From the Editor

Close to Home

H

ow was your summer? Mine was fine, and short. A July summer-fun injury has kept me close to home as the summer winds down. Don’t feel too badly about me missing out. While recovering, I still was able to travel to Indianapolis to see my youngest son and his teammates swim at the Indiana Age Group State Swimming Finals at the IUPUI Natatorium, visit the Indianapolis Zoo, see Steely Dan in concert at the Louisville Palace, and visit relatives in Greeneville, Tenn. Still, with a black eye and broken ankle, I haven’t felt much like getting out here in town.

So, I spent much of July and August in my home, a place I like a lot.

What did I do with the extra time at home? I wasn’t industrious enough to organize all the family pictures scattered about and in boxes. I cooked plenty, but can’t say that I prepared anything remarkable. We have entertained recently. That’s really what I like about being at home — the ease and comfort of spending time with visiting relatives, a family friend in town from Houston, or 20 sixthgraders dancing around our bonfire.

Since I’ve worked more from home, I’ve spent extra time with our 16-month-old Mountain Cur rescue dog, Jed. I’ve played with him lots; trained him not so much. He’s been good company and solid guidance for me as we’ve curated content for the September/October Evansville Living — Dog vs. Cat — our clever cover presentation (we think) of our feature on pets, “For Pets’ Sake” (page 42). Your comments and requests, along with our observations on the importance and success of social media in placing pets for adoption and finding lost pets, helped guide our content. We know there are so many pet stories to be told. I suspect we will hear from readers eager to share how they have connected with their unique pets, and we welcome that. I am quite sure this will not be the last time we feature pets.

We introduce with this issue a new story in the Good Living section of the magazine, “Why Not Evansville?” This magazine was borne from those three words. That, and inspiration from a peer magazine posing the same question, set us about asking “Why Not Evansville?” We brainstormed for ideas.

In Amsterdam, Netherlands, I saw car dealerships and a luxury mall built into interstate sound barriers, and a laser tag arena built into an overpass along the port. Why not Evansville? We’ll save those ideas for later. (Please read about my tour of the Netherlands and Belgium on page 36.) We were inspired by a fun event in Louisville, Ky., a trolley hop, to investigate as our first topic (page 23). Do you find yourself asking, “Why not Evansville?” Please share your ideas with us.

As always, I look forward to hearing from you.

I have really enjoyed your blog about homes on Lombard Avenue. It reminded me that my dad lived there while in high school. Stan Schmitt, a library assistant at Willard Library who also is the Vanderburgh County Historian, was kind enough to look up the addresses: 814 and 768 Lombard. I think people moved around a lot in those days. Lucy and I will drive by during our visit next summer.

Contributors “Crafting the string art project (page 54) was so much fun and therapeutic. As a designer, it’s nice to get away from the computer and do something creative with my hands.”

“Philip Lawrence is one of the best songwriters in America, but he doesn’t take himself too seriously.

No one should ever take themselves too seriously.”

Rachel Wambach

Louis La Plante

Rachel Wambach is an Evansville native and holds a bachelor’s degree in visual communications design from Purdue University. She worked as a graphic artist for Tucker Publishing Group. Now, she is a freelance graphic designer and owner of Sprout Design. She and her good friend, Emily Endress, formed a group called Craft-tacular to satisfy their crafting addictions in their spare time. Each month, the members of Craft-tacular tackle two completely new crafts. Most of the crafts turn out great. Sometimes the results are disastrous, but the Craft-tacular motto is to not take the projects too seriously. The point is to get together, have fun, and make some cool stuff.

Louis La Plante is no music snob. “If it’s got a beat, I’ll dance to it,” says the one-time Evansville Living managing editor. La Plante’s assignment for this issue was like music to his ears. In 15 Minutes (page 122), he interviews Philip Lawrence, a singer, songwriter, and music producer best known for his work with pop artist Bruno Mars.

A professional creative manager, La Plante worked for Evansville Living for more than five years. He last wrote for the magazine in 2011 before departing for Chicago to tweet about project management. “My job is more complicated than that, but I like to pretend tweeting is an art form,” he says.

His Twitter handle is @louislaplante.

“Working on these stories showed me that there are so many more exciting and amazing things happening in and around the Evansville area than I would have ever thought.”

Nick Hebebrand “As a rising junior at DePauw University, I would just like to thank Tucker Publishing Group for giving me the opportunity to gain valuable experience. Now I can tell people that I’ve actually used my English education since I’m always asked what I could possibly do with an English degree. Among the subjects of these stories are some truly inspiring individuals and tremendous causes, so I hope the reader enjoys reading about them as much as I did writing about them.”

Spotlight on Success

Holly’s House stands as a living testament organizations in the area to the idea that something truly amazing can arise after great tragedy. The facility, which opened in September 2008, is named for Holly Dunn Pendleton, a University of Kentucky graduate and Evansville native who, in August 1997, survived a brutal attack by the “Railroad Serial Killer” in Lexington, Ky. Holly’s House was established as a place where victims of intimate crimes and abuse would feel safe and empowered. While not a shelter, the facility acts as an advocate on behalf of these victims by providing support, promoting justice, and preventing further violence. Its service area reaches nine southwest Indiana counties, including Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, and Spencer.

As part of its prevention efforts, Holly’s House has educated more than 4,000 elementary school children about the “Think First & Stay Safe” program, which covers topics such as how to prevent sexual exploitation, prevent school violence, teach Internet safety, drugs and personal safety, and how to foster self-esteem.

Music Man One would be hard-pressed to

find a facet of the music business that Newburgh, Ind.-based David Wells isn’t involved in these days.

The 56-year-old Wells performs live regularly, puts out his own albums, and handles production, booking, and promotion for a handful of fellow musicians through his own record label. You might catch him behind the controls at his recording studio or hosting episodes for his podcast, which features lesser-known artists from Great Britain. He also finds time to serve as president and founder of Wellness Communications, a healthcarebased marketing firm headquartered in Newburgh.

“I’m a workaholic,” Wells says with a chuckle. “Most of the time, nothing I do really feels like work, though, and I think that’s important.” The Fairfield, Ill., native hasn’t looked back since taking his first piano lessons at age five. Wells picked up the trombone in the fifth grade and stuck with the instrument through high school, eventually landing a music scholarship to Murray State University. Although he switched his major to communications before graduating, he never lost his enthusiasm for music.

Wells’ tool of the trade these days is the guitar, an instrument he used to craft the songs on his latest project, a solo album titled “Thank God for Thomas Edison.” The new record offers a lighthearted blend of rock, pop, and Americana, served up with a

glossy studio polish. “I had a really good time with the songwriting and the lyrics,” he says. “I wanted to make this one marketable and fun.”

The new album’s title track reflects Wells’ state of mind while attending the annual Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn., in 2012 — an experience that inspired much of his new material. “I was staying in a tent without access to basic everyday things, and I realized how thankful I was for electricity and technology, especially when I looked to the stage and saw the great light shows that different bands were putting on,” he explains. The song’s chorus puts it in cleverly succinct terms: “Thank God for Thomas Edison, he made my favorite medicine … possible to play.”

The album represents a stylistic departure from the more introspective material on Wells’ 2010 debut solo release. That album, called “Open Heart — Open Mind,” was inspired by his experiences surviving open-heart surgery in 2001 and four broken vertebrae, broken ribs, a broken left clavicle, and a broken left shoulder blade in 2006. “It was very much about rediscovering yourself and what’s important in your life,” he says.

“I like how both of these albums have a distinct identity.”

Wells and Ennis both handle engineering and production duties at the four-room studio, which features hardwood floors, guitar coat hangers on the wall, and a shrine to The Dude, the iconic character played by Jeff Bridges in the 1998 Coen Brothers film “The Big Lebowski.”

While Wells enjoys juggling multiple projects, the art of songwriting is an outlet he can always return to. “I really enjoy the writing process, which is kind of like giving birth to a baby,” he says.

“You start with an idea and it grows, and it takes on an identity of its own during the creative process.”

Jazzed Up For four days starting on July 29, 1960, Evansville hosted a total of 15 entertainment acts, including the late Dinah Washington, Benny Goodman, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, and Cannonball Adderley at the Indiana Jazz Festival. The event took place in response to French Lick, Ind.’s decision to cancel its leg of the World Jazz Series broadcasted live by CBS Television. The resort town made its decision after watching the live broadcast of riots at the world-famous Newport, R.I., Jazz Festival on July 2, 1960.

The riots were caused by an intoxicated mob seeking access to the sold-out festival. Yet here in Evansville, Hal Lobree saw an opportunity. The young geologist/oilman and jazz fan, a Texas native, approached then-mayor Frank McDonald Sr. and other civic leaders about hosting the concert at Roberts Stadium in Evansville. Given the go-ahead, Lobree notified the organizers at French Lick that indeed Evansville would roll out the red carpet to host the series of jazz greats.

Gene Lees, the editor of the classic jazz magazine, Down Beat, came in early and agreed to emcee the whole weekend.

Evansville Police Chief Darwin Covert and Vanderburgh County Sheriff Gresham Grim marshaled their forces, canceling vacations for local law enforcement. Wealthy local residents offered up their homes to house the visiting musicians.

The concert was such a rousing success that the late great Dinah Washington performed an extra night. Traveling jazz

fanatics slept on cots in the cooler woods near the stadium.

Lees reported in a summer edition of Down Beat what a progressive and welcoming city Evansville was. “Make no mistake: if this festival is handled well this year and next (and, evidently, tickets have sold so well that a repeat performance already looks inevitable), it can make America conscious of Evansville.”

Newport realized the error of its ways and reinstated its festival in 1962. The Indiana Jazz Festival, meanwhile, continued for just one more year and featured Duke Ellington, Mel Tormé, and others before eventually ending its run due to low audience turnout. Still, Lobree was awarded the Civitan Club’s “Outstanding Citizen Award” in 1960 for his efforts to bring national attention to his adopted home.

tian Life Center, an independent non-profit organization devoted to community outreach through a variety of services. But for almost 90 years, the structure at 509 S. Kentucky Ave. was the location of the Monastery of Saint Clare.

The monastery was established when Mother Mary Magdalen Bentivoglio came to Evansville in 1897 after one of her fellow sisters in a convent in Omaha, Neb., inherited some land from an Evansville relative. The Kentucky Avenue structure became the convent’s third monastery building.

On July 6, 1984, the Monastery of Saint Clare moved to 6825 Nurrenbern Road,

where there are currently eight sisters devoted to living a life of prayer, community, and joy. The new monastery sits on land that belonged to the Diocese of Evansville and was donated

by Bishop Francis Shea. Meanwhile, a businessman and his family donated the former monastery to the Evansville Christian Life Center organization.

“We are a group of religious women and our main work is prayer,” says Sister Jeanne Maffett. “We are considered contemplative nuns because we don’t have an active apostolate.”

Fighting the Good Fight Lory White’s ultrasound saved her life Despite annual mammograms and no family history of breast cancer, Lory White, 51, was diagnosed with invasive ductal/lobular carcinoma in March. She had no lump. In fact, the diagnosis came after she had a negative mammogram. She obtained an ultrasound of her dense breasts on the previous advice of medical professionals.

White credits the ultrasound procedure with saving her life. The ultrasound and subsequent MRI revealed several areas of cancer in her left breast. White is triple positive for estrogen receptors (meaning her cancer is sensitive to the hormone estrogen), progesterone receptors (meaning her cancer is sensitive to the hormone progesterone), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2 promotes the accelerated growth of cancer cells. This gene mutation causes cancer cells to make an excess of HER2. The mutation occurs in about one of every five breast cancers, according to the Mayo

Clinic. This gene mutation can occur in other types of cancers and is not inherited.

“Mammograms are great for most people, but ... I was told for a couple of years that my breasts were dense and that an ultrasound was going to show more,” White says.

“My cancer was no longer contained. Where would I have been if I had waited a whole year until the next mammogram?”

White is the co-owner of Achieve Academy of Dance and Tumbling, 7635 Big Cynthiana Road. She is the mother of four and stepmother of two and lives next door to her dance studio.

After she received the news, White opted to have both breasts removed. She says she was looking out for the best interests of her family.

“It is not about what makes me feel comfortable, it’s about what makes my family and kids feel comfortable,” White says. “So, we all took a vote and decided to have the other removed, too.

I don’t want that chance of it coming back.“ Along with chemotherapy, White also was prescribed Herceptin, which specifically targets White’s type of cells, blocks them, and reduces the chance of recurrence. Her final Herceptin treatment should be in April 2014. She will soon begin a five-year regimen of the oral chemotherapy drug, Tamoxifen.

The ultrasound was White’s key to uncovering her diagnosis, but unless a woman has dense breasts, an ultrasound may not be necessary, according to Sheila Seiler, executive director of the Evansville Tri-State Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “One should check with their healthcare professional for the screening tests best for them,” she adds.

Now, breast cancer advocacy is White’s newfound mission. She will have reconstructive surgery after this year’s Komen Evansville Tri-State Race for the Cure on Sept. 28 in Downtown Evansville, so she plans to be at the annual cancer awareness event.

“I hope I can walk the majority of it, and if not, then they will have a wheelchair to push me,” White says.

“I am going to fight the fight, so I can dance the dance.”

Tuning In Words flow easily for many people.

For others, however, speaking can be a daily struggle. SongShine is a national non-profit program aimed at regaining vocal strength that has found its way to Evansville. Its students typically suffer from Parkinson’s disease, stroke, aging voices, or a neurological disorder — all of which can hamper speaking ability.

SongShine began at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., under the direction of Ruthanna Metzgar. Though the program is not intended to replace traditional speech therapy, SongShine uses singing and various vocal exercises to teach its students how to speak with a forward vocal placement to push the sound out and produce a “microphone effect.” Maury Hart, the director of SongShine Evansville, stresses “we’re coaching the vocal athlete.” This means students talk on the breath rather than relying solely on vocal chords. This results in a cleaner and focused sound.

How can we help?

why not evansville

Our nationally recognized custom publishing and design team can assist you with a variety of projects including logo creation, branding, collateral material, annual reports, and inserts for the magazine.

Evansville Living was founded on a question: Why not Evansville?

We think it’s a question that can be asked of many ideas we collect from experiences and observations. These proposals, like our first topic – a trolley hop – might be inspired by other cities, or, perhaps an idea is the result of a brainstorm. trolley hop, like Louisville, Ky.’s, Republic Bank First Friday Trolley Hop?

the background:

Louisville’s transit authority began offering trolley service to downtown Louisville in 1987 after a nearly 40-year hiatus.

In 1996, trolley service was introduced on Main and Market streets in Louisville, and today three trolleys serve downtown Louisville’s business district. On the first Friday of every month, the First Friday Trolley Hop carries passengers to visit galleries and shops along Main and Market streets to shop, visit galleries, and enjoy music, food, and libations.

