USI Cross Country announces 2025 schedule

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Cross Country announced its 2025 schedule Tuesday.

The Screaming Eagles have seven meets on their slate, including the NCAA Division I Great Lakes Region Championships November 14 at Angel Mounds in Evansville.

USI opens the year with the Stegemoller Twilight August 29 at the USI Cross Country Course. Named after USI and Great Lakes Valley Conference Hall of Fame coach Bill Stegemoller, the Stegemoller Twilight marks the first time that the Screaming Eagles will host a meet at the USI Cross Country Course since 2013.

In addition to the Stegemoller Twilight and the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, the Screaming Eagles will run three times in Evansville as they are set to co-host the Angel Mounds Invitational October 17 at Angel Mounds.

Following the Stegemoller Twilight, USI toes the line at the Southern Showcase in Huntsville, Alabama, September 12. The Screaming Eagles also are slated to compete at the SIU Oscar Moore Invitational September 19 in Carbondale, Illinois, as well as the Gans Creek Classic September 26 in Columbia, Missouri.

USI defends its men’s and women’s conference titles October 31 when it competes at the Ohio Valley Conference Championships in Charleston, Illinois.

The 2025 season marks the first time the Screaming Eagles will have the opportunity to compete at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional after concluding a three-year probationary period into Division I this summer. USI won both the men’s and women’s team titles at the OVC Championships a year ago and have had three student-athletes win OVC individual cross country championships in its first three seasons.

If USI is successful in advancing either as a team or individually out of regionals, the NCAA I National Championships are November 22 in Columbia, Missouri.

Jones’ two-run shot helps Otters extend win streak to six

0
WASHINGTON, Pa- The Evansville Otters (33-52) extended their win streak to six games with a 4-2 victory over the Washington Wild Things (47-38) Tuesday night, 4-2.

The Otters sent out Joan Gonzalez for his eighth start of the season and he started off hot with two strikeouts in the first frame. He got a couple of quick outs in the second before two-out hits scored a run for Washington.

The Wild Things put runners at second and third with no one out in the third but Gonzalez found three straight outs without allowing a run.

Evansville found their offense in the fourth. After a JT Benson leadoff single, LJ Jones hit his seventh home run of the year, jumping Evansville out in front 2-1. The Otters pulled their own two-out rally in the fifth as Benson singled to single to add to the lead. Graham Brown launched a solo shot in the seventh, making him one of four Otters with 11 homers in the year.

Gonzalez settled into the ball game, sending down 11 of the next 12 batters he faced from the third into the seventh. The Wild Things found some more two-out hits, scoring another run, making the Evansville lead 4-2.

The reformed Otters bullpen sent Gunnar Dennis to get the final out of the seventh, which he did by striking him out and stranding a runner at second. He worked the eighth, using two punchouts to work a 1-2-3 inning. Garret Crowley was called on to earn his third save for Evansville. After striking out the side in the finale against Joliet, he did the same, closing out Evansville’s 4-2 victory.

The Otters bullpen needed seven outs and faced the minimum while striking out six of seven batters. Evansville extends their longest win streak of the season to six, the longest active streak in the Frontier League.

The Otters take on Washington for the middle game at 5:05 p.m. CT before the finale on Thursday. After the three-game set, they return to Evansville for the final six home games at Bosse Field in 2025.

Event Details

  • Know Your Neighbors: Immigration 101
  • Thursday, August 21
  • 6-7:30 pm
  • EVPL Central, Browning Room, 200 SE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Evansville

 

With immigration arrests rising, including in our region, people want answers to their questions. To meet that need, local organizations are sponsoring a free event “Know Your Neighbors: Immigration 101” on Thursday, August 21, from 6-7:30 pm at EVPL Central Library in the Browning Room.

 

BRIDGE (Building Respect & Integrity in Diverse Greater Evansville) encourages everyone to attend the event to learn how immigration works in the US, how recent changes are impacting people in the Evansville community, and why it matters. Speakers will include immigration attorneys who will debunk myths and local residents who will share their immigration stories.

