Eagles’ 16-match home win streak ends with four-set loss to Drury

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Despite getting 19 kills from freshman outside hitter Abby Bednar (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) and 24 digs from senior libero Callie Gubera(Thorntown, Indiana), University of Southern Indiana Volleyball could not capitalize on the momentum it gained in its come-from-behind win in the opening set as it fell to visiting Drury University, 23-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-22 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play Saturday afternoon at Screaming Eagles Arena.

USI (14-10, 8-5 GLVC) rallied from an eight-point deficit in the opener to earn a two-point win and one-set advantage, but Drury used a late 4-1 spurt in the second set en route to a two-point win of its own to even the match at a set apiece.

Drury (17-9, 7-6 GLVC) blasted USI to the tune of a .400 attacking percentage in the third frame. USI, which fell behind 5-0 out of the gate, hit just .083 en route to the nine-point loss.

The Screaming Eagles, who saw a 16-match home winning streak come to an end with the loss, bounced back from a four-point deficit to tie the fourth frame at 14-14. The Panthers, however, used a 4-0 push later in the set to go up 23-18; then weathered a late USI surge to hold on for the match-clinching three-point victory.

In addition to Bednar and Gubera, the Eagles got nine kills, a .471 attacking percentage and four blocks from junior middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri), while senior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) and freshman setter Carly Sobieralski (Indianapolis, Indiana) respectively had 26 and 17 assists.

USI struggled with errors throughout the match. The Eagles hit into 10 Drury blocks and had 29 attacking errors on the day, while also committing 12 service errors.

The Eagles return to action Tuesday at 7 p.m. when they host the University of Indianapolis at Screaming Eagles Arena. The Greyhounds (12-13, 8-5 GLVC) earned a three-set win over visiting Missouri University of Science & Technology Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis.

UE back home on Monday evening

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In a contest that featured highs and lows for both teams, the University of Evansville volleyball team fell to Loyola by a 3-2 final on Saturday night inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Evansville (16-6, 6-5 MVC) was led by Melanie Feliciano, who led the team in kills (19) and digs (11).  Alondra Vazquez and Giulia Cardona recorded 17 and 16 kills, respectively.  Another strong defensive match by Madisyn Steele saw her pick up four block assists.  Taya Haffner set her career mark with 56 assists, passing her previous high of 50.

Loyola (18-6, 11-1 MVC) saw Taylor Venuto lead all players with 21 kills while Grace Hinchman tied Feliciano for the top dig tally with 11.

Set 1 – Loyola 25, UE 23

In the early part of the opening frame, it was the Ramblers who had the advantage, taking a 13-8 lead.  Five UE players recorded kills over the opening portion and spreading the ball around paid off when the Aces pulled in front at 19-17.  Evansville’s three main weapons on offense (Alondra Vazquez, Melanie Feliciano and Giulia Cardona) each posted a kill in the stretch, forcing a Loyola time out.  Following the quick break, the Ramblers regrouped to retake the lead and earn a 25-23 decision.

 

Set 2 – UE 25, Loyola 21

Six ties in the opening portion of the second game led to an 11-11 score.  A Feliciano kill, followed by a Cardona service ace, gave the edge to the Aces.  Cecilia Thon picked up her first ace of the night to help her team extend the lead to 19-14.  The Ramblers fought back with consecutive Venuto aces to make it a 22-19 UE advantage before cutting it to a pair at 23-21.  The Aces were able to regroup and force a pair of LUC errors to knot the match with a 25-21 win.

 

Set 3 – UE 27, Loyola 25

Evansville turned a 3-3 tie into a 6-3 lead thanks in part to stellar serving by Laura Ruiz, who posted an ace.  Kills by Kate Tsironis and Vazquez were part of another stretch that saw UE double up the Ramblers at 14-7.  Things appeared to be going the Aces way as their advantage stood strong at 20-14, but Loyola had other ideas.  A 10-4 run erased the Evansville lead and tied the set at 24-24.  With the score tied at 25-25, kills by Cardona and Feliciano clinched the 2-1 UE lead.

 

Set 4 – Loyola 25, UE 18

The Ramblers put together their top performance in the fourth set, grabbing an 11-8 lead.  A pair of Vazquez kills helped to tie it up at 12-12, but a 5-0 Rambler stretch gave them a 17-12 lead.  Evansville was unable to rally with the Ramblers forcing a decisive fifth set with a 25-18 victory.

