Theater and Classical Music are alive and thriving in Evansville! News 4U set a crew set out to explore the venues and what the upcoming season has to offer for their upcoming seasons. EVANSVILLE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

We began our entertainment tour with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra, where we had the opportunity to speak with conductor, Maestro Alfred Savia. “People who have heard our concerts know how unique and enjoyable they are; for those who have never attended, I would urge them to do so. A live performance is unlike anything you may have heard on the radio or internet. There is nothing like witnessing the excitement that is generated in a live performance, inside a concert hall, [and] the sound is amazing! As an accent to our theme ‘Celebrate the American Spirit,’ our classics series have at least one American inspired work, and each concerto features an American composer. Composers featured throughout our classic series include: Bernstein, Gershwin, Dvorak, Berlioz, Daugherty, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Herbert, Brahms, Rossini, Barber, Puccini, Mendelssohn, Copeland, Beck, and Mahler.”

UNIVERSITY OF EVANSVILLE THEATER

Our tour soon arrived at the University of Evansville, where we caught up with Marketing Director Sharla Cowden, who provided us with the following information about UE’s Theater Program and upcoming season. “The University of Evansville’s approach to theatre training is unique. As a department of theatre within a liberal arts and sciences university, the program allows students to gain the broad base of knowledge they will need as theatre artists. Each year, the faculty travels nationwide auditioning and interviewing nearly 1750 students for only 40 spots in the freshmen class. We limit our first year class to 40 students because we believe our program’s success is due to the small size of the department as well as the university.” “MASTER HAROLD”…AND THE BOYS Athol Fugard.

egendary basketball coach, Bob Knight, sat down with News 4U’s Joel Easton and talked about the nuts and bolts of winning a national championship, the state of college athletics and how preparing today’s students for the real world is more important than the game on the court.... Winning 902 games, three national championships, defeating 30 teams in one season four different times, winning a gold medal as well as winning a national championship as a player, would probably make a coach proud of their resume. However, none of these accomplishments rank at the top of legendary basketball coach Bob Knight’s list. Coach Knight began his career in major college basketball in 1965 as the head coach of the Army Black Knights. Coach Knight led his teams to four National Invitational Tournaments and racking up 105 wins against only 50 losses. In 1971, Coach Knight was hired as the head coach of Indiana University and after one season, led his team to the Final Four. During the 1974-75 season, Coach Knight’s Hoosiers went 34-1 losing only to national champion runner-up Kentucky in the regional finals. The next season, however, Coach Knight would lead the Hoosiers to a national championship and an undefeated season, the last major men’s college basketball team to do so. According to Coach Knight, however, the nuts and bolts of winning a national championship doesn’t begin and end with the head coach. “There are all kinds of coaches with different ideas and different philosophies that have won championships. I don’t think there’s any one idea. The exception (to winning a national championship) is having good players.” And Coach Knight has certainly taught some of the best players in college basketball history both as players and as coaches. Many of Coach Knight’s assistants have gone on to become Division I head coaches. A prominent former player at Army, Mike Krzyzewski, has gone on to be a very successful head coach at Duke University. Coach Knight won also won national championships in 1981, led by point guard Isaiah Thomas and in 1987 under the direction of Steve Alford and championship game hero Keith Smart. Coach Knight cited several significant differences in the style of play from his championship teams to today. “I have never been a proponent of the three point shot,” Coach stated. “A big fallacy among coaches has been their own, individual adoption of the three point shot. (Which is) at the expense of good offensive play, good movement, getting to the free-throw line, driving the ball to the basket, drawing fouls and working the clock to get good shots.” Coach Knight cited Indiana University’s national semi-final game against Nevada-Las Vegas in the 1987 tournament as a time when his coaching philosophy met with the emergence of the newly instituted three-point shot in major college basketball.

“What we were able to do, almost without exception, is to have those kids finish school and prepared to go to somebody for employment, having a college degree. And that to me, more than anything else we tried to do; or did do.”

Coach Knight By the Numbers

902 Games won 3 National championships 30 Teams defeated in a single season, four different times.

Three point shots IU executed to win the 1987 semi-final against UNLV

35 “Everyone was very much surprised that we ran with them. We decided we were going to play at their tempo and I think that enabled us to win the ball game.” “Nevada Las-Vegas shot 35 three’s that game and we shot four and we won the game. So I felt, in that way, we won through offensive maneuvering and screening and getting to the freethrow line against a team that was prett y well wedded to the three point shot,” Coach Knight recalled. In fact, the Hoosiers hit 21 free throws and shot 62 percent from the floor en route to the victory. Keith Smart went on to hit the game winning shot against Syracuse in one of the most thrilling championship game finals,

to earn Coach Knight his third National Championship. Coach Knight finished his head coaching career by taking over the Texas Tech University’s basketball program and orchestrated a 138-82 record. In his entire career, Coach Knight had only two losing seasons. A considerable accomplishment considering his career spanned over four decades. Coach Knight was able to have success in major men’s college basketball through his coaching philosophies, his attention to detail and his consistent approach to teaching each of his players the fundamentals of basketball.

here are currently over 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Chances are someone you know has already been affected by this disease. Breast cancer doesn’t just affect the men or woman diagnosed, however; it affects their friends and family, as well. It is for this reason that each September, Evansville turns pink with a sea of men and women all coming together for one thing: the hope for a cure to breast cancer. That’s the goal of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the organization’s biggest fundraiser, Race for the Cure. Races take place all over the country, and ours is coming September 24, 2011. Each year, the race grows bigger; the number of participants broke 15 thousand in 2010. Last year, these participants raised $806,580 for the Race for the Cure from corporate sponsorship, registration fees and donations. “Up to 75% of the funds stay here in our area, to fund grants throughout our service area to provide for breast health education programs, free or low-cost mammograms, diagnostic services and treatment for those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are either uninsured or underinsured,” explains Sheila Seiler, Executive Director of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Greater Evansville Affiliate. “Over the last 12 years, we have granted

out over $5.4 million to local organizations and over $1.2 million to national breast cancer research,” she says. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure hopes to reach four goals each year as a measure of its success, which exceeds a monetary amount, according to Seiler. “Our organization’s goals are to educate the Tri-State on the importance of good breast health practices, provide screening mammography for the uninsured or underinsured, provide diagnostic services for the uninsured or underinsured, and provide treatment for breast cancer for the uninsured or underinsured.” The expo area will open at 7:00 a.m., followed by the start of the Survivor Parade of Pink at 8:00 a.m.

