EPA Releases Booklet To Help Houses Of Worship Identify And Reduce Environmental Health Hazards

0

Booklet Focuses On Keeping Children Safe And Healthy Where They Worship

In accordance with Children’s Health Month, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced the release of a new EPA booklet, Supporting Healthy Houses of Worship: Effective, Affordable Measures to Protect the Health of Congregations and Staff, on a call today with faith-based leaders across the country. This booklet is designed to provide places of worship with information on actions they can take to reduce environmental health risks, with a special emphasis on children’s health, as children are particularly vulnerable to many environmental risks.

“Churches and houses of worship play a vital role in American society, and we are providing them with voluntary recommendations for effective and affordable measures to protect the health of their congregations and staff,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “This booklet is an important part of EPA’s efforts during Children’s Health Month to highlight all our programs and resources available to protect children where they live, learn and play.”

The booklet is designed to identify some of the most common types of environmental health concerns (e.g., lead, mercury, mold/moisture, radon exposures, etc.) found in older facilities and contains voluntary recommendations that maintenance staff may use to limit risks to congregations. It also provides one-stop access to learn some facts about these issues and existing low-cost or no-cost measures to prevent, reduce and resolve each of the highlighted environmental issues.  EPA releases new booklet to help houses of worship identify and reduce environmental health hazards

BY Sgt. Jason Cullum

EPD Public Information Officer

Evansville Police made a quick arrest after 5 people were shot outside of the American Legion Post at 1127 Chestnut St. Officers were in the area of the Legion just before 3:00am due to ongoing disturbances. Officers heard the gunshots and immediately responded to the scene.

The first officer on scene was given a description of the shooter and provided it to other responding officers. He was also told KEYMO JOHNSON (37) was the shooter. JOHNSON was spotted running from the scene was captured after a foot chase. He was taken into custody without incident. 

Three victims received serious injuries and were taken to the hospital by ambulance. The remaining victims suffered minor injuries and refused medical care.  

Investigators were told JOHNSON had been in an altercation with one of the victims inside of the Legion bar and was told to leave. JOHNSON was in the parking lot when the other individual involved in the altercation walked outside with a group of people. Witnesses said JOHNSON removed a gun from his waistband and began firing into the group, striking 5 people. Four cars were also struck by gunfire. 

JOHNSON was arrested on the following charges:

Attempted Murder

Battery with a Deadly Weapon

Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon

Resisting Law Enforcement

Criminal Mischief

Loyola deals volleyball first home loss

0

Rachel Tam recorded 10 kills, but the offense of Loyola finished with 41 kills as the Ramblers gave the University of Evansville volleyball team its first home loss of the season by a 3-0 final on Saturday at Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Tam posted 10 kills for UE (12-4, 3-2 MVC) while Alondra Vazquez had six.  Allana McInnis led the way with 19 assists and Gabriela Macedo finished the game with 16 digs.

“Loyola is playing great volleyball right now, they outplayed us in every aspect of the game,” Aces coach Fernando Morales said.  “We may have been tired from yesterday, but that was not the difference.  We are still in a good spot and have a really important match next week that will get us closer to our goal.”

Taylor Venuto led Loyola (11-6, 4-0 MVC) with 12 kills while Addie Barnes added 10.  Maddy Moser led all players with 19 digs.

After jumping out to a 3-1 lead to open the first set, the Ramblers added to their lead, extending it to five points at 12-7.  From there, they led by as many as 10 and finished with that advantage, earning a 25-15 win and a 1-0 lead on the night.

Another fast start had Loyola on top by a 10-5 margin in game two.  They kept the momentum rolling when a pair of service aces extended their lead to 19-10.  Their largest lead was the final of 25-14.

Following the break in between the second and third games, Evansville came out focused in the third frame, scoring the first four points with three different players recording a kill.  Gabriela Macedo added a service ace in the opening moments.  Loyola withstood the Aces start and battled back to tie it for the first time at 7-7 before grabbing a 10-9 lead.  Evansville held a 9-8 edge before LUC reeled off five in a row.  The Aces battled back within one at 13-12 when Tam registered her 10th kill of the night, but the Ramblers proved to be too much as they wrapped up the match with a 25-16 win.

