Eagles pour in four goals in win against Skyhawks

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer poured on the offense Thursday night at Strassweg Field in a 4-1 conference victory against the University of Tennessee at Martin.
 
In its second Ohio Valley Conference match this season, Southern Indiana (2-6-3, 1-0-1 OVC) had to battle less-than-ideal weather for the second time in as many weeks on Thursday with heavy rain falling off and on throughout the evening. The Screaming Eagles showed once again they were not fazed.
 
USI came out buzzing on the field and aggressive toward goal. Sophomore midfielder Pilar Torres set the tone with a pair of shots on goal within the first two minutes of the match. Recording several more shots in the opening minutes, Southern Indiana claimed a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute when Torres slotted a pass from the wing that was tapped inside the near post by junior midfielder Peyton Murphy, her first goal of the season.
 
Nearly seven minutes later, USI doubled its advantage to 2-0. Torres dished out her second assist of the night after dribbling down the field and finding junior midfielder Emerson Grafton to her left, who finished the play with her second goal of the season.
 
With under 10 minutes left in the first half, UT Martin (2-5-3, 1-1-0 OVC) looked to respond by putting a couple of shots on goal, including one that forced USI redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland to make a highlight jumping punch-save over the crossbar. A few minutes later right before halftime, senior midfielder Adriana Berruti gave the Eagles a 3-0 lead with her first career goal after a throw-in by junior defender Brynn Quick and a connecting pass across the face of goal from Murphy.
 
Southern Indiana stayed strong defensively and remained on the offensive to start the second half of play. Following a pair of blocked shot attempts inside the box, the ball deflected out to the top of the 18 where junior defender Charli Grafton rifled a one-timer into the top-right corner of the goal to push USI’s lead to four. It marked the first time the Grafton sisters scored in the same game.
 
The visiting Skyhawks got one goal back in the 73rd minute, but the Screaming Eagles did not relinquish their lead any further and secured the 4-1 victory.
 
Southern Indiana took 20 shot attempts Thursday evening, the most since USI had 21 in last season’s 1-1 tie against UT Martin. USI placed eight of its 20 shots on goal on Thursday. The Skyhawks had five of its nine shots go on target. Plus, entering Thursday’s action, USI and UT Martin were one and two, respectively, in the OVC for most fouls committed this season. The two sides combined for only 15 fouls Thursday.
 
Individually, Murphy led USI with four shots with Torres and Charli Grafton posting a team-high two shots on goal. Torres had three total shot attempts in addition to two assists. The last time a Screaming Eagles had a pair of assists in a game was in August 2022 when Morgan Beyer and Jill DiTusa each had two helpers against Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Between the posts, Markland totaled four saves for USI.
 
After Thursday’s action and claiming three points, Southern Indiana moved into a tie for second in the OVC standings with four points alongside Lindenwood University and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
 
Next, the Screaming Eagles will host Eastern Illinois University Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field in Ohio Valley Conference play. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Links for match coverage can be found at usiscreamingeagles.com.

Aces women’s soccer ties at Missouri State
The Purple Aces picked up their first point on the road this season
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team picked up its second straight point in a 1-1 draw at Missouri State.
The Purple Aces scored their first goal in Springfield since 2014 on Thursday night in their final conference visit to Missouri State. Freshman defender Emmy Brenner (Arlington, Tenn. / St. Benedict at Auburndale HS) scored her second goal of the season to tie the match in the 73rd minute. Thursday’s result was the first for Evansville against Missouri State since 2021.
UE got the jump on Missouri State to start the match with an early corner kick and shot attempt from sophomore midfielder Ella Hamner (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS). But the Bears took control of the game’s pace for the rest of the first half. The Aces defense fended off 10 shots from Missouri State over 40 minutes, including two team saves along with goalkeeper Myia Danek.
The pace of the match evened out in the second half as neither team put up more than a shot over the first 15 minutes. But the Bears had the slight advantage with three shots over 10 minutes midway through the half. The pace in Evansville’s defensive end resulted in a Missouri State goal in the 71st minute. The Bears wouldn’t hold the lead for long as UE responded almost immediately.
In the 74th minute the Aces took a corner kick on right side of the pitch. Junior forward Amy Velazquez (Avon, Ind. / Avon HS) took the kick for the set piece and found Brenner just outside the six. Brenner was able to rise up and head the ball into the back of the net for her second goal to equalize the match. The goal was Brenner’s second of the season and Velazquez was credited with her first assist of the year.
Evansville continued to attack Missouri State’s net in the final 15 minutes of play. UE recorded four corner kicks in the final five minutes of the match trying for a second set piece goal to leave Springfield with a win. The Aces put two shots on net during those four corner kicks but weren’t able to get the game-winning goal. But Evansville earned its first result against the Bears since the 2019 season.
UE has a week off before returning to action at home in Evansville. The Aces will welcome the UNI Panthers to Arad McCutchan Stadium on Thursday, October 3rd. Kick-off against the Panthers is set for 6 p.m. from Evansville.

