EPA Recognizes Lead Poisoning Prevention Week 2020
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is recognizing National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW) from October 25 – 31, 2020. Held annually on the last week of October, NLPPW serves as a “call to action†aimed at bringing families, individuals, community-based organizations, state, tribal and local governments, and others together to protect current and future generations from exposure to lead.
“Lead poisoning is one of the most preventable health tragedies for children in this country, and the EPA under President Trump is committed to eliminating lead exposure across this nation,†said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “In 2020 EPA has awarded or announced nearly $49 million to remove lead in drinking water in schools and day cares, announced a final rule to cut the level of lead in new plumbing material, and proposed a rule to cut lead dust levels on windowsills and floors. Just last week, EPA selected 10 projects to receive funding under the WIIN Act’s Reduction in Lead Exposure via Drinking Water grant program, including selecting seven grantees to receive $22.8 million to reduce lead in schools and child care facilities.â€
Under the Trump Administration’s December 2018 Federal Action Plan to Reduce Childhood Lead Exposures and Associated Health Impacts (Action Plan), EPA committed to aggressively addressing lead issues by working with communities and partners to identify and eliminate lead exposure across the nation, especially for children who are the most vulnerable. For more information on the Action Plan, visit: https://www.epa.gov/lead/federal-action-plan-reduce-childhood-lead-exposure.
Through cross-governmental collaborations, public partnerships, rulemaking processes, enforcement actions, and targeted outreach, EPA has made tremendous gains to reduce lead exposure and associated harms throughout Fiscal Year 2020. Visit: https://www.epa.gov/leadactionplanimplementation to view EPA’s progress in implementing the Action Plan and stories of on-the-ground work being conducted nationwide. Below are a few notable highlights of EPA accomplishments to raise awareness of and reduce exposure to lead:
DECEMBER 2019
- EPA researchers co-led a cross-agency workshop on progress to “support and conduct critical research to inform efforts to reduce lead exposures and related health risks,†Goal 4 of the Action Plan. The workshop convened federal partners, including EPA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), who continue to work together to better protect children. Presentations featured EPA research in support of the updated Dust Lead Hazard Standard, Dust Lead Clearance Standard, Lead-Free Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule. The workshop furthered cross-federal agency collaborations, for example, adding HUD’s Deteriorating Paint Index to EPA’s approaches used to map, target, and reduce children’s exposure to lead.
FEBRUARY 2020
- Announced the availability of $39.9 million to reduce lead in drinking water under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act. For more information, visit: https://www.epa.gov/dwcapacity/wiin-grant-reduction-lead-exposure-drinking-water-under-sdwa-section-1459b.

This series of four modules provides lesson plans, worksheets, key messages, presentation slides, and kids’ activity sheets that tribes and community leaders can use to improve public awareness of the dangers associated with lead exposure and promote preventative actions to reduce childhood lead exposure. To view the curriculum, visit https://www.epa.gov/lead.
- EPA announced projects that were selected to receive nearly $40 million in grant funding under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN). These first-ever selections under the WIIN Act’s Reduction in Lead Exposure via Drinking Water grant will be used to assist disadvantaged communities and schools with removing sources of lead in drinking water. The selected grantees will conduct projects that will reduce lead exposure in drinking water by replacing thousands of lead service lines and removing potential sources of lead in hundreds of schools and childcare facilities across the United States. For more information visit: https://www.epa.gov/dwcapacity/wiin-grant-reduction-lead-exposure-drinking-water.
EPA continues to reduce exposures from lead in soils through removal, remedial, and corrective actions at contaminated sites. In fiscal year 2020, EPA completed 56 Superfund cleanup actions at sites where lead is a contaminant of concern. 21 of these actions were at remedial sites and 35 were under the removal program.

WEINZAPFEL CALLS FOR LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA TO SUPPORT CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORMS, PUBLIC EDUCATION
WEINZAPFEL CALLS FOR LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA TO SUPPORT CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORMS, PUBLIC EDUCATION
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – To better fund public education and improve the state’s criminal justice system, today Democratic nominee for Attorney General, Jonathan Weinzapfel, called for the legalization and regulation of marijuana for adults in Indiana.
Indiana is one of just 23 states where possession of even small amounts of cannabis could lead to jail time and it’s one of 17 states that prohibit its medicinal use. Indiana’s neighbors, Illinois and Michigan, have already legalized recreational usage and Ohio now permits medical marijuana.
“As Indiana works to come out of this pandemic stronger than before, legalizing cannabis for adults just makes sense,†said Weinzapfel. “Not only will it help bring in much-needed tax dollars, but it will also relieve unnecessary burdens on police and the court system while reducing jail overcrowding across the state. This will allow law enforcement agencies to focus on serious crimes and keeping our communities safe.
