UE Business School Listed as one of 10 Undergraduate Schools to Watch in 2020

0

The Schroeder Family School of Business Administration at the University of Evansville was included in Poets&Quants‘s annual list of the top 10 undergraduate schools to watch. The Schroeder School joins other schools of business such as the Wharton School, Ross School, and Stern School in this prestigious list of programs that are “setting the standard for what students can expect and schools can achieve.”

The Schroeder School‘s 100 percent job placement rate was a major factor in achieving this recognition. According to P&Q, the school’s impressive success beat out all “97 undergraduate business programs ranked by Poets&Quants.”

The article notes that Schroeder graduates get jobs, and “These aren’t just any jobs either. … Schroeder ranked #1 for their business degree helping them land their ‘dream career’ – topping highly-decorated programs like the Wharton School and Indiana University’s Kelley School. In the same survey, Schroeder alumni placed their alma mater among the ten-best business programs for alumni help in job hunting.”

Ben Johnson, Schroeder School’s interim dean, touts the school’s Office for Career Success for helping ensure students’ success. Students gain high level job experiences and a build a professional network that sees most students graduating with a job offer already in hand.

The Schroeder Family School of Business Administration currently educates 250 students in seven programs of study, including accounting, finance, global business, logistics and supply chain management, marketing, management, and economics. The AACSB-accredited business school is ranked #4 among small, private schools by U.S. News & World Report with the Finance and Accounting programs ranked #2 and #3, respectively.

Evansville Water to Temporarily Change Disinfection

Evansville Water to Temporarily Change Disinfection

 Beginning May 11 and continuing until June 22, 2020, the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) will temporarily change the disinfectant used in the water treatment process. EWSU will be using free chlorine rather than the regularly used disinfectant (chloramine) during this time period. This is the first of two such temporary switchovers, with the second one coming in August. A separate notice for that second switchover will also be issued.

What is Chloramine?

Chloramine is a disinfectant used in drinking water to remove bacteria and viruses that can make you sick. It is made up of chlorine and ammonia. EWSU has used chloramine as the disinfectant in its water treatment process since 1999.

What is Free Chlorine?

Free chlorine is a slightly stronger disinfectant than chloramine, and it is used to remove more resistant bacteria and viruses that may be found in the water distribution system.

Why would the EWSU Convert from Chloramines to Free Chlorine?

This brief, scheduled change in disinfectant is a standard water-treatment practice to keep water mains clean and free of potentially harmful bacteria throughout the year. State drinking water guidelines recommend that utilities using chloramine periodically switch to free chlorine for a period of time. The temporary use of chlorine will ensure that a proper level of disinfectant is maintained throughout the network of water mains and pipes that deliver your drinking water.

Free chlorine is a more aggressive disinfectant than chloramine, and this temporary change in the water treatment process denies bacteria the ability to form resistance to the usual disinfection treatment process. Switching to free chlorine is a proactive step to ensure that we maintain optimal levels of disinfectant in the water distribution system.

As always, the drinking water will be regularly monitored to ensure that the water delivered meets, or is better than, federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards.

Why Does EWSU Use Chloramines Most of the Year?

While chlorine is an effective disinfectant, using chlorine alone creates byproducts that are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These by-product levels can be significantly and cost-effectively reduced through the use of chloramine. Also, chloramine has less odor (compared to chlorine), and remains in the distribution system longer to more effectively prevent bacterial growth. As such, chloramine is a better long-term choice as a regular disinfectant.

Will I Notice a Difference in My Water?

During this time period, some customers may notice a slight change in the taste or odor of their tap water. Free chlorine may have more of a chemical odor, slightly like that of swimming pool water. Each individual customer has his or her own sensitivity level to the taste and/or odor of free chlorine. Many detect no change at all. The mild chlorine taste and odor is normal and poses no health risk.

Are Free Chlorine and Chloraminated Water Safe?

