USI Volleyball begins post-season play Friday night

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Volleyball opens the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament Friday at 8:30 p.m. when it takes on the No. 3-seeded Rockhurst University Hawks at the EastSide Centre in East Peoria, Illinois.

The Screaming Eagles are the No. 6 seed after finishing the 2021 regular season with a 17-12 overall record and an 11-7 mark in GLVC play.

Friday’s contest is a rematch of USI’s five-set loss to Rockhurst last month in Kansas City, Missouri. USI won the first and fourth sets, 25-23 and 26-24, respectively, but Rockhurst earned a two-point win in the second frame before grabbing three-point wins in both the third and fifth sets to pull out the win.

Junior middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri, had 17 kills and five blocks to lead the Eagles, who enter this weekend’s tournament as the defending champion after capturing the 2020-21 GLVC Tournament title last spring in East Peoria. Senior outside hitter Averi Vomastic had 13 kills and 19 digs to pace Rockhurst, which finished the regular-season 20-10 overall and 13-5 in GLVC play.

If USI gets by Rockhurst in the opening round, the Eagles will face the winner of the quarterfinal match between No. 2-seeded University of Missouri-St. Louis and No. 7-seeded University of Illinois Springfield Saturday at 5:30 p.m. The GLVC Championship match is Sunday at noon.

The Eagles, who are 6-5 against the GLVC Tournament field this year, went a combined 4-0 against Missouri-St. Louis and Illinois Springfield during the regular-season. Of USI’s five losses to teams in the GLVC Tournament field, three of the losses came in five sets while the other two losses were in four sets.

If the Eagles get to the NCAA II Tournament, they’ll likely have to do it via the league title and automatic qualifier as they slipped out of the latest NCAA II Midwest Region rankings. USI is looking to capture its fourth conference title since 2002 and back-to-back titles for the first time in program history.

Other first-round match-ups include top-seeded Lewis University taking on No. 8-seeded University of Indianapolis and No. 4-seeded Missouri University of Science & Technology playing No. 5-seeded Quincy University. The GLVC East Division saw four teams make it to the GLVC Tournament, while two teams from both the GLVC West and Central Divisions also qualified.

Brendan Burns dominated the weekend to earn the Big Ten Men’s Swimmer of the Week award, contributing four wins and six total top three finishes to the men’s score.

Burns won the 200 Backstroke and 200 Butterfly and was part of IU’s victorious 400 and 200 Medley Relay squads.

50 GOP Senators File Challenge To Biden’s Vaccine Mandate For Businesses

0

WASHINGTON – The formal challenge against President Biden’s vaccine mandate under the Congressional Review Act will be filed by Republican Senators led by Senator Mike Braun (Ranking Member of the HELP Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety), Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and their 47 Senate Republican colleagues: Sen. Dan Sullivan, Sen. Bill Hagerty, Sen. Roger Marshall, Sen. Mike Lee, Sen. James Lankford, Sen. Rick Scott, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. John Barrasso, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, Sen. John Thune, Sen. Jerry Moran, Sen. Roger Wicker, Sen. Richard Burr, Sen. Mike Rounds, Sen. John Hoeven, Sen. Pat Toomey, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Sen. James Risch, Sen. Mike Crapo, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Tom Cotton, Sen. Joni Ernst, Sen. Kevin Cramer, Sen. Josh Hawley, Sen. John Boozman, Sen. Jim Inhofe, Sen. Chuck Grassley, Sen. Todd Young, Sen. John Kennedy, Sen. Ron Johnson, Sen. Ben Sasse. Sen. Steve Daines, Sen. Deb Fischer, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Thom Tillis, Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. Tim Scott, Sen. Bill Cassidy, Sen. Roy Blunt, Sen. Richard Shelby, Sen. Rob Portman, Sen. Susan Collins, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, and Sen. Mitt Romney.  Congressman Fred Keller (PA-12) (Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Workforce Protections) and other members in the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the same bill.

The Congressional Review Act is the official process for Congress to eliminate an executive branch rule. The resolution has been received by the Senate and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP).

This move to overturn President Biden’s vaccine or test mandate for private employers is guaranteed a vote on the Senate floor. The rule was transmitted to the Senate on November 16th, setting up a Floor vote as soon as early December.

“Today, Senate Republicans will formally challenge the overreach of federal power that is President Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for private businesses, and I urge the Senate to vote in favor of this disapproval resolution when it comes to the Floor for a filibuster-proof, simple-majority vote as soon as early December. Republicans are united against President Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for businesses, but this federal overreach is not a partisan issue, and the consequences of this mandate are affecting Americans in all 50 states.” - Senator Mike Braun.

