Local Teachers Associations Call on Governor to Prioritize Education Personnel for The COVID-19 Vaccine

Evansville, IN — Teachers Association leaders from Gibson, Pike, Posey, and Vanderburgh counties asked Governor Eric Holcomb and Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Kristina Box to release a plan that prioritizes educators and other school staff for the COVID-19 vaccination in a joint letter sent on Monday, February 8. The letter, which is attached, calls for such a plan to be released by February 17.

In December, the CDC issued updated recommendations for the allocation of the COVID-19 vaccine, naming “those who work in the education sector (teachers and support staff members)” among the non-health care essential workers who should be a part of Phase 1B along with persons aged 75 or older. But the state’s vaccination plan has only included older Hoosiers in Phase 1B, leaving teachers wondering when they might be eligible to receive a vaccine. This, along with last week’s announcement by Dr. Box that the state was relaxing guidance related to contact tracing and quarantining for students and staff in school prompted the letter. “Many of our teachers and staff are at their breaking point already, but the vaccine was a light at the end of the tunnel,” said Angela Cooper, President of the South Gibson Teachers Association. “Now, we feel betrayed by the state.”

All of Indiana’s neighboring states have begun vaccinating school personnel or have plans to do so by the end of February, adding to the frustration, and Evansville Teachers Association President Michael Rust said Association members believe the time for action is past. “We appreciate local efforts that have allowed some teachers to be vaccinated or added to a wait list, but the state has to have a more comprehensive plan than that,” he said. “These decisions are happening in offices and board rooms, rather than in crowded hallways during passing periods or a in 900 square foot classroom filled with 25 students. If educators and school staff have been deemed ‘essential,’ we deserve to have our health and safety prioritized.”

About: The Indiana State Teachers Association is a professional association organized to sustain quality public education, improve students’ educational opportunities and advance the professional status of educators. The East Gibson Classroom Teachers Association, North Gibson Education Association, South Gibson Teachers Association, Pike County Teachers Association,  NEA Mount Vernon, NEA North Posey, and Evansville Teachers Association are all local affiliates of the Indiana State Teachers Association, representing teachers in their respective school corporations.

 

University of Evansville Announces New Plans for Department of Music

0

Collaborative Deal Will Create UE Music Conservatory And Fund Renovation Of Wheeler Concert Hall

The University of Evansville (UE) announced today that it will retain the Department of Music and create enhancements to better serve students and the greater Evansville community. The announcement was made in conjunction with UE administration, Department of Music co-chairs, Friends of UE Music, the UE Student Government Association (SGA), and the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra (EPO).

“We are delighted that our faculty and the community came together to preserve our rich tradition of music at UE,” said University President Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz. “They not only have made the department financially viable, but also have reimagined our program in a way that will benefit our campus and local community.”

Pietruszkiewicz said the plan was a collaboration between Department of Music co-chairs, faculty, Friends of UE Music, community partnerships, private donors, trustees, and the administration.

The department’s new initiatives include:

  • Retention of all five music degrees: Music Education, Music Therapy, Music Management, Music Performance, and Music – General
  • Creation of the University of Evansville Music Conservatory, which will benefit UE students, provide private lessons to preschool through 12th grade students and adults, continue to offer Suzuki violin instruction, begin to offer dual enrollment courses in music, and strengthen the University’s enrollment pipeline
  • Implementation of new offerings, including a music therapy clinic and a redesigned summer music camp which will increase revenue, enhance community engagement, and strengthen recruiting opportunities
  • Full renovation of Wheeler Concert Hall and the Krannert Hall of Art and Music lobby
  • Increased fundraising from Friends of UE Music

“We are grateful for the support of Friends of UE Music, collaboration with administration, and encouragement from the Evansville community to create a solution that retains the UE Department of Music,” said department co-chair Ken Steinsultz. “This plan solidifies our commitment to the community as well as the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra.”

Kimberly Bredemeier, executive director of the EPO, said she is thrilled about the department’s new direction.

“The Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra maintains a strong and important relationship with the UE Department of Music and our community,” she said. “This will ensure continued collaboration for many years to come.”

The plan will make the Department of Music financially sustainable by reducing operating costs through planned retirements, establishing new revenue streams, increasing fundraising commitments, and focusing on recruiting and retaining new students.

“Because this department is a cultural hub for music in our region, our plan is the result of input from many stakeholders, alumni, and arts organizations.” said Timothy A. Dickel, president of Friends of UE Music. “With financial support from Friends of UE Music and members of the UE Board of Trustees, we will be able to execute this plan immediately.”

Fundraising is well underway to transform Wheeler Hall and the lobby of Krannert through leadership gifts from G. Richard and Rita Eykamp, Sharon McCarthy (Mrs. Burkley McCarthy), and John C. and Diane Schroeder. The University is incredibly grateful for the generosity of these longtime friends and trustees. UE will soon begin next steps in the renovation.

