The Mustard Seed Announces Valentine’s Giveaway to Support Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse

by with No Comment Member News

Southern Indiana — February 2026 — This Valentine’s season, The Mustard Seed is inviting the community to share love with purpose through a special in-store Valentine’s Giveaway taking place at all three Mustard Seed thrift store locations in Floyds Knobs, Sellersburg, and Corydon, Indiana.

The giveaway is designed to both thank shoppers for their generosity and visibly demonstrate community support for survivors of childhood sexual abuse — the heart of The Mustard Seed’s mission.

During the giveaway period, any shopper who chooses to round up their purchase or make a monetary donation at checkout will receive a paper heart. Shoppers are invited to write their name on the front and their contact information on the back of the heart, which will then be displayed in-store as a public show of support for survivors.

At the close of business on Saturday, each Mustard Seed location — Floyds Knobs, Sellersburg, and Corydon — will randomly select one heart, resulting in three total winners. Each selected participant will receive a $100 Mustard Seed gift card. Winners will be contacted directly the following Monday.

All funds raised through round-ups and donations help The Mustard Seed continue its mission of connecting survivors to healing resources, including trauma-informed counseling and other supportive services.

The Valentine’s Giveaway will take place at all Mustard Seed thrift store locations in Floyds Knobs, Sellersburg, and Corydon, Indiana. Community members are encouraged to stop in, shop with purpose, and help fill the stores with hearts — both on the walls and in action.

Are Green Shoots Starting to Emerge After a Three-Year Manufacturing Drought?

by with No Comment 1si NewsEconomic Development
Submitted by Uric Dufrene, Ph.D., Sanders Chair in Business, Indiana University Southeast

 

Since October 2022, the ISM Manufacturing Index has been above 50 only once, a January reading that barely cleared the expansion threshold. Higher interest rates were the initial culprit behind the sector’s decline, followed more recently by tariffs, or at least the threat of tariffs. Regardless of the cause, manufacturing has remained in contraction territory for an extended period.

For manufacturing-rich regions such as Louisville Metro, Indiana, and Kentucky, this prolonged slowdown has mattered. Recent economic data, however, suggest the sector may be on the cusp of expansion, improving the outlook for these regions.

The latest encouraging signal comes from the ISM Index itself. The Institute for Supply Management’s monthly reading rose to 52.6, not only above 50 but also higher than the prior month and stronger than anticipated. Key subcomponents showed that both new orders and production moved into expansion territory, pointing to a more favorable near-term outlook.

The employment subindex also improved from the prior month, but it continues to signal contraction, now for 36 of the past 37 months. As we’ve discussed in prior columns, economic expansion does not necessarily translate into labor growth. The latest ISM report reinforces that view.

This divergence between growth and hiring helps explain recent productivity gains. The latest data show that unit labor costs declined by nearly 2 percent in the most recent quarter, while productivity rose by almost 5 percent. Workers are producing more output, and doing so more efficiently, which is helping to drive unit labor costs lower. These productivity gains, driven largely by investments in capital goods, support profitability while also helping to keep inflation in check.

The groundwork for these gains was laid years ago. In 2021, the economy experienced a near-gargantuan surge in industrial machinery investment, the largest one-year increase in more than three decades. Coming out of the pandemic, job openings far exceeded the number of available workers. Employers were forced to pivot, relying more on capital than labor simply because labor was scarce.

We are now beginning to see the payoff from those capital investments made five years ago. Some will attribute today’s productivity gains to artificial intelligence, but the shift toward capital-intensive production was set in motion well before AI became the latest headline. Growth in manufacturing accompanied by limited labor growth is likely to persist. Any reshoring of manufacturing back to the U.S. will require a competitive cost structure, and that means even more investment in automation, or capital over labor.

Productivity gains will be a key factor influencing the next Federal Reserve chair and could help justify additional rate cuts later this year, beyond what markets currently anticipate.

Turning to the labor market, the February employment report was delayed due to the brief government shutdown. The latest private-sector ADP report showed continued softness in hiring, with just 22,000 jobs added, well below expectations of 50,000. At the same time, unemployment claims remain at historically low levels, suggesting layoffs are not accelerating, despite recent high-profile announcements. Job openings, however, saw a steep decline from the prior month, hitting the lowest level since the Covid year. The job creation engine of the U.S. economy continues to sputter.

Closer to home, preliminary estimates suggest Louisville Metro will finish the year roughly flat in terms of job growth. The largest declines were seen in leisure and hospitality, which shed about 3,000 jobs, followed by transportation and warehousing, down roughly 2,000. The largest gains were in education and health services, and primarily healthcare, which added about 1,000 jobs.

As we start 2026, green shoots appear to be emerging in both manufacturing and the service side of the economy. Job growth may not fully reflect that improvement, which helps explain why the Federal Reserve may ultimately cut rates more aggressively than the two reductions currently priced into markets.

