0

In light of the financial challenges that COVID-19 has brought to many people, the University of Evansville is announcing some select reductions and benefits for recent college graduates, transfer students, nurses, teachers, and others looking to enhance skills. The most dramatic offers include a reduced tuition rate for recent graduates seeking a second undergraduate degree and transfer students intending to live on UE’s campus.

Students who graduated from college in 2020 are eligible to complete a second undergraduate degree at the significantly reduced rate of $315 per credit hour. Many second undergraduate degrees can be completed with just 30 to 48 credit hours, equating to approximately $10,000 – $15,000 in tuition.

New transfer students entering in Fall 2020 will receive free housing for the semester. This option is only available to new transfer students who are not already receiving full-tuition scholarships or benefits. Current students are not eligible for this housing benefit.

Many additional programs are available to anyone at the rate of $315 per credit hour. These include:

  • Transition to Teaching Program. This 17-credit program allows students with bachelor’s degrees to secure an Indiana teaching license in high need areas including life sciences/biology, chemistry, physics, foreign language, and mathematics, and can typically be completed in one year at the cost of under $6,000.
  • Accelerated Elementary Education Degree. This 48-credit program allows students with bachelor’s degrees to earn a BS in Education in as few as 3 semesters.
  • Online RN to BSN Program. Registered nurses may obtain a BS in Nursing through this program, which can be completed in as few as 18 months with tuition as low as $8,425.
  • Bachelor of Science in University Studies. This flexible program is for adult learners who do not yet have a bachelor’s degree. Both online and in-person options are available.
  • Online Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership. Adults who have completed 60 credit hours or have earned an associate’s degree are eligible to pursue this degree in an online cohort program.

State Funding Granted To Indiana Food Banks

0

A total of $300,000 in state funding will be distributed to 11 Indiana food banks to provide assistance and services to Hoosiers in need. The funding came from the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, through the Indiana General Assembly.

“With the support of the Indiana legislature and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, we continue the fight against food insecurity,” said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “While this is only the start, we’re proud to play a part in bringing greater food security to Hoosier families.”

According to Feeding Indiana’s Hungry, the state’s food bank association, the impact of the COVID-19 virus is estimated that food insecurity will rise by 40% among Indiana residents in 2020. This will put one in five Hoosiers at risk of hunger and includes more than 414,500 children who do not know where their next meal will come from.

Every day, and even more so in response to coronavirus, Indiana’s regional food banks distribute food and other items to Hoosiers in all 92 counties either directly or through local pantries and soup kitchens. To aid clients during the COVID-19 pandemic, Indiana’s food banks turned their normal distribution system on its head, quickly adapting to the situation. With help from several state agencies and the Indiana National Guard, they safely served a growing number of Hoosiers impacted through illness and unemployment.

“This year’s funding will help food banks continue to meet the increased need from Hoosiers, many of whom sought assistance for the first time when the COVID-19 pandemic began and is expected to continue for months to come,” says, Emily Weikert Bryant, executive director of the association. “Food banks have had to purchase substantial amounts of food as donated food from retail sources has lessened, while incurring increased expenses for staff, logistics and personal protective equipment to serve thousands of households each week.”

One recipient, Hoosier Hills Food Bank in Bloomington, will use the funding to support the distribution of additional purchased food for its programs and partner agencies in six counties. Hoosier Hills Food Bank has already distributed the equivalent of 1.7 million meals during the COVID-19 crisis, up 52% from 2019, by purchasing significantly more food to make up for a decline in retail, food drive and prepared food donations.

“This support from the state of Indiana is especially helpful this year,” said Julio Alonso, Executive Director and CEO of Hoosier Hills Food Bank. “COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on both the need for food and on food donations. With this help, we can serve an increased number of Hoosiers facing hunger and food insecurity despite a big decline in regular sources of donated food.”

The funding was provided by the Indiana Legislature, as part of the biennial budget. The distribution amounts were determined using the Emergency Food Assistance Program fair share percentage, which captures poverty and unemployment levels in each county.

“One in five Hoosiers are facing food insecurity,” said Bruce Kettler, ISDA Director. “As we combat this issue, I applaud the organizations, farmers and countless others with an aligned mission to end hunger in our state.”