 

Set 5 – Loyola 15, UE 12

Following three early ties, Loyola picked up three in a row to open up a 6-3 advantage.  UE did its best to come back, utilizing an error by LUC to cut the deficit to 9-8.  Two more Rambler points gave them the cushion that they need to take a 15-12 win and clinch the match.

 

Monday evening will feature the third home match in four days for UE, who welcomes Southern Illinois to Meeks Family Fieldhouse for a 6 p.m. contest.

Aces take 74-45 win in exhibition opener

Page and Givance lead UE in victory

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Emmette Page and Shamar Givance recorded 14 points apiece to lead the University of Evansville men’s basketball team to a 74-45 victory over Mount St. Joseph in the exhibition opener on Saturday at the Ford Center.

Page had an efficient 5-of-6 day from the field while Givance added five rebounds and five helpers, both the highest totals on the team.  In his debut for the Purple Aces, Antoine Smith Jr. scored 13 points while hitting three triples.

“It was good to finally get out and play someone different than ourselves, and it is nice to now have the game film and we can go back and see what we did well today and what we need to improve upon,” UE head coach Todd Lickliter said after the game.  “We will go back, look at film and get better before Thursday.”

 

Mount St. Joseph saw the duo of David Luers and Kris McClure score eight points apiece with Devin Young accounting for seven.

 

Noah Frederking tallied the first points of the contest, hitting a triple at the 17:27 mark to give UE a 3-0 lead.  His shot ended a 0-for-4 start from the field.  Mount St. Joseph countered with their first points on the ensuing possession before the Aces scored five in a row to open a 7-2 lead.  Iyen Enaruna scored four in a row in the run.

 

The Lions did not let the early deficit phase them as they battled back to take an 11-10 lead on a basket by Evan Wieh just over seven minutes in.  Trailing for the first time, Evansville took control, going on a 15-3 run to take a 25-14 advantage.  With the score knotted at 13-13, a free throw by Page gave Evansville the lead for good.  Over a stretch of nearly seven minutes, the Aces held the Lions to just two free throws while forcing them to miss six shots in a row while forcing a pair of turnovers.

 

Antoine Smith Jr. connected on a 3-pointer to get things rolling before Blaise Beauchamp finished the run with a jumper to push the lead into double figures for the first time with 5:23 remaining in the first half.  A tenacious Lions squad continued to fight, getting within eight (30-22) inside of the 3-minute mark.  Another UE run shifted the momentum as the Aces scored 10 in a row over the final minutes to take a 40-22 advantage into the break.  Five points came from Shamar Givance before Smith wrapped up the half with his second 3-pointer of the day.

 

Over the first seven minutes of the final period, the advantage for Evansville hovered between 14 and 19 points with Mount St. Joseph doing its best to stay in the contest.  With 12:55 on the clock, an and-one by Page pushed the lead to 22 (52-30) and Evansville would cruise from there.  Gage Bobe recorded a triple that made it a 30-point game with 8:15 remaining before the game would Aces won by a final of 74-45.

 

A total of 3,159 fans were in attendance at Saturday’s contest following last season where attendance was limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Shamar Givance explained how the support made a difference with more a of a normal atmosphere.

 

“It was nice to have the fans back today.  Last year was really different, but today felt more like normal.  It was great to have the fans back,” Givance exclaimed.

 

Another exhibition game is on tap Thursday when the Aces welcome Kentucky Wesleyan to the Ford Center for a 6 p.m. contest.

 

Consider Teachers Act Passes House of Representatives

Consider Teachers Act Passes House of Representatives, Heads To President’s Desk

WASHINGTON – The Consider Teachers Act, a bipartisan bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Mike Braun, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Senator Tina Smith, Senator Raphael Warnock, and Senator John Cornyn, and in the House by Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and Congresswoman Victoria Spartz aimed at fixing a broken system burdening teachers with unfair loans, passed the U.S. House of Representatives today. This legislation was passed in the Senate in April and now heads to the President’s desk to be signed into law.

The TEACH Grant program provides grant assistance to students who serve four years as a full time teacher in high-need, often underserved communities. However, often due to basic clerical mistakes, thousands of teachers have found their grants converted into loans that must be paid back with interest. The Consider Teachers Act aims to fix this broken system permanently, and provides extra time for teachers to complete service requirements due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“The TEACH grant is an important program to incentivize teachers to serve in neglected communities, but 12 years of poor government management has turned these grants into groans for thousands of teachers,” said Senator Mike Braun. “The passage of the Consider Teachers Act in the House and Senate shows our appreciation for America’s great teachers, and now I look forward to this bipartisan bill being signed into law.”

