Great Harvest Bread Co & Cafe Evansville Reopened on Friday, June 17, Under New Ownership

0

A Tri-State favorite, Great Harvest Bread Co & Cafe Evansville, will reopen under new ownership this Friday, June 17 after being closed since late last year. The cafe and the bakery have enjoyed a “cult following” and been a staple in the area since it first opened in the mid-’90s.

Owner, Braden Henson, said he was sad to see the business close last fall and felt itleft a void in the community. Many in the Tri-State have similar feelings, as the GreatHarvest Evansville Facebook page has been busy with comments from excited customers and fans anticipating this re-opening.

“I have been overwhelmed by the support from the community. The previous owner’s hard work and dedication over the years created a solid reputation in the

Tri-State. We have a great staff and an enthusiastic customer base about our fresh products. I am very excited to get us opened up and share what we’ve worked hard on,” said Henson.

Great Harvest Bread Co & Cafe Evansville will continue to occupy space at 423 MetroAvenue on Evansville’s Eastside. The bakery and cafe will be open Monday – Friday from 7 AM-5 PM, Saturday from 8 AM – 2 PM, and closed on Sunday. The fan favorite will serve a wide selection of breakfast and lunch items, including sandwiches, wraps and salads, fresh-baked cookies and treats, and of course, their popular assortment of freshly baked bread!

The Great Harvest Bread Company will open with a team of energetic bakers and customer-focused staff members, but the business is currently hiring two more part-time customer service employees.

Whether you are a devoted fan or are interested in trying the bakery for the first time, the Tri-State is invited to the Grand Opening of Great Harvest Bread Co & CafeEvansville from 7 AM – 5 PM on Friday, June 17.

SENATE CANDIDATE SCENIAK PARTICIPATES IN EVANSVILLE PRIDE & JUNETEENTH EVENTS

SENATE CANDIDATE SCENIAK PARTICIPATES IN EVANSVILLE PRIDE & JUNETEENTH EVENTS

JUNE 22, 2020

James Sceniak, the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for United States Senate, continued his tour of Indiana on June 18 at two events in Evansville.
The first event was Pride in the Park at Garvin Park, where James met with voters and celebrated Pride Month. He then attended a community Juneteenth event.
These events were significant to James because they both celebrated the diversity in our communities in both Evansville and throughout Indiana.
As a Libertarian, James believes in freedom for all. James has appeared at Pride celebrations throughout Indiana, celebrating LGBTQ+ rights, which have been a center of the Libertarian Party platform since 1971. Juneteenth celebrations celebrate the proclamation of the end of slavery in Texas by Union soldiers and a step toward the promise of freedom for all, which James will continue to work for in the Senate.
James has visited several parts of the Hoosier state to serve our communities and discuss liberty with voters. Saturday’s trip was one of several he has already made to Evansville and the southwestern corner of Indiana.
“I will continue to make sure the voices of all Hoosiers are represented in Washington,” Sceniak said. “This includes my neighbors in Evansville. For far too long we have allowed petty differences from seeing our neighbors. My goal is that all voices are heard in Washington. It was my privilege to celebrate Juneteenth and Pride while being in this great part of the state.”

Legislation Affecting Fire Protection Territory Funding Matters

The Department of Local Government Finance (“Department”) issues this memorandum to provide guidance to townships that anticipate making a request to increase their property tax rates under Ind. Code § 6-1.1-18-29.5, enacted by House Enrolled Act 1246-2022 (“HEA 1246”).

Section 1 of HEA 1246 adds Ind. Code § 6-1.1-18-29.5 to provide for the provider unit of a fire protection territory to petition the Department to increase the maximum property tax levy for the fire protection territory’s operating fund under Ind. Code § 36-8-19-8 is based on a corresponding property tax rate increase. In order to perform the necessary calculations to find the rate increase, the Department provides the attached worksheet which will function also as a request form. The pages that follow contain detailed instructions for completing the worksheet.

A provider unit must include with the worksheet a written statement or resolution from the provider unit’s fiscal body authorizing permission to submit this request.

Please send the request form to the Budget Division Field Representative for the county in which the provider unit resides. For taxes payable in 2023, HEA 1246 requires submission of the request no later than July 31, 2022. Because July 31 falls on a Sunday in 2022, and by virtue of Ind. Code § 6-1.1-1-25, the request and worksheet must be submitted no later than August 1, 2022. Please note that starting in 2023, the statutory deadline to submit the worksheet and request is March 31.

Todd Rokita Defends New State Law Protecting Girls’ Sports Against Lawsuits By ACLU

Todd Rokita Defends New State Law Protecting Girls’ Sports Against Lawsuits By ACLU

JUNE 21, 2022

Attorney General Todd Rokita continues to defend a new Indiana law protecting girls’ sports against a baseless lawsuit filed by the leftist American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

“It’s called Hoosier common sense,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Biological males have certain physiological advantages that make it unfair to allow them to compete for spots on girls’ sports teams. The law passed by the Indiana General Assembly simply acknowledges that science and protects the integrity of girls’ sports in K-12 schools.”

Attorney General Rokita filed a brief Friday opposing the ACLU’s motion for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the new law, House Enrolled Act 1041.

“After all the years of hard work to ensure equal opportunities for girls and women,” Attorney General Rokita said, “it’s unconscionable that these leftists are trying to tear down that progress in the name of nonsensical wokeism.”

The ACLU is representing a 10-year-old Indianapolis Public Schools student who was born a male but began identifying as female by age 4 and, with parental support, took puberty blockers to avoid developing male characteristics. Although a biological male, the student wants to play on a school-sponsored girls’ softball team.

The ACLU’s case manifests blatant weaknesses — invoking federal Title IX protections in its argument, for example.

The Title IX law prohibits sex discrimination and requires equal opportunities regardless of sex. But such protections are exactly what the law under challenge by the ACLU helps achieve. Obviously, the ordinary meaning of sex at the time of Title IX’s enactment in 1972 was biological sex, not gender identity.

“I promised Hoosiers when the governor vetoed this law that I would gladly defend it if the legislature overrode the veto,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Indiana’s lawmakers did their part, and I am doing mine. Hoosier girls deserve no less.”

Attached is the brief filed Friday by Attorney General Rokita.
