“Celebrate the Trail†event invites walkers, bikers to enjoy trail
The University of Southern Indiana and Burdette Park invite the public to “Celebrate the Trail,†a bike ride and walk on the USI-Burdette Trail, on Saturday, October 24. The celebration will include a free lunch and giveaways.
Registration begins at 10 a.m. at three locations (depending on desired length of the walk/bike ride):
- USI-Burdette Trail at University Boulevard on the USI campus (6 miles roundtrip from USI to Burdette Park)
- Broadway Avenue at USI’s Broadway Recreational Complex (4 miles roundtrip)
- Burdette Park’s Building 18, located at Nurrenbern and Campground Roads at the west entrance to Burdette Park (short walks/rides within the park, or 6 miles roundtrip to USI).
Bicyclists will take to the trail at 10 a.m.; walkers at 10:45 a.m. Water stations will be provided along the trail. Participants will receive a free t-shirt commemorating the event and goodie bags while supplies last.
Everyone will return to Burdette Park’s Building 18 at noon for hot dogs, bratwurst, potato chips, beverages, ice cream and a brief program celebrating the USI-Burdette Trail and the partnership between USI and Burdette Park.
USI students may check out bicycles from the Recreation, Fitness and Wellness Center with their Eagle IDs.
The event may be canceled if it rains. That decision will be made by 9 a.m. on the day of the event, and an update will be posted on the University of Southern Indiana and Burdette Park Facebook pages and websites.
The USI-Burdette Trail was designated as a National Recreation Trail by the Secretary of the Interior in 2008. This trail also is part of the American Discovery Trail (ADT) that passes through Indiana.
NATIVE PALESTINIANS by Jim Redwine

NATIVE PALESTINIANS
My family tree has numerous branches but the trunk is mainly German and English. The recipe also calls for some Scotch-Irish, Swiss and too little Native American to get on the rolls of the tribes my ancestors anecdotally accumulated while living in Indian Territory for more than half a century before Oklahoma became a state in 1907.
Perhaps it is my birth and childhood on the Osage Nation and the influence of the Native Americans with whom I grew up, but ever since I became aware of Native American history from 1492 and Middle Eastern history from 1917, I have seen a similarity between European and United States behavior toward Native Americans and the treatment of the Palestinians by first, the British, then the United Nations, and then from 1948 until today, the United States and Jewish Israelis.
These issues are never far from the focus of America’s mass media and are currently filling the airwaves as several dozen Palestinians have been killed by Israeli Jewish police and military and seven Jewish Israelis have been killed by Palestinians in the last week.
As these events have been transpiring, numerous pundits and reporters have asked, “Why is this happening?†Why would Palestinians as young as sixteen attack Jews in the face of almost certain death, especially when all that is likely to result is the end of the attacker’s life and death or serious injury to the Jewish Israeli? No one is asking why the dozens of Palestinians are being killed or why entire Palestinian neighborhoods are being punished for the actions of what even the Jewish Israelis assert are those of “lone wolvesâ€, i.e., unorganized, impassioned individuals.
America has a great deal to atone for in our treatment of native peoples from our Nation’s birth until now and of our treatment of Jews until 1948. However, neither we nor other similarly guilty nations should attempt to assuage our consciences on the backs of the Palestinians who were completely innocent of European and Soviet anti-Semitism.
These issues have become even more complicated by the beliefs of some Christians concerning Jews, Israel and the Second Coming. It is difficult to rationally discuss the facts when some believe the events are divinely ordained.
However, perhaps there is room for give and take. Next week we might see if such thoughts are possible.

Winter, Whitfield lift Eagles over Northwood
Senior middle blocker Abbey Winter (Germantown, Illinois) and sophomore middle blocker Te’Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) combined for 22 kills, seven blocks, and a .460 attacking percentage to lead the University of Southern Indiana volleyball team to a 25-22, 25-20, 25-20 sweep over Northwood University in the opening match of the Midwest Region Crossover Friday.
Winter hammered down 15 kills and finished with a .400 attacking percentage, while Whitfield contributed seven kills, a .583 attacking percentage, and five blocks.
The Screaming Eagles (12-7) rallied from a four-point deficit late in the opening set to earn the three-point win. Winter tallied five kills and hit .333 as the Eagles took the early lead in the match. USI was hitting just .048 midway through the frame, but hit .539 in its final 13 attacks to finish the opening stanza with a .211 attacking percentage.
USI used an 11-4 run midway through the second frame to extend its match lead to 2-0 over the Timberwolves. The Eagles racked up four blocks and three service aces en route to the five-point win.
In the final frame, the Eagles benefitted from a seven-kill effort from Winter to close the match with a five-point win. Winter hit .667 in the third set as the Eagles posted their second sweep of the Timberwolves this season.
For the match, the Eagles hit .211 and had seven blocks to go along with six aces. Senior right side hitter Erica Oberbroeckling (Westfield, Indiana) added four blocks and three aces to her five kills, while freshman setter Erika Peoples (Bloomington, Illinois) finished with 30 assists. Sophomore libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) had 11 digs to lead the Eagles’ back row.
The Eagles, who have won four straight matches at the Crossover to improve their all-time record at the event to 10-12, return to action Saturday at 10 a.m. when the face Wayne State University. USI concludes the 36-team Crossover Saturday when it plays Lake Superior State University at 4 p.m.
Harper Students to Get Help from UE on Community Service Project
Monday, Oct. 19 and Friday, Oct. 23
2 – 3 p.m.
Harper Elementary School, 21 S. Alvord Blvd.Â
Third grade students in Autumn Neigbors’ class at Harper Elementary School have been working on a project that will help students half a world away – in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. On Monday, Oct. 19 and Friday, Oct. 23, the third grade students will get some help from students from the University of Southern Indiana.
The third graders have a theme this year of, “Be the Change,†based on the quote by Mahatma Ghandi, “Be the change you wish to see in this world.â€Â As a part of that theme Neighbors decided to partner with a school in Tegucigalpa, Honduras that works with kids who live and work in the garbage dump. AFE, the school, is trying to break the cycle of poverty in children’s lives by providing them with an education and striving to meet their holistic needs. (Currently 40% of the students who graduate from AFE do not have to return to the garbage dump, but are able to find more stable jobs elsewhere.)
To help, Harper students are working to fill a total of 18 backpacks to send to children who attend AFE. The backpacks will be given to students at AFE over Thanksgiving and will include items brought in by students including old clothes or shoes, Spanish books, school supplies, etc.
Students from the University of Evansville heard about the project and wanted to help. So, on Monday and Friday UE students will travel to Harper to help the third graders write a letter that will be included with each backpack and to help translate the letter into Spanish.
Neighbors will personally be delivering the backpacks over Thanksgiving break and is planning on creating a slideshow video of the entire process, including her visit, upon her return.