At 9:00 a.m. the 5K race will start and will be followed by the One Mile Family Fun/Run Walk. We will have a special “Komen KidZone” area in the old McCurdy parking lot where kids can play games, decorate cookies and have lots of fun in an area just for them. There will be a “Team Tailgate” area across from the Old Post Office for teams to have a picture taken and start off the morning with coffee and bagels. Survivors will be able to visit the Pink Cap Café on the Old National Bank patio to get coffee and snacks, have a picture taken and just congregate and enjoy the morning. Photoville Photobooth will set up a booth in the Pink Cap Café for survivors, as well as in the Hilliard Lyons parking lot for race participants. Everyone will receive a complimentary picture, and extra pictures may be ordered online. Finally, Active Chiropractic will provide pain relief management for participants far past the finish line on Riverside Drive. The pre-registration price of $25 ends on September 23, but participants will still be able to register at the Wayne Henning Atrium in Old National Bank in Downtown Evansville on September 22 and September 23 from 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., as well as on Saturday, September 24, beginning at 6:30 am. The cost for adults at that time will be $30. Children are still only $15.

lison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, bring their Paper Airplane Summer Tour 2011 to The Centre/Aiken Theatre for one exciting evening, September 23, 2011: more indisputable proof that Evansville, Indiana continues to attract the best of the best in entertainment! Alison Krauss, born July 23, 1971, in Decatur, Illinois, is a gifted, multi-talented artist, evidenced by her collection of twenty-six Grammy Awards, more than any other female artist to date. She began her early training as a classical violin player, which paved the way for her career as a bluegrass/country singer, songwriter and phenomenal fiddle player. Krauss’s success, in addition to her musical talent, can be attributed to her uncanny ability to bridge traditional forms with contemporary, everyday topics. Her newest album release, in partnership with Union Station, Paper Airplane, is a collection of allnew recordings, and can be described as a musical masterpiece destined to reach the top of the charts. The songs included on the Paper Airplane album combine Krauss’s life experiences with the exceptional perception and songwriting talent of Robert Lee Castleman. The album also features fellow musicians: Jerry Douglas (Dobro, Lap steel, vocals); Dan Tyminski (guitar, mandolin, lead vocal); Ron Block (banjo guitar); and Barry Bales (bass, vocals).

People are in for a real treat.”

n addition, this concert features the remarkable musical talent of Jerry Douglas, also known as “Dobro’s matchless contemporary master,” as he has been affectionately referred to by The New York Times.

News 4U would like to extend a special thank you to Manager, Andrew Stokes, for arranging the following interview with Jerry Douglas.

N4U: Tell us a little about your childhood and family? JD: My father always had a bluegrass band when I was growing up in the steel valley of Northeastern Ohio. Now I realize how lucky I was to be hearing live music in my house, and to watch good musicians work out arrangements and improvise. My brother is a good upright bass player and my children have all been involved in music at one time or another. News 4U: Tell us about your background as a musician, particularly your specialty in the resonator/dobro? JD: I have been dragging around some sort of stringed instrument all my life, playing mandolin and learning fundamental chords and rhythm at age five. At age six, Santa brought me a Silvertone guitar and I received my first dobro at age seven. N4U: Tell us about your partnership with Alison Krauss and Union Station? JD: I met Alison before she made her first record with a band. She was a member of Union Station, formed by bass player and songwriter John Pennell. She was looking for a producer with Ken Irwin, who had just signed her to a contract with Rounder Records. I’ve since produced records for her and worked on most of them.

N4U: Have you been to Evansville, Indiana before? JD: I’ve been to Evansville several times, to play shows at the Executive Inn. I have many friends there in the land of John Cowan, Newgrass Revivalist and current Doobie Brother. N4U: What would you like readers to know about Jerry Douglas, in your own words? JD: I have a wonderful family both at home and on the road. I would have to admit I am proud of being honored by the National Endowment of the Arts as a National Fellow of the Traditional Arts and of all the Grammys. It is such a joy to be a musician and to make people happy or sad just by playing music; this is an unfathomable feeling and honor. It is a truly blessed life that I lead. — Tammie Tuley Alison Krauss and Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas, bring their Paper Airplane Summer Tour 2011 to The Centre on September 23, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets start at $47.50 + fees and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com, Schnuck’s West or 800-745-3000.

n today’s society, being “stressed out” is inevitable. In some cases, it’s a good thing: stress motivates people to imptrove their situation, be it at work, home, or in social situations. However, sometimes stress becomes harmful and begins to cause more problems than it solves. So how do you know when your stress level is too much? Jessica Zellers, the Coordinator of Health Education and Wellness Programs at the University of Evansville, explains it this way: “Some of the happiest events in someone’s life (going off to college, getting married, having children) can also be very stressful. The stress in these situations can encourage you to be at your very best, but too much stress for too long can really take a toll on a person.” The good news is that there are many ways to help decrease your stress level.

1. What’s causing the stress?

Examine your life and see what is causing the stress. Sometimes the answer is as easy as eliminating the stressor: however, in many cases, that’s not possible. Zellers says, “Is it an unhealthy relationship? Is your stress the result of taking on too many things in your professional or personal life? If you can make changes in these areas, do so. However, if you determine that your stress is just part of your ongoing, busy life, the place to start may be with the basics that we all know but often forget about or neglect.

