The Evansville Icemen lace up their skates for the new season

G

one (for the most part) are the days of upper 90s for highs and 100% humidity. As the calendar switches to October, Evansville sports fans turn their collective heads towards playoff baseball, the heart of college and pro football seasons and the start of basketball season looms on the horizon. However, as daylight gets shorter and the weather gets cooler, the Evansville Icemen lace up their skates for the upcoming hockey season. The Icemen are entering their fourth season of existence of minor league hockey and are hoping to become one of the up and coming franchises in the Central Hockey League (CHL). As a relatively new member of the CHL, the Icemen are looking to establish themselves with the league’s elite. “I think it’s a legitimate league. It’s double A hockey with very high caliber players,” Icemen head coach Rich Kromm said. “There are players on our team that have played at very high levels and I think it’s a really entertaining product for the fans. And I think that moving to this level was a huge step forward for this organization.” Coach Kromm does know a thing or three about coaching and playing at the highest levels of hockey. Kromm played for the Calgary Flames and New York Islanders during the 1980s and early 1990s amassing over 70 goals and 100 assists in his career. Kromm’s experience as a player was a stepping stone for his transition to coaching. The British Columbia native has coached at most levels of professional hockey. “I think it allows me a better feel for where these guys are and what it’s taken for them to get to this level, what they expect from a coach and what they’re expecting from their experience here,” said Coach Kromm.

Icemen Center Todd Robinson

“It’s pretty unbelievable.

It’ll definitely be the nicest arena I’ve ever played in and we’re excited to get it started. I think it’s going to be

a fun year for everyone.” — Evansville Icemen Center, Todd Robinson

“I think it helps when you’ve been in those different areas I can really relate with the players. I’ve played myself and I know what these guys have gone through to get to this level.” With his background in playing a coaching, Kromm is able to better evaluate talent and feels the 2011-2012 Icemen are putting the pieces together to make a championship team. Kromm not only captains the Icemen bench, he also wears the hat of General Manager. This responsibility allows him to scout and sign talented players to the Icemen squad. “We’ve made quite a few changes. I signed Todd Robinson, whom I’ve known personally. He’s a 100 point-getter at this level. So we had the opportunity to sign him when Odessa (Robinson’s former team) moved to another league and he became a free agent. So we were able to sign him and he’s a huge piece of the puzzle for us.”


“We’ve also added on the back end, three strong veteran players who have produced and have won at this level before, in Matt Gens, Phil Plante and Steven Makway, who I think are going to be important pieces to the puzzle,” stated Coach Kromm Robinson looks to build upon his production from Icemen Coach last season as a member Rich Kromm of the Odessa Jackalopes. The veteran center was second in the CHL with 29 goals and 70 assists. Robinson was previously scouted and recruited by Coach Kromm while he was the head coach of the Muskegon Lumberjacks. Not only are Kromm and Robinson familiar with “Voice each other on the ice, both of the hail from the town of Trail, British Columbia. Robinson Icemen” sees this familiarity with Terry his coach as one of the Ficorelli positive aspects of building a championship team. Robinson said, “The fit worked before with myself and Rich (Kromm) and I think he’s putting together a team that can win a championship. And I’m excited to be back with him and excited to get going. He’s a players coach and guys loving playing for him. He has good systems and he’s a winner.” The Icemen are hoping to perfect Coach Kromm’s puck-control style of play and place more tallies in the win column. They will have that opportunity to showcase their brand of hockey as well as show off their new home to the rest of the CHL. The Icemen will no longer be playing at the Swonder Ice Arena and will be making their home at the new Ford Center. “We’ve had the opportunity to go in there a couple of times and have a tour and I think the guys are excited about it. It’s a beautiful building,” said Robinson. “To me, it’s NHL quality. It’s not as big as an NHL building but the quality is there and it’s going to be a magnificent building for the guys to play in,” Coach Kromm said. Robinson is also impressed with the Icemen new digs. “It’s pretty unbelievable. It’ll definitely be the (Article Continued On Page 85...)

Halloween is just around the corner, and there plenty of people in the Tristate area who are ready and willing to scare you or help you find a costume. Here are some places to start!

HOUSE OF LECTER AND THE CATACOMBS Phil Wolter, who runs the House of Lecter and the Catacombs, says that they’re working on creating their scariest season yet. “No other haunted houses in the country do what we do,” he says. “We do a completely different show every year. This year’s show is called Infamous Monsters. We offer a special—two haunted houses, two blocks apart; twice the scare. You can buy a combo ticket for $20 (don’t forget to check out page 95 for a coupon) and you can go through both haunted houses as much as you dare,” says Wolter. “This year, we’re leaving it to your imagination. We simply present the show with this question: Who are the infamous monsters? They are simply the scariest, creepiest, and most horrifying creatures from yesterday and today that you have loved to hate. But… when I pose that question, if I have a thousand people, every one of them is going to get a different image,” says Wolter. “Come in and take a daring step across the threshold of your own imagination into the paranormal and the world of the infamous monsters.” The House of Lecter and the Old Courthouse Catacombs are located downtown and will open on September 23rd. It will be open on Thursdays-Sundays for the entire month of October, and you can get into both haunted houses as many times as you like with a $20 combo ticket.

NEWBURGH CIVITAN ZOMBIE FARM Deneen Cave, CoChairperson of the Civitan Event, is putting on a slightly different kind of haunted house. “We are the only haunted house put on by a civic organization and our profits are all donated into the community. None of us are paid—we are all volunteers. And Civitan is a civic organization,” she says. “The other thing that we do that’s a little different is we open each evening at 6 until 6:45 and we do a “no scare”—lights are on and there are no masks. A tour guide will take children or the faint of heart through and they can check out the haunted house and realize it’s not that horrible,” says Cave. “At 7 each evening, we open the regular haunted house.” The “no scare” house costs $5 a person, child or adult; the regular haunted house costs $10 a person for adults. You can get a coupon here for $2 off the price of admission. And though it’s called a Zombie Farm, Cave is quick to say that there are many different kinds of monsters haunting both the inside and outside of the house. “Because the actors are [Junior Civitan] volunteers, I can have more people in there working. There are quite a few scenes and props, too—this year we have added a new prop, built by Gore Galore, [a local company] run by Kevin Alvey, who is a former Junior Civitan.” The Zombie Farm will be open Thursday – Sunday starting on September 30th. Thursday and Sunday nights will both feature unlimited scare ticket options, though Friday and Saturday will be regular admission. *For more family-friendly options, see the Family & Community Section on Page 76.

Striking a Chord with The

T

he Evansville Philharmonic has been bringing unique and interesting orchestral programs to the Tristate area since 1934. The 2011-2012 season will kick off on October 1st with “The New World,” conducted by Alfred Savia and featuring special guest Kevin Cole, “America’s Pianist.” On October 29th and 30th, the Pops season will open with “Shake, Rattle, and Roll with Flash Cadillac.” Both events will provide glimpses into the way Americans are defined by their music. Cole is considered a definitive Gershwin interpreter by many, including the composer’s estate. Glenn Roberts, the Executive Director of the Philharmonic, says, “Kevin has carved a career niche for himself as the foremost interpreter of George Gershwin’s piano music. And he has that unique quality of playing a piece as if he were composing and improvising it on the spot.” As an added benefit, there will be a free dessert reception after the concert so that the audience can join in the celebration of the beginning of the Philharmonic season. Flash Cadillac will bop onstage in Vectren’s Opening Night Pops with songs from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Roberts says, “Flash Cadillac is a rock ‘n’ roll band – complete with vocals – which appeared on ‘American Band Stand’ and the film American Graffiti… We know how to have a good time, and blending the sounds of a symphony orchestra and good ol’ rock ‘n roll is becoming a specialty of ours.” One good way to see both shows is to purchase season tickets. You can purchase a Classics package, a Pops package, or the Grand Series, any of which includes both of the opening concerts. There is also a fourth option: you can create your own package by working with the Philharmonic. Tickets are on sale now, but as Carrie Marrett, the Director of Marketing, says, “After our opening night on October 1, prorated Grand and Classics Series season ticket packages will still be available. Season tickets can only be purchased by calling our Box Office at (812) 425-5050.” You can also visit www.evansvillephilharmonic.org for questions concerning the season or the tickets. — Katie Darby-Mullins Call for Advertising Information (812) 962-1309 • October 2011

