New Emergency Medical Services System Study Commissioned in Scott County

By Public Information Office

The Scott County Health Department and the Scott County Board of Supervisors have commissioned a comprehensive study of the emergency medical services system (EMS) in Scott County to begin on August 28, 2013. The Tri-Data division of System Planning Corporation, a nationally recognized authority in EMS, Fire and Public Safety, will conduct the study. The project period for the study is 24 weeks, with a report expected by March 2014.

The existing operations will be assessed to determine strengths and opportunities for immediate and future improvement. The goal of the study is to provide an analysis of the providers in the system and to create a long-range plan for the EMS system in Scott County. The methodology for the assessment will include an examination of clinical care, operational performance, financial performance, legal issues, system structure, benchmark data, and community awareness. Stakeholders, including EMS agencies and medical directors, fire departments, first responders, medical facilities, communications and dispatch agencies, local and state government officials, and other interested parties, will be interviewed by consultants.

"The last time an examination of the system was performed was in 1989", said Edward Rivers, Director of the Scott County Health Department. The Health Department is responsible for administration of Chapter 28 of the Scott County Code of Ordinances, which licenses and regulates EMS providers. "The landscape of the emergency medical service world has changed quite a bit in the last 24 years, and we wanted to have acknowledged experts guide us in crafting a plan to ensure that the EMS system in Scott County can continue to perform at a high level into the future. Overall, we want to improve patient outcomes and better serve the citizens of Scott County".

One particularly important issue is the effect of the changes that the Affordable Care Act may have on EMS agencies. "In order for our EMS agencies to remain capable, we must ensure that we understand how reimbursement models will affect their financial stability", said Rivers.

DEVENSKI, RIVER BANDITS KNOCK OFF KERNELS, 7-1

By Marco LaNave

Quad Cities moves within 5 ½ games of Cedar Rapids and reduces playoff magic number to 5

 

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AUG. 22, 2013) - Quad Cities River Bandits right-hander Chris Devenski pitched a season-high seven innings of nine-hit, one-run ball, and his teammates broke a 1-1 tie with a four-run fifth inning in a 7-1 win that snapped the Cedar Rapids Kernels' eight-game winning streak in front of 3,882 at Modern Woodmen Park Thursday night.

 

The River Bandits (34-24 second half, 72-55 overall) moved within 5 ½ games of the first-place Kernels (40-18, 80-46) in the Midwest League Western Division second-half standings. With a loss by the Peoria Chiefs Thursday, Quad Cities' magic number to clinch a second-half playoff berth is five. Any combination of Peoria losses and Quad Cities wins adding to five clinches the latter a playoff spot.

 

Devenski (3-3) worked around a pair of singles in the first inning and lone singles in the second and third. In the fourth, he allowed a leadoff double by Kernels right fielder Adam Brett Walker, and designated hitter Bo Altobelli hit a one-out RBI single that made it 1-0. Altobelli tried scoring from second base on a two-out single by catcher Michael Quesada, but center fielder Teoscar Hernandez threw him out at the plate to end the inning.

 

In the bottom of the fourth, Hernandez hit a leadoff single for the first hit against right-hander Jose Berrios (7-6). Hernandez then stole second base, went to third on a groundout and scored on a sacrifice fly by left fielder Danry Vasquez. In a 1-1, fifth-inning tie, designated hitter Austin Elkins drew a one-out walk, and catcher Roberto Pena singled to put runners at first and third bases. Right fielder Jordan Scott then put a bunt single up the first-base line that brought in Elkins for the go-ahead run. Second baseman Tony Kemp grounded an RBI single to right field, and shortstop Carlos Correa later smacked a two-run double to left-center field off right-hander Christian Powell. All five runs were charged to Berrios, who allowed four hits and three walks while striking out four batters in 4 2/3 innings.

 

Devenski retired six straight batters in the fifth and sixth innings, and after two straight singles opened the seventh, he struck out the next three hitters to finish with a season-high eight. It was the first seven-inning start for Quad Cities since Joe Bircher's seven innings Aug. 3. Right-hander Zach Morton followed with two scoreless innings to finish the win.


