A New Baby at the Zoo! Male Colobus Monkey Makes Debut Monday

0

images Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden is celebrating the arrival of a healthy male Colobus Monkey.    Malachite, “Mally” for short, was born to first-time mother, Garnet, and is thriving.

Mally will be introduced to the public at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, January 13th in the Children’s Enchanted Forest.  Mally is a great success story in regards to his significance in the overall Association of Zoos and Aquariums Colobus Species Survival Program and his mother’s unique upbringing.  Zookeepers will tell Mally’s story and answer questions during the debut.  Both the public and media are invited to celebrate the first Colobus Monkey born at the zoo since 2009.

 

Native to Africa, these primates are black and white in color but are born completely white.  The Colobus Monkey is unique because, unlike other monkeys, it does not have thumbs. When temperatures are above 45 degrees, the 4 Colobus Monkeys at the zoo will be in their outdoor habitat.
Established in 1928, Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden is Indiana’s first zoo.  For more general zoo information, visit www.meskerparkzoo.com.

IS IT TRUE January 11, 2014 (Weekend Edition #1)

IS IT TRUE January 11, 2014 (Weekend Edition #1)

IS IT TRUE the United States has a serious skills gap in our society that is preventing jobs that are readily available from finding worthy candidates to fill these jobs?… in 1970 when 11% of adult Americans had bachelor’s degrees or more, degree holders were viewed as the nation’s best and brightest?…today, with over 30% of the adult population having degrees, a significant portion of college graduates are similar to the average American?…that is to say that your average college graduate is not demonstrably smarter or more disciplined than anyone else?… declining academic standards and grade inflation add to employers’ perceptions that college degrees say little about job readiness?…easy access to college loans and self-serving college recruiters have enticed many people who were not traditional college material into higher education and have diminished the value of their product while raising the price in a shameless manner?

IS IT TRUE the 2013 study by the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, found explosive growth in the number of college graduates taking relatively unskilled jobs?…the United States now has more college graduates working in retail than soldiers in the U.S. Army?…the United States now has more janitors with bachelor’s degrees than chemists?… in 1970, less than 1% of taxi drivers had college degrees now four decades later, more than 15% do?…applications to top universities are booming, as employers recognize these graduates will become our society’s future innovators and leaders?…the earnings differential between bachelor’s and master’s degree holders has grown in recent years, as those holding graduate degrees are perceived to be sharper and more responsible?…this has happened at a time when the earnings between bachelor’s degree holders and simple high school graduates has closed to nearly nothing?

IS IT TRUE unless colleges plan to offer master’s degrees in janitorial studies, they will have to change and change quick to stay in business?…colleges and universities currently have little incentive to do so, as they are often strangled by tenure rules, spoiled by subsides from government and rich alumni, and more interested in trivial things like second-rate research by third-rate scholars and ball-throwing contest than they are in imparting knowledge to the next generation?…colleges will have to constrain costs in the near future as the value of their product is diminished and as the wealth of the paying parents is taken away to expand the federal government?…electronic and online learning are coming and coming quick and are sure to disrupt the traditional business model of brick and mortar universities?…with colleges like Georgia Tech, Stanford, and others entering the online education business at a fraction of the cost of a traditional education others will have to respond?…the American education system from K – Ph.D. may well be the last of the buggy whip business models to see itself decimated by failing to innovate and adapt?…it is ironic that these are the very skills that were taught in schools before the bureaucrats took them over?

The “Official” Berry Plastics Announcement

1

January 10, 2014

News Release

Evansville, Ind. — Berry Plastics Corporation (NYSE: BERY) announced plans today to relocate equipment and related production from out-of-state locations to four Indiana manufacturing operations, creating up to 336 new jobs by the end of 2014.

“There’s a reason why manufacturing companies looking for a competitive advantage continue to choose Indiana,” said Governor Mike Pence. “As a state that works, Indiana offers a strong legacy in building products that are used around the world. We provide the knowledgeable workforce and low-cost business environment companies like Berry Plastics are seeking when they decide where to locate their next investment, proving why Indiana is a manufacturing leader.”

The company, which employs approximately 2,800 associates in Indiana and more than 15,000 worldwide, will invest more than $21 million for new infrastructure and equipment, and will also invest $10 million to transfer existing equipment from Berry Plastics facilities outside Indiana to its downtown Evansville, Evansville airport, Princeton and Richmond facilities. The company will begin filling new production jobs at these four Indiana locations early this year.

“The relocation of production equipment to Vanderburgh, Gibson and Wayne counties from other Berry facilities supports our restructuring efforts, announced in November 2013, to optimize our manufacturing operations, maximize production efficiencies and best service our customers,” said Jon Rich, chairman and chief executive officer of Berry Plastics. “We are extremely appreciative of Indiana’s city, county and state officials for their joint support of this initiative.”