Strong Output, Slower Hiring: A Look at Recent Economic Trends

by with No Comment 1si NewsEconomic Development
submitted by Uric Dufrene, Ph.D., Sanders Chair in Business, Indiana University Southeast
 

The current macroeconomy has been described by some as a “no hire–no fire” economy. Gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of the market value of goods and services produced, has been strong, with third-quarter estimates now at 4.4%. In the most recent quarter, growth was driven primarily by a combination of the resilient consumer, and a reversal of the import surge observed during the first quarter of the year.

Despite the strong growth, comparable gains have not followed in the labor market. Payroll growth has slowed significantly from last year, and hiring activity has declined. Layoffs, however, have not surged. In fact, layoffs remain at historically low levels and well below arecession threshold of roughly 350,000 initial claims per week. Employers, it seems, are holding onto workers, but are increasingly reluctant to add new ones.

Closer to home, we are observing similar patterns across the State of Indiana. The latest state GDP report shows robust 5.1% growth in the third quarter, the strongest quarterly growth since late 2023. Yet job gains for both 2024 and 2025 are running at the slowest pace of the past decade, excluding the sharp losses associated with the COVID recession. Year over year, Indiana payroll employment is ahead by roughly 19,000 jobs, below both pre-pandemic and post-pandemic averages of approximately 27,000 and 38,000 jobs, respectively.

Interestingly, 2019 produced the third-weakest year for job growth over the past decade, with payrolls rising by only about 20,000 jobs. That year followed the implementation of tariffs in 2018, including those on steel and aluminum, an important point of reference for today.

Nearly all the jobs added over the past year in Indiana came from healthcare, which accounted for roughly 17,000 of the 19,000 net jobs gained. Other notable gains came from professional and business services, which added about 9,000 jobs, and construction, which contributed another 3,000.

Indiana remains a national hub for both manufacturing and logistics. Both sectors are particularly sensitive to trade policy, and both struggled in 2025. Transportation and warehousing shed approximately 4,000 jobs over the year, while manufacturing employment was essentially flat. For manufacturing, however, 2025 represented something of a stabilization year following losses of roughly 14,000 and 10,000 jobs in the prior two years.

Turning to Louisville Metro, the latest data show that payroll growth has modestly accelerated in the second half of the year. While the most recent figures show a net gain of about 2,000 jobs over the year, average monthly gains in the second half exceeded those seen earlier in the year. Unlike Indiana, healthcare is no longer the dominant job-creation sector in Louisville Metro, adding fewer than 1,000 jobs in 2025. Last year, Louisville healthcare drove a significant component of overall job growth.

Like Indiana, Louisville is both a manufacturing region and a logistics hub, and both sectors experienced job losses over the past year. Manufacturing employment declined only slightly, but transportation and warehousing shed approximately 2,000 jobs. Construction, by contrast, added more than 2,000 jobs.

Taken together, 2025 stands out as one of the slowest years for job growth for both Indiana and Louisville Metro. Higher interest rates initially weighed on manufacturing activity beginning in 2022. More recently, however, the impact of tariffs appears to be a growing headwind for both the Indiana economy and the Louisville Metro area. Tariff-sensitive sectors such as manufacturing and transportation and warehousing have borne the brunt of these effects. With GDP growth running strong and consumer spending remaining resilient, tariffs increasingly stand out as a key factor holding back job growth.

IU Southeast Business Students Earn Top Honors in RNMKRS Sales Competitions

by with No Comment Member News

New Albany, Ind — IU Southeast School of Business students earned top honors in the recent RNMKRS sales competitions. Students in the Personal Persuasion Strategy and Customer Relations Management class participated in the competitions, with most placing in the top 30% in at least one or more of the individual events.

IU Southeast finished first in Role Play and Speed Sell. This is the second time that IU Southeast has finished first in Role Play, and the fifth time in six years in the top two. It is also the second time IU Southeast finished first in Speed Sell. The IU Southeast team has finished in the Top 3 in Speed Sell in each term it has competed. Six out of ten of the top individual scorers in the Pilot Cold Call competition were from IU Southeast.

Carter Crews earned class champion honors and finished in the Top 1% overall in both Speed Sell and Role Play. Crews also finished 6th overall and 4th in the class in the Cold Call competition.

Cassie Walls was the overall champion in Cold Call, only the second IU Southeast student to win a RNMKRS competition. (Carolyn Kannapel was the champion in Role Play for the Fall 2024 competition.) Walls also finished Top 8% in Speed Sell and Top 28% in Role Play.