“I’ve been doing the First Friday Trolley Hop on Main Street in Louisville since it began in 2001,” says Carla Carlton, a Louisville resident and Evansville Living freelance writer. “Back then, just a handful of art galleries participated; the Hop was an attempt to lure people downtown at night by offering wine and snacks. It worked. Now it’s a huge street party — places stay open late and many offer live music or other entertainment.

You can park in designated lots, hop on a trolley, and get off anywhere along the route. And it’s all free.”

why not evansville?

The Metropolitan Evansville Transit System introduced downtown trolley service around 1974. Today the city has one trolley operating Monday through Saturday, 6:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., carrying passengers on an hour loop of Main Street and North Main Street, departing from the downtown terminal.

(Newburgh, Ind., too, has a trolley.)

We asked Philip Hooper, executive director of the Department of Metropolitan Development, “Why not Evansville?” He says it’s possible here. It would require city coordination, financial backing, and the support of a reinvigorated Downtown advocacy group that would promote multiple areas of the city. That’s what’s worked for Louisville’s Trolley Hop, which has the financial support of Republic Bank and the backing of an entire community, Hooper says.

Where can I find a graphic designer to help me through the process?

our verdict:

Evansville could have a trolley hop, especially considering the success Louisville has seen with its event. In fact, the First Friday Trolley Hop in Louisville inspired a second event, the Frankfort Avenue Trolley Hop. “F.A.T. Friday is held the last Friday of the month in several adjacent neighborhoods east of downtown,” Carlton says. “Like its predecessor, it has expanded to take in additional streets since it started in 2004. Who knows?

Maybe one day soon the entire city will be hopping.”

Evansville Tennis Center

Serving the community The completion of the Evansville Tennis Center brings order to the courts

By Mark Mathis • Photos by Zach Straw

It

took some time, but the Evansville Tennis Center has lifted off nicely on the northeast side of the city.

The huge metal building at 5428 Davis Lant Drive has a mezzanine and some space for spectators. It has been open since October 2012 and is adorned with a large sign on the back of the building facing Lynch Road near N. Green River Road.

Inside, there is a high-level feel to the main part of the building, which houses six courts that meet the specifications of the United States Tennis Association for sanctioned events. They are blue courts, just like you’d see at the U.S. Open. Called championship (level) courts, you certainly couldn’t argue if you’re looking at them under the brilliant LED lighting system.

“It’s all LED lighting, which is the best in the country available now,” says Anna Hazlett, who has been the driving force behind the Evansville Tennis Center. “We shouldn’t have to replace a bulb for four years.”

Hazlett is the general manager at ETC, that grew from the passing of Advantage Court and Fitness, which was torn down with the demolition of the parking garage at the old Executive Inn Hotel in Downtown Evansville.

But she also has been a major force in the development of tennis in the area, in general, for years.

A lifelong tennis player and coach, Hazlett’s family opened Advantage with three indoor courts to give families other tennis playing options. Some top juniors also came from the Advantage programs.

Brenna Wu grew up playing at Advantage. The 18-year-old teamed with Macie Elliott to win the Indiana High School Athletic Association state doubles championship for Reitz Memorial High School back in June in Indianapolis.

“I started playing when I was 10 at Advantage,” Wu said. “Advantage to most of us was another home.”

Helping to provide more indoor courts and continuing to develop more junior tennis programs also pushed Hazlett to get the ETC built. Hazlett and the Evansville Community Tennis Association worked to raise funds for the ETC. “It was very important to me personally to see more courts

A Service to Love // The Evansville Tennis Center houses six full-

sized courts beneath an impressive LED lighting system. General Manager Anna Hazlett, middle, has played a significant role in the development and success of the new facility. The ETC seeks to grow the sport of tennis, and it offers classes to every age group. Stretching their arms, the beginning level class (ages 5 to 8) warm up for the day.

built in Evansville, to give the next generation a chance to play tennis,” Hazlett said.

“My personal mission is to get Evansville ready for (this) century because we’re lacking in courts. Part of the mission statement of ECTA is to grow tennis. It’s very hard to do that if we don’t have enough courts.”

Hazlett and her family have long been involved with the ECTA, and they have coordinated fundraising efforts for many years to both build and maintain courts in the city. “We have always worked with the ECTA over the years we have fund-raised with them,” Hazlett said.

ECTA has been heavily involved in the refurbishment of the 12 outdoor courts at the Wesselman Tennis Center at Wesselman Park. ECTA maintains ETC Wesselman with private money, but Wesselman is for public use.

The Women’s Hospital 2013 Classic was played at ETC Wesselman. That facility also hosted more than 200 young players in junior programs. “A lot of our programming and camps were done at Wesselman, and a lot of our leagues are at Wesselman, because those championships are all outside,” Hazlett said.

There are a significant number of league participants, which led to the decision to build six courts at Evansville Tennis Center instead of four. The public can also use the facility via membership or day passes. “We ended up building six courts mainly because of our leagues,” Hazlett said.

Having six courts means the ETC is able to attract more college tournaments, and they may be used as rain backup courts for the Women’s Hospital Classic, the USTA Pro Circuit event held each July that helps young women earn points to qualify for higher-level tours.

The ETC’s busiest months now will be in December, January, and February. There are plans for outdoor courts to be built, but funds will have to be raised first.

“It’s very important to have that bigger space,” Wu says. “It’s nice to know if it rains or is cold that we have a place for us.”

What is in place now had an estimated price tag of between $2.2 million and $2.5 million, all of which was privately raised.

“Any people who come in and support any of our programming, or our membership, are helping pay the debt load down

“Part of the mission statement of ECTA is to grow tennis. It’s very hard to do that if we don’t have enough courts.”

— Evansville Tennis Center general manager, Anna Hazlett on this so we can continue to build more courts in Evansville,” Hazlett said.

As with the former Advantage tennis facility, it is expected that a good number of junior players will be developed at the new ETC. The latest among those, and part of the first group to use the new courts, were Elliott and Wu. Besides her state doubles championship title, Elliott also has won an IHSAA state singles title in 2011.

Elliott is playing tennis at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and Wu is playing for the University of Southern Indiana. Both women are freshmen.

Displayed in the ETC is a collection of photographs and biographical information on some of the top junior players who have gone through the ECTA program.

Chandler Marshall, who graduated from Henderson County, Ky., High School, was another prominent senior who signed with the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky. Stephanie Hazlett, Anna’s daughter, works with most of the higher-level junior players. She has traveled to Texas and Boca Raton, Fla., with Lukas Greif from Newburgh, who plays at ETC and is one of the top 50 ranked players nationally in the boys’ 14 division.

Wu will continue to practice and workout at ETC, which is a facility that USI uses.

She was overjoyed to be among the first group of juniors.

“They had a big opening, and ETC asked us to help with little kid lessons and things like that,” Wu said. “When I got in there the first time, I was literally jumping up and down, I was so excited. I kept thinking ‘Evansville has another place where tennis can thrive, and people are going to love it.”

he year was 1953. Dwight D. Eisenhower was inaugurated as president. Henry O. “Hank” Roberts was mayor of Evansville. Hardworking residents were making the millionth Plymouth automobile at Evansville’s Chrysler plant, dining at The Tennessean, and attending concerts at the new Mesker Amphitheatre.

If you lived in the Tri-State in the early 1950s, you knew something was up. Something big.

By the summer of 1953, more than 25 million television sets had been sold in the United States. “I Love Lucy” was beginning its third year on CBS. “The Guiding Light” soap opera had moved from radio to television. More than 70 U.S. cities operated TV stations.

In Evansville, there was just one problem.

The technology had not reached the river city.

Tri-Staters waited until the fall of 1953, when the Malco Theater Corp. of Memphis, Tenn., and local investors including the future mayor of Henderson, Ky., Hecht Lackey, finished building a TV station on top of a hill just east of Highway 41, two miles south of the Ohio River in Henderson. WEHT Channel 50 (the letters stood for Evansville Henderson Television) went on the air Sept. 27, 1953, partnering with the top national network at the time — CBS. Their timing was perfect, because just a few months later, WFIE Channel 14 came to Evansville and partnered with NBC. Channel 50 is now Channel 25, ABC has replaced CBS as the national affiliate, and the original 500-foot signal tower has grown to nearly 1,000 feet. Sixty years later, however, WEHT is still located on top of the same hill on Marywood Drive. And the staff is attempting to make the 60th anniversary of local television memorable by airing vignettes throughout September featuring people, events, and footage from the station’s past. The communitywide celebration will get viewers involved, and it culminates with a 60-minute special that will cover 60 years on the air.

U.S.News & World Report names St. Mary’s the

#4 Hospital in Indiana.

Victory is ours.

St. Mary’s Medical Center is proud to be the only hospital in the region to be recognized for our exceptional care — receiving the highest ranking of any hospital in Southern Indiana from U.S.News & World Report — earning us a spot as #4 in the entire state. And we’re also proud to be part of St. Vincent Hospital and Health Center, which ranked #2 among all Indiana hospitals. St. Mary’s was ranked as high performing in eight specialties — a big victory for us, sure. But an even bigger victory for our patients.

It, along with local television memories throughout the years, belongs to the entire Tri-State community. We look forward to involving as many neighbors, friends, and alumni as possible to be part of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of local television in the Tri-State. We hope all in the community will join us and share personal memories, favorites, ideas, and family special moments related to Tri-State local television past, present, and future.”

On Media news director. So I did news, Jerry Tolbert did sports, and the local manager of Eastern Air Lines came in every night to do the weather.

He’d wear a shirt and tie, and his official Eastern Air Lines blazer. He made us look professional. Jerry would work the camera while I did news, and during the commercial he’d get behind the desk for sports and I ran the camera. Three minutes of news, three minutes of weather, three minutes of sports, and commercials filled up the other six minutes. National commercials were on film, but we had to do the local commercials live. That was our 15-minute newscast every night at 6 and 10.

TV was brand new, and it was a lot of fun.”

Eighty-seven-year-old Elmer Chancellor will be there, too. He came to WEHT in 1956 as an engineer and for many years served as chief engineer for WEHT’s longtime parent company, Gilmore Broadcasting, until retiring for good in 1995.

“Just keeping a quality picture and sound were challenges,” Chancellor remembers about the early years. “The equipment was the best of its day, and it was expensive, but unreliable. The main tubes for the camera cost $1,300 each and only lasted about 1,000 hours.”

“The programming back then seems pretty mundane now, but we were the only station around here when we first came on. People were excited about it. I think all of us felt like we were providing a service to the community.

There were a lot of televisions being sold, and if you compare the price of a TV then to wages, people really had to scrape together money to buy one. They weren’t cheap.”

You can count on 81-year-old Hal Wolford to be part of the festivities, too. Watch out, though. He may prank someone. Wolford was there from 1966 to 1998 as a reporter, news director, and community affairs director, the final 11 years highlighted by his popular “Backroads” series.

“Our sports guy was Gary Montgomery.

Gary was taking banjo lessons on the side, and one day he was sitting in the lounge practicing,” Wolford says. “He was more funny than good with the banjo. I was producing the news back then, and sometimes at the end of a sportscast I’d sneak a little clip on the air of Gary doing something dumb. So I snuck in a camera behind him and got him playing his banjo. Everybody loved the banjo clip, except Gary. He was a little ticked off. One day, not long after that, I’m in the booth where we kept

On Media the teletypes that printed off the news. The door closes behind me, and Gary puts a shim in the door so I can’t get out. He’s outside with the news camera on me as I’m pounding on the door to get out. That ended up on the air, too. It was much looser back then. We’d get fired for doing that today.”

The list of on-air talent, management, and technicians that made an impact on WEHT programming since 1953 is a long one. Peggy Mitchell hosted one of the nation’s longest running children’s shows, from 1961 to 1986.

In the later years, kids would appear on Peggy’s show along with their parents, who had sat with Peggy and squinted into those bright studio lights two decades earlier. The Santa Clothes Club and Easter Seals Telethons have been fixtures at WEHT for decades. Bill Weber (NBC), Paul Emmick (The Weather Channel), Jacqui Jeras (CNN) and Nischelle Turner (Fox, CNN) were among those who took their TV talents to the national level after working at Channel 25. Lloyd Winnecke went from reporter and news director there to eventually become mayor of Evansville.

Probably best known from the station’s alumni was the late Chic Anderson. In the early days of Channel 50, Anderson worked

Hart won Emmy Awards for a special report on the devastating 1990 Petersburg, Ind., tornado and how the community was rebounding seven years later.

The report was part of a half-hour program about severe weather that aired on WEHT.

2013 Motorcoach Tours as a sportscaster and also worked in the mutuel department at Dade Park (now Ellis Park), the local Thoroughbred racing horse track. His voice and knowledge of the sport led him to become the track’s PA announcer in 1959, and one year later he took the same job at Churchill Downs in Louisville. That’s where CBS found Anderson and asked him to lead its TV team along with Jack Whitaker and Heywood Hale Broun in coverage of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes. Anderson is credited with what many consider TV’s most famous call in horse racing history — Secretariat’s 30-length win at Belmont in 1973 that produced the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years.

“One thing about the early days — you couldn’t let little problems bother you,” states Chancellor. “One night they had a sheep in the studio, something to do with a news story. That sheep got to baaing during Chic’s sportscast, so the fella handling the sheep grabbed its nose and shut its mouth to keep it quiet. The poor thing sounded even more pitiful, like someone was killing that sheep right in the middle of Chic’s sportscast. Chic started laughing on the air and couldn’t hardly get started again. Those things happened back then. It was live television. You just went on.”

Photo of ship by kim burnette

Storybook landscapes, cities, and villages are enjoyed from a river cruise By Kristen K. Tucker

Outside the window of my stateroom on the Amadeus Elegant, a 360-foot river cruiser with a pointed bow, the view mirrors my image of the Netherlands: resplendent with green pastures, swans and geese, sheep, cottages with steep-pitched roofs bursting with flowers, sturdy horses, bicycles, canals and dikes, windmills, and villages outlined by church steeples or even a fortress or a castle.

In April, I traveled with a group from Evansville on a nine-day Tulip River Cruise through the Netherlands and Belgium, offered by Lifestyle Tours and Collette Vacations. We flew to Amsterdam, where we boarded the ship, built in 2010. Collette Vacations contracted with Lüftner Cruises, an Austria-based operator of river cruises on European waterways.

River cruising, especially in Europe, has become the fastestgrowing segment of the cruise industry. Many storied civilizations 36 september | october 2013 Evansville Living

developed along the waterways of Europe, and cruise travelers now relish the opportunity to sail through the historical heart of these destinations on luxury riverboats.

Our ship, docked in a prominent position at Amsterdam’s port, was as impressive as any of the dozens of river cruisers there for the same reason: tulips. It makes April the most popular month to cruise the rivers of Holland and Belgium.

