Indiana conservation program awarded $500,000

0

The Indiana Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) announced today it was awarded a grant totaling $500,000. This funding was provided from a legal settlement that was stewarded in part by the Indiana Wildlife Federation. These dollars will be used to increase the number of soil conservation practices in Indiana and improve water quality in watersheds located across the state.

CREP is a partnership between the United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. The program seeks to reduce pollution and improve water quality by creating buffers and wetlands that will reduce high nonpoint source pollution from sediment, nutrient, pesticide and herbicide losses from agricultural runoff into the targeted watersheds near the Wabash and White Rivers. Participants remove cropland from agricultural production and convert the land to native grasses, trees and other vegetation, which remain in place for at least 14 years. Installing buffer practices and wetlands can also enhance habitat for wildlife, including state and federally listed threatened and endangered species.

In the last several years, there has been a high interest by landowners and a tremendous amount of enrollments in the CREP program, which has resulted in demand exceeding available funding. This demand will continue to increase as participants continue to enroll land into the program. In order to cover this demand, ISDA applied for grant support in the amount of $500,000 from the American Electric Power Mitigation Money Fund, a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation. Additionally, this $500,000 support will leverage over $3.5 million of federal USDA dollars that will go to landowners to make improvements.

“This funding will go a long way in helping to implement conservation practices such as filter strips, wetland restorations and bottomland timber plantings which will reduce pollution and improve water quality,” said Julie Harrold, the ISDA CREP Program Manager.  “We are very grateful for this support toward the CREP program.”

Emily Wood, Executive Director of the Indiana Wildlife Federation, is thrilled to see more producers and land owners benefit from the CREP program.

“We were excited to award to the CREP program because it aligned so well with the goals of settlement and ISDA’s goals of targeting some of Indiana’s most impaired watersheds,” said Wood. “Supporting the CREP program incorporates long-term pollution reduction strategies, exceptional gains in wildlife habitat and the over-arching benefit of supporting our Hoosier farming communities.”

The funds provided come from American Electric Power (AEP), I&M’s parent company, under a legal settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, eight states and 13 citizens groups. The settlement included an agreement by AEP to invest $3.5 million to improve air quality and to reduce pollution in Indiana through various projects. The AEP settlement monies are being overseen by an oversight committee that includes Citizens Action Coalition, Clean Air Council and Indiana Wildlife Federation, with the Sierra Club as a non-voting member and Environmental Law & Policy Center as a non-voting legal advisor and facilitator.

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” June 9, 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.

EPA Celebrates 50 Years of Protecting Our Nation’s Air

0

Criteria air pollutant emissions – and their precursors – dropped 7 percent under President Trump

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its annual report on air quality, tracking the nation’s progress through 2019. “Our Nation’s Air – EPA Celebrates 50 Years!” documents remarkable improvements in air quality across America since 1970, and particularly over the last few years under President Trump.

“Under President Trump, Americans are breathing the cleanest air ever recorded,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Under President Trump, air pollution has declined seven percent. The Trump administration has shown that improvements in both public health and economic growth can take place at the same time.”

From 2017 to 2019, the combined emission of criteria pollutants and their precursors dropped 7%.

In the past three years under President Trump, we saw the following drops in emissions of criteria and precursor pollutants:

  • Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) ↓10 %
  • Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) ↓1 %
  • Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) ↓ 16%
  • Carbon monoxide (CO) ↓ 6%
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) ↓ 3%

Administrator Wheeler previewed the air trends report in Grand Rapids also noting that as a result of these falling emissions under President Trump, in 2019 we saw a significant improvement in air quality. From 2017 – 2019, the number of days listed as unhealthy for sensitive groups in the Air Quality Index dropped by 34 percent as the amount of criteria pollutants in our air continued to fall:

  • Carbon Monoxide 8-Hour ↓ 10%
  • Lead (Pb) 3-Month Average ↓ 28%
  • Nitrogen Dioxide Annual ↓ 4%
  • Nitrogen Dioxide 1-Hour ↓ 2%
  • Ozone 8-Hour ↓ 4%
  • Particulate Matter 10 microns 24-Hour ↓ 22%
  • Particulate Matter 2.5 microns Annual ↓ 7%
  • Particulate Matter 2.5 microns 24-Hour ↓ 12%
  • Sulfur Dioxide 1-Hour ↓ 10%

Between 1970 and 2019, the combined emissions of criteria and precursor pollutants dropped by 77%, while the U.S. economy grew 285%.

