 Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, in collaboration with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s Division of Aging has announced that nominations are now being accepted for the 2019 Golden Hoosier award.
“Every year, it amazes me how many thoughtful and selfless Hoosiers we have in our state, and those characteristics are often not restricted by age,†Crouch said. “The best thing about Indiana are her people, men and women who often look to their neighbor and see how they can help them, and I am proud to honor the Golden Hoosiers every year.â€
Crouch said that the award began in 2008 and annually honors Hoosier senior citizens for their lifetime of service and commitment to their communities.
To be eligible for the Golden Hoosier Award, the nominee must currently be an Indiana resident, aged 65 or older and have been a volunteer in the community for the past three years.
The deadline for submitting applications is April 29th, 2019 and you can access the electronic nomination form at https://www.in.gov/lg/2532.htm. The ceremony honoring those selected will be held on Monday, June 24th, 2019 at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center.
Elvira is an adult American rabbit who was found as a stray on Evansville’s east side! She was most likely dumped, since most bunnies can’t escape homes on their own. She’s a sweet girl who has already been spayed & microchipped in preparation for her new indoor home. She’s estimated to only be about a year old. Since a bunny lifespan is 8-10+ years, she’s still a spring chicken. She’s also the second-longest bunny resident at VHS, waiting on a home since last July. Her adoption fee is $50. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!
Sila is a female calico cat. She’s about 2 years old. She would probably do best in a quieter-than-average home. She was actually adopted & then returned for not adjusting very well to her new household, so potential adopters may need to be willing to give her some time to come around on her own terms! Her adoption fee is $40 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines, and more. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!

The Evansville Thunderbolts have a fun filled Fan Appreciation weekend planned as a thank you for their fans to close out the 2018 – 2019 season. With special $7 goal zone tickets, the Thunderbolts hope to pack the Ford Center and bring the excitement of hockey to the fans. Both nights have merchandise specials of 10% off for all fans, 15% off for half-season fans and 20% off for full season ticket holders. Plus, all fans will receive a raffle ticket on both Friday and Saturday for the opportunity to SHOOT FOR CASH from 3 different lines on the ice with a possible top prize of $200.
On Friday night, the festivities begin with a pre-game concert in the Ford Center lobby by local musicians, the Electric Revival, followed by amazing food specials: $2 hot dogs, $2 small concession soft drinks and of course, $2 Bud Lights (#2bucksb4puck). All in attendance will receive an official Thunderbolts Rally Towel, sponsored by A. Schulman to waive high while cheering on the Bolts to victory over Birmingham. To top off the excitement, the 2019 NCAA Division II Champion USI Screaming Eagles will be the ceremonial puck droppers to start the game.
Saturday brings even more fun with another pre-game concert, this time by Jordan Miller & the Deadlights. All fans attending will receive a Thunderbolts bumper sticker and an official team photo. The Thunderbolts organization will also be recognizing the “All Star Team†of players for their community service work. And finally, the night will finish up with an after-game skate on the ice, along with a player meet and greet.
Tickets may be purchased either online at www.evansvillethunderbolts.com, at the Ford Center Box Office or by calling 812-422-BOLT.
