Complaint Filed Against Deaconess Gateway in Infant Death Case

JULY 30TH, 2018 TYRONE MORRIS INDIANA

Two Tri-State attorneys filed a complaint in federal court in connection to an infant death at Deaconess Gateway Hospital. The complaint was filed two days before what would have been Aerabella Whitfield’s second birthday.

Aerabella was seven-days-old when she died at Deaconess Gateway. She is the daughter of Amanda Moore and Braden Whitfield. According to a report, her mother took Aerabella to the Deaconess Gateway Emergency department because of abnormal rapid breathing.

She was checked out and sent home. Days later, her mother brought her back to the hospital and they determined young Aerabella wasn’t getting enough air.

After she was taken to the pediatric ICU and Aerabella went into full cardiopulmonary arrest. An autopsy showed she died from a narrowed aorta and a large hole in the septum to her heart.

According to the complaint, this type of defect is typically discovered during screening and corrected through surgery.

Projects Under Vectren’s Electric Grid Modernization Plan Continue

0

Crews working for Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana – South (Vectren) continue efforts to upgrade portions of Vectren’s substations and transmission and distribution networks to maintain reliable electric service. Through the next few months, approximately 30 projects – investments of nearly $16 million – will be completed as part of the Smart Energy Future strategy. Projects aimed at upgrading Vectren’s electric infrastructure will continue to take place throughout the southwestern Indiana territory over the electric grid modernization plan’s seven-year period.

When possible, impacted customers will receive direct communication about the upcoming work, especially for projects that require a service interruption. Upcoming projects include:

 Circuit (a specific grouping of poles and lines delivering power) rebuild and conversion projects– upgrading and replacing hardware and equipment on the circuit, which leads to shorter restoration times, a reduction in the number of emergency repairs needed and increased system performance and integrity  

  • Evansville: N. Weinbach circuit (along Walnut Avenue between Weinbach Avenue and Kelsey Avenue) serving 450 customers
  • Evansville: Washington Avenue circuit (bound by Weinbach Avenue, Blackford Avenue, Gum Street and Alvord Boulevard) serving 250 customers
  • Evansville: Union Township circuit (south of Evansville along Seminary Road, Eisterhold Road and Graff Road) serving 300 customers
  • Evansville: Bellemeade circuit (north and south of Bellemeade Avenue between Rotherwood and Weinbach Avenue) serving 370 customers
  • Mt. Vernon: North Main circuit (between Wolflin Street and SR 69, north of Fifth Street) serving 310 customers
  • Newburgh: Newburgh circuit (along SR 662 from Grimm Road to Yorkshire Road) serving 1,100 customers

Underground cable replacement projects – replacing aging underground cable, which leads to a reduction in risk of unplanned outages, faster outage restoration when outages occur and reduced customer interruption duration by sectionalizing the area in need of repair

  • Evansville: Westhaven Hills Subdivision (off of Red Bank Road) serving 110 customers
  • Evansville: Sugar Mill Creek Apartments (south half of apartments, east of Green River Road) serving 450 customers
  • Santa Claus: Christmas Lake (along Melchior Drive in Christmas Lake Village) serving 1,000 customers
  • Richland City: Hodges Subdivision (along Hodges Drive east of SR 161 and south of Richland City) serving 20 customers

Generally, customers will notice projects beginning when crews have placed signage in the area. The duration of these projects usually span two to six weeks, barring weather delays.

YESTERYEAR: Fulton Avenue By Pat Sides

0

Fulton Avenue of Yesteryear

This view of Fulton Avenue, dated 1919, looks north towards West Franklin Street. Most of the buildings pictured are now gone, and the traffic is very light, but today it is one of Evansville’s busiest intersections.

Throughout its history, the street has been a mix of residential and commercial buildings. Lamasco Bank (far left) still stands, but Louis Wolfgang’s drug store across the street is long gone. The tall building visible just beyond the drug store is Fulton School. Constructed in 1870-1871, it was the first city school to be located outside of downtown Evansville, serving the West Side until it closed and was razed in 1973.

Note the brick streets, as well as the streetcar tracks that curve west onto Franklin Street.

SAVANNAH JACK RETURNS TO 421 AT TROPICANA EVANSVILLE!

0

 One of Tropicana Evansville’s most well-received bands is back!  Savannah Jack is performing this weekend at 421 Casino Lounge, Friday and Saturday from 7PM-10:30PM.

You should know, when Kenny Rogers tours, Savannah Jack is his preferred opening act.  In fact, they’ve opened for his show over 66 times!  And Joe Guercio, Elvis Presley’s former Music Director declared Savannah Jack “the best band, hands down, that I have seen in country music today.”

But they aren’t just country.  Their genre defies description.  Led by Don Gatlin, Savannah Jack’s unique style is derived from musical influences like the Eagles, Alabama, Tom Petty, Queen, Restless Heart and the Beatles.

Make no mistake, these guys are world-class entertainment!  Known for three-part harmonies that will send chills down your spine, Savannah Jack’s crowds consistently reward them with standing ovations.

But after the ovation, prepare to stay.  Following the performance, DJ JJ kicks in a high-energy show with all the right tunes to keep you revved up from 11PM-2AM.  No admission fee, just a 2-drink minimum for a night of fun.

For more information, contact Bobbi Warren, Bobbi Warren Productions, at 812-401-0094 or bobbi.warren@att.net.
