Special Event Designed to Explain How to Earn an Associate Degree in Just 11 Months

0

Those interested in an accelerated completion of their college degree may be interested in attending the Ivy Tech Community College ASAP Night planned for Thursday, Jan. 30 at 6 p.m. at the main campus, 3501 N. First Avenue, Evansville.

The Associate Accelerated Program (ASAP) at Ivy Tech is designed for high school graduates to earn an associate degree in 11 months and prepares them to transfer as a junior to a four-year college to earn a bachelor’s degree. Classes are held in small, closely-knit groups and students remain with this group throughout the program.

98% of ASAP students go on to pursue their bachelor’s degree or a second associate degree, and 100% of ASAP graduates who applied to one or more four-year college were accepted.

Mason Clark, a graduate of Mt. Vernon Senior High School, graduated from ASAP in 2019. He said that not only was there value in completing his degree quickly and with a group of like-minded individuals, he also learned a lot in several experiences the group did together. “While I, with six other members of Cohort V, was busy taking four 8-week courses at a time, I was also busy bettering the community and myself,” he said, noting all of the many service projects with which ASAP assisted. He also had the honor of being the Outstanding Graduate of the General Education Transfer Core.

Gina Nalley, also a 2019 ASAP graduate, had the honor of being selected the student commencement speaker. “This program is fast paced, but if students are willing to apply themselves, they will be given the resources they need to be successful,” she said. “In ASAP, you do not just learn about school subjects, you learn life lessons.”

For more information about the program, come to the event or go to www.ivytech.edu/asap. Those completing the Interest Form link at this site will also receive additional information.

Otters to have 2020 preseason tryouts

0

The Evansville Otters will host a Frontier League preseason tryout Saturday March 21 at Bosse Field.

This workout serves as an open tryout for players who are seeking an opportunity to sign a professional contract for the 2020 season. Only the first 100 players to sign up will be accepted.

Registration can be done online at http://www.ondeckbaseballlafayette.com/.

The event gives each player a chance to showcase their talents in front of Frontier League managers and coaches. The Joliet Slammers and Evansville Otters will be represented at the Evansville tryout.

“Joliet and Evansville both put great emphasis on these tryout camps,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said.

Registration fee for each player is $75 and players can register online at ondeckbaseballlafayette.com.

Tryouts start at 9 a.m. Position players can check in from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and pitchers can check in from 11:30 a.m. to noon (all times CT).

Players from outside the area can find discounted lodging at Comfort Inn and Suites on the corner of Lynch Road and Highway 41 by calling and mentioning “otterstryout.” For more details about the hotel discount and to make reservations, call (812) 423-5818.

The rain date will be March 22 and if there is inclement weather both days, the tryout will be moved to an indoor facility.

The Otters will also have a tryout in Allentown, Pa. Saturday April 4 starting at 9 a.m. from ECTB Stadium at Bicentennial Park. Position players can check in from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and pitchers can check in from 11:30 a.m. to noon (all times ET).

“These tryout camps have been successful in previous years as evidenced by the signing of 13 players from these two preseason camps the last three years,” McCauley said.

The Joliet Slammers and Evansville Otters will be represented at the Allentown tryout.

That tryout is $100 per player and you can also register for that event at ondeckbaseballlafayette.com.

The rain date for that tryout will be April 5 and if there is inclement weather both days, the tryout will be moved to an indoor facility.

The Frontier League is a professional, independent baseball organization located in the Midwestern and Northeastern United States. It operates mostly in cities that are not served by Major or Minor League Baseball teams and is not affiliated with either. The league formed in 1993 and is the oldest active independent league.

Paul Coleman For those dollars they could tear down 2 houses in that neighborhood and build 2 complete houses. 3-4 if they get habitat involved .
Complete farce!!!!

Angie Bullock Why would Hope, a city non-profit, purchase a property for more than double??!! Technically this property should have been cited for multiple code violations and condemned rather than purchased at an inflated price!