Tracy Wilson, director of group air tours for Lifestyle Tours, organized the cruise for the Evansville passengers. “The demand for the Springtime Tulip River Cruise is like nothing I’ve encountered before,” Wilson says. “It’s not like taking a tour to say, Italy or California, where anyone can, and does, go whenever they

LEADING IN LUXURY:

European river cruises are among the fastest growing segments of the travel industry. The Amadeus Elegant operated by Lüftner Cruises docks at Arnhem, Netherlands, capital of the Dutch province of Gelderland. To World War II veterans, Arnhem, now a modern, rebuilt city, is known as the city of “A Bridge Too Far,” the site of a serious British defeat. The photo was taken from the bridge.

GARDEN OF EUROPE:

Situated on 15th century hunting grounds, Keukenhof, meaning “kitchen garden,” provided herbs for a countess before it was established in 1949.

Today it is the world’s largest flower garden. Bruges, Belgium, middle left, welcomes visitors with a view of its Lake of Love (a canalized lake), swans, circa 1740 bridge, and view of the Church of Our Lady.

Edam, in North Holland, middle right, is largely untouched by tourism and recognized for cheese.

The Treaty of Ghent (Belgium) ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain.

Bottom, much of Ghent’s medieval architecture remains intact.

want. If you want to experience The Netherlands and Belgium in full bloom, it has to be the springtime. The only limitation to the Springtime Tulip River Cruise — it sells out fast.”

Our small group from Evansville was joined by larger groups from Dallas, Pennsylvania, and Georgia — about 135 passengers in all. Collette Vacations tour managers Jane and Kate were on board and were friendly and efficient. The Elegant was staffed by about 40 Lüftner crew members. Günter, our Austrian cruise director, was excellent.

River cruising is gentle and easy. At port, passengers step off the boat and into the heart of a city or village. The local tour guides and bus drivers were all very good. (Buses, for example, must be taken to Keukenhof, Bruges, and Brussels, in Belgium.) Quietvox receivers (worn around your neck with a small earphone) are issued to all passengers so tour guides can easily be heard. At most ports, we had plenty of time to explore on our own, as well as with the guide.

Food onboard was very good. Unlike the food frenzy atmosphere of cruise ships, meals onboard were appropriately sized and delicious, offering choices for each course at lunch and dinner; breakfast was an ample buffet. An impressive cheese tray was displayed each night as dinner’s final course. Regional wine, also good, was served with dinner. Bitberger beer was on tap.

Our itinerary (see sidebar page 38) carried us 500 miles over rivers, canals, and inland waterways. Every day was a treat. The weather was cool. The scenery was ever changing and nearly always idyllic. (I did awaken one morning to the view of the concrete wall of a lock.)

A cool spring in Europe threatened to delay the annual tulip show, causing a bit of initial concern. We soon realized there would be plenty of authentic culture and flowers on our itinerary, which began in Amsterdam. top and bottom photos by Kristen K. Tucker. middle two photos by kim burnette.

The Dutch have a saying: God created the earth, but the Dutch created Holland. This refers to the Dutch’s eight-century history of harnessing the water and taming the country’s below sea-level land. We cruised 500 miles on waterways and passed through 15 locks. The ship traveled through numerous canals and rivers, including the Lek, Waal, Hollands Diep, Volkerak, and Schelde.

Amsterdam is a seaport, capital, and the biggest city of the Netherlands. The 100 canals, Grachten, of Amsterdam — more than Venice — divide Amsterdam into approximately 90 islands that are connected through more than 1,000 bridges. This year marks the 400-year anniversary of Amsterdam’s famous canal district. The cultural organization Unesco added Amsterdam’s inner ring canals to its World Heritage List in 2010. A canal boat tour, a popular way to see the city, was included in our tour.

We had a sunny afternoon to explore Amsterdam. Crowds and available time precluded us from touring the Rijksmuseum, the Dutch national museum that had just reopened after a $500 million, 10-year renovation. I have visited Amsterdam before, in 2007 with my husband, and had a grand time. Perhaps because of that, I was not compelled to cram too much into our limited time there, which began and concluded the trip. Of course, we enjoyed the floating flower market, the Blumenmarkt, and strolled the Dam Square.

If there’s a cure for jet lag, or for your first night in Amsterdam, it is strolling the grounds of the world’s largest flower garden: Keukenhof, or Kitchen Garden.

I spent the first morning of the cruise walking about the impeccable Keukenhof, located about 45 minutes from Amsterdam in Lisse. More than 7 million bulbs are planted annually in the park, which also features the most current and creative garden and landscape designs.

In Keukenhof’s four pavilions, more than 30 flower shows are produced annually. In the Oranje Nassau Pavilion, the show changes weekly; I saw roses and a display featuring the flowers of Elton John.

The Willem Alexander Pavilion displayed more than 100,000 tulips in the most exotic varieties. The Beatrix Pavilion presented an astonishing orchid show.

At Kinderdijk, Netherlands, another UNESCO World Heritage site, we saw 19 working windmills dating to the mid-18th century — the largest collection of windmills in the country. They are occupied and cared for by individuals or families who apply to live in the windmills — there’s an 19-year wait. Applicants must be certified millers. Our guide, a pretty young woman with a degree in horticulture, shared the tale of Kinderdijk’s name. In the St. Elizabeth’s Flood of 1421, a baby was saved, found floating in the flood waters, in a wooden cradle that was balanced by a cat jumping back and forth to keep the water out. Kinderdijk means child’s dike.

CANAL CULTURE:

top photo by kim burnette. bottom two photos by Kristen K. Tucker

Amsterdam’s historic urban canal district was a project for a new “port city” built at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries. This view along a canal toward the Basilica of St. Nicholas is typical of Amsterdam.

Kinderdijk, Netherlands, is home to the largest concentration of working windmills in the Netherlands, lived in by individuals and families. The Grote Market in Antwerpen, Belgium, is lined with 16th century guildhouses.

I was very excited to visit Belgium. The ship docked in Ghent, Belgium’s second-largest city. Highlights included visiting the St. Bavo Cathedral with the Ghent Altarpiece, a very large, early 15th-century Flemish 12-panel painting.

At the market square, we tried Ghent’s best-known treat, “the nose of Ghent” — dark red triangle candies with a sugary outside and raspberry syrup inside.

With canals, pointy Gothic architecture, significant art, and a storybook town square lined with inviting cafes, Bruges is today a sightseeing destination. After a walking tour of the city, chartered in 1128, we explored the Grote Market with its impressive belfry tower, dating to 1240.

Throughout Belgium, at port and on board, we had the opportunity to enjoy Belgian beer, each brand served in its own glass. In Brussels, I left with a large quantity of Neuhaus chocolates.

At the conclusion of the cruise, upon disembarkation I carried my luggage to Amsterdam Centraal Station where I boarded a Thalys train to Paris. Realizing the ease of European travel, I’d made arrangements to meet a relative in Paris, expanding the trip to be more of a mini tour of Western Europe.

Five months after the Tulip River Cruise, I think of my experiences a lot. Besides recalling the sheer beauty I encountered, I found I really enjoyed the Western European history refresher course. I think I’m a better student now of daily world news.

Would I book this same trip again? I absolutely hope to. ✤

Paris in

By Kristen K. Tucker (and his tomb), wide avenues lined with stately Georges-Eugène Haussmann architecture, the astonishing scale of Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris, stylish cafes, elegant women, the Eiffel Tower, Ladurée macarons, and the constant lilt of “Bonjour! Bonjour!” What I love about Paris is all of this; especially the ubiquitous greeting that lightly chimes above the sounds of the city.

I arrived at Paris Gare du Nord train station on a Sunday afternoon.

I got on the right Metro line to the hotel, La Manufacture, I had secured in the 13th arrondissement. By 5 p.m., Deanna, my cousin-in-law, an international flight attendant, and I were ready to begin our tour of Paris.

We left the hotel light on our feet; our pockets stuffed with Metro tickets.

With a laminated map of Paris, we were ready to walk at least 15 miles each day and to keep straight which side of the River Seine we were on.

My first day in Paris was the prettiest day of the year, we heard locals say, so we walked up to Montmartre, a hill on the north side of Paris and home of the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur and the famous art district,

SPRING COMES TO PARIS:

Tourists, like Parisians, flock on warm days to the Place des Vosges, top, and The Basilica of Sacré Coeur at the summit of Montmartre, right. Place des Vosges, located in one of the city’s prettiest neighborhoods, was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612, making it Paris’ oldest public square. At the summit of Montmartre, the highest point in the city, is the Basilica of Sacré Coeur, a popular spot to relax and gaze out over the expanse of Paris. The Neo-Byzantine basilica was built between 1875 to 1914.

Paris — city of lights replete with the riches of Napoléon Bonaparte

Strolling Rue du Bac, we found Deyrolle, a most unusual shop.

Dating to 1831, the first floor of Deyrolle is a very nice garden shop. Upstairs, patrons find an astonishing mélange of curiosities: preserved insects, fossils, science books and posters, and a vast assortment of taxidermy animals, both large and small.

We visited grocery stories – the destination La Grand Epicerie at Le Bon Marché and the more common, Moniprix, where just 89 euro cents bought my favorite mustard, Amora. Dinner was near our hotel in the popular Latin Quarter on Rue Mouffetard at a brasserie called Mouff’tôt Mouff’tard.

ICONIC PARIS:

The Eiffel Tower, the most visited paid monument in the world, stands 1,063 feet tall in the Champs de Mars, a large public green space. The Eiffel Tower was built as the entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair. Below, sweet lovers say the irresistible Ladurée macaron is a Paris icon.

Place du Tertre. From this stunning view, all of Paris was laid out before us.

Next, we strolled the Avenue des Champs-Élysées to see the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde. We walked through the gardens of the Tuileries to the Louvre, where I stood in awe of its scale and beauty.

We finished our evening tour at Notre Dame, the French Gothic cathedral celebrating 850 years! Across the street, we dined at Brasserie de L’Isle Saint-Louis on buttery omelettes, pommes frites, and French red wine.

Out the door by 9:30 a.m., our first tour was to see the Eiffel Tower from the vantage point of the Trocadéro and the Palais de Chaillot, as well as to walk along the Champs de Mars.

In Les Invalides at the Musée de l’Armée (our Paris Museum Pass provided featured no-wait access), we saw Napoléon Bonaparte’s monumental tomb.

We approached the Louvre with ease — clearly we could not do it all. Standouts for me were: Mona Lisa, Winged Victory of Samothrace, and the Napoléon III Apartments.

After lunch of sandwiches in the Tuileries, we visited the Musée de l’Orangerie, home to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies and works by many of my favorite artists: Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso.

We were out the door by 9:30 a.m. Our first stop was the Musée D’Orsay, designed in an historic train station and displaying art from 1848 to 1914, including Claude Monet, Renoir, Édouard Manet, Georges Seurat, Vincent Van Gogh, and Edgar Degas.

We toured Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris (“Our Lady of Paris”), which today continues to serve as the cathedral for the Archdiocese of Paris. Under the flying buttresses of the ancient cathedral, we enjoyed sandwiches and free Wi-Fi in the adjacent park.

After lunch, we walked in Le Marais to Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in Paris, where locals took their lunch breaks in the sun.

Realizing the day was waning (“We need just one more day!”), we took the Metro to Père Lachaise Cemetery to see, specifically, where The Doors’ Jim Morrison was laid to rest. Before we could make our way to plot No. 30, stern-faced attendants shooed us from the cemetery — it was 5:45 p.m. and closing time was 6 p.m.

We would not be allowed to pay our respects to James Douglas “Jim” Morrison (Dec. 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971) — at least on this visit. (“If we only had one more day!”)

Deanna recalled a nice dinner she had enjoyed several years ago at Camille, a traditional French bistro, and we easily located it in Le Marais. We dined on the crowded sidewalk; on my right, patrons sampled escargot. To my left, a French family, with its dog under the table, dined on thick stalks of white asparagus.

The next morning we took a shuttle from our hotel to Charles de Gaulle airport. Though we had indulged the day before on Ladurée macarons (we stopped at the store on Rue Bonaparte), I was delighted to find Ladurée in the airport — and that was my last stop. ✤

For Pets’ Sake The Greatest: Dogs rank No. 1 in U.S. households, followed by cats, birds, fish, horses, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and turtles.

When it comes to finding lost pets, fliers are used less and less Social media, websites, and new technology have become the electronic lost-and-found for missing pets and those needing new homes.

“We rely almost entirely on our Facebook page,” says Susan Gainey Odoyo, board president of It Takes a Village, an Evansville foster-based dog rescue and no-kill shelter. “It increases the willingness of people to rescue a dog.”

ITV assists Evansville-Vanderburgh Animal Care & Control and three other area shelters in placing homeless dogs.

The group has 23 kennels at its 1417 N. Stockwell Road facility, but most animals are placed in 30 to 40 foster homes.

Odoyo estimates ITV had around 2,000 Facebook followers in the first six to eight months of 2010, when the organization was founded. That number has increased to nearly 7,000. In 2012, ITV helped 463 dogs find new homes and rescued more than 600 dogs.

“We’re on track to place almost 700 dogs this year,” says Odoyo. “Social media has allowed us to dramatically increase our ability to place dogs in forever homes.”

Jackie Rohner, president and founder of Another Chance for Animals, says social 42 september | october 2013 Evansville Living

media is a primary source of how her organization gets people to adopt its animals.

“Anymore, that’s how you communicate with the world,” says Rohner. “We had our Facebook page up and running before we had anything.”

Rohner says her organization places about 900 animals a year and is certain the uptick in its social media followers is related to its success.

“When we started, we had a few hundred followers,” says Rohner. “Now, we have almost 8,000.”

Facebook to the Rescue

Dog vs. cat. When it comes to the most popular household pet, canines knock felines out of the ring.

Yet as in every battle between the species, humans have to weigh in. In this issue of Evansville Living, plenty have. We explore how the Internet has impacted pet rescues, how animals help people, and why some people choose pets other than cats and dogs.

another chance for animals: Back row, left to right: Gwen Umphress, Vicky Smith, Jackie Rohner, Audrey Julian (holding Rufus, a domestic short hair cat), and Brenda Huffine.

Front row, left to right: Katie Wells, Tyler Wells, A.J. Rohner, Kenny Rohner, Katlyne Johnson, and Starla, a 1-year-old pit mix. Both animals were up for adoption at the time of publication.

Not the Dog Pound

ACA, which also began in 2010, is a network of more than 100 foster homes that works exclusively with EvansvilleVanderburgh Animal Care & Control in placing animals in order to help reduce the euthanasia rate at the local animal control. That euthanasia rate has been cut dramatically, Rohner says, partly as a result of ACA. “We had a 75 percent adoption rate last year,” Alisa Webster, the superintendent of animal control, agrees.

The Humane Society of the United States estimates that roughly 3,500 animal shelters in the country take in 6-8 million cats and dogs each year. Of those numbers, between 3-4 million are adopted from shelters each year.

“They’re awesome; they work miracles,” Webster says of ACA “They don’t just take the pretty ones. They take the elderly ones, the ones with heartworm.

