EPA Administrator Wheeler statement about Shell ethylene cracker plant tour in Monaca, Pennsylvania, with President Trump

0

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler traveled to Monaca with President Donald Trump to visit the Pennsylvania Shell ethylene cracker plant. President Trump, Administrator Wheeler, and U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Rick Perry will tour the soon-to-be completed Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex, which currently has on site 4,500 construction workers and will employ 600 permanent employees once operational. Following the tour, President Trump will give remarks touting this administration’s economic accomplishments and support for America’s expanding domestic manufacturing and energy production.

“President Trump has led an economic revival in Pennsylvania, and I was glad to join him to see that progress firsthand at the new Shell ethylene cracker plant. The president’s policies are unleashing America’s abundant energy resources and creating new jobs, new products, and new hope here in Pennsylvania and across the country,” said Administrator Wheeler. “This facility will use American natural gas, which is obtained in the most environmentally conscious way, to produce American-made plastics, instead of relying on imports from China and others, which has a far greater impact on the environment. EPA’s regulatory reforms, particularly our recent proposal to improve the Section 401 certification process, will accelerate the construction of more energy infrastructure projects that will strengthen our nation for decades to come.”

JUST IN: St. Vincent Evansville Announces The Extension Of The Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Evansville

0

Peyton Manning. Peyton, along with representatives from St. Vincent Evansville and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, today announced the extension of the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital brand in the Tri-State and the opening of the new Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Emergency Room for Children.

St. Vincent Evansville and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent have collaborated for years to care for the Tri-State’s youth. Providers from both facilities have worked together closely to share best practices among care teams to ensure patients receive the best pediatric care across Indiana. Expanding the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital brand to Evansville will continue to showcase this relationship. 

“I am so proud of the care teams at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent for their ongoing dedication and for providing exceptional care for children throughout the state and beyond. Indiana has and always will have a special place in my heart, and I am excited about the extension of the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital brand, and pediatric services and offerings in Evansville,” said Peyton Manning, former NFL quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos and two-time Super Bowl champion. “The pediatricians and staff should be commended for their commitment to quality, innovation and successful outcomes in pediatric care.” 

Soon, the Evansville community will notice the outpatient and inpatient pediatric facilities and services in Evansville and the surrounding areas will bear the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital logo. 

St. Vincent Evansville and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital will share processes, policies, and protocols to further enhance the quality of pediatric care across the state. St. Vincent Evansville will continue to provide patients in southwest Indiana with the very best pediatric care locally while enhancing ease of access to much needed pediatric specialty care. 

The statewide pediatric care teams have already been hard at work on this integration. Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital pediatricians specializing in endocrinology and orthopedics host regular clinics in Evansville. The St. Vincent Center for Children in Evansville is home to a full-time Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital pediatric gastroenterologist and a full-time pediatric neurologist as well as a world-renowned feeding program. In addition, the Center for Children is also recruiting for a second gastroenterologist and a pulmonologist, and the center is in the process of establishing a pediatric sleep medicine program. 

“When parents bring their kids to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, they are entrusting us with the care of their loved ones so they should expect the best of everything — the best doctors, the best nurses, the absolute best,” said Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital President Dr. Hossain M. Marandi. “We are privileged to serve as the pediatric choice for Evansville and are excited about further expanding our specialized services to the community so that children can have greater access to excellent care, closer to home.”

Emergency Room for Children

As part of this statewide collaboration, Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital will open its second emergency room on Aug. 15. The new emergency room for children is located on the campus of St. Vincent Evansville in a separate area, adjacent to the hospital’s existing emergency room. The new space will offer specialized pediatric emergency care closer to home for the residents of the Tri-State.

“As the area’s only hospital verified as a Level II trauma center for both adult and pediatrics, St. Vincent Evansville has a long history of providing patients of all ages with the very best emergency care. With the opening of the new Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Emergency Room, we are providing even more specialized services and space for our youngest patients,” said Dan Parod, President of the Southern Region for St. Vincent Evansville.

The Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Emergency Room for Children in Evansville is staffed by nurse practitioners specially-trained in pediatrics, along with board-certified emergency medicine physicians. The team is well prepared to care for children with acute, chronic and complex illnesses. Children treated in the new emergency room will have access to follow-up care by the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital network of board-certified pediatric subspecialists who can treat some of the more acute and complex conditions and pediatricians who provide primary care for routine health and wellness. 

The newly designed space includes seven private treatment rooms and specialized equipment for the fast delivery of comprehensive emergency care. To reduce anxiety and minimize wait times, X-rays and results from lab tests will be offered to parents inside the emergency room.

Commentary: They Who Help Also Serve

August 14, 2019,

By John Krull
TheStatehouseFile.com 

FOREST PARK, Illinois – The warriors trade jokes over the lunch table.

I’m at the Blind Rehabilitation Center on the Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Administration Hospital campus. About 35 veterans ranging in age from 23 to 96, all with limited or no vision, take their mid-day meals here in the dining room.

John Krull, publisher, TheStatehouseFile.com

The conversation is loud and lively. At the table where I sit, jokes fly about former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who’s serving a 14-year prison sentence on bribery and corruption charges. President Donald Trump has been making noises about pardoning Blagojevich.

The guys at the table are less concerned about the possible pardon than they are about the sheer idiocy of the former governor’s offense – trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat over a phone line he knew was likely to be tapped.

“Ought to be a special prison for someone that stupid,” a Desert Storm vet named Dave says.

Dave and the other vets in the dining room are here for stays that can last between a month and two months. They learn how to cope as their sight fails them.

“It’s amazing the things they teach you here,” Dave says.

I learn that firsthand by sampling some of the instruction.

A young woman who specializes in teaching strategies and techniques to maintain mobility has me put on a blindfold. Then she shows me how to guide a “traveler” – a person with limited or no sight – on a walk.

The guide touches the traveler on the back of the hand, then allows the traveler to reach up and grip the guide just above the elbow. As the young woman walks me through the center, she explains what the guide should do to make the journey easier for the traveler: talk about what’s going on around them, but do it in a matter-of-fact, low-key way. Then she shows me how to form a single file in a crowded space by stretching her arm behind her and allowing me, the traveler, to slide my grip down to her wrist and step behind her.

All the while, she explains, with seemingly infinite patience, why we’re doing what we’re doing.

As she guides me, blindfolded, through this strange place, I think how unnerving it must be for these vets not to be able to see what’s around them.

And how reassuring it must be to have someone show them how they can continue to move through the world.

At another point, a young man leads me, blindfolded again, through a memory and dexterity drill. As I try to make out the shapes my fingers touch, he, too, talks to me about how vets with impaired or no vision can figure out different ways to cope.

Like the young woman, he, too, teaches with a soft voice and an easy manner. When I get something wrong, he just tells me that practice will make it better and will make me feel more confident.

We Americans talk a lot about all the ways the government can fail us.

Evidence of those failures is all around us. But that is the case with any institution or enterprise made up of human beings – which is to say, all of them.

The VA has drawn its share of criticism in recent years. Much of that criticism has been valid.

But those failures shouldn’t obscure the larger story. The people here work hard to make life a little more manageable for other human beings who devoted a portion of their lives to defend us and our nation.

The staff members here don’t make massive salaries. They do the work because they care about people and want to help them.

Near the end of the day, another staffer stops to say goodbye to a vet who is checking out and going home. She tells the vet she’s enjoyed working with him and then gives him a hug.

“Thank you for your service to our country,” she says as they embrace.

And I think Same to you.

Larry Humes Named To MVC Hall of Fame

1

Humes Will Officially Be Inducted In MVC Hall Of Fame InMarch of 2020

The Missouri Valley Conference will honor its past when the league conducts its annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony in St. Louis on Friday, March 6, 2020.  University of Evansville basketball legend Larry Humes will be among the inductees.

