UE wraps up strong week in Florida

 ORLANDO, Fla. – In the final two matches of their trip to Florida, the University of Evansville women’s tennis team earned a split on Thursday.  The Purple Aces defeated South Dakota by a final of 4-3 before falling to Furman, 7-0.

Head coach Jayson Wiseman was proud of his squad in the win over South Dakota

“This was a good win against a tough South Dakota team. We came out aggressive and ready to play and we’re able to secure the doubles point,” Wiseman said.  “That point was huge because USD fought back hard and took three of the singles matches. Andrea & Daria did a great job of securing the win for us at 4 & 6 singles with straight set wins.”

Wiseman commented on how facing a good team like Furman will pay dividends down the road.

“This match was a good learning experience for our team. Furman is a top 50-60 team in the country and they showed it tonight,” Wiseman added.  “We put up so good fight at third doubles, fifth singles, and sixth singles but ultimately they proved to be the better team today. Despite the loss this is a good match for us to see the level we are looking to build towards.”

UE’s win over South Dakota featured a nice start in doubles as Chieko Yamada and Theodora Soldatou earned a 6-1 win in the top flight while Diana Tkachenko and Nicoli Pereira won by a 6-3 tally in the second flight.

The Aces clinched the match by splitting the six singles points, including Tkachenko taking down Barbora Kollarova at #2 singles, 6-1, 6-3.  Daria Pentsova was victorious in the fourth flight, defeating Nanette Nylund, 6-1, 7-5.  Andrea Pascual-Larrinaga grabbed the win at #6 singles, beating Maria Pandya, 6-3, 6-2.

On Sunday, the Aces remain on the road in Cape Girardeau, Mo. where they will take on SEMO at 9 a.m. and Maryville at noon.

Intoxicated Habitual Traffic Violator Drives over Grave Stones, Flees from Deputy

0
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has arrested an intoxicated habitual traffic violator after observing him drive over grave markers at Sunset Memorial Cemetery.
On Wednesday, March 08, 2017 at approximately 8:00 PM a sheriff’s deputy was parked in the Sunset Funeral Home and Memorial Park cemetery on Saint George Road when she observed a blue 1994 Buick Century approach at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was traveling north on Hitch and Peters Road, but failed to stop for the stop sign at Saint George Road. The vehicle ramped over the intersection and entered the exit lane of the cemetery while still traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle skidded onto the cemetery lawn and began running over grave markers. The vehicle then accelerated, crashing through a hedge bush and completing a loop of approximately 400 yards.

The vehicle sped past the sheriff’s deputy and exited the cemetery. The deputy activated her flashing lights and sirens and pursued the vehicle east on Saint George Road. The vehicle fled for approximately a half a mile before stopping in a parking lot at the intersection of Ward Road. The driver of the vehicle, Mr. Matthieu Resseguie, was then taken into custody without incident.

Fortunately the numerous grave markers that the vehicle drove over were flush to the ground, so only the raised planters mounted to the stones were destroyed. The surfaces of at least six marker stones sustained damage as well as much of the cemetery landscaping.

Mr. Resseguie showed obvious signs of intoxication, but refused to submit to field sobriety tests nor did he consent to a chemical test. A check of Mr. Resseguie’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles driving status revealed that he is a Habitual Traffic Violator.

Mr. Resseguie was taken to an area medical treatment facility for a laceration he sustained to his face during the crash. Once cleared medically, he was booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail.

ARRESTED:

Matthieu Wayne Resseguie (picture dated 12/2015), 35, of Evansville. Cemetery Mischief as a Level 6 Felony, Operating a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated with Test Refusal as a Class A Misdemeanor, Resisting Law Enforcement as a Level 6 Felony, Operating while Habitual Traffic Violator as a Level 6 Felony, Operating without Insurance as a Class C Misdemeanor, Hit and Run / Leaving the Scene as a Class B Misdemeanor, Reckless Driving as a Class C Misdemeanor, Failure to Appear Warrant

Presumption of Innocence Notice: The fact that a person has been arrested or charged with a crime is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.

