Indiana State Police Partners With DEA For 23rd Drug Take Back Day

0

On Saturday, October 29, 2022, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the 23rd nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative.  The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs.

Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment.  This program is for liquid and pill medications.  Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be taken.  Needles, new or used, WILL NOT be accepted for disposal.  This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—pose both potential safety and health hazards.

Once again, the Indiana State Police is pleased to partner with the DEA, and as in the past, unwanted medications may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except for the Lowell and Toll Road Posts.  The event will be on Saturday, October 29, 2022, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

The Indiana State Police Post in Putnamville will have their collection on Friday, October 28, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

To locate the State Police Post closest to your home or business, click this link for Indiana State Police on the Map. To find other locations in Indiana or across the U.S. that are participating in the Drug Take Back initiative, click this link to the DEA.

The Drug Take Back events are the safe, popular and responsible way for the public to legally dispose of prescription drugs with no questions asked.

0

WASHINGTON – the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $3,169,239 in funding to eight small businesses to further develop and commercialize their environmental technologies, delivering economic and environmental benefits to the communities they serve. Awarded projects include an air purifier that reduces the risk of transmitting viruses and bacteria, a forecasting tool that reduces unwanted pesticide drift, software technologies for improved recycling, and a process for producing a sustainable low- carbon building material.

“Addressing our most pressing environmental and public health problems requires innovation and creative thinking from all sectors,” said Chris Frey, Assistant Administrator of EPA’s Office of Research and Development. “I am excited to see how these small businesses leverage this investment from EPA to bring their promising technologies to the marketplace.”

EPA issues an annual Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) solicitation for technology proposals for specific high priority environmental topics. Proposals are evaluated on their technical merit, potential for commercialization and impact in the given topic area. These companies have already received Phase I contracts from EPA of up to $100,000 for 6 months to prove the concept for their proposed technology. The companies announced today are receiving Phase II awards of up to $400,000 to further develop and commercialize the technologies.

The following small businesses are receiving SBIR Phase II awards:

  • CleanRobotics, Inc. (Longmont, Colo.) – To develop an artificial intelligence-powered trash system for sorting and auditing waste at disposal.
  • Geometric Data Analytics (Durham, N.C.) – To develop a web-based application that uses mathematical and statistical techniques to provide highly localized and accurate forecasts to mitigate pesticide drift.
  • Kebotix, Inc. (Cambridge, Mass.) – To develop an artificial intelligence platform to develop polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-free pigments.
  • KLAW Industries LLC (Binghamton, N.Y.) – To develop a novel process to reuse wasted glass in high performance, low-carbon concrete.

Eagles gearing up for OVC Championship run

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Men’s and Women’s Cross Country have their sights set on a new price this Saturday when the Screaming Eagles compete for the first time at the Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championships in Cookeville, Tennessee.
 
The women’s six-kilometer race begins at 10 a.m., while the men’s 8K is scheduled for 11 a.m.
 
USI is expected to be one of the top contenders to dethrone two-time defending OVC champion Eastern Illinois University Saturday but will need a complete team effort to do so. In two previous encounters this season, the Panthers have scored wins over the Eagles, using wide gaps at the No. 3 and No. 5 positions to distance themselves from USI in each race.
 
Senior Noah Hufnagel (Santa Claus, Indiana) and EIU’s Dustin Hatfield will be the leading contenders to capture the individual crowns, while junior Mitchell Hopf (Santa Claus, Indiana) also could challenge for a top-five finish.
 
USI’s men are looking to continue the success they had as members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference in Division II. The Eagles captured a record 27 GLVC titles during their 43 years in Division II, including a GLVC-best 15 straight from 2005-19.
 
The women’s squad, who also dominated the GLVC, are trying to make history Saturday by becoming the first program in school history to capture a Division I conference title. The Eagles won the GLVC title for a record 14th time in 2021 and left the GLVC having won 11 conference championships in 14 years, including seven straight from 2011-17.
 
