400 Medley Relay Highlights Indiana’s Night at the NCAA Championships

0

The No. 17-ranked Indiana University women’s swimming and diving team continued competition at the 2018 NCAA Championships on Thursday evening at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin, Texas.

 

Heading into Friday, the Hoosiers sit in 11th place overall with a total of 54 points. IU’s total is eight points better than it was at this point at last year’s NCAA Championships.

For the second-straight year, the Hoosiers won silver in the 400 medley relay, as the team of Morgan Scott, Lilly King, Christine Jensen and Shelby Koontz touched the wall with a time of 3:27.01. The second-place finish is tied for the best in program history in any relay at the NCAA Championships.

King just missed her own record for fastest breaststroke leg in 400 medley history, splitting an incredible 55.67. The senior set the mark with her split of 55.66 at this year’s Big Ten Championships.

The All-America honor is the 13th in King’s historic career and the third for Jensen. Koontz earned her second, while Scott recorded her first.

In the Championship Final of the 200 IM, senior Bailey Andison placed eighth with a time of 1:54.17. Andison earned the seventh All-America honor in her career.

Andison’s finish is tied for the best showing for any Hoosier in the event at the NCAA Championships, matching Allysa Vavra’s eighth place in 2012. Andison and Vavra are the only two women in IU history to make a Championship Final in the 200 IM at the NCAA Championships.

In the Consolation Final of the 1-meter dive, redshirt senior Jessica Parratto notched her career-best showing in the event at the NCAA Championships, winning to finish ninth overall with a score of 320.65.

Parratto’s ninth-place finish is the best for any Hoosier in the event at the NCAA’s since Christine Loukas placed fifth in 2006. The Honorable-Mention All-America honors for Parratto gives her 10 total in her illustrious Indiana career.

The 2019 NCAA Championships will continue on Friday morning with the prelims of the 400 IM, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 100 backstroke, 200 medley relay and 3-meter dive. The action gets underway at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center at 10:00 a.m. ET.

YWCA Evansville Announces Major Gift from the City of Evansville Endowment Fund

0

The YWCA is thrilled to announce that the preliminary funding goal needed to replace the roof on its aging building has been secured through an emergency capital grant from the City of Evansville Endowment Fund (CEEF), a stand-alone supporting organization of the Community Foundation Alliance. Funds are still being sought to repair the extensive interior damage to residential and common areas of the historic building.

In a meeting of the CEEF board on February 27, an off-cycle award of funding of $50,000 was approved that, along with an outpouring of private community donations and a generous matching gift from an anonymous donor, catapulted the YWCA’s ‘Raise the Roof!’ campaign past its initial fundraising goalneeded to replace the roof on its historic building downtown. The City of Evansville Endowment Fund is not governed or administered in any way by the City of Evansville.

In early February, an urgent call for help went out across the city, as Erika Taylor, CEO of the YWCA, facility shelter for women and children and residential housing mobilized an urgent full-press campaign seeking donations to help ‘Raise the Roof!’ for its Serving as emergency and domestic violence for homeless women recovering from substance abuse, the YWCA building at 118 Vine Street is well-used and well-loved, but the roof had finally failed, though the organization has worked tirelessly to fund its repair over the years. Inside the YWCA where families they serve are housed, rain now fell into bedrooms and hallways; the interior had become a maze of trash cans and buckets strategically placed to capture the water pouring in, and damage to walls and ceilings in residential and common areas was compounded with each rainfall or snowmelt. Taylor was sleepless with worry.

page1image52139264Though emergency repairs to the roof had been completed over the decades and a contractor was in place, the YWCA still found itself short of the more than $100,000 needed to fully fund the necessary roof replacement. On February 8, Taylor sent a plea for donations through social media, local news networks, and the Courier and Press. The release in part read: “It is imperative that we have our roof replaced as soon as possible.

We are calling upon the Tri-State community to open their hearts and their wallets to help fund this urgent need.”

The community responded enthusiastically–both new and long-time supporters saw the coverage and wanted to help, often sending notes, letters, and touching messages of encouragement with their gifts.

