Don’t Fall for Harvest Season Hazards

0
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind motorists to exercise caution on our county roadways as fall harvest season gets underway. “Our local farmers will be moving farm implements and other agricultural machinery along county roadways in order to access farm fields,” said Sheriff Dave Wedding. “Motorists should be prepared for machinery to enter a field from the roadway or exit a field onto the roadway.”
Machinery that travels under 25 miles per hour is required to display a slow moving vehicle emblem (see Indiana Code 9-21-9). “Crashes can occur when a motorist fails to recognize that the machinery they are approaching is moving at a significantly slower speed than normal traffic,” said Sheriff Wedding. “The risk of making this miscalculation increases at night.” Sheriff Wedding also reminds motorists, “Don’t attempt to pass slow moving farm equipment unless it is safe and legal to do so.”

October and November is breeding season for the white-tailed deer. Once corn starts being harvested, deer will lose their cover and begin moving across roadways frequently. Last year there were 210 crashes in Vanderburgh County that involved deer and 8 of those crashes resulted in injury. 93 of last year’s crashes that involved deer occured in October and November alone.

“Traffic typically increases on our rural roadways during the fall, especially in areas known for agricultural tourism,” said Sheriff Wedding. Motorists are advised to slow down and watch for increased traffic in the area of Mayse Farm Market on N. Saint Joseph Ave and Goebel Farms on W. Boonville-New Harmony Rd.

“With motorists and farmers sharing the responsibility of keeping our roadways safe this fall, there is no reason expect anything less that a successful harvest,” said Sheriff Wedding.

Fall Harvest Safety Tips:

  • Exercise caution and patience when approaching farm machinery.
  • Farm machinery may enter the roadway at any time, so slow down if you see equipment traveling towards or adjacent to a roadway.
  • Do not pass farm machinery unless it is safe and legal to do so.
  • Farm machinery is typically not equipped with turn signals, so watch for unanticipated left turns and increase your following distance at night.
  • Be aware of increased traffic at agricultural tourism locations.
  • Watch for deer! If you spot one, then expect more to cross.

Four Screaming Eagles finished with seven kills and no worse than a .308 attacking percentage as USI ended a two-match losing streak.

In the opener, USI (9-11) won 15 of the first 20 rallies to build a commanding 10-point lead. The Eagles hit .400 in the first set as they cruised to the 12-point win and one-set lead in the match.

USI benefitted from a 7-1 run in the second set to break a 16-16 tie. Junior middle hitter Te’ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) notched five of her seven kills in the second set as the Eagles held on for the six-point win and two-set lead in the contest.

The Eagles racked up a blistering .647 attacking percentage to rout the Battlers (2-18) in the clincher. USI did not commit a single attacking error as it posted a lopsided 19-point victory.

In addition to Whitfield, who had a .455 attacking percentage, senior middle hitter Amy Zwissler (Bloomington, Illinois), junior outside hitter Shelbi Morris (Brazil, Indiana), and freshman outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey (Floyd Knobs, Indiana) each finished with seven kills.

Eagles’ Crossover win streak ends at six  

0
Northwood (10-7): 3Southern Indiana (8-11): 0

Box Score | Line Score: 25-19, 25-19, 25-21

AURORA, Ill.—University of Southern Indiana Volleyball saw its six-match Crossover winning streak come to a halt Friday as Northwood University handed the Screaming Eagles a 25-19, 25-19, 25-21 setback in the opening match of the 2016 Midwest Region Crossover.

After battling point-for-point for the first portion of the opening frame, the Eagles found themselves on the opposite end of a 6-2 Northwood run that allowed the Timberwolves to forge a 20-13 lead. USI was held to a negative .054 attacking percentage in the first set as it suffered the six-point loss.

Northwood (10-7) used a 7-2 surge in the second set to build another 20-13 cushion. USI cut the deficit to two points with a 6-1 push, but the Timberwolves responded with a 4-0 run to earn another six-point win and a two-set lead in the match.

USI (8-11) jumped out to multiple two-point leads late in the third frame, but a 6-0 Northwood run turned the last of those cushions into a 24-20 deficit the Eagles could not recover from. The Timberwolves hit a blistering .371 in the final stanza as they earned the four-point, match-clinching win.

Junior middle hitter Te’Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) had seven kills and a .417 attacking percentage to lead the Eagles, offensively, while senior setter Quin Shoultz (Columbus, Indiana) had five kills, a .444 attacking percentage, and six digs. Junior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) and junior outside hitter Shelbi Morris (Brazil, Indiana) finished with 23 and 15 digs, respectively, to lead the Eagles’ back row.