This significant development is part of the current draft academic realignment process to resolve a financial operating deficit and bolster the University’s strengths. Michael Austin, PhD, executive vice president of academic affairs and provost, noted this proposal was “one of many” that the administration has seen since the process began in December.

“We continue to receive proposals from faculty and engage in earnest dialogue to revise programs and make the University financially sustainable well into the future,” he said.

HOME OWNED HELIPONIX© AWARDED $300,000 GRANT FROM NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

Home  Owned Heliponix© Awarded Competitive Grant From the National Science Foundation

(Small Business Innovation Research Program Provides Seed Funding for R&D)

Evansville, Indiana, February, 2021 

Heliponix has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant for $256,000 in addition to $50,000 in matching funding from Elevate Ventures to conduct research and development work on multispectral photomorphogenesis in rotary aeroponic cultivation chambers. 

Heliponix, LLC was established almost four years ago by two undergraduate engineering students working on a NASA-funded research study at Purdue University to optimize the photosynthetic efficiency of growing lettuce in a controlled-environment hydroponic chamber for astronauts to more efficiently grow crops in space. By manipulating the spectrum of LED light on the lettuce plants, the research team led by Dr. Cary Mitchell was able to see an increase in yields while simultaneously reducing the energy consumption of the system. Research team members Scott Massey and Ivan Ball, co-founders of Heliponix, saw an opportunity to further increase yields and minimize energy consumption through an innovative design called the rotary aeroponic cultivation chamber (RACC), which has multiple patents pending, for higher yields through its mechanical design coupled with a novel control algorithm facilitated through proprietary cloud software. Through decentralized, in-home production of produce, the wasteful inefficiencies and environmental destruction attributed to industrialized agriculture are eliminated, while simultaneously delivering maximum freshness, flavor, and nutritional value directly to consumers. 

As a leader in tunable horticultural research lighting systems, the Lighting Enabled Systems and Applications (LESA) Center of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is working with Heliponix to provide research-grade, multi-spectral, tunable LED modules and associated programmable control systems compatible with Heliponix’s rotary chamber.  These modules are based on the LESA Center’s TIGER horticulture research lighting modules and will provide the research flexibility needed in Phase I to optimize the LED illumination impact on plant growth variables in leafy greens including biomass, crop yield, nutritional content, and energy efficiency.

“NSF is proud to support the technology of the future by thinking beyond incremental developments and funding the most creative, impactful ideas across all markets and areas of science and engineering,” said Andrea Belz, Division Director of the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships at NSF. “With the support of our research funds, any deep technology startup or small business can guide basic science into meaningful solutions that address tremendous needs.” 

“In the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic’s disruptive force on produce cultivation, and recurring food safety recalls, there’s an urgent need to democratize cultivation to establish food sovereignty. We are incredibly thankful for the backing of the National Science Foundation, Purdue University, Elevate Ventures, and the countless Hoosiers who have supported our pursuit to grow to become the world’s  largest farm through our connected, smart garden appliances known as GroPods© without owning a single acre of land.” – Scott Massey, CEO and Co-Founder of Heliponix

Once a small business is awarded a Phase I SBIR/STTR grant (up to $256,000), it becomes eligible to apply for a Phase II grant (up to $1,000,000). Small businesses with Phase II grants are eligible to receive up to $500,000 in additional matching funds with qualifying third-party investment or sales. 

Startups or entrepreneurs who submit a three-page Project Pitch will know within three weeks if they meet the program’s objectives to support innovative technologies that show promise of commercial and/or societal impact and involve a level of technical risk. Small businesses with innovative science and technology solutions, and commercial potential are encouraged to apply. All proposals submitted to the NSF SBIR/STTR program, also known as America’s Seed Fund powered by NSF, undergo a rigorous merit-based review process.

Commentary: Susan Bayh And The Steel Beneath The Smile

February 9, 2021  
Posted by:

By John Krull
TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—When the news broke that Susan Bayh had died, several memories of her floated to the forefront.

John Krull, publisher, TheStatehouseFile.com

Strangely, the most prominent one may have been the most trivial.

It was from 1992. She and her husband, Evan, were campaigning in Evansville as part of a bus tour with the newly anointed Democratic Party ticket.

Bill and Hillary Clinton and Al and Tipper Gore were traveling across Southern Indiana in the company of the Bayhs. It was one of those charged moments in American history, a time when the nation was poised to make a generational shift in power. Bill Clinton was about to become the first baby boomer president.

The presumption was that Al Gore likely would succeed him in the Oval Office. And Evan Bayh, who was just in his middle 30s then, already was being touted as a future presidential prospect.

The future shimmered like gold for the three seemingly charmed couples.

I’d interviewed both Bill Clinton and Al Gore but was lingering to gather more color when Susan Bayh spotted me. She was walking with Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore. She motioned for the two of them to come with her so she could introduce us.

The four of us chatted for a few minutes.

As we talked, I thought about the way things were changing in this country.

And the ways things weren’t changing.

