0

Governor Eric Holcomb has reappointed three members of the University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees for appointments through June 30, 2026. Returning USI Trustees are Harold Calloway, John Dunn and Christine Keck, all of Evansville.

Calloway had a successful 34-year career with State Farm which he retired from in October 2019. He started his own State Farm agency on the northwest side of Evansville in 1985 after serving at Indiana State University – Evansville (USI) as the Director of Financial Aid for over 10 years. Calloway, a former platoon leader in the U.S. Army, spends his retired time involved in the church and mentoring young men in the community, sharing his experiences and offering guidance on navigating the professional world.

Dunn serves as the Chair and CEO of Dunn Hospitality Group. Ltd. and is a former Chair of the USI Board of Trustees, as well as a former member and Chair of the USI Foundation Board of Directors. Dunn Hospitality began with The Williamsburg Inn (now HomeLife Studios and Suites) in 1978 and now owns and operates over 40 hotels in Indiana, Kentucky and Alabama. Prior to Dunn Hospitality, Dunn worked in various roles at Evansville-based Fuqua Industries, which owned WROZ radio and WTVW-7 TV. Before his time with Fuqua Industries, he served as an electronics specialist in the U.S. Air Force. He is known for his varied involvement and contributions to the Evansville community.

Keck is the Managing Director of Federal Government Affairs with CenterPoint Energy. Previously, she served a dual role as Director of Federal Government Affairs for Vectren and Director of Government Relations for Energy Systems Group in Newburgh, Indiana. Prior to her dual role, Keck served as Senior Vice President, Southern Region Corporate Lending Executive for Old National Bank where she began her professional career and worked in a multitude of roles. In 2018, she was awarded the Sara B. Davies Award by Leadership Evansville for community engagement and leadership as she is active in leadership roles with several community organizations, including serving as an Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (EREP) Officer.

The USI Board of Trustees has nine trustees and must include one alumni of the University, one current student and one resident of Vanderburgh County. Trustee terms are for four years, except for the student term, which is two years.

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.