Dishes About The Fall Festival

I

f you’ve spent any time in Evansville, you know that this time of year is just a countdown to the Fall Festival. Often heralded as the second largest street festival in the United States after Mardi Gras (though that’s difficult to prove), the Fall Festival is similar to a gigantic community street fair—full of food, colors, rides, and fun. WIKY 104.1 DJs Dennis John Bailey and Diane Douglas have both been active participants in the festival for several years, both as festival-goers and by running a taste test to determine which of the booths features the tastiest morsels. “My place in history is secure because I am the only known person to sample something from every booth about eight years ago,” says Bailey. “I talked about it on the air, and we had listeners send those big Sam’s Club bottles of Rolaids and we laughed and laughed. But by Wednesday? I was eating those Rolaids,” he says with a laugh. Several teams divide and conquer in order to get to all the booths and give out both daily and overall awards. And this year there’s a new contest— “For the first time, this year, WIKY is holding a contest—a celebrity chef from the area will have a blind pronto pup tasting, either Wednesday or Thursday, and we’re going to determine the best pronto pup on Franklin Street,” says Bailey. But most of all, Bailey emphasizes, “The West Side Nut Club. That’s why we believe in the festival— we want to make this as big an event as we can. I’ve been to the West Side Nut Club events where they give the money away—and they give it all back, millions of dollars. They give everything back.” In case you were thinking of skipping the Festival this year—don’t. Even though it’s the 90th anniversary, the Festival is anything but stale. This year’s theme is “Engaging Community Through Involvement,” and there will be nine new booths for a total of 135. They are also doing a float contest again this year with 20 entrants.

Everyone has their own reasons for going to the Fall Festival, but after some discussion, Douglas and Bailey were able to give these top five: 1. “The food, obviously,” says Douglas. 2. “The thing that we love about the Fall Festival is that it’s a community event in the last blast of the summer. It comes at a perfect time in the first full week of October,” says Bailey. Douglas chimes in, “I agree—normally there’s the whole Eastside, Westside thing, but that goes out the window during Fall Festival.” 3. “All of the booths except for one are non-profit, and that goes back to the old days. There used to be a lot of commercial booths, but now they are all a church or a school or a non-profit, and that’s why everyone shows,” says Bailey. 4. “I would have to say peoplewatching,” says Douglas, before finishing, 5. “Oh, and the rides. People wait all year for the rides.” — Katie Darby-Mullins

Take to the Ice for Good Health

W

ith the Evansville Icemen skating into town and winter weather just around the corner, it’s looking more and more appealing to spend a day on the ice. From beginners to advanced figure skaters and hockey players, ice skating provides numerous health benefits that make it a fun and beneficial wintertime pursuit. Danielle Robins, the assistant manager of Swonder Ice Rink, says that skating “definitely has positive benefits. It’s a good physical activity.” Anyone who has spent a day at the rink can attest to the fact that your body is tired afterwards. Some of the primary benefits, even for the casual skater, are: • Muscle tone: Robins says, “The main benefit [of ice skating] is the strengthening of muscles.” And it’s true, skating tones muscle by changing the skater’s center of balance and by forcing them to move in ways that normal walking and running don’t. “Just general basic ice skating, people who just come to public skate, they’re going to feel tired. The legs, calves, and thighs are where most people feel it,” says Robins.

Ice skating has positive benefits for the whole family, not to mention it’s a good, family-friendly, physical activity.

• Cardiovascular exercise and weight loss: “Skating is beneficial for cardiovascular benefits and weight loss,” says Robins. She is quick to point out, however, “It just depends on the size of the individual how many calories they’re going to burn.” The duration, distance, and amount of time you spend skating all have an impact on how much endurance you will build and how many calories you will burn. “Skating at least an hour is going

interested in hockey, they’ll start with the same basic forwards, backwards, and stop, and then they’ll transition to skating with a stick and a puck.”

• Challenging yourself to improve skills in both personal and team environments: “We teach skating lessons to beginners through advanced,” says Robins, “all ages, from three and up all the way through adults, both group and private lessons.” But once you know how to skate forward, how can you keep challenging yourself and learning? Robins says, “It depends on your interests; if your interest is figure skating, we know you will start out with the basics: how to skate forwards, how to skate backwards, how to stop and fall down and get back up, turn around. That eventually progresses to turning on one foot, transitioning from forwards to backwards, and learning different flexibilities. If they’re

Like any other form of specialized exercise, ice skating can be beneficial to both beginners and seasoned professionals—like Robins said, “I started skating when I was nine years old…and I’m still learning and improving every day. The amount of skills, the possibilities for improving your skating (are) just endless.” — Katie Darby-Mullins If you would like to know more about the services that Swonder offers or their hours, give them a call at (812) 479-2922.

to burn…several hundred calories,” says Robins. Another thing to keep in mind when using ice skating as a weight loss tool—continual skating,

meaning the amount of time that you skate without stopping, not only raises your endurance level, but increases the caloric value of the exercise, which is one good reason to skate at a rink like Swonder.

More Space IS My Space

Need more room? Most of us do! Do the rooms in your home create a vision that captures a sense of openness, space and ambiance or do they vividly remind you of the phrase, “packed like sardines”? News 4U met up with Brenda Pelz from Focal Point Home Staging and Redesign, LLC and asked her if she would help our readers “expand their horizons,” so to speak. She graciously agreed to do so.

FLOORING

Install the same flooring throughout the home to avoid a chopped appearance. Whether it is wall-to-wall carpet, tile, wood, or laminate, consistency is the key. If using tile, choose large tiles set on a diagonal with matching grout. Tip: Running wood or laminate perpendicular to the long wall for long and narrow rooms will make the space appear larger. Area rugs make great accents but they must be the correct size for optimum effect. Tip: In the living room, the front legs of a sofa should sit on the area rug and in the kitchen/dining room all four chair legs should sit on the area rug.

PAINT

Paint can help visually enlarge a space with neutral backgrounds like light gray and taupe. Although lighter colors tend to make a room look bigger, it is more about contrast than color. By decreasing contrast, adding different hues and painting trim the same color as the walls you can give the appearance of more space. Tip: Painting kitchen cabinets can make them look brand new and help enlarge the view of your kitchen.

LIGHTING

It goes without saying that lighting can certainly make a room look bigger. A triangle of three fixtures of lighting can dramatically augment the atmosphere of a room. Tip: Uplights will draw attention and bring life to dark corners, as will under the cabinet lighting in the kitchen.

FURNITURE

Furniture style can affect how large or small a room looks. If new furniture is in your budget, check out transitional style pieces. They can look modern, traditional or even country, but have sleeker profiles and are less bulky with straight arms and legs. Tip: Tables with glass tops and simple legs let you look through them in the space and take up less visual weight than heavy, ornate pieces.

O u t sid e How to Throw a Successful and Fun Fall Backyard Party Summer’s almost over, which means the weather is finally right for a fun outside party. Whether you want to have a small gathering with family and friends, or you want to have a huge shin-dig with scores of people, there are certain things you can do at the beginning to make it a better experience for everyone—both the guests and the party planner. Darrell and Karen LeMond, owners of T.R.U. Event Rental Inc., have over twenty-three years of experience with professional party planning. Choosing a theme—fall weather, Halloween, football—is the easy part. However, having a party outside presents unique challenges; you have to consider electricity, lighting, whether or not to serve alcohol, and the unpredictability of the weather. Darrell and Karen’s common sense advice will help make your next outside party intuitive.

