0

Evansville, IN – The 17th annual “SWIRCA BrewFest” will take place at Historic Bosse Field on Saturday, October 16, 2021, from 6-9 pm. Brewfest is the only festival around that features craft, domestic, and imported beers, wines, and spirits all in one place. Vendors from all over the Midwest come to share their craft and passion for making outstanding adult beverages while also supporting a great cause.

To celebrate Brewfest’s return, SWIRCA & More will be offering special ticket pricing for General Admission and SIP tickets. Tickets are on sale now with Early Bird General Admission tickets at $25 and SIP tickets for $45. General admission tickets will increase to $30 starting June 1 and will increase again to $35 on July 1. SIP tickets will increase to their pre-event price of $50 on July 1. VIP tickets will be $70 and Designated Driver tickets will be $10. Patrons are encouraged to take advantage of these special ticket prices.

VIP ticket holders will receive an extra hour of tasting beginning at 5 pm, a special entrance line into Bosse Field, access to an exclusive VIP area with special food, a private bar with specialty drinks, a souvenir tasting glass, premium parking, special entertainment, and massage therapists to ease those tired muscles. If VIP is not your style, but getting an extra hour of tasting sounds good, the “SIP” ticket is right for you. SIP (Somewhat Important Person) ticket holders get into the event at 5 pm but will not receive the other perks exclusively held for VIP. There will also be a great merchandise to purchase at the event including lanyard koozies, t-shirts, and hats. This year Brewfest is encouraging patrons to bring their own pretzel necklaces to wear and eat during the event. The winner of the Best Pretzel Necklace Contest will receive two general admission tickets to Brewfest 2022.

General Admission ticket holders will receive unlimited beverage tastings, an exclusive commemorative glass, food from local vendors, and entertainment. Tickets can be purchased online at www.swirca.org/brewfest and at the SWIRCA & More offices located at 16 W. Virginia Street.

She was arrested and taken to the Gibson County Jail where she is currently being held on bond. Her two children were released to a family member.

Otters reveal new uniforms for 2021

0

The Evansville Otters unveiled their new, rebranded uniforms for the 2021 season at Bosse Field on Monday afternoon.

The revealing of the new uniforms follows the franchise’s logo rebrand in March.

Otters’ players modeled the new look for the media and for fans watching on Facebook Live.

The new home white set features the blue, script ‘Otters’ wordmark across the front, pairing with a new white hat with a blue script ‘E’ insignia on the front and blue on the sides and bill. The set also included white pants with blue belts and socks.

The road gray set signified the return of ‘Evansville’ across the chest, as the preceding jersey combinations all had ‘Otters’ across the front. The script ‘Evansville’ wordmark will allow opposing teams to know where the Otters are from when the teams travel around the Frontier League.

The alternate blue set, which can be utilized both home and road, has a creamy white ‘Otters’ script wordmark across the front.

The strong presence of blue by the Otters’ new logo and uniforms is in tribute to when the Evansville Triplets arrived in Evansville and the colors they initially wore. The Triplets also had a long stint and baseball history in Evansville.

The colors and classic, scripted wordmarks are deeply rooted to the tradition of common baseball typefaces.

However, the Otters will continue to wear their previous uniforms for the duration of Spring Training, as the new on-field uniforms will not officially debut until the start of the 2021 Frontier League regular season.

 

The color scheme also gives the team a brighter, more eye-popping presence on the field.

Indiana Will End Federal Pandemic Unemployment Benefits

0
Holcomb

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced that Indiana will end its participation in all federally funded pandemic unemployment insurance programs effective June 19, 2021.

The programs that will end are:

  • Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), which provides a $300 weekly add-on to recipients of unemployment insurance
  • Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), which provides recipients extended benefits after their traditional 26 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits have been exhausted
  • Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), which provides benefits to individuals who do not normally qualify for unemployment benefits, such as self-employed, gig workers, and independent contractors
  • Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC), which provides a $100 additional weekly benefit for individuals who are eligible for regular unemployment benefits but also earned at least $5,000 in self-employment income

“There is help wanted signs posted all over Indiana, and while our economy took a hit last year, it is roaring like an Indy 500 race car engine now. I am hearing from multiple sector employers that they want and need to hire more Hoosiers to grow,” said Gov. Holcomb. “We have a myriad of work options in every region of our state with many more coming online every week.”