†In contrast to Weinzapfel’s position, his opponent, former Congressman Todd Rokita, supports locking Hoosiers up for possession of marijuana and opposes its medicinal use.
Since their laws went into effect, Michigan has already collected more than $35 million in new tax revenues from the sale of marijuana, while Illinois has collected more than $100 million. The Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy nonprofit, estimates that Indiana could generate upwards of $171 million annually from legalization.
“As Attorney General, I would work with the Indiana General Assembly to create a well-regulated system and advocate that tax dollar generated from the sale of recreational cannabis be directed towards public schools and giving teachers a raise,†said Weinzapfel, a former state legislator. “I also would push for a portion of those new dollars to be invested in supporting and improving public safety.
†Specifically, Weinzapfel, a former Mayor and the only candidate to lead a police department, is also calling for the following reforms:
◠Providing Body Cameras to Every Police Officer. Under Weinzapfel’s leadership as Mayor, Evansville became one of the state’s first cities to purchase body cameras for its police force. As Attorney General, Weinzapfel will work with the General Assembly to purchase body cameras for every police officer in Indiana.
â— Create State Use of Force Guidelines. As Attorney General, Weinzapfel will support efforts to ban the use of chokeholds and will work to establish common-sense use-of-force guidelines that under-resourced local law enforcement agencies can look to for guidance.
◠Protect Police Departments and Communities from Problem Officers. The overwhelming majority of officers are dedicated public servants and deserve the trust of the communities they serve. In an effort to keep officers who can’t follow standard operating procedures from moving from one department to the next, Weinzapfel will work with law enforcement agencies to develop a new protocol that would allow departments to know if an applicant has a history of complaints or disciplinary actions.
â— Improve Training for Law Enforcement. As Attorney General, Weinzapfel will advocate for increased funding for training of public safety officers, including de-escalation of violence techniques and awareness of signs of mental illness, and will support efforts to fund much-needed upgrades to the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Academy.
◠Create Drug Courts in Every County. To better address the state’s opioid epidemic, Weinzapfel will advocate for the creation of drug courts in every Indiana county. Approximately 55 circuits, superior, county, and city courts already exist. The courts focus on treatment and rehabilitation and keep non-violent offenders out of already overcrowded jails. With the COVID-19 pandemic leading to an increase in opioid use across the nation, Indiana must be prepared to proactively address this growing crisis.
◠Reduce Indiana’s Recidivism Rate. As a former Chancellor at Ivy Tech, Weinzapfel will use his higher education experience to help tackle Indiana’s recidivism epidemic. Currently, about 40 percent of incarcerated Hoosiers return to prison within three years. Those who participated in work release or education programs are nearly 40 percent less likely to return than those who do not. As Attorney General, Weinzapfel will assemble leaders from the state’s colleges and universities, state government, the business community, law enforcement and criminal justice advocates, as well as the non-profit sector, to develop a plan to bring more opportunities to those in prison so they are released with skills and job opportunities, thereby reducing the state’s high rate of reincarceration.
â— Create a Statewide Criminal Justice Roundtable. As Mayor, Weinzapfel created community roundtables to discuss important topics, including education and accessibility issues. As Attorney General, Weinzapfel will form a statewide roundtable on criminal justice reform to generate meaningful ideas and offer input to his office, the Indiana General Assembly, and the public on criminal justice challenges facing the state.
â— Use the Opioid Settlement Wisely. As Attorney General, Weinzapfel would be a leading voice in the multistate lawsuit with opioid manufacturers. Through the settlement agreement, Weinzapfel will work to ensure those dollars are spent on providing drug addiction rehabilitation services, combatting future drug abuse throughout the state, and funding mental health counseling and treatment.
“I look forward to working with leaders of both parties to advance this plan and better fund education and public safety,†said Weinzapfel. “We cannot remain stuck in the past, while the states around us are moving ahead. We can create a safe, well-regulated system here that will benefit our children, families, and communities for years to come. I’m committed to doing that as Indiana’s next Attorney General.
†Jonathan Weinzapfel was elected mayor of Evansville in 2003 and re-elected in 2007. After his two terms as mayor, Weinzapfel served as chancellor of the Ivy Tech Evansville campus from 2014-2019. He also served in the Indiana General Assembly as a state representative from 1999-2003. He currently works as a partner at the law firm of Jones Wallace in Evansville. Jonathan and his wife Patricia reside in Evansville and have three children.

AG Curtis Hill Appeals Federal Court Ruling That Suspended FDA Abortion Pill Requirements
Attorney General Curtis Hill this week appealed a district court’s preliminary injunction that temporarily prevents the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from enforcing certain requirements for mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortions.