The 23rd MVC Hall of Fame class features a two-sport (baseball/football) student-athlete in Mike Prior (Illinois State); a baseball student-athlete in Bill Mueller (Missouri State); a four-time NCAA track & field pole vault champion in Kylie Hutson (Indiana State); coaching legends Richard “Itchy” Jones (Southern Illinois baseball) and Phog Allen (Kansas basketball) and Humes.

Humes left the University of Evansville as the leading scorer in program history with 2,236 points and he currently ranks third on that list, despite not playing in an era with the three-point line.  His teams won two NCAA National Championships while Humes averaged 32.5 points per game as a junior and 31.0 during his senior campaign of 1965-66.

“I am honored to be selected to be in the MVC Hall of Fame.  I appreciate the committee who thought that I did enough to deserve that honor,” Humes said.  “My time in Evansville was great.  The fans were unbelievable and probably the greatest in the country.  To be able to play at Roberts Stadium and win for our fans was a great honor and it remains that way today.  I still remember those special nights at Roberts and playing with my teammates.”

For Humes, it is the second major honor of the year for him as it was announced earlier in 2019 that he would be in the latest class to enter the Small College Basketball Hall of Fame.  That ceremony is set to take place on October 31 in St. Joseph, Mo.

The league will conduct its annual Hall of Fame ceremony as part the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Men’s Basketball Championship next March 5-8. The March 6 festivities will begin with an 8:00 a.m. breakfast, followed by the induction ceremony at 8:30 a.m.

Tickets to the 2020 Hall of Fame event – scheduled to be held at Stifel Theatre (formerly known as the Peabody Opera House), which is adjacent to Enterprise Center (formerly known as Scottrade Center) – can be obtained by calling the league office at (314) 444-4300. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Humes finished his UE career in 1966, leading the team to an overall mark of 73-12, three NCAA Tournament appearances and two National Championships.  He was a member of the best team in school history, the 1964-65 NCAA Championship squad, which went a perfect 29-0 with wins over Iowa, Northwestern, Massachusetts and Notre Dame.  Humes was a sophomore on the 1963-64 National Championship team.  He took the time to reminisce about his time at Evansville and truly enjoyed what his teams were able to accomplish.

“Our 1964 team was a special team.  Arad McCutchan used a platoon system where the starters played the first ten minutes, the reserves played the next ten, they then switched off five more minutes each before the best players on the floor saw the final 10 minutes.  Coach McCutchan was so far ahead of his time with how he ran his team,” Humes explained.

He went on to detail the undefeated 1965 squad.

“That season (1965), we pretty much played five guys unless we got into foul trouble: Russ Grieger, Sam Watkins, Jerry Sloan, Herb Williams and myself.  That was a great honor winning back-to-back championships, especially going undefeated,” he explained.  “We played some great teams in the preseason – Iowa, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Southern Illinois and Kentucky Wesleyan, then played our conference schedule.”

“In 1965, we played SIU with Walt Frazier three times.  In the game at Roberts, we were down a point and Coach McCutchan called a time out.  Russ (Grieger) threw the ball down the court and I caught it and shot it over my shoulder.  It hit the front of the rim, then the back and just sat there for a second as time ran out.  It eventually went in and we won, 81-80,” Humes detailed.  “We beat them at their place before winning in overtime in the championship game.  Those were some outstanding memories and accomplishment to do those things.  We wanted to play the Division I champion, we felt like we could beat anyone in the country.”

Following the 1965 season, Humes earned Sporting News Honorable Mention All-America honors, which spanned over all divisions of college basketball.  Additionally, he earned First-Team All-America honors (UPI and AP) for the College Division in 1965 and 1966, and he was an honorable mention pick by the AP in 1964.  He also earned First-Team All-Indiana Collegiate Conference plaudits in 1965 and 1966; and Humes was an NABC All-District 3rd Team selection in 1965 and 2nd Team in 1966.

“We were a big family, we did not care who scored the points, we just wanted to win.  Coach Mac ahead of his time – he got the most out of you and made sure you were in tip top shape.  We were in such good shape that we could go out and play two games in one night if we had to.  The drills and fundamentals he had you do were unbelievable.  He was laying the foundation for your success later in life.”