If you plan to set up a tent…

Having a tented area for your backyard party can provide shelter and a good place to keep food and drink, but it’s important to plan where you’re going to put it. Karen cautions “Make sure to call 811 to have utilities marked.” “Tent stakes go in the ground about 31 inches, and 811 is a free service,” says Darrell. “But you can’t call them today and expect them there tomorrow. Give them three or four days’ notice. They’ll come out, check your yard, and mark utilities with spray paint.” Karen says, “The only thing 811 personnel won’t be able to take care of is an invisible fence or a sprinkler system. Those items are not public domain.”

If you’re having a larger party…

Many hosts will serve alcohol. The larger the party, the more important it is that someone be monitoring alcohol consumption—especially if there are “under 21” guests present. One way to do that, Darrell says, is to “hire a licensed bartender. This will reduce the liability of the homeowner.” Another thing to consider is parking. “Be sure to have a parking area set aside for your guests,”

Having a tented area for your backyard party can provide shelter and a good place to keep food and drink, but it’s important to plan where you’re going to put it. Karen cautions “Make sure to call 811 to have utilities marked.” “Tent stakes go in the ground about 31 inches, and 811 is a free service,” says Darrell.

says Darrell. “If you’re inviting 75 people, where are they going to park, down the street, at a church or school? Do you have enough room in your yard?” Make arrangements beforehand; this will help you avoid potential problems the day of your event.

Consider the lighting and electrical components…

Too many heat-based items on one circuit can blow a fuse or circuit breaker. Be mindful of that when plugging things in! “It is important to check the power so there is enough “juice” for the band or DJ, lighting and coffee makers, etc.,” says Darrell. “And, verify with the band if flooring is required.” says Karen. It’s better to rent a stage or raised platform and be safe than to worry about using electric guitars and keyboards while standing directly on the ground or grass.

Consider your guests’ comfort:

Darrell also recommends having a pest control company spray your yard three or four days before the party to keep little gnats and bugs away. “It makes a huge difference.” For any kind of event, Karen says, “The only limitation is your imagination and a budget,” to which Darrell adds with a laugh, “and your power source.” A little creativity coupled with some common sense should lead to a party that people will talk about for a long time. — Katie Darby-Mullins If you want to rent a tent, furniture, or even just get help in planning your next party, you can call TRU Event Rental, Inc., at 812-423-6744 or visit TruEventRental.com.

Couponing for Everyday People Coupon clipping equals savvy savings in today’s economy. Most of us have clipped a coupon here and there, but probably have never felt the impact of tremendous savings as a result. As grocery prices escalate, however, more and more people are searching for ways to stretch an already tight budget. News 4U enlisted the advice of coupon saving expert Amanda Wildt, founder of Sister SaveALot Ministry in Stewartsville, IN, to share a few money saving secrets with our readers. “The amount of savings one can enjoy is directly related to the amount of time, sorting, budget planning and research that a person puts into it. I, generally, see a 50%-80% savings return each week and have cut my monthly grocery bill by 75%,” says Wildt. “Couponing has helped save me a lot of money on a variety of items including: 25 grill seasonings for free, 4 jumbo packs of diapers, 2 gallons of milk for which I paid $1.95 and 20 loaves of bread for $5.00, to name just a few.” Amanda goes on to say, “Organization is the key factor for successful couponing. I personally use a 3” binder to sort all of my coupons by type of product, (i.e. Dairy, Frozen, Paper Products, Meat, Breads and Cereals and Miscellaneous.) My binder travels with me everywhere I go.” Strategy, persistence and perseverance will enable you to reap valuable money saving benefits from coupon clipping. — Tammie Tuley Sister SaveALot is a Money-Saving, Non-Profit Ministry that works with individuals interested in learning how to save money on grocery and retail items.

Chosing the Perfect Scent

esigners are constantly putting out new fragrances. They stock shelves in perfume stores across the country, confusing consumers about what to buy. Add to this our own unique body chemistry, and finding a new or signature scent can be a challenge. While searching online and in magazines to see what’s popular is an option, we cut down on some of the leg work when we talked to store manager of Perfume Plus, Katherine Moore. The starting place for any shopping excursion is to know what you like. “It’s important to get a feel for what they prefer,” says Moore. There are several categories of fragrances, as well as strengths of scent which need to be taken into consideration. Scents include floral, fruity, musky, and what Moore refers to as “night scents.” There are many ways to start your search. Call on your favorite designers to provide you guidance. A designer’s collection of clothing compliments their fragrance style. The classic shapes of Dior hold classic fragrances that are everlasting. Sleek and casual Juicy Couture provides the same in its most popular scent Viva La Juicy. If you admire a celebrity, don’t be afraid to look into their brand to find your best fragrance. Celebrities like Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer Aniston have all gotten into the fragrance business. What if you like the scent you already wear, but want to change up your routine slightly? Many companies offer “flankers” or a reformulated version of an original fragrance. D&G Rose the One, Stella Nude by Stella McCartney, or Hypnotic

Poison by Dior are all examples of flankers. Flankers allow for customers who are scared of change to be able to try something new without straying too far from what they know and like. Once you’ve narrowed down the field of literally hundreds of candidates, follow these tips to bring your final choice on home. First, spray on blotters of testers before spraying onto your skin. If you don’t like it in the air or on paper, you won’t like it on your skin. Clear your pallet if you’re trying out multiple scents. Just like your tongue, your nose can get bogged down with flavors. By using a clearing scent, like that found in coffee beans, your nose can keep up with your indecisive tendencies. And knowing what you’re wanting your fragrance for can be the defining factor in your choice. Some fragrances transcend daytime into nighttime while some can only be classified for the evening. A strong scent you would wear on a date might not work on a daily basis. In the end, a fragrance you wear will always be uniquely yours. And, if you just can’t decide that’s okay too. There are enough fragrances in the world to be able to wear a different scent every day of the year. — Alison Sigman

MONEY | Financial Lifeguards Can Help Prevent Drowning in Debt

T

he current economic crisis has triggered unprecedented financial challenges and hardships for many families throughout our community. A report by Experian states that, “In 2010, Evansville residents racked up 16 percent more credit card debt than the year before—more than any other city in the nation.”

News 4U contacted Apprisen Financial Advocates and enlisted advice from Kimberly Brown, Financial Counselor, to learn more about available options for those who are struggling financially.

N4U: What initial steps should be taken when experiencing a financial challenge? KB: Take control of your financial situation by reviewing your income, budget, and debts to help determine where you can realistically make changes. N4U: Who can benefit from financial counseling? KB: Anyone can benefit, whether they are currently in distress (possibly due to a reduction in income, divorce, increased medical expenses, poor money management, or little-to-no savings) or they want assistance in achieving financial goals. N4U: What steps can be taken to avoid bankruptcy? KB: A Financial Counselor can review your personal financial situation and any available alternatives to, or consequences of, bankruptcy. Anyone filing for bankruptcy is required to go through a U.S. Trustee-approved credit counseling agency for pre-bankruptcy credit counseling and pre-discharge debtor’s education. N4U: Are credit card companies willing to work with customers? KB: In general, credit card companies are willing to work with you; some may not be willing to work with you until you are past due and some may refer you to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) for assistance. The key is to stay in contact with your creditors. N4U: What is a debt management plan and how does it work? KB: A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is designed to help pay off credit card, medical and other unsecured debt in a timely manner. An Apprisen/CCCS counselor can act on your behalf with creditors to work to establish a reasonable and mutually acceptable repayment plan.

Monday Night Football is Back!

