Bike camp gives children chance to learn how to ride a bike
EVANSVILLE, Ind (WEHT) – Children in Evansville are getting a chance to learn how to ride a bicycle thanks to Easterseals. About 30 children and youth with disabilities are attending the annual bike camp. They started yesterday using adapted bicycles featuring wide rollers that are almost impossible to tip over. The training helps build their confidence and get them ready to ride on their own. We're told while the first day had a few crashes, the kids were still excited to come back. Officials say events like these are not possible without volunteers and community. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Drive Clean Indiana eyeing Evansville as its next big E-V charging hub
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) – Drive Clean Indiana held a seminar at Red Bank Library on Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure opportunities in Evansville. The non-profit organization is a subsidiary of US Department of Energy, which has begun rolling out their GOEVIN initiative for 2025. Executive Director Carl Lisek says GOEVIN is aimed at raising support for EV charging stations in an effort to find potential grant applicants to build infrastructure with. GOEVIN is striving to build strong partnerships with local businesses and government bodies that are committed to making Indiana green for years to come. Only three percent of vehicles registered in Indiana are EV's. GOEVIN aims to change this by establishing more charging stations in the state, giving Hoosiers more choices. The program has received no federal funding thanks to Volkswagen who has pledged nearly four million towards the construction of hubs in Indiana. Over three million of that will build Direct Current Fast Charging (D-C-F-C) stations. The price tag is a hefty one for these chargers due to their power usage and ability to charge vehicles quickly. Lisek and his team also want to implement Level two charging stations in Evansville. These stations are catered toward EV drivers that travel long distance and have down time for a slower charge. Due to less energy demands, the non-profit has allocated around one hundred and seventy thousand for the construction of these stations. The Drive Clean Indiana team is committed to making Evansville a cleaner and safer place to live. Although there are critics Lisek says, 'You are going to run into that no matter the technology. Education is key, showing success, getting people behind the wheels of electric vehicles, I think that has been one of our successes.' With the help of Evansville officials, Lisek team hopes to have Evansville working as a fully functional EV charging hub by late December of 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Canadian Grand Prix to run on the same day as the Indianapolis 500 in 2026
The Canadian Grand Prix will be held at the same time as the Indianapolis 500 in 2026. (Photo by Bryn Lennon - Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty Images) The days of the Monaco Grand Prix preceding the Indianapolis 500 on Memorial Day weekend are gone. At least for now. Formula 1 released its 2026 schedule on Tuesday and it includes the series going head-to-head with the Indianapolis 500. The Monaco Grand Prix has moved back to June and will take place on June 7. In its place is the Canadian Grand Prix, which will be held on May 24. Advertisement This year's Canadian Grand Prix is set to be held on Sunday and has traditionally been held in mid-June. But next year's date swap is being made for travel-related reasons. Monaco will be the first race of the season in Europe. By moving the Canadian Grand Prix up and Monaco back, F1 will have nine straight European races. Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix is set to start at 2 p.m. ET for a primetime start in Europe. Assuming the race keeps that start time, it will overlap with the end of the Indy 500. The Indy 500 was scheduled to go green at 12:45 p.m. ET this year but was delayed for rain showers. The Monaco Grand Prix hasn't been held on Memorial Day weekend every year of its existence, but its absence from the same day of the Indy 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 will be a stark change for race fans who have become accustomed to watching all three events in the same day. The ninth and final European race of the year will also be a new race on the calendar. F1 will host a second race in Spain on a street circuit in Madrid on Sept. 13. That race replaces Imola on the calendar. Imola has held a spring Grand Prix in recent years, but is being dropped for 2026 and beyond. Advertisement The 2026 season begins again in Australia before races in China and Japan ahead of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The Miami Grand Prix will be on May 3, while the United States Grand Prix in Austin will be on Oct. 25 and the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be on Nov. 21. The Vegas race will again be followed by races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi to close the season. 2026 Formula 1 schedule March 8: Australian Grand Prix March 15: Chinese Grand Prix March 29: Japanese Grand Prix April 12: Bahrain Grand Prix April 19: Saudi Arabian Grand Prix May 3: Miami Grand Prix May 24: Canadian Grand Prix June 7: Monaco Grand Prix June 14: Spanish Grand Prix Advertisement June 28: Austrian Grand Prix July 5: British Grand Prix July 19: Belgian Grand Prix July 26: Hungarian Grand Prix Aug. 23: Dutch Grand Prix Sept. 6: Italian Grand Prix Sept. 13: Madrid Grand Prix Sept. 27: Azerbaijan Grand Prix Oct. 11: Singapore Grand Prix Oct. 25: United States Grand Prix Nov. 1: Mexico Grand Prix Nov. 8: São Paulo Grand Prix Nov. 21: Las Vegas Grand Prix Nov. 29: Qatar Grand Prix Dec. 6: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