The following list includes the food banks that received funding for the fiscal year 2021:

  • Community Harvest Food Bank – $29,970
  • Dare to Care Food Bank – $10,890
  • Food Bank of Northern Indiana – $34,890
  • Food Bank of Northwest Indiana – $29,310
  • Food Finders Food Bank, Inc. – $27,720
  • FreeStore Foodbank– $2,490
  • Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, Inc. – $96,480
  • Hoosier Hills Food Bank, Inc. – $12,960
  • Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central IN, Inc. – $23,640
  • Terre Haute Catholic Charities Foodbank, Inc. – $13,230
  • Tri-State Food Bank, Inc. – $18,420

Indiana 211 Now Integrated With FSSA To Better Connect Hoosiers With Services

0

Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced Indiana’s statewide community resource referral agency, Indiana 211, is now part of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration. The change, which was part of Gov. Holcomb’s 2020 Next Level agenda and unanimously approved by the Indiana General Assembly during its 2020 session, will make it easier for Hoosiers to navigate the significant amount of state and community services available to support their overall health and well-being.

“By connecting the resources of FSSA with the versatility of Indiana 211, we can offer Hoosiers great government service,” Gov. Holcomb said. “We will connect them with what they need, when they need it with this 24 hours a day, seven days a week hotline.”

Indiana 211 is a free service that connects Hoosiers with assistance and answers from thousands of health and human service resources – quickly, easily and confidentially.

Indiana 211 and FSSA will be able to more efficiently aid Hoosiers in need by providing a one-stop shop for community and state services. When they dial 2-1-1, Hoosiers are connected to an experienced, responsive and compassionate team of community navigators who are skilled at identifying needs and providing referrals that best meet those needs.

“Along with Governor Holcomb and the Indiana General Assembly, Indiana’s United Ways and the Indiana 211 Partnership have been great partners in making this vision become a reality,” said Jennifer Sullivan, M.D., M.P.H., FSSA secretary. “It is the ultimate goal of all involved to support Hoosiers’ overall health and well-being. They need a simple front door to walk through to receive any service or program we offer without delay – and if we don’t offer it, a way to be connected to it.”

Indiana 211 and FSSA already have a history of joint success, through programs such as the partnership with OpenBeds, which was part of Gov. Holcomb’s 2018 Next Level agenda and has to date has connected over 1,400 Hoosiers with drug treatment and community services. The organizations have also partnered on operating suicide prevention and Adult Protective Services hotlines, and will be introducing new services related to helping Hoosiers recover from the COVID-19 pandemic in the near future.

Senator Feinstein And Husband Stands To Make A Fortune,

0
The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. All 56 were built, operated, and paid for by tax-paying American citizens. Now enjoy reading the rest: The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country. 
The sale of these properties will fetch about$19 billion! 
A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales. That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum. 
Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein!(Most voters and many of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection between the two because they have different last names).
Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune, estimated at between $950 million and $1.1 BILLION from these transactions! 
His company is the sole real estate agent on the sale! 
CRI will be making a minimum of 2% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale. All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers’ dollars. 
The U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear, tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn’t even have to pay county property taxes on these subject properties. QUESTION? Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn’t afford to pay the electric bill? 
Well, the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it! Worse yet, most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years! 
No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of billions of dollars worth of public assets. 
How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal ? Has our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight? 
It’s no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions. 
Pass this info on before it’s pulled from the Internet. You can verify it on TruthorFiction and Snopes: 
http://www.truthorfiction.com/…/Blum-Post-Office-Sale-06101…

If this doesn’t upset you, don’t complain about the corruption and the ineptness in D.C.

AMERICA’S BEST RACING AND WOODBINE ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCE MARKETING PARTNERSHIP

0

America’s Best Racing (ABR), a multimedia fan development and awareness-building platform designed to increase the profile and visibility of North America’s best Thoroughbred racing events, and Woodbine Entertainment (Woodbine) today announced a cross-promotional marketing partnership.  As part of the partnership, ABR and Woodbine Entertainment will work together to create and distribute content across digital channels to fans across North America, sharing stories from Woodbine Racetrack and Woodbine Mohawk Park and promoting wagering opportunities on Woodbine’s Thoroughbred and Standardbred racing.

