0

 University of Southern Indiana junior leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) drove in three runs and hit a home run in leading the Screaming Eagles to a 5-3 victory over the University of Missouri-St. Louis Tuesday afternoon in St. Louis, Missouri. USI watched its record go to 17-14 overall this spring, while UMSL goes to 10-19.

McNamara ended the game with a three-for-four performance, including a two-run double in the first inning and a solo home run fifth. The junior outfielder leads the Eagles in 2017 with a team-high 24 RBIs and five home runs.

In addition to the offense by provided to McNamara, sophomore catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) ended the scoring in the first inning with an RBI-single, while senior rightfielder Cody Montgomery (Shepherdsville, Kentucky) sealed the USI victory with an RBI single in the sixth.

On the mound, freshman right-hander Tyler Hagedorn (Evansville, Indiana) picked up his first collegiate win. Hagedorn went two innings in relief of sophomore starting left-hander Chase Partain (Evansville, Indiana), allowing only one hit.

Partain went the first four-plus innings, giving up three runs, one earned, on five hits and two walks. The sophomore southpaw held the Tritons scoreless through the first four innings before getting into trouble in the fifth.

Junior right-hander Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) relieved Hagedorn in the seventh, pitching two scoreless innings, before giving way to senior right-hander Justin Watts (Bryan, Ohio) to close out the game. Watts posted his team-best fifth save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.

The Eagles return home this weekend and are hosting McKendree University for a four-game set at the USI Baseball Field. First pitch for Friday’s doubleheader is 2 p.m., while Saturday’s twin bill is set for noon.

USI leads the all-time series with McKendree, 20-12, after taking three of four from the Bearcats on the road last year. The Eagles also have won seven of the last eight meetings over the last two years.

Vectren Reminds Hoosiers To Consider Location Of Utility Lines When Digging, Planting Trees

 Evansville, Ind.  – With the arrival of spring and April being National Safe Digging month, Vectren is reminding Hoosiers who are planning to dig in the yard, conduct construction or engage in any other earth-moving activity, to please call Indiana 811 at least two full working days in advance. By calling 811, residents can have underground utility lines in the work area located and identified at no cost.

“Home improvement projects such as landscaping or installing a fence often bring an increase in accidental and potentially dangerous encounters with underground facilities,” said Brad Ellsworth, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana – South. “We urge everyone planning these excavation activities to call 811 at least two full working days before beginning a project. It’s a simple call that can help avoid serious accidents and a significant financial burden associated with repairing the damaged lines.”

Locating underground facilities prior to excavation is mandated under Indiana law. If a resident fails to notify Indiana 811, proceeds with an unmarked dig and strikes an underground facility, he or she will be responsible for the damages and costs to repair in addition to fines up to $10,000.

Likewise, customers who are planting new trees or shrubs this spring should give careful consideration to the tree’s growth characteristics to avoid future problems with nearby power lines and underground facilities. For more information about natural gas safety or planting the right tree in the right place, click on the Public Safety tab at www.vectren.com.

Gas emergency response

In the event a gas line has been struck or ruptured outside of a home or business, residents are reminded of the following:

·         Leave the area of the gas leak immediately, as well as areas where the odor of gas is noticeable.

·         Do not attempt to re-start or move powered equipment.

·         Call Vectren at 1-800-227-1376 from somewhere other than the location of the gas leak. The party responsible for the damage to the gas line should also call 911 and report the incident to police and/or fire officials and the state’s 811 center.

·         Remain in a safe area until emergency personnel arrive and do not enter the home/business or neighboring premises.

Natural gas contains an odorant called mercaptan that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur. In the event a gas leak is suspected inside of a home or business, residents are reminded of the following:

·         Leave the home or business of the gas leak immediately, as well as areas where the odor of gas is noticeable.

·         Do not use the phone, cell phone, or text anyone while in the building or who may be in the building. If you notice the leak while talking on the phone, do not hang up.

·         Do not turn any lights, appliances or any electrical sources on or off.

·         Do not light matches.

·         Do not open or close windows.

·         Do not start a vehicle if it’s parked in a garage that’s attached to the home/business of the suspected leak nor utilize an automatic garage door opener upon exiting.

·         The activities listed above could trigger an ignition if gas has significantly accumulated.

·         Call Vectren at 1-800-227-1376 from somewhere other than the location of the gas leak.

·         Remain in a safe area until emergency personnel arrive and do not re-enter the premises.

Please note: There is no charge to the customer for calling Vectren to inspect a potential gas leak. Vectren will respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Staying Engaged, informed And Connected By Ron Bacon

Staying Engaged, informed And Connected By Ron Bacon

Recently, a letter was published in the local newspaper stating that I’m not available to listen to my constituents.

I’m made aware of every phone call, email and letter I receive. As a public servant, I depend on feedback from the citizens living in House District 75. I value input from those who are impacted by the policies being considered. In fact, many of the laws passed in Indiana are the result of constituents reaching out to their representative.

Throughout the legislative session, which begins in January every year, I hold local town hall meetings every month. Town halls occurring in my district are my top priority, but I do like to attend town halls in the surrounding counties. So far I have had two town halls in Vanderburgh County and town halls in Evansville, Newburgh, Booneville and Rockport. I was scheduled to attend a town hall in Pike County, but unfortunately was unable to attend due to a death in my family.

For those unable to attend these meetings, I can also be reached by calling 317-232-9833 and emailing h75@iga.in.gov. In addition, I send regular legislative mailings to each household in the district, including a survey asking for voters to weigh in on issues facing the state, and weekly email updates to those who want to remain engaged and informed. These email updates allow constituents to respond directly to me, as well.

Online at iga.in.gov, every legislative committee hearing and session proceeding is streamed live. Vote tallies, reports and calendars are also available, which reflects our dedication to transparency.

Thank you to all of those who have played an active role in the democratic process by sharing their thoughts with their elected officials. Your voices are heard.

I am working right now to schedule a session wrap-up town hall in Chandler once the General Assembly adjourns for the year. Once this is scheduled, I will keep you updated on the date, time and location.

Governor Signs Local Lawmakers’ Bill Fighting Cervical Cancer

0

Gov. Eric Holcomb today signed into law State Reps. Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) and Wendy McNamara’s (R-Evansville) bill to reduce the number of cervical cancer deaths in Indiana.

According to the Indiana Cancer Consortium, approximately 250 new cervical cancer cases and 86 cervical cancer-related deaths occur annually among women in Indiana. House Enrolled Act 1278 requires the Indiana State Department of Health to develop a statewide strategic plan to decrease Indiana’s cervical cancer mortality rate. The state would work to identify barriers to cervical cancer prevention, screening and treatment, develop public and private partnerships to increase cervical cancer awareness and recommend actions to reduce the number of Hoosier deaths associated with the disease.

“It is imperative we take the necessary steps to reduce the amount of women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer in Indiana,” McNamara said. “Raising awareness about this very preventable disease will help inform women and avoid unnecessary deaths as a result of cervical cancer.”

The new law requires ISDH to submit a report outlining their plan to the governor and General Assembly by Dec. 31, 2018.

“Prevention and early detection are key to successful treatment of cervical cancer,” Sullivan said. “We will be creating a plan, with the help of ISDH and the medical community, to educate women in Indiana about the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer, along with raising awareness about prevention.”
