Attorney General Todd Rokita warns Hoosiers to beware of scammers sending texts and emails claiming shipping-and-delivery issues

0

Attorney General Todd Rokita is advising Hoosiers to watch for texts and emails informing them of shipping-and-delivery issues with items they supposedly have ordered.

Scammers are flooding inboxes with these false claims in an effort to steal personal information and/or lure victims into unknowingly downloading malware onto their computers or phones.

“Our team works hard to bring scammers to justice,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Working with partners in law enforcement, we’re regularly catching and prosecuting more of these criminals. At the same time, another big part of our mission is raising awareness among all Hoosiers about these various scams so they can spot them and avoid falling into their traps.”

The fraudulent emails and texts often contain links purported to help the consumer track a package — when in reality those links connect to malicious websites.

These scam messages typically appear to come from such sources as Amazon, FedEx, the U.S. Postal Service, UPS and others.

An example of such a text received by an Indiana resident is below.

If you receive an email or text of this nature, DO NOT click on any links or reply in any manner.

Instead, if you believe there is any possibility such a message could be valid, simply contact the delivery carrier yourself by navigating to the appropriate website — without using any contact information provided in the suspicious text or email.

“Sanders Spotlight” to be displayed at USI New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) is proud to present “Sanders Spotlight,” an exhibition showcasing a selection of works in the University art collection by previous James A. Sanders Gallery Fellows.

“Sanders Spotlight” is on display now through October 14, opening with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, October 14, in conjunction with New Harmony Second Saturdays. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

In 2008, Sanders, Director Emeritus for Corporate and Foundation Relations and former Director of Historic New Harmony, provided funding for a one-year fellowship to support one or more students interested in exhibition design, publicity, curation and management at an art gallery through supervised applied training with the University Art Collection and at the Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries on the USI campus and the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, located in historic New Harmony, Indiana.

At each location, the fellow is assigned a project that supports the mission of the organization. In addition, there are opportunities to learn different aspects of caring for an art collection and managing a non-profit art gallery. In the newly created BG (Back Gallery) Projects at the NHGCA, a fellow will have the opportunity to curate their own exhibition. The fellow is required to complete a journal that describes the project and experiences of the fellowship. This fellowship connects the recipient(s) with art professionals in the region and aids in networking for future career opportunities. As of June 2023, 30 students have benefited from the James A. Sanders Fellowship at USI.

Previous fellows whose artwork is featured include:

  • Roxanne Burton ’12
  • Tabatha Chinn ’19
  • Sarah Howard ’10
  • Cheyenne Miller ’22
  • Debra Pellant ’14
  • Nathan A. Pietrykowski ’11
  • Livia Xandersmith ’18

Sanders had a distinguished career in education, teaching in the Henderson, Kentucky, and Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporations. In 1985, he left teaching to become the University’s first Director of Historic New Harmony, where he was able to combine his marketing knowledge with his interest in historic preservation.

Under Sanders’s management, he moved the organization’s focus from restoration to education, built the assets of the USI-New Harmony Foundation, developed new educational exhibits and involved the residents of the town of New Harmony in the University’s programs there. After 10 years as Director, Sanders accepted a position as Director of Corporate Relations at USI. He also gave leadership to the establishment of the Art Collection Committee and obtained funding to support the teaching collection.

The NHGCA is dedicated to enhancing the experiences of students through an artist-run exhibition space in the Back Gallery. Back Gallery Projects at NHGCA allows students to exhibit, experiment and/or curate within a working contemporary art gallery setting. Through exhibition and curatorial strategies, students can envision new possibilities for collaborations and their art practice.

NHGCA promotes discourse about and access to contemporary art in the Southern Indiana region.

USI’s Grafton and Markland claim OVC weekly honors

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer sophomore defender Charli Grafton (Sunriver, Oregon) and sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama) claimed Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week honors on Tuesday. Grafton was named OVC co-Defensive Player of the Week and Markland was named co-Goalkeeper of the Week for the second consecutive week.
 
Grafton picks up her first accolade of the season, while Markland has her second. Grafton and Markland helped lead USI’s defensive unit to a second consecutive 1-1 tie last Thursday against the University of Kansas City, pushing USI’s unbeaten streak to three matches. Against a potent offense from the Roos, Grafton and Markland kept the match low scoring.
 
In the centerback position, Grafton won 70 percent of her defensive duels and 100 percent of aerial duels. Plus, Grafton had nine clearances, eight interceptions, three blocked shots, and a 70 percent distribution rate out of the back in a full 90 minutes against Kansas City.
 
Between the posts, Markland had another sensational performance in goal for USI last Thursday to get the road result to conclude the non-conference season. On her toes from the opening kickoff, Markland made a career-best nine saves. Markland was strong in facing 28 shots by the Roos, the most shot attempts the Screaming Eagles have seen this season.
 
On the season, Grafton has started every match and played every minute so far. Markland has also started all nine matches, posting a 1.27 GAA with 36 saves. She ranks second in the OVC in GAA and fifth in saves.

Grafton, Markland and the Eagles (1-5-3) open conference play in the OVC on Thursday against the University of Arkansas at Little Rock at 6 p.m. The match begins a two-game road swing this weekend to start conference play for USI, who will visit Tennessee Tech University on Sunday.

Both matchups this weekend can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+. Additional coverage links are on the USI Women’s Soccer schedule page on usiscreamingeagles.com.
