Vanderburgh County Health Department News Release

0

The Resource and Awareness Task Force will conduct a second neighborhood drive up testing site this Thursday July 16th at 4100 Covert Ave.  This is the location of the former Health South Rehab Hospital and will be conducted in the facility parking lot.  The hours of the testing will occur from 5pm to 7pm.   

The Task Force is working with City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County leadership, both St. Vincent and Deaconess Hospitals, Pigeon and Knight Township Trustees, local EMA, the Sheriff’s Office, Evansville Police Department, Scott Township Emergency Response, and other local community leaders to provide this neighborhood testing to some of our most at risk populations.

Details for the testing site are listed below:

  • Testing is for any and all Evansville/Vanderburgh County residents.
  • No appointments will be required.  Individuals will be tested on a first come first serve basis.
  • There will be no restrictions on receiving a test, such as being symptomatic.
  • Testing will be free of charge, but if individuals have insurance they will be asked to provide their insurance information for billing purposes.
  • All those who come to receive a test will be asked to wear a facial covering until they are tested.  If residents don’t have facial coverings they will be provided one.
  • Individuals will be asked for basic personal information so results can be provided and follow up case management can occur if positive results are determined.
  • Children under the age of 18 may also be tested with consent from a parent or guardian.
  • Those who are unable to drive to the testing site can walk up to receive a test.  These individuals will also be asked to wear a face covering before they receive a test, and be provided a face covering if they do not have one.

The Task Force asks the media to respect the privacy of these individuals and not capture their faces on camera.  Future neighborhood testing sites are being planned and will be communicated to the public as soon as final details are available.

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” July 15, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

0

On Tuesday, June 13, 2020, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force received information from the Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force (CRFTF) that a person wanted for the shooting death of two female victims in Berkeley County, South Carolina may be in the Evansville area.

The CRFTF advised that Damayjohn Gadson had family ties in the area, prompting the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task to force set up surveillance on several areas on the Southeast side of Evansville. After conducting surveillance in the area of Washington Avenue and Weinbach Avenue, a task force officer observed a male matching Gadson’s description exit a pizza establishment and walk south in the 1100 block of S. Lincoln Park Drive. The subject was stopped by task force officers and was identified as Damayjohn Gadson.

Gadson was arrested without incident and lodged in the Vanderburgh County Jail where he will await extradition back to South Carolina.

The following agencies were involved in the apprehension: Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana State Police, Evansville Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Damayjohn Quintez Gadson, 19, of Utahville, SC.

Presumption of Innocence Notice: The fact that a person has been arrested or charged with a crime is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.

EPA Announces $6 Billion in New Funding for Water Infrastructure Projects

0

Funding availability builds on 24 WIFIA loans issued under President Trump financing nearly $12 billion in water infrastructure and creating 25,000 jobs

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the 2020 notice of funding availability under its Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) program, including funding for the new State infrastructure financing authority WIFIA (SWIFIA) program. These funding programs accelerate investment in critical water infrastructure through innovative and flexible financing that can support diverse projects in both large and small communities. This year’s funding will provide up to $6 billion to support $12 billion in water infrastructure projects while creating more than 35,000 jobs and improving public health and environmental protection in communities across the country.

“EPA’s WIFIA loan program has become one of the most effective tools used in President Trump’s efforts to upgrade our nation’s infrastructure, create jobs and safeguard public health and the environment,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “This new round of $6 billion in funding comes in time to help communities that are trying to recover from the health and financial stress of the COVID-19 pandemic and, for the first time, includes funding expressly available to states.”

To date, EPA has issued 24 WIFIA loans totaling $5.3 billion in credit assistance to help finance $11.7 billion for water infrastructure projects while creating 25,000 jobs—including eight WIFIA loans closed and one refinanced from March 2020 through June 2020. These recent loan closings will save ratepayers over $1 billion compared to typical bond financing while supporting the financial health of vital water systems. This financial support came at a critical time as the federal government, EPA and the water sector worked together to help mitigate the public health and financial impacts of COVID-19.

This announcement marks the fourth round of WIFIA funding. This year’s notice of funding availability prioritizes construction-ready projects in three areas: updating aging infrastructure; reducing exposure to lead and addressing emerging contaminants; and water reuse and recycling. The 2020 notice of funding availability builds upon the existing, active pipeline of WIFIA projects, which includes 49 projects in 19 states and D.C. For the first time, the agency will evaluate submitted projects using additional criteria that were developed to help clarify project and federal budgetary considerations. EPA will accept letters of interest from prospective WIFIA borrowers for 90 days after publication in the Federal Register.

EPA is also, for the first time, providing funds under SWIFIA. This new program, which was authorized by Congress as part of the America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018, offers low-interest loans to state water infrastructure programs (e.g., the State Revolving Funds) that then help finance needed water infrastructure projects in local communities. This round of funding will provide SWIFIA borrowers up to $1 billion to support $2 billion in water infrastructure projects. EPA will accept letters of interest from state water infrastructure programs for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
