USI’S Gatling Recognized as “Top 20 Women in Business”

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball Assistant Coach Randa Gatling ’99 has been selected as one of the “Top 20 Women in Business” Class of 2021, which is presented by the Junior League of Evansville and sponsored by News 4 U and Legence Bank.

Nominees for this honor were selected from a large pool and must be 18 years old or over and live or work in Warrick, Gibson, Vanderburgh, Posey, Pike, Dubois, Spencer, Union, Webster, McLean or Davies counties. The nominees were then rated based on the following criteria: Demonstration of volunteerism in the community, innovation in her profession, mentors others within her profession and contributes to her business community.

Gatling was selected based on those qualities as she has been an “innovative servant leader and makes the Tri-State area a better community.”

“Randa is very deserving of this honor,” USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall said. “She cares deeply about this community, our wonderful institution and treats people of all different backgrounds the same way, with compassion. I am happy to be associated with her and am excited that she is receiving this recognition.”

USI Women’s Basketball Head Coach Rick Stein said “words can’t describe how proud we are of her and just how deserving she is of this award. She has been a true leader on our campus and in the Evansville community for years and has poured her heart and soul into USI, USI Women’s Basketball and into her hometown of Evansville, Indiana!

“When Randa was a player, she was always first in line to volunteer on campus and in the community,” Stein continued. “She has carried that over into her professional life and has made sure that our team is always first in line to help others whenever possible. She has spent the last 22 years helping prepare all of our young women to succeed in whatever path they choose after USI.”

One of the top assistant coaches in Division II and the longest tenured assistant women’s basketball coach in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, Gatling is entering her 23rd season on the Screaming Eagles’ sideline.

Her work on the bench during the previous 22 seasons has paid off in the form of seven NCAA II Tournament appearances along with a regional championship, a GLVC regular-season championship and two GLVC Tournament titles. Gatling also has had a hand in the recruitment and development of three All-Americans, an Academic All-American, seven All-Region honorees and 25 All-GLVC performers.

Gatling has been a major part of USI’s success throughout the years, both as a player and as a coach. She has been a part of 488 victories, 388 as a coach and 100 as a player. In addition, Gatling has been a part of 11 NCAA II Tournament teams, two NCAA II Elite Eight squads, and five GLVC championship teams.

During her playing days at USI, Gatling was a member of the 1997 NCAA Division II national finalist team, which was inducted into the USI Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012. Her play helped the Eagles to NCAA II Tournament appearances in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 as well as GLVC championships in 1995, 1997, and 1998. She was the team captain in 1997-98.

The Eagles were a dominating 100-16 (.862), including an amazing 67-9 (.881) in the GLVC, during Gatling’s four years in an Eagle uniform.

Gatling will be honored by the Junior League of Evansville during the Women’s Conference’s Luncheon November 4 at the Old National Event Plaza.

Yesteryear: The D-Patrick Legacy Reaches All The Way Back To 1934

0

The D-Patrick legacy reaches all the way back to 1934 when Joseph E. O’Daniel partnered with George Ranes Sr. to form O’Daniel-Ranes Oldsmobile in downtown Evansville, Indiana. With the expansion in mind, the O’Daniel family grew its business within Evansville, and to other cities such as Omaha, NE, Louisville, KY, Bloomington, IN, and Fort Wayne, IN.  Dealerships in both Fort Wayne and Omaha are still owned and operated by members of the O’Daniel family.

In 1964, Joe O’Daniel’s son, D. Patrick O’Daniel, joined the family business at the Key Ford dealership in downtown Evansville. He began his career as the company’s Chief Accountant and was later promoted to General Manager of the Ford Dealership, before purchasing his own dealership in 1971.
The new company, called D-Patrick, Inc., sold and serviced Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz vehicles on Green River Road on Evansville’s east side. D. Patrick later purchased Key Ford Honda, moving it to Green River Road before adding BMW, Porsche, and Audi to the Green River Road location. D-Patrick eventually purchased O’Daniel-Ranes Oldsmobile Nissan. The Nissan dealership was moved to the Green River Road location. General Motors later discontinued the Oldsmobile brand.
In 1987, D. Patrick’s son, Mike O’Daniel, joined D-Patrick. Two years later, D. Patrick’s son-in-law, Ray Farabaugh, joined D-Patrick. In 1998, after completing the NADA dealer candidate program and filling multiple management roles within the dealership, Mike O’Daniel and Ray Farabaugh purchased D-Patrick, Inc.
D-Patrick has since added the Lincoln franchise to the downtown Ford dealership and moved the Honda dealership to the Division Street Auto Plaza. The Ford dealership in Boonville was also purchased as well as the expansion of the D-Patrick Body Shop and Glass business to be one of the largest in the Evansville Area. In 2014 D-Patrick Nissan moved from its’ Green River Road home of 20 years to a brand new completely green-built facility with over 400 vehicles and 16 state of the art service bays.
D-Patrick, Inc. employs the finest dealership staff, offers the best service and sales experience, maintains the greatest selection of new and used vehicles, and offers the best deals in the tri-state area. The D-Patrick service, body, and glass shops offer the highest quality repairs available anywhere. We provide our factory-trained master technicians with the latest technology and diagnostic equipment to ensure your vehicle is completed in a timely manner and repaired correctly…the first time.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Health announced today that 4,822 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at state and private laboratories. That brings to 863,299 the number of Indiana residents now known to have had the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s dashboard.

