Ivy Tech to Host Pet Therapy Events for Students

0

Ivy Tech Community College Evansville announces today that it will host Paws ‘N Relax events during final exams from December 5- 6 and December 11- 13. This will be the seventh semester (third year) this program has been offered. Ivy Tech is the first college in the region to offer pet therapy. During Paws ‘N Relax, students can enjoy the stress-reducing benefits of visiting with Certified Therapy Dogs, and, for the first time, Therapy Cats. The events will be held in Ivy Tech’s Koch Student Center located at 3501 N First Ave.

Tuesday, December 5: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Wednesday, December 6: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Monday, December 11: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.

Tuesday, December 12: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Wednesday, December 13: 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (CATS ONLY)

 

The Welborn Foundation Wellness and Fitness Center developed Paws ‘N Relax to help students manage the stress of final examinations. Ivy Tech is the first college in this region to offer pet therapy.  “Studies have shown that pets (dogs and cats) help lower anxiety and blood pressure,” says Amy Lutzel, Ivy Tech’s Wellness and Fitness Director, “We’re always looking for ways to help our students de-stress as stress takes such a toll on the body and can cause numerous health issues. We hear a lot of positive feedback about this program from our students each semester.” Ivy Tech has offered this program every semester since fall 2014.

Harley is a 6-year-old male Chihuahua. He and 12 other small dogs came from a backyard breeder in Boonville who passed away. All of the dogs lived outside, inter-breeding without limits, so he’s doing better with pottytraining but will still need some help. Believe it or not, Harley is our longest canine resident! This will include their spay or neuter, microchip, vaccines, and more. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!

 

Buehler’s IGA To Close Making The Jacobsville Neighborhood A Food Desert

0
 Buehler’s IGA in the Jacobsville neighborhood of Evansville is closing, leaving families with few options for fresh produce, and grocery store options.

The announcement came Tuesday, but many are just learning of the grocers closing. Buehler’s IGA has adjusted hours, 8 am to 6pm daily, and is expected to close after the holidays.

Owned by The Houchens Food Group, the company says high theft, and low sales at Buehler’s IGA are the reason for the closing.

Jobs for the 24 employees will be relocated, but a store manager says the closing is hard.

“It’s sad that we all… we can’t work here anymore because we were all family.”

The stores closing affects hundreds in the Jacobsville neighborhood as many people walk, bike, or bus to the local store.

When fresh food, or groceries are more than one miles away, the neighborhood is considered a food desert.

Jacobsville neighborhood improvement association president Melissa Tines worked to bring awareness to the possibility of the IGA closing, but the company still decided it will close the neighborhood grocery store.

Tines says help from community members can prevent closings like these that affect low-income families.

Families should prepare for alternative options for getting food in the house such as carpooling, using the city bus, or cabs.

The next closest grocer is more than two miles away; The Save-A-Lot at Diamond Avenue, and Wesselman’s on Fulton avenue.

Jacobsville neighborhood improvement association president Melissa Tines encourages anyone to join monthly meetings held every third Tuesday, or reach out to their Facebook page for more information.

“This is all the more reason to come to your neighborhood association meetings, get involved with your city council, and with local businesses.”

Pebbles is a female potbellied pig! Don’t worry, the devil horns were just an “easy” costume to get on her head… she’s a good girl! But, she will need a pig-savvy family who can help teach her manners. Pebbles was transferred to VHS from Evansville Animal Care & Control. She’s about 3 years old. She loves all manner of food, particularly Cheerios! Her $100 adoption fee includes her spay & vaccines. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 or vhslifesaver.org for details!

USI Fraternity Placed on Interim Suspension

0
 A University of Southern Indiana fraternity is placed on interim suspension after alcohol and hazing violations.

The University is currently investigating the Indiana Lambda chapter of the Phi Delta Theta for allegedly violating USI’s Student Rights and Responsibilities Code of Student Behavior, specifically violations to alcohol and hazing.

The University says given the severity of the allegations and to ensure safety, Phi Delta Theta is placed on temporary student organization suspensions until the end of the investigation and pending any disciplinary action.

The University is working with officials at the fraternity’s national headquarters.