2. Get some sleep!

See how you can work to improve your life from inside the stress. Zeller’s first suggestion is to think about your basic needs: are they being met?

16 | September 2011

• www.News4UOnline.com

“Get enough sleep! It’s harder for all of us to function when we’re not getting the sleep we need, and this is a particularly difficult challenge when we’re stressed. Sometimes it’s the ‘todo’ list that keeps us up at night, so try spending a couple of minutes before bed jotting down those stressful things, or items you want to remember for tomorrow, and then you can go to sleep without feeling like there are things you’ve forgotten. Sometimes we feel extra stress when we realize we’re going to be tired tomorrow because we’re not sleeping, then it’s even more difficult to fall asleep. If you’ve laid there for 30 minutes and you’re not asleep, get back up. Try to read or do another calming activity you enjoy (but don’t turn on your computer or TV!), then try again when you start to feel tired.”

Being healthy can reduce the stress. That can mean doing something as easy as consistently choosing healthy food options, or it can be a more comprehensive lifestyle change. Zeller says one way to improve stress is to begin exercising. “The best kind of exercise is going to be the kind that you enjoy, that will vary from person to person. Aerobic exercise (jogging, swimming, riding a bike) can help someone who’s stressed feel energized, calming exercise (yoga, etc.) can help reduce tension, as it slows breathing and heart rate, and can help muscles to relax,” she says. There is a scientific reason why exercise helps improve stressful situations: “Stress produces chemicals that make you feel edgy and tense, and exercise reduces those stress-related chemicals. It can reduce muscle tension and take your mind off problems,” says Zellers.

4. Make yourself a priority.

Exercise isn’t the only way to improve your quality of life; though sometimes

personal relationships can be stressful, they’re often a source of comfort and support during frustrating times. “It’s also important to think about trying to maintain balance in your life (time with friends and family, and also time to yourself; time for work and time for play!), ” says Zellers. It’s important to surround yourself with people who will listen and be supportive, but it’s also important to make time for your own interests and hobbies.”

5. Recognize when you need help. If you are in a situation that is causing unavoidable, long-term stress, you may need someone else’s help. “Sometimes it’s easy to look at your current situation and say, ‘Of course I’m stressed!’ but it is important to ask yourself whether you can see an end in sight to that particular situation,” says Zellers. “It’s a good idea to speak to a counselor if you feel like your stress is getting in the way of your personal or professional goals, or you’re afraid that it soon could. Counselors are

trained to explore some of the reasons for your stress and help you determine ways to make positive changes in your life.” Everyone deals with stress at some point in their life, and it’s good to have a toolbox full of healthy ways to cope. But it’s also important to know what to do when a friend is exhibiting signs of stress. Zellers says, “If you have a friend who’s stressed, remember that you can’t always fix it for them (and oftentimes they don’t want you to!) Sometimes it’s enough just to be there to listen to the friend and let them know that you care and you’re pulling for them.” Hopefully these strategies and a little support from friends and family will lead to a less stressful Fall! — Katie Darby Mullins

It’s Par ty Time – A Housewarming Par ty...That Is!

in sid e

hether you have finally moved into a new home or are sitting back HOUSEWARMING and enjoying your remodeling • Determine the date/time that best efforts, the time to celebrate has arrived.

To celebrate, it is time to P-A-R-T-Y at a housewarming party, of course! These days, hosting a housewarming party is a chic, practical, and fun way to share this exciting time with family and friends. The etiquette for this situation is clear; it is acceptable to throw a housewarming party for yourself or have family and friends host one for you. Now for the obvious question: “How do I put together a great housewarming party?” We are glad you asked. To answer this question, we consulted an expert in the field of event planning. News 4U sought advice from B. Lyn Morehead, owner of BLM Events. She graciously offered to share a few tips with our readers to help them throw a successful housewarming party.

Don’t forget the TOUR! 18 | September 2011

PARTY TIPS

fits with your schedule. • Make a budget to includes food, beverages, and, if applicable, gift bags, door prizes or small gifts for all attendees. • Determine the number of guests • Determine if the party will be held as an “open house” or will the invitations specify a specific start and end time. Send invitations at least B. Lyn Morehead three weeks in advance. This will of BLM Events allow guests enough time to make the necessary arrangements to attend. • Determine your chosen food style from buffet, sit-down dinner, an outdoor barbeque, or just simply serving appetizers or finger foods. This is your party; therefore, choose your preference. If you choose appetizers or finger foods, make sure that you offer a variety of choices and allow at least two or three servings per person. Regardless of the choice of food style, remember to consider your budget and the number of guests that you have invited. • Set a beginning and ending time for your party. A Saturday brunch or early afternoon is usually a great time to host a housewarming party. Should you opt for a Sunday event, an afternoon is advised in order to accommodate any of your guests who may want to attend morning church services. • Door prizes and games are sometimes incorporated into a housewarming party. Other ideas include offering a small gift as a token of appreciation for attending. Again, this is optional. • Don’t forget the TOUR! Guests expect and want to see your home. This tour can be self-guided, or you, your spouse, or a trusted friend or family member can conduct tours. • Last but not least, when you decide to have your housewarming party, don’t stress; enjoy! Purchasing a home is such a wonderful time in your life. Keep in mind that you are inviting your family and friends over to celebrate the home that you were blessed to be able to purchase or remodel. — Tammie Tuley

O u t sid e The Science Behind Gardening

here are many reasons to garden: it has a positive environmental impact, helps the gardener and family to eat more healthily, and it’s fun. However, it’s not always easy to get started. While traditional backyard gardens are plots of land lined with plants and vegetables, there are many different ways to participate in gardening, even if you have limited space and resources. Larry Caplan, a Horticulture Educator at the Purdue Extension Service for Vanderburgh County, said, “Gardening is not rocket science, but there IS some science behind it.” He offers many helpful tips on how to get your own personal garden up and going.

