Attorney General Warns Hoosiers To Be Aware Of Scammers During Financial Literacy Month

0

Attorney General Todd Rokita protects Hoosier consumers in a number of different ways. During April, which is Financial Literacy Month, Attorney General Rokita is educating the public on how to protect what they already possess. That means watching out for scammers.

“Protecting consumers is a priority of our daily work,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Whether through identity theft or data breaches, scammers are good at what they do, and they target Hoosiers from all walks of life with their sophisticated schemes for stealing your personal information. Knowing the red flags will help you better protect your family and resources.”

Attorney General Rokita offers the following tips:

  • Review your credit report
  • Shred personal papers
  • Request a free credit freeze
  • Don’t give your personal or financial information in response to a call, e-mail or text that you didn’t expect.
  • Resist pressure to act immediately.
  • Stop and talk with someone you trust, like a friend, a family member, or a neighbor.

If you are the victim of a scam or spot one, we want to know about it. Report it at in.gov/attorneygeneral.

Planting Season Is Here; Remain Alert To Large Farm Equipment On Indiana Roads

Planting Season Is Here; Remain Alert To Large Farm Equipment On Indiana Roads

INDIANA (April 21, 2022) — Planting season is quickly approaching for Indiana’s 94,000 farmers. With the warm weather and sunshine, Hoosier motorists will also see more large slow-moving farm equipment traveling Indiana’s rural roads and highways. The Indiana State Department of Agriculture, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana State Police and Hoosier Ag Today want to encourage motorists to slow down, be alert and be patient on rural roadways this spring.

“Our farmers have an enormous job to do, feeding us and the rest of the world,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Secretary of Agriculture. “And with that job comes a tremendous responsibility; let’s help our farmers out where we can. When you see large farm equipment traveling our Hoosier roadways slow down and give them space so everyone can get where they are going safely.”

In Indiana, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2020 three vehicles were involved in crashes with farm equipment, which resulted in two deaths.

“During the spring and fall seasons Indiana sees a drastic increase of large farm equipment on our rural roads and highways,” said Doug Carter, Indiana State Police Superintendent. “In our strong agricultural state, it is critical that Hoosier motorists know the steps to take when approaching farm equipment on the roadways to ensure we all make it home safely to our families.”

While the term “farm equipment” encompasses a wide range of vehicles, the most common types motorists will encounter during planting season include sprayers, tractors pulling planters or tillage equipment, and large trucks hauling agricultural products. These vehicles are wide, sometimes taking up most of the road, and often travel at speeds no greater than 25 mph.

The following list includes several safety tips for motorists approaching large farm equipment:

  • Farmers will pull over when they are able to let motorists pass, but it may take time for them to get to a safe place to do so.
  • Be patient. Farm equipment is wide, sometimes taking up most of the road.
  • Be careful when passing. Do not pass in a designated “No Passing Zone” or within 100 feet of any intersection, railroad grade crossing, bridge, elevation structure or tunnel.
  • Do not try to pass slow-moving farm equipment on the left without ensuring that the farmer driving is not planning a left turn. It may appear that the driver is pulling over to allow a pass when the farmer is actually preparing to turn. You will drive right into its path, endangering yourself and the farmer.
  • Avoid tailgating, as some farm equipment might have to make sudden stops along the road.
  • Allow plenty of time to get to a destination, be aware of alternate routes and avoid distractions.

“Moving farm equipment on the roadways is one of the most dangerous parts of my job. It takes time to find a safe space for me to pull over and allow other motorists to pass safely. Please be considerate when you drive behind farm equipment, drivers and I have the same goal in mind each time we take a trip on Hoosier roads- to get our work done and make it home safely to our loved ones,” said Brent Bible, Tippecanoe Co. farmer.

Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler wants to remind motorists farmers work hard to ensure they are being as safe as possible.

“Hoosier farmers are trying to get to their fields safely and quickly, just like our Hoosier motorists are trying to get to work safely and quickly,” said Kettler. “I want to encourage motorists to be aware during this spring season and know that encountering farm equipment is likely and to slow down when approaching.”

Mallory Russell named to MVC All-Tournament Team

0

Sophomore tied for 4th at conference championship

 

KIRKWOOD, Mo. – Following her tie for 4th place at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship, University of Evansville sophomore Mallory Russell was named to the All-Tournament Team.

The team consists of the top five finishers in the tournament, including tie scores.  Russell had an exceptional championship at Greenbriar Hills Country Club.  In three rounds, she finished with a score of 228.  Her final tally was just three strokes off of the medalist.

Russell was at or near the top of the standings for the duration of the tournament.  The Evansville native opened the tournament on Sunday with a 2-over 73 before carding a 79 in Monday’s second round.  Her 76 on Tuesday clinched the top five finish.

Her efforts, combined with strong performances from the entire team, helped the Purple Aces jump to fifth in the final standings.  It was the second-best team finish in program history behind only the 2021 championship squad.

USI’s Nolan, Hough earn GLVC weekly honor

0
EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana senior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) and sophomore Cameron Hough (Olney, Illinois) have respectively been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Male and Female Track Athletes of the Week in an announcement by the league office Wednesday afternoon following their performances at the Mt. SAC Relays last week.
 
Nolan recorded an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying time and personal-best mark of 29 minutes, 26.46 seconds. His performance puts him sixth all-time on USI’s all-time 10,000-meter list and, ironically, knocks his father, USI and GLVC Hall of Famer Jim Nolan, off the same list.
 
Wednesday’s honor marks the first time Nolan has earned GLVC Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week honors, while Hough also is earning GLVC Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week honors for the first time. Junior Titus Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee) and sophomore Lauren Greiwe (West Harrison, Illinois) also earned GLVC Track Athlete of the Week honors two weeks ago.
 