Quad Cities added a pair of runs off Powell in the seventh, with two Kernels errors and two walks adding to a Hernandez single.

 

The River Bandits' scoring of at least seven runs activates the "Lucky Seven Run" promotion, as American TV & Appliance at 4800 Elmore Avenue in Davenport will offer a 40% discount on select furniture Friday, Aug. 23. Thursday's victory also means The Captain's Table at 4801 River Drive in Moline will offer The Captain's Table Victory Discount Friday, Aug. 23. Anyone who mentions the River Bandits victory can receive a free appetizer or dessert with the purchase of two lunches or dinners with beverages on Friday, Aug. 23.

 

The River Bandits and Kernels meet for their final regular-season game at 7 p.m. Friday. Quad Cities left-hander Joe Bircher (3-3) will start against Cedar Rapids right-hander Hudson Boyd (4-4).


UP NEXT: Fireworks will follow the final game of the River Bandits' home stand Friday night. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. game, and the first 1,500 fans receive a free Bier Stube beanie. It's also City of Davenport Night and John Deere United Way of Caring. Single-game tickets are on sale at the River Bandits box office at Modern Woodmen Park, by phone at  563-324-3000 and online at www.riverbandits.com. Season ticket and mini-plan packages start at just seven games and begin at less than $50. Call a River Bandits account representative today to choose your seats and get the details of our various mini-plan packages.

 

ABOUT THE BANDITS: The River Bandits ownership is making one of the biggest improvements to Modern Woodmen Park since the ballpark was first built back in 1931! A new Ferris wheel, standing 112 feet over the playing field, is planned for next spring, along with a carousel and other new games and attractions. This season, the team just unveiled a new 300-foot long dual zip line, a rock climbing wall, a Mediacom Frog Hopper, and a number of new bounce houses . The team also boasts a new major league affiliate, the Houston Astros, and fans can see the first team in Minor League Baseball history with back-to-back No. 1 overall draft picks - 2012 top pick Carlos Correa and 2013 top pick Mark Appel, as well as 2012 first-round draft choice Lance McCullers. With new rides, new attractions, new improvements, a new affiliate and future major league stars, the second half of this season is one every fan will not want to miss!

Duffy Returns for Third Season with Mallards

By Jim Kersten

MOLINE, Ill. (August 22, 2013) - The Quad City Mallards have re-signed defenseman Matt Duffy, the Mallards announced today.

"Matt's a very dependable defenseman who provides veteran leadership and who we expect to be a key player for us again this season," said Mallards coach and general manager Terry Ruskowski.  "He brings great effort shift-in and shift-out and is a guy we can count on in important situations- including the power play, where plays an important role for us."

Duffy, 27, returns for a third season with the Mallards after finishing last year tied for fourth among Central Hockey League defensemen in points (42), fifth among blue liners in assists (33) and tied for seventh among defensemen in goals (9).  The 6' 2", 200-pound Windham, Maine, native finished ninth overall in plus/minus rating (+19).

Duffy first joined the Mallards in January of 2012 after mononucleosis kept him off the ice for the first half of the 2011-12 season.  He scored three goals and totaled 11 points in 21 games in his first campaign in the Quad Cities.

Duffy was originally selected by the Florida Panthers in the fourth round of the 2005 National Hockey League Entry Draft with the one hundred fourth overall choice.  After a four-year collegiate career at the University of Maine, Duffy broke into professional hockey at the tail end of the 2008-09 season, seeing time with both the American Hockey League's Rochester Americans and the ECHL's Florida Everblades.  The following year, in his first full pro campaign, Duffy produced five goals and 14 points in 52 games with the Everblades and scored once and recorded five points in 11 games with the Americans.

Duffy split the bulk of the 2010-11 season between the ECHL's Kalamazoo Wings and Gwinnett Gladiators and also played two games for the Portland Pirates of the AHL.  He scored four goals and totaled 10 points in 56 ECHL games.

