INDIANAPOLIS—Hoosier students interested in becoming teachers have less than one week to apply for Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship.

The scholarship is now entering its third year and provides up to $7,500 each year of college and up to $30,000 in total for top performing Hoosier students who have the desire to teach in Indiana for five years upon graduating.

“We know that having prepared teachers in the classroom is the key factor affecting students’ academic success,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers in a statement.

Students in the top 20 percent of their high school graduating class or score in the 20thpercentile on the SAT or ACT qualify for the award. Once in college, students must maintain a 3.0 GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours a year.

Freshmen and sophomore college students are also eligible for the award, but priority will be given to high school students.

“This scholarship is designed to attract Indiana’s best and brightest to the teaching profession while inspiring a new generation of Hoosier educators,” Lubbers said.

Next Generation Hoosier Educators scholarship awards 200 students across the state that not only considers academic achievement but also teacher nominations and an interview process.

Over 500 students applied last year from over 200 different high schools.

Students should apply by Nov. 30 at ScholarTrack.IN.gov. The commission will then select finalists by Jan. 4 to be interviewed at specific locations across the state. Winners will be selected to receive the scholarship will be notified by April 5.

St. Benedict Cathedral Gets $3.5 Million Renovation

St. Benedict Cathedral Gets $3.5 Million Renovation

NOVEMBER 28TH, 2018 JOYLYN BUKOVAC EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

On Sundays, the sounds of hymns and prayers fill the air at St. Benedict Cathedral. Although, during the work week, it’s filled with the sounds of construction crews hard at work.

The construction is taking a toll on mass, especially since pews had to be removed as part of the renovation.

“The first weekend that the scaffold was up, I apologized to people for the disruption that it causes. It’s an enormous structure, and it really is imposing, and it takes up a lot of space,” says Fr. Godfrey Mullen.

The cathedral was built in the late 1920s and hasn’t been renovated since the and 60s.

“I got a lot of response to my apology by saying ‘we find this to be exciting and this is the beginning of a project that’s filled with hope’,” says Fr. Mullen.

The church recently restored the roof to protect the church from the elements. Fr. Mullen says the biggest change parishioners can expect with the ongoing renovation is the colors.

“It’ll be much more subdued colors on the walls and then a beautiful rich blue in the ceiling. Again there, the idea is to help us keep our eyes on heaven,” says Fr. Mullen. They will also be redoing a portion of the floors and adding a choir balcony.

The construction manager says this project presents its own set of challenges, but he says they will be sure to do what he can to make sure parishioners don’t get dust on their Sunday best.

“Because they are wanting to keep having a mass on Sundays so you can see the chairs and the dirt and the dust they everybody is having to be in and around, so that’s just something else we are having to work with,” says Bob Hudson, construction superintendent.

They are hoping to finish this project by October of 2019.

AG Curtis Hill Cautions Fans Considering Buying Event Tickets Through Secondhand Person

0

As fans prepare to descend on Indianapolis this weekend for the Big Ten championship football game between Northwestern and Ohio State universities, Attorney General Curtis Hill today warned consumers of the dangers of buying tickets to spectator events through secondhand person-to-person transactions.

Person-to-person buying typically involves a cash transaction for tickets without documentation proving tickets are authentic. Buyers involved in these deals typically have no means of getting their money refunded if they learn their tickets are fake, lost or stolen.

The safest course remains purchasing tickets during initial offerings from the originating venues and their associated ticket vendors. Barring that option, buyers are advised to seek safer options on the secondary market such as trusted resale websites requiring debit or credit cards.

Anyone planning to engage in person-to-person buying should at least take steps to minimize risks of fraudulent transactions. Consumers should:

  • Double check to make sure tickets have correct times and dates.
  • Compare the appearance of tickets you are attempting to buy, if possible, with tickets you know to be authentic.
  • Obtain the names and phone numbers of ticket sellers, and call those numbers before exchanging any money to ensure they are valid. (A seller refusing to share such information or providing a fake phone number could be attempting to perpetrate a scam.)

If you believe you have been the victim of any type of scam or attempted scam, the Office of the Attorney General can help. Go to indianaconsumer.com or call 1-800-382-5516 to file a complaint.

USI opens GLVC play Saturday against Bellarmine

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball briefly begins Great Lakes Valley Conference play Saturday at 5:30 p.m. when it hosts arch-rival Bellarmine University at the Physical Activities Center.

Saturday’s game is the sixth of seven straight games at the PAC for the Screaming Eagles, who have won six straight games.