“Arizona teachers receiving TEACH grants serve in low-income schools, helping Arizona students access quality educations across our state,” said Senator Kyrsten Sinema. “The government made a promise to these teachers—and our commonsense, bipartisan bill ensures the government honors its obligation and protects our teachers from surprise bills.”

“The TEACH Grant program has done so much for Texas students in high-need areas, but it’s crucial that we make sure this program is implemented responsibly and efficiently,” said Senator John Cornyn. “The Consider Teachers Act would streamline this grant process, ensuring that teachers will not be saddled with debt as a result of the bureaucratic inefficiencies in this program. I’m proud to join my colleagues in the Senate and House in shepherding this important bill through Congress.”

“TEACH grants not only help support the next generation of teachers, but help ensure Georgia students receive a quality education, no matter their parents’ income or zip code,” said Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock. “I’m proud to support this bipartisan legislation to give our teachers the security they deserve.”

“As a mother and educator, I understand the importance of strong teachers for high quality learning,” said Congresswoman Victoria Spartz. “I was happy to join my Senate and House colleagues in leading the Consider Teachers Act, which clarifies and streamlines some processes for the TEACH Grant program.”

“I am pleased the House today passed the Consider Teachers Act of 2021, which will reform the TEACH Grant program, which is unfairly converting many teachers’ grants to loans,” said Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton. “Currently, many teachers are finding their grants converted to loans because of small administrative errors. This bill will correct the administrative process and extend the period teachers have to fulfill their service requirements by three years for those who were affected by the coronavirus crisis. It will now head to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law. As the daughter of a teacher in the D.C. public schools, Vela Holmes, this bill pleases me personally.”

“The TEACH Act is a perfect example of well-intended policy that, when put in to practice, produced a bureaucratic headache for those it intended to help, said Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx. “A lesson Congress should always remember – policies that look good on paper must convert to real world success. The bipartisan Consider Teachers Act will help more teachers obtain their promised student loan forgiveness, as long as they fulfill their four-year service obligation, without fear that bureaucratic folly could leave them indebted for life.”

“Finally, we have some good news for teachers participating in the TEACH Grant program who wrongly had their grants converted into loans—with back interest due,” said Senator Tina Smith. “This bipartisan legislation will reform the program’s administration processes so minor paperwork issues don’t cause crushing financial consequences. This never should have happened in the first place, and it took too long to fix, but I’m glad we’re making changes to improve the program and support these teachers.”

“It is critical that the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grant program would actually work as intended as we recover from the global health emergency that cost education jobs, exacerbated achievement gaps, and worsened the teacher shortage in many states and districts,” said Chairman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott. “However, administrative issues with the program have inadvertently converted thousands of these grants into loans which must be paid back with interest. The Consider Teachers Act is a bipartisan legislative fix that would ensure TEACH grants can continue to strengthen and expand our nation’s teacher workforce.”

BACKGROUND: 

In 2007, the federal government created the TEACH Grant, providing grant assistance to students who serve four years as a full time teacher in a high-need field. Under program terms, if service requirements are not met, grants are converted into loan obligations. While the program was well- intentioned, poor program administration has resulted in teachers unfairly having grant dollars converted into loans—prompting many to refer to the converted grants as “groans.” The Consider Teachers Act addresses these challenges that are thwarting the program’s intent.

According to the Office of Management and Budget, the majority of TEACH Grants, 66%, are converted into Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans which must be paid back with interest. Previously, once converted, a loan cannot revert back to grant. 21,000 teachers have completed the program without a conversion, but 94,000 recipients have had their grants converted to loans. Small paperwork issues often triggered the conversions. For example, if teachers sent in their annual form one day late, or had other problems, such as a missing date or signature, the grant was converted.

Halloween Safety Tips 

As Halloween quickly approaches, the Indiana State Police would offer a few safety tips for parents and children to consider before heading out to trick-or-treat:

  • Know and abide by the appropriate dates and times your local community has established for trick-or-treating.
  • Make sure that your child has a flashlight, glow stick, or reflective material on their costume, so he/she can be seen clearly during the low light hours.
  • Children should always be accompanied by an adult when trick-or-treating, or at a minimum- use the buddy system, and have a plan if groups get separated (charged cellphone / ask an adult for help).
  • Only go trick-or-treating at houses where the front porch light is on.
  • Children should NEVER enter the house of a stranger.
  • All treats should be inspected by an adult before being consumed.
  • And for all motorists- we ask that you slow down and drive with caution in our area neighborhoods.  Pay close attention to children that are not paying attention!!

