UE Tennis Adds Two Transfers
UE Head Women’s Tennis Coach Jayson Wiseman has announced the signing of two transfer student athletes for the fall of 2016. The addition of the Daria Pentsova and Chieko Yamada brings the incoming class of tennis players to five with the signing of three freshmen for the incoming class.
Pentsova comes to Evansville as a sophomore transfer from University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. A native of Kiev, Ukraine, Pentsova met with early success at the collegiate level both on and off the court. In addition to being honored on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll at UTRGV, Daria also went 3-1 in her first collegiate tournament and won the back draw at the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open.
“I was very interested in Daria coming out of High School, but by the time I had arrived here at UE, she had already signed at UTRGV. I am very excited to have Daria joining us as a transfer here at UE, she has a game that is tailor made for the American hard courts and she is an aggressive and tough player on the court. I am confident that she will be a major contributor to our line up in both singles and doubles.â€
Yamada joins the Purple Aces as a junior transfer from Shasta College in California. A native of Saitama, Japan Yamada played Junior College tennis in Northern California for Shasta. In 2015, she was undefeated in league play and was crown champion at 1st singles. Chieko was the #1 seed from Northern California in the California State Community College Championships where she was ultimately the runner up. Chieko also has an extensive background in international tournament play, participating in numerous ITF events and achieving a career high ranking of 552 in the world.
“We are very excited to have Chieko joining our team next fall. Her proven success at the international and collegiate level is a fantastic addition to our incoming class and will provide an experienced and successful presence in our line-up. Chieko is also a very hard worker who is dedicated to her success in the classroom, she and Daria both fit what we are looking for in our student athletes here at UE.
Both transfers will join the Aces in the fall of 2016.

Governor Pence Spokeswoman Statement on Meeting with Presidential Candidate Donald Trump
Indianapolis – Spokeswoman for Governor Mike Pence, Kara Brooks, issued the following statement after Governor Pence met with presidential candidate Donald Trump at the Governor’s Residence. Trump requested the meeting with Governor Pence. Previously, Governor Pence said he is willing to meet with all three Republican presidential candidates when they come to Indiana ahead of Indiana’s May 3 primary.
“Governor Pence was pleased to welcome Mr. Trump back to Indiana and hear firsthand his plans for the country.  The Governor was also grateful for the opportunity to describe Indiana’s economic success and expressed his desire to have a partner in the White House who will help advance pro-growth economic policies, reduce burdensome regulation and curb the size and scope of government. With more than 130,000 new private sector jobs created since he took office, Governor Pence believes addressing these issues is critical in order for Indiana to continue to be a great place to live, work and raise a family.â€
YESTERYEAR: CAMP SHELBY

On April 6, 1941, a group of local residents posed for this picture in front of the recreational hall. They included Rev. Richard Denbo, a chaplain and former pastor of Old North Methodist Church (left), Col. Robert Stillwell (right), and Karl Kae Knecht (second from right), a photographer and columnist for the newspaper, who is standing in front of Capt. Guthrie May.

7th Circuit: Prisoner Denied Due Process
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled a prisoner could not defend the possession of heroin charge against him and thus remanded his case for rehearing.
Officers at Pendleton Correctional Facility claimed they found heroin in Curtis Ellison’s cell and stripped him of 90 days of good time credit. A photo of the heroin, however, shows it was discovered in a cell on the other side of the building from him. Two guards Ellison was unfamiliar with conducted the search. Ellison’s correctional officer told him another officer had incorrectly attributed the heroin to him and requested the officers who conducted the search and the officer who made the mistake show up at Ellison’s hearing.
However, when the day for the hearing came, no witnesses showed up. Ellison said he never did drugs and said the heroin was found in a different cell. However, the hearing officer found him guilty. In District Court, Ellison said he was denied due process but the court thought he was challenging just the sufficiency of the evidence and ruled against him.
The 7th Circuit said Ellison’s petition was read too narrowly, and the court should have included his due process claim as well. It said when a prisoner is denied access to evidence necessary to defend against a charge, the claim is one of due process and not sufficiency of the evidence.
The officers should have been present at Ellison’s hearing, and the judge should have looked at the video of the search more closely, the Circuit Court held. Ellison is entitled to a new disciplinary hearing.
The case is Curtis T. Ellison v. Dushan Zatecky, 15-1884.
