Wassmer Leads Aces In First Day

PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – For the second tournament in a row, Caleb Wassmer is the early leader for the University of Evansville men’s golf team following the first day of action.  The Purple Aces played the opening 18 holes of the Golfweek Fall Challenge on Sunday at the True Blue Golf Club.

Wassmer toured the course in 73 strokes, just one over par.  His effort has him in a tie for the 31st spot with the first of three rounds complete.  One behind him was Isaac Rohleder, who carded a 2-over 74.  He stands in a tie for 43rd.

Dallas Koth recorded an opening-round score of 78.  In a close battle across the board, Koth is tied for 79th but is just five shots outside of the top 31.  Carson Parker wrapped up Sunday’s round with an 83 while Eli Rohleder checked in with an 86.

Mercer had the top team effort of the day, finishing with a 273 to sit eight strokes in front of Jacksonville State.  Martin Plukka of the Bears is tied with individual Harry Jones of Wofford for the individual lead.  Both finished with scores of 65, seven under par.

The second round of 18 is set for Monday with the final round of the 54-hole event set for Tuesday.

BIDEN SIGNS BILL PROVIDING SERVICE DOGS FOR THE STRUGGLING

September 13, 2021

President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed into law a pilot program to connect veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder with service dogs.

The Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers for Veterans Therapy Act — PAWS — requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish a five-year program to provide service dogs and training to veterans with PTSD.

A co-sponsor of the bill, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., a Navy veteran, was at the White House for the signing. She said in a tweet that similar programs have shown “great results” with veterans and that “we want to give that access to even more people.”

She said the signing was “the culmination of years of hard work to bolster services to address our veterans’ mental and physical health from so many people.”

Rory Diamond, CEO of K9s For Warriors, a nonprofit organization in Florida that provides service dogs to veterans, commended the White House for its support for the bill, which was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support this year. Diamond said it was “a critical step in combating veteran suicide.”

Schools become political ‘battlefield’ in culture wars Trump cultivated
From 2005 to 2018, nearly 90,000 veterans died by suicide, according to the most recent report from the VA.

As many as 20 of 100 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts have PTSD, according to the VA. The coronavirus pandemic has caused even more stress for veterans, with calls to the veteran’s crisis line surging by more than 15 percent last year. And experts agree that PTSD is underreported.

Unvaccinated Hoosiers and DUIs Make Indiana A High-Risk Travel State

INDIANAPOLIS— Indiana was ranked the 15th riskiest state to travel to this fall.

QuoteWizard, an insurance comparison platform, analyzed traffic safety and COVID-19 information from each state to come up with rankings.

Indiana was ranked 22nd in the country for the highest health risk. These rankings were calculated by the number of citizens vaccinated, hospital capacity, COVID-19 deaths, and the seven-day moving average for infections.

The biggest red flag for Hoosiers was vaccination statuses. Indiana ranked ninth in the country for the most unvaccinated citizens.

With 5,240 positive cases from Sept. 6 to 8, Indiana has hit the highest number of cases by day since January.

On Sept.1, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed an executive order after extending the state of emergency until Sept. 30. In that order, hospitals and schools were given more guidance. No mask mandate was made.

Quote Wizard noted that airline travel will not be as popular this fall due to COVID-19, so driving risks were calculated as well.

Indiana came out as the 20th riskiest state to drive in. This rating was calculated by driving-under-the-influence tickets, accidents and speeding.

For DUIs, Indiana ranked 16th.

According to Responsibility.org, in 2018, 227 Hoosiers were killed in drunk driving incidents.

In August, Holcomb and Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Executive Director Devon McDonald gave out 65 Traffic Safety-All-Star Awards to officers that in total had made 3,163 DUI arrests in 2020.

A release from the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute stated that drunk driving has been on the rise. Seventeen percent of last year’s traffic fatalities were alcohol-related.

Eagles win USI Invitational with three-set sweep of Wayne State

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Volleyball hit a blistering .394 en route to a 25-12, 25-23, 25-14 Midwest Region win over visiting Wayne State University to close out the USI Invitational with a perfect 4-0 mark on the weekend at Screaming Eagles Arena Saturday afternoon.

Sophomore outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) had a match-high 14 kills to go along with a .448 attacking percentage and eight digs to lead the Screaming Eagles, while junior middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri) finished with 10 kills, two blocks and an eye-popping .750 attacking percentage. Senior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) had a match-high 36 assists as she helped four different hitters post attacking percentages of .448 or better.

USI (6-2), which has won six straight matches, held the Warriors (6-2) to a .144 attacking percentage, including a negative .029 clip in the opening set. Senior libero Callie Gubera(Thorntown, Indiana) helped the Eagles’ defensive cause with a match-high 10 digs.

Litteken had five kills and a .667 attacking percentage to lead the Eagles in the opening set. USI hit .481 in the first frame as it cruised to the 13-point victory.

In the second frame, USI fought off a late Wayne State rally to pull out the two-point victory. Anderson racked up seven of her 14 kills in a hard-hitting second set that saw USI hit .316 and Wayne State hit .297.

Four different players had multiple kills for USI in the third set as USI hit .414 to close out the match with an 11-point victory.

The Eagles return to action Thursday at 7 p.m. when they host Maryville University at Screaming Eagles Arena to begin Great Lakes Valley Conference play.

Holcomb Issues Statement In Response To President Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate

1

INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement in response to President Joe Biden’s recent announcement to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for employers with more than 100 staff members.

“I believe the vaccine is the number one tool that will protect us and our loved ones against COVID-19. It is the tool that will end the pandemic. However, I strongly believe it’s not the state or federal government’s role to issue a vaccine mandate upon citizens and private businesses. This is the approach our administration has taken all along. The announcement from President Biden is a bridge too far. Private businesses should be able to look at their own mission, their staff and their goals and make the decision best for them that will keep their doors open.

I believe it is fundamentally a citizen’s right to choose whether or not to get the vaccine. While I wish everyone would get the vaccine, we are a country built on this exact type of freedom.”
