Some Reminders for Election Day

0

Election Day is finally here! After today it will be safe to turn on the TV without the onslaught of campaign ads, and the barrage of political texts will end when the polls close.

Early voters have cast 44,913 in Vanderburgh County. If you think the enormous early turnout means you’ll breeze through today with no line, think again. The county has over 136,000 registered voters, leaving 91,000 eligible to vote today. Not that we’ll see anything close to 100% participation; the largest voter turnout was 79,000 in 2008 when Democrats rallied and Vanderburgh County turned blue in support of Barack Obama. It could be possible to break the 2008 record if another 34,000 votes are cast today.

If you’re voting today, remember that you can’t wear any clothing or carry any signs with a political message. If the line is long, please be patient. Treat the poll workers with kindness; this is a very long workday with no breaks. The polls close at 6 PM, and anyone in line at closing time will be allowed to vote, but nobody can enter the line after 6.

Your vote matters!!!

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball opened its 2024-25 season Monday evening at Liberty Arena, home of the Screaming Eagles, with a 100-49 victory against Brescia University (Ky.).
 
Brescia grabbed a 5-3 lead nearly two minutes into the contest, but USI settled into the season-opening game with a 9-0 run over three minutes in the middle of the opening quarter. With 3:27 left in the first quarter, senior guard Vanessa Shafford canned her second three to give USI a 17-12 lead and surpass 1,000 career points. The Screaming Eagles extended their lead to 10, 24-14, by the end of the first after another offensive run that featured back-to-back buckets from senior forward Lauren Carie and sophomore guard Sophia Loden.
 
The Bearcats closed the gap to four on a pair of triples to start the second quarter. Around the seven-minute mark of the period, junior guard Ali Saunders turned two steals into two baskets to increase Southern Indiana’s lead back to nine, 31-22. Three consecutive makes from beyond the arc between Shafford and graduate forward Meredith Raley inflated the Eagles’ lead to 16, 42-26. USI finished the first half on another run and went into halftime with a 53-32 advantage after scoring 29 points in the second period.
 
Sophomore forward Amiyah Buchanan made her USI debut and had a solid stretch of play early in the third quarter. Buchanan reached double digits nearly three minutes into the third, helping Southern Indiana build its lead to 30, 62-32. Later in the third, Raley heated up from the floor while the Eagles’ defense turned it up on the other end of the floor. The Screaming Eagles led 77-38 through three quarters after holding Brescia to six points in the third frame.
 
The Screaming Eagles continued their offensive burst in the early minutes of the fourth quarter, including freshman guard Lexi Sepulveda‘s second three of the evening. Southern Indiana continued its high intensity on the defensive end, which created offensive opportunities. Saunders knocked down a couple of three-pointers and Loden got to the basket on multiple occasions to put the final marks on the season-opening 51-point victory.
 
Southern Indiana finished the game shooting over 48 percent (36-74) from the floor with 10 made threes on 21 attempts from long range. USI also shot at a 78 percent clip (18-23) from the free-throw line. The Eagles outrebounded the Bearcats, 46-27, and had 18 offensive boards. USI’s defense had 22 steals and forced 33 turnovers.
 
Individually, Saunders paced USI with 18 points in addition to six assists and six steals. Shafford and Raley each contributed 17 points, while Buchanan and Loden each chipped in 13 points.
 
In addition to Shafford’s milestone of 1,000 career points on Monday, Raley surpassed 500 career rebounds. The duo of Shafford and Raley joined 10 other Screaming Eagles in USI Women’s Basketball history to reach 1,000 points and 500 rebounds while in a USI uniform.
 
For Brescia, the Bearcats were 15-45 for 33 percent from the field. Brescia had five treys and was 14-19 for over 73 percent at the foul line. The Bearcats had two players score 10-plus points in the game.
 
Next, the Screaming Eagles make their first road trip this season on Friday when USI travels to the University of Louisville to face the 17th-ranked Cardinals. Gametime is at 6 p.m. CT from the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. Broadcast coverage is on ACC Network Extra and The Spin 95.7 FM.

The University of Southern Indiana Dental Clinic, located in the Health Professions Center on the University’s campus, provides free preventive dental care to U.S. military veterans during the Fall and Spring Semesters. Services include dental exam, dental hygiene treatment (cleaning), X-rays, fluoride treatment and sealants.

“Access to V.A. sponsored dental care may be limited for local veterans,” says Emily Holt, Chair of the Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting Programs. “The services offered at the USI Dental Clinic will fill the gap and initiate subsequent care for these individuals.”

Appointments are required and can be made by calling 812-464-1706. Proof of military affiliation and a picture identification is required.

The USI Dental Clinic is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to providing an excellent learning environment for dental hygiene students while also providing oral healthcare services to the community.

Patients receive a thorough assessment of their needs, oral health consultation and dental hygiene care and treatment based on their individual evaluation. USI Dental Hygiene faculty supervises students working in the clinic.

“Because this is a teaching clinic, plan on devoting approximately 3.5 hours to the appointment,” says Holt. “Please keep this in mind when scheduling a visit to the USI Dental Clinic.”

Upon completion of treatment, patients are advised to follow up with their family dentist for an examination and any dental treatment needed.

The Dental Hygiene Program at the University of Southern Indiana is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and by the United States Department of Education.

Do Your Research Before Donating to Charities

Are your customers interested in donating to charities assisting communities affected by crises and natural disasters? As tax season approaches, various scams start emerging like fake charity promoters will use emails, websites, and alter their caller ID to appear as a real charity. The IRS offers the following tips to help protect your clients against these scams:

  • Ask the caller for the exact name, website and mailing address to confirm the charity validation. The Tax Exempt Organization Search (TEOS) tool is useful to verify legitimacy.
  • Remember: do not feel pressured into making a payment at that exact moment, charities are happy to receive donations at ANY time.
  • Avoid providing gift cards or wire transfers when giving donations. Credit cards and checks are the safest ways to donate. Review the FBI’s resources on Charity and Disaster Fraud if you encounter a fake or suspicious charity before you donate.
