The Medical Assisting Education Review Board (MAERB) Site Surveyors reported no deficiencies based on their onsite review on October 23 & 24, 2017.
“I am very proud of the faculty and staff at Ivy Tech Community College and their dedication to ensure we are assisting our students with meeting their career goal to become a Certified Medical Assistant, as well as preparing them for their role within the health care industry,†said Ivy Tech Chancellor Jonathan Weinzapfel.
Kyra Hiatt, program chair for the program, explained that medical assisting is an allied health profession whose practitioners function as members of a health care delivery team, performing administrative and clinical procedures. “According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, medical assisting continues to be projected as one of the fastest growing occupations,†Hiatt said.
Indiana University head swimming coach Ray Looze has been named the head men’s coach for Team USA for the 2018 Pan Pacific Championships in Tokyo this August, USA Swimming announced. University of Louisville head coach Arthur Albiero was named the women’s head coach.
“Arthur Albiero and Ray Looze represent two of the top coaches in our country, and we are proud to announce them as Team USA’s head coaches at the 2018 Pan Pacific Championships,†USA Swimming National Team Managing Director Lindsay Mintenko said. “They are leading a new generation of coaches, having proven themselves on numerous occasions with athletes swimming at the highest levels. We feel confident both coaches will continue to build and foster the strong culture of the U.S. National Team.â€
After leading the Hoosiers to a third-place finish at the NCAA Men’s Championships earlier this month, Looze was named the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Coach of the Year for the first time in his career. The nine-time Big Ten Coach of the Year helped the IU swimmers win three NCAA titles – the most for the program in 45 years.
“This appointment is a testament to our teams, staff and swimmers at Indiana University,†Looze remarked. “It is a great honor to represent one’s country and I look forward to coaching in Tokyo this summer. USA Swimming has set the standard of excellence in our sport and we will do our very best to uphold the fantastic results that have been achieved in recent years.”
The third-place finish for Looze and the Hoosiers at the NCAA Championships was the best finish for the program in 43 years. The top-10 finish for the Hoosiers at the NCAA Championships was the sixth in the last seven years. For the third-straight season, Indiana finished as the top Big Ten team at the NCAA Championships – the best stretch for IU since accomplishing the feat for 15-straight seasons from 1964-78.
At the NCAA Championships, Indiana won the 400 medley relay title with a Big Ten record time of 3:01.07. The relay title is the first for the program since 1977, when IU also took home the championship in the 400 medley relay.
Ian Finnerty became the first Hoosier man to sweep the breaststroke events in team history. Finnerty became the first swimmer to break 50-second barrier, winning the 100 breaststroke with the fastest time in history – 49.69. The junior then won the 200 breast with a Big Ten record mark of 1:50.17.
At the 2018 NCAA Women’s NCAA Championships, Looze helped Olympic gold medalist Lilly King win her third-straight NCAA crowns in both the 100 breaststroke and 200 breaststroke.
Indiana became the first program in history to sweep all four NCAA titles in the breaststroke in one season.
In February, Looze led the Hoosier men to the program’s second-straight Big Ten Championship, a first for the team since winning three-straight from 1983-85. The title was the 26th in program history.
At the Big Ten Championships, IU won a total of 24 medals – 14 gold, seven silver and three bronze. Indiana also won four of the five relays at the Big Ten Championships for a second-straight year – a program first. For his efforts, Looze was named Big Ten Men’s Swimming Coach of the Year for the fourth time.
The 2018 Pan Pacific Championships will mark Looze’s sixth appearance as a National Team coach. He most recently served as an Assistant Women’s Coach for the U.S. at the 2017 FINA World Championships and previous roles included Assistant Women’s Coach at the 2016 Olympic Games, 2015 World University Games Head Women’s Coach, 2014 Short Course World Championships Head Women’s Coach, 2011 Duel in the Pool Assistant Men’s Coach and 2009 World University Games Assistant Men’s Coach.
Only two years before the 2020 Olympic Games, the 2018 Pan Pacific Championships present a unique opportunity for National Team athletes to compete and experience the Olympic city prior to the Games.