To date, 14,078 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, which includes 29 newly reported deaths that occurred between Aug. 19 and Aug. 31. Another 442 probable deaths have been reported to date based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record.

A total of 3,932,278 unique individuals have been tested in Indiana, up from 3,920,087 on Tuesday. A total of 12,336,129 tests, including repeat tests for unique individuals, have been reported to the state Department of Health since Feb. 26, 2020.

To find testing sites around the state, visit www.coronavirus.in.gov and click on the COVID-19 testing information link. Clinics are being added regularly around the state.

Hoosiers age 12 and older can receive a COVID-19 vaccine; individuals younger than age 18 are eligible for the Pfizer vaccine only.

New COVID-19 Guidelines Will Attempt To Slow Delta’s Surge

New COVID-19 Guidelines Will Attempt To Slow Delta’s Surge

September 6, 2021  

By Claire Castillo

TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—Indiana hospitals are becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the surge of COVID-19 delta variant cases, moving the governor to release a new set of guidelines Wednesday.

As of Sept. 1, there were 4,735 new COVID-19 cases in the state, a daily average of 4,192. Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 1, there were more than 22,000 hospitalizations and 1,311 ICU admissions due to the virus.

In this photo from last year, Gov. Eric Holcomb urges Hoosiers to mask up to avoid spreading COVID-19. This week he said he will not call for another statewide mask mandate. TheStatehouseFile.com.

According to The New York Times COVID-19 map, there have been 101,343 hospitalizations around the United States in the month of August alone. This is also the first time since January that hospitalizations have reached over 100,000 COVID-19 patients.

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed Executive Order 21-24 Wednesday, just days after extending his state of emergency order to Sept. 30, hoping new guidelines on combating the spread of the delta variant will help lower hospitalizations. The guidelines include the following provisions:

  • Health-care providers will decide based on hospitalization and staffing levels at their facilities whether to delay non-emergency procedures.
  • Hospitals must report any information about diversion, which is when hospitals reroute patients to other facilities due to overcrowding or understaffing, to the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) to help with monitoring resources and capacity across the state.

For its part, IDOH will adjust some of its procedures:

  • It will extend prior authorizations for non-emergency procedures that are postponed due to COVID-19 or related staffing issues.
  • It will direct insurers to enable hospitals to expedite the process of transporting patients out of hospital care to the next appropriate setting.
  • It will issue a “COVID-19 control measure.” This measure will allow schools and daycares to modify their quarantine protocols if they meet certain criteria. For example, schools and daycares mandating face coverings will not be required to quarantine students, teachers and other staff members who are in close contact with a positive case.

According to WFYI, between July and August, the number of children under 18 in Indiana testing positive for COVID-19 rose over 600%.

Holcomb’s executive order will expire Sept. 30. At a press conference this week addressing the Afghan refugees coming to Camp Atterbury, Holcomb was pressed by reporters about whether he would call for another mask mandate; his answer was no. He again urged all Indiana residents to be vaccinated as the most important step toward ending the pandemic.

State Democrats have been calling for more regular COVID-19 updates from the governor.

“Democrats are asking Hoosiers to take action and demand Holcomb hold a much-needed press briefing because it’s become very clear their governor is failing to provide the solutions needed to solve the most pressing problem facing Indiana and its families: COVID-19,” said Drew Anderson, spokesman for the Indiana Democratic Party, in a statement.

UE School of Education Reaches $1 Million in Grants Since 2017

UE School of Education Reaches $1 Million in Grants Since 2017

September 6, 2021

The University of Evansville (UE) School of Education was recently awarded a $110,000 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) grant from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE). This is the third STEM grant the School of Education has received from the CHE. With these funds, UE has now received over $1 million in grants for the School of Education since 2017.

The recent $110,000 grant will be used to fund full-tuition scholarships for students in the Transition to Teaching program who are entering STEM fields, such as math, science, and computer science. Transition to Teaching is an accelerated, 17-credit education program that prepares students to pursue licensure in teaching. During their time in the program, students will receive teaching placements in local schools and are paired with a mentor teacher and University supervisor for constant support.

The grant will also provide STEM professional development opportunities for current students in elementary and secondary education majors, as well as UE alums and teachers within the region. Additionally, a mentoring program for graduates teaching in STEM fields will be continued and funded.

The School of Education will continue to implement a Project Lead the Way program for undergraduate elementary education majors. Project Lead the Way is an American organization that develops and provides STEM curricula to create engaging classroom environments. Through this program, students will be equipped with the knowledge, training, and support to incorporate these in-demand skills into their future classrooms.

“We are thrilled that this grant will bring even more STEM training and opportunities to our students,” said Sharon Gieselmann, PhD, who serves as chair for the UE School of Education. “The teaching shortage in these fields continues to rise as the demand for these skills continues to grow. This grant is going to have a dual purpose. It will equip our students for teaching STEM in the classroom, but it will also give K-12 students a greater understanding of these areas as they think about their own future aspirations.”

In addition to the three STEM grants from the CHE, the School of Education also received a $735,000 grant in 2020 from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) fund. The initiative of this grant was to improve distance learning techniques in the classroom. Since receiving the funds, the School of Education has been offering a free community tutoring program as well as professional development opportunities for current students and local teachers to improve student outcomes.