From 1990 to 2019, emissions of air pollutants continued to decline:

  • Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) ↓ 65%
  • Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) ↓ 36%
  • Particulate Matter 10, including lead (PM 10) ↓ 30%
  • Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) ↓ 91%
  • Carbon monoxide (CO) ↓ 69%
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) ↓ 47%

Driven largely by federal and state implementation of stationary and mobile source regulations, from 1990 to 2017 emissions of hazardous air pollutants dropped 74%.

These emission reductions have resulted in considerably improved air quality. Air quality monitoring data show that national average concentrations of harmful air pollutants decreased considerably across the nation between 1990 and 2019:

  • Ground-level ozone (8-hour) ↓ 25%
  • Fine Particulate Matter (annual) ↓ 43% (from 2000)
  • Coarse Particulate Matter (24-hour) ↓ 46%
  • Sulfur dioxide (1-hour) ↓ 90%
  • Nitrogen dioxide (annual) ↓ 59%
  • Lead (3-month average) ↓85% (from 2010)
  • Carbon monoxide (8-hour) ↓ 78%

The report includes interactive graphics that enable citizens, policymakers and stakeholders to view and download detailed information by pollutant, geographic location and year. Explore the report and download graphics and data here: https://gispub.epa.gov/air/trendsreport/2020/#home

USI grant project works to combat social isolation, strengthen geriatrics workforce

0

In an attempt to limit the spread of coronavirus, many older adults are physically-distanced from their family and friends due to stay-at-home orders and public health recommendations. According to research conducted at Brigham Young University, lack of social connection heightens health risks as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. A grant-funded project at the University of Southern Indiana is pivoting during the COVID-19 pandemic to reach out to potentially isolated older adults in order to continue to provide care and to help stay connected throughout the pandemic.

The Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), a five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), has focused on bridging the medical and social care provided to older adults through partnerships with Deaconess Clinic and with SWIRCA & More and Generations, two local Area Agencies on Aging (AAA).

As part of the GWEP, Ron Wells, a SWIRCA & More care coordinator, moved to an office at Deaconess Clinic in downtown Evansville in Fall 2019 to offer resources for clinic patients needing assistance in a variety of areas, including medications, food and activities of daily living.

When the pandemic hit and stay-at-home orders were enacted, many non-urgent physician appointments were cancelled. GWEP grant funding allowed Wells to continue to work from home for several weeks where he made daily calls to reach over 500 SWIRCA & More Activity Center members to make sure they had food, cleaning supplies and medication, as well as to provide essential information about the current events occurring in the community.

“Our mission is to provide resources and services that allow individuals who are at risk to remain safely living in their homes,” said Jillian Hall, Director of Employee Relations & Special Projects at SWIRCA & More. “To this point, our partnership with USI through the GWEP grant has allowed us to reach a larger population of older adults who may have not been aware of the services SWIRCA & More offers.”

Even though the pandemic forced SWIRCA & More to change its outreach tactics, the organization has remained laser-focused on helping the most vulnerable, especially those at risk of moving to a nursing home due to a lack of support in their homes.

“During the time he could not be there in person, Ron was able to provide much needed help for our members,” said Hall. “Through the conversations he is having with our members, he has found that some were food insecure and were not sure if they would have enough food to last them through the stay-at-home order. He was able to quickly arrange for SWIRCA to deliver boxes of donated food and household supplies that will last them at least two weeks, if not longer.”

Hall added that, while having enough food and medications are of utmost importance during these uncertain times, one of the biggest needs for these at-risk individuals has been met with these daily phone calls from Wells. “He is providing the gift of making these older adults feel connected to our community by knowing that while they may be isolated in their homes, they are never alone,” she said.

This model of providing an Area Agency on Aging care coordinator within a primary care clinic will be replicated in year two of the GWEP with a collaboration with Generations, located in Vincennes, and Deaconess Clinic’s location in Petersburg, Indiana, according to the grant’s primary investigator, Dr. Katie Ehlman, USI Professor of Gerontology and new appointee to the Indiana Commission on Aging.