 

According to Lora Stephens, convener, BRIDGE is working toward its vision of a community in which all people are accepted and treated with dignity. With this event, BRIDGE hopes that together we will build a more informed community. Stephens says understanding immigration and the real experiences of our neighbors has never been more important.

Know Your Neighbors, sponsored by BRIDGE, is cosponsored by the Immigrant Welcome & Resource Center, the League of Women Voters of Southwestern Indiana, Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel & Shoulders, the Haitian Center of Evansville, and Centro Latino + Americano.

 

USI’s Strezewski to present at Archaeology Month celebration at Dubois County Museum

0

Dr. Michael Strezewski, University of Southern Indiana Professor of Anthropology, will give a presentation on archaeological Hoosier history titled The Dry Goods Store: A Bit of Civilization on Indiana’s Frontier at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, September 13 at the Dubois County Museum as part of an educational event celebrating Archaeology Month.

Strezewski’s presentation will explore the entrepreneurial spirit of the Harmony Society, a German religious utopian community founded by Georg Rapp in the early 1800s. After settling briefly in Pennsylvania, the group moved to the Indiana Territory in 1814, establishing the town of Harmonie, known today as New Harmony. While the Society lived apart from the secular world, they actively engaged in commerce, operating three stores that sold both their own manufactured goods and items imported from afar. With one store in Harmonie and others in Vincennes, Indiana, and Shawneetown, Illinois, the Society became a key supplier in the developing Ohio River Valley.

Drawing on 14 surviving store inventories and hundreds of archival documents, the presentation will offer rare insights into the goods available to early settlers and the surprising role the Harmony Society played in shaping trade and daily life along the Ohio and Wabash rivers.

After the presentation, local collector Derrick Haas will be available until noon to share his knowledge of arrowheads, spear points and tools.

 

ECHO Housing & Community Development Receives $1 Million Grant to advance locally founded E3 Initiative

0

Evansville, IN – ECHO Housing & Community Development has been selected as one of only five grantees statewide to receive a $1 million award through the Mobile Crisis Accelerator Program (MCAP) to expand the E3 Initiative, a locally founded cross-sector crisis response model.

The E3 Initiative—Educate, Encourage, Enforce— was originally developed in partnership with the Evansville Police Department and Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare and has since grown to include a network of community partners such as the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, Aurora, Brentwood Springs, United Caring Services, Evansville Rescue Mission, and many others. Together, these partners are building a more responsive, coordinated, and effective system for individuals experiencing crisis.

Educate – equipping community members, service providers, and first responders with knowledge and tools to prevent and de-escalate crises.

Encourage – fostering collaboration, building trust, and offering supportive pathways to recovery and stability.

Enforce – ensuring safety and accountability while connecting individuals to appropriate treatment, housing, and long-term support.

This new investment will allow ECHO and its partners to expand the E3 model into a 24/7 Mobile Crisis Response network. Teams of trained peer specialists and crisis responders will be available at any time of day or night to respond to calls from 988, 911, and community partners, providing on- site de-escalation, assessment, and direct connections to housing, treatment, and supportive services.

“Many people in crisis are not only facing mental health challenges but also homelessness, substance use, or other barriers that cannot be solved in a single moment,” said Savannah Whicker, CEO of ECHO Housing & Community Development. “This investment allows us to build on what our community has already started through E3—meeting people where they are, in the moment of crisis, and walking alongside them to ensure long-term success.”What This Means for Vanderburgh County

A locally founded successful model is now expanding with state investment.

24/7 mobile crisis response paired with housing navigation and long-term wraparound supports.

Stronger coordination among E3 partners to ensure safety, stability, and recovery.

Direct assistance navigating services such as shelter, housing, mental health care, and substance use treatment.

Potential for expansion to additional counties as the model grows.

Vanderburgh County, including Evansville, faces one of the highest per-capita rates of homelessness in Indiana alongside significant unmet behavioral health needs. The E3 Initiative’s expansion to 24/7 coverage represents a major step forward in addressing these intersecting crises through a collaborative, community-driven approach.

ECHO joins four other grantees — serving Lake, Porter, St. Joseph, and Allen counties — in the statewide MCAP cohort, coordinated by Black Onyx Management.
