Good morning, Evansville.

Members of the food industry gathered today at Feed Evansville’s Grocery Summit to discuss food waste and insecurity concerns.

Executive Director Lisa Vaughan said leaders will share trends, set strategies + plan a Christmas in July canned food drive to help during peak food insecurity later this summer.

Ricardo Homero Carreon Perez, 31, tried to take a credit card from a man's hand and punched him at a gas station on north First Avenue Wednesday afternoon—he was arrested and now faces robbery, battery, public intoxication, and resisting law enforcement charges.

Grant Watson from Bosse High School received 54.5 percent of the 3,486 votes to become Courier & Press Student of the Week.

He will graduate with an Academic Honors Diploma and plan to attend DePauw University this fall.

A bill that would ban buying, selling, or operating signal jamming devices is headed to Governor Mike Braun’s desk after a Vanderburgh County robbery incident.

If signed, the law will take effect later this year — making the use of signal jammers a felony.

After winning a double overtime game on Wednesday, the Evansville Thunderbolts head back to Evansville tonight for Game 2 of the SPHL President's Cup finals—facing the Knoxville Ice Bears.

A win will give the team a chance to secure its first-ever title.

The Evansville Thunderbolts won their first President’s Cup title when they beat the Ice Bears 2 to 1 in overtime — goaltender Cole Ceci was honored as SPHL Playoff MVP.

The Thunderbolts returned to Evansville tonight to face Knoxville in game two of the SPHL Championship Series after winning game one in overtime against the Ice Bears—Max Parker and Aaron Hancock will cover Thursday’s game as Evansville aims to win the series.