After 28 Hours of Debate, Dr. Bucshon Votes to Advance the American Health Care Act

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Following nearly 28 hours of debate in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. voted to approve legislation as a part of the process to repeal Obamacare and replace it with patient-centered reforms that drive down costs and expand access to quality health care.

“We are on a rescue mission and if we don’t act now, families across the country will have nowhere to go as Obamacare continues in a death spiral,” said Bucshon.

 

“The American Health Care Act repeals the big-government mandates and costly taxes in the law and replaces it with common-sense reforms that lower costs, expand access, and uphold critical patient protections like coverage for preexisting conditions.

 

“This is truly a historic opportunity to fulfill our promise to the American people and we are committed to a thoughtful, transparent process to ensure we get this right on behalf of patients across the country. Our hearings this week represent the first step in the process to begin a stable transition to a patient-centered health care system.”

 

The American Health Care Act is undergoing a weeks-long, open and transparent process that includes the work of four separate House committees. This week, the legislation advanced through both the Energy and Commerce Committee, of which Dr. Bucshon is a member, and the Ways and Means Committee.

Dr. Bucshon Participates in Legislative Hearing on Obamacare Repeal and Replace Bill

1

Starting now, Eighth District Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. participates in a Congressional hearing on legislation introduced this week to repeal Obamacare and replace it with patient-centered reforms that drive down costs and expand access to care.

 

The American Health Care Act was introduced in the House of Representatives this week and will be debated today in hearings held by the Energy and Commerce Committee, which Dr. Bucshon is a member of, and the Ways and Means Committee.

“Obamacare is failing by just about every measure. Out-of-pocket costs are skyrocketing for families and choices are being limited as insurers continue to drop out.  If we don’t act now, the law will almost certainly collapse and leave patients across the country with nowhere to go. As a physician who spent my career caring for patients, I firmly believe that inaction would be irresponsible and immoral. So we’re on a rescue mission,” said Bucshon.

“This week, we introduced our legislation, the American Health Care Act, to deliver relief to millions of Americans struggling under the Obamacare disaster. Our legislation helps drive down costs, expand access to quality, affordable care, and upholds critical patient protections like coverage for preexisting conditions. It ensures that no one will have the rug pulled out from under them, but also doesn’t send the IRS after patients who make the choice to not buy insurance.

“Today’s hearing is a step forward in this open, transparent process to get a final bill to President Trump’s desk. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House, the Senate, and the Trump Administration to deliver on our promise to repeal and replace Obamacare.”

The hearing, which kicked off shortly after 10:30am ET, can be viewed live here:https://goo.gl/qOAvTv.

Indianapolis, IN- The Indiana State Police recently promoted Paulita Thomason to the position of Indianapolis Regional Laboratory Manager.

Paulita graduated from Rockcastle County High School in Mount Vernon, Kentucky in 1989.  She attended Eastern Kentucky University and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Forensic Science in 1994.

She began her career with the Indiana State Police in 1995 in the Trace Evidence Unit and performed casework in Fire Debris and Fiber Analysis.  In 1997, she transferred into the Biology Unit where she worked Serology, DNA and Bloodstain Pattern Interpretation cases until her recent promotion.

Thomason now serves as the Laboratory Manager for the Indianapolis Regional Laboratory.  She has oversight for maintaining the evidence system within the Laboratory Division which includes evidence submissions from countless law enforcement agencies in central Indiana.  She also has managerial responsibility for the evidence clerks and photo technician who are assigned to the Laboratory.

“We look forward to having Paulita serve as our new Laboratory Manager at our Indianapolis facility, stated Indiana State Police Laboratory Division Commander Major Steve Holland.  “She has a background in our Biology Section that went beyond casework, to include laboratory related instruction at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and Crime Scene Investigator training around the state. She maintains interactions with the various components of our Indiana Criminal Justice System and is well respected.”

Paulita resides in Shelby County with her three children, Kennedy, Chandler and Brayden.  .