One of Humes’ closest friends that he teamed up with at Evansville was the great Jerry Sloan.  The pair were the only members of the team who were married at the time and each couple had a child.  That parallel saw Humes, Sloan and their families spend a lot of time together.

“Jerry and I have been friends for 50 years, I just talked to him a month ago.  Jerry was a leader for the Aces.  He was a hard-nosed basketball player, a very dedicated player and person.  He did not care who got the limelight.  He did things to make the team better.  He was a great defensive player, rebounder and a good offensive player,” Humes said when referencing Sloan.  “He was the backbone of the 65 team along with the other four of us.  Jerry just kept everything better and got better as he hit the pros.  His game on offense and defense got better.  He never forgot where he came from; he was a country boy.  Even though he is an NBA Hall of Famer, you would never know it; he treats everyone the same.”

Humes went on to explain that the backbone of his life and career is his beloved wife and high school sweetheart Cecele.  The couple has been married for 56 years.  He also credits his parents for his success.

“My wife is my backbone, if it was not for her encouraging me, I would not have enjoyed the success I have,” Humes said.  “I also need to credit my parents, they were always there for me and pushing me to be the best.”

Following his graduation, Humes went on to enjoy a long teaching and coaching career in Indianapolis both at the high school level and at the University of Indianapolis.  He played at Madison High School, which is between Louisville and Cincinnati.  In four years as a starter, his squad lost just four regular-season games and five overall.  He led his team to the state finals as a senior, falling to Bosse in the 1962 state championship.  Madison defeated Bosse in the regular season that year.

“My mentors really made a difference for me in high school and college.  You need mentors that see something in you.  Coach McCutchan was one of my mentors and my high school coach Bud Ritter was another,” Humes exclaimed.  “He went to Bosse HS and played on 1944 and 45 state championship teams.  Went to Purdue and he was my HS coach and that is the reason I went to Evansville.  He thought it would be the right place for me.  He said it was a small college, good education, great basketball and great fans and a good place for me.”

Humes recently enjoyed an accolade in Madison, Indiana.  He grew up on Elm Street and a few years ago when celebrating his 50th High School Reunion, the street which is five blocks long, was named “Humes Way”.

Coach Ritter’s assistance saw Humes fit right in with the Purple Aces.  He continues to be one of the most celebrated and important players in its history.  He also added a few tidbits on traditions that live on today with UE.

“Coach McCutchan decided to wear white jerseys at home and orange on the road.  The reason for the orange jerseys was because that was the color of the basketball and it was hard for the opponent to see the ball with our bright jerseys,” he explained.  “I also need to set the record straight on the sleeve jerseys.  The reason for that and our robes was to keep us warm.  There was a draft on the floor at Roberts Stadium and those helped us to stay warm and be fresh during the games.”

Humes was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 1991, and he was Indiana’s Mr. Basketball in 1962 while going 97-5 in high school, earning Most Valuable Player honors of the ICC in all three seasons.

“I love Evansville, my heart goes out to them and I want the program to get back to where it deserves to be.  To have a good basketball team, you need to have players.  Our championship teams were able to get guys who had Division I talent and that really made a difference,” Humes referenced when talking about his teammates.  “Dale Campbell was influential in getting Jerry Sloan to come to UE; Jerry started out at Illinois.  Bud Ritter’s history in Evansville made a difference in me.  Sam Watkins and Ed Smallwood both went to Louisville Central and their coach wanted them to attend Evansville.”

“Russ Grieger began his college career at Saint Louis, but came home to Evansville where he played for Bosse High School and Herb Williams’ father was a preacher in Illinois and he really liked Coach McCutchan and felt like he was safest at UE.”

Humes finished by explaining how special it is to earn this type of recognition and that he looks forward to both ceremonies.

The 2020 State Farm MVC Tournament marks a milestone for the league as it will celebrate 30-straight years in St. Louis.  With 30-straight years at the same neutral site, Arch Madness is the second-longest neutral site tenured collegiate tourney in the nation (following only the Big East in New York City).