1. Educate yourself.

Larry Caplan,

a Horticulture Educator at the Purdue Extension Service for Vanderburgh County

First, Caplan said that gardening, while partially intuitive, is a lot easier if you go in prepared and ready for the southern Indiana terrain. Of the soil, Caplan said, “Most of the soils in southern Indiana are poorly drained, and have lots of clay. These need to be amended by adding large amounts of organic matter to them. Compost, manure, peat moss, shredded leaves, or any other plant-based product will work fine.” He went on to say, “The Purdue Extension service has a wide variety of free literature on just about all aspects of gardening and pest control.”

2. Be aware of what kind of garden you want to grow.

There are many different kinds of gardens: you can plant flowers, vegetables, or herbs. Flowers: Caplan said that perennials are the best investment for gardeners in the Tristate. “You plant them once and they come back year after year. They’ll need to be dug up and divided every three to five years, but that’s better than planting annuals every spring! Vegetables: Planting vegetables is a fun, healthy way to be involved in your meals, but it can be intimidating. Some vegetables that you can plant even beginning in the fall include beets, cabbage, collards, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, mustard, peas, radish, spinach, and turnips.

“If you don’t have a backyard, there are still ways that you can have a beautiful garden—container gardening, or gardening in large tubs and pots, has become popular, and for good reason.” Herbs: If you don’t have much time or space, for the most part, an herb garden is the natural choice. “Herb gardens can be grown much the same as flowers or vegetables, with the difference being that they don’t need as much care,” said Caplan. “They actually produce more aromatic oils (the stuff that gives herbs their scent and flavor) if they are not overfertilized. The secret to herbs is to properly label the plants, so you know what you are harvesting,” he said, but cautioned, “Be sure to read up on them before planting them! Some herbs, like mint, are very aggressive spreaders, and will take over the garden if they are not contained.”

3. But what if I don’t have the space for a garden? If you don’t have a backyard, there are still ways that you can have a beautiful garden—container gardening, or gardening in large tubs and pots, has become popular, and for good reason. Caplan said, “Container gardening is a great technique for people with little or no yard space. It allows people to bring the garden closer to the house.” He went on to say that this kind of gardening can benefit people who have a difficult time bending down and working on their knees in their gardens. Things to remember when starting a container garden: “A container garden can be planted in anything that holds soil. The key is to be sure that there are drainage holes on the bottom, so that excess water can drain away. Otherwise, you will face root rot. The larger the pot, the better the plants will grow, especially vegetables. Containers located in hot, sunny areas dry out fast, and should be checked two or three times every day to see if they need to be watered,” said Caplan.

4. Educate yourself.

This step might look familiar—it’s also step 1! But if you find yourself enjoying your do-it-yourself garden, the best way to ensure that your plants continue improving and prospering is to enroll in a class. Master Gardener classes are offered through the Purdue Extension. If you’re interested in becoming a Master Gardener, call the Purdue Extension Services at (812) 435-5287. — Katie Darby Mullins Call for Advertising Information (812) 962-1309 • September 2011

HOME | Sleep Tight...Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite

he return to school signals the beginning of long days, nights and travell to support your sports team, marching band or academic bowl scholar. Whether you’re equipped with logo-laden riser seats and pennants to root for your favorite team, tuba player or brainiac, hotel stays are a given – and unfortunately so are bed bugs.

In order to prevent these stow-a-way pests from hitching a ride to your home via luggage, sleeping bags or clothing, vigilant inspection is required. These menacing parasites are prevalent in hotels, dorms and yes, even schools. They can also be found in airports, apartment complexes, theaters, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, daycares, jails, restaurants, stores and residential homes. Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs are not contained to beds and have been known to travel up to ten or more feet to feed before returning to their hideout. Bed bug infestations have reached epidemic proportions throughout the country, in part due to the increase in international travel. News 4U spoke with Chad Bailey, a police K-9 handler and owner of K-9 Detection Services, LLC about the increase in bed bugs, as well as how to look for, prevent, and eradicate these insects.

Bed bugs (Cimex lecturlarius) are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. They are reddish-brown, wingless, and about the size of Lincoln’s head on a penny. They have five stages of life and can live several months without a meal; nymphs are almost transparent until their first blood meal. A bed bug bite injects an anisette which Chad and Rex prevents the ability to immediately feel the bite, and can leave big itchy whelts. Bed bugs have not “officially” been linked to transmitted diseases, although scientists have discovered that they do carry the dreaded MRSA infection. More testing is underway to determine whether bed bugs can actually transmit this infection to humans. Current discussions are ongoing regarding incorporation of K-9 Detection Services into area schools and universities. Hotels are notorious for bed bugs, so please inspect rooms thoroughly; should you find bed bugs in a hotel, immediately report it to management. Spotting bed bugs can be challenging, as they are difficult to see and are good at hiding. When traveling, look for spotting on seams of mattresses and behind headboards, as bed bugs leave behind dotted dark fecal matter. To prevent an infestation in your home, reduce clutter, and upon return from travel, wash and dry items on high heat. If bed bugs are found, contact a trained pest control specialist for treatment. Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite: it’s not just a saying anymore, so be on your guard. — Tammie Tuley K-9 Detection Services, LLC was founded to provide peace of mind as an unbiased asset for the public, and does not treat for bed bugs. K-9 Detection Services, LLC uses a canine in common areas where bed bugs live, breed and cause infestations.