They take everything. Animal control would be a very difficult place to work at if not for them.”

Social media is also helping find the way back home for missing animals.

Evansville Lost Pets is a Facebook page started in December 2010 by Jenny Nunning and Colette Purcell that posts information and pictures about wandering cats, dogs, and other animals online.

Purcell says almost 2,400 pets have been re-united with their owners as a result of posting on the page.

“We are kind of the middle man,” says Purcell. “We help people get their animals back.”

Purcell knows first-hand the trauma of a missing pet and trying to re-locate it using the low-tech methods of flyers and word-of-mouth. Nearly three years ago, Purcell’s then 12-yearold cat, Elizabeth, wandered away with Purcell nearby.

“I went in to refill my coffee and I didn’t see her for 12 days,” says Purcell, adding the cat needed a twice-daily dose of medicine.

After putting up dozens of fliers and calling numerous veterinary offices, Purcell got a call from a 12-year-old girl who lived near North High School who recognized the cat as one that had showed up near her home.

Purcell, who lives near Bosse High School, says it is a mystery how the cat traveled about 10 miles from school to school. She now keeps Elizabeth on a small tie-out when outside.

In addition to social media, there are websites dedicated to finding homes for pets in need.

Brenda Vanderver, president of the Posey County-based PC Pound Puppies, says in addition to Facebook, her organization, and many others, use Petfinder.com, an online database of animals in need of homes. Petfinder. com works with nearly 14,000 adoption groups and animal shelters around the country, in Canada, and in Mexico.

“It’s made a huge difference,” says Vanderver. “You just have so many more people looking at your dogs. It used to be all you could count on was people who came to your adoption event.”

Dog tags, too, are now high-tech.

Evansville-Vanderburgh Animal Care & Control, and many rescue organizations, require adopted pets to have a small microchip inserted under their skin that can identify them if they are lost or missing. The device carries a number that is plugged into a database that is linked to the name and contact information of the owner. A handheld scanner reads the radio frequency of the chip and displays the information. The pet owner must register the dog and keep the animal’s information current.

“It’s pretty much a fool-proof way to prove the dog is yours, to keep track of the dog,” says Vanderver.

— Jane McManus Evansville-Vanderburgh Animal Care & Control, 815 Uhlhorn St., may be reached at 812-435-6015.

Animal Control is seeking to change its image Alisa Webster has been the Superintendent of Evansville Animal Control since July 2012 and has been employed by the agency since 2009.

Webster owns two dogs and three cats; one dog and one cat were rescues, and another cat “adopted me,” she says.

What is the mission of Animal Control?

“Doing what we can to promote responsible pet ownership by educating the public and providing safety for animals. This is the place for them to be safe while we’re trying to find the owner. Everything we do is to protect animals and people.

“We are not the dog pound anymore. We are working really hard to change the perception that people have of the animal control facility.”

How do pets end up in your facility?

“They end up here in a variety of ways. Many are strays that animal control officers pick up or someone finds. We have animals that are brought in by their owners. We also have pets here that we have to take from their homes for their own welfare.

We’re taking in right about 4,500 animals a year.

And that does not include wild animals; animals that people trap in live traps and are re-located.”

What is the most common breed of dog that you see in Animal Control?

“We see more pit bulls than we do any other breed. And it’s just because it’s the breed of choice right now. Most of them are great dogs. It doesn’t mean they’re a bad dog just because they’re a pit bull. We get in more Chihuahua dogs that are problem dogs than we get pit bulls that are a problem.”

What percentage of animals are reclaimed by their owners?

“I would say about 50 percent are claimed by their owners if I had to guess. And that’s dogs. Cats, even less. Last year, we had about a 75-percent live release rate, which means that 75 percent of dogs or puppies were reclaimed, adopted, or went to rescue. We work closely with rescue groups.”

Both this job and your job with VHS seem difficult. Why do this kind of work?

“I still think we can make a difference and change things. I think the people that do well in this type of work see it more as a calling than a job.”

Dog Dos and Don’ts Bobbi Jo Bottomley teaches people how to think like a canine New Harmony, Ind., resident Bobbi Jo Bottomley founded Tri-State K9 University in 2005. The company provides in-home instruction, private lessons, and group classes for dog training. It also offers rehabilitation training and training for service dogs. Tri-State K9 University also boards canines. She has six dogs, a snake, a fish, chickens, and two ponies.

What are some of the biggest reasons people bring their dogs to Tri-State K9 University?

“Some of the most common phone calls stem from dogs pulling on leashes, not coming when called, jumping on people, and potty training.”

How do you get a dog to listen to you?

We have a dog that always jumps on visitors to our home. How can we get her to stop jumping on them?

“You need to establish the boundaries for your company. Shake the visitor’s hand first when they arrive. Welcome them in by a touch. Let the dog know that you have invited them in as pack leader.

Also, put the dog on a leash and give a firm correction with the leash, or speak a firm ‘No.’ If you are pulling back on the leash, it’s a game. They will pull harder. If it’s not working, then we will have to use a training tool like treats, a harness, an electronic collar, or a head halter.”

What advice do you have for humans who have adopted abused dogs?

“The biggest misconception by humans is that because a dog has been abused, we should give it more affection. You need to establish the boundaries, entrances, migration, and feeding rules first.

They need to see the affection as an award for good behavior, not just because we feel sorry for them. For fear-based dogs, it could take a week to two years to make them less afraid. It depends on what damage has been done.”

“Packs of dogs respond to four things: Boundaries, entrances, migration, and feeding. We don’t let the dog make choices. It’s whatever the pack leader wants. It should listen to you when you tell it to ‘come here.’ For entrances, the pack leader needs to be the first one to enter any new environment. If I’m walking and change direction, the dog should naturally follow. For feeding, you want to make sure that you tell the dog to wait before they are able to eat.”

At Their Service Amazing animals help people live better lives The partnership between humans and animals dates back to the Stone

Age, about 9,000 years ago, when animals first were domesticated. But never have animals provided such dedicated help to humans as they do today in the form of trained service. Throughout the Tri-State, animals are helping people improve their quality of life through programs, services, and activities that promote human and animal interaction.

St. Mary’s Medical Center in Evansville offers a pet therapy program that allows dogs to visit patients, providing a comforting presence or simply breaking up the long hours of the day. Dressed up with a scarf and a name badge, the therapy dogs generally visit private rooms in the rehabilitation unit, though they will often take special requests in other areas of the hospital as long as they are in private rooms.

“They offer unconditional love to most anyone,” says St. Mary’s Manager of Volunteer and Planetree Services, Kalah Georgette-Vowels. “I’ve seen firsthand how they affect patients in the room.”

St. Mary’s pet therapy program began in 2007 through Planetree, a nonprofit membership organization that works with hospitals and healthcare

institutes for patient-centered care in healing environments. Initially, the pet therapy program utilized only one dog, but today the number has grown to 16 teams. These teams consist of a dog, its owner, and an escort who assists in engaging the patients with the team, offers up hand sanitizer at the end of the visit, and keeps track of where the dogs have visited.

Kelly Lanham, a four-year veteran of and volunteer with the pet therapy program, is thrilled at the opportunity to share her three dogs with patients.

“I want to bring smiles to their faces,” she says.

Chester, a whippet and the most experienced of Lanham’s therapy dogs, once visited a patient who had been unresponsive for six weeks. The whippet was one of many different methods of therapy after the patient’s surgery, and the patient responded to the dog and repeated its name.

Being a therapy dog involves some work. St. Mary’s requires potential pooches to have completed the Canine Good Citizen test — a series of behavioral and obedience tests proving they are well mannered. Dogs must know basic commands (sit, stay, and lay down), be able to ignore general distractions, and be comfortable around strangers. In the hospital environment, they also must be comfortable around wheelchairs, and they have to resist the temptation to chew the tennis balls on the legs of walkers.

Some of the most well known canines helping humans are those serving in law enforcement. The Evansville Police Department and the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office both have K-9 units. The Evansville Police Department’s K-9 Unit began in 1981 with four single purpose German Shepherds. Currently, the police department has nine K-9 teams. Six teams use German Shepherds for patrol and nar-

cotics detection. The explosion detection team and two narcotics detection teams use Labrador Retrievers.

The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has four dogs. Three are cross-trained, or dual-purpose, German Shepherds trained in criminal apprehension as well as narcotics detection. The fourth is a yellow Labrador that, according to Sgt. Rob Clark, the canine supervisor, is assigned to the Joint Narcotics Task Force and is strictly a narcotics detector. All the dogs are trained

handler, who is responsible for maintaining the dog. This includes feeding the dog, grooming it, and taking it to the veterinarian. When a dog retires, the department gives the officer the option of keeping the dog, a choice most canine handlers make.

The Evansville Association for the Blind also is involved with trained service dogs. The EAB fully supports blind persons getting guide dogs after they have received training on how to properly use a white cane.

According to EAB mobility specialist Krysti Hughes, only about 7 to 10 people in the Tri-State use — St. Mary’s Manager of Volunteer and guide dogs that must be Planetree Services, Kalah Georgette-Vowels matched to their owners’ personalities, heights, and to understand German commands.

Exotic Fascination Spiders, kangaroos, and tortoises can be pets Do a favor for John Scott Foster Ph.D.,

and he might just name an animal after you.

That’s what he did for Lisa Rhyand (before she became Lisa Vaughan), a member of the Evansville Junior League who now shares a name with a poisonous black widow spider.

Foster, the executive director of the Wesselman Nature Society, says people often think it’s an insult to the human Lisa Rhyand that she now has a namesake with a shiny black body and a red hourglass marking on its belly. But, “she’s the one who picked the spider to be her namesake,” he chuckles. And the truth is, Lisa Rhyand the black widow is in good hands. Foster has degrees in zoology and science education and museum studies, and he is fully dedicated to connecting people with nature.

“These potentially scary, creepy, little animals can help people,” he says. As an example, scientists, he points out, are hoping a building block of proteins found in black widow venom could help treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Foster has a variety of exotic pets, including a Chilean rose-haired tarantula, another black widow spider, about five millipedes, about four Madagascar hissing cockroaches, as well as 90,000 honey bees.

Of that list, only the spiders have names.

people groove on it. They’ve probably not had that opportunity before.”

Then there are the animals that aren’t so tiny. Evansville residents Misty and Larry Minar have two leopard tortoises, Cleopatra (nicknamed Cleo) and Herbie (as in the movie “Herbie the Love Bug”).

“We have had them over 12 years now, and they would fit in the palm of my hand when we got them,” Misty Minar says, adding that Cleo now weighs more than 35 pounds and Herbie is roughly 25 pounds. “They still have a lot of growing to do being that these tortoises can reach up to two feet in diameter and weigh up to 70 pounds or more.”

Minar is the horticulturist at Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden. She says leopard tortoises are the fourth largest tortoises in the world and are from the grasslands and scrub areas of Africa. They can live 75 years or more in captivity.

“At this rate, it looks like they will be passed down to our sons, who adore them and help care for them,” she says.

“All spiders are named Matilda because it’s a name that I can remember,” he says, being careful to point out that Lisa Rhyand the black widow is the exception to the rule. He adds that when talking about his spiders, he must distinguish between Matilda the tarantula and another black widow that he also has named Matilda.

He has to keep Matilda the black widow and Lisa Rhyand the black widow separate from each other; otherwise, “one would eat the other.”

All the animals, except for the bees, are kept at Wesselman Nature Society, but they are essentially Foster’s pets “as much as you can consider them a pet. They are more living creatures that I take care of. They are never happy to see you come home.

They aren’t going to cuddle up with you and watch TV.” Yet it’s more than that. “I like to have these animals and to show them for people to discover how the little things are cool,” he says. Often, people like seeing the spiders, cockroaches, and millipedes because the animals are in a controlled setting.

“Tarantulas, black widows, big black honking cockroaches — there is the perceived danger, there is some fear,” Foster says. “So to have the opportunity Slowly But Surely: Eli Minar, Misty Minar, to interact and be literally and Wil Minar have made leopard tortoises inches from this animal, Herbie and Cleo part of their family. but in a controlled setting,

Doctor Do A Lot: John Scott Foster considers his four Madagascar hissing cockroaches to be his pets, but they also serve to educate Wesselman Nature Society visitors like Hannah Theiring of Evansville.

The tortoises also eat a commercial tortoise pellet and occasional treats like blackberries and strawberries.

“They aren’t the kind of pet that you can snuggle with and love on like a dog or cat, but they have become an important part of our family,” she says.

Ron Young, the former director of Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden who now runs AtoZ Animal Care Specialists, has spent 50 years taking care of exotic animals. He has eight kangaroos on his Evansville property, as well as 100 turtles, 10 African Spurred Tortoises, six cockatoos, various cane toads, and lizards.

“Kangaroos are very sweet animals when they are hand raised,” Young says, adding that they can live as long as 15 to 20 years. “If they are wild raised, they are like a rabbit, and when they see you, they run.”

The kangaroos’ natural predator is the dingo dog, yet the tame kangaroos on Young’s property have become accustomed to the dogs he boards there at his kennel. They’ve also become trained to know when Young has gone to Bunny Bread on Fulton and Virginia streets.

“They run to the gate with their hands out, just like children,” waiting for a slice of wheat bread, he says.

When Dogs and Cats Won’t Do Cats and dogs are only two of the creatures people keep as pets.

“We see quite a few rats,” says Dr. Laura Bakowski, one of four practicing veterinarians at Village East Animal Hospital, 1305 S. Green River Road. She graduated from Purdue University in 1997 with a doctorate in veterinary medicine and has worked at Village East for 15 years. “They’re very friendly, they rarely bite. They’re very clean so they are easy to take care of.”

Rats fall into the category of “exotic” pets, which Bakowski considers to be any pet that is not a cat or a dog.

“It could be a ferret, snake, turtle, guinea pig, or birds,” she adds. “Rabbits are what we see the most of.”

Why would anyone want a pet that creeps, crawls, or slithers?

“With regard to snakes, turtles, and lizards, I think people just find them very interesting,” says Bakowski.

“They’re not cuddly like cats or dogs, and I think people are drawn to the fact they’re unusual.”

But being unusual also means exotic animals are harder to treat.

“Exams can be difficult,” she says, adding their smaller size creates challenges for veterinarians.

And it takes a veterinarian with special training to treat exotics. Bakowski did her training for exotics with a veterinarian in Indianapolis and is one of a number of veterinarians in Evansville who treat exotics. She also attends continuing education conferences.

Cleo and Herbie spend their summers in an enclosure in the Minars’ backyard that the family can move around the property’s five acres.

Moving the enclosure gives the tortoises access to fresh grass and weeds including clover, dandelions, and plantains. In the winters, the tortoises live in a heated room in the garage.

“Feeding the tortoises in the winter is more challenging,” Minar says. “This can be quite expensive. This usually involves wiping out the greens section of the grocery store. Endive is their favorite winter greens along with other greens that are appropriate.”

