Holiday Used Cooking Oil Disposal Drive November 26

0

(EVANSVILLE, IN) – If a fried turkey is part of your Thanksgiving tradition, how will you dispose of the used cooking oil? It takes about 4 gallons of oil to fry a medium size turkey. If you do not plan to reuse the oil, do not pour it down the drain. Fats, oils, and grease from cooking can clog sewer pipes and cost homeowners hundreds of dollars to clean the sewer line on their property.

Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) is partnering with American Grease and Septic to host the second annual Holiday Used Cooking Oil Disposal Drive on Saturday, November 26. The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the parking lot next to the C.K. Newsome Community Center, 100 E. Walnut Street.

The Holiday Used Cooking Oil Disposal Drive provides a place for residential customers to properly dispose of used cooking oils and grease, such as canola oil, corn oil, lard, olive oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil, and meat drippings. No petroleum oil waste will be permitted. The service is free and limited to residential customers only.

To drop off used cooking oils, residents should enter the parking lot from behind the C.K. Newsome center on Elsas Avenue (see map below). The cooking oils and grease will be collected in barrels, and dumpsters will be available for residents to discard empty containers. Residents will exit the parking lot onto Walnut Street.

For more information about the used cooking oil disposal drive, contact EWSU Regulatory Compliance Coordinator Matt McBride at 812-436-7013 or email: mmcbride@ewsu.com.

“By recycling your used cooking oil and keeping fats, oils, and grease from entering the sewer system, you are keeping our streets and surrounding waterways clean from sewer overflows,” McBride said. “It’s that simple. EWSU appreciates your efforts.”

UE Is Just The Second Division I Program To Do This

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A unique fundraising initiative was unveiled by the University of Evansville athletics department to benefit the men’s and women’s basketball programs.

Teaming up with Pledge Per Win powered by CUE, the initiatives include a “Pledge Per Rebound” campaign for the UE men while the women’s portion is a “Pledge Per Forced Turnover”.  The Purple Aces are just the second Division I school to launch this type of campaign with CUE.

As a reference point, the Aces grabbed 813 rebounds last season.
  • Women’s Basketball
    • Pledge Per Forced Turnover is a way to remain invested in UE women’s basketball for the entirety of the season by pledging at little as $0.25 or as much as $5 per forced turnover.  Your donation amount is multiplied by the number of rebounds each game with donations going directly to enhance the overall experience for the student-athletes within the Aces’ Women’s Basketball program. As a reference point, the Aces forced 512 turnovers last season.

Total donations of $100 or more will count towards Purple Aces Club membership.  Additional sports will be added in the spring of 2023.  Please visit https://evansville.pledgeperwin.com/ for more information, and FAQs, and to support the Aces today.

Senior Day Set For UE Volleyball Team

Aces Welcome Indiana State

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Five University of Evansville volleyball players will take the floor for the final time in the regular season as Purple Aces when UE faces Indiana State on Tuesday night at Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Starting at 6 p.m., Senior Day will recognize Hannah Watkins, Laura Ruiz, Chloe Bontrager, Alondra Vazquez, and Kate Tsironis.  The pivotal home contest has major MVC Championship implications.  The Aces have the chance to finish as high as a fourth place with a win and a Southern Illinois loss on Tuesday.

Giulia Cardona enters the match with a season total of 484 kills.  She is just 10 away from Alondra Vazquez’s single-season program record which was set last season.  Cardona recorded 19 kills on Saturday against Belmont after finishing Friday’s match versus Murray State with 20.

UE won its 10th MVC contest on Saturday to clinch just its second winning season since joining the league in 1994.  In 2000, the Aces went 10-8 in conference play while earning a 3-1 win over Creighton in the opening round of the championship.  A win over the Sycamores would clinch the highest number of MVC wins in a season for UE.

Healthy Minds, Healthy Lives Mental Health Workshops now accepting registrations

0

INDIANAPOLIS (Nov. 14, 2022) — To observe National Rural Health Day this week (Nov. 17), Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), along with the Indiana Rural Health Association (IRHA), are announcing three new mental health initiatives geared towards farmers and those in the agricultural community.

Titled Healthy Minds, Healthy Lives, these initiatives include community workshops, virtual suicide prevention trainings and one-hour sessions for agribusinesses covering mental health stigmas and the resources available to help those in need. Each event is free of charge.

“First, these initiatives will increase basic awareness of existing mental health resources in the agricultural community,” Crouch said. “They will also help identify stressors, reduce the stigma and better recognize mental health needs within the farming industry. And by making them free and open to anyone, I am hopeful that several rural Hoosiers will attend and learn how to help themselves and one another.”

ISDA will be working with the IRHA to help those who live and work in agriculture become more comfortable speaking about mental health care options by holding free, regional community workshops across Indiana. Conversations about mental health stigma and resources, as well as recognizing signs of those in mental health distress, will be discussed.

“Indiana is a very rural state with lots of farming and agricultural bases in many towns and cities. These workshops, agribusiness sessions and suicide prevention trainings will work to provide these communities the tools they need to recognize stress, related mental health issues and mental health crises that unfortunately can lead to suicide attempts,” said Kathy Walker, Program Director, Indiana Rural Heath Association. “It is critically important that we reach our farmers, farm families, agribusinesses and those providing services to the agricultural community.”

Community workshops and online suicide prevention trainings are open to anyone wanting to learn more about mental health in agriculture including, but not limited to, farmers, farming families, agribusinesses, loan officers, religious leaders, rural health care workers and more.

IRHA is currently hosting: 

 Three regional community workshops:

Three virtual online suicide prevention trainings, titled Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR):

One-hour agribusiness-focused sessions include:

  • Educational sessions where an agribusiness or organization can host the IRHA  to present to their staff, board members or rural community members on mental health services and stigmas surrounding agriculture.
  • These sessions can be stand alone services or in conjunction with an already scheduled meeting. To schedule a one-hour educational training for your employees, board members or others, contact Kathy Walker at kwalker@indianarha.org.

“A few of these community workshops were held last year, and we are excited to get them up and running again, alongside new programming as well,” said Bruce Kettler, ISDA director. “Agribusiness’ run incredibly important and stressful operations all year long. Hoosiers and millions worldwide wouldn’t eat without their commitment to raising animals and growing crops. I am hopeful these workshops, online trainings and meetings can help reduce the stigmas surrounding mental health and show rural community members that there is help available.”

Cara Veale, CEO of IRHA, is looking forward to the increased community opportunities within the Healthy Minds, Healthy Lives programming. 

“We at the Indiana Rural Health Association are thrilled to be partnering with the Indiana State Department of Agriculture to provide a great program and resource for farmers and farm families. We understand the importance of healthy minds and want to be sure we support our Indiana farmers and their families by educating them about available resources and ways they can ensure positive mental health.”

Last year, the ISDA received a $500,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute for Food and Agriculture’s (NIFA) Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network(FRSAN) Program. A portion of the funding was provided to the Indiana Rural Health Association(IRHA) to reduce mental health stigma and connect individuals to resources.
