JUST IN: IU’s King Named Big Ten Swimmer of the Year

1

Indiana University junior Lilly King continues to make history, as she was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Year for a record third-straight season on Tuesday, the conference office announced.

The six-time NCAA champion and 12-time Big Ten champion is the first woman in league history to not only be named Swimmer of the Year three-consecutive years, but also the first to earn the accolade three times overall.

The honor is the ninth in program history, as a Hoosier has earned the award eight of the last 10 years – King (2016-18), Brooklynn Snodgrass (2014), Lindsay Vrooman (2013), Allysa Vavra (2012) and Kate Fesenko (2009-10).

At the NCAA Championships last week, King continued her dominance of the breaststroke events, winning her third-straight NCAA title in both the 100 and 200 breast. King reset the record books in both events, setting American, NCAA, NCAA Meet, U.S. Open, McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion pool and IU school records with times of 56.25 in the 100 breast and 2:02.60 in the 200 breast.

King also helped the Hoosiers earn the two best finishes for the program in relays at the NCAA Championships. IU placed second in the 400 medley relay and third in the 200 yard medley relay.

At the Big Ten Championships in February, King was named First-Team All-Big Ten after winning her third-straight crowns in both the 100 and 200 breast. The Evansville, Ind. native also won a gold medal with the 400 medley relay and a silver medal with the 200 medley relay.

City Says Federal Funds Were Not Used in Alleged Embezzlement

City Says Federal Funds Were Not Used in Alleged Embezzlement

MARCH 19TH, 2018 Lauren Leslie LAUREN LESLIE EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

 The city entity that distributes funds to ECHO Housing Corporation says unequivocally, it can confirm no federal dollars were used to pay Stephanie Tenbarge’s property taxes.

Last week ECHO announced, then, Executive Director Tenbarge was stepping down. On Friday we learned the former director used ECHO funds to pay taxes on personally owned properties.

Kelley Coures with the Department of Metropolitan Development says the city uses a check reimbursement system when distributing federal funds. Additionally, the federal government tracks where the dollars go, “HUD requires us to not only pay the claims based on reimbursable but then once a year my staff, three people from my staff, go to an agency like ECHO and they make sure their books match our books,” said Course.

The last time the city checked its records with ECHO was in October 2017 and everything matched up. ECHO provides housing and assistance to people in economic crisis. Going forward the Department of Metro Development says it will continue to work with interim director Chris Metz.

Evansville Police say there is no criminal investigation into Tenbarge’s alleged actions at this time.

Partnership Aims To Get Addicts Connected To Treatment

Partnership Aims To Get Addicts Connected To Treatment

March 20, 2018

INDIANAPOLIS — A new partnership will provide Hoosiers struggling with substance abuse a quick way to seek treatment.

Technology from OpenBeds and Indiana 2-1-1’s database of service providers from will be combined to connect people with real-time addiction treatment options.

“The mental health crises we are currently experiencing has many similarities to a natural disaster,” Jennifer Walthall, secretary for Family and Social Services Administration, said. “In order to provide services effectively and efficiently, we need to have a command center to have a global and real-time assessment of resources for individuals in their time of great need.”

OpenBeds is a software platform that helps government health agencies increase access to behavioral health care and decrease costs. Indiana 2-1-1 works to produce healthcare and resource referrals.

Steve Carroll, chief business development officer for OpenBeds, said a social worker at a community health center can access the platform to find specific residential treatments for the substance or substances a patient may be struggling with. By filling out criteria, the worker can narrow a list of 50 treatment centers down to three treatment centers.

“The beauty of this system is that we are embedding not just software but the human component of referral into how we take care of individuals in their moment of need,” Walthall.

Since January of 2017, Walthall said 23 new addiction providers have been certified and 10 currently have applications pending. As of today, she said we currently have 251 active addiction providers and are in the process of adding five new opioid treatment programs.

She said 2-1-1 will also provide ongoing tracking and wrap around services for individuals who enter treatment to aid in sustaining their treatment.

Julie Johns-Cole, state director for Indiana 211 Partnership, said 2-1-1 was a perfect fit for this partnership.

“Not only can we connect individuals to treatment, we can connect them to thousands of services to assist them and their loved ones through this very difficult journey,” she said. “Taking a very holistic approach before, during and after treatments.”

Dr. Krista Brucker, who works in the emergency department at Eskenazi Hospital, said open beds has helped Eskenazi’s program link overdose survivors to treatment services. She said connecting people to help can require multiple phone calls, e-mails and even faxes to get people care.

She said OpenBeds has taken the process of matching a patient’s needs and insurance status from a process that used to last an hour to a process that now takes 2-3 minutes.

“It’s about expanding access to services, but it’s also about using the services that we have more efficiently,” she said

Walthall said the partnership, which went live Thursday, had their first referral happen two days ago.

“The feedback that we got from 2-1-1 and the referrer was that it was the easiest thing they had ever done,” she said.