Next up for the Aces is a trip to Terre Haute on Friday evening for a match against Indiana State.  Game time is 5 p.m. CT.

Eagles rebound with three-setter over Bearcats

0

The University of Southern Indiana volleyball team bounced back in Great Lakes Valley Conference play with a three-set victory (25-19, 25-17, 25-11) over visitor Southwest Baptist University Saturday afternoon.

The Screaming Eagles (8-8, 2-2 GLVC) posted a blazing .355 team hitting percentage compared to the Bearcats’ (2-14, 0-4 GLVC) .079. USI only committed 10 attack errors collectively, within one day of posting 26 against Drury University.

Freshman outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) led the way on the attack with 13 kills and a commanding .462 attack clip. Anderson also led the way on the receiving end with nine digs, one shy of her third double-double of the season.

Junior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) collected 37 assists, guiding the Eagles to 43 team kills for the match. Cepicky was also one of three Eagles to come within two of Anderson’s team-high nine digs, along with freshman libero Audrey Crowder (Avon, Indiana) and freshman setter Kelsie Vanitvelt (Grand Blanc, Michigan).

First Set: USI 25, Southwest Baptist 19

The Eagles and Bearcats traded the lead five times early on in the frame before USI took over for good at 9-8, dropping a 7-2 run on the visitors. Each of the three sets started in similar fashion, though USI never lost the opening lead in either of the second and third sets.

Anderson and senior outside hitter Lindsey Stose (Elkhart, Indiana) did a majority of the damage for the Eagles, combining for nine kills on a .500 hitting clip. Stose also added a service ace and a block in the first set.

Second Set: USI 25, Southwest Baptist 17

Cepicky directed traffic on her way to 14 assists in the second frame as USI dropped 17 more kills on the Bearcats. The junior setter, along with Crowder, also led the Eagles with four digs.

Anderson maintained her pace with four more kills in the second, accompanied by four more kills from senior middle blocker Amanda Jung (Belleville, Illinois).

Third Set: USI 25, Southwest Baptist 11

The Eagles dropped a 13-2 streak on the Bearcats squarely in the middle of the frame after allowing a 5-5 start. Outscoring SBU 20-6 after the final tie led USI to allowing its second-lowest opposing output of any set in 2019.

Sophomore middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri) entered the match for the first time a few points into the third to lead the final frame with six points via a four-for-four attack performance and three blocks.

Cepicky’s 12 assists on USI’s 13 kills positioned the Eagles for a .423 hitting clip as a unit. Much of that output came between Litteken and Anderson, combining for eight kills on a blistering .727 attack rate.

Up Next

USI Volleyball travels to Lebanon, Illinois for a quick visit with the McKendree University Bearcats Thursday evening before returning to the Screaming Eagles Arena Thursday to host the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Side Nut Club Fall Festival begins Monday

0

The 98th annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival begins Monday, October 07, 2019. The week long event has been an Evansville tradition since 1921. The festival occupies over four city blocks and will feature food, rides, music, pageants, contests and parades.

Once again the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office will maintain a tent at the intersection of W. Franklin Street and N. 11th Avenue next to the lost and found booth. At this location, sheriff’s deputies will be passing out yellow wristbands to children. The underside of the wristband can display a parent or guardians’ phone number, which may be used to reunite a child with a missing parent. We also have a supply of reflective wristbands to help keep kids visible during the evening hours.

Sheriff’s Office personnel will also be on hand to speak to the public about our recent recruitment efforts. The Sheriff’s Office is currently accepting applications for the position of Confinement Officer. Interested potential applicants are encouraged to stop by the Sheriff’s Office tent for additional information.

The Evansville Police Department will be providing law enforcement services throughout the festival grounds and will have a mobile command center stationed at W. Franklin Street and N. 10th Avenue.

