gallery, ranging from past USI Faculty showcases to New Harmony Clay Project artist-in-residency shows.

Prominent artists will be displayed whose artistic practice links to the themes in the exhibit and speaks to the gallery’s ongoing legacy. These include Stephen Pace, Mary Beth Edelson, Lenore Tawney, Janet Olivia Henry, Andy Warhol, Pablo Helguera, Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr., Michael Aakhaus, JP Begley, Anila Quayyam Agha, Katie Waters, Bill Whorral, Rudy Pizzoti and others.

A portion of the gallery is dedicated to new media art that speaks to themes that tie into the unique aspects of New Harmony as a location. Postcards from past shows and investigations of analog art forms such as mail art also will be on display alongside interactive elements for all ages to explore. A catalog and audio guide will expand access to information about the exhibit.

The Gallery is commemorating this joint 40th and 50th anniversary occasion with a series of events from September to November. The 50th anniversary birthday celebration weekend will be held from Friday through Sunday, November 7-9, with a public artmaking “block party” held at the Gallery from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, November 7. A free public presentation series will take place from 1:30-3 p.m. Saturday, November 8 at Historic New Harmony’s Atheneum, followed by a ticketed reception and auction. On Sunday, November 9, the Gallery will remain open after a special tour of the Trees of 40 Fruit with visiting artist Sam Van Aken at 10:30 a.m. For more details, visit the gallery’s events page at USI.edu/nhgallery

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, unless otherwise stated.

The NHGCA is proud to work with the University of Southern Indiana Art Collection, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection and many private collections and artists’ studios. Anniversary activities are provided with support from USI, the Efroymson Family Fund and the Gallery’s Advisory Board members.
