An Evening With Harry Connick, Jr.
VHS’ SECOND CHICAGO TRANSPORT OF 2016 TO SEND 40+ CATS AND 2 DOGS TO WINDY CITY THANKS TO ASPCA/SUBARU GRANT
Â
 The Vanderburgh Humane Society has finalized another lifesaving transport to other shelters with more space in Chicago. More than 40 cats/kittens and 2 dogs will be hitting the road early on Wednesday morning, March 16th at around 5:00 am. This is the second Chicago transport of 2016 and one of many that VHS has done over the past few years.
Chicago, Illinois has had huge success in reducing pet overpopulation in the area thanks to targeted spay/neuter programs offered by many large organizations. They saw a 69% reduction in the number of euthanized animals from 1997 to 2010 and the number has continued to decrease dramatically in recent years, according to PAWS Chicago, one of many animal welfare organizations that offers low-cost spay & neuter. Additionally, Chicago is a large city with many high-rise apartment buildings. Since cats are ideal apartment pets, the “demand†for cats is much higher there than in a city like Evansville. That, coupled with a larger population in general, means that there is a much larger pool of adopters for cats in the Chicago area. For VHS kitties, this is great news!
VHS has partnered with several Chicago area organizations for years. One of these, Felines & Canines, Inc. in the heart of Chicago itself, typically welcomes cats from VHS with open arms several times a year. They accept adult cats up to 7 years old, the age range in which the vast majority of VHS cats fall. Here in Evansville, kittens get adopted within hours or minutes while adult cats sometimes wait on homes for months. Transports like this secure a bright future for these adult cats whose fate is much more uncertain here.
This transport is particularly special. In late 2015, the Vanderburgh Humane Society was one of 49 organizations awarded the ASPCA & Subaru Share the Love Event “Rescue Ride†grant. VHS was awarded $5,000 to cover the cost of transports just like this. The funds help to underwrite the costs of preparing each cat for transport, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, testing, and deworming. The grant provides money for transportation costs such as gas and road tolls. Additionally, VHS receives no compensation or adoption fees for cats who are sent to rescue. The $5,000 also helps to make up the lost adoption fee since caring for each cat typically costs the Humane Society anywhere between $200 and $400+.
On Wednesday morning, 15 adult cats will go to Felines & Canines and several mother cats with litters of kittens will go to Animal House Shelter in Huntley, Illinois thanks to the Rescue Ride grant. Two dogs who have had a harder time getting adopted at VHS, Cosmo and Harper, will also be hitching a ride to Animal House at VHS’ expense.
Despite receiving a grant, VHS encourages the public to remember more than 2,000 other animals that pass through the shelter’s doors each year. Vanderburgh Humane is not funded in any way by taxes or consistent funding from ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States. (Any grant funding received is a one-time disbursement, must be applied for, and is restricted to the terms outlined in the grant.) The VHS depends solely and completely on the generosity of the community to survive and continue its lifesaving programs. Donate at www.vhslifesaver.org, by phone at (812) 426-2563, or text “VHS†to 20222 to donate $10. (Standard message & data rates apply.)

Adopt A Pet
Oink! Do you need a dog that doesn’t bark or shed? Why not adopt a pig? It’s basically the same thing! Piggly Wiggly is not yet housetrained, but pigs learn pottytraining fairly easily. He’s about 6 months old, and already neutered & vaccinated. His adoption fee is $350 (his vet bills alone are $400+.) He cannot be adopted within Evansville city limits per city ordinance, but any indoor-only home outside city limits is welcome to apply.

Midweek DH at Murray State moved to Thursday
Aces and Racers to meet up on Thursday at 4/6 p.m.
  With Missouri Valley Conference play set to begin on Saturday, the University of Evansville softball team will have one last tune-up on Thursday as they head to Murray State for a doubleheader.
Originally set for Wednesday, the doubleheader has been pushed back a day in order to improve playing conditions. Game one will begin at 4 p.m. on Thursday with the second starting at roughly 6 p.m.
Evansville played in the Indiana Classic over the weekend in Bloomington, falling just short in the finale against the Hoosiers. IU posted two runs in the first inning, but the Aces pitching staff held them scoreless for the duration of the contest. A solo shot by Chandra Parr brought the Aces within one, but IU held on for the 2-1 win.
In Evansville’s three games in the Indiana Classic, Parr batted .429 for the Purple Aces. She drew a walk in the weekend opener against Indiana before starting Sunday off with a 1-for-3 performance against Ohio University. Her best game of the weekend came in the finale versus the Hoosiers where she posted two of the Aces’ four hits, going 2/3 with a solo home run in a 2-1 loss.
One of the top pitchers in the Missouri Valley Conference kept it rolling over the weekend, throwing 8 2/3 scoreless innings. Morgan Florey pitched in both games on Sunday for the Aces, including 2 2/3 innings against the Bobcats. She struck out five batters and gave up two hits. In six innings against Indiana University, she held the Hoosiers off the board while striking out six more batters in her time in the circle.
Murray State comes into the matchup with an 8-10 mark, splitting games over the weekend against Ball State and Jacksonville.  Jessica Twaddle is the top offensive threat for the Racers, batting .411 and slugging .625 for MSU. She also reached base a team-best 48.4% of the time. She also paces the Racers with 9 RBIs and 7 doubles.
In the circle, the 1-2 punch of Mason Robinson and Haven Campbell had recorded ERA’s of 2.12 and 2.30, respectively.
This weekend, the Purple Aces will play at home for the first time this season, opening conference play on Saturday with a 12 p.m. doubleheader against Drake.

Years of continued hard work have led us to this point when we can all celebrate in the accomplishment of achieving our first Magnet® Redesignation.
“This has truly been a team effort, and I would like to thank anyone and everyone who has had a hand in our Magnet® Redesignation journey,†said Darcy Ellison, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Sr. Vice President of Clinical Operations and Chief Nursing Officer for St. Mary’s Health. “I am very proud to work among such a high caliber family of nursing and healthcare professionals dedicated to providing the highest quality, personalized care. Each and every one of them has made this possible once again.â€
As a Magnet® Redesignated facility, St. Mary’s is among a very elite group. Approximately 7% of all registered hospitals in the United States have achieved ANCC Magnet® Recognition status. It is a clear testament to our community that St. Mary’s places the care of our patients at the center of what we do by creating an environment where our staff are empowered to provide the highest quality care. St. Mary’s is part of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system.
According to the ANCC, “Recognizing quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice, the Magnet® Recognition Program provides consumers with the ultimate benchmark to measure the quality care that they can expect to receive.â€