Animal Enthusiast: Ron Young, the former director of Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden, has spent 50 years taking care of exotic animals.

Here he holds Maggie, a 4-month-old baby Wallaroo, on his Evansville property. Young has six Moluccan cockatoos. Lollipop is one of them.

Research is key in caring for an exotic pet

Not all exotics make good pets, according to Bakowski. Poisonous snakes, for example, are not a good choice for the average pet owner, and Bakowski will not treat them.

“I think the big cats are also not a good choice,” she says.

Bakowski adds people cannot keep wild animals, such as injured birds or rabbits, as pets. Those animals must go to a wildlife rehabilitator.

Another downside of owning an exotic animal, according to the website livescience.com, is many (like monkeys) can transmit Herpes B and monkey pox to humans. The website states 90 percent of all reptiles carry and shed salmonella in their feces. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 93,000 salmonella cases a year in the U.S. are caused by exposure to reptiles. However, a plus for having an exotic animal is they can be easier to care for.

“The overall day-to-day care for the pet might be less than a dog might be,” says Bakowski.

She adds that it’s important to research the proper care of an exotic animal, such as the types of food they should eat and the proper temperature of their environment.

“Talk to a veterinarian, or go to the library,” Bakowski says. “They live a long time.”

Dogged Responsibility

Animal bites that break the skin must be reported

Lasting Impact Vanderburgh Humane Society keeps working to save animals A sloppy kiss from a puppy. A sweet nudge from a cat. These are the things that keep the staff and volunteers of the Vanderburgh Humane Society smiling each day. But it’s our vision of a future where no animal is euthanized for space that keeps us moving forward.

We aren’t there yet — not with the thousands of homeless animals in this community, including the nearly 3,000 animals being turned into our open admission shelter every year. Key programs in place at the VHS are finding solutions that go beyond adoption alone.

Since 1957, the VHS has been serving unwanted animals by providing quality care and finding them loving homes. In 2007, VHS launched an ambitious program geared toward reducing the number of animals in our community. The Davidson Rausch Low Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic opened in August 2007. So far, more than 34,000 animals have been fixed. Not only do all VHS dogs and cats get fixed before they go home with their new families, the VHS also collaborates with other animal welfare organizations within a 90-mile radius by fixing their agency’s animals as well. One of the best components of our clinic is that we are open to the public. Anyone, regardless of income, can use our services to get their animals fixed. Tens of thousands of unwanted litters have been prevented so far.

Sometimes as many as 50 percent of the dogs in our kennels are pit bulls — American Staffordshire Terriers. These wonderfully sweet dogs are euthanized at a higher 48 september | october 2013 Evansville Living

rate in shelters based on their sheer numbers.

That is where our Pit Stop program comes in. Pit Stop, a program available to residents of Vanderburgh County, offers a free spay or neuter to any pit bull in our community. Private funding is raised to cover the expenses for the families. So far, 481 pit bulls have already been fixed.

Our newest targeted spay & neuter program focuses on the staggering cat overpopulation in the area. CatSnip in your ZIP offers residents in specific ZIP codes free spay or neuter for their felines. A generous grant from PetSmart Charities is funding the pilot program to alter 1,200 cats within the 47710 ZIP code. By concentrating the effort on one area, we can make a lasting impact, ZIP code by ZIP code.

Programs like these, combined with our adoption and humane education efforts, are making a difference for these animals.

But as a non-profit organization, we need the community to get involved. Volunteering or making a donation to the VHS is a great way to help us reach our vision for the animals in the Tri-State. We guarantee that supporting these programs will make you smile, just like a sloppy kiss from a puppy.

Kendall Paul is the executive director of the Vanderburgh Humane Society.

Certain laws govern local pet ownership. The Evansville-Vanderburgh Animal Care & Control Shelter helps with many of these laws and ordinances and acts as a general resource. This organization responds to roughly 600 to 1,000 phone calls in a given month concerning issues such as animal bites, loose pets, and issues between neighbors about pets.

Pet bites are a major concern.

“All animal bites and scratches that break the skin must be reported, and a bite report must be done,” says Alisa Webster, the superintendent of Evansville Animal Control. “Animals that have bitten or scratched must be quarantined for 10 days. This is done to control rabies and is Indiana state law.” Individuals are also able to access an online form to submit a bite report from the city’s web page.

Though many families have a pet and are aware there are laws concerning the pets, they may not know many of the local pet ordinances that can be found on the city’s website.

“Many people don’t know that they must have a license for their dog or cat in the city,” Webster says.

Rather than going through the process of obtaining a new or renewed license regularly, owners may choose to obtain a lifetime license if the pet is spayed or neutered, has a microchip, and is current on its rabies vaccine.

These licenses may be purchased at Evansville Animal Control, 815 Uhlhorn St. Another lesserknown law for those avid dog and/or cat lovers is that a resident who has more than seven dogs or cats must have an assemblage permit, which is approved by the Animal Control Commission.

According to the shelter’s mission statement, the enforcement of the pet ordinances along with proper investigation, intervention, and education work to promote citizen and pet safety, responsible pet ownership, and the reduction of animal overpopulation.

Caring for Your Pets Local veterinarian says dental care, obesity are major concerns

What should people be most concerned with in caring for their pets?

“I think that right now we focus a lot on preventive care. Trying to keep pets healthy and avoid illnesses. That includes proper vaccinations, parasite medications, proper diet, exercise, and it does also include dentistry.”

Why is dentistry important?

“If we can prevent chronic periodontal disease in the mouth, we can prevent some heart issues and some liver issues as pets age. Dental disease can be a source of chronic pain and infection that can go on for many years. If you fix all that, they can feel much better. People can have a better bond with their pet. You can see a dramatic improvement in pets who have been suffering with dental disease.

Cleaning the teeth is more than just preventive. As pets develop disease in their mouth, they learn to tolerate the pain.

When you fix that, it’s like a whole new animal. A lot of people say, ‘Gosh, they’re acting like a puppy again!’ It’s an area we can really truly make a big difference in.”

What are the latest developments in pet care? Where is the emphasis?

“There are two things we are focusing on here; one is dentistry. We are seeing dental disease as early as two years.

Eighty percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some sort of dental disease by the age of 2. Also, I think we are doing a better job than we ever have in pain control. For pets that have arthritis, we have different types of things we can use to control their long-term pain.”

Dr. Laura Bakowski, one of four practicing veterinarians at Village East Animal Hospital, 1305 S. Green River Road, is currently working toward another degree in veterinary dentistry. Bakowski lives in Newburgh, Ind. Her household includes a dog, two cats, a guinea pig, a hamster, and “we have fish.”

Obesity is a problem in people, but now we are seeing it in pets.

What does too much weight do to animals?

“Excess weight can lead to problems with the joints. In severe cases, it can lead to problems in the heart and chest. It ages them; can shorten their life span. Overweight cats are more prone to developing diabetes.

As pets age, they tend not to exercise as much as they did when they were puppies but continue to eat the same amount.

I think sometimes people overfeed them accidentally or give them treats that aren’t good for them.”

The Evansville area has an abundance of mosquitoes that can carry the parasite that causes heartworm. Do you see a lot of heartworm cases in your practice?

“We do see a fair number of positive heartworm dogs every month. I think we see less now than we used to. People are doing more preventive care. Cats are also susceptible to heartworm, and we recommend a monthly preventive for them also.”

How often are you bitten by one of your furry clients?

“Minor things that don’t require treatment — probably on a weekly basis. I think every vet in their career has had a major bite that require stitches or left a scar.”

— Jane McManus

Growling For Love Wilbur is a wily Chihuahua The Internet can be a dangerous place.

A few simple clicks, and a new creature can arrive on your doorstep within 24 hours. With rescues and breeders of all types online, it’s easier than ever to realize your dreams of that “perfect and unique” pet. While I’ve had more than my share of exotic pets (tortoises, peacocks, birds, geckos, sugar gliders, and a hedgehog) the most fabulous addition to our family has been our three-pound, three-legged beast of a Chihuahua from a rescue in Chicago.

It was a cold January night and I was up late. Finished with work, and perusing the Web, I came across a story about the “world’s smallest dog.” One click led to another, and I landed on a rescue featuring a crippled little dog with a red bandanna.

His ears had been frozen and damaged, his white eyes had cataracts, he had only four teeth, three legs, and a bald tail. The rescue lady didn’t know his story (dogs don’t speak English), but I knew he needed help.

The closer? This dog shared the same rare name as my husband — Wilbur. It was pure chance that rescue “assigned” him this name. The last thing we needed was another dog, but how much trouble could this tiny guy be?

Armed with the adoption fee and a soft blanket, my daughter and I headed north. We were not prepared for the emotional journey ahead of us. The transaction with rescue took about five minutes; she obviously wanted this dog out of her kennel. Expecting this fragile creature to be appreciative, I was sadly mistaken. He growled and bit us all the way home — a huge display of attitude from such a miniscule animal.

Making up for years of neglect, we have showered Wilbur with love, attention, stylish doggie outfits, and treats. He still bites — especially at night. But occasionally, he flips upside down for belly rubs. No doubt this dog is lucky, but so are the humans that are allowed to serve him. c — Janet McCormick

Excellent Fabrication Two local artists create a fusion of abstract art styles “The first rule is, it’s got to be fun.”

When artists and friends Keith Boyd and Emily Gartner decided to team up in July, Boyd’s statement was the foundation of their partnership.

Boyd paints abstract art on canvases, some of which can be found at the Fresh Harvest Deli in the Old National Building at One Main Street. Gartner takes digital images of these canvas paintings and manipulates the images to create new abstract pieces. And they’ve already won an award: Boyd and Gartner placed second in the Art in the City show on Aug. 2 for their Tiffany blue and orange chair.

The cushions are a blend of a solid color of mandarin orange and Boyd’s inspired fabric.

The Curated Loom, Boyd’s and Gartner’s new business, is all about “getting the art out there and in a different format,”

Boyd says. Because no two manipulated images are made to be exactly the same, he says there is “something for everybody,” and that their process is incredibly unique. “We’ve done Google search after Google search, and we can’t find anyone who’s doing what we are,” Boyd says. Gartner added that the work is more functional, with practical applications.

The inspiration for this partnership came from the title of the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science annual juried show “Working Together.” It was Gartner’s idea to take photographs of Boyd’s paintings and then toy with them on the computer. Gartner posted the images to Houzz. com, where she has placed a number of her previous digital recreations, and the feedback was incredible, Gartner says.

Within roughly 24 hours, a North Carolina art gallery, a retired married couple from Florida, and an interior designer from Sydney, Australia, were all trying to find out more about the images. “Keith’s work is great because it is a non-directional print,” Gartner says, meaning that the fabric can be turned in a variety of ways and still be pleasing to

the eye. “Both females and males can relate to it. It can even go in children’s rooms.”

Boyd and Gartner’s business is Internet-based, however the two have plans to exhibit in a number of shows locally and out of town. Shows are planned at the St. James Court Art Show, a juried, fine arts and fine crafts show held in the heart of historic Old Louisville, from Oct. 4-6. Other single art shows are scheduled at the HOOPLA event in the Palette and Pen Studio as a guest artist in Allentown, Pa., Sept. 27-29, and at the Grand Eastonian Hotel in Easton, Pa., over Thanksgiving weekend.

Gartner explains the primary business focus will be on residential and commercial interiors as well as art gallery sales. Boyd and Gartner will host the official launch party for the new business on Sept. 21 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the ArtsBeatsEats Studio, 611 Washington Ave. — Nick Hebebrand

He could have been only a war hero. He could have been only a big game hunter.

He could have been only a pilot. He could have been only a married father of four.

But that wasn’t George P. Whittington Jr.’s style. No. George — farmer, Henderson, Ky., resident, husband to Agnes, father to Charles, Richard, Janet, and Elizabeth — never stopped trying to learn new things.

Neither did Agnes. Word has it that the young lady George met at the University of Missouri, Columbia, was studying art when she answered a knock at the door. George was there to take her roommate out on a date. “And that was it,” their daughter, Janet Whittington of Nashville, Tenn., laughs. “He never took the roommate out again.”

They married while they were in college and took a three-month honeymoon in Mexico. For 49 years, until George’s death in 1996, they traveled the world from their home base at 502 Chestnut St. in Henderson. They studied French, Spanish, Italian, and Russian. Agnes, an award-winning water colorist, was an early practitioner of yoga who founded the Henderson chapter of the National Organization for Women. She also earned a commercial pilot rating. “She used to love to practice her aerobatics in a single plane over the Ohio River,” Janet says. And George? He never talked about the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, in Normandy, France, but his extraordinary heroism in that battle is the reason his family still has his Distinguished Service Cross.

Agnes died in 2011, and Janet lived at the home just off of Green Street from 2002 until this past June. Now, the house sits empty — but only of its longtime residents.

Left on the walls and up for an online auction planned for late September are the stuffed heads of a Cape buffalo and antelope. Throughout the rest of the house, there also are elephant footstools, Japanese armor from the Edo Period, a Samurai sword, an original 1950s Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Barcelona ottoman and bench, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (copyright 1906), and vintage dresses. Andrew Mancabelli, the guest curator for the Louisville, Ky., Frazier History Museum’s Samurai exhibit, will clean and assemble the Samurai armor.

Then there is the house itself. Completed in 1959, this 6,400-square-foot home with a full basement has wide, long, spacious hallways and rooms and is large enough to hold everything that Wendy Miller and her team at Curran Miller Auction/ Realty have worked to catalogue since May. 52 september | october 2013 Evansville Living

Hunters and Gatherers // Antelopes

are just some of the big game taxidermy up for auction later this month. This Japanese armor from the late 18th or first half of the 19th century would have belonged to a very high-ranking Samurai. Among his numerous military awards, George Whittington earned the Distinguished Service Cross during World War II. The George and Agnes Whittington home was designed by architect John Hironimus. Aside from the Whittingtons’ varied individual auction items, the home is a mid-century modern architectural gem.

The house will be auctioned off first on Sept. 24 at 6 p.m. The two personal property auctions will close on Sept. 25 and Sept. 26. A public open house is scheduled for Sept. 18 and Sept. 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. “It’s taken a village to put this thing together, and it’s been a truly amazing adventure,” Miller says.

Sprout Some Ideas Inspiration can come from anywhere

Recently, one of my employees asked me the best resources for learning about landscaping. He wanted to know where I had learned everything that I knew to get to the position I am in today. The easy answer is that I went to Purdue University and earned a degree in landscape horticulture with design. I know that my education plays a large role in my success, but my experiences and the resources I have found over the years are really what have helped to inspire and guide me since college.

Books and Magazines There are many great books and magazines that offer information on virtually any topic you want to learn about. I handed my employee a stack of gardening or landscape magazines and told him to start by looking at them. They cover a wide range of topics and profile many great projects from around the world that can spark a small idea or inspire an entire project.