beauty

ho says you can’t turn back the hands of time? Well, maybe you can’t – yet – but it seems that you can turn back the effects of aging with a natural skin rejuvenation and anti-aging process called Red Light Therapy. News 4U discovered that Let’s Get Tan provides Red Light Therapy in their salon, so we asked owner, Sherri Tosti, to explain to our readers how Red Light Therapy works, and the benefits associated with this treatment. Red Light Therapy is unrelated to UV tanning and will not produce a tan. However, studies have concluded that repeated exposure to Red Light Therapy can help stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. Red Light Therapy is a safe, all-natural process that promotes collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin tone and texture, increase moisture retention and circulation, control pigmentation spots while reducing wrinkles, dark circles, acne and helping to eliminate fine lines. Red Light Therapy is not a quick fix and does require time for results to become evident. For this reason, Let’s Get Tan is offering an introductory price of three months unlimited use for $99 to allow our customers to take advantage of this innovative treatment. Red Light Therapy is safe for daily use and the only side effect that has been reported is an overall feeling of well being--not such a bad side effect! Let’s Get Tan also offers: Fit Body Wrap Body Wrap technology was originally designed as a treatment for arthritis pain and a number of other ailments; however, during testing, observations were noted that patients were losing weight. Body Wraps accelerate weight loss through the use of infrared heat and the Fit Body Wrap burns 1000’s of calories per 60 minute session. Other benefits include: superior cardiovascular power, smoother cellulite, faster metabolism, body detoxification of chemicals and impurities, skin tone and elasticity improvement, and reduced pain and stress.

Testimonial: “I signed up for the three month plan of Red Light Treatment at Let’s Get Tan, visiting 3-5 times per week. After one month, I can tell a remarkable difference in my energy level. After my first treatment, feeling refreshed and revitalized; I went home and cleaned my whole house! It’s a great relaxing way to end my work day. My skin feels softer and several scars are noticeably fading away! I would recommend the treatment to everyone and can’t wait to see the results after 3 months.” — Susan Caufield

Our salon is Smart Tan & Sunless certified, and all sales staff complete course work and pass testing for certification. Studies have shown that indoor tanning clients have higher Vitamin D blood levels than non-tanners and that moderate, non-burning UV exposure is the best, more reliable way to make Vitamin D. Let’s Get Tan is dedicated to promoting a skin care environment. — Tammie Tuley Please log on to News4UOnline.com to read more about Let’s Get Tan and their Seven Levels of Tanning.

MONEY | Are You Playing Financial Roulette with Your Checking Account?

e all remember the old adage about presuming to “assume”; yet, everyday, thousands of people play financial roulette by “assuming” they can retrieve accurate checking account balance information by means of ATM, TouchTone or Online Banking access.

Advanced technology has somewhat permeated our thinking by replacing common sense with automated convenience. While these tools are extremely valuable, they were never designed or intended to serve as a substitute for personal account responsibility. Opening a checking account is easy. A valid, government-issued picture ID, like a driver’s license or stateissued ID, is all that is required. Financial institutes offer a variety of accounts, ranging from interest-bearing to feecharged and fee-free accounts. A representative from your respective financial institute can help you select the account that best fits your lifestyle.

Old National Bank offers an online tutorial, How to Balance your Checkbook. This tutorial is available on Old National’s website, OldNational.com; click “customer service”, then “games and tutorials”. News 4U spoke with several individuals (unnamed by request) who admitted that they rarely, if ever, actually balance their accounts and do so depending upon “what the bank says.” We then sought a professional opinion about whether or not the perceived “old-fashioned” way of balancing a checkbook was really necessary. Old National Bank, Lakeside Commons Branch Assistant Manager and checking account expert Amanda Rust spoke to News 4U about the accuracy of relying upon this technology.

Although ATM’s, Online Banking and TouchTone Banking provide convenient 24/7 access to your account and enable you to make transactions or verify deposits, we still recommend the method of balancing your checkbook using your register, to ensure accurate account balances and help identify unauthorized transactions. For those who may not be familiar with how to balance a checkbook or who have forgotten, Old National Bank offers an online tutorial, How to Balance your Checkbook. This tutorial is available on Old National’s website, OldNational.com; click “customer service”, then “games and tutorials”. Balancing your checkbook can save you time and money by helping avoid costly overdraft fees. Listed below are a few tips to help prevent overdrawing your account: • Keep a checkbook register • List all debit card transactions • Understand that some merchants (particularly gas stations and hotels) often place large holds on debit cards, which can result in your card being declined when you attempt to make another purchase • Never play “beat the bank” when writing checks. Merchants often run checks electronically, which pulls the money out of the account immediately • Remember to account for authorized automatic deductions • Checks that have not cleared will not be deducted from an automated balance Most banks do offer overdraft protection, as well as courtesy services; however, these benefits may be feeprovided services, so it is best to check with your individual financial institute for specifics. Financial accountability is the responsibility of the account holder. A checking account is not an entitlement but a privilege that can potentially be revoked. Don’t presume to assume……especially when it is so easy to KNOW! — Tammie Tuley

HOMEGROWN MUSIC FESTIVAL

hen I first met Joe and Nichole Engelbrecht of Joe’s Fourth Generation Orchard, we shared an immediate kinship based on our passion for food and our distinct penchant for supporting the local economy. This desire to see our choices inﬂuence and benefit the greater good of the Evansville area is what has brought us closer together and has driven the Engelbrechts to create an annual festival that they host at the orchard. Scheduled for September 30 th through October 2nd this year, Joe’s Homegrown Music Festival is only in its second year, but the growth from the first year to the second year is quite noticeable. According to Joe, the motivation for this event lies in the people of Evansville; “I hear people complain about a lack of things to do in Evansville. We wanted to give people a weekend to look forward to, while also showcasing some of our favorite things

that the Tri-state region has to offer!” Expanding to a full weekend, over 15 local and regional bands and musicians will take to the 2 stages at the orchard. The music starts on Friday night at 7pm and lasts for a full day and a half! With many genres, including jazz, bluegrass, rock, dubstep, and electric, you’ll find enough music to satisfy you throughout the entire day. You can check out the full artist roster at joeshomegrownfest.com. Additionally, patrons and fest-goers won’t have to worry about leaving the fun behind at night since camping at the orchard is included in the ticket price. In addition to the wide variety of music that is sure to please, Joe’s Homegrown Festival will also feature several booths selling artisan goods, including art vendors, book binding from Bound to Be Around, henna tattoos, and even feather extensions! The Engelbrechts have also brought in several food vendors to entice the culinary delights of festival goers. From Vecchio’s in Newburgh to Acropolis from Evansville, you can be certain that no palate will go unsatisfied. Nichole has also shared a little secret with me; Jeanne’s Gelato will be using fruit grown on the orchard to make batches of their truly local heavenly sweets!