Applications Now Open For Next Generation Hoosier Educator Scholarship

0

Future Indiana Teachers Are Encouraged To Apply By Jan. 31

 STATEHOUSE (Nov.16, 2021) – Vanderburgh County lawmakers encourage local students planning to pursue a career in education to apply for the state’s teaching scholarship.

State Rep. Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville) said applications are now being accepted for the 2022-2023 Next Generation Hoosier Educator Scholarship, which pays $7,500 per year for up to four years to students earning a teaching degree and who commit to teaching in Indiana for at least five years. The deadline to apply is Jan. 31.

“Investing in our teachers is integral to achieving the best education for our students,” O’Brien said. “Hoosiers with a passion for teaching should consider applying for this scholarship.”

The scholarship is available to 200 high-achieving high school and college students each year who either graduate in the top 20 percent of their class or earn a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT. To continue earning the scholarship in college, students must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid each year, earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours per year. Current college students who apply must be able to use the scholarship for at least two full academic years.

“Indiana must continue to recruit high-achieving students to pursue a career in teaching,” said State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville). “Scholarship recipients must commit to teaching in a Hoosier classroom for at least five years, which helps Indiana retain top-notch educators.”

In 2020, 439 students applied for the scholarship, with applications from 231 high schools in 84 counties. Nearly three-quarters of applicants were Indiana high school seniors with the remainder comprised of current college students.

“Hundreds of Hoosier students have benefited from this scholarship since its launch in 2017,” said State. Rep. Matt Hostettler (R-Patoka). “Past recipients are already making a positive impact on our state’s education system.”

Last year, Vanderburgh County’s recipients were Taylor Gerth, of Mater Dei High School, Grace Martin, of Reitz Memorial High School and Abigail Woebkenberg, of Central High School.

Vincennes University’s Blazer 91.1 WVUB Wins Broadcast Award For COVID-19 Coverage

Vincennes University’s Blazer 91.1 WVUB Wins Broadcast Award For COVID-19 Coverage
VINCENNES, Ind., November 16, 2021 – Vincennes University’s Blazer 91.1 WVUB has received a Spectrum Award for “Best COVID-19 Initiatives” presented by the Indiana Broadcasters Association.
The radio station won in Radio Market Two for the coverage and community service provided by the staff throughout the pandemic.
“I am so proud of our team and our response during the pandemic,” WVUB-FM Promotions Director and On-Air Host Rebecca Clark-Duckworth said. “We were able to find ways to help meet the needs of our community and keep our listeners connected during a time of complete disconnect from everything normal that we knew.”
Blazer 91.1 WVUB provided many opportunities for listeners to interact safely and connect with the community.
It spotlighted heroes in the healthcare industry with Healthcare Highlights and aired promos recognizing all area hospitals.
As local businesses started to re-open after the shutdown, the Blazer created a “Back In Business” page free of charge to all large and small area businesses to list their new operating hours and guidelines.
Last December, the station partnered with the City of Vincennes to present “Christmas in the Park” in place of the annual downtown holiday parade. Floats were displayed throughout Gregg Park, allowing the community to drive safely through and enjoy. The Blazer also partnered with Helping His Hands Food Pantry and asked listeners to bring non-perishable items to the event. Staff and volunteers in proper personal protective equipment collected canned goods and monetary donations. The station also broadcasted two hours of wall-to-wall holiday music for listeners to enjoy as they drove the route of the parked parade.
Earlier this year, the Blazer partnered with the Vincennes Parks Department for the annual Family Valentine Dance. Instead of an in-person event, the station produced a two-hour block of dance music and hosted the Parks Department to help deejay the event in the studio. The Parks Department donated aquatic center passes as listeners texted in while the ‘Virtual Family Valentine Dance” was on the air.
“I am especially proud of our radio team winning this award because of the circumstances involved,” WVUB-FM/WFML-FM General Manager Kevin Watson said. “While dealing with the pandemic on a daily basis, both personally and professionally, the team was still able to put together a series of community-facing events that helped our listeners and supporters in a number of tangible and innovative ways. While working in remote, hybrid, and in-person settings across several platforms, the radio staff elevated broadcasting and technology to new levels of service.”
Blazer 91.1 WVUB was also a finalist in two other categories: Station of the Year and Local Community Involvement for its Shopping Cart Showdown event.
The Blazer 91.1 WVUB is part of the VU Broadcasting Program. In addition to a staff of professional broadcasters, students experience real-world learning through the program. VU Broadcasting offers state-of-the-art hands-on opportunities that provide students actual experience. Students host on-air television and radio broadcasts such as nightly newscasts on Vincennes PBS-WVUT and produce content for WVUB and WVUT.
At VU, students learn from award-winning faculty and staff who make an outstanding difference in the classroom, at the University, and in the community.