USI (6-1, 0-0 GLVC) is led by senior center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) and senior guard Alex Davidson (Salem, Indiana). Eschweiler is averaging 13.9 points and a team-best 9.0 rebounds per game, while Davidson is chipping in 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and a team-high 4.6 assists per appearance. Sophomore forward Imani Guy (Columbus, Indiana) and sophomore guard Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) each are contributing 10.1 points per game.

Saturday’s game will be broadcast on 95.7 The Spin and on the GLVC Sports Network. Live stats, audio and video links can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

USI Women’s Basketball Notes (11/28/18)
• Eagles go 3-0 last week. USI Women’s Basketball posted a perfect 3-0 record last week, including a 2-0 mark in regional play. Sophomore forward Imani Guy led USI with 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, while senior guard Alex Davidson contributed 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest. Junior guard Ashley Johnson and senior center Kacy Eschweiler each chipped in 10.5 points per outing as the Eagles ran their winning streak to six games with wins over IU Kokomo (84-57), Lake Erie (80-38) and Michigan Tech (80-65).

• USI empties bench. After playing down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of their first four games, the Eagles reeled off three double-digit wins this weekend, allowing USI Head Coach Rick Stein to play all 12 of his players in all three games last week.

• Everyone produces. All 12 of USI’s players found the scoreboard in the win over Lake Erie, with nine players scoring at least five points and four players recording double-digits.

• Eagles in midst of second-longest home win streak. The Eagles extended their home winning streak to 26 games with their wins last week. It is USI’s second-longest home winning streak in program history. USI won 33 straight games at the PAC from 1996-98 and 23 straight home games from 2000-02.

• 20-point efforts. Guy’s career-high 25 points in USI’s win over Michigan Tech marked a season-high for the Eagles and made her the fourth different Eagle to notch a 20-point game this season. USI has had eight different players reach double-figures in the scoring column this year and six different players reach double-figures multiple times.

• Stein going for another milestone. Head Coach Rick Stein is vying for his 200th GLVC win when the Eagles host Bellarmine Saturday. USI’s win over Lincoln Memorial earlier this year marked the 500th time Stein has been on the bench for an Eagle victory. Stein was an assistant coach under USI Hall of Famer and current Bellarmine Coach Chancellor Dugan for 159 wins from 1991-99 and has amassed a program-record 345 victories in his 19-plus seasons at the top of the USI Women’s Basketball program.

• Speaking of Coach Dugan… When the Eagles and Knights battle Saturday evening, it will mark the 13th time that Stein squares off against his former boss. Stein holds a 7-5 lead in the all-time series between the two.

• About Bellarmine. The Knights are perfect through five games in 2018-19 and are averaging 81.8 points per game, good enough for third in the GLVC. Sophomore forward Lauren Deel leads the Knights with 14.6 points per game, while senior center Liza Tibbs is averaging 10.4 points and a team-high 6.6 rebounds per game.

• What to expect? Watching USI and Bellarmine play can be like watching a mirror. Both teams are relentless with their full court defenses and use that to create points in transition. USI has won three straight games and will need to limit its own turnovers and control the paint if it is to push that streak to four.

• Around the corner. Following their GLVC-opener, the Eagles return to non-conference play Tuesday for a game against NAIA opponent Lindenwood-Belleville before a two-week hiatus and a December 18 road game with defending national champion Central Missouri.

• About Lindenwood-Belleville. The Lynx are 2-6 heading into their Thursday night conference game against St. Louis College of Pharmacy. They also host NAIA No. 4 Columbia College Saturday prior to visiting the PAC Tuesday. Junior guard Brianna Mueller is averaging 17.9 points per game to lead the Lynx, while junior guard Hailey Erdman is chipping in 13.0 points and 4.3 assists per contest.

• GLVC Tournament Points Rating System returns. The 2018-19 GLVC schedule, consisting of 18 games, is a non-divisional format, meaning the Eagles play their travel partner—Bellarmine—twice as well as four other GLVC teams twice. There will be no divisions and the standings will once again be based off of the GLVC Tournament Points Rating System, with the top eight teams qualifying for the league’s post-season tournament.

• Record book watch. One player is currently in USI’s record books:
–Kacy Eschweiler is 11th in blocks (62), 29th in rebounding (389) and is 41st in scoring (597).

• Magic Mark: 75 points. The Eagles are 404-75 (.843) all-time when scoring at least 75 points. USI is 277-26 (.914) since 1996-97 when reaching the 75-point plateau.