Hough also notched an NCAA II provisional qualifying time and personal-best mark in the women’s 10,000 meters last week when she crossed the finish line in 34:20.41. Her performance ranks her third on USI’s all-time 10,000-meter list. She also ranks first in the GLVC and eighth in the nation in the 10,000 meters.
 
The Screaming Eagles return to action Friday and Saturday when they compete at the Gibson Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Vanderburgh County legislators: State funding gives green light to local road improvements

0

STATEHOUSE (April 21, 2022) – Vanderburgh County will receive $441,087 in state matching grants for road and bridge improvement projects, according to local lawmakers.

In total, more than 220 towns, cities and counties will receive over $107 million in state funding through the Community Crossings Matching Grant Program. Funds, awarded twice a year, are for road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements, guardrail replacements and signage, and can cover material costs for chip sealing and crack filling operations.

“Keeping Hoosiers safe is a top priority, and well-maintained roads are a major part of that effort,” said State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville). “This funding will help kick-start much-needed road improvements.”

As part of the grant program, established in 2016 and expanded through laws supported by McNamara, smaller municipalities provide a 25 percent match in local funds, while large communities provide a 50 percent match. State law requires 50 percent of the available matching funds be awarded annually to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer.

“This investment has proven to have a big impact on Hoosier communities both urban and rural,” said State Rep. Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka). “This partnership between local governments and the department of transportation helps boost economic development, create jobs and strengthen key transportation networks.”

To date, Hoosier communities are on the receiving end of more than $1 billion in Community Crossings Matching Grants.

“With this grant program, Hoosiers will be able to get where they’re going faster and safer,” O’Brien said. “Cities, counties and towns will have extra funding to invest in infrastructure improvements, bolstering our state’s reputation as the Crossroads of America.”

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, which oversees and awards the grants, the next call for projects is expected in July. More information can be found at in.gov/indot/communitycrossings or by emailingLPAQuestions@indot.in.gov.

 

USI Softball set to honor seniors, ranked third in region

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Softball will honor its 2022 senior class this weekend when it hosts Maryville University and Missouri University of Science & Technology in a pair of Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheaders at the USI Softball Field.

The Screaming Eagles (32-10, 18-2 GLVC), who remained No. 17 in the latest NFCA Division II Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, square off against Maryville Saturday at noon before hosting Missouri S&T for Senior Day Sunday at noon.

USI will honor its six seniors—pitcher/designated player Katie Back (Indianapolis, Indiana), third baseman Mary Bean (Schaumburg, Illinois), pitcher Elissa Brown (Brownsburg, Indiana), outfielder Mikaela Domico (Naperville, Illinois), pitcher Maddie Duncan (Lynnville, Indiana) and catcher Courtney Schoolcraft (Crest Hill, Illinois)—following Sunday’s doubleheader with the Miners.

In addition to their standing in the NFCA Top 25, the Eagles were ranked No. 3 in the first NCAA II Midwest Region rankings.

USI’s games this weekend will be aired on the GLVC Sports Network as well as 95.7 The Spin, while live stats, audio and video can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com. ­

USI Softball Notes
• Eagles ranked No. 3 in region rankings. USI checked in at No. 3 on the first NCAA Division II Midwest Region ranking of the year. Indianapolis (1st) and Grand Valley State (3rd) were listed above the Eagles, while Drury (4th) and Lindenwood (5th) rounded out the top five. Ohio Dominican (6th), Findlay (7th), Missouri-St. Louis (8th), Illinois Springfield (9th) and Saginaw Valley State (10th) rounded out the first of three regional rankings. Six of the teams listed are GLVC schools, while five GLVC teams are listed in the top eight.

• USI holds position in NFCA Top 25. The Eagles stayed put at No. 17 in the latest NFCA Division II Top 25 poll. Indianapolis, which split a doubleheader with the Eagles last Friday, moved up two spots to No. 3, while Grand Valley State held its spot at No. 24.

• Senior Day. USI will honor its six seniors—pitcher/designated player Katie Back (Indianapolis, Indiana), third baseman Mary Bean(Schaumburg, Illinois), pitcher Elissa Brown (Brownsburg, Indiana), outfielder Mikaela Domico (Naperville, Illinois), pitcher Maddie Duncan(Lynnville, Indiana) and catcher Courtney Schoolcraft (Crest Hill, Illinois)—following Sunday’s doubleheader with Missouri S&T. This group has helped USI to a 98-56 overall record and a 50-24 mark in GLVC play during the last four years.

• USI goes 2-2 last week. The Eagles went 2-2 last week, splitting a GLVC road doubleheader with Indianapolis before coming home to salvage another GLVC doubleheader split with visiting McKendree Saturday.

USI hit just .182 as a team on the week, but got clutch efforts from several players, including a walk-off home run by sophomore first baseman Lexi Fair (Greenwood, Indiana) in the bottom of the eighth inning of USI’s 2-1 win over McKendree and a two-run home run from Bean in the top of the seventh inning of USI’s 4-3 win over Indianapolis. Freshman pitcher Hailey Gotshall (Lucerne, Indiana) came off the bench to keep the Eagles afloat en route to getting the win against UIndy, while freshman pitcher Josie Newman (Indianapolis, Indiana) had the save against UIndy before striking out 15 batters in USI’s win over McKendree.

• Season leaders. Back leads USI with a .391 batting average, while Fair is hitting .389 with three triples and a team-leading 13 doubles, seven home runs and 38 RBI. The Eagles have nine players hitting .300 or better on the season and have six players with 20-or-more RBI on the year.
