EPD DAILY ACTIVITY REPORT

Eagles rally past Sailfish, sweep Badgers for two wins

0

PENSACOLA, Fla.—Junior middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri) racked up five kills on five swings in the deciding frame of University of Southern Indiana Volleyball’s five-set victory over Palm Beach Atlantic University and the Screaming Eagles completed a perfect day at the UWF Springhill Suites Invitational with a three-set win over Spring Hill College Saturday afternoon.

Litteken’s effort in USI’s 20-25, 14-25, 25-16, 25-22, 15-10 victory over Palm Beach Atlantic capped off a come-from-behind win for USI, which improved to 2-2 on the year.

After attacking at a mere .029 clip through two sets, USI erupted to hit .360 in the third frame as Litteken converted all five of her swings into kills. Sophomore outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) racked up seven of her team-high 13 kills in the fourth set as USI won 12 of the final 17 rallies to erase a 17-13 deficit and force the deciding fifth set.

Litteken had three of her five kills in the first four rallies as USI took an early 3-1 lead in set five. She had a kill and teamed up with freshman outside hitter Evie Duncan (Evansville, Indiana) on a pair of blocks in a 7-0 USI run that turned a 7-6 advantage into a match-point opportunity.

Palm Beach Atlantic (2-1) stymied the Eagles on four consecutive match-point opportunities until Litteken sealed the victory with a kill. Litteken finished the match with 11 kills, a .348 attacking percentage, five digs and six blocks for USI, which posted a .329 attacking percentage throughout the final three sets.

Freshman outside hitter Abby Weber (Fishers, Indiana) had 12 kills and three aces, while sophomore right side hitter/setter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) finished with 33 assists and 11 digs. Senior libero Callie Gubera (Thorntown, Indiana) had a match-high 26 digs to lead USI’s back row.

Anderson had 13 kills and 14 digs to pace the Eagles in their 25-19, 25-21, 25-21 victory over Spring Hill (0-4) in the nightcap. Her five kills and seven digs in the second frame helped the Eagles overcome a seven-point deficit.

Weber added 10 kills and 16 digs, while Koch finished with 10 kills, seven assists and eight digs. Senior middle blocker Sydney Hegg (Menasha, Wisconsin) added nine kills and a .643 attacking percentage, while Litteken turned 16 of her attacks into seven kills and a .438 attacking clip.

Gubera chipped in 16 digs, while senior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) bounced back from a tough performance in the opener by racking up 36 assists and nine digs.

USI opens its 2021 home schedule as well as the five-team USI Invitational Thursday at 7 p.m. when it hosts the University of Alabama-Huntsville at Screaming Eagles Arena.

Religious Leaders Call On Lawmakers To Make Moral Decisions On Redistricting

Religious Leaders Call On Lawmakers To Make Moral Decisions On Redistricting

By Haley Pritchett

TheStatehouseFile.com 

INDIANAPOLIS—Religious leaders gathered outside of the Indiana Statehouse chapel Wednesday to plead with lawmakers to make fair, moral decisions regarding redistricting.

Lawmakers are set to release the first drafts of maps for the U.S. House of Representatives and the Indiana House of Representatives on Sept. 14 and for the Indiana Senate on Sept. 21. They have also set two public meetings following those dates for input.

“Blessed are the mapmakers for they shall redistrict the children of God,” reads a sign at Wednesday’s press conference at the Statehouse chapel. Photo by Haley Pritchett, TheStatehouseFile.com.

While efforts such as those meetings and a public map-drawing portal have been made to include Hoosiers, the religious leaders still doubt the integrity and inclusion behind the process.

Rev. Patrick Burke of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church said the drawing of Indiana’s legislative districts so far has not been open, transparent or fair. The party that holds the power during the time of redistricting—in this case, the supermajority Republican party—has been using the process of redrawing districts to skew the system in the direction of their favor, he said.

“That’s about preserving power,” he said. “That’s not about equality.”

Angel Espada, executive director of the Indiana Catholic Conference, said lawmakers should be working to protect their brothers and sisters, especially those who are the most vulnerable.

