An event for entrepreneurial veterans is scheduled for next month.

The first step is the in-person course led by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The second involves an online course.
The program is open to all veterans, including members of the National Guard and Reserve, and their spouses.

Amber’s launching
Amber’s Beauty School of Muncie has announced that it is launching a new esthetics program in June.
The program will offer training in skin care and makeup techniques. Its courses will include curriculum regarding product and ingredients, body treatments and waxing.
Buss appointed
Ball State University president Geoffrey S. Mearns announced recently that James Buss will become the new dean of its Honors College.
Buss, who is currently the dean of the Honors College and interim associate provost at Northern Kentucky University, will take over the role on June 19. He will follow John Emert, who is retiring May 31.
“After a competitive national search, I am excited to welcome Dr. Buss as Ball State University’s new Honors College dean,” Mearns said in a press release. “Throughout the hiring process, the search committee was impressed by Dr. Buss’ significant experience in building and shaping successful honors college programming; but, more importantly, he clearly shares Ball State’s values — excellence, innovation, courage, integrity, inclusiveness, social responsibility and gratitude.”
Journal Review cuts
The Journal Review of Crawfordsville announced that beginning next week it will reduce to publishing five days a week — Tuesday through Saturday — from the previous six.
The newspaper is making the change as it shifts from being printed in Terre Haute to the AIM Media Indiana facility in Greenfield.
Lilly partnering
Eli Lilly and Roche this week announced a partnership to develop a blood test for Alzheimer’s disease.
Indianapolis-based Lilly and the Swiss pharmaceuticals firm are working together on the test — Elecsys Amyloid Plasma Panel — to measure levels of a protein in the blood that has been connected with the onset of the disease, Forbes reported Wednesday. The firms hope to file clinical data in the United States in 2025.
The test “has the potential to streamline a person's journey to diagnosis,” Roche Diagnostics chief executive Matt Sause told Forbes.
Deals closed
Two firms with plans for local projects recently closed deals for renewable energy facilities.
Invenergy, which is planning Skycrest Solar in northwest Jay County, announced that it has been awarded a contract for a 350 megawatt wind energy project in Quebec, Canada. Leeward Energy, which is planning Rose Gold Solar north of Dunkirk, announced it has closed about $75 million in financing for its Horizon solar facility in Frio County, Texas.
