Evansville Region Targets Population Growth In $50 Million READI Submission

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (October 22, 2021) –

Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (E-REP) in partnership with the Southwest Indiana Regional Development Authority (SWIRDA) officially submitted its regional development plan on September 23rd, vying for a cut of the state’s $500 million Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) program.

The Evansville Region has a transformational vision to become the talent and economic region of choice in the Midwest. The region’s strategy leverages $50+ million in READI funding and will spur additional public and private investment in the community.

“We’ve named this vision for a stronger region ‘e looks good on you’ – incorporating the goals and strategies of prior work through both a community-wide branding campaign and multi-year planning initiative called Talent 2025,” said SWIRDA chair Beth McFadin Higgins. “At its core, the plan is focused on population growth and talent.”

The plan highlights near-term opportunities that can be enabled by READI funding as a Phase I and long-term projects that help the Evansville Region fully achieve its vision in Phase II. The plan was developed through inclusive collaboration with community, business, and educational leaders and guided by E-REP.

“Our vision is clear, our plan is achievable, our strategy is measurable and the results will dramatically transform the Evansville Region,” said E-REP CEO Tara Barney. “By committing to these specific aspirations, we’ve set our community on the right track.”

Next steps in the READI process include presenting to the state’s review committee the week of November 29thwith award announcements in December.

More information about the Evansville Region’s plan can be found on E-REP’s website, here:https://evansvilleregion.com/readi-program/.

 

Aurora’s Homeless Experience Project 2021 

1

Aurora’s immersive experience is positioned to raise awareness and needed funds for the organization’s work to prevent and end homelessness. 

EVANSVILLE – Over 400 men, women, children and seniors experience homelessness in Evansville each year. At Aurora, our mission is “creating solutions to prevent and end homelessness in our community”. It is Aurora’s duty to not only serve the most vulnerable, but ensure that our community is aware, engaged, and activated to prevent and end homelessness here at home in Southwestern Indiana. 

The National Coalition for the Homeless, in partnership with the National Student Campaign against Hunger & Homelessness, holds Hunger & Homeless Awareness week this year Nov. 13 – Nov. 21. Therefore, we found it fitting to launch the first ever 48 Hour Homeless Experience Project in our community. Our purpose is three-fold. 

First, we want to raise awareness. This project will help our community and leaders gain at least a small window of perspective about our city’s most vulnerable people. Our planning team holds no delusions that this immersive 48 Hour experience will give our participants a full understanding of what it is those experiencing homelessness face every day. However, it is our intention to grow a greater community-wide understanding and compassion for folks who struggle with barriers to housing. 

Second, we want to raise funds for the housing programs we offer, so as to make the greatest impact possible in our area. Aurora serves as the lead homeless service agency in region 12, and as a nonprofit, we rely on support from the public and special fundraising events in order to provide quality services to the men, women, children and seniors experiencing homelessness in our community. 

Third, we want to raise awareness and support for the programs our partner agencies offer. For example, for the first time in our community’s history, through the proceeds raised in this immersive experience, Aurora will be able to support and partner with United Caring Services to offer ongoing “White Flag” services in the winter. Ultimately, our case managers and social workers rely on the tremendous social service network in our community. Rallying together with each of our focused services is what makes us successful.

48 Hours in the Life will begin Thursday, November 18th at 12pm. All participants will meet at Aurora where they will then be immersed in the experience until Saturday the 20th at 12pm. 

Eleven (11) leaders from our community will each receive a unique backstory along with a number of challenges and scenarios they will have to navigate on the streets of Evansville. The scenarios will differ for each individual participant, and reflect experiences similar to what our clients face on a daily basis. 