Completely overwhelmed by the outpouring, Taylor says, “It reassures me so much to know people really do pay attention and care about our mission and the women and children we serve!”

page2image52124608A week of steady donations and a generous matching gift from an anonymous donor moved the needlesignificantly toward their campaign goal, but it was still not enough to cover the full cost of replacement significantly toward their campaign goal, but it was still not enough to cover the full cost of replacement.

page2image52125760However, one of those who had paid attention to Taylor’s plea and the Raise the Roof! campaign was Jill Carpenter, Executive Director of the Community Foundation Alliance of Evansville. Knowing the City of Evansville Endowment Fund had, in November 2018, granted to the YWCA for repairs to roof-related damage to the interior of the structure, Carpenter asked the CEEF Board of Directors at their February 27 meeting whether an additional amount, outside their regular grant cycle, could be granted specifically for roof replacement. The Board listened to Carpenter describe the urgent need and deteriorating living conditions inside the facility and was moved.

Jerome Stewart, CEEF Board president, explains, “The women and children being served by the YWCA have already been through so much, and we knew that providing this grant would greatly improve theirenvironment. We knew we needed to help them.” By unanimous action, the Board approved the grant.

Taylor, though relieved this goal has been met, now wants to send out another important call to thecommunity: The extent of damage caused by the leaking roof to the building’s interior is still an evolvingunknown. Any and all donations toward costs of repairing the significantly damaged residential and common areas throughout the building are welcomed. Donations can be made online at ywcaevansville.org or by check to 118 Vine St., Evansville, IN 47708.

SLIGHTLY ENLARGE THE TENT By Jim Redwine

(Week of 25 March 2019)

SLIGHTLY ENLARGE THE TENT

For many years many of America’s universities have gladly accepted contributions from wealthy donors whose children or grandchildren then receive special consideration for admission to those schools. The mock shock of the academic world over the current debacle concerning bribery and fraud in the admission process for colleges such as Yale, Texas, U.S.C., Stanford, Georgetown, Wake Forest and others rings hollow when the name on a building at a school is the same name as an under qualified admitted freshman.

When colleges sell their academic or athletic souls in return for the naming rights to stadiums, gymnasiums, libraries, classroom buildings and even practice fields, they have already set the bar at a level where money, not academic or athletic achievement or potential, is the criterion for admission. That does not mean there is anything anti-American about the donors or schools who engage in such practices. After all, there is little in our world that survives without transfusions of money. 

It is not those under qualified applicants who are let in that is the problem but those the ones let in keep out. No, it is not the generalized practice of giving preference to those the donors promote that should give us pause. Really, how many can there be who can afford to buy their family’s way into the “Elite” schools? Therefore, what universities should do is simply acknowledge the practice we all know has existed for years and continue to admit these not quite so bright or athletic applicants in spite of their shortcomings. They will probably fail in a year or two anyway.

However, after accepting the non-merit applicants, then the colleges should expand the freshman classes or the sports teams by the number of legacy kids admitted so that truly qualified students and athletes are not shut out. There is no great danger a genius or Heisman Trophy winner will be displaced by a ne’er-do-well as the true genius or excellent athlete will rise while the ne’er-do-well fades away. Of course, occasionally a legacy kid might later become a CEO or maybe even President, but he or she will most likely be insulated from running things into the ground by his or her advisors who have risen through merit.

Gentle Reader, you might sense a certain cynicism in this approach. But I ask you to consider this most recent affront to our academic and athletic sensibilities has so far resulted in fewer than 100 charges and none of those have been against students or universities. Whom are we kidding? America is not going to change from a capitalistic society so why pretend. Let’s publicly fess up to the realities on the ground and deal with them by making sure our freshman classes can accommodate both the few non-merit super wealthy applicants and those who truly merit admission.

