Otters, Frontier League announce 2024 schedule

0

Evansville, Ind. – The Evansville Otters and Frontier League announced the schedule for the 2024 season Tuesday morning.

The Otters open their regular season on the league’s early Opening Day on Thursday, May 9, with a single game against the Windy City ThunderBolts. It is just the 4th time in the last 15 seasons the Otters begin the season on the road.

Following a weekend series in Joliet, the Otters open their home regular season on Tuesday, May 14 against West Division rivals Gateway.

Featured in the Otters schedule are three nine-game home stands, road trips to East Division foes Tri-City and Sussex County and a home series against the league’s brand new team in New England.

Evansville joins Ottawa, New Jersey, Tri-City and Schaumburg as the five teams who will begin and end their seasons on the road.

The 2024 schedule features 16 teams following New England’s arrival and Empire State’s departure. With this league change, each team will play a 48 home/48 road game schedule, altered from last year’s 51 home/45 road schedule.

In efforts to ease travels, the league has moved away from the round robin schedule – meaning teams will only play a select few teams from the opposing division.

Season ticket and group ticket packages are on sale now. Call (812) 435-8686 for more information. Individual game tickets will go on sale in the Spring.

First-of-its-kind outdoor Hydration Station unveiled at University of Evansville

0

EVANSVILLE, IND. (10/09/2023) Jack Deig’s journey began with a simple realization: that access to clean water is a pervasive global issue that needs immediate attention. He created “Hydration Station” as a way to address that issue by providing water dispensing stations that would empower and educate young people to initiate green projects within their communities.

Deig submitted the concept into the 2022 High School Changemaker Challenge, sponsored by Toyota, a pitch competition that earned him a scholarship to attend the University of Evansville. Now a UE sophomore majoring in marketing with a minor in psychology, Deig’s community-transforming idea is taking shape.

During a dedication ceremony on October 9, the first outdoor Hydration Station was revealed on the University of Evansville campus. Hydration Stations are innovative, no-contact public water refilling stations, offering free access to filtered water for all members of the community.

Originally a solo endeavor, Deig tirelessly sought funding and sponsors to bring his vision to life while working on the project in UE’s ChangeLab program. ChangeLab allows UE students to pursue passion projects while earning academic credit. “Hydration Station” has grown into a formidable team of five individuals, with their inaugural indoor station now operational at Patchwork Central. An additional station is in the works along the downtown Evansville riverfront in partnership with the EWSU.

These stations are equipped to provide unlimited refills to anyone with a reusable bottle, aligning with Deig’s philosophy that “you can’t abuse a Hydration Station.” This project is a nonprofit led by Deig and is undoubtedly a labor of love, reflecting his deep-rooted connection to the Evansville community where he grew up.

Since launching “Hydration Station” in 2022, the project has made significant strides. Deig envisions expansion throughout the city and potentially even across the nation in the coming years. He is inviting individuals to join him on this transformative mission and explore the message and impact of “Hydration Station.” This station was made possible through generous donations from Greg and Candice Hofmann, the UE Board of Visitors, and many other supporters of UE. It was installed through partnerships with EWSU, Alstadt Plumbing, Culligan Water, Alva Electric, and the UE facilities team led by Mike Averett.

Attorney General Todd Rokita provides tips for small businesses to protect themselves against rising cyber threats

During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Attorney General Todd Rokita is alerting small businesses to rising cyber threats and providing tips for them to protect themselves and their customers. 

“Cybercriminals view small businesses as easy targets and look for any weaknesses they may have in their security systems,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It’s critical for small business owners to have safeguards in place to protect their data and customers’ personal information.”

Making sure any Hoosier business has the appropriate cybersecurity controls has become a necessary step in today’s economy. The average cost incurred by a business from a data breach is now more than $4 million, and approximately 40% of small businesses worldwide have reported losing essential data due to cyber-attacks.

According to the US National Cyber Security Alliance, 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyber-attack go out of business in less than a year.

To keep your small business and consumers protected, Attorney General Rokita encourages Hoosiers to follow these tips:

  • Train employees in security principles. Establish basic security practices and policies for employees, such as requiring strong passwords.
  • Passwords and authentication. Require employees to use unique passwords and change passwords regularly. Consider implementing multi-factor authentication that requires additional information beyond a password to gain entry.
  • Protect information, computers, and networks from cyber-attacks. Having the latest security software, web browser, and operating system are the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats.
  • Provide firewall security for your Internet connection. A firewall is a set of related programs that prevent outsiders from accessing data on a private network.
  • Make backup copies of important business data and information. Regularly backup the data on all computers.
  • Secure your Wi-Fi networks. If you have a Wi-Fi network for your workplace, make sure it is secure, encrypted, and hidden.
  • Employ best practices on payment cards. Work with banks or processors to ensure the most trusted and validated tools and anti-fraud services are being used.

USI Flowers on the Lake annual ceremony to honor lives lost to domestic violence

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s Sexual Assault and Gender Violence Prevention Group will host the annual Flowers on the Lake ceremony at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 17 in front of the Liberal Arts Center followed by a ceremony at Reflection Lake. The ceremony, held in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, is open to the public at no charge.

Flowers on the Lake is an annual ceremony to honor those who have lost their lives to domestic violence and raise awareness about the warning signs of relationship abuse. Students will speak during a brief presentation about lives that have been lost as a result of domestic violence, which will be followed by a moment of silence. Guests will then proceed to Reflection Lake to scatter flower petals on top of the water in honor of survivors and in memory of victims of domestic violence.

“We hope to raise awareness of the warning signs indicative of abusive relationships and share the importance of connecting with the many University and community resources that exist,” says Catherine Champagne, Assistant Program Director for Student Wellness.

This event is sponsored by the USI Sexual Assault and Gender Violence Prevention Group and Albion Fellows Bacon Center.

In the event of rain, the event will be held at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, October 19 at the same location. For more information, contact Catherine Champagne at cchampagne@usi.edu or 812-461-5483.
