View this release in a browser
The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts is proud to present “Neepwaantiinki – Partners in Learning†at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 19. The event will be held in Kleymeyer Hall, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center, and will feature a discussion on the unique and reciprocal relationship between the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and Miami University.
The term “Neepwaantiinki†describes this special relationship, which is grounded in a shared commitment to learning from each other. The partnership has played a pivotal role in the Miami Tribe’s language revitalization efforts and has led to the first generation in almost 100 years to learn to speak the Myaamia language. Attendees will learn about cultural exchange and its impact on the community.
The presenter for the event is George Ironstrack, a citizen of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, who has participated in Myaamia language renewal projects since the mid-1990s. Ironstrack received a master’s degree in origins and history of the United States from the Department of History at Miami University, where his graduate work centered on the Miami Indian village of Pickawillany. He continues to regularly research and write about Myaamia history and is a tribal educator and former public school teacher.
The presentation is open to the public at no charge. For more information or questions, contact Dr. Kristalyn Shefveland, Associate Professor of History, at kmshefvela@usi.edu or 812-461-5434. Visit USI.edu/distscholar for more information.

SALUKIS EVEN SERIES WITH BASEBALL ACES WITH 6-3 SATURDAY WINÂ
CARBONDALE, Ill. – The visiting University of Evansville baseball team out-hit the Southern Illinois Salukis, 10-7, on Saturday, but SIU used a pair of three-run innings to even the Missouri Valley Conference series between the two schools with a 6-3 win at Itchy Jones Stadium in Carbondale, Illinois.  The series rubbermatch will take place on Sunday at 1 p.m. and can be seen live nationally on ESPNU.
“Today was a great college baseball game that just didn’t go our way,†said UE head coach Wes Carroll.  “We hit the ball hard today, but we seemed to hit it right at them in some key situations.  They also had the big three-run home run that we just couldn’t overcome.
“It’s a big game tomorrow with the series on the line.â€
Despite traffic for both sides in every half-inning except for one through the first three innings, the game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning, when SIU would manufacture its first three-run frame.  A lead-off double by catcher Cole Christman opened the frame, and after a walk, SIU second baseman Steven Loden laced an RBI single to center field to plate the game’s first run.
The Salukis would quickly load the bases with no one out in the inning, but after a pair of fly outs, it looked like UE starter Tyler Denu (2-2) would escape the jam.  A hit-by-pitch and a wild pitch, though, plated two more runs for SIU and gave the Salukis a 3-0 lead.
Evansville would immediately respond in the top of the fifth inning, plating two runs on RBI doubles by graduate outfielder Eric Roberts and junior shortstop Simon Scherry to trim the SIU lead to 3-2.  The momentum for UE would be short-lived though, as after a lead-off hit-by-pitch and a one-out single, Loden launched a three-run home run to right field in the bottom of the fifth inning to extend the SIU lead to 6-2.
Evansville would put two men on base in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings, but SIU relievers Scott Harper and Paul Bonzagni were able to tip-toe around the trouble to keep the lead at four runs.  Roberts would launch his MVC-leading 14th home run of the year to right field leading off the top of the ninth inning, but that would be the only run UE could muster in the ninth.
Roberts went 3-for-5 and finished a triple shy of the cycle, while driving in two runs.  Scherry also had a two-hit day for UE, as seven of the nine Evansville starters collected base hits.  Loden went 2-for-4 with his 11th home run of the year and four RBI to lead SIU.
The two teams will conclude the series on Sunday, with a pair of left-handers expected to get the start.  Evansville is expected to send junior LHP Donovan Schultz (4-2, 3.68 ERA) to the mound, and he is expected to be opposed by SIU LHP Tanner Lewis (2-1, 5.10 ERA).  The game can be seen live on ESPNU and heard live in the Tri-State area on 107.1 FM-WJPS and the Old National Bank/Purple Aces Sports Network from Learfield.

THUNDERBOLTS SEASON ENDS WITH LOSS IN ROANOKEÂ
 Roanoke, Va.:  Battling hard the entire way despite suffering several significant injuries through the game and not getting many lucky breaks, the Thunderbolts season came to a close with a 4-0 loss in Roanoke on Saturday night, falling in the best-of-three series two games to none.
Roanoke’s Gehrett Sargis opened the scoring once again late in the first period.  Earlier in the period, goaltender Zane Steeves stopped all 7 shots faced before having to leave the game, as he made a diving save off an exposed portion of his blocker hand, which was injured as a result.  In the second period, Matt O’Dea and Billy Vizzo further extended the lead to 3-0, before Alex DiCarlo made it 4-0 in the third period.  Despite Evansville putting 32 shots on goal, Roanoke goaltender Austyn Roudebush stopped all shots faced.  In a valiant performance coming off the bench in relief for Steeves, Lucas Fitzpatrick stopped 28 of 32 shots.
