UE track and field begins postseason at MVC Outdoor Championships
The Purple Aces head to Indiana State to complete MVCs
 
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — After another program record-breaking outdoor season, the University of Evansville track and field team begins its postseason at the Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Championships.

The Purple Aces return to Gibson Track and Field Complex this weekend for the MVC Outdoor Championships. In the pre-championship poll voted on by Head Coaches across the conference, UE was picked to finish 10th for both the men’s and women’s teams. Reigning Indoor Champions and hosts of the Outdoor Championships, Indiana State has been tabbed as the pre-championship favorites for both the men and women. The Sycamore men were picked as the unanimous favorite with all 10 first-place votes while the women had nine of 12 first-place picks.

The Aces head into the Championships after breaking three more program records at the Billy Hayes Invitational in Bloomington, Ind. UE has broken a total of 11 program records in the 2024 outdoor season including eight records on the track and three in the field from multiple student-athletes. At the Billy Hayes Invitational, Evansville reset two records and broke a third.

The first record set was the men’s hammer throw by graduate thrower Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind. / Princeton Community HS). After teammate Jaden Hayes (Huntingburg, Ind. / Southridge HS) set the record earlier in the season, Dove took back the top spot with a throw of 52.90 meters for 13th in the event. Hayes finished the event in 14th with a throw of 50.20 meters while freshman Cole Johnson (Salem, Ill. / Salem Community HS) had a throw of 35.26 meters.

UE’s other program record that was reset in the 2024 outdoor season came from freshman sprinter Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind. / Reitz HS). She became the third runner this season to set a new 400-meter dash program record with a time of 57.70 seconds for sixth place. Teammate Eilen Brenne (Skien, Norway) finished 17th in the event with a time of 59.71 seconds.

Evansville’s only new 2024 outdoor season record of the day came from freshman Rafael Rodriguez (Segovia, Spain) in the men’s 800-meter. Rodriguez broke the 2018 record from Stanley Chepchieng by over a second with a time of 1:52.39 for a fifth-place finish. The Aces also had top 15 placements for freshman Tommaso Losma (Lombardia, Italy) and junior Adam Oulgout (St. Paul, Minn. / Central HS) with times of 1:54.19 and 1:54.35 for 12th and 14th.

UE will begin their day at the MVC Outdoor Championships on Friday morning with the women’s hammer throw at 11 a.m. with track events beginning at 4:45 p.m. with the men’s 400-hurdles.

Softball completes season at MVC Championship

Aces fall to second-seeded Panthers

 NORMAL, Ill. – Just one day after earning their first Missouri Valley Conference Championship victory since 2013, the University of Evansville softball team fell short against the #2 seed Northern Iowa by a score of 12-3 at Marian Kneer Stadium.

After UNI took a 4-0 lead in the first inning, Marah Wood drilled a 3-run home run to left to get UE within one.  Unfortunately, the Panthers added eight more runs to their tally to finish the game in five innings.  Evansville notched four hits in the contest with Wood, Taylor Howe, Zoe Frossard and Niki Bode picking up one apiece.

UNI had a big start, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first inning including two scoring on a wild pitch.  Despite the early deficit, the Purple Aces stormed back in the top half of the second.  Hannah Hood led off with a walk while Taylor Howe had a 1-out single.  With two outs, Marah Wood approached the plate and connected on a 3-run home run to left field to get the Aces within one.

It did not take long for the Panthers counter as three runs crossed the plate in the bottom half of the second, highlighted by a 2-run home run from Alexis Pupillo.  A walk by Taylor Howe and infield single from pinch hitter Niki Bode saw UE look to cut into the deficit before three quick outs ended the threat and kept things at 7-3.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Panthers put the finishing touches on the game, adding five runs as they pulled away to take the 12-3 victory.  Taylor Hogan paced the UNI offense with a 3-for-3 day with two RBI and a run while Madison Parks went 2-3 with two runs and an RBI.

Sydney Weatherford made the start on short just one day of rest while Megan Brenton recorded the final out of the game.

