USI’s Empty Bowls annual fundraiser set for November 7

0

University of Southern Indiana ceramics students have worked with volunteers from across the University and throughout the community to create 1,000 ceramic bowls for the fourth annual Empty Bowls Evansville, a charity event to be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, November 7 at Kirby’s Private Dining, 1119 Parrett St. in the Haynie’s Corner Arts District.

Most handmade ceramic bowls can be purchased for $10, and will be filled with soup provided by Sauced, Dapper Pig, Woodbine and Alex and Joe Lattner. Beverages will be provided by Tropicana.

This year will also include a selection of “Pro-Bowls” made by professional artists such as David Rodenberg, Pete Emery and Alisa “Al” Holen, event organizer and assistant professor of ceramics at USI. These upscale creations will have a higher price point to provide a new experience for people who have supported this project.

Holen and USI ceramics students began making bowls for the event at the beginning of the fall 2015 semester, along with volunteers from Patchwork Central, Deaconess Health, United Caring Services, the City of Evansville and Bosse High School among others.

Proceeds from the sale will go to ECHO Housing Corporation to help start a food pantry for the homeless veterans and families they serve, as well as donations to Patchwork Central and United Caring Services. Last year, Empty Bowls raised over $10,000 with proceeds divided between to United Caring Services and Aurora, Inc.

Empty Bowls is a national nonprofit organization that lends its name to any organization willing to raise funds to combat hunger by making and selling ceramic bowls. Empty Bowls Evansville is sponsored by the USI Art Department.

In addition to the Empty Bowls event, USI faculty and students will be exhibiting from 6 to 9 p.m. at Kirby’s Private Dining. The exhibit “Art of the Table” will be a part of the Haynie’s Corner Art District First Friday, a collaborative effort between local businesses, neighborhood representatives, and the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana featuring indoor and outdoor art exhibits and performers.

Indiana leading manufacturing rebound

0

The manufacturing investments have rolled in to Indiana this year: $600 million at Rolls-Royce, $140 million at Subaru and $1.2 billion at General Motors, to name a few.

 

Almost $2 billion has been invested to overhaul production facilities or expand corporate footprints — a trend that economic experts say puts Indiana at the forefront of states with manufacturing-heavy economies.

 

“It’s not the norm,” said Barry Bosworth, an economic expert at The Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank. “It sounds like Indiana is doing well.”

 

Indiana leads the nation in manufacturing employment — almost 17 percent of the state’s workforce is employed by manufacturers. More than 30 percent of the state’s gross product is manufacturing, again placing Indiana ahead of all other states.

 

Indiana’s long tradition of manufacturing, as well as its business climate, makes it one of the most viable states for production, said Chad Moutray, chief economist at the National Association of Manufacturers. Indiana has thrived since the Great Recession, he added.

 

Like other manufacturing states, Indiana was slow to recover but is doing well today, Moutray said.

Sophomore Emily Roberts (Fredericktown, Ohio) and senior Jessica Reeves (Midland, Michigan) finished second and fourth, respectively, as the Eagles claimed their league-record 10th GLVC championship and their seventh in the last eight years.

 

Roberts completed the six-kilometer course in 21 minutes, 24.10 seconds, while Reeves finished in 22:08.00. Lewis University junior Amanda Farrough won the race with a time of 20:51.20.

 

Junior Cathryn Peter (Tell City, Indiana) and sophomore Jessica Lincoln (Palatine, Illinois) finished 14th and 15th, respectively, to join Roberts and Reeves on the All-GLVC team.

 

Freshman Hope Jones (Cumberland, Indiana) rounded out the Eagles’ top-five finishers with an 18th-place performance, while senior Jamie Adkins(Owensboro, Kentucky) and sophomore Bryce Cutler (Benzonia, Michigan) finished 20th and 35th, respectively, to round out the Eagles’ top-seven.

 

As a team, the Eagles finished with 53 points, 15 ahead of No. 15 Lewis, which was second with 68 points. The University of Wisconsin-Parkside, this year’s host, finished third with 83 points, while No. 13 Bellarmine was fourth with 94 points.

Senior All-American Johnnie Guy (Palmyra, Indiana) captured his third consecutive conference title to lead the No. 6 University of Southern Indiana men’s cross country team to its league-record 11th straight Great Lakes Valley Conference championship Saturday at the GLVC Championships.

 

Guy dominated the race, finishing nearly 30 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher with his eight-kilometer time of 24 minutes, 34.40 seconds. University of Indianapolis senior All-American Alex Cushman was second with a time of 25:04.30.

 

USI needed Guy’s finish as well as the top-10 efforts from juniors Noah Lutz (Evansville, Indiana) and Chase Broughton (Marengo, Indiana). Lutz finished fourth with a time of 25:18.40, while Broughton crossed the finish line in eighth-place with a time of 25:54.10.

 

As a team, the Screaming Eagles held off the host and No. 15-ranked University of Wisconsin-Parkside Rangers by the narrowest of margins. USI finished with 41 points, while the Rangers were two behind with 43 points. Bellarmine was third with 90 points.

 

The Eagles, who claimed their 12th GLVC title in the last 13 years and their league-record 23rd overall, received a 12th-place finish from junior All-American Josh Guy (Palmyra, Indiana) as well as a 16th-place effort from senior All-American Tyler Schickel (Poseyville, Indiana).

 

Josh Guy joined twin brother Johnnie Guy, Lutz, and Broughton in earning All-GLVC accolades, while Schickel was less than four seconds out of 15th-place and an All-GLVC award.