Of course, the universities need to set the sales price for non-merit admission high enough that only truly wealthy families can participate. After all, we would not want merely middle class parents to put second mortgages on their homes so their children can attend those colleges willing to participate in this scheme. Such a practice might result in many more Americans getting the opportunity to rub shoulders with the “Elite”. That would dilute the pool of graduates and make the value of their degrees much the same as those of other schools where degrees are not negotiable.

Ashley Jordan to Speak at UE’s Annual History Spring Lecture

0

Ashley Jordan, the new executive director of the Evansville African American Museum, will be the speaker for the University of Evansville Department of History’s annual History Spring Lecture on March 28. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, begins at 3:00 p.m. in Room 170 (Smythe Lecture Hall), in the Schroeder School of Business Building.

Jordan’s lecture will be based on this quote from Winston Churchill: “History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.” She will also discuss the Underground Railroad in the Midwest and the migration of African Americans to Ohio. Both topics are Jordan’s research areas and specialties.

Prior to taking on the role of executive director of the Evansville African American Museum, Jordan served as the curator for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center in Wilberforce, Ohio. In addition to her professional experiences in public history, she has served as an adjunct professor for North Central State College in Mansfield, Ohio.

In May 2017, Jordan graduated with her doctorate in United States History from Howard University. She completed her undergraduate degree at Kent State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history with a minor in political science in 2008.

Jordan is also the proud recipient of numerous professional, academic and civic awards including the Pace Setter Award from the Association of African American Museums, a multiple doctoral fellowship recipient for the Filson and the Kentucky Historical Societies and the Black Excellence Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

James MacLeod, chair of UE’s Department of History, said that UE is “very excited to have Dr. Jordan come and deliver this lecture. She is an outstanding scholar and a wonderful communicator, and we are hoping this event will resonate with students of all majors, not just those who study history.”

7th Circuit finds leadership enhancement harmless error

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

An Indianapolis furniture salesman who used his business as a front for selling cocaine and heroin persuaded the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to buy his argument that he did not have a leadership role in the drug operation, but his 30-year sentence was still affirmed.

Geraldo Colon was a middleman in an Arizona-to-Indiana drug trafficking scheme. As he was purchasing kilogram quantities of cocaine and heroin from a Phoenix-based drug trafficker, he was also operating a furniture store in a mall in Indianapolis. He never segregated the mall’s lawful business, YRG Enterprise Entertainment, from his narcotics trafficking, instead depositing all the money from the mall and the drug dealing into the YRG business account.

In March 2016, Colon was indicted and found guilty of drug conspiracy, money laundering and making false statements in a bankruptcy proceeding.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana applied an aggravating role enhancement under U.S.S.G. section 3B1.1 on both the drug trafficking counts and money laundering counts for the leadership role Colon played in committing those offenses. Although the advisory guidelines range was life imprisonment, the court sentenced Colon to 30 years.

On appeal, Colon argued the district court erred in applying the leadership enhancements. In particular, the district court acknowledged Colon’s leadership role was not the typical situation of a boss with minions but he was a “central figure” through which “huge quantities” of drugs entered Indianapolis from Arizona.

The 7th Circuit conceded the facts do not support an aggravating role adjustment and that the district court erred in applying the leadership enhancement. However, in United States of America v. Geraldo Colon, 18-1233, the appellate panel found the error was harmless.

“The district judge emphasized the large scale of Colon’s drug dealing and its impact on the Indianapolis community,” Judge Michael Scudder wrote for the panel. “She also pointed out Colon’s utter disregard for the law, as evidenced by duration of his narcotics trafficking and his continuing to do so after others in the scheme were arrested, allowing drugs to continue to flow into the community. In the district court’s view, the fact that Colon continued dealing following these arrests, ‘in a more impactful way than even the guideline calculation, point[ed] to the leadership role of Mr. Colon.’

“In all of these observations,” Scudder continued, “the district judge made clear that a 30‐year sentence was appropriate regardless of the guidelines calculation due to Colon’s prominent role as a wholesale distributor of hundreds of kilograms of heroin and cocaine, and the resulting harm to the community. This record allows us to conclude that the errors in the advisory guidelines range were harmless.”