USI’s women figure to be among the favorites to win the conference championship Saturday as it has gone undefeated against OVC competition in each of the major races it has competed in this season.
 
Belmont University, now in the Missouri Valley Conference, won the OVC title in 2021, while this year’s host, Tennessee Tech University, and Eastern Illinois finished second and third, respectively. USI has posted narrow victories over both schools this season, while the Eagles turned out a 53-point win over EIU at the Bradley “Pink” Classic two weeks ago.
 
Juniors Lauren Greiwe (West Harrison, Indiana) and McKenna Cavanaugh (New Albany, Indiana) also could be among the favorites to win the individual conference title after both earned OVC Runner of the Week accolades throughout the season.
 
Saturday’s races will take place at the Putnam County Sports Complex in Cookeville, Tennessee. Live results can be accessed at USIScreamingEagles.com or at OVCsports.com.

IUSD Athletes Combine for Four Big Ten Weekly Awards

0

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Following strong team and individual performances against No. 2/3 Texas and No. 14/22 Texas A&M, Indiana swimming and diving athletes, two men and two women, totaled four Big Ten weekly awards, the conference announced on Wednesday (Oct. 26).

Sophomores Quinn Henninger and Anna Peplowski and freshman Kristina Paegle each earned their first-career Big Ten weekly awards, while senior Brendan Burns collected his sixth.

The men’s and women’s teams each tallied wins against Texas A&M, and the men nearly pulled off the upset of last year’s NCAA runner-up Texas, falling 155-145.

Men’s Swimmer of the Week: Brendan Burns

 Senior Brendan Burns won all three individual events he swam which included a sweep of the butterfly events. The defending NCAA Champion in the 200-yard butterfly won the race by nearly a second and set the nation’s current fastest time in the event this season, going 1:42.24. In the 100-yard event, Burns went the sixth-fastest time this season after touching in 46.52.

Burns won a thrilling duel in the 200-yard backstroke, defeating UT’s Carson Foster who finished as the runner-up at the national meet last season. After trailing Foster through the first 100 yards, Burns finished strong to out-touch his opponent by .19 seconds. His 1:41.16 mark ranks No. 2 in the nation this season.

Burns also tied for the fastest leadoff leg in the 200-yard medley relay, going 22.03 for a 50-yard backstroke split.

 Men’s Diver of the Week: Quinn Henninger

 Sophomore Quinn Henninger swept the diving events against a tough field. Henninger dominated on the 1-meter springboard, scoring 368.90 – 47.20 points better than the runner-up. On the 3-meter board, Henninger clinched the win with his final dive, earning 75.25 points for a 5337D. Henninger won the event by 3.05 points, totaling a 401.85-point finish.

Henninger has won three of four events this season, setting NCAA zone qualifying marks in both.

 Women’s Swimmer of the Week: Anna Peplowski

 Sophomore Anna Peplowski earned three wins and swept the backstroke events for a second straight meet. In the 100 back, Peplowski won a close battle over UT’s Emma Sticklen, 53.37 to 53.42. She won big in the 200-yard race, winning by about 2.5 seconds with a time of 1:55.97.

Peplowski was also fantastic in relays, helping IU to a first-place finish in the 400-yard freestyle relay and third place in the 200 medley relay. In the latter, Peplowski’s 25.09 backstroke split was the fastest in the field.

 Women’s Freshman of the Week: Kristina Paegle

 Freshman Kristina Paegle earned top-four finishes in all four events she swam on Saturday which included a victory in the 400 freestyle relay. In that win, Paegle swam IU’s fastest and the third-fastest overall split, going 49.60. The freshman also swam the fastest freestyle leg in IU’s third-place finish in the 200 medley relay.

Individually, Paegle narrowly missed an NCAA B cut in the 50-yard freestyle after touching in 22.73. She also placed fourth in the 100 free, going 50.09.