The FDA requires that mifepristone be dispensed only in clinics, medical offices or hospitals. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) sued the FDA in May, arguing that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-person dispensing requirement violates both the due process and equal protection requirements of the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment. On behalf of Indiana and nine other states, Attorney General Hill sought to intervene in the case to aid in defense of the FDA requirement on the grounds that any ruling adverse to FDA could undermine similar state laws governing mifepristone.
A judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland denied the States’ request to intervene but granted ACOG’s request to enjoin the in-person dispensing requirement. Attorney General Hill has appealed both the intervention order and the preliminary injunction, arguing in a brief filed Monday that the district court wrongly ignored the States’ legitimate interests in the case, ignored evidence submitted by the States in support of the FDA requirement, and applied the wrong legal standard to ACOG’s claims.Â
The current risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) for mifepristone requires that the drug only be dispensed in certain health care settings and by only health care providers who are certified in the drug’s REMS program. Additionally, it requires that patients be informed about the risk of serious complications associated with mifepristone. Without these requirements, women may encounter an increased risk of dangerous complications from the drug, including hemorrhaging, infection and other injuries.
“These reasonable requirements, which have been in place for many years, are paramount in ensuring that women who seek medication abortions receive proper medical attention and are empowered with knowledge,†Attorney General Hill said. “Requiring that abortion drugs be dispensed only in person also helps deter coerced abortions and human trafficking,†he added.
“While the COVID-19 pandemic burdens many facets of life, it does not target abortion or reduce the need for proper safety protocols concerning abortion-inducing drugs,†Hill observed. “I will continue my efforts to keep Hoosier women safe, including those who may be coerced into abortion and those who are victims of human trafficking.â€
Indiana separately requires abortion providers to follow the FDA guidelines, including the requirement that providers dispense mifepristone only in person. The district court expressly concluded that Indiana’s enforcement of that law is unaffected by the injunction against FDA.
Construction Begins on CenterPoint Energy’s Solar Farm in Southwestern Indiana
Burns & McDonnell Delivering Utility’s First Turnkey Solar Project
After successfully completing the engineering phase earlier this year, Burns & McDonnell will begin the construction of a 50-megawatt (MW) universal solar array in Troy, Indiana, to service electric customers in CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana Electric territory. When combined with the utility’s 4 MWs of solar power already in service, the new solar farm, which is expected to be fully operational in early 2021, will generate enough electricity to power more than 12,000 households per year.
“The Troy solar farm is another important project in the continued evolution of our generation fleet as we add more renewable energy sources to our portfolio,†said Steve Greenley, Senior Vice President, Generation Development for CenterPoint Energy. “Burns & McDonnell has a long history of delivering projects on time and on budget, while working safely. We are collaborating with the firm’s integrated design and construction teams to bring universal solar energy to the southwestern Indiana communities we serve.â€
CenterPoint Energy’s newest solar array, which was approved by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission in 2018, will consist of approximately 150,000 solar panels distributed across 300 acres along Indiana State Road 545 between Troy and New Boston, Ind. Each panel will be mounted on a single-axis tracking system, enabling the panels to automatically shift to maximize energy generation as the sun’s rays move across the surface of the Earth. Once the project is substantially completed, Burns & McDonnell will provide commissioning and startup services before the new array goes online in 2021.
“Integrating our construction capabilities into our overall solar delivery offering enables us to leverage our extensive track record of successful utility-scale construction execution across multiple disciplines,†said Chad Cotter, Director of Solar EPC for Burns & McDonnell. “By providing skills and experience, along with dedicated resources, we are streamlining project delivery with parallel engineering, procurement and construction activities. The Troy installation will be among the largest single-sited solar farms in the Tri-State area and will support surrounding communities for decades to come.â€
The project is an important step in CenterPoint Energy’s goal to reduce its operational emissions by 70% by 2035. The company’s reduction goal is based on its 2005 emissions. With 4 MW of universal solar already in service in Vanderburgh County, the new installation will expand CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana electric solar production by more than 13 times its current capacity.
Burns & McDonnell is partnering with Indiana-based suppliers and contractors to assist with equipment procurement and on-site labor efforts. As one of the most prominent renewable resources in the state, the Troy installation signifies CenterPoint Energy’s first self-build solar project. CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana electric territory provides electric service to more than 144,000 customers in southwestern Indiana.
Burns & McDonnell ranks among the top 10 design firms in the U.S. and as the No. 1 firm in Power, according to Engineering News-Record (ENR). Additionally, the firm has been recognized by ENR among the top 10 design-build firms in the nation.