Yes, both form chlorine and chloramine are effective and safe for people and animals for drinking, cooking, and bathing, as well as watering the garden and all other common uses. However, precautions should be taken to remove or neutralize chloramine and free chlorine during the kidney dialysis process, in the preparation of water for fish tanks and ponds, and for businesses requiring highly-processed water. A de-chlorination procedure optimized for chloramine removal will work equally well with free chlorine.

People and businesses that normally take special precautions to remove chloramine from tap water (such as dialysis centers, medical facilities, and aquatic pet owners) should continue to take the same precautions during the temporary switch from chloramine to free chlorine.

Most customers will not need to take any precautions as the water remains safe to drink and is treated according to both state and federal standards.

Kidney Dialysis: Just like chloramines, free chlorine must be removed from water used in kidney dialysis machines. ETSU has contacted representatives from the medical community to inform them of this temporary conversion. We advise customers who are dialysis patients to call their physicians or dialysis centers if there are any questions.

Fish Owners: Like chloramine, free chlorine is toxic to fish. Fish owners need to remove chlorine, ammonia and chloramine from the water before use with tropical fish. Local pet stores carry water conditioners that remove chloramine and free chlorine. If customers have questions, we recommend contacting their pet store for information and detailed instructions.

EWSU is committed to providing high-quality water and related services that meet all regulatory drinking water standards in a manner that prevents pollution, enhances the environment, and promotes sustainability. If you need further information regarding this change, please contact the Utility at (812) 428-0568.

 

 

Spruance Joins USI Men’s Basketball Staff

0

 University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball announced the hiring of         John Spruance as a men’s basketball assistant coach. He completes USI Head Coach Stan Gouard‘s staff that also includes current assistant coach Kevin Gant.  

“I am very excited to have John and Kevin on our staff,” said Gouard. “We have assembled two great coaches from the many potential coaches that expressed interest in USI Basketball.

“John and Kevin are excellent mentors and teachers,” continued Gouard. “Both have familiarity with the Great Lakes Valley Conference, as well as the Midwest Region.  They are proven winners and will personify the blue-collar mentality that we embrace here at USI.”

Spruance spent the last two seasons with Gouard at the University of Indianapolis, helping to produce a 43-16 overall record and climb to the top of the NCAA Midwest Region in 2019-20. He spent five seasons with Lewis University as an assistant coach prior to joining the UIndy staff.

In his five years with the Flyers (2013-18), Spruance helped guide Lewis to an 86-37 record, four GLVC tournaments, two NCAA Tournaments, and back-to-back appearances in the GLVC Tournament championship game, including the 2016 GLVC Tournament title.

Prior to his arrival at Lewis, the Chicago, Illinois, native, spent one season at the University of Hawaii (2010-11) and Holland High School in Holland Michigan (2009-10) as an assistant coach. He also coached for the West Michigan Lakers AAU program during his time in Michigan.

Spruance received a bachelor’s degree in communications from Hope College in 2010 where he played basketball from 2006-08. He later earned his master’s degree in recreation and sport sciences with a concentration in coaching education in 2016.

AG Curtis Hill files complaint over real estate scheme involving former ‘Fox & Friends’ host

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today alleged that several companies and people – including a former “Fox & Friends” host – perpetrated a years-long real-estate scheme and defrauded dozens of would-be investors.Victims of the scheme took possession of dilapidated properties they believed were in better shape and paid for services that were never provided. In the end, they lost thousands of dollars, Attorney General Hill said.A civil complaint alleges that Clayton Morris, Bert Whalen and Natalie Bastin – along with their associated companies – violated the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act and the Home Loan Practices Act. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, civil penalties, and consumer restitution where possible.

Morris, who worked for Fox News as a radio and TV host until 2017, was integral to the scheme, according to the complaint. Morris promised consumers simple, ready-to-rent “turnkey” properties that would deliver a significant return on investment. He used his popularity to lure consumers into the scheme and advertised his services as an opportunity to make money through “passive income,” the complaint says.  

The consumers, many of whom were from outside of Indiana, we’re promised an easy path to financial freedom. But the reality was much different.