Those community leaders are: Rob Bernardin, Wealth Advisor from the Boren, Bernardin, Schiff Group; Andrew Cope, Commercial Loan Officer with Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union; Randy Goodwin, Business Agent with Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 136; Chaz Halsell, Vice President and Commercial Relationship Manager at Fifth Third Commercial Bank; Wayne Hart, Chief Meteorologist at ABC 25/ CW 7; Ryan Hatfield, Indiana State Representative; Zac Heronemus, Executive Director of Aurora; Lisa Rhyand-Vaughan, Feed Evansville Chair; Jaimie Sheth, Founder/CEO of JD Sheth Foundation; Phil Smith, Assistant Chief of Police with the Evansville Police Department; Stephanie Stone, Credit Processes Manager at Old National Bank; and Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, Mayor of the City of Evansville. 

To help raise awareness and funds, each participant will have their own crowdfunding web page where the public can make online donations on their behalf. Checks can also be sent to Aurora at 1001 Mary St., Evansville, IN 47710, Attn: Kim Armstrong. The participants are each challenged to raise $5000. Livestreams may also be available periodically through the event so participants can share their personal experiences with the public and help promote a better understanding of what the homeless experience is like for many of our clients. 

A closing ceremony that includes a news briefing as well as participant testimonies will take place at 11 AM on Saturday, November 20th in Aurora’s parking lot located on 1001 Mary Street. 

Media are also welcome to cover the event as it unfolds on the streets of Evansville anytime between the afternoon of Thursday, November 18th to 11 AM, Saturday, November 20th. For the various event locations information, please contact Susanna Cooley, as listed above. 

Please stay tuned for the upcoming 48 Hours in the Life: The Homeless Experience Project. For more information or inquiries, please contact Zac Heronemus, Executive Director or Susanna Cooley, Marketing and Development Officer for Aurora, as listed above. 

 

 

Prepare Lawn Irrigation Systems For Winter to Avoid Frozen Pipes

0

                                                                                                                                                                        EVANSVILLE, IND. – Homeowners with lawn sprinkler and irrigation systems connected to the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility water distribution system are advised to winterize their backflow preventers before the area receives a hard freeze. The backflow device is typically located outside the home, above ground, and near the water meter. It protects the city’s water supply by preventing water and potential contaminates from flowing backward into the water distribution system.

The EWSU recommends hiring a plumbing professional to winterize your irrigation system. If that is not possible, there are a few easy steps homeowners should take to prevent the backflow device from freezing. The best way to winterize the backflow preventer is to bleed out all of the water, disconnect the device, and store it in a warm place for the winter.

If you are unable to disconnect the backflow preventer, and after the water has been removed, it is recommended that you cover the device with a thick blanket, towels, or similar material. Insulation and heat tape may be used, but alone they do not provide sufficient protection from extreme cold during winter months. Allowing the backflow preventer and outdoor water pipes to freeze is a costly mistake.

Remember, state and local regulations require homeowners to have the backflow preventer tested by a certified plumbing professional every year. Testers are required to report test results to EWSU.

Visit Cross Connection at ewsu.com to watch EWSU Regulatory Compliance Inspector Jess Bernal demonstrate how to winterize a backflow device.

Read the Evansville Municipal Code on backflow prevention under section 13.15.050. https://www.codepublishing.com/IN/Evansville/#!/html/Evansville13/Evansville1315.html.

For more information about the Cross Connection Control Program, call EWSU Regulatory Compliance at 812-436-7015.

 