P

eople are gearing up for the beginning of football season—and the triumphant return of Monday Night Football. There are all sorts of good places in town to get some dinner and a drink while enjoying the game. Places like Old Chicago are even taking it one step further and offering other incentives to enjoy the game with them.

Joey Tornatore, the General Manager of Old Chicago, says about Monday Night Football, “We have a ro-sham-bo with paper-rock-scissors. Every Monday and Thursday night there is an NFL game, we do ro-sham-bo.” They have eightman brackets with two winners every night. “We also raffle off prizes—jerseys and things,” says Tornatore. And for those who win the Monday and Thursday night ro-shambo? Not only do they get a prize that week, but they qualify to compete in the Super Sunday Showdown on Superbowl Sunday. “And on Superbowl Sunday, we’ll have a party and give away a big screen, 50” HDTV,” says Tornatore.

Fox & Hound

5416 E. Indiana Street • Evansville, IN (812) 473-5721

T

he Fox and Hound Pub bills itself as the place for sports, spirits, and fun; but that doesn’t mean you should have dinner somewhere else.

“People think of us as a bar more than as a restaurant,” said General Manager Steve Glenn, “but we have really great food and a great menu.” It’s true—the Fox and Hound has a surprisingly innovative menu to complement the sports bar atmosphere. The appetizer section, for example, offers pot roast sliders made with braised short ribs, and fried soft pretzels with queso and horseradish dips. You may also choose a bowl of tortilla soup or the Newcastle Brown Ale beer cheese soup. The fried fish and chicken tenders are also hand-dipped in Newcastle beer batter. For your entree, have a pizza with basil pesto sauce; a Black Forest sandwich with grilled turkey, bacon, and honey mustard on a Bavarian pretzel roll; or blackened mahi mahi with jambalaya rice. All of this is in addition to one of the best draft beer selections in town. Thirty-six beers are on tap every day. Another 70 imports, domestics, craft

and micro brews are available bottled. My bartender, Mike, informed me that soon the number of bottled beers will rise to over 100. I began my meal with the spicy chicken “billiard sticks” ($7.99). Chicken, black beans, peppers and cheese filled a crisp package that resembled a small chimichanga. The side of poblano sour cream dip had a deep green chili flavor, and would be delicious on anything. Next came the tavern burger ($9.49), a juicy patty smothered in cheddar cheese, bacon, sauteed onions and barbeque sauce on a toasted bun. Crisp pickle slices, a pile of shredded lettuce, tomato and red onion came on the side. Instead of fries, I added half of a Napa Valley spinach salad ($9.99 for the full size), which was absolutely loaded with bacon, cranberries, grilled chicken and feta cheese, all in a very tasty pinot noir shallot vinaigrette. It was topped with crisp, freshly-cut slices of granny smith apple. Last, but not least, I tried the cheesecake ($5.29), an enormous slice doused in strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries. With my meal, I sampled a Bourbon Barrel Beer from Bluegrass Brewing Company. The dark brew had been aged in a Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrel, imparting a sweet, caramely edge to the strong toasted malt. Thanks to Mike, I also got to sip the new house drink special, the Corona margarita. This

icy delight arrived with a full miniature bottle of Corona suspended upside down in the margarita. As the cocktail disappeared, the beer drained from the bottle into the glass. “We want the Fox and Hound to be a social gathering place, a neighborhood pub and grill,” said Glenn. “We stay open until 3:00 a.m. on weeknights, so all of the hospitality people can come here to get a beer after work, and we even have an event coordinator to help you plan your party. We just want everyone to feel welcome.” — Aimee Blume The Fox and Hound is located at 5416 E. Indiana Street in Village Commons. Hours: 10 a.m. - 3 a.m. 7 days a week.

Tin Fish

300 West Jennings Street • Newburgh, IN (812) 490-7000

organ Close, owner of the Tin Fish restaurant in Newburgh, grew up on the banks of the Hudson River in Upstate New York, where she received her first culinary training. “After high school I did a three-year apprenticeship for a Swiss chef in New York,” she said. “Then I was a sous chef at an event center in Canyon City, Colorado, and finally I cooked in Florida for a year.” Her next move brought her to the banks of the Ohio. Here in Evansville, she worked as the grill cook at Evansville Country Club for about a year before starting at Tin Fish. The Tin Fish opened in 2005, and was operated by the franchise owner, Joe Melluso, when Close came to work for him in March of 2007. She quickly worked her way up through the ranks to become the manager, and then made a big decision. “I took a week to think; then I bought the business in October of that same year” she said.

food

localchefspotlight

Diving into business ownership was a natural choice for Close. “I come from a family of entrepreneurs,” she said. “Having a business and working with the public came naturally for me. I grew up working behind my parents’ counter. They owned an old time cigar and tobacco shop, the oldest one between New York City and Albany.” Melluso retains the Tin Fish name and recipes, but each individual Tin Fish owner decides on which portions of the menu to use and is free to personalize her own décor and atmosphere. Close’s hip fish designs, colorful bar, and modern furnishings are a refreshing change from the typical net-and-anchor nautical theme. A lovely outdoor patio and live music add even more appeal to the funky Jennings Station location. Each restaurant owner is also free to source their own products, and Close goes with Bluefin Seafoods in Louisville, who will deliver fresh fish six days a week. It all adds up to a busy restaurant. On a recent Saturday night, the crowd began spilling into the Tin Fish well before 6 p.m. Many headed for the large party gathering in the private dining room, while others were seated on the patio or downstairs in the outdoors-in-the-indoors dining area that turns the hallway of Jennings Station into a quaint European square. The customers keep returning for more of the cod, clam strips, shrimp, calamari, crab cakes, catfish, orange roughy, frog legs, walleye, salmon, trout, tilapia, mahi-mahi, oysters, swordfish, scallops, and salmon that Close keeps in stock for her large and varied menu. Almost any of the fish can be ordered grilled or fried. Prices for a platter with crisscut fries and slaw range from $9.95 for frog legs to $17.25 for a large grilled combination). For those who don’t like seafood, the menu offers a selection of chicken entrees and salads, and a “minnow menu” for the youngsters. — Aimee Blume The Tin Fish is located in Jennings Station, 300 West Jennings Street, Newburgh.

CALLING ALL BANDS…

B

etween Battle of the Bands and biking, the Evansville Junior League’s Rockin’ River City Ride should be an exciting day. Though the event will take place on April 21st, the preparation has already begun, especially for the bands who want to vie for a spot as champion. “The ride is family and athletic oriented—then there will be five bands that go onstage and rock it out,” says Lisa M. Vaughan, the Committee Chair of the Rockin’ River City Ride. “Our closing event—an after party, really—is the Battle of the Bands. All the proceeds will benefit the Junior League and we’re pairing up with the Rotary Club to put on the entire event,” she says. Bands can now start signing up to participate at the Junior League of Evansville website, www.juniorleagueofevansville.org. Starting this month, there will be a link to a separate website that is just focused on Battle of the Bands. “And then starting in November, people will be able to go and listen to MP3s of the bands and vote for finalists,” says Vaughan. Vaughan says that the Junior League is very excited about incorporating the Battle of the Bands into their ride this year. “We want bands to register and participate, and we want the entire community to come out and support the cause and have this be a fantastic community event…we’re hoping to get as many bands as possible to apply. We’re expecting about a thousand people total between the ride and concert.” — Katie Darby-Mullins

Need a Costume? We’ve got’em from sultry to silly!

CIRILLA’S

Cirilla’s is, as store manager Alisa Sugg says, “one-stop shopping for Halloween.” From schoolgirls to pirates to animal costumes, in sizes small through 3X, they have all of the costume bases covered. “We have everything here,” says Sugg. “We have costumes, petticoats, accessories, hosiery, hats, gloves, the bottoms to go underneath costumes like boy shorts, all the accessories: shoes, wigs—even false eyelashes. You can get everything at one time,” she says. And in case buying that much in one place is what’s scaring you, they also offer a pretty unique feature when it comes to Halloween costumes: dressing rooms. “You can try it on all together. You can have your complete look together before you leave the store,” says Sugg.