Beware of Unlicensed Tree Companies & Insurance Fraud after storms

Beware of Unlicensed Tree Companies & Insurance Fraud after storms

MAY 10, 2024

In the past, after storms, deceptive contractors from out of town offering tree services have been known to price gouge, perform insurance fraud, and take money from their customers before any work is done and not come back or finish the work as promised.  Sometimes unlicensed contractors are also found by potential customers though internet sites that find contractors for them but do not check to see if the companies they represent are licensed.  Most established professional businesses are capable of invoicing their customers or waiting to receive payment until the job is done to the customer’s satisfaction.

If someone is going door to door looking for work, or from out of state looking for work in our area, you should be asking; Why don’t they have enough business where they come from? Or, if they are a locally established business, shouldn’t they be getting calls from people who need help with storm damage?  Don’t assume that local tree services will be too busy to help.  There are over 35 contractors listed as licensed by the City of Evansville, Department of Urban Forestry website.

Beware of insurance fraud and deals that sound “too good to be true”.  There have been cases in the past where contractors would have their customers sign an estimate form or agreement that had a blank amount and tell the customer ‘not to worry, because they would bill their insurance company for the full amount’.  Then, the contractor would bill the insurance for much more than what the work was for, the insurance company would deny the claim, and the contractor would later bill the customer for the difference according the blank signed form the customer signed that the contractor later filled out.  The police may even get involved with an insurance fraud investigation, not just investigating the company, but also investigating the customer.  Always get an estimate clearly filled out that describes the work to be done and the total amount.  Don’t hire contractors who refuse to write a full amount on the estimate for work claiming that they can’t.

Deceptive contractors are very difficult to catch, especially if they do not have you sign a legitimate contract.  They often claim that they are “licensed and insured,” but are not.  We highly recommend that homeowners in Evansville only hire tree companies that are licensed by the City of Evansville to do tree removals or pruning, which is a requirement for their license.  Homeowners can call our office or check our web site to ensure they are licensed or visit www.evansville.in.gov/urbanforestry.   Ask for a copy of their certificate of insurance followed by a call to their insurance company to verify the policy is still active.  Don’t hire companies that will not prove that they are insured.  You can also check with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org. 

If you suspect a contractor is not licensed by the City, please call our office to let us know at 812-436-5752.  Shawn Dickerson, City Arborist, City of Evansville, Department of Urban Forestry

USI Social Work Department To Add Online Master Of Social Work Degree This Fall

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s Social Work Department within the College of Liberal Arts will offer a fully online Master of Social Work degree beginning in Fall 2024. This new offering is based on the current in-person Master of Social Work degree but will offer the same classes in an online environment that fits any schedule.

Master of Social Work courses will prepare students to provide desperately needed services to help people cope with issues like mental illness, substance abuse, poverty and discrimination. Positions in hospitals, mental health clinics, schools, employee assistance programs, residential treatment facilities, prisons, senior centers, government agencies and many more settings are attainable after degree completion.

“When reflecting on my education at USI, I believe that my professors made more of an impact on my perspective toward the profession than a specific course” says Macie Cox ’21, USI Master of Social Work Graduate, Behavioral Mental Health Therapist, Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home. My professors did an amazing job at balancing textbook knowledge with their professional experience. I remember most of my classes transforming my perspective on the world.”

This online degree is meant to open the doors to higher education for working individuals that need more flexibility to earn their degree. This fully asynchronous program allows students to work on assignments at their convenience with no meeting time each week to plan around. The courses have a student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1, so students will have ample opportunities to interact with faculty and peers.

“The new online MSW program was designed to provide accessible and flexible opportunities for individuals to obtain their MSW at USI,” says Dr. Quentin Maynard, incoming Director of the Master of Social Work Program. “The online MSW program will educate and train social workers to provide clinical, mental and behavioral health services in our community. We are excited to see how this new program option will benefit our community partners and the individuals living in the Tri-state area.”

This degree is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, which uses a rigorous process to evaluate Master of Social Work colleges for the quality of their education and student outcomes.

For more information on the Online Master of Social Work program, contact Maynard at qrmaynard@usi.edu, or visit the Master of Social Work webpage.
