ATTORNEY GENERAL CANDIDATE DESTINY WELLS GAINS ENDORSEMENT OF THE 26AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS

AUGUST 26, 2024

INDIANAPOLIS—Today, Indiana Attorney General Candidate Destiny Wells announced the endorsement of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

The American Federation of Teachers was founded in 1916 to represent classroom teachers’ economic, social and professional interests and is an affiliated international union of the AFL-CIO. AFT is committed to advancing these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through the work of its members.

“The endorsement of the American Federation of Teachers is especially meaningful to me because our teachers and our children are the lifeblood of our Hoosier communities,” stated Destiny Wells.

“From our view as teachers, Destiny Wells is the only choice for Attorney General that mirrors the goals of the American Federation of Teachers—champions fairness; democracy; economic opportunity; and high-quality public education, healthcare and public services for students, their families and our communities,” stated GlenEva Dunham, President, AFT Indiana.

UE men’s soccer continues road swing at Memphis

0

The University of Evansville men’s soccer team hopes to build a road win streak on Sunday night at Memphis.

AUGUST 26

The Purple Aces renewed a 2000s non-conference series on Sunday night by returning to Memphis for the first time since 2011. UE and the Tigers regularly played one another from 2003 to 2007 after occasional matches in the late 1980s and mid-1990s. But the two programs have not seen each other in 13 years with Evansville returning to the Bluff City for the first time since 2007. The Aces currently hold a 6-3-2 series lead and won the most recent match-up 2-1 in overtime.

The Memphis Tigers come into Sunday evening’s match having dropped their season opener to the Lipscomb Bison 2-1. The Tigers fell behind early in their home opener against the Bison and were never quite able to get back within striking distance despite a goal in the 59th minute. Memphis was tabbed third in the American Athletic Conference preseason poll coming off one of its most successful seasons in program history. In 2023 the Tigers finished 11-6-2 on the year and earned a 2nd-consecutive at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The Aces picked up their first season-opening win in five years on Thursday night in a 2-1 victory over the Bellarmine Knights. UE’s win on Thursday was also the program’s first season-opening win at a road location in 20 years. Evansville last opened the season with a true road win beating Wisconsin 2-1 on September 3rd, 2004.

Sophomore midfielder Baraka Tarleton picked up his first collegiate goal along with the first Aces goal of the season against Bellarmine. In the 58th minute, Tarleton followed up on a shot rebound from senior forward Edward Mendy that made it past Knight’s goalkeeper Tudor Iordan. UE’s game-winning goal came from senior forward Nacho Diaz Barragan just minutes after Bellarmine tied up the match. Graduate forward Sami Owusu (Denver / Dayton) dropped off the ball to junior defender Nacho Diaz-Caneja (Coruna Spain / Oregon State) near the left sideline, and his cross found the head of Diaz Barragan near the back post for the go-ahead goal.

Indiana’s Adult Education Program can increase your skills

Indiana’s Adult Education Program can increase your skills
by Wendy McNamara

According to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, participation in adult education programs statewide increased 25% over a two-year period from July 2023 to July 2024. Preliminary numbers show enrollment topped 25,000 students between in-person and online classes, career training and workforce programming.

The Indiana General Assembly approved $4 million in additional funding for adult education programs in the state’s current biennial budget. Clearly, that investment is paying off.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a secondary credential improves wages by about $8,900 annually. With over 4,000 Hoosiers earning their High School Equivalency Diploma in the 2023-2024 program cycle, it’s expected to boost Indiana’s economy by over $35 million.
The Indiana Adult Education Program helps Hoosiers earn high school credentials, increase skills and get high-value certifications in industries like advanced manufacturing, building and construction, health and life sciences, IT and business services, and transportation and logistics.It’s never too late to earn your high school diploma and continue your education.

Can rethink our war policy, please?

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

With my mother’s side of the family long disregarding some genealogical and DNA evidence to the contrary, I allege that I am not at all Jewish.  I certainly wasn’t raised in any way to make me claim hereditary ownership of Palestine, or maintain enmity toward the sons of Ishmael.  I’ve in fact read a lot of history about Zionism, and the many prophetic warnings from T.E. Lawrence about western meddling in the Middle East.  So perhaps this disqualifies me from saying that we citizens, voters and taxpayers of the US of A, should stay the !@#$ out of the Middle East, and stop serving that shyster Netanyahu’s desire to cajole every nuclear power on the planet into war. 

