About Warrick Humane Society: Warrick Humane Society, a no-kill shelter located in Newburgh, Indiana. It was founded in 1983 by a handful of dedicated volunteers who rescued lost, injured and neglected animals.
Since WHS opened their building in 1997 and began actively working with Animal Control agencies and other rescue organizations, WHS has saved thousands of animals and placed them in loving homes. Warrick Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) no-kill rescue dedicated to improving companion animals’ lives. WHS does not receive any funding from taxes or any national organizations. WHS is funded entirely by individual and corporate donations, bequests, grants and fundraising events. Because all animals adopted by WHS are
spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped as well as receiving any other special care they may need, finding enough funding is always a challenge.

| What is the STIP?
The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is Indiana’s four planning and construction document that lists all projects, and project phases, expected to be funded within 5 years with federal funds as well as state-funded projects that has been deemed Regionally Significant. It is prepared in cooperation with local government entities throughout Indiana, including Transportation Planning Regions (TPRs), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and Regional Planning Organizations (RPOs). The STIP identifies the funding and the scheduling of transportation projects and programs by fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). It includes all state and local transportation projects funded with federal highway and/or federal transit funding along with 100 percent state funded transportation projects (including highway, passenger rail, freight, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian, and projects in the national parks). The STIP is the culmination of INDOT’s and the MPO’s planning processes and translates the objectives set forth in INDOT’s long-range transportation plans, the Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) and Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP), asset lifecycle strategies, and Asset Teams’ business rules into committed projects for the upcoming four-year period. Why is it being amended? Periodically, changes are made to a project’s scope, cost and year of proposed construction. Changes are made with either amendment or an administrative modification to the STIP.
What is an Administrative Modification? Minor changes to the STIP can be made with an Administrative Modification. Examples are:
Administrative modifications are not required to be presented for public comment and are not approved by FHWA and FTA. Why is this Important? The STIP must be fiscally constrained. Only projects for which construction and operating funds are available are included. If a project is not included in a STIP, it is not eligible to receive federal funding. |

UE women’s basketball earns win over IU Columbus on Education Day
UE women’s basketball earns win over IU Columbus on Education Day
The Purple Aces had a season-high 17 steals on Tuesday morning
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s basketball team bounced back with an 84-52 win over IU Columbus for its Education Day game at the Ford Center.
After a tough loss on Saturday, the Purple Aces recovered quickly on Tuesday against the IU Columbus Crimson Pride for their annual Education Day. UE particularly shined on defense with a season-high 17 steals and only allowed three IUC offensive rebounds. Sophomore forward Maggie Hartwig (Sauk City, Wis. / Sauk Prairie HS) led Evansville on both sides of the ball for her third double-double of the season.
“What a fun game to be out here with all the local students. They were so loud and created a great atmosphere,” said Head Coach Robyn Scherr following the victory. “These games are always really fun and it was exciting to be apart of it. This game was really good for us as we’ve got a lot of games in a short stretch.
“It was a chance for us to get some players a little more comfortable on the floor. We had some players coming off of injury that were able to get on the floor. That part was really really valuable for us. I was happy with how our kids played overall, especially in the third quarter.”
In front of over 1,400 Tri-State area students the Aces kept it close early as the lead was traded seven times. UE’s first run of the game started with freshman Avery Kelley’s (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) first collegiate three four minutes into the first. Evansville then rattled off a seven-point run to take the lead for the rest of the game. Kelley added another triple to end the quarter for the Aces as they headed into the second up by three.
Both teams struggled to score early in the second quarter as only three field goals were made in the first five minutes. But UE soon found its offensive rhythm with a six-point run to take a double-digit lead. Adding four points in the final minute of the first half Evansville led by 13 at the half break.
The game fully turned the Aces way in the third quarter as UE’s defense didn’t allow a made basket from the Crimson Pride for almost five minutes. In that first four minutes and 53 seconds of the second half, Evansville scored eight straight points growing its lead to 21. After the Aces’ run was broken by a free throw they quickly responded with a seven-point run. UE’s lead grew to 32 with a minute and a half left in the third as freshman guard Kaiden Kreinhagen (Indianapolis, North Central HS) hit her second triple of the quarter. The teams traded free throws to end the third as Evansville held a commanding 63-32 lead.
In the final 10 minutes of the game the Aces removed their more experienced players to have all 11 of their healthy players get time on the floor. Ten of UE’s players scored at least two points as junior forward Mira Hanna (Palm Harbor, Fla. / Little Rock) had her first and-1 opportunity two and a half minutes into the fourth. Evansville had two brief four-point runs in the final seven minutes of the game as the team cruised to an 84-52 win over IU Columbus.
Three Aces set new career scoring highs on Tuesday including Kreinhagen, Kelley, and sophomore forward Claudia Clement (Barcelona, Spain). Hartwig was UE’s leader on the floor with 21 points and 10 rebounds while tying a career-high of three steals. Two other Evansville players ended the game in double-digits as Kreinhagen poured in 15 while guard Camryn Runner (Cicero, Ind. / Hamilton Heights HS) had 12.
On the defensive side of the ball forwards Tamesha Dozier (Louisville, Ky. / Wabash Valley) and freshman Elle Snyder (Latrobe, Penn. / Greater Latrobe HS) had eight rebounds each. Snyder also contributed a game-high six steals for two defensive career records. Despite being the Aces’ shortest player on the floor, Kelley recorded the only block of the game for UE.
Evansville will end its non-conference schedule on the road this weekend. The Aces head up to the Windy City to face the Loyola Ramblers for the first time since they left the Missouri Valley Conference in 2022. Tip-off from Gentile Arena on Saturday, December 21st is set for 2 p.m. CT.