Instead, many consumers were given rental properties that were dilapidated, cited by local health officials, and uninhabitable. Many did not receive services for which they paid. And many sold their homes at a loss or are trying to salvage any remaining value they have.

“Dozens of consumers were promised a path to financial flourishing, but that promise was broken,” Attorney General Hill said. “These defendants raked in money as they knowingly caused eager home-buyers to suffer. We will hold them accountable for their unconscionable and predatory behavior.”

Morris worked closely with Whalen and his related entities, who ensured that Morris had enough properties to provide consumers who were enticed into their deception.

The Marion County Health Department and the Indianapolis Department of Business and Neighborhood Services assessed at least 138 violations to the subject properties because the defendants did not properly renovate, rehabilitate and/or maintain them. This left consumers unable to lease or sell the properties.

In one instance, a property on the east side of Indianapolis was cited due to moldy walls, electrical outlets that did not function properly and the kitchen sink not being connected to an appropriate drainage and sewer system.

More than 150 properties were implicated in this scheme, impacting transactions with at least 94 consumers. The Office of the Attorney General received more than 120 consumer complaints in connection with the properties.

“Our goal is to help the consumers who fell victim to the defendants’ fraudulent actions,” Attorney General Hill said. “We are requesting that the court order the defendants to pay restitution to their victims. We hope this money will help them regain their financial footing.”

Arts Council Sets Reopen Date To Announces Summer Programming Changes

For Immediate Release
Arts Council sets reopen date, announces summer programming changes
The Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana will reopen the Bower-Suhrheinrich Foundation Gallery on June 16, following state guidelines for cultural and entertainment venues.
There are several changes to the Arts Council’s summer programming, including the annual Arts Awards celebration, “On the Roof” music series, First Fridays and gallery exhibits.
“We’ve taken safety measures seriously and have worked remotely since March 15. I’m proud of the virtual content the staff has created, and the high numbers of arts engagement we’ve seen through our digital platforms,” said Anne McKim, Executive Director of the Arts Council. “Our continued caution is a reflection of our commitment to the health of the entire community, although we, like so many people, long for the return of in-person arts and culture.”
The annual Arts Awards celebration has been canceled. The fundraiser for the Arts Council celebrated artists and organizations in individual categories, including the prestigious Mayor’s Art Award. The event will return next year.
Gallery shows will resume on June 16 with an exhibition of art created during the stay at home order, “Unsheltered.” The exhibit will run through July 31. Information about a public reception for the show will be announced at a later date as the staff evaluates cleaning and safety policy.
The “On the Roof” outdoor music series that takes place on the gallery’s roof in Downtown Evansville will begin on June 20 with performances by Corduroy Orbison, Calabash and Nero Angelo. This will be the first concert at the gallery since it shutdown in early March. The Arts Council will follow appropriate social distancing practices, and the concert attendance will be limited to 50. Participants are encouraged to wear facemasks. The lineup for the rest of the “On the Roof” season will be announced soon.
Haynie’s Corner First Fridays, a collaboration of the Haynie’s Corner Art District Association and the Arts Council, scheduled for June 5 and July 3 are canceled due to state guidelines on gatherings or more than 250 people.
The Arts Council will continue to offer virtual content, including exhibits, videos and articles, on its website at artswin.org and on its social media accounts.

EPA Announces the Selection of 155 Grants for Communities to Receive Over $65 Million in Total Grant Funding for Brownfield Assessments and Cleanups Across the Nation

0
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the selection of 155 grants for communities and tribes totaling over $65.6 million in EPA brownfields funding through the agency’s Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Grant Programs.

These EPA grant programs support community revitalization in under-served and economically disadvantaged communities.

“Grants awarded by EPA’s Brownfield Program provide communities and tribes across the country with an opportunity to transform contaminated sites into community assets,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Under President Trump’s leadership, EPA has delivered approximately $287 million in Brownfield grants directly to communities and nonprofits for cleanup and redevelopment, job creation, and economic development through the award of over 948 grants.”

