Holly’s House Announces Gift from Vanderburgh Community Foundation

0

Holly’s House, a local child and adult victim advocacy center, announces the Vanderburgh Community Foundation has made a gift to Holly’s House in support of their “Think First & Stay Safe” elementary school child abuse prevention program. A check presentation will take place on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. at Holly’s House. During the event, representatives from the Vanderburgh Community Foundation and Holly’s House will be available for comments.

Implemented in 2010, the primary goal for the “Think First & Stay Safe” program is to improve student knowledge and skills relating to protecting their personal safety. Research into child abuse indicates that young people who are abused are much more likely to struggle with depression and anxiety, have poor academic performance, abuse drugs and alcohol, present behavioral problems, and even commit suicide. In addition, children who are abused are at greater risk of being either the aggressor or victim of violence as adults. Successful prevention and early identification of child abuse is one component of preparing young people for success. The “Think First & Stay Safe” program addresses these concerns by teaching children they have a right to be safe and developing common sense skills for self-protection. Through this program, children are advised how to seek help if they, or others they know, encounter unsafe situations or are being abused.

Thunderbolts ready to take on Mayhem in first round

0

Playoff series will kick off in Evansville

It has been six years since Evansville professional hockey has seen a playoff berth. That changes this Thursday, April 12, when the Evansville Thunderbolts face-off against the Macon Mayhem for game 1 of the 2017-18 SPHL Playoffs. And while that is exciting for the city itself, the game is also free and open to the public.

While the 2016-17 defending champions edged out the Thunderbolts in the regular season series — 2-3-2 — Evansville was the last to draw a win, recently defeating the Mayhem in overtime on Saturday, April 7. The Thunderbolts finished the regular season in sixth place with a record of 27-20-9 and 63 points, while the Mayhem finished in second place with a 33-16-7 record and 73 points.

“I think we match up well with them,” said Head Coach Jeff Pyle. “We’ve played hard against them all year and every game has been tight.”

The SPHL changed the way playoff matches worked this year by allowing the top four seeds to choose who they wanted to play against. While many thought the number 1 seed Peoria Rivermen would choose the Thunderbolts, it was the number 2 seed Macon Mayhem.

“It didn’t matter to us who it was,” said Pyle. “We were willing to play anybody at any time. We have to beat everyone to win it, so we weren’t worried about anyone.”

Game 1 of the SPHL playoffs begins at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, April 12 at Ford Center. E Night is free and open to the public thanks to E is for Everyone. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the general public. Season ticket holders will be allowed to enter at 5:45 p.m. to ensure they get their favorite seat in the house. In addition to the game being presented for free, fans can also receive a free rally towel, courtesy of A. Schulman. Game 2 will be played in Macon on Saturday, April 14, as well as game 3 — if necessary — on Sunday, April 15.