Lamasco’s will be featuring a cash bar all weekend and brunch on Sunday! Nichole has arranged for an on-site ATM for the weekend for convenient cash draws.

Heady’s Pizza

4120 North First Avenue • Evansville, IN (812) 437-4343

eady’s Pizza has been an Evansville cult favorite for five years... but the first four were under the name MunCheeze Pizza.

“When we decided to do away with the bar and the liquor license,” said owner Rachel Shelton, “we wanted a fresh start. So, we changed locations and changed the name but kept the same food.” The same great food, we might add, including the super-popular Blah-Blah, Heady’s most requested combination of grilled chicken, smoky bacon, onion, and tomato with ranch BBQ sauce - you choose it as a pizza or sub. “It’s so popular, I think, because it’s just different,” said Shelton. “You bite into it expecting pizza, and it’s not ... it’s got the great BBQ ranch base.” I stopped in with friends on a recent weeknight and was pleasantly surprised by the size of the menu. Although most of Heady’s business is carry-out and delivery (they deliver orders of $20 or more city-wide every day from 4 p.m. – 2 a.m.) the menu was extensive. Appetizers included bread sticks and garlic cheese bread, hot wings, and loaded nachos. There were salads; hot sub sandwiches, such as the Philly steak and cheese made with beef filet; pastas and lasagnas; dessert; and of course, pizza. We started with a garden salad with grilled chicken (the $9.99 large size was huge). All the

vegetables were very crisp and fresh. It contained iceberg lettuce, tomato slices, black and green olives, red onion, green peppers, mushrooms, shredded cheese, and croutons. Next up was an order of hot wings (10 for $7.99). The large, meaty wings were fried in a light flour coatingjust enough to make the skin nice and crispy and not so thick as to get soggy in the hot sauce, which was poured over and the wings baked until the sauce soaked in. Wings can be ordered with BBQ sauce or mild, hot, or spicy garlic sauces, or they can be ordered plain. Finally, we chose a good old-fashioned combo pizza ($15.99 for a 14-inch) with pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, mushroom (fresh not canned, thank you), and onion. Everything was buried under a blanket of Heady’s gooey cheese, atop a crust that was thin but soft. The flavor was very good, and I appreciated that the sauce was not overwhelming or too sweet. Pizza offerings on the wild side include the super-supreme, with 15 toppings; the buffalo, with crispy chicken and a ranch and hot sauce base; ranch Hawaiian; and fajita, with a nacho cheese base. Heady’s isn’t cheap fast food. Pizzas range from $14 - $26 for a 14-inch, pasta entrees are $9.99, and subs are $5.99 for a 6-inch and $9.99 for a 12-inch. It’s not too much to ask. The ingredients are fresh and of good quality, and the portions are large, and everything we sampled was delicious. I look forward to trying more of Heady’s offerings. — Aimee Blume

Heady’s Pizza is open from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m. daily and offers citywide delivery on orders of $20 or more. Call (812) 437-4343, or drop into Heady’s north side location at 4120 North First Ave, in front of Target, facing DQ. 26 | September 2011

Wolf’s Bar-B-Q

food

localchefspotlight n Evansville, the name Wolf has one major food connotation – and that’s barbeque. Nicholas Wolf Sr. opened the north-side smokehouse in 1925, so Evansville diners have enjoyed the cuisine there for nearly a century. Today Nicholas’ grandchildren Kim Wolf and Chef Terry Wolf operate the much-expanded Wolf’s Bar-B-Q. Terry didn’t enter the company until 1979, after he had explored other career avenues. “When I left high school I went into the automotive field,” he said. “I opened a repair shop and had my own business. Then in 1979 my father asked if I wanted to come in to the restaurant business with my sister and two other brothers.” It worked out, and Wolf’s true passion was born. “At that time we had a route salesman who belonged to the American Culinary Federation,” he said. “I got really involved in it, took required classes at Vincennes University and Ivy Tech, and eventually became a Certified Executive Chef.” As a matter of fact, he went on to become the president of the American Culinary Federation’s local chapter for two years and was voted Chef of the Year by the Tri-state Chefs and Cooks Association. Wolf’s experience goes far beyond the barbeque pit. Through the ACF, he’s had the opportunity to take numerous

food-related trips and study with masters of the trade, including the famous Creole Chef Paul Prudhomme. Although Wolf’s serves primarily barbeque, Wolf takes many opportunities to add or feature new items: chilled shrimp and crabmeat cocktails served in martini glasses for the Mothers’ Day buffet; a speciallybreaded basa catfish entree for the Lenten season; house-made smoked salmon dip; beautiful hand-carved melon and vegetable decorations. And he’s in the restaurant just about every day, processing the meat, deboning pork butts, developing recipes, and generally taking care of business. These days, Wolf is also giving the benefit of his experience to others by teaching seminars and continuing education classes on barbeque through Ivy Tech; also, he and sister Kim have recently opened Highland Pizza Shop in the building next door to the barbeque restaurant. “All the sauce recipes we developed, and the pizza crust is homemade,” he said. “It took us about 6 months of working on it before we were happy with the recipe. The pizza business has been open for a little over a year, and it’s been very successful.” “I don’t know that there’s any big secret to our success and longevity,” he said. “Our goal is to always have consistent quality products. Much like anyone else over the years we’ve tried to incorporate many things, but we’ve found our niche. “As far as the chef end of it,” said Wolf, “I do it because I like it. I don’t think there’s anything more exciting than creating a dish that makes people go ‘Wow!’ when you serve it.” — Aimee Blume Check out Terry’s cuisine at Wolf’s Bar-B-Q located at 6600 N.