It became clear within the space of just a few minutes that these three women were at least as capable—and, in fact, were probably more capable—than their husbands.

Yet, they were the ones struggling to determine what roles they could play as their spouses strode destiny’s stage—just how many of their gifts these women could reveal without offending a state and nation that both wanted and feared change.

Flash forward nearly three decades to now.

Hillary Clinton is a lightning rod for much of the terrifying animosity loose in this land.

Tipper and Al Gore live apart, their union a casualty of their high-profile and high-stress lives.

And Susan Bayh, sadly, tragically, is dead.

She was only 61.

In these hours just after her passing, I find myself thinking about the heavy toll we impose on those who step forward to lead us. Too often, we strip them of their humanity. We consider them caricatures, rather than people who breathe and bleed just like the rest of us.

Susan helped me realize that.

I did not know her as well as others did, but she and I had some substantive conversations when she was Indiana’s first lady. In one, she described what making big decisions did not just to leaders, but also to those close to them. The emotional costs imposed on the entire family, she said, could be overwhelming.

At the time we talked, Susan and her husband often were dismissed in Indiana political circles as animate versions of Barbie and Ken dolls. People focused more attention on the fact that she had been a beauty queen—Miss Southern California, no less—than on her sterling academic record at two top-flight schools, Berkeley for her undergraduate work and the University of Southern California for her law degree. Nor did they seem to notice that, despite her youth, she held her own with the finest legal minds in the country.

Physical attractiveness can be both blessing and curse. The sheer sunniness of Susan Bayh’s appearance, the radiance of her smile, in some ways obscured the depths of her character.

In death, the tendency is to caricature people once again, to sweeten memories of them to help make grief more palatable. This is particularly true when the departed could be as charmingly affable as she could be.

But to do so denies Susan Bayh’s immense strength.

The guess here is that she watched over those she loved—her husband and her twin sons, especially—with the ferocity of a warrior priestess. She nurtured those she cared about, but she also saw that they were protected.

Susan Bayh did it with a smile on her face because that’s what people expected from someone who looked like her. She did so because she was smart, certainly wise enough to understand that much.

Her family says her passing leaves this world a darker place.

Yes, it does.

May she rest in peace.

Special guest, rap artist Roy Kinsey, will speak at 11 a.m. on February 17 as a part of the LA EDIC Teach-in. Chicago-born and raised, Kinsey is a bit of an anomaly when it comes to tradition in his respective industries. Where being a black, queer-identified, rapper and librarian may be an intimidating choice for some, Kinsey’s non-conformist ideology has informed his sixth album and self-proclaimed “best work yet,” Kinsey: A Memoir. It is the manifestation of a queer man, in a black body, coming of age in Chicago.

The keynote speaker for Mandela Social Justice Day, Dr. Manisha Sinha, will speak at Noon on February 18. Sinha is the James L. and Shirley A. Draper Chair in American History at the University of Connecticut and a leading authority on the history of slavery and abolition and the Civil War and Reconstruction. She was born in India and received her PhD from Columbia University. She is the author of The Counterrevolution of Slavery: Politics and Ideology in Antebellum South Carolina and The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition. She is currently writing a book on the “greater reconstruction” of American democracy after the Civil War.

 

The University of Southern Indiana has sponsored the Nelson Mandela Social Justice Day and Speaker Series since 2014. The goal of these events is to raise dialogue at USI around current issues of human and civil rights, public service and activism through diverse, dynamic, nationally and internationally known public intellectuals and academics. Previous speakers include authors Tim Wise and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, community organizer Tia Oso and academics and activists such as Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Angela Davis. For more information about the annual event, visit the Mandela Social Justice Day webpage at USI.edu/msjd.

The 2021 Mandela Social Justice Day is sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts, the Pott College of Science, Engineering and Education, the College of Nursing and Health Professions and USI Housing and Residence Life. For more information about these events, contact Dr. Sakina Hughes, Director of Africana Studies and Associate Professor of History, at shughes1@usi.edu or 812-465-1224.

Arrest of Jason Lee Hale in connection to the attempted robbery from January 27E

0

 An arrest was made today in connection to the attempted robbery from January 27, at Kwik Stop Liquor. Jason Lee Hale (26) is currently being held at the Vanderburgh County Corrections Center. He is charged with Attempted Robbery, a level 5 felony. 

On January 27, around 7:15 p.m., the Evansville Police Department (E.P.D.) was dispatched to a hold up alarm at the Kwik Stop Liquor at First Ave. and Louisiana (1201 N. First Ave). Once on scene, it was determined a male wearing a brown jacket, jeans, and what appeared to be green gym shoes had told the clerk he had a weapon and wanted money. The suspect did not receive any money and left the store eastbound on foot.  

  An E.P.D. K9 Unit was dispatched to the scene in an attempt to track the suspect, but was unable to locate him. 

 Included is a still picture taken from the store of the suspect. 

 If anyone has information on this robbery attempt, they are asked
