Evansville Water and Sewer Utility to Demonstrate New CCTV Trucks for Cub Scout STEM Field Trip

0

 

The Evansville Water and Sewer Utility (EWSU) will demonstrate a new CCTV truck for Cub Scout Pack 383 from Aldersgate United Methodist Church. The demonstration will be held this Saturday, August 31, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the EWSU Operations and Engineering Facility, 1931 Allens Lane.

 The Cub Scouts are learning various ways science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are used in jobs today, which is one of the requirements to achieve the Cub Scout Supernova Award. The field trip will allow them to see how robotics and electronics enable utility workers to look inside pipes underground without physically entering the pipeline.

“We want to expose Cubs to how important STEM is in everyday jobs,” said Cub Master Keith Penney, who is an EWSU accountant. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects STEM-related jobs will grow to more than nine million by the year 2022.

Two new state-of-the-art closed circuit TV trucks were added to the EWSU fleet earlier this month to perform pipeline video inspections. The CCTV trucks were built with input from utility employees, resulting in a more user-friendly sewer inspection vehicle.

EWSU Technical Services Manager Andrew Peters said one of the CCTV trucks will be used to televise and inspect a pipe at the EWSU property on Allens Lane. Media coverage of the demonstration is welcome. Reporters are asked to introduce themselves to Peters upon arrival on site.

Taylor Lane followed with another RBI single that scored Ryan Long from second, giving the Otters’ an early 2-0 lead.

Welch would be in full control from there, showing his dominance on the mound. He retired nine straight batters at one point from the first inning into the fourth inning.

In the middle innings of the game, Gateway able to sprinkle a few singles off Welch, but he wasn’t fazed and didn’t let those hits turn into runs.

The Otters’ offense added two more runs behind Welch on a sac fly by Mike Rizzitello in the seventh and another sac fly by Taylor Lane in the eighth, making the score 6-0 Otters.

Welch exited the game after the eighth inning, allowing no runs, giving up seven hits, and striking out a dozen. Tuesday was the second time this season Welch recorded 12 strikeouts. He earned the win, improving his record to 8-5.

Grizzlies starter Chris Carden threw four innings, allowing four runs-three earned-on six hits with five strikeouts. He would take the loss, dropping his record to 7-5.

Lane finished 2-2 with two RBIs and two walks for the Otters, and MacNamee reached base three times with a hit and two walks. MacNamee also tallied an RBI and scored a run.

With the win on Tuesday and Southern Illinois’ loss, the Otters’ magic number to clinch a postseason berth is down to two.

Vanderburgh County – This afternoon at approximately 3:24, Trooper Fulton was patrolling US 41 near St. George Road when he observed the driver of a 1995 Honda Accord traveling south in a reckless manner. The vehicle was clocked by radar at 82 mph and was swerving in and out of traffic. Trooper Fulton stopped the vehicle just north of Lynch Road and discovered the driver and passenger had knife wounds and were traveling to an Evansville Hospital for treatment. The driver was identified as Sean Keith, 30, of Evansville and his passenger was identified as Stephanie Marshall, 28, of Evansville. Both individuals were transported to Deaconess Midtown Hospital in Evansville.

Further investigation revealed Keith and Marshall were driving in northern Vanderburgh County when an argument erupted between the two of them.

Ascension St. Vincent In Evansville And Perry County Memorial Hospital 
Sign Management Services Agreement

0

Ascension St. Vincent in Evansville and Perry County Memorial Hospital (PCMH) are pleased to announce the finalization of their management services agreement (MSA) first announced in January 2019. This MSA provides PCMH and Ascension St. Vincent the opportunity to enhance and expand services, ensuring members of the Perry County community have access to the care they need, close to home.  

With aligned missions and shared philosophies on delivering quality, compassionate and personalized care, Ascension St. Vincent and PCMH are committed to working collaboratively for the benefit of patients and their families in the surrounding communities. “The affiliation with Ascension St. Vincent provides PCMH access to a successful and large national healthcare system’s resources and expertise,” stated Brian Herwig, President and CEO of PCMH. “These resources enable PCMH to continue to focus on improving patient access to primary care and specialty physician services, improving our operating systems, lowering our healthcare costs, and establishing a strong, local referral option for patients needing additional specialized care.”  

Michele Howard, Vice President of Nursing Services, said: “Having a clinical affiliation with a larger hospital brings the sharing of best practices to improve patient safety and the overall patient experience. Our goal is to be the healthcare provider of choice for our community, and this agreement will help us in accomplishing just that.” 

The agreement does not involve the purchase of assets, and both systems will remain independent while working collaboratively with physicians, clinicians and other providers delivering care for Perry County and the surrounding communities. PCMH will continue to be governed by its local hospital board of directors and led by its existing administrative team.

“This new management agreement continues to strengthen our commitment to providing local access and exceptional care to Perry County,” said Dan Parod, President of the Southern Region for Ascension St. Vincent. “Ascension St. Vincent and PCMH are strategically working together to seek innovations in care, improve quality and provide greater access to the services Perry County residents tell us they need.” 

J.B. Land, PCMH Board Chair, said: “We are pleased to have officially signed the management services agreement with Ascension St. Vincent. The affiliation will allow us to provide additional medical services to the citizens of our community while continuing to offer the high-quality healthcare that everyone