NICK NACKERY

Suzy Blesch, owner of the Nick Nackery, says that even though she’s in the costume business 12 months out of every year, Halloween is different. “Halloween is totally a party and social event,” she says. “I’ve got 11 showrooms under one roof, and an easy 10 of those are devoted to costuming, accessories and make-up, hats, and wigs—all year long.” That’s not to say that there aren’t some new, exciting attractions at the Nick Nackery this season, however. “I’ve got in a really nice brand new line of shoes this year and lots of new decorations. I’ve expanded on the costume lines and brought in some new costume lines,” says Blesch. “Even if you’ve been to the store before, there’s been a lot of expansion— my inventory is bigger and stretches further,” she says.

EXOTICA

Aside from the variety and new items, including new Shirley of Hollywood corsets and all of the accessories you need, this year Exotica’s big promotion is that, “with October being breast cancer awareness month, 10% of the profits of all costumes and accessories are going to breast cancer research. That’s the biggest thing that we’re doing this year,” says an Exotica representative. “We have costumes starting at $20, and some will probably go quick,” she says, “but the biggest thing that we hope will drive people there this Halloween season is the promotion that we’re doing. You’re going to get a Halloween costume somewhere, why not get it at Exotica if you know that it’s going to go to breast cancer awareness and prevention...your money is going to go to research and prevention locally.” — Katie Darby-Mullins Call for Advertising Information (812) 962-1309 • October 2011

Ratings are given from 1-5. “5” is the best rating a reviewer can give, meaning they were very pleased with the beer and would strongly recommend it. “1” is the lowest rating a reviewer can give, meaning they did not enjoy the beer at all.

Widmer Brothers Okto Festival Ale

Boulevard Bully! Porter

Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat

(Portland, OR)

(Kansas City, MO)

(St. Louis, MO)

Amanda Smith – 4.5

Winner, winner chicken dinner. This beer is exactly what I like in a beer: full-bodied, filling, and pleasing with a slightly sweet but robust and nutty finish. A post-season Cardinals game, chips and salsa, and a six-pack of this are in my near future. You will see me at Liquor Locker buying this beer soon.

Jabez Martinez – 4.0

A cloudy brown beer with some hops and caramel in the aroma and some fruits added in. It had a heavy hops flavor, some caramel, but also finished with the fruit flavors. I did like the crispness that this beer had. The usual seasonal beer likes to linger on your pallet, but this one didn’t.

Todd Zachritz – 3.5

The dependable Widmer’s entry into the Oktoberfest sweepstakes opens a cloudy amber appearance and attractive spoke-wheel lacing on the glass. Superlative presentation! The aroma is caramel and wheat and pretty well typical for the style. But the taste, you ask? It’s sweet with the caramel malts up front alongside hints of a nutty, almost roasty, character. Very well done, and an enjoyable brew.

Amanda Smith – 4.0

This nutty porter has a wonderfully rich cocoa taste. If you are a fan of dark, complex porters, you will surely enjoy this one. The balance of roasted nuts against a warm chocolate makes this ideal to sip and savor or even enjoy with a dessert.

Jabez Martinez – 4.5

This beer poured a dark brown, almost black color. It had the standard roasted malts and coffee aroma, which matched its flavor. I could also taste some chocolate and even a little vanilla. It did have a little sweetness to the flavor, and the flavored lingered for a while. A nice Halloween party beer.

Todd Zachritz – 4.0

This is a perfectly-executed porter with a deep black appearance and an overwhelming carbonation that leaves some extraordinary retention on the glass. First sniff reveals a nutty, roasty character, with a chocolate or cocoa overtone. Nice! Tastes burnt with a more bittersweet cocoa at the finish that seems to sweeten up as it warms. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this one, and any fans of porters or stouts will be pleased with it.

Amanda Smith – 2.0

I am surprised at the amount of spice that this beer puts off. The underlying clove and pumpkin duo is strong enough, and I expected a fuller-bodied beer. I’m disappointed in how thin it is. I suspect I would like it better if it were fuller-bodied. And without instructions. I seriously don’t like beers with “how to drink” instructions.

Jabez Martinez – 3.0

I had high hopes for this beer. I love the regular Shock Top but this was just a little average. It is a hazy orange colored beer. I could taste the pumpkin and spices but they were a little weak. If you have never had a pumpkin beer and would like to try one, this is a good starter. Nothing flashy, just average.

Todd Zachritz – 1.0

This seasonal macro-posing-as-craftbeer pours a cloudy copper with an average head and very little lace. Smells like pumpkin rather than spice. Not bad so far. But the worst is yet to come! The flavor is metallic with a weird artificial-tasting pumpkin-spice mix. To boot, this one’s watery and thinbodied. There’s something missing here. Avoid!


Shipyard Pumpkinhead (Portland, ME)

Amanda Smith – 3.0

The flavor is a bit underwhelming. With the whole “Halloween” vibe it gives off, I was expecting more. What I did find was a medium-bodied brew with very subtle spicing. It would be a good beer for those who are just starting to explore the world of spiced brews.

Jabez Martinez – 2.5

I originally didn’t know if I really liked this beer or not. It had a strong pumpkin aroma but was a clear amber colored beer. It had a very sweet flavor and an ample pumpkin flavor. The more I drank it, the less I liked it. The flavor began to become bitter and the pumpkin flavor seemed to fade. I was not impressed by this offering from Shipyard.

The Lingo Q What is “Oktoberfest”?

Todd Zachritz – 2.0

Q What is “Pale Ale”?

I wanted to like this one, being from Maine and boasting of a spookycool Ichabod Crane character on the label, but alas, this clear and golden ale, with limited head and no lace, proved disappointing. The nose seemed lagery, grainy, and thin...not very pumpkin-like at all. The flavor was also mild and bland, even. Imagine a typical adjunct lager beer with some pumpkin flavoring dropped in, and you have this unimaginative brew. Thanks, but no thanks.

:

A: Traditionally a marzenbier beer, but today often a paler brew. :

A: Pale Ale was originally a British style. Classically, Pale Ale ranges from bronze to a full copper color. The body is “pale” as opposed to a brown ale or porter. — Complied by J. Watson, Liquor Locker - Weinbach

soundboard Jon Snyder

J

on Snyder is a guitarist, both personally and professionally. As well as playing in four bands around the Tristate, he also teaches private and group lessons at The Guitar Lab. Snyder has been playing for almost 30 years. He’s been playing with Hog Maw (formerly Hog Maw Blues Band) for ten years and the acoustic duo Dave and Jon for almost four. He also plays with the Echo-Plexes and is preparing for a new project, The High-Fi Cultivation. He took some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions. What is the benefit of playing with many different musicians? I’ve been VERY lucky in that I’ve played with nearly every one of my favorite local players! Each gig calls for a different set of skills, some I’m naturally good at, some I’ve had to work at. Probably the best learning experience was playing every week with Troy Miller for a few years. There was no telling what song he’d call out and many times it was sink or swim. I did a LOT of sinking! You know what they say, you learn more from mistakes. What guitars do you play? My two main guitars are a Gibson CS-336 and a Fender Nocaster Relic. I’ve got some customized amps that I really dig. With Hog Maw I play a 70’s Bandmaster Reverb that a friend of mine heavily modded for me. It’s a damn near magical amp. With the Echo-Plexes I play a hand-wired reproduction of a Fender Tweed Deluxe (built for me by the same friend). Though you wouldn’t know it by my cluttered pedal board, I really like to keep things simple. A decent guitar with decent pickups through a tube amp with enough power to sweat without making your How do you balance teaching and playing? audience sterile is all anyone should really ever need. I consider myself a full-time teacher and a part-time player. Most of my time and energy goes into teaching Do you guys play covers or originals? private and group classes at The Guitar Lab. I love it. In Hog Maw we do play a few songs that I wrote, and we I’ve been teaching now for ten years. I’d like to think even put out a CD years back. It’s a cool feeling to play that I’m very good at what I do and I put a LOT of one of my songs and have people dig it. But we do mostly “off the clock” time in for my students.