As part of the expansive collaboration, Woodbine will license U.S. broadcast rights to Racing Night Live on TSN every Thursday evening (6 p.m. to 8 p.m.  ET) to ABR for distribution on ABR’s YouTube channel – https://www.youtube.com/americasbestracing. Racing personalities and analysts from ABR will make in-show appearances during each Thursday night telecast to promote content offered at www.AmericasBestRacing.net and to highlight upcoming big races across America. Simultaneously, ABR will live stream a “Woodbine Live” handicapper’s show on its Twitter and Facebook channels to promote wagering on races at Woodbine every Thursday night.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Woodbine Entertainment and are excited to leverage our social media channels, video production, second screen live video show promotions, and digital content team to help amplify Canadian horse racing across America,” said Stephen B. Panus, President of TJC Media Ventures. “This is a tremendous opportunity to reach and attract a new demographic to the best of Canadian horse racing, including via the innovative, AI-powered app ‘Dark Horse.’ Additionally, we’re pleased to have the  opportunity to showcase Racing Night Live via the TSN broadcast every Thursday across our YouTube channel. American horse racing fans and sports bettors will enjoy wagering on and watching the live racing experience at Woodbine Racetrack and Woodbine Mohawk Park, respectively.”

“As our content strategy continues to evolve and we look to engage our fans and attract a new generation of fans across North America, ABR is an excellent partner,” said Jim Lawson, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. “We have always been big fans of how ABR reaches and enages fans through their channels, so we are naturally excited about how we can partner with them to distribute more Woodbine content as well.”

Among the other highlights of the multi-faceted partnership agreement:

  • ABR will produce and stream Woodbine-sponsored Live Shows (2 hours per show) and Mini-Live shows (45 minutes per show) in 2020 featuring handicappers, sports bettors and various influencers betting Woodbine races on key dates during the 2020 Thoroughbred and Standardbred racing seasons:

Saturday, August 15 — Woodbine Oaks Day

Saturday, August 29 – Pepsi North America Cup (Woodbine Mohawk Park)

Friday, September 11 — Day before The Queen’s Plate

Saturday, September 12 — The Queen’s Plate

Friday, September 18 — Day Before Woodbine Mile

Saturday, September 26 – Mohawk Million (Woodbine Mohawk Park)

Saturday, October 24 — Breeders’ Stakes Day

  • To complement ABR’s stream of Racing Night Live on its YouTube channel, ABR will produce a weekly 2-hour live show, secondscreen experience streamed on ABR’s Facebook & Twitter channels every Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET, through Sept. 10. Each show will be hosted by ABR’s Dan Tordjman and will also feature leading handicappers Emily Gullikson and Ashley Mailloux, focusing on Woodbine Thoroughbred and Standardbred analysis respectively.
  • ABR will distribute regular Woodbine content that focuses on handicapping of Woodbine racing, big wins from Woodbine racing and more.

Launched in 2012, America’s Best Racing continues to reach and attract a new and younger demographic to the sport, with a focus on the gambling, racing and lifestyle.  A significant majority of the users (61% men and 39% women) to America’s Best Racing are under the age of 50 while over 80% of ABR’s social media audience falls under the age of 44.  ABR has national distribution via NBCSports.com and CBSSports.com, hosts a weekly radio show on SBNation Radio every Saturday which broadcasts in more than 105 national markets, and is the title sponsor of national television coverage of live horse racing on both Fox Sports and NBC Sports.

Jones officially signs with Eagles

0

University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball announced the signing of six-foot-six freshman guard Elijah Jones for the 2020-21 season. Jones is the fourth signee for USI Head Coach Stan Gouard this spring.

“Elijah is an experienced, skilled, and productive player who will fit in well with the culture we are building here at USI,” said Gouard. “He is an outstanding athlete, who can play multiple positions.

“We look forward to having him in our program and working with him as he continues to develop on and off the court,” concluded Gouard.

Jones begins his collegiate career at USI after playing at Marian Catholic High School (Chicago Heights, Illinois), earning East Suburan Catholic Conference all-league honors last season as a senior and helping the Spartans to a semi-state appearance as a sophomore in 2017-18. The South Holland, Illinois, native averaged 14.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game as an All-Conference senior, while also posting a double-double in the abbreviated 2019-20 post-season (three games) with 17.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game

Jones joins six-foot-nine junior forward Jacob Polakovich, six-foot-three sophomore guard Tyler Henry, and six-foot-five junior guard Jelani Simmons in signing with Eagles for the 2020-21 season.

The Eagles, who were 22-8 and a NCAA II Midwest Regional qualifier in 2019-20, returns 10 players from last season who averaged 79.5 points and 40.3 rebounds per contest. Senior forward Emmanuel Little is USI’s top returner with 16.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