Other standout finishers included:

  • Sam Boston – Top 1% in Role Play, Top 2% in Speed Sell, and 10th overall in Cold Call
  • Lillie Weber – Top 2% in Role Play, Top 5% in Speed Sell, 2nd overall in Cold Call
  • Kiki Brown – Top 1% in Role Play, Top 2% in Speed Sell, Top 14% in Cold Call

Approximately 40 schools participated in Role Play and Speed Sell, with over 2,000 students participating in the Role Play. Cold Call was a pilot competition in which about 17 schools and 350 students participated. Other schools participating in the various competitions included IU Bloomington, Indiana State University, Boston College, Auburn University, Northern Kentucky University, Northern Illinois University, Bryant University, Purdue University Northwest, West Virginia University, Rollins College, Bowling Green State University, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and the University of Illinois at Chicago, among others.

For the Role Play competition, students represented Dell Technologies, selling rugged notebook computers to a Texas police department’s IT Manager. The goal is to earn a second appointment to demonstrate the computers and complete the sale.

In Speed Sell, students found themselves on an elevator, pitching themselves for a job interview. They have about 90 seconds to make their case and convince the manager to stay on the elevator to listen to their entire pitch.

In Cold Call, students represented a staffing company Insight Global and made a cold call, to gain a meeting to learn more about the company, and how Insight Global might be a solutions provider for them.

Dr. Chris Cox, professor of the Personal Persuasion Strategy and Customer Relations Management course, says the event is a valuable experience for his students. The ultimate goal is not to win the competitions, Cox says, but to use RNMKRS as a tool to develop sales skills that can be applied in real-world selling scenarios.

“One of the great things about these competitions is that they allow students to develop their skills anytime, anywhere, and all by themselves, without a coach or instructor standing over their shoulder. We want them to develop ‘muscle memory’ for the sales process, so they do not have to think about it; so it comes more naturally. It helps them get down the road in their development of selling skills further and faster.”

Cox says students can role-play on the web or through apps on their phones, getting instant feedback from AI.

“Students can do dozens, even hundreds, of role plays. This kind of repetition is not possible in class, with live human role-plays. The AI characters can be challenging, both because the process itself is difficult to master and because the AI is still developing; it can be frustrating. But these students powered through, and showed a level of commitment, persistence, and problem-solving skills that not only help them overcome technical challenges, but more importantly, help them develop an understanding of the sales process that they can apply in their careers, whether in professional sales or non-sales selling scenarios.”

Students in the course are currently preparing for their final face-to-face role-play in the class. Cox says he is looking forward to seeing them apply what they’ve learned.

Indiana American Water Invests $5.7 Million to Keep Life Flowing in Southern Indiana

New Binford Booster Station in New Albany Delivers Stronger Water Pressure, Greater Reliability, and Room for Growth

New Albany, Ind. – December 11, 2025 – Indiana American Water is completing a $5.7 million investment in its Southern Indiana water system with the construction of the new Binford Booster Station in New Albany, Ind. The state-of-the-art facility will improve water pressure, enhance reliability, and provide capacity to support future development for customers in Floyd and Clark counties.

 

Families and businesses from Floyd Knobs to Georgetown rely on steady water pressure every time they turn on the tap. However, aging pumps and rolling terrain made it increasingly difficult to maintain a consistent flow, especially during peak demand. In addition to serving local customers, Indiana American Water also sells water to neighboring utilities, including Ramsey Water Company, Borden Tri-County Regional Water District, and Floyds Knobs Water Company, all of which benefit from the new Binford Booster Station.

 

When it enters service before year-end, the Binford Booster Station will deliver nearly 2,400 gallons per minute of pumping capacity. It features energy-efficient, variable-speed drives that automatically adjust to real-time demand—critical during peak usage periods. Built-in redundancy ensures maintenance can be performed without disrupting service.

 

This project is part of $9 million in 2025 system upgrades, which also include replacing 16 water mains across multiple counties and targeted improvements to regional wellfields.

 

“Reliable water service is critical for public safety and economic growth. This investment not only strengthens our system today but also gives our communities the confidence to keep building for the future. By upgrading aging infrastructure and adding capacity, we’re helping to ensure that families, businesses, and first responders have the water they need—when they need it,” said Brittany Montgomery, Southern District Manager, Indiana American Water.

 

The new Binford Booster Station will deliver a range of improvements for customers and communities. Local first responders benefit from better fire-flow capability when water is needed most, while added capacity supports new housing and commercial development. Built-in redundancy minimizes service disruptions, and a broad pumping range paired with improved efficiency helps meet customer demands more effectively.

 

Indiana American Water extends its gratitude to the City of New Albany for their support with permitting, as well as to the many contractors, engineers, and design firms that made this project possible—including HTNB Corporation, EFI-Solutions, Dan Cristiani Construction, and American Structurepoint.

 

In its Southern Indiana Operations, Indiana American Water invests tens of millions of dollars annually across Southern Indiana in communities including New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Georgetown, Charlestown, portions of Sellersburg and Borden, and unincorporated Floyd and Clark counties. These investments include replacing aging mains, upgrading treatment technology, and protecting local water sources. From source to tap, our team is on call 24/7 so customers can focus on what matters most.