“The Missouri Valley Conference has always been recognized for the great success of its athletics programs, with a rich history that dates back more than a century,” said Commissioner Doug Elgin. “Our MVC Hall of Fame has provided us with an opportunity to honor the student-athletes, coaches, administrators and contributors who have played important roles in the Conference and in intercollegiate athletics.

“The individuals we will be honoring in the Class of 2020 have brought significant honor to themselves, their institutions and to the Conference. We are truly humbled to have this opportunity to salute them for their achievements.”

University Saves Hundreds Of Thousands With Energy-Efficient Upgrades To Campus

Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren), a CenterPoint Energy Company, presented the University of Evansville with a rebate check for more than $280,000, to account for the energy savings the university incurred from participating in the company’s energy efficiency electric business incentive programs, resulting in energy-efficient upgrades to campus facilities in 2018 and 2019.

UE upgraded the lighting throughout the campus from some mixture of incandescent, T8 fluorescent and high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting to Energy Star® and DesignLights Consortium® approved LED lighting. The upgrades resulted in a 33% reduction from building energy code requirements. Furthermore, it improved the control of their HVAC system by implementing energy efficiency measures including, but not limited to, scheduling the air handling units to operate less during times when space is not occupied, improving the free-cooling capabilities of the air handling units and installing a high-performance laboratory exhaust system.

“We appreciate Vectren’s commitment to ensuring its customers have the opportunity to take advantage of energy-efficient, cost-saving incentives that also decrease our overall energy usage,” said Chad Miller, executive director of facilities management and planning at the University of Evansville. “The energy savings from these upgrades not only affects our bottom line, but also the size of our carbon footprint.”

Examples of eligible electric projects include refrigeration upgrades, outside air control, changes in air distribution/zoning, exterior lighting controls, custom lighting projects, advanced interior lighting controls, and electric heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) projects.

Vectren offers a variety of energy efficiency options for eligible residential and commercial customers. For more information, visit www.vectren.com/saveenergy.

Stop for children, school buses : (from inhousegopblog)
As children return to school and more buses are on the roads, it is important for motorists to know the laws and prioritize safety.When a bus is stopped with its flashing red lights activated and its stop arm extended, drivers are required to stop when approaching a school bus from any direction. If motorists are on a highway that is divided by a barrier or unpaved area, they are required to stop if they are traveling in the same direction as the school bus. If there is no barrier, all lanes in all directions must stop.
While most drivers follow these traffic laws, there are still some who are either unaware or disregard the law completely. In fact, Hoosier bus drivers report an average of more than 2,500 stop-arm violations each day.
Click on Image to Enlarge
To keep young Hoosiers safe and hold motorists accountable, lawmakers passed a law increasing the penalties for individuals who fail to stop when a school bus stop arm is extended. Through the new law, the penalty for injuring or killing someone as a result of recklessly passing a school bus has been increased, which could potentially mean larger fines, and longer jail sentences for violators. A court can also suspend your driver’s license for 90 days, or for a year if it’s your second offense.
For the safety of both children and drivers, it is important to continuously watch out for school buses and the students around them as they return to the roads this month.Click here to see helpful tips for motorists to best keep young Hoosiers safe.
Jump start your child’s learning with On My Way Pre-K

With more than half the available slots already filled, it is important to apply now for On My Way Pre-K, Indiana’s early learning program. Applications are still being accepted from eligible families throughout the state for this school year.

On My Way Pre-K provides grants to 4-year-olds from low-income families to attend a high-quality pre-K program. Nearly 8,000 young Hoosiers have benefited from the program since its creation in 2015.

To apply, families must meet the following eligibility requirements:
Their child must be 4 years old by Aug. 1, 2019, and starting kindergarten in the 2020-21 school year;
Parents or guardians in the household must be working, going to school or attending job training; and
The family must have an income below 127 percent of the federal poverty level.
With school starting and limited spots remaining, I encourage families to act quickly to see if their children are eligible. Click here to apply.
