Discussion Continues for Evansville Drag Queen Story Hour

Discussion Continues for Evansville Drag Queen Story Hour

JANUARY 31st, 2019 MEGAN DIVENTI EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

The Evansville Public Library plans to hold the first ever Drag Queen Story Hour next month. Following the first announcement, several protests, petitions, and heated discussions have taken place about whether it should be canceled.

“I wanted a meeting because if I’m going to be held accountable for the direction the library is going then I think the appointees should get together and discuss what direction we feel we should take,” says Cheryl Musgrave, Vanderburgh County Commissioner.

Vanderburgh County Commissioners have two appointees on the Library Board of Trustee, but one is currently open after the last appointee resigned.

Andy Ozete stepped down earlier this month and now commissioners are figuring out how to fill the spot.

“He was upset that he was denied the opportunity to vote on the program in question, but I don’t think that was the only issue that had upset him during his tenure,” says Musgrave.

And the decision was tabled for the Commissioner to have more time to discuss the next appointee.

“I just need a little bit more time to contemplate our various courses of action,” says Musgrave. “As I said on the record I want to talk to the other appointing bodies particularly the school corporation. And I’d like to talk to them about the direction that the library is going and does that meet our expectation or do we want a new direction.”

Those who came out were vocal about the next steps.

“I would like to respectfully request that a hearing, a public hearing be made for the other library board member that you as an appointing body are responsible for,” says one attendee.

Commissioners reacted to the matter.

“And I feel the library is going in the wrong direction and has for a while even without this very divisive issue and I resent that this very divisive issue has been visited upon our community,” says Musgrave.

“It’s my opinion that the library administration the library board should vote to cancel this event if for any other reason public safety,” says Jeff Hatfield, Vanderburgh County Commissioner.

Commissioner Musgrave says she would like to meet the proposed person.

“This is an important decision and I just simply haven’t had enough time to take those actions,” says Musgrave.

Commissioners say the library board won’t meet again before the commissioners next two meetings.

University of Southern Indiana Softball is the unanimous No. 1 ranked team in the nation according to the National Fastpitch Coaches’ Association Preseason Top 25 Poll, which was released Wednesday morning.

The Screaming Eagles received all 16 first-place votes after capturing their first-ever national championship in 2018. USI finished the year with a 41-23 overall record and a 15-13 mark in Great Lakes Valley Conference play a year ago. They went 14-1 in the post-season record en route to the school’s first-ever women’s team national title.

In addition to USI, the GLVC is represented by the University of Illinois Springfield (12), while the Midwest Region also is represented by Grand Valley State University (16).

Trailing USI in the top five was No. 2 Southern Arkansas University, No. 3 University of North Georgia, No. 4 Saint Anselm College and No. 5 St. Leo University. The Eagles are slated to play five teams that are in the NFCA Preseason Top 25 Poll, including Saint Anselm (March 6), No. 11 University of Alabama-Huntsville (February 9), Illinois Springfield (March 17), No. 13 Young Harris College (February 8) and Grand Valley State (March 5).

Head Coach Sue Kunkle, who earned her 500th career win during the GLVC Tournament last season, returns for her 18th year at the helm of the Eagles after her coaching staff was named the NFCA National Coaching Staff of the Year. Kunkle will look to a two-time All-American in junior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) to lead her squad into 2019.

Leonhardt was named the NCAA II Softball Championship Most Outstanding Player after going 5-0 with a 1.44 ERA, a .091 opponent batting average and 40 strikeouts in 34 innings of work. That effort included a one-hit shutout of top-ranked University of North Georgia as well as USI’s first-ever post-season no-hitter in USI’s 3-0 win over Angelo State University.

In the post-season, Leonhardt posted a 12-1 overall record with a 1.35 ERA, .152 opponent batting average and 96 strikeouts.

Leonhardt, who was named preseason second-team All-America by Fastpitch News last week, is one of several returning players that made a major impact last year. Senior second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana) and senior outfielder/pitcher Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) each earned NCAA II Softball Championship All-Tournament accolades a year ago. Johnson hit .313 with two home runs and four RBIs in the NCAA II Softball Championship; and posted a team-best .356 batting average with nine RBIs and 17 run scored throughout the postseason.