Espada gave the example that children do not know laws or morals, yet they can judge what is fair and what is not. She asked lawmakers to do the same, especially the one-third of them who identify as Catholic.

“If you are getting ready to draw a map so that you remain in power, you are not putting other people before yourself,” she said.

Rev. David Greene, senior pastor of Purpose of Life Ministries, said it was strange that the people who rely on citizens to get elected and obtain power will turn around and exercise their power negatively for the same citizens who voted for them. He said that a person’s voice is given to them by God, and it is sacred. When politicians use gerrymandering, the intentional manipulation of districts for political gain, they are robbing someone of their God-given right.

“Yes, [gerrymandering] is a sin, and it should have no place in our democracy,” Greene said.

Religious leaders and members of All IN for Democracy, a group gathered to advocate for fair maps, say they have had little luck getting in touch with lawmakers in a meaningful way.

Republicans in the House of Representatives were unable to be reached. In a statement to the Statehouse File in June, however, Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, R-Martinsville, said the process of redistricting was transparent and fair.

“In Indiana, the General Assembly is responsible—per our state’s constitution—to draw legislative and congressional maps, and that’s a task we take very seriously. Public trust in the process is paramount, and to that end, we intend to have a very transparent process where we gather feedback from Hoosiers across the state,” he said.

Senator Braun Calls For Answers From Biden On Afghanistan

0

JASPER, IN — Today, Senator Mike Braun joined a letter with 25 Senate Republican colleagues to President Biden calling for answers on how many Americans are left in Afghanistan, what steps the administration is taking to ensure that individuals who are not American citizens, Special Immigrant Visa applicants or green card holders are thoroughly vetted and their identities verified before entering the United States, as well as other questions related to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“We write regarding the humanitarian crisis created by your withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan, and the safety and well-being of our fellow countrymen and allies who you left behind. The signatories of this letter may have differing opinions about whether the United States should have maintained a military presence in Afghanistan, but we all agree that the arbitrary and poorly-planned method by which you withdrew from Afghanistan caused this crisis.”

The letter requests the following questions be answered by Tuesday, September 7:

How many American citizens does the administration believe to remain in Afghanistan?

 Of the American citizens still in Afghanistan, how many are currently in contact with the State Department?

 Of the American citizens still in Afghanistan, how many have expressed a desire to be repatriated to the United States?

How did the administration reach this estimate, and what steps is the administration taking to find and connect with Americans who may still be in Afghanistan but who are not in contact with the State Department.

How many green-card holders does the administration believe to remain in Afghanistan?

Of the green-card holders still in Afghanistan, how many are currently in contact with the State Department?·

Of the green card holders still in Afghanistan, how many have expressed a desire to be repatriated to the United States?·

How did the administration reach this estimate, and what efforts is the administration taking to find and connect with green-card holders who may still be in Afghanistan but who are not in contact with the State Department?

How many Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants remain in Afghanistan?

 Of the SIVs remaining in Afghanistan, how many have already received final SIV approval from the U.S. Center for Immigration Services?·

Of the SIVs remaining in Afghanistan, how many are currently in contact with the State Department?·

Of the approved SIVs and the SIV applicants who were evacuated, how many served for a year or more as interpreters or translators for American or allied armed forces in Afghanistan?·

Are the State Department and USCIS still processing pending SIV applications?

What steps are being taken to ensure that pending applicants are safe from Taliban reprisals as their applications are adjudicated?

According to your administration, more than 50% of evacuated Afghans were not SIV applicants or their families, including vulnerable Afghans such as women and girls at high risk for Taliban reprisals. Of the more than 57,000 Afghans who are not American citizens, green-card holders, or SIV applicants or their families, how many had no pending immigration application or status with the United States prior to being airlifted?·

By what criteria did your administration select these individuals for the airlift while leaving American citizens, green-card holders, and SIV applicants and their families behind?·

How many evacuees, in total, are Afghans who are not American citizens, green- card holders, or SIV applicants or their families? Please also provide a breakdown of how many of these individuals are adult men, adult women, girls, or boys.·

What steps did your administration take to verify the identities of these individuals before evacuation?·

What steps are your administration taking to ensure that individuals are thoroughly vetted and their identities verified before entering the United States?·

Who is responsible for vetting these evacuated individuals before they reach the United States?·

Is the administration checking for potential criminal records and national-security concerns before admitting individuals to the United States?·

There are reports that a convicted rapist—who had previously served a prison sentence in the United States before being deported—was flown to the national capital region as part of this airlift operation. Was that individual vetted before being flown to the United States? If so, was his criminal record found and ignored, or was it not found in the first place?·

How many other individuals have been allowed to enter the United States as part of this evacuation before undergoing vetting and background checks?

