EVSC Bus Driver Receives March Cause for Applause

0

 

EVSC Bus Driver John Whitmer is the March recipient of the EVSC’s Cause for Applause award. The award seeks to recognize individuals who go above and beyond their normal job responsibilities.

Whitmer was nominated for the monthly employee appreciation award by Tiffany Ball, EVSC manager of special projects and student programs. In her nomination letter, Ball said Whitmer had been driving the two EVSC Winter Guard groups to competitions for the last three years.

“In the first year he drove us to competitions, he noticed that we travel with two very large tarps that are very heavy and awkward to handle so John took it upon himself to build both groups boards that the tarps can be folded on to for much easier handling and transportation,” Ball wrote.

Ball goes on to write that Whitmer studies the itinerary for both groups and if he sees that the groups have time to eat between performances, he always has a list of places to eat and how far away they are from the competition site.

Anyone can nominate an employee of the EVSC for the award. Deadline for nominations is the third Friday of each month. To nominate an EVSC employee, go to www.evscschools.com and click on About Us and see Cause for Applause under Community. Paper forms are available at the schools for those without access to the Internet.

Youth Resources’ March Youth of the Month: Isabelle Koch

Morning Walks Lead Corpus Christi Student to March Youth of the Month Honor

Isabelle Koch recognized for taking steps of kindness

(Evansville, IN) March 5, 2018 – Every morning before school, Corpus Christi eighth grader Isabelle Koch heads to the cafeteria to walk with her classmates. She enjoys spending time with her friends, but it’s the bond she’s developed with a much younger student that caught the attention of fifth grade teacher Cheryll Bealmear.

“She is drawn to walk with a student who is challenged with a disability,” Bealmear explained.

It’s not just walking. Bealmear, who supervises the walking program one day a week, says Isabelle also connects with her first grade walking partner, Claire Baumgartner, through conversation.

“She just makes sure that student feels special. It really starts that student’s day off with a positive note,” said Bealmear.

“I first started walking with Claire last year when a teacher mentioned that Claire needed someone to walk with her up the stairs. Shortly after we began, she managed to walk up by herself. After the teacher saw Claire and I got along so well, she assigned us as kindergarten and seventh grade buddies. Now I just walk with her because she is an amazing girl to be around,” Isabelle said.

That friendship made enough of an impression on Bealmear that she mentioned it to Isabelle’s father, John. He and his wife, Deborah, nominated Isabelle for Youth of the Month honors.

“It’s hard to put into words. Obviously it makes us feel proud that she is that way when we’re not around,” said John Koch. 

“She’s not one that needs the limelight, but she’s always been caring about people of any age, little to old,” added Isabelle’s mom, Deborah. “[It] comes from the heart, how she acts.”

Deborah Koch says Isabelle has always been a giver. Her daughter donated her long hair when she was only about five years old. Isabelle volunteered with Riding Hope, a local hippotherapy and adaptive horse riding program for children with special needs, as a kindergartner. She continues to give back in various ways.

As an eighth grader, Isabelle is already a member of Mater Dei High School’s varsity Winter Guard, marching band and Dance Cats. She’s also part of Junior Band, on the student council at Corpus Christi and is a server and choir member at church. She was named a Serra Club award winner earlier in the school year and maintains an “A” average.

Isabelle has also enjoyed participating in Youth Resources’ TEENPOWER and Vanderburgh County Teen Court programs.

“The Youth Resources programs have introduced me to many new people who are very nice and helpful.  At the TEENPOWER camp, I met a lot of wonderful people who I am still in touch with. I also participated in Teen Court which taught me a lot about how the court system works and gave me an opportunity to serve in my community.  The YR programs have helped me develop my socializing and networking skills,” Isabelle explained.

“She listens, encourages and shows others that we all have something we can contribute and not to give up. Isabelle shows that it is never too early to set a good example for others, get involved with your community and practice giving back,” said Isabelle’s mom, Deborah.

As for her walking buddy, Isabelle plans to stay in touch with Claire even as she moves on to high school.

“She is super sweet, funny and independent. Claire is one of the strongest and nicest people I know, and she is super fun to hang out with,” Isabelle said. 

Youth Resources is now accepting nominations for its April Youth of the Month.  Nominate a student (ages 5-18) who is making a difference at http://youth-resources.org/events/hall-of-fame/.

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.

 Many Hoosiers know the drill all too well. They answer the phone to hear a caller claiming money is owed to the Internal Revenue Service – and they need to pay up or else. Further, the caller often insists on unconventional terms of payment – such as the use of gift cards.

Betsy DeNardi, director of the Consumer Protection Division for the Office of the Attorney General, recently shared tips for consumers who might be wondering how to handle such unwelcome intrusions.

See video of the tips at this link. (All media outlets are welcome to use this footage in broadcasts.)

If you believe you have been the victim of a tax-related or any other type of scam, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General can help. Go to indianaconsumer.com or call 1-800-382-5516 to make a complaint.

MIKE BRAUN FIGHTS FOR MADE IN AMERICA

0
 Conservative Republican and U.S. Senate candidate Mike Braun released his fifth television advertisement, titled “Made In America”. The ad will run statewide on television.
In the ad, Braun lays the blame for the disappearance of Indiana manufacturing jobs at the feet of career politicians who have embraced bad economic policies that sent jobs overseas.
Made in America
“It used to be easy to buy made in America…but not anymore,” says Braun, who knows this fact firsthand as he’s grown his business, Meyer Distributing, and watched other Indiana companies send jobs elsewhere.
Unlike any of the career politicians in this race, Mike has confronted this challenge in his business as he watched bad policies force American companies and jobs overseas. Mike knows what it will take to get these jobs back.
“I’m Mike Braun. I approve this message because jobs won’t come back until the folks we elect have our back,” says Braun in closing the ad. “That’s exactly what I’ll do in Washington.”