Despite the tough end to the season, it was another great year for the Thunderbolts, finishing with a franchise-best 32 wins in the regular season under 3rd-season head coach and runner-up to SPHL Coach of the Year Jeff Bes, the 32 wins becoming the most of any Evansville-based professional hockey team since the 2011-12 Evansville IceMen.  The 32 wins included 20 wins on home ice out of 28 games at Ford Center, one of the best home records league-wide.   Off the ice it was a great season as well, as the Thunderbolts finished the season with an average attendance of 3,109, a 23.2% increase from the 2021-22 season and new franchise-best in a third-consecutive year of growth.  2023-24 is already shaping up to be an even better season, beyond the summer months to come.
Attorney General Todd Rokita seeks justice for Hoosiers scammed in odometer rollback scheme
Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a lawsuit against a LaGrange County car dealer alleging the dealer rolled back odometers on vehicles sold to at least 42 consumers.
The lawsuit alleges that Flexible Auto Sales LLC — owned and operated by John Allen — rolled back odometers by a combined total of more than 3 million miles on the known vehicles.
“Here in Indiana, businesses must know they will face serious consequences if they betray the trust of Hoosiers in violation of the law,†Attorney General Rokita said. “We will hold them accountable, and we will make them pay.â€
The lawsuit alleges that the odometer-tampering violates the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act, the Indiana Odometer Act, the Federal Odometer Act and the Motor Vehicle Unfair Practices Act.
Attorney General Rokita seeks injunctive relief, consumer restitution, treble damages, civil penalties, costs and other relief.
Murray State rallies to take 5-4 win over UE softball
Racers score three runs on the sixth
MURRAY, Ky. – Scoring three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, Murray State overcame a 3-1 deficit before bringing in the winning run to defeat the University of Evansville softball team by a 5-4 score on Saturday at Racer Field.
It was the Racers who scored the opening run of the day in the second inning on a wild pitch. Evansville stormed right back in the top of the third as a 2-run home run by Marah Wood put her team in front. Sydney Kalonihea led off with a single to set up Wood’s 2-run shot with one out.
Hannah Hood added some insurance with an RBI triple in the top half of the sixth. Her hit brought in Jess Willsey to pad the lead at 3-1. Helped by a 2-run double from Ailey Schyck, Murray State retook a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth with a total of three runs crossing the plate.
Down to their last opportunity, the Purple Aces manufactured a run to send the game into extra innings. Once again, it was Kalonihea making a difference with a leadoff hit. She led off with a double and advanced to third on a ground out. That brought up Wood, who hit a sacrifice fly to knot the score at 4-4.
A lightning delay held the game up in the bottom of the seventh before play resumed. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Racers knotted the weekend series with a pair of hits. With a runner on second, Lily Fischer doubled to right field to bring the game-winner.
Wood completed the day with a 2-for-2 showing with a home run, three RBI and a run. Kalonihea was 2-4 and scored twice while Hood added two hits. Mikayla Jolly made the start for UE. In four innings off work, she gave up one run on four hits. Erin Kleffman tossed 1 1/3 innings with two runs scoring while Megan Brenton threw the final 3 1/3 innings with two runs scoring.
Sunday’s series finale is set for a 12 p.m. first pitch at Racer Field.
EPA Publishes a New Online Resource to Help Prevent Heavy Metal Exposures in Children
WASHINGTON (April 14, 2023) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released an online resource guide that connects the public to a suite of federal, state, and local resources in multiple languages on preventing heavy metal exposures from cultural products. Children and those who are pregnant are especially vulnerable to the health risks posed by exposure to heavy metals in certain products which may lead to long-term health risks. This newly available resource fulfills one of the many promised goals outlined in the 2022 EPA Strategy to Reduce Lead Exposures and Disparities in U.S. Communities, a strategy designed to reduce lead exposure in communities overburdened by pollution and advance the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to environmental justice and equity.Â
“One of EPA’s top priorities is protecting public health, especially the health of our children who are most vulnerable to health impacts from exposure to heavy metals such as lead,â€Â said Clifford Villa, Deputy Assistant Administrator for EPA’s Office of Land and Emergency Management. “The first step in preventing these exposures is knowing about them. This new resource guide increases access to vital environmental health information that can help protect children from harmful exposures in so many communities across the country.â€
Some cultural products like cosmetics, religious powders, spices, traditional medicine, and cookware, can contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. Exposure to contaminants such as lead can cause health impacts, including reduced IQ, learning difficulties, and behavior issues like hyperactivity and inability to pay attention. These effects may not be visible because they manifest later in life. The Heavy Metals in Cultural Products Online Resource guide identifies outreach materials designed to teach the public about how to identify and reduce exposure from these hazardous products.
While EPA does not regulate lead in these types of products, exposure to lead in such products may contribute to overall high blood lead levels. EPA co-leads and works with federal partners through the President’s Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children on topics of interest to children’s health, including lead exposures.