Established in the mid-1980’s, the Pan Pacific Championships are held under the oversight of the Pan Pacific Swimming Association. The Association is made up of the four founding swimming federations – Swimming Australia, Swimming Canada, the Japan Amateur Swimming Federations and USA Swimming. These charter nations developed the concept of the swimming competition to provide their national teams with first-class international competition between the two major international swimming competitions – the Olympic Games and the FINA World Championships.
Swimmers will qualify for the U.S. roster at the 2018 Phillips 66 National Championships, slated for July 25-29 in Irvine, Calif. The team’s assistant coaches will be named following Nationals.

On April 4th at approximately 4:30pm, Evansville Police and Evansville Fire Department crews were dispatched to the Evansville State Hospital for a water rescue.
Emergency crews arrived and met with witnesses who had pulled a drowning victim from one of the lakes on the hospital grounds. The man was taken to a local emergency room where he was pronounced deceased.
Investigators have determined the man was operating a large riding lawn mower near the lake. Based on observations at the scene, investigators believe the mower lost traction near the edge of the lake and slid into the water. The mower overturned and pinned the man underneath the mower in several feet of water.
Co-workers began searching for the man around 3:45pm when his wife called his employer because he had not returned home from work by his usual time. Investigators believe the man was underwater for an extended period of time before being found.
At this time, the death appears to b e accidental. The man’s name will be released once his extended family has been notified.

Despite out-hitting Murray State, the University of Evansville baseball team could not come up the key knock in the final frame, as the Purple Aces dropped another heartbreaker on the road, falling to the Racers, 11-9, Wednesday evening at Reagan Field.
Evansville seized the early advantage, as senior catcher Andrew Tanous drove freshman designated hitter Pete Vaccaro in the top of the second inning to tally the icebreaker, making it 1-0 Aces.
UE sophomore starting pitcher David Ellis would give way to the bullpen in the bottom of third, and Murray State caught fire. Junior reliever Hunter Porterfield got tagged for three runs on two hits. Senior right hander Jimmy Ward would be called upon to relieve Porterfield, and would give up four runs to the Racers. Sophomore hurler Nathan Croner would give up one more tally before putting out the fire. However, the Aces would find themselves in a 7-1 hole.
Evansville would respond immediately in the top of the fourth, loading up the bases for junior infielder Sam Troyer, who delivered a bunt single that would clear the bases as a throwing error by the third baseman would allow Craig Shepherd, Andrew Tanous and Pete Vaccaro to all cross the plate, drawing the Aces within three, at 7-4.
After Croner gave a run back to Murray State on a bases loaded hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the frame, Evansville sophomore outfielder Troy Beilsmith got it back, ripping an RBI triple to left, scoring Troyer, making the score 8-5 Racers.
Still down three runs in the eighth inning, the Aces would go on a tear. Freshman third baseman Tanner Craig lined a sacrifice fly to center fielder, bringing in Stewart Nelson for one tally. Then, sophomore center fielder Kenton Crews hit a hot shot to shortstop, with the resulting error allowing Sam Troyer to score, drawing Evansville within one, at 9-8. Finally, with two outs, junior outfielder Matt Jones struck out. However, a dropped ball by the Murray State catcher allowed him to take first and let Dalton Horstmeier to tally the equalizer, making it 9-9.
However, in the bottom of the eighth, after Horstmeier, in relief, struck out the first two batters of the inning, allowed the Racers to put the next two batters aboard. Senior closer Ryan Brady came in in relief and proceeded to give up a double down the right field line to second baseman Grant Wood, allowing the go-ahead run to cross. Then an error by Craig, who switched over to first base, would bring in the insurance run for Murray State, making it 11-9 Racers.
Evansville wasn’t finished though, as they loaded up the bases with one out in their final at-bat. However, Horstmeier and Craig struck out to end the would-be rally.
“Dug ourselves too big of a hole, giving up seven runs in one inning”, said University of Evansville head coach Wes Carroll. “Our offense showed great fight to get back in the game, but couldn’t get a zero on the board in winning time to complete the comeback.”
The Purple Aces dropped to 6-16 on the season, while Murray State improves to 15-14.
Up next for Evansville is the Missouri Valley Conference opening series at Missouri State. Game one of the series is slated for Friday at Springfield’s Hammons Field. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