Duffy played 165 career games at Maine, scoring 21 goals and notching 43 points.  Duffy went to the Frozen Four with the Black Bears each of his first two years at Orono.  He enjoyed his most productive season as a collegian when he scored seven goals and totaled 17 points in 39 games as a senior in 2008-09.

The Mallards will open their seventeenth season- and their fourth in the CHL- when they host the Rapid City Rush on Saturday night, October 19.  Mallards 2013-14 season tickets as well as half season tickets and flex packs are now on sale.  The Mallards offer ticket packages to meet any budget and season ticket holders also receive a host of additional benefits, including a unique season ticket holder Mallards jersey.  More ticket package information is available by calling the Mallards at 309-277-1364 or emailing info@myqcmallards.com.

About the Quad City Mallards
The Quad City Mallards are approaching their seventeenth season and their fourth in the Central Hockey League (CHL).  One of the winningest teams in all of minor league hockey, the Mallards competed in the United Hockey League (UHL) from 1995 through 2007 and in the International Hockey League (IHL) in 2009-10.  The Mallards' proud history has seen them capture the UHL's Colonial Cup Championship three times (1997, 1998, 2001) and secure that league's Tarry Cup four times (1998, 2000, 2001, 2002) for the best overall regular season record.  In 2001, the Mallards made professional hockey history, recording their sixth consecutive season with 50 or more wins, a feat that has yet to be matched.  The i wireless Center provides a unique environment for hockey and features one-of-a-kind seating areas such as the Nest for groups and functions and the exclusive Drake Club.  For more information on the Quad City Mallards or for Mallards tickets go to www.myqcmallards.com.  Fans can also follow the Mallards via Twitter at twitter.com/myqcmallards

FTC to Examine Anti-competitive allegations against Big Oil

By Grassley Press
Thursday, August 22, 2013

Klobuchar, Grassley: FTC Will Examine Allegations of Possible Anti-Competitive Practices by Oil Companies, Good News for Consumers

In a letter, FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez assured the senators that the FTC will evaluate concerns that oil companies may be undermining efforts to distribute renewable fuels that help boost energy security and lower the price of gas for consumers

Recently the senators sent a letter to FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez urging the Administration to take action to investigate recent reports indicating this potential anti-competitive behavior by oil companies

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D, MN) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) today announced that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will examine possible anti-competitive practices by oil companies that limit consumers access to homegrown renewable fuels. Recently, Klobuchar, the chair of the Antitrust Subcommittee and Grassley, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez urging the Administration to take action to address recent reports indicating that oil companies may be undermining efforts to distribute renewable fuels, including higher ethanol gasoline blends, that help boost our nation's security and lower the price of gas for consumers.

"Consumers deserve to have access to homegrown renewable fuels that not only lower costs at the pump but also help boost our energy security," Klobuchar said. "It is imperative that the Administration investigate any possible anti-competitive behavior by the oil companies that might limit consumers' access to renewable fuels. I'm pleased to see the Federal Trade Commission is taking steps to investigate whether certain practices by oil companies may be impeding competition, and I will continue to work to ensure that Americans can continue to realize the benefits of cheaper, cleaner renewable fuel."

"The allegations from retailers about possible anticompetitive practices from Big Oil are disheartening, but not surprising, knowing the lengths Big Oil will go to in order to keep biofuels out of the fuel supply," Grassley said. "It's going to take an 'all-of-the-above' approach to wean the United States off of foreign sources of oil, so it only makes sense that we all work together. I appreciate the FTC taking a look at the allegations and look forward to their conclusions."

 

In the letter to Klobuchar and Grassley, Ramirez assured the senators that the FTC will evaluate the information provided and address the concerns expressed in the senators' letter under pertinent antitrust standards.

Event tickets are $60 or, $50 if you are a current donor at the Partners level ($100 or more).  To get your tickets, call the TCR Box Office at 319-366-8591 or go to www.theatrecr.org/curtainraiser.  The event is reserved seating so purchase your tickets NOW to get the best seats in the house!