Did People Pay 91% Tax Rates in the 1950s & if not What was the Reality Compared to Today?
CCO FEATURE WRITER, JOE WALLACE
SEPTEMBER 27, 2024
The claim that the top 1% of earners in the 1950s paid a 91% tax rate is based on the statutory top marginal tax rate, which was indeed 91% at its peak. However, this figure does not reflect the actual effective tax rate paid by most of the top earners, as the tax system then, like now, included numerous deductions, exemptions, and loopholes. The effective tax rate (the actual percentage of income paid in taxes after deductions) was much lower than the marginal rate.

Here’s a breakdown to compare the tax rates and contributions of the top 1% from the 1950s to today:

1. Top Marginal Tax Rate in the 1950s vs. Today:

  • 1950s: The top marginal tax rate was as high as 91% during parts of the 1950s (from 1951 to 1963). However, few people paid this rate due to deductions and exclusions.
  • Today: The top marginal tax rate in the U.S. is 37% as of 2023, plus potential state and local taxes, bringing the effective rate higher in some states.

2. Effective Tax Rate for the Top 1%:

  • 1950s: Estimates suggest that the top 1% paid an effective federal income tax rate of around 42-45%. The significant gap between the marginal and effective tax rate was due to tax deductions and exclusions.
  • Today: In 2020, the effective tax rate for the top 1% was approximately 26-28% at the federal level, though it can vary slightly based on deductions and state taxes.

3. Percentage of Total Income Taxes Paid by the Top 1%:

  • 1950s: The top 1% paid roughly 30-35% of all federal income taxes.
  • Today: The top 1% pays about 40% of all federal income taxes in the U.S. (data as of 2020).

4. How Many People Pay the Top Rates?

  • 1950s: The number of people actually paying the top 91% rate was minuscule, likely fewer than 10,000 households in a country of over 150 million people. Most wealthy individuals managed to pay a lower effective rate through deductions.
  • Today: The top 1% of income earners consist of approximately 1.4 million households (based on the U.S. population in 2023).

Comparative Table

Metric 1950s Today (2023)
Top Marginal Tax Rate 91% 37%
Effective Tax Rate (Top 1%) 42-45% 26-28%
% of Total Income Taxes Paid (Top 1%) 30-35% ~40%
Number of People Paying Top Rates Fewer than 10,000 households ~1.4 million households

Summary:

While the top statutory tax rate in the 1950s was much higher (91%) than today’s rate of 37%, the effective tax rate for the top 1% was lower due to numerous deductions and loopholes. In reality, top earners in the 1950s were paying about 42-45% of their income in taxes, while today, it’s closer to 26-28%. Despite the reduction in rates, the top 1% today contributes a larger share (about 40%) of total federal income taxes compared to around 30-35% in the 1950s.

History OF Soldiers And Sailors Memorial Coliseum In Vanderburgh County

0

The Coliseum was erected as a tribute to the men of Vanderburgh County who fought in the American Civil War and Spanish-American War. After several old buildings were torn down, the cornerstone of the 66,000-square-foot facility was laid on May 9, 1916. Construction concluded in March 1917, and the Coliseum was formally dedicated on April 18, 1917, right around the time the United States joined World War I. The original construction cost $180,000.[2]

The neoclassical coliseum was designed by Shopbell & Company and provided the community with its first modern facility for conventions and other public gatherings. The ceremonial aspect of the building was heightened by placing the structure directly on an axis with Fourth Street. Rockport native George H. Honig created two heroic monuments that flank the entrance. The Spirit of 1865, on the left, represents a victory for the Union. The Spirit of 1916, on the right, shows the reflective elderly veterans of the Civil War.[3]

Once considered the premier location for events in Evansville, the Coliseum was seen as dated and small when Roberts Municipal Stadium was built in the mid-1950s. When a push for “urban renewal” involving demolitions occurred in the city, the Coliseum was threatened. A “Save the Coliseum” campaign was developed and the same organization that helped save the Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse stepped in and saved the Coliseum from demolition.

In 1919, a 4,000-pipe concert organ was installed as a memorial to Prof. Milton Z. Tinker, for years supervisor of music in the local public schools. At the time of its installation, it was among the largest municipal pipe organs in the world. Earlier this year, Lynwood Hall Preservation Foundation, a nonprofit cultural and historic preservation organization, agreed to preserve the organ as a living piece of history.