Noonie Moonshine

Y

ou look at someone and—based on their appearance—develop a story for who they are and how they came to be in this moment. It seems that a surprising number of people resemble what some may call “modern day hippies.” Modern day hippies are those living green. It’s their way of expressing love towards our planet and their approach to life is fun. Once a derogatory term, the word “gypsy” is used today to describe persons of nomadic lifestyles. It also describes a counter culture movement that idealizes exploration and art. Modern gypsies, not to be confused with hippies, often play the tambourine and perform some form of belly dance fusion/burlesque or fire dance. Many practice an earth-based spirituality like Noonie’s life adventures, from massage therapy to Burlesque belly dancing to acting performance artist. I tracked down Noonie Moonshine (stage name) and asked her about the playfully bawdy life of a burlesque dancer. I learned that she has been performing as part of the burlesque troupe known as the “Drop Dead Darlings.” Her style of burlesque dance has developed into what is known as Revue Burlesque, which means she “doesn’t reveal anything” on stage. Her street performances are more like a mystery on stage where several of the partygoers are secretly, and unknowingly, playing a part in her act. The other attendees must determine who among them is involved and the rest of the show is devoted to investigation.

Will there be any future events to look forward to?

Noonie: A tent show with feminine overtones in forms of vocals, instrumental, artwork, and dance set on a musical wave engineered by Brett Siler and Jesse Galamore at the Bokeh Lounge (will take place) on November 5th. It will consist of two plays that marry each other; it can be generalized from life’s experiences from conception to meeting your maker. The billing title is “Noonie Moonshine presents a Noonie Moonshine Production starring Noonie Moonshine at High Noon.” News 4U readers will have a chance to win tickets to the show through a scavenger hunt. Begin with astronomy or history inside the central library. Don’t bother the employees—they won’t know what you are asking about. Otherwise, purchase tickets at Bokeh Lounge located on Parrett Street, next to Alhambra theatre in the Art’s District. It’s $10 per show, $15 for both. Our “Distinguished & Generous” receive all the bells and whistles for $25.

earth-based spirituality like Noonie’s life adventures, from massage therapy to Burlesque belly dancing to acting performance artist.”

Tell me about the projects you have been working on other than your dancing?

Noonie: My other interests include acting in a few films for Mitch Massie, an amazing director/writer filmmaker here in Evansville! I have had the joy of being his dancing nun, a body in a bag, a neck and face stabber, a girl running and being captured, and a tortured soul who gets shot in the head. All of these roles were in a music video and in two of his films, Anethema Report and The Hymnographer. I have also been black and white dancing/grabbing arms and have been “saved” by singer/songwriter Eric Vain, all thanks to Mitch and his support team! — Tamatha Lant Call for Advertising Information (812) 962-1309 • October 2011

Rachel Taylor Brown “World So Sweet” CD (Penury Pop)

Voivod

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, pianist/songwriter Rachel Taylor Brown’s seventh recording is a lovely and haunting indie-pop set. A spiritual sister to Lisa Germano, “World So Sweet” gets dark and unsettling beneath the sunny baroque pop song structures. Idiosyncrasy and individuality? Rachel Taylor Brown has them both in spades. I salute her.

Kyng

“Trampled Sun” CD (RealiD Records) Here’s some well-baked heavy California rock that reminds me of Black Sabbath, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Soundgarden. There are some radiofriendly tracks here, but overall it’s a riff-tastic classic rock experience, full of big thump, pummel and wail. I liked this one.

Left Spine Down “Caution” (Metropolis Records)

This Vancouver electro-punk act has been around for a few years and has shared some members with Front Line Assembly. But LSD is more rock song-based, not industrial dance-oriented. I liken their sound more akin to Mindless Self-Indulgence. “Stolen Car”, for example, is a sneering punk song with electronics. Decent work, but not something I’d seek out. — Todd Zachritz

“Warriors Of Ice” CD (Sonic Unyon Metal) (4 stars)

A well-recorded live album from these Canadian tech-prog-metal futurists, “Warriors” reunites the 3 surviving original Voivod members for a set of classics and favorites, including “Voivod”, “Nothingface”, and “Nuclear War”. It’s good to hear these legends going back to their thrashy roots, with songs like “Overreaction” being blurs of primal metal fueled by visions of a post-Bladerunner cyberpunk world. “Brain Scan” is prog-metal with clarity and guts, and sans pretense or wankiness. It all closes with the band’s notorious and wonderfully faithful cover of Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett-era psychedelic masterpiece, “Astronomy Domine”. The recordings here are crisp and punchy, with plenty of bottom-end crunch. Superb work from some legends who keep motoring on. — Todd Zachritz

Time Being

“A Dimension Reflected” CD (Lotuspike) (3.5 stars) The first release from the duo of Phillip Wilkerson and Jourdan Laik, “A Dimension Reflected” is a stately and wistful collection of pure ambient music. That is to say,

these 8 extended passages are fleeting and vaporous clouds of relaxing and peacefully mysterious electronic drones and pulses. Think Steve Roach, Robert Rich, or classic Brian Eno. “Dust Of Sorts” shimmers and sparkles, reminding of a lovely lake at dawn, rife with ripples and reflections. “Future Forming” is majestic, with a hint of shadow. Beautiful music here, and perfect for unwinding to. — Todd Zachritz

All Pigs Must Die “God Is War” CD (Southern Lord) (4 stars)

Fronted by Hope Conspiracy bellower Kevin Baker, and including Ben Koller (and producer/mixer Kurt Ballou) from famed hardcore nihilists Converge, APMD unleash a devastating blow on this debut album. It’s a brief yet grueling affair, running all of 8 tracks and 33 minutes, but All Pigs don’t waste any time showing their hardcore roots. Every cut here is positively ferocious.

Robert Plant “Robert Plant’s Blue Note” DVD (Sexy Intellectual UK)

T

his lengthy (155 minute) documentary exhaustively details the former Led Zeppelin frontman’s history, from his initial inspirations of classic rock & roll and blues to his recent forays into Americana and bluegrass. The scope of this man’s musical interests is deep and varied, indeed. His explorations of Arabic musics is examined in detail, and Plant is shown as much more than a rock singer. Rather, he’s a renaissance man and an artist of the first order. It’s an unauthorized bio, but this one succeeds, tapping plenty of actual interviews with Plant himself alongside the usual array of writers, journalists, and critics. As well, we’re treated to plenty of video of Plant in action and on-stage, from his rock-god days to his shaky solo work in the 80’s to his newer, classier Americana and blues-tinged duets with Alison Krauss. An excellent history lesson on a music legend. I learned a lot, and thus this one comes recommended. — Todd Zachritz

From the opening of “Death Dealer”, APMD bruise and pummel with unrelenting viciousness. “Sancrosanct” approaches black metal, whereas “The Blessed Void” is a low-end blur of head-smashing thrash. It all leads up to “Sadistic Vindicator”, which closes things out with a huge wall of guitar sound and brutal, churning rhythms. This is an album of violent aggression, and though it’s a limited palette of sound, it’s a wholly effective one. — Todd Zachritz

