ASCENSION ST. VINCENT TO OFFER FREE COLON SCREENINGS IN MONTH OF APRIL

ASCENSION ST. VINCENT TO OFFER FREE COLON SCREENINGS IN MONTH OF APRIL 

For April, Ascension St. Vincent will be offering free colon cancer screenings to Evansville residents. The kits are an at-home, stool-based screening and are available to adults ages 45-75.
Evansville native Christy Bayer knows all too well how important colon cancer screening is. In 2015, Bayer was diagnosed with colon cancer after experiencing blood in the stool, lethargy, and pain.
Following her diagnosis, Bayer had surgery to remove cancer and 12 rounds of chemo. Two years later, cancer was found in her abdominal wall. They believed this to have originated in her colon. After surgery, radiation, and other recurrences, Christy is finally cancer-free today. She urges everyone to take their health seriously and keep up on regular screenings.
Colorectal cancer is highly preventable. If detected early, it is one of the most curable forms of cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screening at age 45 through 75.
Those who would like to take advantage of the free screening can do so by calling 812-485-4308 between April 1-30.
Footnote: Christy and her physician, Dr. Sheri Ziegler, an oncologist at Ascension St. Vincent Evansville, are available for interviews to share more about this story and the importance of colon cancer screenings. Please reply to set up a time.

Aces and Panthers set for 3-game series

Following a 15-game homestand that saw the University of Evansville softball team go 11-4 overall and 5-1 against Missouri Valley Conference opposition, the Purple Aces take to the road this weekend for a 3-game set at UNI.  Play gets underway on Friday with a noon doubleheader before an 11 a.m. contest on Saturday at Robinson-Dresser Sports Complex in Cedar Falls…ESPN3 will carry all three contests.

 

Last Time Out

– Taking on Valparaiso last weekend, UE earned its first 3-game MVC sweep since 2019 to improve to 5-1 through its first six conference games…that is the best start since 2002 when the Aces recorded an identical mark through six games

– Eryn Gould and Jessica Fehr each batted over .500 in the series while Marah Wood hit a pair of home runs on her way to being named the league’s Newcomer of the Week…Izzy Vetter threw 14 innings against Valpo and struck out 21 batters

– On Tuesday, Evansville faced UT Martin in a midweek contests…the Skyhawks took a 4-0 lead entering the bottom of the sixth before the Aces scored a pair in the bottom of the frame to get within two…UTM added two more in the seventh on their way to a 6-2 win

– Winning 17 of its first 25 games, the Aces are off to their best overall start since the 2008 campaign

 

Reaching Base

– Senior Eryn Gould continues to reach base by any means possible and is currently 19th in the nation and tops in the MVC, reaching base 58.5% of the time in 2021

– Over her last seven games, Gould has taken her game to an even higher level, reaching base in 21 of her last 26 plate appearances (80.7%)

– Gould was named the MVC Player of the Week on March 22 after reaching base 83.3% of the time versus Loyola while hitting a pair of home runs

– Her .441 batting average and 25 RBI are each second in the conference while her total of 30 hits and 24 runs scored are both tied for second

 

Make it 3

– For the third time this season, Marah Wood garnered MVC Newcomer of the Week accolades on March 29 after batting .417 and hitting two home runs in a 4-0 week for the Aces

– Since going 0-4 in the MVC opener against Loyola, Wood has rebounded, going 9-for-21 from the plate over the last 7 games and has two home runs and five RBI

– For the season, she leads the squad with seven homers while sitting second with a .365 average, 21 RBI and 16 runs scored

 

Highway Robbery

– Averaging 2.44 steals per game, the Aces rank 8th in the NCAA and are tops among Valley schools…UE has four players currently ranked in the top 150 nationally in steals per game (Adams, Hood, Gould, Fain)

– Hannah Hood leads the team with 12 steals in 12 attempts while Mea Adams is right behind, going 11-for-11…the duo rank third and fourth in the league, respectively

EPA Announces Public Listening Sessions and Roundtables on the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions

0

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced upcoming public listening sessions and roundtables to ensure that communities and stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their perspectives to the agency on protections from lead in drinking water. The impact of lead exposure, including through drinking water, is a public health issue of paramount importance and its adverse effects on children and public health are serious and well known. The goal of public engagement is to obtain further input on EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), including from individuals and communities that are most at-risk of exposure to lead in drinking water.

“Lower income communities and communities of color are often disproportionately exposed to lead, which can cause life-long negative effects,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Today, we are inviting these communities and other stakeholders to share their perspectives so that EPA can ensure that its review of the revised Lead and Copper Rule is grounded in their lived experience.”

Virtual public listening sessions will be held on April 28, 2021, and May 5, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., eastern daylight time. Those interested in speaking can sign up for a 3-minute speaking slot on EPA’s website at: www.epa.gov/safewater.

During this event, registered members of the public will be provided the opportunity to share their thoughts and concerns about the impact of lead in their community as it relates to the LCRR with EPA senior officials and managers.

EPA will then host community-focused virtual roundtables, starting in May of 2021. The roundtables will facilitate discussion of their unique perspectives on LCRR-related topics among EPA and local organizations including but not limited to, local government entities, public water utilities, community-organized groups, environmental groups and elected officials.

Starting in June of 2021, EPA will also host virtual roundtables with other important stakeholder groups, including drinking water utilities, intergovernmental associations, environmental organizations, environmental justice organizations, public health organizations, and consumer associations. These stakeholder roundtables will allow representatives of national organizations to discuss LCRR-related topics and provide their national perspective to the Agency. Finally, EPA also intends to host a national co-regulator meeting with primacy agencies (e.g., states, tribes, and territories) in July 2021 to discuss the feedback received from communities and stakeholders.

EPA requests that communities or organizations that would like to be considered for a community-focused or stakeholder roundtable submit a nomination letter to the Agency not later than April 23, 2021.

ADOPT A PET

Sebastian is a gorgeous 7-year-old male! He’s pretty large, at 70 lbs., but is actually very gentle on a leash. A gentle giant if you will. Even though he’s naturally strong, he doesn’t tend to pull. He was transferred to VHS from an Arkansas shelter through a Best Friends Animal Society transport. He is also heartworm-positive, but VHS will provide his treatment at no additional cost to his adopters! Sebastian’s adoption fee is $150 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines, and more.