Rob Hudson New Sr. Director Of Corporate Partnership Development FOR VU

0
VINCENNES, Ind., October 21, 2021 –
Vincennes University has introduced a new position to Workforce Development & Community Services. VU President Dr. Chuck Johnson has announced the appointment of Rob Hudson as Senior Director of Corporate Partnership Development.
“VU is poised to build on the successful growth of our existing workforce development partnerships with many leading employers, such as Amazon, Cummins, John Deere, Subaru, and Toyota, and this new role is dedicated to lead that effort,” Johnson said. “We are excited that Rob Hudson is rejoining the VU team. His knowledge and experience working with employers while at Purdue and VU make him an ideal person to help VU stay at the forefront of employer-driven education and training efforts for critical technical roles, especially in advanced manufacturing and logistics.”
Hudson began his role at VU on Oct. 13.
“I am thrilled to return to the Vincennes family,” Hudson said. “VU is a leader across multiple industries in creating work-and-learn partnerships with companies of all sizes. I look forward to working with VU’s academic and training programs to expand these opportunities.”
Hudson will connect with employers to identify educational opportunities and customized training solutions to address current and future workforce needs, particularly on the Vincennes campus.
“At VU, we pride ourselves on creating programs to meet the needs of employers,” said David Tucker, VU’s Vice President of Workforce Development & Community Services. “We know companies of all sizes must be very mindful of time and cost. Especially this past year and a half of going through a pandemic, now more than ever, it’s imperative for a company to have as little downtime as possible when training employees. With Rob’s position, he will lead VU’s collaboration with corporations to partner in customized training programs.”
Hudson’s experience includes increasingly responsible roles in manufacturing and workforce training throughout Indiana.
Hudson most recently was with Purdue University’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership. Before joining Purdue, he served as the Director of Business & Industry Training at VU from 2014 to 2016. In addition, Hudson is an Indiana Air National Guardsman serving as the Unit Training Manager for the 181st Intelligence Wing in Terre Haute, IN. He also serves as the Facilitator for Knox County’s CEO Program, which works with high school students interested in pursuing entrepreneurial pathways.
A native of Solsberry, Indiana. Hudson obtained a Master of Science in Management from Oakland City University, a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle University, and an Associate Degree in Aviation Maintenance from VU.
He and his wife, Sondra, reside in Knox County and are the proud parents of four children.

USI Receives $2 Million Leadership Gift To Support, Develop Music Programs

0

The University of Southern Indiana Foundation has received a $2 million leadership gift from award-winning composer and Posey County-native Philip H. Hagemann for the establishment of a fund to support and develop music programs at USI.

In recognition of his contributions to the University and his long and far-reaching career, USI will name its Performing Arts Department within the College of Liberal Arts the Philip H. Hagemann Performing Arts Department.

The announcement came prior to a concert honoring the works and career of Hagemann and his long-time friend Dr. Murray Rosenthal Tuesday, October 19 at the USI Performance Center. Both Hagemann and Rosenthal were present for the announcement and concert on Tuesday.

Philip H. Hagemann

“Music has been an integral part of my life since my youth. With hard work and attention to detail I achieved success and want others to share in that success,” said Hagemann. “What better place than the University built ‘by the people and for the people’ a scant 12 miles from my hometown. This gift allows me to help USI offer more in its music curriculum moving toward the goal of a music major. Music must be part of a truly educated person’s study. I am happy to assist in that endeavor.”

The newly-established Philip H. Hagemann Music Program Fund will bolster the current music ensembles and classes while supporting the long-range vision of a full degree program in music at USI. Donations to the fund will be used for the development of courses and ensembles, music laboratories and classroom space, scholarships for music students and the continued sponsorship of the Hagemann Award for Musical Performance, an annual competition for high school students in Posey County culminating with a public concert in Thrall’s Opera House in New Harmony.

“We are immensely grateful for the generosity and leadership of Dr. Hagemann,” said Ronald S. Rochon, USI President.  “This gift will provide the foundation for our students to begin pursuing their musical education, that may enable USI to inspire future composers, performers and educators to follow in Dr. Hagemann’s footsteps in igniting others with the power of music.”

Born and raised in Mount Vernon, Indiana, Philip Hagemann is an accomplished musician, teacher, producer and award-winning composer of two full-length operas, 10 one-act chamber operas and 75 choral works.  His most recent works, a chamber arrangement of Claude Debussy’s The Prodigal Son and a one-act opera based on Bernard Shaw’s Passion, Poison and Petrifaction, premiered in September 2021 at the London Royal Academy of Music. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from USI in 2016.