Catalogs I love getting catalogs from various plant and seed companies each year that profile some of the newest and most poplar plants with pictures and information.

Houzz and Pinterest The websites Houzz and Pinterest have become a great resource when quickly researching ideas for a client. Simply search by keyword to bring up thousands of pictures and ideas.

Travel

I always take pictures of what inspires me on my travels, and I try to work these new ideas into projects.

Strung out These retro art designs are limitless String art is a great way to add some dimension and a bit of retro style to a wall in your home. This craft was a hit in the 1960s due to the popularity of string art kits.

The kits allowed crafters to create designs ranging from geometric shapes to intricate depictions of peacocks, locomotives, and sail boats.

Today, crafters are coming up with their own unique ideas for string art without the aid of kits. It’s a relatively simple craft, and you can completely customize the colors and design to suit your tastes.

To start, you’ll need to create a design that you can draw on paper or cut out from a magazine that you will then tape to a slice of wood. Letters, silhouettes of animals or objects, and geometric shapes work best. Next, you’ll need some items from your local craft store. The following is a full list of supplies you’ll need to start the craft:

• Unfinished wood slice (or other backboard) • Acrylic paint (optional) • Paint brush (optional) • Nails • Hammer • Embroidery floss • Image inspiration printout In the example shown, the raw wood slice has been painted with blue acrylic paint, but this step is optional. Once the paint is dry, lay your image on top of the wood as your guide. Tape your printed image to the wood slice. Next, hammer the nails directly into the image and the wood at a uniform height, spacing them as evenly as possible. Once all of the nails are in place, tear out the

design. Then, apply the string by wrapping it around the nails in the pattern of your choosing. Tie the string to any nail to start, and then tie it off when you’re done. With enough tension, the strings stay relatively in place. Affix a hanger onto the back, and your creation is ready for display.

Ninety Days to Sell

Good-quality home decor at reduced prices filled, silk-covered, Art Deco Tuxedo chairs, until you walked into Kim’s Consigned Designs in the Apple Center in Newburgh, Ind. Yet, there you are — face to face with the comfortable, well-kept chairs you end up taking home at a reasonable cost, in a large store, with a variety of other selections to choose from.

Kim Ross, who has a background in design and sales, opened her family owned business with her husband, Jacob, in December 2008. Patterned on other successful local consignment businesses and retail furniture stores, Kim’s Consigned Designs seeks to promote high-quality furniture and accessories priced to sell from the outset.

“I want it to feel like a furniture store,” Ross says of her 13,000-square-foot business, which is set up in small vignettes, allowing customers to get a sense of how the furnishings and accessories will look in their own homes. There are couches, 54 september | october 2013 Evansville Living

lamps, pillows, mirrors, dressers, benches, coffee tables, and paintings, too, for the customer who is looking for one particular object — or maybe no one thing in particular.

Ross knows when furniture is more likely to move, like desks in August, or patio furniture in the spring. She also doesn’t accept every piece of furniture that comes her way. Ross requires consigners to e-mail photographs of items they wish to sell to get the process started. She sets all prices and takes a 50 percent commission. She may reduce the price of an item up to 30 percent from the original price in order to sell the item within 90 days.

Tom and Alex O’Niones have considered every detail in the renovation of their Fort Branch home Eight years ago, Tom and Alexandra (Alex) O’Niones returned closer to their roots and made the move from Fishers, Ind., to Fort Branch. Tom, who grew up as a Southern Indiana native in Freelandville, just north of Vincennes, and Alex, a native of Princeton, each wanted to be closer to their families. Fort Branch seemed like a natural fit.

Having already lived in Fort Branch once, Alex says,

“ We like it here, it feels like home.”

Natural Style // The spacious living room, top of opposite page, is a rich blend of cream and gold with a variety of layered textures in the rug and accessories. The entertainment center was original to the house, but Alex had it refinished from dark wood to a faux finish with crackled accents to compliment the color scheme. The iron orb-encased crystal chandelier usually garners plenty of attention.

Alex O’Niones and her interior designer sister, Melissa Lankford, top right, pose together in the sunroom. Although they have different styles, their work together resulted in a casually elegant home that is a reflection of its owners.

A dramatic trayed ceiling and an oval mahogany dining table and chairs set the tone for elegant entertaining in the dining room. This is one of Alex’s favorite rooms. The sunroom, one of Tom’s favorite spots, is warm with golden hues, rich leather, and animal print furnishings.

EvansvilleLiving.com september | October 2013 57

Tom owns multiple companies that manage postacute care with diversified service lines, including longterm care, in- and out-patient rehabilitation, Alzheimer’s, and dementia care specialty programmed services.

The couple was not sure just how long they would be living in the area, so for the first three years, they rented a duplex. Five years ago, Tom and Alex bought their present-day home. They were attracted to the 5,300-squarefoot residence because of the physical structure of the house and the private lake in the backyard — one of seven houses situated on the lake. From the moment they moved in, the couple has worked diligently with a variety of contractors to shape the property into a Southern Indiana dream home, pulling up old carpet, putting down wood flooring, stripping wallpaper, painting walls, and ordering furniture.

When the O’Niones moved into the home, they brought with them only a few pieces of furniture. An instant concern for the couple, according to Alex, was “filling the great room. We had only three rooms worth of furniture.” To make this house a home, Tom and Alex worked with Alex’s sister, Melissa Lankford, an interior designer at BJ’s Home Accents in Newburgh. The two sisters began by finding fabrics Alex liked and then made a floor plan for the furniture; only then did Melissa and Alex get busy searching for and selecting pieces to fill the available space. The only furniture that came with the 58 september | october 2013 Evansville Living

The breakfast nook, opposite bottom, overlooks the pool and is centered with a glass and wood table featuring gold medallion upholstered chairs and a curved banquette. The lower level, above, leans to a modern style with an overall monochromatic gray color scheme on the walls and floors with accents of red accessories. The spacious area includes a living room, a sitting area, game table, full bath, a workout room, and a mahogany wood and quartz top bar. Several vignettes are set up around the room, including crystal globes with silver accents

house was a large entertainment center, which was redesigned to maintain the integrity of the interior design. Alex, not a fan of the previous color scheme, had it faux painted antique white with gold, crackled accents.

The expansive basement perhaps best illustrates the couples’ design sense. “The basement was just concrete,” Alex says, adding that it was inspired by a layout in a magazine. “That was the cool part.

We got to design it. It was something we got to do from scratch.” This also added

1,800 additional square feet, increasing the home’s value.

Now, guests can find a gargantuansized bar, more than enough seating, and even a workout and tanning room.

Melissa found the experience of working with her sister, who has a “traditional and elegant style,” to be a positive one. “I’ve really enjoyed it. I treat her like any other client,” she adds. “Well, maybe I do a little more for her.”

Melissa says working with Alex and Tom was a rewarding experience for all

parties. “When we start a design project, we always strive to learn the clients’ personalities and how they want to feel comfortable in their home,” she says. “I already knew Alex’s and Tom’s personal tastes and how they wanted their home to reflect their busy lifestyles. They lead very busy, professional lives and wanted the upstairs to be a peaceful, elegant escape from the busy day. This look was carried out from throughout from living quarters to bedrooms.”

The lower level was designed to accommodate friends and family during the fun times of entertaining at home on weekends and holidays.

“Many people might back off from designing for a family member, but my experience was great, and there was never a misunderstanding or question during the complete process,” Melissa says. “The added reward is I will also enjoy the home

during family gatherings.”

Meanwhile, Tom initially asked the two to run all decisions by him, but soon found himself inundated with requests.

He decided to trust Alex and Melissa.

Trust has played a vital role in the relationship between the O’Niones and their landscape designer, Dallas Foster of Landscapes by Dallas Foster. Alex recalls saying to Tom, “Wouldn’t it be a dream come true to get Dallas out here,” and that dream became reality. Dallas has been able to gain the trust of the couple because of his outstanding vision and foresight. One of the concerns of the couple was the location of the new Vincennes University Gibson County Center for Advanced Manufacturing at U.S. 41 and Coal Mine Road. It was very visible from the O’Niones’ home. Dallas and his crew set to work planting trees

between the house and the view of the building in a staggered fashion. Tom recalls questioning this initially, but once all the trees went up and the building became nearly impossible to see, Tom and Alex had learned their lesson: trust Dallas.

“That’s what’s been great about the O’Niones,” says Brian Wildeman, a landscape designer with Landscapes by Dallas Foster. “They have very nice taste, and it has allowed us to go out to find all the pieces and accents to add on to the job. It reflects their style and their personality.”

As for the couple’s favorite part of the home, Tom’s favorite is the sunroom.

Alex is inclined to say the dining room.

When asked about how this room came together and how she made her furnishing selections, Alex says, “It was the first time I felt really inspired.”

Much More Than Just a College Town photo provided by visit bloomington

Bloomington has a vast array of music, theater, and outdoor options TEXT AND PHOTOS PROVIDED BY JULIE WARREN, DIRECTOR OF TOURISM

The fall season brings beautiful fall colors, a crisp nip in the air, and thousands of energized students back to Bloomington. The campus is filled once again with the excitement and anticipation of young people ready to learn and have some fun! Yes, a busy social life is part of the college experience, and with all of the opportunities to enjoy great art, music, theater, food, and sports, there’s no lack of social engagement for students or visitors.

One of the largest festivals of the fall season is the annual Lotus World Music

and Art Festival. This year’s festival, held Sept. 25-29 in downtown Bloomington, promises to be the best yet as it celebrates its 20th anniversary. Every year, the festival brings in amazing musicians from around the world, from Ethiopian soul and funk to Scandinavian fiddle music. The alwaysvibrant downtown area (with dozens of local restaurants, shops, and attractions) is made even more festive with the sounds of world beats resonating throughout. It’s a great

example of what Bloomington has to offer — great music, culture, energy, and diversity.

The diversity of the landscape is also pretty impressive, and one October event offers a chance to see that first hand. The annual Hilly Hundred bicycle tour will take place Oct. 18-20, with a starting point in Ellettsville and a route that takes riders through the beautiful rolling hills of the region. The tour covers 50 miles on Saturday and another 50 on Sunday, so while it’s not a competitive race, it is challenging.

Entertainment is provided along the route to keep riders motivated. It’s a great way to see the beautiful landscape of the area, get some exercise, and have some fun.

The theater season kicks off in the fall as well, and with three major production companies in town, there will certainly be a show happening when you visit. Each company has an array of shows they produce, but each has a special emphasis that sets them apart. The students and faculty at Indiana University Theatre produce classic, big production numbers, like the musical Chicago from Oct. 15 to Nov. 2. Bloomington’s only professional theater company, Cardinal Stage Company, has a mix of contemporary and family shows, including Lord of the Flies from Sept. 11-

15. The Bloomington Playwrights Project develops only new plays, shows you have never seen before, like the science thriller Sequence from Oct. 4-19. Pair one of these amazing shows with dinner at a local Bloomington restaurant and you’ve got a perfect evening on the town.

There are so many unique events in the fall, plus an array of year-round attractions that make Bloomington a perfect quick getaway. 

Plays and Playtime:

The Hilly Hundred bicycle tour covers 50 miles on Saturday and another 50 miles on Sunday in a challenging, non-competitive race with provided entertainment along the way. The Bloomington Playwrights Project is a professional theater dedicated solely to new plays.

Doug Duell's offers wide variety of vehicles to choose from

By Valerie Wire

Doug Duell’s Evansville Kia, Mazda, Volvo has the best variety, price, and selection of cars for any buyer. Two of the new 2014 models will soon be hitting the Duell doors, and these are cars you do not want to miss.

The new Mazda 6 is sporty, classic, and modern all rolled into one beautiful make of a car. The Mazda 6 was reinvented right down to the core with its Skyactiv Technology. The body is lighter, which provides for more maneuverability around corners and when braking. It also makes the car safer overall. The exterior was created with the driver in mind, to give a sleek, oneof-a-kind finish.

The interior covers every detail a driver could want or need, including the ability to stream phone calls, audio, and text messages. It also offers a built-in turn-by-turn GPS system and a back-up camera. And it’s not all about style — it’s also about comfort. With the driver’s seat memory, heated front seats, plenty of cabin room, and plush leather seats, comfort is always guaranteed.

The all-new 2014 Kia Cadenza has been dramatically recreated and reengineered to create a dynamic mix of luxury, style, and innovative features.

With blind spot detection, adaptive front lighting system, advanced smart cruise controls, and more, this car provides the safety expected from a sedan, and the luxury everyone wants.

Functionality meets comfort in the interior of the 2014 Cadenza. With a central navigation system full of hightech features, music, information, and entertainment, everything a driver

needs will be within reach. Auto Light Controls will be at your finger tips so you can adjust headlamps, high beam, turn signals, and rain sensors, but the auto function means you will never have to worry about turning anything on or off.

We also can’t fail to mention the panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and armrest with remote control that provide the total feel of luxury and efficiency.

When you are looking for your perfect car this year, look no further than Doug Duell’s Kia, Mazda, Volvo, where you will find exactly all you want, need, and even more. 

Top Spot

Kenny Kent Chevrolet offers selection of redefined models

By Valerie Wire

General Motors and Chevrolet have recently undergone a dramatic transition in leadership and their overall product. By transitioning focus to quality, versus quantity, a customer is guaranteed the best car at the best price.

In 2014, Chevrolet plans to release 13 new cars in 12 months, which is almost unheard of in the car industry.

These new cars are going to be better

Standing Above the Rest

Kenny Kent Toyota and Kenny Kent Lexus are in tune with customer needs Provided by Kenny Kent Toyota and Lexus with contributions by Butch Hancock

Last year, Toyota and Lexus were at the top of their game. This year, we are only building on that improvement. We entered 2013 as Indiana’s No. 1 Volume Toyota Dealer, and we also captured the Lexus luxury market. The year isn’t over yet, and we are still continuing to increase our focus on our customers.

What makes Kenny Kent Toyota and Kenny Kent Lexus stand above the rest? We care about what the Tri-State cares about — quality, safety, cost of ownership, customer service, and vehicle savings at time of purchase. We have more than 200 employees at Kenny Kent Toyota, Kenny Kent Lexus, and the Collision Center who come together to provide our customers with more than 1,200 combined years of know-how. But it doesn’t stop there. The service departments are staffed with factory certified technicians with a sharp attention to detail and an overall focus of providing our customers with an exceptional service experience. This knowledge and experience only enhances our customers’ ownership experience.

Toyota knows the reality of rising gas prices and how that affects consumers. For this reason, Toyota is still the most fuelefficient full line automaker in the industry. There are currently 12 Toyota and Lexus hybrid vehicles.

The momentum has continued to build. It began last year with the new Camry and Prius family. The all-new 2013 RAV4 also has been well received, now minus the iconic spare tire on the back. For 2014, the full-sized Tundra truck has been reworked inside and out, and the 2014 Corolla has a completely new design while still upholding its reputation for reliability.