Sloane Standley highlights the reason why she’s running for County Clerk
Now is the time. There is one week remaining to make sure your voice is heard. Let’s talk about your vote, and then we can discuss my candidacy. Locally voting numbers are unprecedented in some places, and lagging in some wards. How do you figure into that equation? What have you done in 2020 that will cement your personal interest, your passions, your concerns, and your aspirations for the next four years as part of the official record? If no one of your ideological persuasion showed up to vote how would that affect the circumstances of the people you love? How would it affect you personally? If the last four years have been a testament to anything, it is that voting or the lack of has defined merits and consequences….depending on the view from your chosen side of the aisle. Either way, I think we can all agree that the impacts have been significant. This is why you must VOTE!
Those impacts have been a catalyst that led me to vote in-person on the very first day of early voting. The status of voting in Indiana was a parallel motivator that led me to step up and run for Vanderburgh County Clerk. When life is harmonious and easy, complacency can feel easy as well. It is when you bear witness to the sort of injustice that impinges on your sense of ethics, that the compunction begins to creep in. In Indiana, we already have one of the shortest election days of all fifty states at ‘twelve hours’. Concurrently, we are one of only four states that did not approve no-excuse absentee voting. Even more confusing has been the timeline for both absentee ballot postmark and receipt deadlines that have continued to flux as variant rulings bounce around appellate courts. As recently as two weeks ago, the expanded timeline for returning a mail-in the absentee ballot was rescinded. It must now once again arrive by noon on election day.
 For any County Clerk that should mean expanded and early communication, but that hasn’t been the result. The current office-holder in Vanderburgh County hasn’t posted to the News section of the Clerk’s website since mid-May and she hasn’t addressed the timeline changes in any capacity. Within her staff, there have been allegations of abuse. On September 17th Carla Hayden, Vanderburgh County Clerk admitted to hurling a bottle of soda in anger. Her Deputy Clerk, a county employee of nearly 25 years, quit the same day. This may be just the tip of the iceberg, and Vanderburgh County deserves far better.Â
I’m Sloane Standley, and I ask for your vote for Vanderburgh County Clerk. I hold a BA in Communication Studies. I am a Spanish/English bilingual. I have earned national awards for excellence in management and operations within the arena of a bargained environment. I am prepared and excited to lead. I have the experience and the education to bring honor back to the office, which I regard as an extension of the courts. My goals for the office include unencumbered fair access to the ballot box, sound management practice, development of staff, increased diversity in staffing, and regular communication with the community I serve.Â
We the people means all the people. I humbly ask for your vote in the next seven days, but no matter what, please make the time to go vote and do it early!!!
University of Evansville Alumnus Leads Efforts to Produce Face Shields for Healthcare Workers
A University of Evansville (UE) alumnus helps protect healthcare workers on the front lines in the battle against COVID-19.
Engineer Alex Mlsna ’96, PE (professional engineer), is a technical services manager in the Research and Development department of Kimball International, where he oversees progress on new projects, sustainability, automation, regulatory compliance, and other areas. For 70 years, the Jasper, Indiana-based company has created design-driven furnishings for the commercial office, hospitality, health, and education markets.
As the COVID-19 pandemic escalated this spring and many businesses were impacted by shelter in place orders, Kimball leveraged its core capabilities to produce new products. This included their Quickship for Care collection as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) for their employees and community healthcare providers.
“Our company instituted a work from home program for those that could do so,” Mlsna said. “For myself and the rest of the Research and Development team, with the technologies we were working with, we couldn’t take that home. Our first thought was ‘How can we help our communities?'”
A large portion of Mlsna’s work comes from 3D printing, a technology first used in the 1980s that has seen widespread adoption over the past decade. This method allows manufacturers to create virtually any three-dimensional object, with materials ranging from plastics to metal, resin, nylon, and much more.
“Kimball had the idea to use our printers to create plastic face shields for healthcare workers,” Mlsna said. “We found inspiration from creative designs for making these shields, and then we designed our own version and began printing custom designs that could be cleaned and reused easily. From there, we worked with partners across our sales network and other community contacts to get them in the hands of hospitals, school districts, and other healthcare providers.
Kimball produced some 15,000 face shields over the spring and summer months.
While 2020 has proven a challenging year across every industry imaginable, Mlsna credits his UE education as a key factor in his ability to adapt to the ever-changing situation. Mlsna represents a UE Changemaker – someone who desires positive change in the world and makes it happen.
The University of Evansville encourages and fosters the changemaking spirit in a variety of ways – encouraging students to look at the world around them and ask “What if?” UE encourages all students to be changemakers who seek out creative and effective ways to solve the problems they see in both the community and world, making it a better place for everyone
“Because of UE and my engineering degree, I was exposed to plenty of hands-on work,” Mlsna said. “My UE education taught me to embrace new technologies and take risks, as well as how to collaborate with a wide variety of groups to get the job done.”
The University of Evansville continues to carry out its mission of providing a healthy, safe, and welcoming campus learning environment for students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