Considering the fact that the city owns quite a few properties through the Brownfields Corporation and Landbank?! The City has razed homes in much better condition than this house…they have razed homes that were registered as Historic that did not have structural issues. Last summer, the County Commissioners auctioned off several solid properties both residential and commercial at prices ranging from $5-6500.

Angie Bullock Jennifer Sanderson This is gripes me. They razed a historic registry house 622 E Chandler that I tried to save. I even paid a licensed independent home inspector to inspect the property and it was in great structural condition with the roof under 10 years old and new electrical. We could have saved the house but huge trees that required being removed estimates were $10k…which threw the project over budget. The City would not remove the trees to save the house. The inspection report to justify the raze order did not match the house condition. The house was razed, the city then removed the trees and they put in a driveway for the neighbor who got the lot. So they paid thousands to raze it plus removed trees, put in a driveway and sold cheap to neighbor. But they couldn’t afford to remove trees to save a historic house…the first stucco house in Evansville. But they sold the architectural salvage to FHG.
Jennifer Sanderson Angie Bullock I was hoping you would chime in…..👍

  • Adam Grove If you dig through the multiple layers of LLC’s you find the name Omar Atia as the manager of these llc’s. His company thoughtfire manufacturing is also listed at innovation pointe. This is the kind of fuckery that everyone hates. Why two layers of llc’s and lawyer Doug Briody (also in innovation pointe) attempting to mask these transactions.

    Marc Schiele I sent this to Rep. Larry Buschon, for his input!
    Angie Bullock I drove by this property yesterday. Being a Realtor and someone who has saved an rehabbed old houses, this house should be razed. The is upside down value…it would cost more to raze the property than the lot is even worth!

    From my auto, having been a licensed contractor, I could clearly see multiple code violations and that the house has major structural issues and should be considered an unsafe property. There is only one entrance/exit to the house, there are many areas where the foundation is totally gone and at corners, with foundation issues to that extent more than likely the sill plate is also gone. The east side of the house has damage from a neighoring fire and there is a very noticeable drop and swag in the roof indicating roof structural issues. It has an antiquated weatherhead and no power lines which indicates the structure has sat vacant for quite a while, and much of the chimney has fallen off. Even with all those issues, that house could be repaired for below $100k but the problem is cost exceeds the finished value of the home. This structure will have to be rebuilt from new foundation to rafters and roof. It is just best suited to be razed and give the lot to Habitat to develop.

  • Jennifer Sanderson Sounds like straight up fraud to me….
    • Jennifer Sanderson Sounds like straight up fraud to me….
      Peg Alexander Barnett Jennifer Sanderson agree
      • Angie Bullock Jennifer Sanderson I have read that HUD will allow programs to assist owners of distressed residences that are proven in need. Such as a program to help poor owners with roof replacement, windows, repair dangerous porches, and get them into code compliance.

        The city did this before and it was stopped because it was considered a waste and corruption was involved. They purchased a historic house for $20k, spent another $20k in lead and asbestos remediation, then spent $300k to restore the house and make it high efficiency. It was then sold to a city employee for $125k. They also purchased a house at Haynes Corner at an inflated price from Investors listed as from Jasper who had recently purchased. Then it was sold for a small amount to a business owner and they were given a grant for the cost of their purchase. It recently sold at a profit.

        You should look into 807 E Chandler Ave. It was done like this property several years ago. Purchased for $20k, spent $20k on lead and asbestos remediation, and $300k on rehab then sold to a city employee for $125k. Heidorn Construction was one of the contractors that did the work. Another transaction you should research is the Dapper Pig property at Haynes Corner. It was purchased at an inflated price from an investor with a Jasper address a few months after the investor purchased it. It had been on the market for a while as a foreclosure. You will find it sold at an extremely low price to a local bar owner and there was supposedly a grant given to them for the amount of purchase.

        Also it is best if you want to compare home values, to look at our local MLS www.buyhomesnow.com Zillow is often inaccurate and the values they give are inflated. It is also possible to compare actual real estate sales in the neighborhood at the County Assessor’s website.
