Grimm, long time spokesperson for the Department, received his new badge with his wife Barb and several of his peers in attendance. Although Grimm, a 25 year department veteran, has been filling the position temporarily since Cliff Weaver’s appointment as EMA Interim Director, today’s action made it permanent.

EFD has two Battalion Chiefs, which are the highest Merit Rank on the Department. They are Chief of Operations and Chief Fire Marshal.

Indianapolis Justice Center proposals due by end of June

0

By Dave Stafford, www.theindianalawyer.com

 

constructionThree groups chosen to design proposals for a Criminal Justice Center on the former General Motors stamping plant site west of downtown Indianapolis will have until the end of June to submit their plans, a city official said Friday.

Indianapolis Director of Enterprise Development David Rosenberg told judges of the Marion Superior Executive Committee the city sent out requests for proposals last week. Development teams have a month to comment or ask questions before the June deadline.

The project envisions a complex costing several hundred million dollars that would combine new facilities for the Marion County Jail, Marion Superior criminal courts and various other court functions.

Judges asked if there were any environmental remediation concerns regarding the former industrial site, and Rosenberg said the RACER Trust, which owns the property, is responsible for any remediation needed to return the property to use.

Rosenberg explained the successful developer will purchase the property from the independent trust that owns the property as the result of GM’s bankruptcy. The trust has an obligation to sell GM’s legacy properties at prices that approximate fair market value.

The successful bidder would arrange financing for the land purchase and construction, and the city would sign a long-term lease for the facility under the plan championed by Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard and Marion County Sheriff John Layton.

The chosen development team also would acquire the balance of the 110-acre site on the west bank of White River south of Washington Street. The Criminal Justice Complex is planned to occupy only about one-third of the western portion of the site.

Officials have said savings realized by eliminating inefficiencies and office rent would fund the project and that no tax increase would be required.

Groups chosen to respond to a request for proposals are:

  • WMB Heartland Justice Partners, led by equity members Meridiam Infrastructure Indy Justice LLC, Balfour Beatty Investments Inc. and Walsh Investors LLC with major non-equity contributions by Walsh Construction Co. II LLC, Heery International Inc., Cofely Services Inc., Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP; and Dewberry Architects.
  • Indy Justice Partners, led by equity members Fengate Capital Management Ltd., AECOM Global Fund I LP and Shiel Sexton Co. Inc., with major contributions by W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Co., Tishman Construction Corp. and Johnson Controls. Frost Brown Todd LLC attorneys are non-equity members.
  • Plenary Edgemoor Justice Partners, led by Plenary Group USA Ltd. and Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate LLC. Major non-equity members are Clark Construction Group LLC, F.A. Wilhelm Construction Co. Inc., HDR Architecture Inc. and CBRE. Krieg DeVault LLP is a non-equity member.

According to the city’s timeline, a favored proposal will be chosen and introduced to the City-County Council in September.

Aces Men And Women Make History In NCAA’s

Josh Genet 2013

Josh Genet
Men’s Results – Women’s ResultsMADISON, Wis. – The University of Evansville cross country teams wrapped up the 2013 season on Friday, running in the NCAA Great Lakes Regional at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course as the women tallied their best finish ever while Josh Genet ran the No. 3 time in school history.

Evansville’s women came home in 22nd place out of the 33 teams, topping schools that included Kent State, Cincinnati, Ball State and Valparaiso.  The finish was the best in program history, topping the 23rd place set in 2012.

Three females made their way onto the top 15 list in the record books.  Leading the ladies was senior Kelby Jenkins, who ran the fourth best 6K time in school history, finishing the race with a time of 22:21 to come in 94th place out of 227 runners.  Last year, Jenkins set the all-time UE 6K mark with a time of 21:11.

Nicole Krezuman also made her way into the records, posting a personal best 22:50 to take 120th while setting the No. 9 6K race in UE history.  Rounding out the record-breaking effort was Laurel Wolfe, who posted a 23:02 to tie Becky Tirrell for the 12th best time in Aces history.

Junior Kirsten Perrey was the fourth UE runner to cross the stripe.  In her first NCAA Regional race, she rounded the course in a time of 23:33 to take 168th while Alyssa Moran also ran her first 6K, posting a time of 23:51.

Maria Lynn (23:52) finished in 180th while Jacqueline Carlson was eight spots behind with a PR of 23:59.

For the men, it was Genet pacing the team once again with time of 32:24 to come in 77th out of 207 participants.  He bested last years time of 32:33, but was short of his record-breaking effort from 2011 when he finished the 10K in 32:10.7.  His efforts paced UE to a team finish of 28th out of 31 squads.

