VUVB Lands Turkish Middle Blocker Tuana Turhan
VINCENNES, Ind. – The 2021 Region 24 Champion Vincennes University Volleyball team filled a big need over the weekend with the signing of middle blocker Tuana Turhan from Ankara, Turkey.
Tuana is a six-foot-one middle blocker and is the daughter of Gülüzar and Enver Turhan.
Tuna began playing club volleyball in Turkey in 2015 when she played for Anadolu Yıldızları.
In the 2015-16 season, she played for TEÄ°AÅž sports club, where helped the team place third in the Juniors division in 2016 and second in 2017. Her new club also finished first in the Star division in 2017 as well.
Tuana then switched to play for Vakıfbank sports club during the 2017-18 season. With Vakıfbank sports club, Turhan helped the team place second in the Star division and fourth in the Juniors division.
These placements earned her team a spot in the Turkish Championships in both divisions. Her team would go on to place fourth in the junior girl’s Turkish Championships.
Turhan then went on to play for Eczacıbaşı sports club during the 2019-20 season before changing to play the past two seasons for Eryaman Gençlik Sports Club.
“Tuana’s acceptance to a deep-rooted University like Vincennes and to the women’s volleyball team not only makes me proud but also I can understand how happy she is by the sparkle in her eye,†Tuana’s Club Coach at Eryaman, Hülya Düz said. “Tuana is a passionate and competitive volleyball player who is high-spirited.â€
“She is an athlete who can carry these traits to her team in a positive way, increase the level of her teammates, make the best use of the team in every position, both defensively and offensively, and create an environment for her team to benefit from her at the highest level and catch the harmony very well in her sportive and normal life,†Düz added. “I sincerely believe that Tuana will represent VU and contribute in the Academic and Sports areas in the best ways possible and I wish her success.â€
Turhan comes to VU as a stellar student as well academically, receiving an Honorary certificate in 2018 and certificates of outstanding achievement during the 2020 and 2021 academic years.
Turhan is still undecided about what to major in at Vincennes University but says she will likely either major in Automotive Science or Engineering at VU.
“We are expecting Tuana to fill one of the two middle hitter positions in the fall as we do not have anyone back who played that position last year,†VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “Tuana is a well-rounded player and we look for her to score points on her attacks and especially in her blocking. We feel her training at an elite level in Turkey has equipped her to do this well and consistently. Her transition abilities, timing and footwork are exceptional.â€

Attorney General Rokita leads 16-state coalition to stop indirect Medicaid funding of abortion
Attorney General Todd Rokita is leading a 16-state coalition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to end a private challenge of a state policy preventing abortion clinics from receiving Medicaid funds.
“Federal law has long prohibited Medicaid dollars from being used to fund abortions,†Attorney General Rokita said. “But abortion clinics skirt the law by accepting Medicaid funds for other services and using profits to subsidize their abortion business. The Supreme Court should enable state legislatures to close this loophole.â€
The court should prohibit individuals and abortion providers from privately suing states that enforce such laws on behalf of taxpayers, Attorney General Rokita said.
In an amicus brief filed Monday, Attorney General Rokita specifically supports a South Carolina effort to exclude Planned Parenthood from being eligible for Medicaid funding — but previously Indiana and other states have also tried unsuccessfully to take similar action.
The Supreme Court should help settle the issues at stake, Attorney General Rokita said, because federal appeals courts in different judicial circuits have reached conflicting decisions.
“Hoosiers have the right to know that their tax dollars will not be used to end the lives of unborn children,†Attorney General Rokita said. “We are fighting for that right in the defense of those who cannot defend themselves.â€
Are You Kidding Me
Are You Kidding Me

As many American families are struggling during the current inflationary
spiral of increasing prices, our House Of Representatives in Washington D.C. has decided to take a drastic action to help.Â
The House of Representatives will soon announce they will be giving themselves, their staffers in Washington, and local district offices, along with the Capitol Police, free Peloton memberships using your taxpayer dollars
According to Fox News, “Beginning May 18, the government contract with fitness giant Peloton, under efforts from the House Center for Well-Being, will be offered to the estimated 10,000 people on staff working for the House of Representatives and about 2,300 Capitol Police officers.â€
The contract terms will include an initial $10,000 payment to Peloton, plus an extra $10 per month charge for each member that is utilized. Potentially, if the estimated 10,000 staffers and 2,300 Capitol Police officers take advantage of this benefit, it could cost us, taxpayers, up to approximately $123,000 each month. That is potential $1,476,000 tax payers dollars per year.Â
If you’re like me, I’m paying higher food cost, higher gas cost, higher everything cost, and I’m wondering why the people we elected who should be diligently working to solve the current inflationary problem, are off enjoying their free Peloton membership on our “dimeâ€.
Enough is Enough! Contact your appropriate Indiana Representative and tell them “Are You Kidding Meâ€.