Indiana’s unemployment rate, which jumped to more than 17 percent at the height of the pandemic, has recovered to 3.9 percent. More Hoosiers are in the workforce now than a year ago, and the labor force participation rate is nearing the pre-pandemic level.

“Eliminating these pandemic programs will not be a silver bullet for employers to find employees, but we currently have about 116,000 available jobs in the state that need filled now,” said Holcomb. “I’ve spoken to leaders in the recreational vehicle industry who tell me they could hire thousands of people today, and in the last couple weeks, we’ve seen companies like Amazon, Apple, Toyota, and Milwaukee Tool announce thousands of new career opportunities for Hoosiers.

“We’ve re-emerged from the COVID pandemic and free vaccinations that protect you from the virus are available throughout the state. The CDC has provided guidance that says vaccinated people can feel secure about not wearing face coverings in many circumstances. Daycare facilities are open and our economy is humming,” said Gov. Holcomb. “Indiana also offers free opportunities for Hoosiers to skill up and trade up to better jobs. This is where we will continue to concentrate our efforts so all Hoosiers can get on their pathway to personal prosperity.”

On May 11, Gov. Holcomb signed an executive order to reinstate requirements that Hoosiers who are requesting unemployment benefits be actively seeking full-time work beginning on June 1. Work search activities include applying for a job, attending a job fair, participating in WorkOne orientation, or completing an online workshop.

In addition to notifying affected Hoosiers about the reinstatement of work search requirements, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development will notify impacted unemployment insurance claimants about the discontinuation of the federal pandemic benefits.

Ivy Tech to Graduate 1,305 Students in Tuesday Ceremonies

Evansville, IN – Ivy Tech Community College will graduate 1,305 students in the class of 2021 in its ceremonies at noon, 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18, at the Ford Center. These students will earn more than 1800 degrees and credentials. The ceremonies will also include students who graduated in 2021, earning 1,116 credentials and degrees, but no program was conducted.

Speakers for the event include:

  • Daniela Vidal, chancellor
  • Chris Lowery, senior vice president, Workforce and Careers
  • Danny Lopez, vice president for external affairs and corporate communications for Pacers Sports & Entertainment.
  • Patrick Berryhill, outstanding graduate, Paramedic Science
  • Nakebi Swanigan, outstanding graduate, Early Childhood Education
  • Luke Harris, outstanding graduate, Automotive Technology

Berryhill, Swanigan, and Harris are among 30 other Outstanding Graduates who have earned a 3.5 GPA or greater and were selected by their dean. 35 percent of Ivy Tech graduates will be recognized for earning Latin Honors of cum laude (3.5 GPA) summa cum laude (3.75 GPA) and magna cum laude (4.0 GPA).

“We are so proud of our graduates from both 2020 and 2021!” said Vidal. “To our Ivy Tech graduates,  continue to make us proud. Take the Ivy Tech name wherever you go. We are a family now, wear our name like a badge of honor. But most importantly, take the Ivy Tech spirit to the next phase of your career, whatever that may be. Through your own example, show others what a great place this is.”

Ivy Tech prepares students to either transfer as a junior to a four-year college of their choice, or to enter the workforce in skilled positions. Among those students are 98 who earned the “Transfer as a Junior” degree. There are also nearly 240 students who have earned the Indiana College Core, allowing them to “Start as a Sophomore” at a four-year college.

Through a combination of Ivy Tech dual credit offered in high school at no cost; and dual enrollment credits, students have earned their degree or credential at no or low cost to them or their families.  There are more than 150 students who are earning more than 200 degrees or credentials before graduating from their high school this year, which includes EVSC’s Early College Program at the Evansville campus; as well as at Tell City High School, and Perry Central High School.

Ivy Tech Evansville also has 57 graduates who earned their degree through a partnership with their workplace and Ivy Tech’s Achieve Your Degree Program. Students in this program benefit from deferred tuition reimbursement from their employers. There were also 175 apprentices earning nearly 190 degrees and credentials.