Tony Memmel Here We Go

T

ony Memmel’s story starts out like a lot of guitarists’. He convinced his parents to go in half with him on an electric guitar when he was 13 years old. “They were supportive, but skeptical,” he says. “When I first picked up the guitar, though, I didn’t see it as a courageous act.” And most of us would agree that playing guitar isn’t courageous— except in Tony’s case. He was born without a left forearm. After almost a decade of experimenting with different kinds of homemade apparatuses to hold the picks, he’s found a method that works for him, using duct tape and a cast that he re-creates every time he plays. What’s really remarkable, though, is that you don’t notice any difference in his music. Tony’s most recent CD, Here We Go, is marked by dogged optimism—“It’s about getting out there and following a dream… overcoming adversity in life, but also knowing that that’s not easy,” he says. Influenced by bands like the Counting Crows, Wilco, and the more pianobased Ben Folds, as well as by his Midwestern surroundings, Here We Go has a rich, full-band sound that best fits in with some of the power-pop of the late ‘90s. Tony’s voice is naturally deep and gravelly, but it’s soothing; even when using phrases like, “Lord knows we’ve got time,” there’s no judgment from his songs’ narrators, just gentle reminders. Above all, as intricate and interesting as the music is, it has a familiarity that’s addictive— it feels like music you should already know. In the refrain of “Helicopters and the Riot Squad,” Tony says, “Please let me say all that I came here to say.” This feels like more than just a narrative plea: it’s the desire that motivates the entire disk. — Katie Darby-Mullins To read more about Tony Memmel and other up-andcoming artists, visit KatieDarbyRecommends.com.

East Bay Ray And The Killer Smiles “Self-Titled” CD (MVD Audio) (3 stars)

East Bay Ray is the longtime guitarist from the Dead Kennedys, and his band (fronted by current DKs vocalist Skip Mcskipster) here team up with Butthole Surfers guitarist Paul Leary, who acts as producer. The results are strong and heavy on the punk tip, not surprisingly. “You’re Such A Fake”, for example, is a punk song at heart, with hints of rockabilly and surf, courtesy of Ray’s distinctive riffage. “Area 51” is a driving, up-tempo heavy attack, while “The Heart Is Something” is melodic, downtempo, and almost balladic, reminding me of Green Day. The boys will hate me for saying that, but it’s true. “It’s Broken” runs back to the more aggressive side, while “I’m A User” is classic-style melodic punk. This is a completely solid album, with superb production and plenty to offer for fans of classic punk rock. — Todd Zachritz


allthatjazz In Tune with Jeff Harmon Jazz

J

eff Harmon began his professional career playing trumpet at 16. He worked locally until entering the service during World War II. During that time, he began playing the upright bass. After the war, he played with many great artists, including Boots Randolph, Roger Pemberton, and Gary Burton. One of Jeff’s most memorable gigs was at the House of Como. What was supposed to be a week-long gig ultimately lasted 6 years. In fact, for the showroom and dance floor at the House of Como, Jeff Harmon Jazz (JHJ) was the hottest ticket in the town at the time. JHJ has been a working jazz band for more than 60 years. Although Jeff is currently playing the upright bass in the band, he also plays the trumpet and the valve trombone. Currently, JHJ features Jeff’s wife, Jane, on vocals. Jane’s persona is the perfect blend of sass and swing that is reminiscent of such greats as Keely Smith. Another long-time player with JHJ is drummer Pat Moore. Long known for his fine stick work and ever-present smile, Pat has been a fixture on the music scene for years. As the owner of Moore Music, Pat is highly regarded throughout the tri-state area, and local musicians often turn to him when they need the latest gear. The JHJ keyboardist is Red Wick. Red is known as one of most versatile pianists in the area. He is also renowned for his years of playing at the Petroleum Club. Indeed, his artistry has been recorded on several CDs, which shows just how talented truly he is. Paul E. Black also sits in with JHJ on vibes for the occasional event. For example, Paul has played with JHJ at the Jungle and the Jazz and Wine Fest. He will also be on stage at the WUEV fundraiser. Paul got his first set of vibes as a gift from his parents in 1960, and he still plays that same Jenco set today. Throughout his musical career, he has played with such greats as Gary Burton, Boots Randolph, and Stefan Scaggiari. The Evansville area will get another opportunity to hear this fine quintet on Saturday, October 8th, when WUEV 91.5 FM presents “An Evening of Jazz with the Stefan Scaggiari Trio.” The concert will also include Skeltons’ Montourage . It will be held at Eykamp Hall in the Ridgeway University Center on the campus of the University of Evansville.

HARD LUCK STORY

WHO: Shawn “Brown Dogg” BrownLead (Vocals & Cowbell), Miss Charley Ryan (Lead Vocals), Chris “Mighty White” Like (Vocals & Guitars), Chris Lewis (Bass), Shawn “DP” Dudasko (Drums & Percussion). ABOUT YOU: The idea for our band is to try and be a little different and if we have to play a cover staple, then at least do it our own way. Everyone has something unique to offer the group which helps to define our sound which is dance, baby! We love bringing the crowd into the band as the 6th member. We’ve even been known to bring the audience up on stage or take the band on to the dance floor with them. The group as a whole just wants to be that catalyst that turns an “OK” night out with your friends into a fantastic night you talk about for months! We strive to give that experience to our friends, fans and freaks (Friends, Fans and Freaks is the official title we have given to our followers. Which one are you?)

TRUNK OR TREAT

right orange, deep red, and golden yellow leaves offer irrefutable evidence that fall has arrived. Fall is synonymous with October and our thoughts turn to Halloween and TRUNK OR TREAT! Excitement abounds around the Bethel Temple Community Church campus as staff and volunteers eagerly prepare for 2011Trunk or Treat. Last year, attendance grew to more than 6,500 people.

News 4U talked with Family Pastor Dave Schwambach about the history, vision, and inspiration behind this outreach. “Each year, we continually strive to embrace our community and reach out to meet the needs of families throughout the Tri-State. Trunk or Treat began as a community outreach in 2001, [specifically] following 9/11, to meet a need at a time when many parents and the nation were fearful. Trunk or Treat is a safe, supervised, ‘no-fear’ annual event designed to provide a controlled, family-friendly environment for preschool and elementary children and their families.” All proceeds (exceeding expenses), are donated to the Evansville Christian Life Center and their efforts to help provide assistance to individuals throughout our community. You can purchase wristbands in advance at the following locations: • Bethel Temple Community Church • Benny’s Flooring • Buehler’s Buy-Low (Evansville) • Donut Bank • Gary’s Body Shop • Greek’s Pizzeria • Lefler’s Collision & Glass Repair • Lic’s Ice Cream and Deli • The Vineyard Christian Resource Center • Vitreo-Retinal Center 2011 Trunk or Treat is scheduled for October 31st, 2011, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. Shuttle buses to the event will run from 5:15 to 8:15 p.m. with pick-up and drop-off locations next to Big Lots and Lawndale on South Green River Road.

The Icemen practicing at Swonder. (...Article Continued From Page 7.) nicest arena I’ve ever played in and we’re excited to get it started. I think it’s going to be a fun year for everyone.” Kromm says the Ford Center will be able to seat 6,000 fans for hockey matches. A noticeable increase from the capacity at Swonder. The Icemen bench boss believes that with the quality of players on this season’s roster and the beautiful new setting for home matches, Evansville fans will be treated to a high quality hockey experience. Kromm and some of the Icemen players are excited about the upcoming season and are going out into the community to pull in the die-hard and even marginal hockey fans. “It’s just a matter of getting our name out into the community. Our players will be involved with all types of promotional events in the community. The more we can get them out there into the public, people get to know the players, they get to relate to them and get a little bit of a connection, it obviously helps us sell tickets. But it also helps us spread the game in this community.” The Icemen offer a variety of full season, half season and even mix and match ticket packages which dip as low as $10.00 per game. Fans can inquire about ticket packages and promotions by calling 812-421-GOAL (4625) or www.evansvilleicemen.com/ tickets. The puck drops for the first Icemen home match at the Ford Center versus the Fort Wayne Komets on November 5th. — Joel Easton Call for Advertising Information (812) 962-1309 • October 2011

OCTOBER 7

The Ides of March Sony Pictures In this political drama, an up-and-coming campaign press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself in the middle of a scandal that threatens his candidate’s (George Clooney) shot at the presidency. This movie takes place during the last days of a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary. Although the story is fictional, the setting might feel familiar in the current political climate.

