Collects 1,648 phones for HopeLine for Verizon initiative

Indianapolis – First Lady Karen Pence today announced the collection of 1,648 phones for the HopeLine from Verizon initiative that serves survivors of domestic violence. This third annual phone drive, which the First Lady sponsored throughout the month of October, collects no-longer-used cell phones and accessories to refurbish and sell to raise funds for survivors of domestic violence. According to Verizon, the drive is considered to be one of the largest consecutive HopeLine collections in the nation. Donations this year surpassed the past drives, in which 1,200 phones were donated in 2014, and 1,367 in 2015.

“I’m so thankful for the generosity of state employees as they dropped off phones in HopeLine boxes around the government center campus,” said First Lady Karen Pence. “HopeLine from Verizon is an incredible program, and I hope that our efforts over the past month make a noticeable difference for survivors of domestic violence across the state. As this is my final drive, I am especially and sincerely grateful for the combined amount of 1,648 phones donated that will save lives.”

HopeLine provides new phones equipped with 3,000 anytime minutes to those in need through participating domestic violence agencies, and give grants to agencies that assist survivors of domestic violence. The donated phones are refurbished and recycled in an environmentally safe way with proceeds going toward the financial support of domestic violence awareness and prevention initiatives.

Since 2001, HopeLine from Verizon has collected more than 11.4 million phones nationwide and has donated more than $29 million in cash grants to domestic violence organizations nationwide.

A photo of the First Lady announcing her third annual phone drive at a press conference in late September can be found attached, along with a photo of donated phones from this year and a photo of the First Lady organizing donated cell phones after last year’s phone drive.

Special giveaway set for Saturday’s game against Morehead State

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Deaconess and the Purple Aces are partnering to raise awareness of men’s cancers in conjunction with “No Shave November”.  A special giveaway is on tap on Saturday when the University of Evansville men’s basketball team takes on Morehead State at the Ford Center.

Prior to Saturday’s noon contest, 1,000 purple mustaches will be given out to Aces fans to raise awareness of “No Shave November”.   The initiative encourages men to stop shaving to evoke conversation and raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancer.

“No Shave November” helps raise awareness for men’s cancers, specifically prostate and testicular cancers,” said Debra Wilson, Director of Deaconess Cancer Services.  “Awareness and early detection most often leads to better outcomes.  By sponsoring the ‘Deaconess No Shave November’ game with the Evansville Aces, we are able to both recognize our “No Shave November” participants, and also share the message about early detection with all the fans attending the game.”

UE Director of Athletics Mark Spencer echoed those sentiments and is excited for the Aces to help in promoting a great cause.

“The Aces are deeply honored to partner with Deaconess to raise awareness of men’s cancers in such a creative and high profile way,” Spencer said.  “Our fans will wear the purple mustaches with pride knowing that they are doing their part to help in the early detection of prostate and testicular cancer.  The Deaconess ceremony that awards prizes to men for winning photo submissions in ‘No Shave November’ is a marvelous stage to highlight this life-saving campaign.”

At halftime of Saturday’s contest, Deaconess will award prizes in several categories including: Most Creative, Best Group Theme, Best Celebrity Lookalike and Most Unique Beard and/or Mustache.

Four University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer players earned All-Midwest Region honors, it was announced Wednesday by D2SIDA and the Conference Commissioners Association.

Junior goalkeeper Adam Zehme (Orland Park, Illinois) was the lone Eagle named to the first team. Zehme posted career-highs in wins (13), saves (74) and shutouts (7). He had a .763 save percentage and 1.04 goals against average and was named to the first team All-GLVC for his stellar play between the posts.

The three Eagles receiving second-team honors were senior defender Michael Sass (New Palestine, Indiana), junior midfielder Kyle Richardville (Vincennes, Indiana) and freshman forward Eric Ramirez(Vincennes, Indiana).

Sass helped anchor the backline of the USI defense that allowed just over a goal per game, while tallying four points on one goal and two assists. Sass also earned second-team All-GLVC this season.

Offensively, Ramirez paced the Eagles with a team-high 21 points on 10 goals and one assist. The 10 goals are the most ever by a USI freshman. Ramirez was also named the GLVC Freshman of the Year as well as earning first-team All-GLVC.

Second on the team in scoring with 19 points, Richardville was a key offensive threat for the Eagles this year. He posted seven goals and five assists on his way to also earning second-team All-GLVC.

The Screaming Eagles are coming off a season in which they reached the NCAA Division II Tournament for the first time since 1982, where they fell to Rockhurst 3-1 in the second round. The

EDITORIAL: IN SUPPORT OF A NEW UPSCALE RESTAURANT-BAR ON WEST FRANKLIN STREET

20

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS SHOULD APPROVE REQUEST FOR PROPOSED WESTSIDE RESTAURANT-BAR

For several months successful businessman Kerry Chesser petitioned the Board of Zoning of Appeals to approve his re-zoning requests to locate an upscale Restaurant-Bar on West Franklin street.

At the last Board Of Zoning Appeals meeting Mr. Chesser request for approval ended with a 3 to 3 tie with one member absent. Because of the tie vote a meeting of the Board was rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 pm at the Civic Center.

Because Mr. Chesser’s project plans didn’t meet current City of Evansville parking requirements he agreed to tear down a large section of his vacant building located on West Franklin Street so he can comply with the City’s overzealous parking requirements.  Opposition from a future competitor also forced Mr Chesser to scale down the floor plans of his proposed Restaurant-Bar.  His scaled down plans for his Restaurant-Bar will allow more on-site parking spaces.  Also a side agreement with an adjoining property owner will also add additional parking spaces for his project.

Over the years West Franklin street has become to be known as the “Entrainment District.” of Evansville.  Mr.  Chessers Restaurant-Bar expansion is similar to the commercial expansion going on in the Haynie’s Corner area during the several years.  We wonder if any special variances for parking were ever given to any of the new Restaurant or Bars located in the Haynie’s Corner area?

It’s important to point out that the overwhelming majority of the Restaurant-Bars owners located on West Franklin street supports Mr. Chesser’s newly amended parking plans.  Another good reason why the Zoning Appeals Board should approve Mr. Chesser’s request is because the Lamasco Neighborhood Association has also endorses his petition to open a new Restaurant-Bar on West Franklin street.

Bottom line, Kerry Chesser is a highly respected businessman and over the years he has contributed many hundreds of thousands of dollars to those in need in our community. He also gets high marks for the way he operates his bars and restaurants by the people that lives in the area where his businesses are located .

We strongly urge that the Zoning Appeals Board approve Mr. Chesser’s request to located his upscale Restaurant-Bars on West Franklin street because it will be a social, entertainment and economic asset to the West Franklin street area.

It’s  our opinion that the Board of Zoning Appeals should approve without delay Mr. Chessers plans to locate an upscale Restaurant-Bars on West Franklin street because it’s the right thing to do!

FOOTNOTE: Please take time and go vote on todays ‘READERS POLL.”  Todays poll question is: Do you feel that the Zoning Board of Appeals should approve the request to allow a new upscale Restaurant-Bar to be located on West Franklin street?
