Consumer Alert: Products Recalled in September 

0

Todd Rokita is alerting Hoosiers of important consumer protection concerns for products recalled in September. Consumers should take full advantage of the solutions available for those who purchased the recalled items.    

“Hoosiers need to know if purchased items are flawed or have the potential to hurt them or their children,” Attorney General Rokita said. “This month, several recalled products are child-related,and it is important that parents pay careful attention to make sure their kids are safe. Consumer protection is one of my office’s top priorities. If you have difficulty finding a solution for your recalled product, call my office for help.”  

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the following consumer products were recalled in September:  

RIDGE Jogging Strollers from UPPAbaby 

Cityscape Travel Jogger Strollers from Baby Trend

Follow the notice’s instructions, including where to return the product, how to get the product fixed, how to dispose of the product, how to receive a refund for the product, or what steps must be taken to receive a replacement product.

USI Equity, Diversity And Inclusion Committee Partnering With Local High School

0

The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (EDIC), in partnership with Sophie Kloppenburg, a senior at Mount Vernon High School in Mount Vernon, Indiana; Posey County community members; and James M. Redwine, Posey County Circuit Court Judge, will dedicate a memorial commemorating seven African American victims of 1878 lynchings/murders in Posey County. A discussion will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday, October 23 at the Historic Hovey House, located at 330 Walnut Street in Mount Vernon. The memorial unveiling will follow the discussion at the southeast corner of the Posey County Courthouse Lawn.   

The Posey County site where the memorial will be placed is located where Posey County residents Jim Good, William Chambers, Edward Warner and Jeff Hopkins were lynched. Daniel Harrison, Sr., Daniel Harrison, Jr., and John Harrison were also murdered at other sites in the Posey County community. A grand jury was called to investigate the tragic events—however, no one was ever indicted.  

According to historian Leonard J. Moore, Southwest Indiana has a long history of racial violence and the threat of racial violence in the period following the American Civil War. The Indiana charter of the Ku Klux Klan began in Evansville in March 1922, and 22% of Evansville’s white male residents once belonged to the organization. Surrounding towns such as Rockport, Poseyville, Chandler and Grand View are suspected or confirmed “sundown” towns, according to the Indiana Archives, which kept or ran African Americans out through legislation of violent acts.  

USI has been at the forefront of creating a sense of regional identity since the founding of its Historic Southern Indiana outreach program in 1986. As a community who believes in equal justice for all, the USI College of Liberal Arts EDIC and partners of the initiative seek to finally condemn these racist actions, honor those who were killed and move forward. 

“This has been an example of a true community partnership, and we have utilized our research skills to support and bolster a dynamic individual (Sophie Kloppenburg) who has brought forth a transformative event for the Mount Vernon community,” says Dr. Kristalyn Shefveland, Associate Professor of History. “History nurtures personal and collective identity, but its discussion in textbooks, alone, alienates many. Public-facing projects such as this one, however, help to engage more people in their own history.” 

The memorial will consist of a dual-sided historical marker with a QR code leading to the David L. Rice Library Guides webpage. The webpage offers additional insight into the lynchings and secondary sources of information. A continued partnership will occur with the USI History Department and USI’s David L. Rice Library to maintain the website with extensive information to assist in the continual education of these historical events.

Trailblazers surpass 20 wins this season with road win at Lincoln Trail

0

ROBINSON, Ill. – The Vincennes University Trailblazer volleyball team surpassed a big milestone this season after picking up a four-set win at Lincoln Trail College Tuesday night.

VU notched their 20th win of the season with the win over the Statesmen 24-26, 25-13, 25-13, 25-23.

Set one set the tone for the match with the two teams trading points until Vincennes grabbed the lead with a 5-0 scoring run.

Lincoln Trail would rally back to take the lead after scoring eight out of nine points and closed out the set in overtime with a 4-1 scoring run to take the opening set 26-24.

The Lady Statesmen took the lead early in set two, before Vincennes grabbed all of the momentum of the match with a 10-0 scoring run by sophomore Lara Gomes de Castro (Sao Paulo, Brazil).

Lincoln Trail looked to battle back into the set but were unable to put a scoring run together as the Blazers closed out set two 25-13 to even the match at 1-1.

Vincennes continued to ride this momentum into the third set with an 8-0 scoring run by freshman Paige Parlanti (Las Vegas, Nev.) to give VU an 11-3 lead.

Lincoln Trail would answer with a 6-0 scoring run but were unable to take the lead back from the Blazers as VU took set three 25-13 and took a 2-1 match lead.

Looking to close out the match, Vincennes grabbed an early lead in the fourth set, leading 16-12.

Lincoln Trail used a 4-0 scoring run to take a late lead at 20-19 before VU quickly took the lead back and closed out the fourth set, going the distance, 25-23 and giving the Blazers the 3-1 match win.

“We were very tentative in the first set,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “It certainly didn’t help when we missed so many serves, we had at least five missed serves and at least two in some pretty crucial moments. Sometimes we don’t have five missed serves in a match, let alone one set. Also, our serve receive was sketchy at times tonight too. When we don’t have our passing going, it’s tough to get our sets out to the pins where we need them.”

 

Eagles’ Offense Can’t Get Going in Loss to Knights

0

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer fell to Bellarmine University on Tuesday night, 2-0. Offensively it was all Knights as they improve to 6-3-1 on the year while the Screaming Eagles fall to 1-8-2.
 
The USI defense played incredible in the first half, although allowing Bellarmine to get off 13 shots, they went into halftime scoreless. Alec Meissner (St. Charles, Missouri) played an incredible first half saving six of the 13 shots faced and was the main reason the Eagles kept the Knights out of the net. Offensively USI struggled, not recording a shot in the first half.
 
To open the second half, it looked like the Eagles were on fire. The defense continued to play great, and the offense was starting to get some momentum going. Unfortunately, the last 30 minutes curse struck again. Bellarmine was able to take the lead off a corner at the 66:50 mark that went in off the foot of Camden Dunne after a couple deflections. While the Eagles defense made their case to the official and the line judge for an offside call, the goal stood. The Knights were able to get some momentum going and were able to double their lead in the 74th minute off a goal from Jackson Kirn.
 
Bellarmine continued to dominate offensively the entire game, outshooting USI 25-10 and having a 12-2 advantage in shots on goal. Robert Schoenstein (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) led the Eagles in shots with three while Zach Barton (St. Louis, Missouri) and Nick Faddis (St. Louis, Missouri) had the two USI shots on goal. Meissner finished the match with 10 saves and allowed the two goals after facing 25 shots, the most shots allowed by the Eagles since September of 2021 when they allowed 24 against the University of Indianapolis.
 
UP NEXT FOR USI
The Eagles return home after their final non-conference match of the season to host Summit League foe in the University of Nebraska Omaha on Saturday, October 8, with kickoff from Strassweg Field at 7pm. If you can’t join us in person, you can watch all the action on ESPN+. After hosting the Mavericks, USI will head on the road for back-to-back matches, traveling to Denver, Colorado to take on Summit League Preseason favorite the University of Denver on October 19, then travel to St. Charles, Missouri to take on Lindenwood University on October 23. The Lions beat the Eagles earlier this season in a non-conference matchup, 2-1.
 
Omaha comes into the match with USI with a 4-4-1, 1-1 Summit League, record after fall to Denver on Saturday, 1-0. The Mavericks and Eagles are both tied for third in the conference with three points earned in conference play.