Next to cross the line was freshman Ross Frondorf, who took the course in a time of 34:42 in his first NCAA 10K effort.  Jon Ashby posted a 35:16 and was followed by Kyle Wilson (37:19), Billy McNicholas (37:29) and James Paul, who ran a 38:30.

Friday’s race marks the end of a storied career for senior Kelby Jenkins.  The Frankfort, Ind. product evolved into a force in the Missouri Valley Conference while setting the Evansville records in the 5K (17:27) and the 6K (21:11).  She won a total of eight races, including the last four events held at the UE Cross Country Course.  A 2-time All-Conference runner, Jenkins was named to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar Athlete in each of the last two years while garnering four MVC Female Cross Country Athlete of the Week awards.

The University of Michigan was victorious in both the men’s and women’s races, downing Wisconsin and Notre Dame on the men’s side while the women’s team finished ahead of Butler and Michigan State.  Top honors for the men went to John Mascari of Indiana State, who held off Matt McClintock of Purdue by two seconds.  His winning time was 30:05.  Juli Accurso of Ohio U. took the win by nine seconds as her time of an even 20:00 topped Erin Finn of Michigan.

Deaconess Hospital and Deaconess Gateway Hospital Continue to be “A” Rated for Patient Safety

0

Spring-2014-A-letterDesigned to rate how well hospitals protect patients from accidents, errors, injuries and infections, the latest Hospital Safety Score gave both Deaconess Hospital and Deaconess Gateway Hospital “A’s” – the top grade in patient safety.

The Hospital Safety Score is compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading experts on patient safety and is administered by The Leapfrog Group (Leapfrog), an independent industry watchdog. The first and only hospital safety rating to be peer-reviewed in the Journal of Patient Safety, the Score is free to the public and designed to give consumers information they can use to protect themselves and their families when facing a hospital stay.

“Safety should come first for our families when we pick a hospital, because errors and infections are common and deadly,” said Leah Binder, president & CEO of The Leapfrog Group, which produces the Hospital Safety Score. “No hospital is perfect, but we congratulate the Board, clinicians, administration, and staff at both Deaconess Hospital and Deaconess Gateway Hospital for achieving an “A” and showing us that you made the well-being of your patients your top priority.”

Calculated under the guidance of Leapfrog’s Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” score representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm. More than 2,500 U.S. general hospitals were assigned scores in spring 2014, with about 32-percent receiving an “A” grade. The Hospital Safety Score is fully transparent, and its website offers a full analysis of the data and methodology used in determining grades.

To see how Deaconess’ score compares locally and nationally, and to access safety tips for patients and their loved ones, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org.

Many Bullied Teens Carry Weapons to School, Study Finds

Better efforts needed to help victims before they retaliate with guns, knives, researchers say

SUNDAY, May 4, 2014 (HealthDay News) — Large numbers of U.S. high school students who are bullied take weapons to school, a new study finds.

“Victims of bullying who have been threatened, engaged in a fight, injured or had property stolen or damaged are much more likely to carry a gun or knife to school,” said study senior investigator Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York.

The researchers analyzed data from more than 15,000 U.S. high school students who took part in a 2011 survey. They found that teens who suffered many types of bullying are up to 31 times more likely to bring weapons such as guns and knives to school than those who have not been bullied.

The 20 percent of students who said they’d been bullied were more likely to be in lower grades, female and white, the researchers said. Almost 9 percent of them reported bringing weapons to school compared to less than 5 percent of kids who weren’t bullied.

Those more likely to admit “packing” for school said they had missed school because they felt unsafe either there or on the way to school; had property stolen or damaged; had been threatened or injured with a weapon; or had been in a physical fight.

Up to 28 percent of students who reported one of those factors took a weapon to school, and almost two-thirds of students with more than one of those factors did so.

The study was was to be presented Sunday at the Pediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada.

“Tragedies like the Columbine High School massacre have alerted educators and the public to the grave potential for premeditated violence not just by bullies, but by their victims as well,” Adesman said in an American Academy of Pediatrics news release. “Our analysis of data collected by the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] clearly identifies which victims of bullying are most likely to carry a gun or other weapon to school.”

Dr. Lana Schapiro, the study’s principal investigator, said greater efforts need to be expended on reducing all forms of bullying.

“With estimates of more than 200,000 victims of bullying carrying a weapon to high school, more effective prevention efforts and intervention strategies need to be identified,” Schapiro said in the news release. “The greatest focus should not just be on bullies, but on the victims of bullies most likely to carry a weapon and potentially use deadly force if threatened.”

Data and conclusions presented at meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