Bradley hit .375 with a double, home run and seven RBIs during the Eagles’ five-game championship run a year ago after posting a 7-4 record with three saves, a 1.87 ERA and a .241 opponent batting average in the circle as a sophomore in 2018.

Junior outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) also bolsters the Eagles’ offensive lineup after earning second-team All-Midwest Region and All-GLVC honors last season. She led USI with a .340 batting average, 14 doubles, 10 home runs and 51 RBIs in 2018.

USI, which has won two straight regional titles, opens the season February 8 when it takes on Young Harris at the UAH Charger Chillout in Huntsville, Alabama. The Eagles are slated to host the Midwest Region Crossover February 22-24 at Deaconess Sports Park before taking part in The Spring Games March 2-9 in Clermont, Florida.

The Eagles open their 2019 home and GLVC schedule March 16 when it hosts McKendree at the USI Softball Field. USI has eight home doubleheaders at the USI Softball Field, which will be decked out with new bleachers this year.

GLVC Tournament play returns to the EastSide Centre in East Peoria, Illinois, May 2-4, while the NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament is May 9-12. The NCAA II Super Regional is May 16-17, while the 2019 NCAA II Softball Championship is May 23-27 in Denver, Colorado.

In FoxNews.com piece, AG Curtis Hill laments ‘barbaric’ NY abortion law and pledges to ‘stand strong for a culture of life’

0

In an op-ed published today at FoxNews.com, Attorney General Curtis Hill describes as “unthinkable” a recently-enacted New York law legalizing abortion up until the moment before a child’s birth. Under the law, a woman wishing to abort at the last minute must only convince a nurse that a late-term abortion is needed to protect the woman’s health – “likely including (under existing judicial interpretation) her emotional well-being,” as the Attorney General writes.

“Thankfully,” the Attorney General adds, “some states remain havens for genuine equality and civilized treatment of our fellow humans – at least as far as the U.S. Supreme Court will allow. Indiana, for example, not only prohibits abortions after 20 weeks but also prohibits any abortion from being undertaken solely because of the race, sex or disability of the baby.

“Indiana also requires medical personnel to treat all miscarried and aborted babies as fully human; their remains must be cremated or buried rather than treated as mere ‘medical waste.’ These protections ensure that all lives – born and unborn, male and female – are accorded basic human dignity.”

In his op-ed, Attorney General Hill notes that he has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review lower federal court decisions that have enjoined these Indiana statutes promoting “a culture of life.”

Indiana Dominates Weekly Big Ten Swimming and Diving Honors

0

The No. 3/11-ranked Indiana University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams dominated the weekly Big Ten honors, the league announced on Wednesday.

The Hoosier men swept all three awards, as Zach Apple was named Swimmer of the Week, Andrew Capobianco was named Diver of the Week and Michael Brinegar was named Freshman of the Week. On the women’s side, Jessica Parratto was named Diver of the Week.

Apple was dominant for IU in the team’s win over No. 24-ranked Purdue last Saturday, winning three individual events and one relay. The senior touched the wall first in the 50 freestyle (20.09), 100 freestyle (44.27) and 200 freestyle (1:38.77). Apple also helped Indiana win the men’s 400 freestyle relay in a time of 2:57.23.

Against Purdue last Saturday, Parratto continued her winning ways, taking first in both the women’s 1-meter and platform dives with NCAA Zones qualifying scores. The Dover, N.H. native won the 1-meter with a total of 311.70 and the platform dive with a mark of 316.65.

Capobianco had a career showing in the 1-meter against Purdue, winning with a NCAA Zones qualifying score and personal-best mark of 424.95. The sophomore also recorded a Zones score, placing second in the platform dive with a score of 366.98.

Brinegar continued his stellar freshman season, winning both the men’s 500 freestyle and 1,000 freestyle against the Boilermakers. Brinegar touched the wall with a winning time of 4:26.95 in the 500 free and a mark of 9:07.43 in the 1,000 free.

The No. 3/11 Hoosiers will be back in action on Friday, Feb. 1 when the team hosts No. 8/16 Louisville on Senior Day at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington, Ind. Diving gets underway at 12:15 p.m. ET with swimming starting at 2:00 p.m. The meet will be streamed live on BTN Plus starting at 2:00 p.m. ET.