VHs Fido WAlK, RoCK & RUn Fest

he Vanderburgh Humane Society has been “handing a lending paw” to animals across the Tristate area for more than 50 years; so it’s no surprise that their ninth annual VHS Fido Walk, Rock & Run Fest will help further their mission of helping over 4,600 cats and dogs find food, shelter, and care. Sydney Long, VHS Public Relations Coordinator, describes the event as more than just a fun walk; there are also many activities that will be going on all throughout the day. “It’s a one mile pledge walk and five mile run, but we also have live local bands that come play music. We fire up our fall festival booth, we have a Beer Garden — it’s a nighttime event! We also have an all-American dog show and a lot of people dress up their animal in a costume. We invite vendors that carry animal related products and set up a vendor space where they can hand out business cards or sell some of their merchandise. We have face painting for the kids, and we try and make it a family event.” They will also be microchipping pets, and there will be plenty of places for your furry friends to roam around and explore. Held from 5 p.m. through 11 p.m. on September 17th, the Fido Walk, Rock & Run will be held at 400 Millner Industrial Drive at the corner of Morgan Avenue and Read Street, two blocks west of Bosse Field (near Garvin Park). Early registration will be held all the way up through the evening of September 16th. The minimum pledge amount for an individual to participate in the walk is $20, with varying prizes and rewards for meeting other pledge levels. In addition to all of the family— and pet— friendly events and booths, there will also be a Fido 2K Fetch, which is, at its most basic level, a lottery. You can purchase one of 250 tennis balls for $10 in advance of the Fun Walk, and then during the event, a shelter dog will be allowed to “pick” one of the numbered balls as they are dumped into the dog yard — and whoever has their ball picked will win $500. Overall, the event has two goals: to raise money for the shelter and to make people think about their pets. Long says, “It’s a great way for us to really work towards promoting our big goal, which is to promote the humananimal bond.” — Katie Darby Mullins

he Haynie’s Corner Art Festival is back for its ninth year. With more than 100 booths, it promises to be a fun weekend for both artists and art lovers. Held during the last weekend of September in the beautiful Haynie’s Corner, the festival draws fans and artists of all ages; there is plenty to do and to look at. Artists come from all over the Midwest and, in some cases, even further. This year, Jamie Morris, festival organizer, said that some artists have come from as far away as the Southwest to share their creations. “The event started 9 years ago with about 18 total booths. We now have 100 booth spaces and a food court. We also have more artists coming from other states including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois and as far away as Arizona and Montana,” says Morris. The festival is run by Funk in the City volunteers. They help to make the whole weekend special; however, that’s not the only thing they are interested in. They’re hoping, with the help of the Haynie’s Corner Art Festival, to help fund their program Art @ The Club with their partners, the Boys and Girls Club of America, three times a year. Morris says, “We conducted the pilot program this summer with local artist Cynthia Watson as the instructor. Art @ The Club is a 9-week program that takes the participants from sketching to watercolors and finishes with acrylics.” The price of admission is $5 for adults, and kids are welcome free of charge. Though all of the booths invite children to enjoy the art with their family, there are a few booths that also focus on art for kids as well. Morris says that the atmosphere at Haynie’s Corner is something special during the festival— “I always get very excited to see all of the new art and the wide variety of art displayed. There is truly something for everyone! I also enjoy watching the whole day take shape, from the artists setting up to seeing the streets filled with people shopping and appreciating fine art. There is a special atmosphere and mood created that is unique!” — Katie Mullins Darby

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.

Alexander Keith’s Nova Scotia-Style Lager

Boddington’s Pub Ale (Luton, England)

Victory Sumer Love (Downingtown, PA)

(St. Louis, MO)

Jabez Martinez – 3.0 Jabez Martinez – 4.0

This beer poured an amber color with a big head. I could smell the malt grains. It had a light fruity flavor with some sweet malts, but it was well-balanced. It was not a bitter beer, which I expected. I liked this one a lot and will buy it again. It was very easy to drink.

Amanda Smith – 4.0

I am a fan of lagers and this one does not disappoint. The combination of warm, caramel undertones with a brightness of smooth citrus is pleasing on the palette and easy to enjoy. The malt in this beer was pronounced, but smooth. I would keep this in my beer fridge in the garage.

Todd Zachritz- 2.0

It pours a clean yellow-amber with a modest foam and delicate lace. It’s malty sweet on the nose, kinda corny, even. Not a great start. The taste is sweet, with a caramel-honey vibe. There’s no complexity whatsoever here, and I found this one-dimensional, offbalance, and needing to be fine-tuned. No, thanks.

I had high hopes for this beer, but it sort of let me down. It was a clear copper beer, but it had one of those nitrogen pellets in it, like a Guinness. It had a very grainy aroma, but nothing great that stuck out. The flavor was like the scent, grains with a little hops. I was hoping for more, but this was just an average ale.

This isn’t good and it isn’t bad, it’s just…there. There is nothing notable about this beer. The texture is somewhat smooth and the head nicely creamy. And, it has directions on the can. If I have to have an instruction manual to drink my beer, I’m already a skeptic.

Todd Zachritz - 1.0

This “draughtflow system” pint can pours with a huge head of quicklydissipating bubbles and no lace. The nose is sweet and even a bit toastlike. Flavor is mild all the way, and even watery. I’ll give it points for being “creamy” and “smooth,” yes, but this beer has little character or body. Thin and uninteresting, this is one to avoid.

Todd Zachritz - 4.5

This nice, clean, golden ale immediately invites with a rich head of fine white foam and spotty lace on the glass. The aroma? Crisp and delightful, with plenty of fresh citrus hops and even a trace of fruit. I get more of the hoppiness in the taste, but this one isn’t bitter or harsh at all. There seems to be hints of citrus and even apricot in there. It’s a delicious and palate-pleasing summer brew with tons of nuance and flavor, all the while remaining light and drinkable. Winner!

