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.â€

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.
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.
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.
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.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should retain the authority to ask courts to require defendants to return money obtained by defrauding investors, Attorney General Curtis Hill said in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The brief, filed by Attorney General Hill and 23 other attorneys general, argues that restricting the SEC from seeking this remedy in its enforcement efforts would harm investors, lead to unfair and dysfunctional securities markets and embolden wrongdoers.
“We should not reward individuals who improperly take money from investors by allowing them to keep those wrongfully obtained funds,†said Attorney General Hill. “We must protect the right of the SEC to ask courts to force wrongdoers to repay stolen money. This authority enables fair restitution and serves as a deterrent to others who might otherwise break the law.â€
Requiring swindlers to return profits, a process known as disgorgement, is one of the surest ways to restore losses to those who have been harmed by fraudulent activities. In fiscal year 2019, fraudulent actors were ordered to repay more than $3.2 billion in enforcement actions brought by the SEC. Through disgorgement, states and the SEC are able to provide relief to victims of Ponzi schemes and other scams often sold to investors.
In the brief, the attorneys general argue that preventing the SEC from using disgorgement in court actions would permit lawbreakers to keep their ill-gotten gains and perpetuate their scams. Additionally, requiring wrongdoers to return profits promotes confidence in securities markets.
