Heritage Open will help bring smiles to children

Golfers Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D., Kathryn Bucshon, Connie Dauch and Accuride Corporation CEO Rick Dauch at the 2013 Heritage Open.

If you haven’t signed up already, break out your golf clubs and join us on Monday, June 9th for the St. Mary’s Medical Center Foundation’s 34th Annual Heritage Open Golf Tournament. The tournament will be held at the Evansville Country Club and will offer two tee times for golfers, a morning flight at 7:00 a.m. and an afternoon flight at 12:15 p.m. The net proceeds from this year’s Heritage Open will help fund the purchase of a new St. Mary’s Mobile Dental Clinic.

 

The Mobile Dental Clinic served over 1,200 children’s visits in Vanderburgh County in its inaugural year in 2000. The need for pediatric dental care has grown and so has the Clinic, which served over 3,800 children’s visit’s in six counties last year. The new Mobile Dental Clinic will feature three operatories (chairs), compared to two on the current Clinic, allowing us to treat even more children in Southern Indiana.

We hope you will join us for a day of golf, wonderful food and fellowship to raise funds to provide dental care for children in our community. Even if you don’t golf, there are opportunities to participate through a company or individual sponsorship. To view the various sponsorship levels, please click here. Spots are filling up, so make your reservation today by calling Brooke Wagner at (812) 485-5850 or email brooke.wagner@st.marys.org.

Indiana’s workforce pipeline

Ron BaconIndiana’s workforce pipeline

 

On Thursday, a subcommittee of the EVV Crane I-69 innovation corridor met in Evansville to conduct a roundtable discussion about what this group is doing to benefit the community and region. I was able to join in the conversation alongside other local state representatives and companies such as Sabic Innovative Plastics, Toyota, Berry Plastics, Koch Industries and Babcock and Wilcox, all of which call southern Indiana home. Essentially, this meeting brought together many key stakeholders in order to brainstorm a solution to one of Indiana’s most pressing issues, the skills gap.

 

Across the country, many are concerned about the lack of jobs available to them. However, here in Indiana, we have the opposite problem. In fact, some estimate the number of available jobs to be as high as 100,000! This is particularly true in the manufacturing sector.

 

While this is excellent news, the significant challenge that we are facing is that too few Hoosiers have the advanced skills and technical training necessary to compete for new careers in some of Indiana’s top industries. According to data from Conexus Indiana, it would take 17 years’ worth of high school graduates just to make up for the projected number of manufacturing sector retirements in the next five to seven years. This makes it very clear that manufacturers need a highly-skilled workforce to fill available positions in this technical industry.

 

Working to address this issue, I was happy to support House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1003. During the 2014 legislative session, HEA 1003 was an agenda bill, meaning we made it one of our top priorities to formulate, perfect and sign into law so that Hoosiers could begin to see its positive effects.

 

Specifically, this new law allows the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) to award grants to schools that choose to develop and implement partnerships with businesses. These partnerships would include internships and apprenticeships that provide students with real-world experience in their field of study. This legislation also allows the IEDC to award a tax credit to businesses that hire students who have gone through this cooperative program between the business and the college/university.

 

I was also very proud to support HEA 1064, which deals with career and technical education (CTE) programs. This legislation requires the Indiana Career Council to study CTE programs across Indiana, specifically focusing on the return on investment and utilization of these programs. This review is being conducted in the hopes of improving these programs and encouraging more students to pursue industry certifications.

 

Along with these new laws, one way to address the skills-gap is by obtaining a college education. However, higher education is not always right for everybody. In fact, I never went to college. After high school, I received certification through a respiratory therapy school at Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, and since then, I have built a successful business and have the distinct honor of serving as your state representative. I still encourage everyone to pursue higher education, but whether that means obtaining a bachelor’s or associate’s degree or industry certification, that is for you to decide.

 

If Indiana wants to remain competitive, it is important that we train unemployed Hoosiers with the proper skills necessary to find employment in today’s most competitive, high-wage fields. I remain committed to this cause both as a state representative and as a member of our community. I look forward to participating in more events like this in the future, and I sincerely commend this subcommittee for taking the lead on such an important issue facing our Hoosier state.

