University of Southern Indiana and Historic New Harmony To Host Traveling Smithsonian Exhibit

0

The University of Southern Indiana and Historic New Harmony has been selected by Indiana Humanities to host a Smithsonian-curated traveling exhibit called “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” as part of the Museum on Main Street program, which brings exhibitions and programs to rural communities. The exhibition, which examines the evolving landscape of rural America, will be on display in New Harmony at Thrall’s Opera House from May 9 to June 21, 2020.

The traveling exhibition will tour six Indiana communities from Sept. 7, 2019 to June 21, 2020. In addition to the exhibition, each community has been given $2,000 in project funds to host at least three community programs around the themes of exhibition and create an exhibit that explores change in their community.

Nearly 100 years ago, the 1920 census revealed that for the first time, more Americans lived in urban environments than in rural communities. Since 1900, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60 percent to 17 percent, yet the vast majority of America’s physical landscape remains rural. “Crossroads” looks at this remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded.

“Conversations about change in our rural communities are vital to the future of Indiana,” said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of Indiana Humanities. “We are excited to be able to utilize the ‘Crossroads’ exhibition as a catalyst for dialogue around the past, present and future of rural Indiana.”

“Having an exhibit associated with the Smithsonian brand will draw a new audience and visitors to New Harmony,” said Claire Eagle, New Harmony experience coordinator. “Our hope is that this exhibit both renews interest and draws new interest in Posey County and New Harmony’s history. This exhibit will offer a number of opportunities for the community to be involved in telling their own story, through a variety of community engaged public programming.”

Indiana Humanities is sponsoring the tour of this exhibit in conjunction with its new thematic initiative—called INseparable, which launches in 2019.Through a variety of programs, Indiana Humanities will encourage Hoosiers to explore how we relate to each other across urban, suburban and rural lines and spark conversations about our futures.

EPA Bans Consumer Sales of Methylene Chloride Paint Removers, Protecting Public

0

Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule to prohibit the manufacture (including import), processing, and distribution of methylene chloride in all paint removers for consumer use. EPA has taken this action because of the acute fatalities that have resulted from exposure to the chemical.

“After analyzing the health impacts and listening to affected families, EPA is taking action to stop the use of this chemical in paint removers intended for consumers,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Today’s decision reflects EPA’s commitment to ensure that chemicals in the retail marketplace are safe for the American public.”

“This rule answers calls from many affected families to effectively remove these products from retail shelves and retail distribution channels, providing protection for the American public,” said Assistant Administrator for Chemical Safety Alexandra Dunn.

In today’s final rule, EPA found risks to consumers to be unreasonable. Acute (short-term) exposures to methylene chloride fumes can rapidly cause dizziness, loss of consciousness, and death due to nervous system depression. People have died after being incapacitated during paint and coating removal with methylene chloride. A variety of effective, less harmful substitutes are readily available for paint removal.

Paint removal products containing methylene chloride will not be able to be sold at any retail or distribution establishments that have consumer sales, including e-commerce sales. Those prohibitions start 180 days after the effective date of the final rule, which provides time for establishments selling this chemical to consumers to come into compliance with EPA’s ban. EPA expects that many suppliers will implement the rule much sooner. To the extent that consumers want to avoid the unreasonable health risks, consumers should not use methylene chloride for paint and coating removal.

EPA is also requiring manufacturers, processors, and distributors to notify retailers and others in their supply chains of the prohibitions and to keep basic records. Once published, the final rule and supporting documents will be available in the Federal Register docket at: https://www.regulations.gov/ and by searching for EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0231.

EPA is also soliciting public input for a future rulemaking that could establish a training, certification, and limited access program for methylene chloride for commercial uses.

EPA is asking for input on the key elements required for such a program. Upon publication in the Federal Register of the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), EPA will accept public comments for 60 days in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0844 on: www.regulations.gov.

Hoosier Diving Qualifies Two More for NCAA Championships on Saturday

0

The Indiana University men’s and women’s diving teams wrapped up a successful NCAA Zone C Championships on Saturday, qualifying two more divers for the NCAA Championships. Over the last three days, Indiana qualified divers for 10 spots – seven for men and three for women.

Indiana’s Jessica Parratto won her second event of the week to qualify in the platform dive, while Andrew Capobianco also qualified for the platform dive at the NCAA Championships. Both will compete in all three diving events for IU at the NCAA Championships.

The top-8 finishers in the men’s 3-meter and the top-9 finishers in the women’s 1-meter earned automatic berths to the NCAA Championships in those events. Once a diver posts an auto-qualifying finish in an event, he or she only has to be among the top 12 to earn the NCAA Championships berth in the other events.

Parratto was stellar again on Saturday, winning the platform final with a score of 595.15. The Big Ten Champion in both the 1-meter and platform dive, the redshirt senior won both those events this week for Indiana.

Capobianco was solid throughout his list on the platform on Saturday, placing seventh overall with a total of 687.70 to earn his spot at the NCAA Championships.

The 2019 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships get started for the Hoosiers on Thursday, March 21 in Austin, Texas.