 

Johnnie Guy was named the GLVC Runner of the Year for the third straight season, while Head Coach Mike Hillyard added two more GLVC Coach of the Year accolades to his resume with the men’s and women’s championships—Hillyard is now a combined 22-time GLVC Coach of the Year.

 

Guy joins USI and GLVC Hall of Famer James Nolan (1980-83) and Drury University’s Jaime Villa Zapatero (2008-10) as the only men’s runners in league history to capture three GLVC individual cross country championships. Guy’s finish marks the league-record fifth straight year that USI has had the individual champion.

 

Sophomores Jesse Stanley (Chandler, Indiana) and Cain Parker (Petersburg, Indiana) finished 20th and 21st, respectively, to round out the Eagles’ top seven, while freshman Darin Lawrence (Indianapolis, Indiana) was 22nd.

 

Lawrence was named the GLVC Freshman of the Year for his efforts. He is seventh GLVC Freshman of the Year for the USI men’s cross country team and the first since Lutz earned the honor in 2013.

 

USI returns to action November 7 when it hosts the NCAA Division II Midwest Region Championships at Angel Mounds.

 

Gonzalez Scores Twice as Aces Fall to Missouri State

0

Senior forward Mark Anthony Gonzalez scored a pair of goals on Saturday night as the University of Evansville men’s soccer team (2-12, 0-5 Missouri Valley Conference) lost 4-2 to Missouri State (5-5-3, 2-2-1 MVC). The first of his two goals gave Gonzalez 25 in his Purple Aces career and the final score moved him into a tie for ninth most in program history (Rune Bjoro, Mike Luttrull).

“We are continuing to battle and we are still trying to figure ourselves out,” said Evansville head men’s soccer coach Marshall Ray. He added, “We are getting to a point tonight that if we can do what we did in the second half, we are going to put ourselves in a good situation as we move into the Conference tournament.”

The Bears went ahead on a 35th minute goal and tallied another in the 39th minute for a 2-0 advantage at halftime.

Gonzalez brought UE within one on a converted penalty kick in the 47th minute.

The Aces trailed 2-1 until Missouri State tacked on goals in the 75th and 84th minutes.

Down 4-1, UE narrowed the deficit on another Gonzalez goal in the 87th minute. Sophomore midfielder Ian McGrath headed a ball up the left wing and into the six yard box for Gonzalez, who scored in the lower right corner. It was the final goal of the night in the Evansville two goal defeat.

Both Gonzalez and McGrath took a team-high three shots. Gonzalez leads UE with six goals this season. McGrath’s assist was his third this year, tying freshman forward Zac Blaydes, for most on the squad.

The loss is the ninth consecutive defeat for the Purple Aces.

UE remains at home to host Saint Louis on Tuesday, Oct. 27. The match will be held at Arad McCutchan Stadium and begin at 7:00 p.m. CDT.

 

Miranda notches 28 kills in 3-1 win over Drake

0

Purple Aces sophomore Genesis Miranda tied her career mark with 28 kills to lead the University of Evansville volleyball team to a 3-1 victory over Drake on Saturday evening at the Carson Center.

 

Miranda tied her career mark while also taking a career-high 71 attempts.  She hit an impressive .268 and was one of five UE (8-16, 2-8 MVC) players to record double digit digs.  Stephanie Cerino posted 10 kills and set her career mark with 19 digs.  It was the highest total in the match.  Lorena Marquez had a stellar night with 54 assists and tied her personal best with 13 digs.

 

“This was a great emotional win for our team, who played with determination and a high emphasis on efficiency.  We kept errors low and forced the opponent to earn their points by trading opportunities and extending plays with our defensive system,” head coach Manolo Concepcion said.  “The simple actions (serve and pass) were taken care of, which allowed us to actively involve the middles.  Special recognition goes out to Steph Cerino, who inspired us with her drive and hustle tonight.”

 

Leading the way for Drake (13-15, 4-7 MVC) was Kyla Inderski, who tallied 13 kills and Grace Schofield, who completed the night with 12.

 

Evansville set the tone for the night early on, jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the opening frame.  Miranda had two kills while Rocio Fortuny did the serving to give UE the early advantage.  The lead extended to 8-1, but Drake fought back.  A 10-4 stretch saw the Bulldogs cut the deficit to one at 12-11 as a Makena Schoene tally got the Bulldogs close.

 

They eventually tied the game up at 17-17, but a late run by the Aces was the difference.  With the score tied at 21-all, Miranda notched two late kills to help UE take a 25-22 win.

 

Drake had the momentum in the opening moments of the second set, going up 4-1.  The Aces rallied to tie it up at 6-6, but the Bulldogs responded with four in a row to go up by a 10-6 score.  The turning point came on the ensuing point as Mildrelis Rodriguez notched a kill.  Her effort started UE on a 9-1 run to put UE up 15-11.  The Bulldogs got within two at 15-13, but Evansville rallied to win 25-16.  A Cerino kill clinched the set and Miranda had two late service aces.

 

In the third game, the Bulldogs once again had the early advantage, going up 13-8.  Still leading at 19-15, Drake let Evansville slip back into the game as an error saw UE tie it up at 22-22.  With the match in the balance, Grace Schofield gave the Bulldogs the set win with a kill to finish a 25-23 win.

 

After allowing Drake to make it a 2-1 match, the Aces left no doubt in the fourth.  They never let the Bulldogs lead in taking a 25-18 win.  Miranda had six more kills while the team limited the Bulldogs to just .077 hitting.

 

It is back to the road for UE next weekend as they face Bradley on Friday before traveling to Chicago to play Loyola on Saturday.
