The following press release was published on the FDIC website 15 minutes ago:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 29, 2011

Integra Bank, National Association, Evansville, Indiana, was closed today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Old National Bank, Evansville, Indiana, to assume all of the deposits of Integra Bank, National Association.

The 52 branches of Integra Bank, National Association will reopen during their normal business hours beginning Saturday as branches of Old National Bank. Depositors of Integra Bank, National Association will automatically become depositors of Old National Bank. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits. Customers of Integra Bank, National Association should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from Old National Bank that it has completed systems changes to allow other Old National Bank branches to process their accounts as well.

This evening and over the weekend, depositors of Integra Bank, National Association can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.

As of March 31, 2011, Integra Bank, National Association had approximately $2.2 billion in total assets and $1.9 billion in total deposits. Old National Bank will pay the FDIC a premium of 1.0 percent to assume all of the deposits of Integra Bank, National Association. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, Old National Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and Old National Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on $1.2 billion of Integra Bank, National Association’s assets. Old National Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement. The loss-share transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For more information on loss share, please visit: http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html.

Customers with questions about today’s transaction should call the FDIC toll-free at 1-800-830-6698. The phone number will be operational this evening until 9:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., EDT; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m., EDT; and thereafter from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., EDT. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC’s Web site at http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/integra.html.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $170.7 million. Compared to other alternatives, Old National Bank’s acquisition was the least costly resolution for the FDIC’s DIF. Integra Bank, National Association is the 61st FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the first in Indiana. The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, Columbus, on September 18, 2009.

Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 1933 to restore public confidence in the nation’s banking system. The FDIC insures deposits at the nation’s 7,575 banks and savings associations and it promotes the safety and soundness of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to which they are exposed. The FDIC receives no federal tax dollars – insured financial institutions fund its operations.

This clip is more of a “feel good” Friday. Enjoy!

The Vanderburgh County Health Department (VCHD) is pleased to announce the availability of their popular Resource Guide in electronic (e) format.

The VCHD eResource Guide functions as the local phone book’s yellow pages did years ago as the “go to” resource for contact information for desired services, in this case public health related service agencies. It includes telephone numbers, addresses and other information by service provided. The Table of Contents lists each service category alphabetically and agencies are listed alphabetically in each service category.

Production of the Resource Guide started some twenty (20) years ago by the receptionist for the VCHD Public Health Outreach Nurses. The simple, single page guide included a list of telephone numbers to referral and partner agencies commonly requested by individuals visiting the health department. Over time, the list grew and became the VCHD Resource Guide. The Resource Guide is continuously updated, and has been printed numerous times since 1998.

The electronic eResource Guide looks much like the “paper hard copy version”, and includes a hyperlinked table of contents, and clickable links to the websites of the listed agencies. Almost all agencies listed in the eResource Guide have established websites with detailed information about their agency: such as; service(s), location(s), eligibility requirement(s), cost(s) – if any, etc. The Resource Guide is in portable document format (.pdf that can be opened in Adobe Reader), and is attached to this e-mail media release.

Gary Heck, VCHD Administrator says of the eResource Guide: “This is another way the Vanderburgh County Health Department adapts to changing times and tools to provide an essential community service. When individuals and families seek services other than the services currently provided by the Health Department, then our Resource Guide is available to serve as a guide to other community resources. When you have a good, useful resource in paper format (free of charge) and you continue to provide that service, but at the same time provide (24/7/365) availability; and update content continuously; and you provide the ability not only to keep a copy yourself but shared it with the world – repeated and it remains free of charge – then the good, use resource becomes – a tremendously improved resource. A valuable community service (paper version) becomes an extremely valuable community service (both paper and electronic version).” A limited number of hard copies will continue to be available by request to individuals without internet access.

Notice is hereby given by the Water and Sewer Utility Board of the City of Evansville Indiana, that an Executive Session will be held on Tuesday, August 2, 2011, beginning at 12:45p.m. in the Conference Room of the Water & Sewer Utility, Room 100, Civic Center Complex, Evansville, Indiana 47708

THE PURPOSE OF THIS EXECUTIVE SESSION IS:
DISCUSSION OF
PERSONNEL AND
LITIGATION ISSUES

With one Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation school already in session and three more to start before the end of next week, Superintendent David Smith expressed a desire to have all students in school, on time, the first day of school.

“It may seem like a day or two doesn’t matter, but for students to truly succeed – even the minutes matter because they add up to entire days or weeks of lessons missed or work not learned,” Smith said during a news conference on July 28.

In an effort to help families think about school at this time, the EVSC has begun a mini campaign putting up bus transportation billboards and enrollment information on bus benches throughout the city, to remind families how and when to enroll and where to get bus information.

By early next week, each family that has enrolled will have received a Connect-ED phone call with bus number and bus stop information; as well as a postcard with the information. Postcards will be mailed Friday and a Connect-ED message, personalized for each student – will be sent out to all parents on next week.

Enrollment begins in most schools on Friday, as well. In addition to the regular daytime hours, special evening hours have been set to allow families flexibility in enrolling before the first day of school.
Enrollment times for Elementary and Middle School/K-8 School are as follows:

Daytime Enrollment Hours
July 29: 8-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.
Aug. 2: 8-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.
Aug. 3: 8-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.
Aug. 5: 8-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.
Aug. 9: 8-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.

Evening Enrollment Hours
Aug. 1: 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 4-7 p.m.
Aug. 4: 11:30-2:30 and 4-7 p.m.

High School Enrollment
August 1-10: Call school to arrange appointment to enroll.

A new addition to the EVSC web services for parents is a new interface with Parent Access. In past years, families of students in grades 3-12 could go on EdEase Parent Access to monitor grades, assignments, absences and discipline. Now, all families will have the opportunity to update their emergency contact information on the Parent Access tab of EdEase, at any time day or night, and even on their Smart phone.

Custodial parents will receive a mailing before school starts with an access code. Families will go to the EdEase website at http://rdsteach.evsc.k12.in.us/rdsparentaccess/ and may update their contact information by clicking on their student’s name.

“This is such a helpful tool and will save families from having to fill out contact information forms year after year,” Smith said. “It also will help us contact families in the event of an emergency or school closing; or to share news about events happening at their school. Through this system, the EVSC has the ability to always have the most up-to-date contact information, to better serve our families.”