Be sure to keep up with all the latest news on the Indiana men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams on social media – Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Men’s Platform

15. Cole VanDevender – 579.95

16. Seamus Scotty – 534.75

Aces fall to Redbirds in MVC doubleheader

0

UE hopes to take Sunday contestIllinois State picked up wins in both games of Saturday’s doubleheader against the University of Evansville at Cooper Stadium.

Game one saw the Redbirds take an 11-0 win before they finished the day with an 8-1 win in game two.

Illinois State loaded the bases with no outs to start the first game, but UE starter Emily Lockhart got out of the jam giving up just one run.  The Redbirds posted two more in the second before back-to-back solo shots and another run in the third pushed their lead to 6-0.  With one out in the third, Katie McLean drew a walk before Lindsay Renneisen reached on a single through the right side, but ISU was able to get out of the inning unscathed.

Over the next two innings, ISU added five more runs on their way to the 11-0 5-inning win.  Morgan Day threw the complete game for ISU, allowing just one hit to Renneisen.  She struck out seven.  Lockhart took the loss for UE while Ashleigh Downing and Hannah Shirley also saw time in the circle.

After starting out strong in game one, the Redbirds led the second contest off with back-to-back hits.  Freshman pitcher Izzy Vetter avoided damage as she recorded two quick strikeouts and a fly out to keep ISU off the board.  Evansville was able to score first in the bottom of the inning.  Eryn Gould laced a 1-out double to center to score Katie McLean, who led the game off with a walk.

In the top of the second, ISU got on the board with four unearned runs to take their first lead of the second game.  The Redbirds threatened again in the top of the third, but right fielder Mea Adams made two excellent defensive plays, including a throw to third to get an ISU runner out to keep the deficit for UE at three runs.

Evansville threatened in the third, loading up the bases with two outs, including hits by Mea Adams and Renneisen.  An infield pop-up by the Aces kept the game at 4-1.  Illinois State added three more runs in the sixth frame when Emme Olson hit a bases-clearing triple to push the lead to 7-1.  A solo shot in the seventh put the finishing touches on an 8-1 win.  Vetter threw six innings and gave up seven runs, three of which were earned.  Jaime Nurrenbern threw the 7th.

UE looks to pick up a win on Sunday when the teams meet for the final game of the series at 11 a.m. inside Cooper Stadium.

Eagles sweep McKendree to open GLVC play

0

Junior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) tossed her third straight complete-game shutout and freshman catcher Courtney Schoolcraft (Crest Hill, Illinois) hit her first-career home run as University of Southern Indiana Softball opened Great Lakes Valley Conference play with a doubleheader sweep of visiting McKendree University in its home-opener at the USI Softball Field.

The Screaming Eagles (14-10, 2-0 GLVC) rolled to a 5-0 win in the opener before rallying from a 6-2 deficit to earn an 8-6 win in the nightcap.

USI returns to action Sunday at noon when it hosts the University of Illinois Springfield in a GLVC doubleheader at the USI Softball Field. Sunday’s games are a rematch of last year’s NCAA II Midwest Super Regional, which USI swept en route to its first-ever national championship. The Prairie Stars (13-11, 2-0 GLVC) swept Bellarmine University in a GLVC doubleheader Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.

Game 1: USI 5, McKendree (13-13, 0-2 GLVC) 0
Leonhardt struck out 10 batters, marking her third straight start with double-digit strikeouts, as the Eagles cruised to the win in the opener. She also went 2-for-2 at the plate with a sacrifice and two RBIs.

USI began the scoring in the bottom of the second inning as a two-out rally led to an infield single by Leonhardt, who pushed across the first tally of the game. Leonhardt had an RBI-single in the Eagles’ three-run fourth inning to put USI up, 2-0, at the time; while a two-run double by senior catcher Lindsey Barr (Whitesville, Kentucky) staked the Eagles to a 4-0 cushion.

The Eagles concluded the scoring on an RBI-groundout by sophomore outfielder Alicia Webb (Elberfeld, Indiana) in the fifth inning.

Leonhardt (9-3), meanwhile, scattered five hits throughout seven innings and, for the fourth straight game, did not issue a walk.

Game 2: USI 8, McKendree 6
USI took advantage of a lead-off walk to score a pair of runs in the top of the first inning. Leonhardt had an RBI-double to put USI in front, 1-0; then she scored on an errant throw by the catcher later in the frame to put the Eagles in front, 2-0.

McKendree, however, answered in the top of the fourth inning as the Bearcats sent nine batters to the plate in a six-run frame. The Bearcats had five hits in the inning, including a three-run shot by sophomore outfielder Shelby Summer.

USI trailed 6-2 in the fifth when back-to-back RBI-singles by Schoolcraft and junior outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) cut the Bearcats’ lead in half.

Leonhardt recorded her fourth RBI of the day on a sacrifice fly in the sixth to bring the Eagles to within a single tally, while Schoolcraft followed with a three-run shot over the leftfield fence to put the Eagles in front, 8-6. It was the first career collegiate home run for Schoolcraft, who replaced an injured Barr behind the plate in the fourth inning.

In the circle, senior pitcher Haylee Smith (Florence, Kentucky) tossed three scoreless innings in a relief appearance to earn her first win of the year. Smith retired all nine batters she faced en route to the victory.