Ehlman said additional focus areas of the grant have been impacted due to the pandemic and that her team and community partners are collaborating to deliver outcomes in response to the changing environment.

Deaconess Family Medicine Residency Clinic: Dr. Lisa Phifer, Assistant Director of Deaconess Family Medicine Residency, has worked with the GWEP to develop a new rating system for medical residents to prioritize clinic patients at risk for social isolation, food insecurity or unsafe living environments. “Because of the pandemic, many older adults are reluctant to move to short-term or long-term care facilities because of visitor lockdowns and risk of COVID-19 infection,” said Phifer. “A lot of people are barely getting by at home, so we developed this tool for making referrals to the GWEP/SWIRCA care coordinator.”

According to Phifer, medical residents will interview all patients age 60 and older to determine needs and make referrals to the SWIRCA care coordinator at the Deaconess downtown location. “We anticipate that a subset of referred patients will be connected with SWIRCA & More for ongoing services,” said Phifer.

Online Course Modules: Shortly after all University classes were moved to an online setting, the GWEP team developed a six-hour Advance Care Planning (ACP) module and a three-hour module on telehealth for USI courses, internships and clinicals to assist faculty members with relevant healthcare content for their online courses. The ACP module is also available upon request to other GWEPs and university faculty from across the United States.

Virtual Dementia Course: A two-day in-person dementia certification course, scheduled to take place in Evansville in late March with GWEP funding support, was successfully moved to a “live online” format via Zoom. Teepa Snow and her Positive Approach® to Care team led the training for 24 participants. One attendee commented to Snow, “Even though we are all practicing social distancing, your enthusiasm is contagious.”

“These are just a few of the areas where we have had to make adjustments,” said Ehlman. “Our team continues to assess the environment to identify other grant areas to restructure and pivot. Now more than ever, we need to continue to provide services to older adults and their caregivers in our communities.”

HEALTH DEPARTMENT UPDATES STATEWIDE COVID-19 CASE COUNTS, ANNOUNCES DRIVE-THRU TESTING CLINIC

0

The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced that 244 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private laboratories. That brings to 37,623 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.

Intensive care unit and ventilator capacity remains steady. As of today, more than 38 percent of ICU beds and 83 percent of ventilators are available.

A total of 2,135 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, an increase of 14 over the previous day. Another 181 probable deaths have been reported based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH and occurred over multiple days.

To date, 309,503 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 304,263 on Sunday.

Hoosiers who have symptoms of COVID-19 and those who have been exposed and need a test to return to work are encouraged to visit a state-sponsored testing site for free testing. Individuals without symptoms who are at high risk because they are over age 65, have diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or another underlying condition, as well as those who are pregnant, live with a high-risk individual or are a member of a minority population that is at greater risk for severe illness, also are encouraged to get tested.

ISDH will host a free drive-thru clinic Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Hidden Lake Park, 6355 Broadway, Merrillville, IN. To find other testing locations around the state, visit www.coronavirus.in.gov and click on the COVID-19 testing information link. More than 200 locations are available around the state.

“IS IT TRUE” JUNE 8, 2020

9
We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?
City-County Observer Comment Policy. Be kind to people. No personal attacks or harassment will be tolerated and will be removed from our site.”
We understand that sometimes people don’t always agree and discussions may become a little heated.  The use of offensive language, insults against commenters will not be tolerated and will be removed from our site.

IS IT TRUE that for centuries violent and peaceful protests have brought economic, political, and social changes not only in America but in countries all over the world?  … sometimes these protests forced needed changes and sometimes not? …that social media has been a powerful tool in getting the message out to the masses in order to inform, organize, and motivate people to join a crusade?

IS IT TRUE over the last several weeks, we have witnessed peaceful and violent protests throughout America? …the death of George Floyd by the hands of several Minneapolis law enforcement officers was the tipping point that awakened America?

IS IT TRUE we support those who have taken to the streets to exercise their First Amendment rights to peacefully express their anger and sorrow about George Floyd’s death?  …we strongly opposed the discrimination and racial injustice shown to people of color?  …we also oppose discrimination of people of all races, color, creed, religion, and sexual orientation?