Eagles outlast Hawks, advance in GLVC Tourney

BB-Caleb Eickhoff

Senior infielder Caleb Eickhoff, who was 2-of-3 against Quincy, drove in the game-winning run in the 10th inning Friday.

Dan McDonnell, USI Sports Information

#8 Southern Indiana (41-9): 2
Quincy (27-25): 1

Senior infielder Caleb Eickholf had a one-out, RBI-single in the top of the 10th inning and junior shortstop/pitcher Matt Chavarria pitched a scoreless bottom 10th as the No. 8 University of Southern Indiana baseball team outlasted Quincy University, 2-1, Friday to advance to the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament semifinal.

After the two teams battled through seven consecutive scoreless innings, the Screaming Eagles broke through as sophomore outfielder Hamilton Carr began the 10th inning with a lead-off walk.

Senior infielder/pitcher Matt Bowles, who went to the dish as a pinch hitter, followed with a bunt-single to put runners at first and second with no outs.

Two batters later, following a fielder’s choice that saw Carr thrown out at third base, Eickhoff roped a 0-1 pitch through the left side of the infield, allowing Bowles to score the go-ahead run from second base.

Chavarria, who took the mound in the bottom of the 10th, struck out the first two batters he faced before inducing a ground ball for the final out and his league-leading 11th save of the year.

USI (41-9) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when sophomore outfielder Kyle Kempf hit a lead-off home run over the left-centerfield fence.

Quincy (27-25), however, answered in the last part of the second inning as leftfielder Zach Knese scored on a sacrifice fly and a close play at the plate.

None-the-less, senior pitcher Jonathon Wandling settled down to blank the Hawks for the next seven frames. Wandling (8-1) struck out nine batters while scattering seven hits and a walk throughout nine innings to earn the victory.

Quincy pitcher Cody King was solid for the Hawks. King struck out 11 USI batters while scattering four hits throughout nine innings before giving way to Matt Fishman prior to the 10th inning. Fishman (3-3) was pinned with the loss after giving up one run off two hits.

The Eagles return to action Saturday at 11 a.m. when they take on the winner of the Quincy/University of Missouri-St. Louis game, which is currently in progress, in the semifinals at Bosse Field.

USI announces Outstanding International Graduate and Peace Ambassador recipient

International Programs and Services at the University of Southern Indiana has announced Shan Hussein of Sulaimany, Kurdistan, Iraq, as the 2014 Outstanding International Graduate. The award recognizes an international student with outstanding leadership skills and academic achievement upon graduation from USI.

Hussein is an economics and business administration major. She first came to USI in summer 2010 as a participant in the Iraq Young Leaders Exchange Program. She was one of two Iraqi students to receive USI’s first ever Global Ambassador Scholarship, which enabled her to return to USI upon completion of her bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Sulaimany. She will receive her bachelor’s degree in economics from USI this May, and is working toward an MBA degree from USI as well.

“Shan’s academic background, both here at USI and at home in Iraq, is exceptional,” said Dr. Tim Schibik, assistant dean of the Romain College of Business, who nominated Hussein for the award. “She already possesses a degree in engineering and has been a top performer in her economics major at USI. Shan is truly an outstanding student and person. She’s an outstanding representative of USI, our international program, and the world.”

2014 Peace Ambassador Award

Steeve JeanSteeve Jean, of Plaine-du-Nord, Haiti, is the 2014 recipient of USI’s Peace Ambassador Award, recognizing an outstanding international student whose actions and involvement in campus and community life have contributed to greater cross-cultural awareness and to increased understanding of the world, its peoples and its traditions.

Jean completed USI’s Intensive English Program before beginning a degree in biology/pre-medicine in 2013. He has achieved an outstanding academic record and emerged as a leader on campus, serving numerous organizations, including as a member of the executive board of USI’s International Club.

“I am continually surprised by Steeve’s range of involvement,” said Dr. Marcia Kiessling, associate provost for Student Affairs. “While he contributes to the University through his involvement, his more significant contributions result from one-on-one discussions with others. He is interested in learning from others and in contributing to his home country and its people. I have no doubt that he will find ways to make lasting contributions to his home country.”
