Early College/Ivy Tech Lecture on Global Warming Set for Tuesday

0

This month’s Early College@Ivy Tech Lecture Series will feature a presentation by Jon Schrage, Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Early College High School math and science teacher. The lecture, “Climate Change: What We Know and How We Know It” will be Tuesday, April 23, at 5:15 p.m. in Vectren Auditorium. It is free and open to the public.

Schrage, who holds a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, said to have a constructive conversation about any controversial topic, all parties need to have a shared set of facts.

“In the context of climate change, a lack of shared facts has historically made meaningful debate difficult. The problem is further compounded by the fact that the methods of modern climatology are highly advanced and technical,” Schrage said, and “members of the public erroneously form opinions about “climate” based on personal experiences of ‘weather.”

In this presentation one day after the official celebration of Earth Day takes place, the nature of our modern state of understanding of climate and climate change will be examined, as well as some of the techniques used to predict future climate trends under different public policy scenarios.

Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Early College High School is located at Ivy Tech Community College, and its students attend Ivy Tech classes, along with regular high school coursework – many completing an Associate Degree while still in high school, or their General Education Core — 30 credits transferrable to any college in Indiana.

Eryn Gould named MVC Player of the Week

0

For the second time in her career, University of Evansville sophomore Eryn Gould has garnered Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week accolades.

Gould had a stellar week for the Purple Aces, batting .444 with a pair of home runs and a .583 on-base percentage to lead UE to a road sweep at Missouri State.  Gould was 4-for-9 with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored.  She added three walks.

“Eryn had a huge weekend at the plate,” Aces head softball coach Mat Mundell said.  “She has been locked in for the past few weeks.  It is good to see her getting the hits to fall.”

In the weekend opener, Gould was 1-3 with a run and RBI in a close 3-1 win.  Gould followed that up with a 2-4 game with a pair of RBI and two runs in an 11-7 win over the Bears.  The performance included a home run.  Her top game came in a 5-4 win on Saturday as she was 1-2 with a grand slam and two walks.  Gould finished the weekend slugging 1.111.

Last season, Gould earned the award on March 26 in a weekend that saw her register six hits in seven at-bats against UNI.

Up next for Gould and the Aces is a trip to Indiana State for a 3 p.m. CT game against the Sycamores.  This weekend, they welcome Valparaiso to Cooper Stadium for the final home games of the year.

 

Kentucky Driver Arrested after Colliding into Trooper’s Patrol Car during Traffic Stop

0

This morning at approximately 10:37, Master Trooper Ken Miller and Senior Trooper Brenda Tubbs were conducting a traffic stop on I-64 eastbound near the 37 mile-marker when the driver of an eastbound Dodge van failed to move over as required by law and sideswiped one of the patrol cars. The patrol car that was struck was unoccupied at the time of the crash. Both troopers were uninjured.

After the crash occurred the driver of the van pulled off onto the emergency shoulder approximately 1//2 mile east of the crash site, exited the vehicle, walked around and then re-entered the vehicle and drove eastbound on I-64. Senior Trooper Tubbs immediately started eastbound on I-64 and noticed the vehicle had exited the interstate and was turning south on SR 61. Tubbs drove south on SR 61 approximately ¼ mile and found the driver had pulled off of the highway on the east side behind trees and brush. The driver was identified as Eduardo Stevenson Gari, 29, of Louisville, KY. Stevenson Gari was arrested for leaving the scene of a crash and taken to the Warrick County Jail where he is currently being held on bond.

Arrested and Charges:

  • Eduardo Stevenson Gari, 29, Louisville, KY
  1. Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Crash, Class B Misdemeanor
  2. Failure to Yield to Stationary Emergency Vehicle

New ‘Face’ of the Delphi Murder Suspect

0

Delphi, Indiana – Early this afternoon Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter spoke with members of the Delphi community and interested media to share the change in direction of the Delphi double murder investigation of Abigail (Abby) Williams and Liberty (Libby) German.  This investigation has been ongoing since the discovery of the girls bodies, the early afternoon of February 14, 2017, in a wooded area near the Delphi Historic Trail, about a half mile upstream from the high bridge.

Today, a new sketch of the suspect, appearing to be in his mid-twenties to mid-thirties and believed responsible for the murders of the girls, was shared with the Delphi community and media. As the investigation has progressed, information has been continuously reviewed and examined and this sketch more accurately depicts the face of the suspect from the video recorded on Liberty German’s cell phone while she and Abigail were on the High Bridge.

Also shared with the Delphi community was more of the audio, as well as previously unreleased video from Libby’s phone.  The sketch, audio and video footage can be viewed at this Indiana State Police website link: https://www.in.gov/isp/delphi.htm

As Superintendent Carter said today, “We have a witness. You made mistakes. We are coming for you and there’s no place for a heartless coward like you to hide that gets his thrill from killing little girls.”

This investigation has been a priority of the Multi-Agency Task Force since the first day of the investigation and will continue to be a priority for all participating law enforcement agencies.

Look at the sketch, listen to the audio, watch how this coward walks on the high bridge and send your tip to this email: Abbyandlibbytip@cacoshrf.com

This is the face of the suspect that goes with body of the video captured on Liberty German’s cell phone minutes before she and Abigail Williams were murdered