Of the communities selected this year, 118 can potentially assess or clean up brownfield sites in census tracts designated as federal Opportunity Zones. An Opportunity Zone is a designated economically distressed census tract where new private investment, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Nearly 30% of the communities selected are receiving brownfields funding for the first time.

Communities that previously received brownfields grants used these resources to fund assessments and cleanups of brownfields and successfully leveraged 8.5 jobs per $100,000 of EPA brownfield grant funds spent. Brownfields grant funding is found to:

  • Increase Local Tax Revenue: A study of 48 brownfields sites found that an estimated $29 million to $97 million in additional local tax revenue was generated in a single year after cleanup. This is two to seven times more than the $12.4 million EPA contributed to the cleanup of these sites.
  • Increase Residential Property Values: Another study found that property values of homes near revitalized brownfields sites increased between 5% and 15% following cleanup.

0

To help make it easier for families to enroll, the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation is now offering online enrollment for all new students, including kindergartners, as well as for current EVSC students who have moved into a new school district or for those returning to the corporation.

“We are extremely excited about our new online enrollment process,” said EVSC Superintendent David Smith. “While we have been looking into this for a while now, our current situation with COVID-19 and social distancing necessitates we do this now, not only for the safety of our families, but for our staff as well.”

Families needing to enroll students should visit www.EVSCschools.com/enrollment. There will be three options on the page, one for brand new students to the EVSC, including kindergartners; one for current and former EVSC students; and another for students attending any of the EVSC’s Early Learning programs who need to enroll in kindergarten.

New Student & New Kindergarten Enrollment ProcessNew students to the EVSC, including new kindergartners, will first fill out a pre-registration form. Parents will then receive communication from their district school with a link to an additional enrollment form. Families also will receive instructions on how, if possible, to send required documentation to the school such as proof of residence and immunizations and a copy of the student’s legal birth certificate.

Current/Former EVSC Students

Current EVSC students who have moved and believe they are now in a new school district, and those students who have attended the EVSC in the past, will be directed to fill out a form on the website of their current or most recently attended EVSC school. Schools will then follow up with families, as needed.

Current EVSC PreK Students Enrolling in Kindergarten

Update on Officer Involved Shooting Investigation

0

 

Pike County – After continuing to investigate the officer involved shooting that occurred Sunday afternoon, May 3, at a residence located at 7858 South Meridian Road, Indiana State Police detectives have additional information concerning the incident

According to detectives, Michael Faries, 69, called 911 stating he and his wife were starving and someone was shooting at them. Petersburg Police Officer Kyle Mills and Pike County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Collier responded and arrived at the residence at approximately 2:14 p.m. Officers initially made contact with Faries’ wife at the front door to the residence and informed her they had to check on his well-being since he called 911. While at the front door, Deputy Collier could see Faries inside the residence and noticed he had his right hand in his pocket. Faries was also agitated and yelling. Deputy Collier continued to talk to Faries in an attempt to calm him down. Faries eventually agreed to go outside to continue to talk to the officers. Deputy Collier then noticed a bulge in Faries’ right pocket. Deputy Collier stepped just inside the residence and gave several loud verbal commands instructing Faries to take his hand out of his pocket. At this point, Faries drew a revolver out of his right pocket. Deputy Collier discharged his service weapon striking Faries two times. An ambulance was requested and both officers initiated CPR, but Faries succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The handgun Faries drew from his pocket was a loaded .38 caliber revolver.

Deputy Paul Collier is a five-year veteran of the Pike County Sheriff’s Office. Corporal Kyle Mills is a nine-year veteran of the Petersburg Police Department.

An autopsy conducted on May 4 revealed Faries died from gunshot wounds. Toxicology results are pending.

This is an on-going investigation. When the investigation is complete it will be turned over to the Pike County Prosecutor’s Office for their review, which is standard practice when a police officer is involved in a police action shooting.

Investigating Officers: Detective Wes Kuykendall, Detective Sergeant Brad Chandler and Detective First Sergeant Trevor Helmer, Indiana State Police