FRI, 10/29/2021 – CURRENT

FSIS Issues Public Health Alert for Salame Stick Products Due to Possible Salmonella Contamination

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2021 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert because Euro Foods, a Freeland, Penn. establishment, produced ready-to-eat (RTE) Italian-style salame stick products that may be contaminated with Salmonella. A recall was not requested because FSIS has not identified a specific contaminated lot or lots, and it is believed that potentially affected products are no longer available to be directly purchased by retail consumers.The Italian-style salame stick items were produced prior to October 25, 2021. The following product is subject to the public health alert [view labels]:

  • 2-oz packages containing Citterio “Premium Italian-Style Salame Sticks ALL NATURAL” with “best by” dates up to January 23, 2022, located next to the barcode.

The products are subject to the public health alert bear establishment number “EST. 4010” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide and exported to Bermuda.

FSIS has been working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners to investigate a multistate outbreak of 21 Salmonella I 4,[5],12:i:- illnesses in eight states with onset dates ranging from September 18, 2021, through October 3, 2021. The epidemiologic and traceback investigation identified that ill people consumed Citterio Italian-style Salame Sticks produced by Euro Foods Inc. FSIS continues to work with federal and state public health partners to determine if there are additional illnesses linked to these products.

Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 6 hours to 6 days after eating the contaminated product. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. In some persons, however, diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a severe illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or live chat via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Consumers can also browse food safety messages at Ask USDA or send a question via email to MPHotline@usda.gov. For consumers that need to report a problem with a meat, poultry, or egg product, the online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at https://foodcomplaint.fsis.usda.gov/eCCF/.

 

MR. THOMAS, MEET PHIL

MR. THOMAS, MEET PHIL REDWINE

by Jim Redwine

Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) was a Welsh poet who was imploring his dying father to fight against death. Dylan pleaded with his dad:

“Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

The bravest fighter against Death I have ever known was my 79-year-old brother, Philip W. Redwine. Death was playing against Phil with a stacked deck but Phil kept drawing to inside straights for 34 years after Death thought it had dealt Phil a losing hand. The ultimate outcome was never in doubt but the timing sure was.

In 1987 Phil had a wife to help support and three young children to rear when, as country singer Tim McGraw sang:

“He was in his early forties (Phil was 44) with a lot of life before him when a moment came that stopped him on a dime.”

The oncologists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington told Phil he could die within 4 months but certainly would not live beyond 2 more years. Phil and our sister, Jane Redwine Bartlett, had gone to Seattle so Phil could apply to be a part of an experimental treatment program as Phil’s physicians in Norman, Oklahoma where Phil practiced law told Phil he only had 6 months to live. The Fred Hutchinson medical team apologized to Phil when they told him the cut off age for the experimental treatment study was 40. As Jane reported to our oldest brother C. E. Redwine and his wife Shirley and me, Phil simply responded that the Fred Hutchinson team, “Was not talking to the Phil Redwine who was dying, but to the Phil Redwine who was living and they were going to want him as a model for their study.” He asked them for the treatment even if he was not included in the study. After an overnight meeting Fred Hutchinson agreed to let him try.

So, for 34 years Phil practiced law, supported his family and was deeply involved in giving of his very limited time and limitless talents to his community. He endured chemotherapy, radiation, kidney failure, heart disease and cancer induced diabetes as he gave love and free legal advice to countless family members and friends. Phil could have been the model for the author of the Book of Proverbs. Just a few of the truisms that Phil’s life exemplified are:

Proverbs 13:22 “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s
children.”

Proverbs 19:11 “Good sense makes a man slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.”

Phil would always listen respectfully to another’s point of view and would hear them out completely before agreeing or, gently, disagreeing.

Proverbs 18:2 “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”

Proverbs 18:13 “If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.”

Proverbs 18:15 “An intelligent mind acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”

When you sought advice from Phil you knew he would carefully consider everything that you said then he would respond wisely and never make you feel lesser. Perhaps his constant companion, Death At Any Moment, guided his thoughts and helped him see others as Ernie Pyle said about soldiers in World War II:

“When you’ve lived with the unnatural mass cruelty that mankind is capable of inflicting on itself, you find yourself dispossessed of the faculty for blaming one poor man for the triviality of his faults.”

And perhaps his own constant vulnerability filled him with a passion to champion those who could not champion themselves. Phil fought the good fight for good causes in and out of court and often at immense cost to himself. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy is long and strong. Well done, Brother, you are my hero.