Today’s Indiana expansion announcement is the company’s fourth in five years. In 2011, Berry Plastics announced plans to grow its world headquarters workforce in Evansville by 120 associates. That same year, it also made plans to add a $5 million production line to increase manufacturing capacity at its operations in Odon, Ind. In 2009, the company unveiled plans to hire 360 employees and invest $150 million to expand its thermoform operations and build an additional facility in Evansville, Ind.

Originally established in 1967 as Imperial Plastics, Berry Plastics has grown into a major manufacturer of plastic packaging including containers, bottles, closures, prescription vials, trash bags, duct tape and other packaging materials.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Berry Plastics Corporation up to $2,350,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $300,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Evansville will consider additional tax abatement at the request of the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville.

“Berry Plastics continues to demonstrate its commitment to our city with another major expansion that will create hundreds of new production jobs at its Evansville facility. The partnership between the city and Berry Plastics has produced new investments exceeding $64 million and a total of 395 production jobs over the past two years,” said Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.

Berry Plastics’ announcement to expand in the Hoosier State adds to the recent good news about Indiana’s economy. In November, Indiana led the nation in its percentage of private sector job growth. It gained 25,300 private sector jobs that month, the largest one-month increase in the Hoosier State on record.

The IEDC oversees programs enacted by the General Assembly including tax credits, workforce training grants and public infrastructure assistance. All tax credits are performance-based. Therefore, companies must first invest in Indiana through job creation or capital investment before incentives are paid. A company who does not meet its full projections only receives a percentage of the incentives proportional to its actual investment. For more information about IEDC, visit www.iedc.in.gov.

ISPPosey County – Thursday afternoon, January 9th, at approximately 5:15, Sergeant Russ Werkmeister was patrolling SR 62 near St. Phillips Road when he observed a 2007 Freightliner truck parked along the westbound birm. As Sergeant Werkmeister was pulling in behind the vehicle to check on the driver’s status, the driver began to pull away without activating his lights.

Berry Plastics Group Announces Plans to Relocate Manufacturing Equipment to Indiana Facilities

 berry-logo-main

Today, Berry Plastics announced plans to further optimize production and relocate manufacturing equipment to four of its Indiana manufacturing operations. The Company will invest approximately $31 million for new infrastructure and equipment, and will also transfer existing equipment from other Berry Plastics facilities. The project will begin in early 2014 and will result in the addition of more than 330 production jobs, over the next two years, at the Company’s downtown Evansville, Evansville airport, Princeton, and Richmond facilities located within Vanderburgh, Gibson, and Wayne counties in Indiana.

“The relocation of production equipment to Vanderburgh, Gibson, and Wayne counties from other Berry facilities supports our restructuring efforts, announced in November 2013, to optimize our manufacturing operations, maximize production efficiencies, and best service our customers,” said Jon Rich, Chairman and CEO of Berry Plastics. “We are extremely appreciative of Indiana’s city, county, and state officials and other partners such as GAGE and Vectren for their joint support of this initiative.”

To encourage the investment and job creation in Indiana, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) offered the Company a grant up to $300,000 to facilitate job skills training and $2.35 million in Economic Development for Growing Economy (EDGE) tax credits which may be certified over the next 10 years. In addition, the City of Evansville offered the Company a 10-year Tax Phase-In on real property investment, with an estimated value of $1.7 million, and a Modified Schedule of Tax Abatement on personal property investment, with an estimated value of $2.8 million. The City also offered a Hiring/Training Grant with a maximum of $100,000.

In early 2014, the Company will begin accepting applications for the aforementioned production jobs, which will be posted in the Career section of the Company’s website.

“There’s a reason why manufacturing companies looking for a competitive advantage continue to choose Indiana,” said Governor Mike Pence. “As a state that works, Indiana offers a strong legacy in building products that are used around the world. We provide the knowledgeable workforce and low-cost business environment companies like Berry Plastics are seeking when they decide where to locate their next investment, proving why Indiana is a manufacturing leader.”

“Berry Plastics continues to demonstrate its commitment to our city with another major expansion that will create 280 new production jobs at its Evansville facility. The partnership between the city and Berry Plastics has produced new investments exceeding $64 million and a total of 395 production jobs over the past two years,” said Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.

“As Berry Plastics continues to make significant investments in our community, it’s equally important that we, as their energy provider, support this economic growth,” said Carl Chapman, Vectren’s president, chairman and CEO. “We wanted to ensure the current contract design fostered long-term expansion opportunities, including a competitive rate structure tied to job growth. We look forward to our continued partnership with Berry Plastics in the coming years and assurance of safe, reliable energy service as their expansion efforts become operational.”

“Economic development incentives and a business-friendly environment are just as important to helping our existing companies as they are to attracting new companies. They allowed Berry to choose Evansville for more investment and for 280 of these jobs, with a forecasted economic impact of over $1.8 billion per year,” added Deborah Dewey, President of the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville.
