THUNDERBOLTS COACH JEFF PYLE IS LEAVING FOR ATLANTA GLADIATORS

After a season that saw growth in sponsorship revenue, attendance, and a return to the playoffs for Evansville Hockey, two key staff members will be stepping down. Jeff Pyle, Head Coach, has accepted a Head Coach position with ECHL Atlanta Gladiators and Pete Xander, General Manager, will move into a new position at Duke University.

Pyle has been Head Coach the last two seasons for Evansville Thunderbolts. The veteran coach led the

young franchise to their first ever playoffs appearance. The 17-year head coach spent one season with

the Evansville IceMen of the ECHL in 2013-14 after his one season stop with the Dallas Stars’ AHL

affiliate in Austin, TX. Pyle started his coaching career in 1998-99 with the Mobile Mysticks and spent

four seasons in southern Alabama before relocating with the franchise to Duluth, GA as they became the

Gwinnett Gladiators in 2002.

Xander is returning to college athletics where he spent the first seven years of his professional career before joining the Thunderbolts last season. “This season was fantastic to be part of and I can’t thank Scott Schoenike and VenuWorks enough for giving me the opportunity to lead this franchise. Scott was a great mentor to me through this past season and I learned more than I could have imagined from him. It was an extremely difficult decision to leave at this time because [my wife and I] have enjoyed the Evansville community so much, but we felt this opportunity was just too good to pass up,” stated Pete Xander

“Evansville is a special community that really loves their hometown teams and it is because of the fans that this franchise will continue to grow into Evansville’s Hometown Hockey Team.”

A national search will begin immediately to fill both positions.

The Thunderbolts first home game of its third season in the SPHL (Southern Professional Hockey League) will be on Saturday, Oct. 20 at Ford Center in downtown Evansville. Season tickets are less than $9 per game. To order your tickets for next season, call 812-422-8000.

The Thunderbolts are a proud member of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL).

“YOUR TIME HAS COME” By Jim Redwine

“YOUR TIME HAS COME” By Jim Redwine

“The American Creed”

I believe in the United States of America

As a government

Of the people,

By the people,

For the people,

Whose just powers are derived

With the consent of the governed;

A democracy in a republic;

A sovereign Nation of many sovereign states;

A perfect Union;

One and inseparable;

Established upon those principles

Of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity

For which American patriots

Sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

Therefore, I believe it is my duty

To my country to love it,

To support its Constitution,

To obey its laws,

To respect its flag,

And to defend it against all enemies.

This poem by William Tyler Page was adopted by a Resolution of the United States House of Representatives on April 03, 1918 as America was helping to end the Great War to End all Wars (WWI).

It was recited by Ann Greenfield who is Posey County, Indiana’s First Lady of Political Service during the impressive and appropriate Fourth of July program sponsored by the Friends of the New Harmony Working Men’s Institute, University of Southern Indiana/Historic New Harmony and the New Harmony Kiwanis.

Ann is of that generation where capable women believed they could best serve by supporting capable men. The demographics of history support this regrettable reality. Fortunately, at least in America, history is being rewritten and the wisdom of such women as Ann, my sister Jane (Redwine) Bartlett, my wife Peg, and many more may be what guides us through the troubled waters we appear to prefer to curse instead of carefully navigate. 

Perhaps it is provident that as we face our current challenges involving technology, health care, the environment, military deployments, immigration, equal justice and more issues than can fit in one column, we have in reserve a fount of experience, knowledge, self-sacrifice, and wisdom whose time to spring forth is just now arrived.

The generation of women who helped end the Viet Nam War started us on the road to equal justice, began to demand equal opportunities for everyone while still managing to bind our wounds brings unique talent, experience, perspective and courage to today’s bitter divisions. Of course, huge numbers of women have always personally joined the fight while many others saw their place as spear carriers. But the current challenges require a general call to arms where all the available soldiers are engaged. I respectfully suggest that we encourage women in their 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and maybe even some elderly women, to step forward on their own. Your time has finally come and we need you; more importantly, your country is hurting and it needs you to lead on the field not cheer from the sidelines.

VHS RECEIVES GRANT FROM THE GREY MUZZLE ORGANIZATION TO UNDERWRITE SENIOR DOG ADOPTION PROGRAM

0

Old dogs have something to wag about this summer, as The Grey Muzzle Organization announces the recipients of its annual grants, and dogs at the Vanderburgh Humane Society are among the winners. The VHS in Evansville is one of 66 animal welfare groups in 30 states who were chosen from 309 applicants to receive a grant to help local senior dogs.

Funds from this grant will subsidize the VHS adoption fees for 10 large senior dogs and 10 small senior dogs. The size cutoff for “large” dogs is 25 lbs. and larger. “Small” dogs are under 25 lbs. A senior dog is considered to be age 8 or older. Senior citizens are considered to be age 70 or older. These funds will allow the shelter to market senior dogs with a waived adoption fee, giving senior citizens seeking companions the financial breathing room to take on dogs who are more likely to need ongoing veterinary care. The VHS offers this program all the time, but would normally just absorb the costs in the regular budget. Thanks to Grey Muzzle, the shelter now has specific funding for these adoptions, alleviating their financial burden!

“This grant will help us give senior dogs like 12-year-old Savannah the care she needs so she’ll be ready to go to her forever home,” said Amanda Coburn, Development Coordinator at the VHS. “No one is more grateful or loving than an old dog, and we’re looking forward to helping more senior dogs get the second chance they all deserve.”

Please note that while the Grey Muzzle Organization only provides funding for senior dog adoptions, the VHS Pets for Seniors program also includes cats over the age of 8.

Over the past decade, the national nonprofit Grey Muzzle Organization has provided nearly $1.5 million in grants to support its vision of “a world where no old dog dies alone and afraid.”

“Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re delighted to help deserving organizations like the Vanderburgh Humane Society make a difference in the lives of dogs and people in their communities,” Grey Muzzle’s Executive Director Lisa Lunghofer said. “Many senior dogs in the Evansville area are enjoying their golden years in loving homes thanks to the wonderful work of the VHS.”

The national nonprofit The Grey Muzzle Organization improves the lives of at-risk senior dogs by providing funding and resources to animal shelters, rescue organizations, sanctuaries, and other nonprofit groups nationwide. For details, please visit www.greymuzzle.org.