IS IT TRUE although we support peaceful protests we don’t support violent protests in which the protesters hurt people and burn and loot businesses?  …in fact, we strongly feel protesters who hurt people, burn and loot businesses and destroy personal property should be arrested and put in jail?

IS IT TRUE it’s obvious that the time for empty political promises and empty dialog to come to an end? … its time for elected officials, law enforcement officials, judges, civil rights activists, legislative bodies, community leaders, citizens, and clergy to sit down and have an open and pointed discussion on how to begin the long and challenging task on how to end the race, political, social, economic injustices while addressing judicial and law enforcement reforms?
IS IT TRUE we got a kick out of career politicians when are they talking to the masses about the race issues and political, social, economic, judicial, and police injustices? …it’s even more intriguing when career politicians masterfully try to convince the masses that they understand and feel their grief, they understand their economic plight and suffering caused by racial injustice and institutional racism? …did we say that some of these career politicians wear Brook Brothers clothes, are members of a private County Club, and enjoy extensive social perks and financial benefits by being a long term elected public official?
IS IT TRUE if people continue to conduct their personal business as they did in the past they could catch the deadly COVID-19 virus and may become very sick or even die?
IS IT TRUE several years ago Evansville city officials spent $14 million on the North Main corridor to provide off-street parking, created an up-to-date bike trail, installed new street lighting to improve security in that area, installed new sidewalks, planted trees and scrubs, replaced water-sewer and gas lines and repaved streets? … the reasons are given for this $14 million capital project are that it will generate economic development and improve the quality of life for people living in that area? …it’s been about two years since this project was completed?  …we invite you to go to the North Main corridor area and see what kind of new retail businesses that this $14 million dollar public works project has attracted during the last several years?  …we also invite you to personally tour the 500 to 700 blocks of East Franklin and East Michigan streets and you will see community poverty and blight at its worse?
IS IT TRUE it’s time for our elected officials to look for ways to improve the multi-racial impoverished and blighted Jimtown and Jacobsville area?
IS IT TRUE there are other multi-racial and impoverished blighted areas located in Evansville 2nd, 4th, and 6th City Council Wards that elected officials should begin looking at improving in the near future?  …once they do they will quickly realize that “E Isn’t For Everone”?
IS IT TRUE that City Council President Alex Burton, Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, Police Chief Billy Bolin, Sheriff  Dave Wedding, and a couple of citizens had a moment of silence and ceremony for George Floyd last Friday?…this event was thoughtful and meaningful during these uncertain times?…we wonder why wasn’t any County Council, County Commissioners or City Council (other than Burton) invited to attend this worthy community event?

IS IT TRUE that we been told that our elected officials may be considering increasing our taxes in 2021?…we wonder how on earth can elected officials even think about any tax increases during times like these? …we got a suggestion that most elected officials won’t talk about or considering doing is cutting budgets and laying people off?

IS IT TRUE there may come a time that allowing public employees to be able to retire near full pay when the private taxpayers who toil to pay the taxes that cover their pensions is a situation that may not be tolerated for much longer?
IS IT TRUE that it is a common practice for a County Assessor to quietly increase home values? …to protest these increases, the homeowner has to obtain a certified appraisal costing at least $300?  …that the cost of the protest will cost approximately the same amount of money as the increase in our property taxes?  …it is also a common practice by County Assessors that even if the homeowner pays the cost of the appraisal and wins, the very next year the County Assessor will increase the home values back to the original increase and then some?
IS IT TRUE that Perry Township Trustee Rick Riney has proven to be an outstanding public servant?
IS IT TRUE in 1998 the Teamsters Local 215 established a Taft-Hartley Scholarship Fund? …the Trustees of the fund are Chuck Whobrey and Rick Voyles as employee Trustees and two Employer Trustees? ..since 1998 the fund has awarded over $4 million dollars in scholarships to the sons and daughters of Teamsters members whose employers contribute to the fund? …we look forward to publishing what worthy students will be awarded this scholarship for this year? …the CCO gives five (5) cheers to the Teamsters  Local 215 for establishing the Taft-Hartley Scholarship Fund?
IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny!  When the Government fears the people we have Liberty?

IS IT TRUE our “READERS POLLS” are non-scientific but trendy?

Today’s “Readers Poll” question is: If the election for the President Of The United States were held today who would you vote for?
