Indiana Diving’s Johansen, Tyler Rewarded for National Excellence
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) on Monday (April 1) rewarded two members of the Indiana swimming and diving program among its postseason awards.
For the third consecutive season, Indiana head diving coach Drew Johansen was named a CSCAA Diving Coach of the Year – his second-straight award in the men’s category. Junior Carson Tyler was named the CSCAA Men’s Diver of the Year.
Indiana showcased perhaps the greatest-ever diving performance at an NCAA Championships last week during the 2024 NCAA men’s national meet in Indianapolis. The Hoosiers totaled 121 points on the boards, 66 points better than the second-best diving team (Ohio State) and outscoring all but 10 combined swimming and diving programs. Indiana has eclipsed 100 points at back-to-back NCAA meets, earning 104 points last year.
Johansen was previously named the CSCAA Men’s Coach of the Year in 2018 and 2023, as well as the women’s coach of the year in 2022. His program has produced an NCAA Champion in five of the last six full seasons (since 2018) and seven total titles in that span. The Hoosiers have won the 3-meter and platform championships in back-to-back seasons.
At the NCAA Championships, the trio of juniors Tyler and Quinn Henninger and sophomore Maxwell Weinrich collected two medals from each of the three diving events – two gold, two silver, two bronze – and eight All-America finishes.
Tyler won two NCAA titles last week, repeating as platform champion Saturday after earning his first-career 3-meter title Friday, which was won by now-graduated Hoosier Andrew Capobianco last season. Combining the championships and a bronze-medal finish on 1-meter, Tyler totaled 56 points over the week – a total that outscored every other diving program.
Tyler won on platform with a score of 515.75, IU’s best-ever mark at an NCAA Championships. He led a 1-2 finish for the second-straight night as Weinrich earned his first-career national medal. Weinrich totaled 19 points on the week. Henninger took silver on both springboards and finished seventh on platform – a total of 46 points.

Dear John
The purpose of this letter is to serve as an introduction to the history of the operations of the City-County Observer, which has served the people of Vanderburgh County, Indiana over the last 22 years. We have highlighted some of our most impactful reporting that has saved the people of Vanderburgh County tens of millions of dollars by avoiding both governmental actions and utility rate increases.
The report on the history of the City-County Observer is attached as a part of this document and addresses our philosophy, financial results, and expansion opportunities
We are looking forward to discussing with you and the investors a business opportunity in purchasing the City-County Observer shortly.
Best Regards,
Ron H. Cosby, CEO of City-County Observer
OVERVIEW OF THE CITY-COUNTY OBSERVER
The mission of the City-County Observer is to serve our community by reporting news built on honesty, trust, and journalistic integrity. Our publication is designed to provide “our readers with the information they need to live safer and more enriched lives. We consider the City–County Observer to be a “Beacon of Light” for our Community with a continuous focus on good public policy.
MISSION OF THE CITY-COUNTY OBSERVER
For more than twenty-two (22) years, the City-County Observer has served Evansville/Vanderburgh County and Southwest Indiana by reporting on issues and events that shape the lives of our citizens. The publication is built on the cornerstones of service and trust. It is nonpartisan with consistent and objective reporting.
The City-County Observer is published daily online and mobile and in our printed monthly paper at no cost. Our monthly print papers are available in many locations throughout Evansville/Vanderburgh County at no cost.
Our free publication is solely supported by local advertising. dollars.
THE RATIONALE FOR PUBLISHING THE CITY-COUNTY OBSERVER
It is widely believed that there is a major void for accurate, truthful, and nonpartisan news throughout the United States, and this need has never been more evident than now.
It is a known fact that national newspaper conglomerates have put their shareholder’s financial interests and ideological dogma over providing their readers with accurate and unbiased news.
Based upon the above premise we decided to create a locally-owned community newspaper that reports the news and does not engage in publishing unvetted rumors as though it was accurate news.
It is very important to stress that the City-County Observer respects and honors the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for the for a redress of grievances.”
Also, let us not forget that “When people Fear The Government There Is Tyranny But When The Government Fear The People There Is Liberty!” (Thomas Jefferson)
EXPOSING BAD PUBLIC POLICY OVER THE YEARS
A . Several Vanderburgh County elected officials quietly contrived a financial scheme to take away the Homestead Tax Credit from the citizens of our county. The City-County Observer was informed by several city and county employees of their concerns about the actions of some elected officials to quietly eliminate the entire HOMESTEAD TAX CREDIT in Vanderburgh County Indiana. If the scheme to negate the Homestead Tax Credit scheme had been successful, this would have cost the homeowners in our community approximately fifteen (15) million dollars per year in perpetuity. We also exposed this scheme and the issue was quickly abandoned by our elected officials.
B. The City-County Observer was informed by several civic-minded individuals that local elected officials were ready to invest in a very questionable and non-vetted business venture known as Earthcare Energy Corporation. Earthcare Energy Corporation promised our elected officials to manufacture a device that uses a natural gas pipeline pressure reduction valve to generate power. The City-County Observer proved that this device was not patented as it was represented to be and not proven to be commercially feasible. Furthermore, we exposed the reality that the Earthcare Energy Corporation owner’s and manager’s commitment to our elected officials was hyped beyond reasonable expectations for a technically informed professional. The City of Evansville elected officials stated that the city would provide a five (5) million dollar loan to Earthcare Energy Corporation and pay for its rent at the location of an abandoned factory at the Evansville Airport./. State incentives also include one (1) million in tax credits for the Earthcare Energy business venture
When all was said and done, the majority of the Evansville City Council members voted (in a split vote) to advance Earthcare Energy Corporation a sum of $250,000 in seed money to begin this project. Three (3) months after receiving the $250,000 startup money from the City of Evansville Earthcare Energy Corporation left town without meeting any of the commitments concerning this bogus startup business venture.
The majority of the elected officials who did not heed the City-County Observer’s advice concerning this failed business venture either did not run for reelection or were defeated in their reelection bids.
FUTURE PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES
We have always believed that there would be an opportunity for new owners TO expand our publishing business model into different markets of similar size.
The City-County Observer owners are at a point in life to consider a reasonable offer to purchase our publication.