OCTOBER 14 Footloose

Paramount Studios Footloose is a remake of the 1984 classic starring Kevin Bacon about a kid who takes on a whole town. After a tragic accident, the little town of Bomont decides to ban loud music and dancing— something that seems completely ridiculous to Ren MacCormack (Kenny Wormald), a Boston transplant. By challenging the rules, MacCormack helps the town to move past its grief. Meanwhile, he falls in love with Reverend Shaw Moore’s (Dennis Quaid) troubled daughter, Ariel (Julianne Hough).

The Big Year 20th Century Fox This comedy starring Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, and Jack Black follows three fanatical bird watchers as they compete to see the largest variety of birds. El Niño has sent an extraordinary number of rare species of birds to the United States, and they are each convinced that they will be the ones to spot the most. Throughout the contest, however, they find that there are more important things in life than winning.

OCTOBER 21

The Three Musketeers Summit Entertainment The classic story of the quick-to-anger D’Artagnan joining forces with three renegade Musketeers will be familiar in this movie, but it will be filled with new faces. Logan Lerman joins as D’Artagnan, and the rest of Dumas’s classic characters are played by Matthew MacFadyen, Luke Evans, and Ray Stevenson. They’ll still have to stop the evil Richlieu (Christopher Waltz) and take on Orlando Bloom’s Buckingham and Milla Jovovich’s Milady. As many updated action movies are, The Three Musketeers will be in 3-D.

OCTOBER 28

The Rum Diary FilmDistrict Based on Hunter S. Thompson’s debut novel, The Rum Diary tells the story of Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) and his desire to escape from what he sees as the oppressive noise and society of America. He travels to Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, but finds that he spends most of his time adapting to the alcohol and women on the island. Kemp meets another American, Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart), who is trying to use the island for his own capitalist gain, and Kemp also meets Sanderson’s fiancée, the beautiful Chenault (Amber Heard), and falls madly in love. Eventually, Sanderson recruits Kemp to write a favorable article about his latest scheme, leaving Kemp to decide whether to use his words for good or evil and forcing him to examine his own motives.

In Time 20th Century Fox This thriller, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, follows the story of Will Salas, who is falsely accused of murder. He lives in a society where time is money—literally. The wealthy have been enabled to live forever and the poor—like Will—are forced to beg, borrow, and steal minutes to make it through the day. — Katie Darby-Mullins

Last Night Gaumont

Last Night follows one night in the lives of Michael (Sam Worthington) and Joanna Reed (Keira Knightley), a happily married couple of seven years when, inexplicably, both are tempted by that proverbial itch. One night at a party Joanna notices husband Michael’s lavishing co-worker Laura (Eva Mendes) with a conspicuous and inappropriate measure of attention. They argue; they make-up. Everything seems right with the world, until Michael heads off on a business trip for the weekend with seductive Laura, leaving Joanna home alone with old-flame Alex (Guillaume Canet).

“Shallow without being fun or sexy, the picture The Review: is a well-meaning but ponderous bore.” While first-time director Massy Tadjedin practices so – Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express much restraint in Last Night, she squeezes the thrill right out of it. The cocktail party, cheek-kissing snoots are so stiff I’m shocked adultery even crosses their minds, and surely, when it does it’s only out of sheer boredom. Their reticence just seems English, cautious and prudent, rather than principled. So perhaps, what I view as tedious melodrama amounts to tantalizing foreplay to Ms. Tadjedin and her high-falutin’ ilk.

Paul Universal Pictures

“A refreshingly rollicking, sweetly raunchy comedy about a little green dude just trying to get home.” – Neil Pond, American Profile

Best friends, Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost), take an RV road trip to visit famous American locales of extraterrestrial sitings. But their trip is interrupted when they run into Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), a real-life alien who has recently escaped from a military base where he has been held captive for the past sixty years. Graeme’s and Clive’s notions of alien-life are challenged as they become acquainted with this strange and irreverent being. Now, on the run from federal agents, the three must reach Paul’s mother ship before time runs out, but not before developing a lasting bond that changes all their lives forever.

The Review: Essentially, Paul is part satire and part loving tribute to great science fiction films like E.T., Close Encounters, and Star Wars. Paul is primarily an adult affair, one that revels in its own playful crudeness. Kirsten Wiig is hilarious as the one-eyed religious zealot finally set free from her simplistic ways via a mind-meld with Paul. Her sudden eagerness to explore the once taboo worlds of profanity and casual sex, combined with her inexperience at both, make for some good laughs.

The Beaver Summit Entertainment Walter Black’s (Mel Gibson) life is falling apart. His wife Meredith (Jodie Foster, also director) has had it with his chronic self-loathing. His oldest son Porter (Anton Yelchin), facing the early signs of depression himself, avoids all contact with him, while his youngest son (Riley Thomas Stewart) suffers the brunt of both parent’s inattention. Then, one night after an unsuccessful suicide attempt, Walter discovers a beaver puppet in the dumpster. When he places it on his hand, the Beaver comes to life, offering Walter no-nonsense advice and a new chance at life. The Review: In The Beaver, alcoholism and depression provoke bizarre and disturbing behavior in Mel Gibson. No, this is not a documentary, though it’s likely Director Jodie Foster chose Gibson for the character of Walter Black, at least in part, due to his tabloid reputation. Gibson is perfect as the tortured Walter, evoking such quiet desperation in those troubled eyes; his pain is palpable. Unfortunately, the film suffers from such an uneven, confusing tone throughout, it fails to achieve the delicate balance between light and dark required of such films.

“With The Beaver, Gibson shows that for all his personal turmoil, he still may have a career in the twilight years.” – David Germain, Associated Press

The Conspirator American Film Company

“A solid, if tub-thumping, courtroom drama exploring a little-known chapter of US history.” – Daniel Edwards, Daily Mirror

Eight co-conspirators were captured in the days following Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Mary Surratt (Robin Wright) being the most controversial of the bunch. Surratt, a 42-year-old widow and mother of one of the accused, ran the boarding house where John Wilkes Booth (Toby Kebbell) and others met to plan the killings of the President, Vice-President and Secretary of State. Attorney Frederick Aiken (James McAvoy) is charged with the undesirable task of defending the publicly vilified Surratt. Against the urgings of friends and loved ones and in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds, he mounts a viable defense and exposes a government conspiracy to cover up the truth.

The Review: The story of Mary Surrat, mother of alleged co-conspirator John Surrat, has been obscured over the years by the more tantalizing drama of Lincoln’s assassination by John Wilkes Booth, and for that matter, so have the details of the larger conspiracy to kill the Vice President and Secretary of State. With such a stirring premise and renowned Director Robert Redford at the helm, the quality of the storytelling is beyond question. However, the film falters in its second half by repeatedly driving home the same point: that the individual often suffers when national security is at stake. Regardless, The Conspirator is a worthwhile choice for history buffs, though it may simply bore the layperson. — Brian Ricketts Call for Advertising Information (812) 962-1309 • October 2011

And, with the morning rain, it made the course even more challenging! Ropes, muddy hills, climbing walls and a mud pit challenged every fitness level. After the grueling work, a free beer and t-shirt greeted the winners along with food and live music. A portion of the day’s proceeds were donated to the local Boys and Girls Club.