After all, these days, only some people are allowed to speak on particular subjects.

But I nevertheless have what I think are good reasons for my disinclination toward WWIIIand self-immolation, no matter the geographic spark of the conflagration:  We’re past-broke, falling apart in every way, and on the verge of a very ugly multi-faceted civil war over, among other things, illegal aliens and partisan idolatry.  In other words, We The People are a hot mess, are in no condition, and simply cannot afford, what is already a rapidly escalating global war with a growing number of BRICS block nations who’ve tired of our global hegemony.  Besides, we’ve not finished our war on Russia yet.

However, I can offer instead, proven solutions to our internal problems that would set us on a course toward peace, prosperity, security, justice, as well as political and economic freedom such that none of us alive today have ever experienced.  I suggest we consider this offer, instead of serving the ravenous greed and power lust of the Malthusian eugenicist puppet master psychopaths pushing the world toward Armageddon.

Once we have, as suggested by our Declaration of Independence, righted ourselves by opposing the political forms to which we are accustomed, then we can go ahead and discuss blowing up the planet.

Does that sound reasonable?

Liberty or Bust!

Intramural field renovation complete ahead of 2024-25 school year

Intramural field renovation complete ahead of 2024-25 school year

$1.2 million project created a new turf field

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Construction is complete on a $1.2 million intramural field renovation on the University of Evansville campus.  In a collaboration between campus and Purple Aces athletics, the project is highlighted by a full turf field on the north side of campus.

This is the latest in a number of projects that have been completed on the UE campus.  The new field is already being utilized by the Aces soccer programs and is set to be used by intramural squads moving forward.  It also provides an open recreational campus area for the general student population.

“With the completion of new turf field, we are continuing to enhance the experience of each student at the University of Evansville,” Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students Dr. Rachel S. Carpenter exclaimed.  “It is special to partner with athletics in a way that has a positive impact on the wellness of the entire university!”

In total, the turf measures at 308’ x 282’ with the lined playing field being 292’ x 225’.  The facility is the first outdoor on-campus turf field that will be open to campus.  It will be available for use on a year-round basis. Funding for the field was completely covered through the sale of UE’s property on Division Street to Wesselman Woods in June of 2023.

“One of the most important goals within our athletics department is to enhance the relationships we have with the campus community.  It is exciting to be able to collaborate on a project like this, which positively benefits every member of our campus community,” UE Athletics Director Dr. Ziggy Siegfried stated.  “Our soccer programs have already been able to utilize the field for practice and we look forward to the entire campus utilizing its benefits.”

UE women’s soccer has first road test at Western Kentucky

0

The Purple Aces return to WKU for the first time since 2017

UE women’s soccer will have its first road test of the season tomorrow night. The Aces travel to Western Kentucky and hope to get their first win against the Hilltoppers in almost 20 years. The two teams renewed their non-conference series after a five-year break last season. UE did pick up its first result against WKU since 2013 in 2023 after a nil-nil draw at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

The Hilltoppers come into Sunday’s match with an even 1-1-0 record. WKU bounced back from a season-opening loss to Austin Peay with a 4-0 win against Division II Union (Tenn.). The Hilltoppers were picked to finish third in the preseason Conference USA coach’s poll. WKU finished third in Conference USA last season with a 4-2-2 record in conference play while being 6-5-7 overall.

Evansville began the 2024 season almost a week and a half ago in a tight 0-0 match against Lipscomb at Arad McCutchan Stadium. After losing to the Bison 3-0 in 2023, the scoreless draw on Thursday, August 15th showed the team’s improvement from the prior season.

The Aces are one of only 37 teams that have not allowed a goal after the first full week of the 2024 season. In the MVC, UE is one of only two teams that hasn’t allowed a goal with Indiana State.
Evansville is in the Top 10 in NCAA Division I in fewest fouls committed at 5.00 fouls per match.  The Aces only had five whistles against them in their first 90 minutes of action.

Fifth-year goalkeeper Myia Danek (Laingsburg, Mich.) made four saves for UE in her first match of her final season. In particular, Danek made a high diving save in the 86th minute to help Evansville to a shutout. It was Danek’s seventh clean sheet of her career.