Of course, we can’t fail to mention the much-awaited 2014

Highlander, which is manufactured here in Southern Indiana. The new Highlander provides a bolder exterior and bigger third row seats that improve maximum seating capacity from seven to eight people. More seating does not mean a bigger vehicle, however, as it is the same size and still just as easy to park.

Toyota does not compromise efficiency in its Lexus models either. Introduced a few months ago, the all-new 2014 Lexus IS is a head turner and is moving fast off the lot. The 2014 GX 460 redesign features a new interpretation of the Lexus spindle grille and several interior enhancements. Consumer Reports ranked Lexus as the top brand in its 2013 annual report.

The Lexus RX also has stood out among the rest, earning a top honor in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Cars for Families awards. The RX 350 won 2013 Best Luxury 2-Row Midsize SUV for Families award for having the best combination of quality, features, and space for today’s families.

It is undoubtedly an exciting year for Kenny Kent Toyota and Kenny Kent Lexus. By the end of the year, nine new or updated Toyota, Scion, and Lexus vehicles will be in local showrooms.

With all of the improvements, changes, additions, and customer focus, it is easy to see why Kenny Kent Toyota and Kenny Kent Lexus are two of Southern Indiana’s most trusted dealers. 

Restoration Readiness Customizing vehicles for style and grace

By Jonathan Haslam

Hoosier Hotrods & Classics has set an impressive standard for classic automotive customization and restoration over the past nine years. The combined 128 years of experience among owners and staff make the company one of the TriState’s premier automotive one-stop-shops.

Hoosier Hotrods & Classics was featured in the September 2013 issue of Super Chevy Magazine for its award-winning, custom-built 1977 Chevrolet Nova “SuperNova.” The build features a 500+ horsepower kick from the rear and an upgraded suspension made entirely from customized parts. Outside vendors unable to make specific parts for a custom 1977 Nova allowed the crew at Hoosier Hotrods & Classics to revamp and modify the suspensions, engine mount kits, 4-link rear suspension kits, and front runner kits for the engine almost entirely from scratch. The imported 4-link rear suspension kit from Detroit Speed was intended for a different vehicle but was later reshaped and fit for the company’s new build. This show-winning build is an impressive example of both skill and craftsmanship within the automotive industry.

In the 2012 Hot Rod and Restoration Trade Show, Hoosier Hotrods & Classics was recognized again, winning a feature award with its (still in progress) 1966 Chevrolet Impala. This vehicle, once owned by Reggie Jackson, received attention at the show because of its rare style and size. Due to the unique size and nature of the car, Hoosier Hotrods & Classics has created a unique piece of art on wheels. The car features slick, beautiful lines with a clean interior, undercarriage, and engine compartment. The company’s complete overhaul of the Impala genuinely makes it one of a kind.

The 1966 Impala is scheduled to show at Good Guys and Super Chevy during the 2014 season.

1966 Chevrolet Impala Features:

� Equipped with an L72 425 horse power 427 cubic inch engine � 4 speed � Completely original recreation � Flush bodylines and gaps around every panel

1977 Chevy SuperNova Features:

� Exterior colors are medium blue metallic and stripes are light silver metallic � Engine is fuel injected LS3 with a ProCharger blower � Bowler Transmissions 4L80E Transmission � Completely custom interior by ACE Custom Upholstery � Upgraded front end with Detroit Speed Spindles and Heidts tubular control arms � Upgraded rear Detroit Speed 4 link suspension with 9-inch Ford rear end � Budnik Fontana Wheels � Vintage Air- Air Conditioning � Custom sound system including GPS

Food & Drink Sugar and Spice

New bakery/boutique opens on the East Side It was just a sign carrying the words “Fresh Baked Goods” in the Woolworth’s bakery department in Evansville in 1957. Yet to Andrea Miles, it was a shining star. After she saw a photograph of the bakery in the March/April 2012 issue of Evansville Living, the owner of Sweet Bettys Bakery knew she had to have it in her own shop. And when she couldn’t find the original sign, she had it replicated, and even contributed to the labor.

Now, that sign hangs from the ceiling of the dining room of this unique shop at 5600 E. Virginia St. It’s unique because of its inventory — fresh-baked desserts and sugar- and retro-inspired merchandise — and also because of its name.

“When I was baking in Los Angeles, I didn’t think that Andrea was a name that would ring with people,” Miles says, adding that she wanted to create a persona that people were comfortable with. “I wanted something that felt easy and comfortable.”

“My idea was that anyone could be a Betty,” she says. “She is a character to me, a woman who can do anything.

She’s got all the talents that you are looking for.”

Miles opened Sweet Bettys Bakery on May 28 with her mother, Shirley Doty, and aunt, Dina Harter, after moving back to Evansville from Los Angeles, where she had worked as a baker for nine years. Miles, a native of Lynnville, decided to open the shop after having some trouble finding employment when she first returned to the Tri-State area.

The bakery has an array of options when it comes to sweets, including cupcakes, cookies, pies, cheesecakes, and brownies. The menu rotates, though Miles’ favorite are always offered: chocolate-chip cookies. It’s a dessert she’s spent 11 years perfecting.

Sweets that have rotated through the case are the dreamsicle cupcake, chocolate-chip cupcakes, salted caramel cupcakes, and double-chocolate chip cookies, to name just a few.

The bakery is unique in its goodies and in its style. Miles had a vision of what she wanted, and she made sure it was executed accordingly.

“It goes 1940s, 1950s, 1960s — it’s sort of all over the place,” says Miles.

“It’s just an eclectic mix of everything that makes me happy.”

Pomegranate chicken recipe offers a taste of the season

Get to the core of this healthy snack

ingredients: • • • • • • • • • • •

1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon black pepper 2 tablespoons ground coriander 2 tablespoons cinnamon 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon nutmeg 1 whole roaster (chicken, cut into parts) 8 oz. bottle pomegranate juice ½ pt. blueberries Orange zest ½ + ¼ cup brown sugar

directions: Combine the first six ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl. Pay particular attention to the amounts, as “eye-balling” it can have unintended results. I made this mistake on my first attempt with this dish and ended up throwing away six pieces of salty chicken. After removing the skin from the chicken, coat generously with the spice rub. Set aside for 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

When developing this recipe, I was met with a familiar obstacle. I was asked to use an ingredient that will be in season at the time of publication, but not necessarily at the time of production. Pomegranates are one of the loftier hurdles I was presented with, simply due to their short season of availability.

Never one to retreat from a challenge, I searched for inspiration. I found it in the Mediterranean, home of subtle spices that bring out complex flavors and terrific colors for presentation.

I decided to go with a roasted chicken dish, using a homemade spice rub as the base. I chose to utilize said seasonal ingredient as a base for a sauce, and the flavors are terrifically complementary.

Served with a side of spring greens tossed with fresh pomegranate seeds and lightly dusted with your favorite balsamic vinaigrette, which is super easy to make at home, this has enough warmth to comfort you on a cool fall evening.

Yet it remains light enough to take on a late summer or early fall picnic. Enjoy.

Bake chicken for 45 minutes, rotating if necessary. Meanwhile, in a small saucepot, combine blueberries, orange zest, and enough juice to barely coat the top of the fruit. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Add ½ cup brown sugar, stirring to combine completely. Once the brown sugar is fully dissolved, the sauce will begin to thicken a bit faster, so don’t walk away at this point. Turn off your burner, but don’t transfer the sauce until you’re ready to serve. The more this sauce cools, the thicker it will become. Refrigerated, it takes on a thick glaze consistency and becomes much less workable.

Drizzle over finished roasted chicken, garnishing it with fresh pomegranate seeds, delighting in the wonderful color.

As a complement, I whisked the remaining ¼ cup of brown sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon into 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Served along with the delicately spiced chicken and tart pomegranate sauce, the sweetened yogurt brings the entire flavor profile together perfectly.

When I mention that I have kept an “apple diary,” I tend to get odd looks. Since there are more than 7,000 varieties of apples in the world, this was my method of keeping track of the tasty (or sometimes, not so tasty) attributes of each type I tried. Nerdy?

Perhaps. Helpful? Definitely!

After days of analysis — without a doctor in sight — I now know which kinds are the most appealing to me. Here, I’ve picked a few apples to share with you. Whether you eat them out of hand or baked in a pie, use these tips as a guide on your next shopping trip.

Fuji: These very sweet apples have recently grown in popularity. With a firm texture and crisp bite, they are excellent for snacking and also store well.

Gala: Available year-round, this common apple can be found at most markets. Similar to a Fuji, though milder, it has a sweetness that many deem perfect for making applesauce.

Cortland: With just a hint of tartness,

Cortland apples have a crisp, white flesh that resists browning, making them a good choice for salads and garnishes.

Honeycrisp: A favorite for many, this newer apple is sweet, juicy, and satisfyingly crunchy.

However, because of a limited growing season and high demand, they tend to be pricier.

Pink Lady®: My go-to apple for regular eating, these have a thin skin, creamy texture, and sweet-tart flavor. A great all-purpose variety, they are universally pleasing and popular.

Koru: A new variety I recently tried, the

Koru is a hybrid of Gala and Braeburn apples, with the best attributes of each. They are crisp, aromatic, have a tangy bite but a sweet aftertaste.

Family Nourishment After four years as head chef at Raffi’s

Restaurant of Evansville and one year as the owner of the Nitro Grill, Evansville native and certified culinarian Melissa Gormley knew it was time to set her sights on other ventures. Now, she has her own business, Nourish of Evansville, where she works as a personal chef. Through her business, Gormley implements her mission to foster joyful, healthy relationships between people and their food.

“I work within people’s budgets because I understand that eating home-cooked meals can mean various things for people budget-wise,” says Gormley. “While I do work with healthy food diets for people, it’s not always about just healthy eating. It’s basically about getting people back to eating less processed foods and getting families back to eating together.”

Gormley started Nourish of Evansville at the end of 2011. She had learned to cook from her father when she was younger and always enjoyed helping him with different tasks in the kitchen. Even though becoming a chef was not her initial goal, her passion for preparing food led her in that direction.

“When I first started college, that was not at all what I was going to do,” Gormley says. “But I realized what I enjoyed doing a lot was preparing food and having gather-

ings. So it just happened because I realized what I really enjoyed doing was cooking.”

As a personal chef, Gormley develops delectable programs and weekly budgets that cater to the needs of her clients. She assists with creating meal plans, gives cooking lessons, shows clients how to shop at the grocery store, and can provide some catering for family events. She also can cook for the entire family — and even pets — no matter their dietary needs.

Gormley realized there was a need for home-cooked pet food with certain dietary needs through working at her family’s Highland Veterinarian Clinic, 6805 Darmstadt Road. She explained that a lot of the ingredients are similar to human food, except for added supplements that are necessary for the animal on a per pet basis.

“My parents have owned the veterinary clinic for over 30 years, and what’s happened with that is a lot of their prescription diets have just gotten to be so expensive for people to try,” says Gormley. “We found and worked with a veterinary nutritionist, so it’s actually better than people trying to find things online, but the problem is you don’t always have the same ratios and things per pet.”

“What I do is based on the pet, the weight, and their condition, and I have the

supplements that we use,” added Gormley.

“It helps people out because they do want to take care of their pets. Just like each person, each pet has different nutritional needs.”

customers, Chipotle opened its doors to Evansville residents on July 31. The chain began in Denver, Colo., in 1993. The Evansville location joins more than 900 other restaurants under the Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. name.

A chipotle (pronounced chi-poat-lay) is a smoked and usually dried jalapeno pepper.

But you don’t have to make your meal spicy at Chipotle. The restaurant features large-sized burritos, though one can also order tacos, chips and guacamole, a salad, or a burrito bowl — also known as a burrito sans the tortilla. My favorite is the steak burrito with white rice, black beans, lettuce, sour cream, corn, cheese, and hot salsa for a little extra

spice. However, one also can choose chicken or pork, in lieu of steak. The meat selection is a point of pride at Chipotle, which has a Food With Integrity policy. This means “that whenever possible, we use meat from animals raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones. And it means that we source organic and local produce when practical.” The restaurant also uses dairy from cows that are raised without the use of synthetic hormones.

The Evansville chain is located on the corner of Green River Road and Virginia Street and is open every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

To date, the lines have been long as many Evansville residents experience Chipotle for the very first time.

A Family Place The House of Como returns to its rightful place among local diners

t’s so far south on Kentucky Avenue that, these days, you’re not likely to find it by accident. But that’s the allure of the House of Como. You go there on purpose with a pocket full of cash and know that you’ll most likely be surrounded by regular customers. They might be owner Martha Hage’s classmates when she was in the first grade, who walk in cracking jokes and giving hugs. It might be the chief financial officer of an Evansville business, who’s quick to laugh and just as comfortable sitting at the bar. It might be Robin Bentley, a waitress from Henderson, Ky., who’s worked at the restaurant for 15 years. And it might be a complete stranger who makes a threehour drive just to eat a plate of djage.

“This is a great establishment,” the man says as he takes a break from his baked chicken with meat, white rice, and pine nut stuffing. He’s an unusual patron of the restaurant in that he declines to introduce himself, but it’s clearly not because of his feelings about his meal. He’s been to the House of Como around 25 to 30 times, mostly before he moved to St. Louis. The djage was the first dish he ever had there, and it’s just one of the restaurant’s many Lebanese dishes including kibi seneya (baked fine ground meat and wheat) and yebra malfoof (rolled

cabbage leaves with meat). Yet even with all those choices, this older gentleman always selects the djage. “I said, ‘This is it.’ You won’t go any place and find chicken with cinnamon on it.”

Martha’s husband, George, a Chicago native, opened the first House of Como in 1960 at 2802 S. Kentucky Ave., about a block away from its current location. He dreamed of owning a restaurant that served his family’s Lebanese cuisine. “The expressway was just being thought about at that time,” Martha says, adding that the original House of Como was flanked by various businesses fairly nearby like the Family Drive-In Theater and the Farmer’s Daughter.

That’s changed now. Most of those businesses have closed or moved due to the new geometry of the Lloyd Expressway. These days, much of S. Kentucky Avenue south of E. Riverside Drive is lined with auto stores, and the House of Como is one of the last stops before the Veterans Memorial Parkway.

The restaurant moved to 2700 S. Kentucky Ave. in 1968-1969 after faulty wiring caused a fire in the bandstand area of the original location just a block away. In May 2011, a smoke fire in the kitchen caused the restaurant to close for about a year and one-half while various repairs and changes were made.

Yet the décor has remained substantially the same. Strings of Christmas lights line the edge of the walls near the ceiling, and a life-sized Santa Claus stands near the bathrooms — and on the roof.

“Christmas was a favorite time of year” for George, Martha says.

“It was something that George knew that kids liked.”

food friendly // House of Como owner Martha Hage visits in the bar with John Gasser, left, and Alex Shain. For many who come to the House of Como, favorite dishes include the Mediterranean salad and thin Arabian bread, and the grilled T-bone steak covered with a secret blend of seasonings. At roughly $45, this one-inch (at least) steak could be a meal for two when paired with the homemade loubia, a green bean dish. Regular customers return again and again for the ambiance.