We request thorough, unclassified answers to these questions that can be made available to the general public. Americans need to see that the United States will not abandon to terrorists abroad forever. If your answers implicate classified material, you may also submit a classified appendix to your answers and coordinate with us to provide a classified briefing

Cepicky Reaches Career MIlestone, But Eagles Suffer Two Losses

0

PENSACOLA, Fla.—University of Southern Indiana Volleyball senior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) recorded her 3,000th career assist Friday, but the Screaming Eagles suffered a pair of losses to open the 2021 season at the UWF Springhill Suites Invitational.

USI (0-2) saw a two-set lead slip away in a 25-22, 25-15, 25-27, 22-25, 12-15 loss to No. 23 Wheeling University Friday morning. The host University of West Florida defeated the Eagles 25-16, 25-14, 25-16 in the nightcap.

Sophomore right-side hitter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) had 17 kills and 14 digs to pace USI against Wheeling, while sophomore outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) contributed 13 kills, 16 digs, and four aces in the first match.

Cepicky recorded her 3,000th career assist in USI’s second-set win over Wheeling. She finished with a career-high 61 assists to go along with five kills, eight digs, and five blocks.

USI struggled to get anything going against West Florida as the host Argonauts hit .411 while holding the Eagles’ attack to a .173 clip.

Anderson had seven kills to lead USI’s attack, while Cepicky and senior libero Callie Gubera (Thorntown, Indiana) respectively contributed 25 assists and nine digs.

The Eagles return to action Saturday at 11 a.m. when they take on Palm Beach Atlantic University. They finish their four-match opening weekend Saturday at 3 p.m. when they take on Spring Hill College.

HOOSIER HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS: Two Children Discover Marengo Cave

0

September 5 – September 11

The Week in Indiana History


cave

1883     Two children, Blanche and Orris Hiestand, discovered Marengo Cave in Crawford County.  Legend has it that the two youngsters were playing in the woods when they noticed an opening at the bottom of a sink hole.  After a short investigation, they reported what they had seen to the owner of the property.  Cavern tours began later that year.  The site is now a National Natural Landmark.


bears

1901     The Bears of Blue River was published by Charles Major of Shelbyville.  The story is about a boy named Balser who lives with his family in a log cabin on the banks of the Big Blue River.  He has many adventures as he encounters the dangers of frontier life.  The book has become a classic in children’s literature.


Ford

1940     Auto pioneer Henry Ford came by special train to Rushville to meet with Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie.  The two conferred at the Willkie home on Harrison Street.  A few days later, Ford announced his support for the Hoosier lawyer, saying, “I am completely satisfied that he means to do exactly what he says and is competent to do it without evasion or excuse.”


atm

50 YEARS AGO

1971     American Fletcher National Bank announced the installation of “cash machines” at five locations in Indianapolis.  The forerunner of the modern “ATM,” the device permitted customers to obtain either $25 or $50 in currency anytime, day or night.  The company reported that patrons were very happy with the new method of banking.


TF2001     Terrorists attacked the Twin Towers in New York City.  Within 24 hours, Task Force One from Indianapolis was assisting at Ground Zero.  The team, made up of firefighters, dog handlers, and paramedics, worked 12-hour shifts around the clock for ten days.

O'Bannon2003     Indiana Governor Frank O’Bannon suffered a stroke while attending a conference at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago.  He died five days later.  Following a funeral at the Statehouse, he was buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery in his hometown of Corydon.  He was the first governor to die in office since Alvin Hovey succumbed to illness in 1891.