The Sheriff’s Office offers the following safety tips for your visit to the Fall Festival:

  • When you arrive at the festival, identify and point out officials your child can approach if they become separated from you. Describe the sheriff’s deputy and police officer uniforms, the Nut Club member hats and the fire official uniforms so your child knows who is safe to approach.
  • Nothing takes the place of your supervision. Younger children can become distracted with all of the sights, sounds, smells, and crowds at the Fall Festival.
  • If your child is old enough to be out of your eyesight, make sure they take a friend with them. There is safety in numbers (as well as more fun to be had). Remember to have your child check in on a regular basis. Identify where you will meet them and what time they should be there.
  • If you become separated from your child, notify a sheriff’s deputy or police officer as soon as possible.
  • Heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic will create an increased risk of accidents. Take your child by the hand when walking to and from the festival. Use caution when leaving the sidewalk. Consider using a paid parking lot to support a worthy cause.

Stop by the Sheriff’s Office Fall Festival tent, where you can talk to a sheriff’s deputy and pick up a free munchie map. You can also enter for a chance to win a 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide motorcycle from the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association (ISA). The motorcycle will be on display at the Sheriff’s Office tent all week long. Proceeds will benefit the families of deputies and officers killed in the line of duty as well as the ISA’s Youth Leadership Camps and Scholarship Program.

Sheriff Dave Wedding stated, “We want everyone who visits the Fall Festival this year to have a safe, fun and memorable time. Unfortunately every year a few people try to ruin the experience for the rest of us. Please report suspicious or illegal activity to law enforcement so that the situation can be quickly addressed.”

Southwest Indiana Hosts Life Chain

0

The Right to Life of Southwest Indiana will host its annual Life Chain Prayer event on Sunday, October 6, 2019 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. starting at Brinker’s Jewelers parking lot located at 111 S. Green River Road in Evansville.

Held on National Life Chain Sunday, Life Chain is interfaith and welcomes everyone who upholds human Life from conception to death. While grateful for events that celebrate Life, National Life Chain Sunday is a time for silent public witness and solemn reflection on the grave injustice of legal child killing and the resultant cultural depravities. Given to prayer and meditation, participants space themselves for more mindful self-assessment and do not respond to either blessing or barb from passing motorists.

Free signs will be distributed beginning at 1:00 p.m. and hot dogs, chips, cookies & water will be provided. Prayer Chain will commence from 1:30 -2:30 p.m. along Green River Road and lawn chairs, umbrellas and strollers are welcome.

Senator Braun Releases Statement Regarding President Trump’s Historic Deal Regarding The Renewable Fuel Standard

0

U.S. Senator Mike Braun, who was a strong advocate on behalf of Hoosier farmers released, the following statement regarding President Trump’s agreement on biofuels.

“At my recent townhall meeting in Franklin, Indiana, this issue was top of mind for Hoosier farmers and producers.  I worked closely with USDA and the Trump Administration to make sure those concerns were realized here in Washington. This is why I am proud to announce that President Trump kept his promise to Hoosier farmers to ensure the RFS is implanted in a manner consistent with Congressional intent,” said U.S. Senator Mike Braun.  “This agreement to expand domestic energy production is a win for Hoosier farmers, and it comes on the heels of a year-round E-15 decision.  Hoosiers will not forget that President Trump is in their corner.”

BACKGROUND …

Trump announces deal to boost demand for ethanol, in boon for farmers.  “The Trump administration moved Friday to quell complaints from farmers — a key voting constituency — by increasing federal mandates for production of corn-based ethanol and biodiesel.  President Trump has sought for weeks to broker a compromise between ethanol supporters and the oil industry over the Renewable Fuel Standard. … Farmers have criticized the administration’s policy of exempting some small oil refineries from RFS requirements to blend billions of gallons of corn ethanol into gasoline, which they argue are eroding the market for ethanol and the corn used to make it.  The Trump administration has approved waivers almost four times as often as the previous administration. Farmers’ anger peaked when the EPA announced in August that it exempted 31 oil refineries from 2018 requirements to use renewable fuel.  In a series of proposed changes to the RFS, EPA says it will issue a notice for public comment on expanding biofuel requirements so that more than 15 billion gallons of conventional ethanol be blended into the nation’s fuel supply beginning in 2020.  EPA said it will also propose a rule to streamline labeling and remove other barriers to the sale of E15, a gasoline fuel blend that is 15% ethanol.”  (The Washington Examiner, 10/04/19)