The Eagles return to action later today as they take on Alderson Broaddus University at 5:30 p.m. at the Great Lakes Center. USI concludes the Midwest Region Crossover Saturday at 1 p.m. when it takes on Tiffin University.

Off-Duty Sheriff’s Deputy Arrests Armed Robbery Suspect

0
An off-duty Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office deputy is being credited with the arrest of an armed robbery suspect who was being sought by the Evansville Police Department.

Deputy Chris Roe was working an off-duty detail around 6:00pm on Wednesday when he observed a tan 1997 Toyota Camry driving east on Maxwell Avenue. The vehicle matched the description of a vehicle belonging to an armed robbery suspect that the Evansville Police Department (EPD) was attempting to locate. Deputy Roe began to follow the vehicle as he waited for back-up, but the driver stopped in front of him forcing him to perform a traffic stop.

Deputy Roe identified a passenger as armed robbery suspect Christopher T. Britton. With the assistance of an EPD officer, Deputy Roe took Britton into custody. Britton was armed with a fully loaded handgun, which he was wearing in a holster on his hip.

EPD took custody of Britton, who now faces armed robbery charges related to a hold-up that occurred at 2700 Lodge Avenue earlier Wednesday afternoon. During the robbery, Mr. Britton pointed a handgun at a victim and demanded his money.

Britton is currently lodged at the Vanderburgh County Jail and being held on $5000.00 bond.

ARRESTED:

Christopher Thaddeus Britton, 24, of Evansville. Armed Robbery as a Level 3 Felony, Carrying a Handgun without a Permit as a Class A Misdemeanor (Evansville Police Department)

RIECKEN ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY AND IVY TECH STUDENTS TO STAND UP AND DEMAND ANSWERS ABOUT MEDICAL SCHOOL PROJECT

(Riecken Charges That Decision Affects The Integrity Of The Entire Project)

 

Letter To The Editor

Gail Riecken

State Representative District #77

October 13, 2016

Last evening I talked with President Sue Ellspermann about Ivy Tech’s list of proposed capital projects for funding, and the new medical school campus, in particular. I want to publicly thank the President for calling me after her busy schedule.

I appreciate the objective evaluation metric the President’s administration has developed to prioritize their project requests to the Commission for Higher Education.

However, I believe the metric leaves out the importance of the history of Ivy Tech to the IU medical school project in Evansville and the critical relationship the project represents to the entire IU medical school.

I also believe not recommending the project is a breach of trust that legislators should challenge as Ivy Tech was promoted as an integral part of the IU medical school project.

If what I understand is correct, the Ivy Tech projects offered to the Commission in a meeting today did not include Evansville in the top priority for funding.

The decision to not fund Ivy Tech for construction at the medical school campus is a decision that affects the integrity of the entire project.

New concepts in collaborative health care were to be trained and practiced.

The new concepts were to be more effective and efficient in their use of medical personnel.

The forward thinking concept was to improve the health care delivery system of not only southern Indiana but of the entire State.

President Ellspermann said in our conversation that Ivy Tech’s job is to prepare students for the skills that build a future for them in jobs needed for the area. I can’t think of any industry more in need of skilled workers in Indiana than the health care industry.

It is time that we as a community and the students of Ivy Tech stand up and demand answers about what has happened to the IU medical school project that the Ivy Tech project is not slated on the list of priorities from the Ivy Tech administration.

I am asking that Ivy Tech request further education from the medical professionals who designed this project as to what is the health care delivery concept and Ivy Tech’s role envisioned in the design to better understand the concept?

And, I am requesting that a public meeting be held by the Mayor and City Council to hear this explanation as well as information relative to the following.

The Mayor and City Council should explain the dollars that are committed to the IU medical school project.

They should explain why millions of taxpayer dollars will be spent when Ivy Tech won’t be a part, resulting in only 25% of the promised number of students (now around 200) enrolled.

Ivy Tech, alone, was to provide 75% or more of the proposed students at the new facility, a promise that somehow seems to get lost in conversations about the project.

The Mayor and City Council should offer their plan for advocacy locally and in the legislature.

State elected legislators should offer their plan to advocate for funding.

And, Ivy Tech locally should offer how Ivy Tech can be involved in advocacy efforts.

The Ivy Tech project is important.

It is important to Hoosiers who want to see health care needs addressed in Indiana.

It is important to taxpayers who responded with a share of funding for the project.

It is important to students who want the best training and opportunity for their future.

Sincerely,

Gail Riecken