Philip LAwrence

Solo Venture Evansville native Philip Lawrence comes from a family of musicians

A

part, Philip Lawrence and Bruno Mars were broke, struggling musicians. Together, they are an unstoppable force defining the way today’s pop music sounds.

As part of the song-writing and producing trio The Smeezingtons, Lawrence, Mars, and Ari Levine have crafted numerous Billboard hits such as rapper Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” rapper B.O.B.’s “Nothin’ On You,” and pop singer Cee-Lo Green’s “Forget You.” It’s been that way ever since Lawrence, an Evansville native, met Mars in 2006. That’s when music critics began attaching every buzzword-worthy adjective to them. They’ve been celebrated for their hot beats and smartly crafted No. 1 singles such as “Grenade,” “Just the Way You Are,” and “Locked Out of Heaven,” all chart toppers crooned by Mars.

But what’s been critical to Lawrence’s success has For three weeks, I counted every time I heard a Bruno Mars song on the radio. The grand total: 137.

That’s insane, right?

No way! My business manager would be happy to hear that.

What were your first memories of music?

My dad, a deejay, had crates and crates of records lying around the house, everything from the Eagles to Stevie Wonder.

That has influenced me a lot with what I am doing with Bruno because we are all over the place, too, sometimes.

You tweeted recently that you fulfilled your dream of selling out the Staples Center. At what point in your career did you think that dream would be a reality?

At the risk of sounding narcissistic, I think I always had belief in myself. I’ve always felt like I’ve had something to offer when it came to music.

By Louis La Plante

been his Evansville roots — and his musically entrenched family. His mother, Cheryl, was the director of the Sounds of Grace touring church choir for 35 years, his father, Philip Sr., was a radio deejay for WJPS in the 1970s, and his second cousins, Gina Moore and Joan Moore-Mobley, make up The Browne Sisters, arguably the most iconic Evansville R&B and blues band.

The never-better Lawrence, a 1992 Memorial High School graduate, has released his first solo album, Letters I Never Sent, and he’ll take the stage Sept. 14 at the Victory Theatre for his first performance showcasing his work. Joining him will be The Browne Sisters, and his brother and sister, Shane and DeVonna, a gospel duo known as The Lawrences. It’s a carefully curated cast of the musicians who have shaped Lawrence’s life.

Still feeling unprepared for the knockout concert?

Then just turn your radios on — and up.

There were a lot of times along the way when I didn’t know how it would happen, but I was always positive that I could do something great.

Surely you had at least one moment of doubt.

There was a period that we were so broke that I talked to Bruno about moving back from Los Angeles to Orlando where I had once had a gig at Disney World, to save up some money.

But my family had been supportive through my whole career. My mom and dad have a perfect match of practicality and “follow your dreams.”

Do you write your best songs with Mars?

I think so. At the risk of sounding cliché, we complete each other in that sense.

What I remember most from the first time I met Bruno in late 2006 at a recording session a mutual friend had invited us to was the joking around. Our personalities

jelled really well. That, beyond our musical talents, has kept us together this whole time. Because we’re buds. We’ve discovered that we are at our best when the atmosphere is fun, loud, and loose. That enables us to be more creative.

What will surprise people about your solo album?

I think people have associated me so much with Bruno, and they might assume I do the same style of music on my own.

So they might be surprised to hear my rock and folk influences. I’ve listened to and loved that music for a long time, from Billy Joel to Lenny Kravitz to Seal. I’ve always liked the sound of my voice singing those kinds of songs, and my songwriting style is at ease with that style as well.

What’s the key to telling a story through a song?

Songs are like a movie, but you only have three and a half minutes to have it make sense. So, first, you have to be passionate

How did writing music for your album compare to writing for Mars’ work?

There are constraints in the pop world on what you can talk about and what it should sound like for radio stations to even play it.

For my album, I wanted to take the exact opposite approach. I just wanted to be honest, and like we were just talking about, tell stories.

It was a cathartic experience for me to hear myself sing again. When I wrote these songs, I was in “Bruno world” heavy.

I loved it. We were making him a star and making music we loved.

But I just wanted to find my own voice.

So to my luxury, I didn’t have to worry about what a radio station would think.

That helped me tell these honest stories.

about it. Because if you are, you’ll look for the things that captivate an audience. What captivates are songs that come from an honest place, and people relate to honesty.

Brook Forrest White Jr.

Healing Art Glass sculpture evokes powers of water, energy, and color

By Kimberly Long ing frames directing their energy toward the third sculpture in the center, which resembles a plume of water bursting upward. The waves represent the mind and body and are symbolic of energy and emotion, White explains, while the plume of “water” represents the soul. And while the pieces are meant to evoke the idea of water, White did not limit the palette to blues and greens, though many shades of both are present. He included deep purples, delicate lavenders, and fiery reds and oranges.

White is no stranger to creating installation pieces for hospitals — he has installations at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville as well as Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, among others (He was featured in the March/April 2006 issue of Evansville Living magazine for his Gateway installation).

The Owensboro Health project is especially meaningful for him.

His mother and grandmother were both nurses at the former Owensboro-Daviess County Hospital and he grew up (and his mother still resides) virtually a stone’s throw away from the site of the new hospital. He says working in glass has yielded many blessings and this experience in particular has been “humbling.” He adds that a woman posted on the studio’s Facebook page that she had been watching from her father’s hospital room for over a week as the work progressed on the sculpture and that it had made a difficult experience much better. “That singlehandedly validated what we were trying to accomplish,” he says.

Forrest White Jr., overlooks the installation “Mind, Body, & Soul” — three glass sculptures of colors, shapes, and inspirations. It will be especially visible from the cafeteria. “Body” is the orange to purple sculpture; “Mind” is represented from yellow to blue; and “Soul” is a burst of multi-colored shapes.

P

atients at the brandnew Owensboro Health Regional Hospital have been treated to a show this summer in the courtyard outside the cafeteria in the back of the hospital. Since around mid-July, they’ve been able to watch Louisville, Ky., glass artist and Owensboro native Brook Forrest White Jr. assemble his latest — and probably biggest — work of art.

White’s latest installation is privately funded and is entitled “Mind, Body & Soul.” It is three sculptures functioning together as a single work, drawing on “the concepts of water, movement, and color and their role in the human healing process,” according to one of the work’s descriptive plaques. White contracted with a metal artist in Louisville, Bryan Holden, to construct the metal framework of the sculptures, and White’s studio, Flame Run Glass Studio and Gallery in Louisville, began in January to craft the nearly 1,000 separate glass pieces that have now been individually fastened to the metal frames.

The piece, which is 17 feet tall and five feet wide, is essentially complete.

Initially, White planned to display something in the manmade pond on the hospital grounds that is visible from the courtyard, but that proved to be impractical. Yet he chose to keep water as the central concept of the piece.

Two of the sculptures resemble waves, their curv-

Fostering Design

Visitors to Dallas and Susan Foster’s home and gardens in Vincennes, Ind., on Sept. 21 will be treated to the landscape designers’ signature mosaic of landscape color and texture.

Landscapes by Dallas Foster is partnering with Evansville Living to host “A Day at Hawthorn Winds,” an exclusive tour of Dallas and Susan Foster’s personal landscape. The tour benefits the Knox County Humane Society and will be held in Vincennes from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST). Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Entrance for children 12 and under is free.

The Fosters’ personal residence, a showplace for the company’s landscape values, features eight acres of gently contoured lawn and woodlands. A pond surrounded by 12 ornamental Winter King Hawthorn trees defines the landscape for which the homestead was named. The Fosters have hosted prior tours at Hawthorn Winds, and again this year visitors will have the opportunity to explore the many destinations within the landscape, to talk with Dallas and Susan Foster and their knowledgeable staff, and to enjoy snacks and beverages.

The Acropolis Restaurant will serve finger foods, and Gigi’s Cupcakes will offer desserts. Companies serving beverages will be Oliver Winery, Dad’s Root Beer, and Hedinger Beverage Distributing Co. T.R.U. Event Rental will provide places to rest and gather.

Entertainment Center

PG café and art gallery

When in Rome Local café and art gallery offers an offbeat entertainment and dining experience By Brendan Haas • Photos by Jordan Barclay

H

ave you ever heard of the Roman Emperor Pupienus Maximus. Todd Huber, owner of PG café and art gallery, had never heard of him, either, until he started demolition on PG’s building at 1418 W. Franklin St. “We didn’t have a name yet, and when we were doing demolition, we found this wallpaper that had Roman emperors on it,” he says. “One of the names was ‘Pupienus Maximus.’”

Pupienus Maximus reigned as co-emperor of Rome with Balbinus from April 22 to July 29 in 238 A.D. He and Balbinus were assassinated on the same day by soldiers of the Praetorian Guard.

Huber decided to name the café PG, as in Pupienus’ glove. Huber says it’s not known if Pupienus actually had a glove, but he likes the idea of “developing a weird story. It’s about creating a legendary myth” and being inspired as a result of someone else’s inspiration.

A native of the West Side, Huber graduated from Reitz High School in 1999 before moving

132 september | october 2013 Evansville Living

to Bloomington, Boston, California, and Oregon. It was in Oregon that Huber had the idea of opening a café and art gallery.

“My girlfriend, Kate Horvath, and I were looking at starting a place in Portland, but my brother, who owns Tin Man, was going to demolish the PG building for a parking lot, so we decided to come back,” says Huber.

“We thought this was the perfect spot so we were going to make this building work for us.”

“I grew up here, and as a kid there was basically nowhere to hang out on Franklin Street,” says Huber. “We want to be the place that attracts both younger and older generations.”

After starting demolition in March 2012, PG opened its doors on March 15 of this year. The goal is to put on one to three events each weekend, ranging from art shows to live bands and even some open mic nights. Huber wants the customer to experience something that’s comfortable and enjoyable, where people can come sit down and work or just hang out.

“We want people to focus on doing something they wouldn’t do at other bars or galleries,” says Huber.

So far, there have been four experimental open mic nights. These have allowed participants to produce video art, electronic music, and other kinds of art.

Besides offering entertainment, PG also serves food and beer, wine, homemade sodas, and coffee. All of its meals are made from scratch and are “as socially and environmentally responsible as possible,” says Horvath, the kitchen manager. She is selftaught in the culinary arts.

The lunch menu changes almost daily, but the breakfast menu will usually stay the same, consisting of

Mythic muse // Todd Huber is more than just the owner of the PG café and art gallery. He’s also a painter — the above piece is his — who wanted to create a welcome creative space for other artists and musicians. The walls of PG are filled with local art, and regional bands often perform at the gallery.

omelets, hash browns, waffles, and more.

Lunches always offer a soup, pasta, and a salad as well as other often-changing options, too. The smoked salmon has been a popular item and the grilled cheese with jalapeno poppers is quickly becoming a favorite.

Overall, PG hopes to encourage experimentation in Evansville.

“We try to be different,” says Huber.

“Our art is something that you won’t find at other galleries.”

PG also has plans to expand in the near future. A second floor of the building will need to be made handicap accessible before it can be used during opening hours.

“Eventually, we would like to have little PG’s all over town, a little empire,” Huber laughs.

Colour of Humanity

He was a child refugee. Now Derreck Kayongo is considered a fearless visionary. And on Friday, Oct. 11, he will be the keynote speaker at the Evansville African-American Museum’s fifth annual Colour of Humanity Gala.

Kayongo and his wife, Sarah, started their own non-governmental organization, The Global Soap Project, which repurposes partially used soap from hotels into new soap for needy populations. So far, the organization has donated more than half a million bars of soap to more than 20 countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Swaziland, Kenya, and Ghana.

The Colour of Humanity Gala will raise funds to continue the educational programs and support the exhibits of the African-American Museum. It will also support the museum’s general operating expenses. The evening will include cocktails at 6 p.m., dinner, dancing, and a live auction with 10 items.

“The auction items are unique and distinct experiences,” says Nancy Drake, who co-chairs the gala along with Kevin Wells. “The dinner on Oct. 11, we call that our Signature Soul Food Buffet. Everybody loves that buffet.”

The theme for this year’s gala is “The Color Purple,” and it will be held at the Tropicana Executive Conference Center, 421 NW Riverside Drive. Individual tickets are $125 and table sponsorships range from $1,500 to $5,000. Tickets are available for purchase through the museum. If you cannot attend the event, the museum is also accepting donations.

Christ The King’s 8th Annual Jingle Mingle Mart offers a unique experience for area shoppers with more than 60 vendors, from across the Tri-State, in one festive and convenient location. The vendors will showcase a unique array of clothing, jewelry, home and garden décor, gourmet food, artwork, and holiday items.

B.J. McHugh of Loveworn will be one of the vendors returning to this year’s Jingle Mart. Loveworn “reinvents and recycles” T-shirts into adorable skirts and scarves.

Alterations

by Olivia Rockapella

Addams Family

September 27, 2013 - Fri | 7pm

November 8, 2013 - Fri | 8pm

This group is no stranger to our stage!

Because of their ability to ROCK and WOW the crowd, we’ve invited them back for a fourth time to help us celebrate our anniversary. Rockapella and their latest show entitled “Motown & More” pays tribute to the music of Motown. The five members use their amazing musical abilities to perform unique versions of hits from Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, and more.

No instruments, no tracks, no fancy equipment here.

The Addams Family is a smash-hit musical comedy that brings the darkly delirious world of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandma Wednesday, Pugsley and, of course, Lurch to spooky and spectacular life.

“A visually satisfying, rib-tickling, lunatic musical that will entertain you to death!” according to Toronto Post City. Come meet the family. We’ll leave the lights off for you.

TICKETS: $25 and $49*

Final Detail A Fall Festival poster promotes a special kid party with reduced pricing on rides. Note the dates; the festival was held the first full week of October.

The women of the White Shrine Horse Patrol sold CocaCola and other refreshments at their 1951 festival booth.

Though the Fall Festival rides, seen here in 1963, are splashier today, the mission of the host organization remains the same: “Improving our community, one volunteer at a time.”

fall back in time

Nut club parade down Main Street promoting the 1947 Silver Anniversary Fall Festival.

The club’s 1946 Fall Festival program celebrated the theme, “Early Indiana Days.”

The festival was held later than the first full week of October in those days.

For 91 years, the West Side Nut Club has hosted the renowned Fall Festival that beckons us to W. Franklin Street the first full week of October. This year’s fest runs from Oct. 7-12 offering 136 food booths (run by charities) stretching from Wabash to St. Joe avenues, alongside entertainment stages, and a midway of carnival rides. We know that eating our way down W. Franklin Street is an iconic experience that marks the end of summer in Evansville more than Labor Day. In this issue’s Final Detail, we take a look at festivals past, because trips down memory lane are best enjoyed with a funnel cake and warm apple cider.
