Indiana State Police Trooper Competes in CVSA North American Inspectors Championship

Indianapolis, In. – Forty-eight roadside inspectors representing jurisdictions across North America gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Aug. 8-12, 2016, to compete in the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) 24th annual North American Inspectors Championship (NAIC), the only event dedicated to testing, recognizing and awarding commercial motor vehicle inspector excellence.

Each year, CVSA recognizes the best of the best by inviting the top inspector from each jurisdiction throughout North America to participate in NAIC. In addition to the competitive events, each inspector receives training on the latest safety information, technology, standards and inspection procedures.

All of the inspection categories are timed events and the compilation of scores for these categories result in a Grand Champion. The Jimmy K. Ammons Grand Champion Award is the highest NAIC honor for roadside inspectors.

This year, the Grand Champion Award was awarded to Daniel Voelker of the Arizona Department of Public Safety for his combined performances in six competition elements:

  1. North American Standard Level I Inspection
  2. North American Standard Level I Inspection Procedure
  3. North American Standard Hazmat/Transportation of Dangerous Goods Inspection
  4. North American Standard Cargo Tank/Other Bulk Packagings Inspection
  5. North American Standard Level V Passenger Vehicle (Motorcoach) Inspection
  6. North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria Exam

This is the third year that the Indiana State Police Department has sent the winner of the state competition to the national championship. Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement Master Trooper Jeremy Woods, a Randolph County native and 21 year member of the Indiana State Police, placed 19th in this year’s competition and represented the department well. “I thoroughly enjoyed the competition with all of the other representatives from across the North America,” stated M/Trp. Woods. “The different levels and types of inspection and written testing modules enhanced my personal inspection procedures which in turn is an asset to the public.

OTTERS WIN IN EXTRA INNINGS

0

The Otters take game one in extra innings against the Florence Freedom. In the bottom of the eleventh, John Schultz hit a bunt back to the pitcher, then after a wild throw by the pitcher, Josh Allen and Rolando Gomez both ran home to win the game.

Ken Frosch was the winning pitcher of the game to move his record to five and three. Ethan Gibbons, who came in the game in the eleventh, received the loss on the night to move his record to two and three.

Chris Breen started the scoring for the Otters first. In the bottom of the second, with Rolando Gomez on third, Breen hit a ground between third and short to bring home Gomez for a RBI-single. In the top of the second, Wivinis worked himself into a bases loaded jam, but was able to escape the inning giving up zero runs.

In the fifth, the Freedom had their first two hits of the game and put up a run to tie the game one to one. Daneil Fraga would knock in Travis Weaver with a sac hit out in left field. In the seventh, the Freedom would take a two to one lead when Fraga had his second RBI of the game. The Otters would take the lead back in the bottom of the seventh. John Schultz would score after a fielder’s choice and then Chris Breen would score after an error by the short stop.

In the top of the eighth, the Freedom would tie the game three to three. Collins Cuthrell smacked a solo home run over left field. International tie-breaker rules and great base-running by Allen and Gomez led to the Otters’ win.

The Otters take on the Freedom in game two of the three game series Saturday, August 20. First pitch takes place at 6:35pm at Bosse Field. Tickets available at www.evansvilleotters.com or by phone at 812-435-8686 ext. 21.