When the Old National Events Plaza was later constructed, the Colisum’s use as an auditorium and convention space waned. In 1971 Vanderburgh County leased the building to the Vanderburgh County Veterans Council for a period of 99 years at the rate of $1 a year.

The Coliseum’s Convention Hall still retains a seating capacity of 2,400 and a standing room capacity of 4,055. The Veterans Council leases out the venue for sporting events, exhibitions, stage plays, wedding receptions, musical productions, bingo, concerts, and philanthropic organizations. The Coliseum has also home to the Demolition City Roller Derby‘s two teams: the Dynamite Dolls and Destruction Dames. The Coliseum has also been home to various professional wrestling promotions, such as the Continental Wrestling Association and the United States Wrestling Association.

The facility is currently being renovated.

THE OBITUARY OF CLINTON WAYNE KEOWN

Clinton Wayne Keown was different. Born in Evansville, Indiana, on February 25, 1980, Clint left us far too soon on September 22, 2024. He was not just a man defined by his unmatched athleticism but a soul revered for his deep love, unwavering loyalty, and the countless lives he touched beyond the arenas of sport. Clint was a legend in more ways than one—both on and off the field.

To his family, Clint was not just a competitor but a man who always put those he loved first. He was the devoted husband of Hannah and the proud father of Colby, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond. As a self-proclaimed “Bonus Dad” to Liam and Leighton Nolen, Clint brought his characteristic dedication and warmth, embracing them fully as his own. The family was everything to Clint. Whether it was a quiet evening at home or cheering from the sidelines, he was in constant communication with those he loved, ensuring they knew how much they meant to him.

As a son, Clint carried the values instilled by his parents, Rick and Julie Keown, who fostered the competitive fire and compassion that would define him. His siblings, Katie (Hank) and Casey (Bissy), were not only family but his biggest supporters, and he was theirs, always connected by a bond that transcended any distance. Clint was preceded in death by his brother, Cory, and his grandparents, Charlie and Anna Mae Haury, and James and Dorris Jean Keown. He leaves behind a large, loving extended family, including his cherished in-laws, the Jeff and Rhonda Hicks family, Halee (Jacob) Hicks, Lucian (Adrienne) Hicks, and Landon (Taylor) Hicks.

Clint’s life was shaped not only by athletic accomplishments but by his dedication to faith and community. He was an active member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church and served on the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls Club, giving back to the same community that had nurtured him. Clint believed in the power of sports to transform lives, and he committed himself to mentoring and coaching the next generation. Coaching Colby’s tee-ball team and Q’s fifth-grade basketball squad, Clint infused his passion into the kids he worked with, teaching them not just the skills of the game but the confidence and grit to succeed in life. His guidance helped young athletes grow, and his influence on their lives will be felt for years to come.

Of course, it would be impossible to talk about Clint without recognizing the sheer magnitude of his athletic achievements. His accolades are etched in the history of Evansville sports. As a basketball star at Reitz Memorial High School, Clint scored 1,766 points—fourth in city history—and was named an Indiana All-Star in 1998. His iconic number 33 hangs proudly in the rafters, a tribute to a career that inspired awe and respect. In football, though he only played for two years, he became an all-state wide receiver and caught the attention of scouts from major universities. Clint’s journey continued through the University of Evansville and South Carolina-Aiken, where he excelled in both basketball and baseball, earning his place in the Memorial High School Hall of Fame.

But Clint was more than his stats. He was a man who competed with an intensity that could not be measured, who won not just games but hearts. He brought the same focus and drive to every facet of his life, whether it was mentoring young athletes, building his portfolio of residential rental properties, or simply spending time with his family. To those who knew him, Clint was not just the greatest athlete Evansville had ever seen—he was a kind, loyal, and generous man who cared deeply for those around him.

Clint’s memory will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy lives on through his beloved wife, children, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and the countless friends and mentees whose lives he enriched. His impact on the world, on and off the field, will be felt long after we’ve stopped counting points or victories.

In this time of loss, we remember Clint not only for his legendary accomplishments but for the love he shared so freely with all who knew him. He will forever be missed, but his spirit will continue to inspire—an enduring symbol of the power of perseverance, passion, and love.

Visitation will be from 12:00 noon to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, 1301 S. Green River Road, Evansville, IN 47715 where a sharing of memories begins at 7:00 p.m. Visitation will continue at Holy Rosary Catholic Church from 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 26, 2024, until 4:00 p.m. when a Mass of the Resurrection will begin with Fr. Bernie Etienne celebrating. Private burial will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.