Jabez Martinez – 4.0

This is a golden straw-colored beer with good carbonation. It did have a large grassy aroma with another scent that I couldn’t place. It was just odd. I did like the creamy flavors of spices and fruits with a dry finish. Except for the odd scent, I did enjoy this beer.

Amanda Smith – 3.0

This beer has an aroma that is especially nice and fitting of the name “Summer Love,” conjuring up images of a lay summer day. It is a vibrant yellow and is, per my liking, excessively hoppy but very well-spiced. It is on the thin side, so it’s perfect for those warm-weather beer enthusiasts.

Rivertown Hop Bomber Pale (Lockland, OH)

out the hops and suppresses the bitterness. This one’s a sturdy, wellbalanced, and very enjoyable ale.

Jabez Martinez - 3.5

This beer has a copper color with a bunch of foam. It smells a little fruity with some spices. I could also taste some spices and a nice hop flavor. It was a little bit average, but had a nice, dry finish. It did have some bitterness to it but nothing like a regular IPA.

Amanda Smith – 3.6 Todd Zachritz- 4.0

This attractive pale ale pours a clean amber in my glass, with a thick head of bone-white foam. Decent spoke-style lacing. Olfactory-pleasing, with touches of pine and orange. The taste is mild, but distinctive and full of character. I get some citrus hops notes up front, with mostly orange peel, followed up with a malty backbone that smoothes

First off—I’m pleasantly surprised. I thought I was going to be knocked over with a raw hop taste judging from the name. But, as much as I searched, the bitterness takes a back seat to the carbonation, pine and zesty orange. Well-balanced. Maybe not a homerun, but as a new offering from a new brewery, it’s at least a double, looking for three.

What is Session Beer?

A: Session drinking is a chiefly British term that refers to drinking a large quantity of beer during a “session” (i.e. a specific period of time) without becoming intoxicated. A session is generally a social occasion and the beer is typically of lower alcohol content. In the United States, a recent session beer definition has been proposed by beer writer Lew Bryson. His Session Beer Project blog includes a definition of 4.5% ABV or less for session beer. Followers of this definition include Notch Brewing, a session only beer brand. The Brewer Association has adopted a new category within their Great American Beer Fest competition which states a “session beer” is from 4.0%-5.1% ABV. — Complied by J.Watson, Liquor Locker - Weinbach

f all the celebrations, festivals and spots we travel where people imbibe, Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans may be the best. There is truly a “tale” in every tasting room, party, seminar and event. Plus, I interview a former porn star who now promotes a rum that you can watch on BourbonBlog.com, more on that in a moment. Imagine most every spirit brand from Bourbon to Scotch. From names that have quenched thirsts on the planet for several hundreds of years to a new Bourbon from Colorado. It is BourbonBlog.com, so let’s start there. Welcome to Breckenridge, Colorado, which allows us escape from Kentucky to get high with our Bourbon friends from the “The World’s Highest Distillery” Breckenridge Distillery (based at 9600 feet above sea level). They’re one of the featured spirits at the Craft Distillers Tasting event in the Hotel Monteleone during Tales. We start by reviewing their Breckenridge Vodka, which is a cut above almost every new vodka I’ve tasted lately. It is made from natural snow-melt, drained through acres of mineral rich soil and stone from 14,000 ft elevation. Their vodka is full of flavor for simply just being an unflavored vodka and their Breckenridge Colorado Bourbon is bold but smooth. I’ll now throw a familiar brand at you..BACARDI. But just now a shot of BACARDI or a tasting, we’re headed from the Craft Distilling event the BACARDI Piña Colada Cocktail Competition down the street. The US Bartenders Build has brought together some of the nation’s finest mixologists to see what new and classic twists they can put on the Colada. I sample creations with Thai spices, and even Cognac added to the Piña Colada. Do I love my job? Fast forward to the next day and a pool party atop the Hotel Monteleone sponsored by Brugal Rum. Brugal is making a large push in the U.S

now and is even available locally here in the Tri-State. Brugal is the #1 Rum in the Caribbean and I can see why with their triumphant and balanced flavors in all their expressions. Today they’re releasing the new 1888 Rum which has been finished for two years in same sherry oak casks used to age MacCallan Scotch... Beware: Mixing these kind of flavors with dangerous experimental in the barrel often leads to the birth of genius flavor! Believe it or not, I have room for some Four Roses Bourbon after the pool party. Two first ever’s from Four Roses happen in this tasting room. The first is the chance to sample all ten of the Four Roses unique recipes at barrel proof. The only other time this opportunity is presented is during the Four Roses Private Barrel Selections. Watch the video and you’ll see the review. I top this day off with an interview with Ron Jeremy who now has Ron de Jeremy Rum. “Ron” means “rum” in Spanish. We discuss what you might expect including sex and Rum, which is full of laughs and flavor. Watch on BourbonBlog.com. To bring things back to Indiana and a farewell for this article and for our time at Tales of the Cocktail. I attend a Hoosier Momma Bloody Mary Mix Brunch before we hit the road. What a catchy name and a mix that doesn’t taste like a mix. Add vodka and you’ll never buy any of those standard mixes again! It is all in one place where you can drink with us virtually 24/7, or sip as you watch on BourbonBlog.com — Tom Fisher

ootball is back! And for my fellow fantasy football team owners, it’s ti me to get down to the business of preparing for the perfect draft . As we all know, perfect drafts are about as easy to come by as buckets of unicorn tears.

Before you start crunching last year’s statistics and pour over pages of projections, it’s important to analyze your league. The number of owners in your league determines how much talent is spread around. Next, where you fall in the draft order can significantly influence who you choose and when. The most important key to your draft this year is going to be: patience. After running a number of mock drafts, there is a general trend of taking running backs early and taking solid, proven performers. Adrian Peterson (Minnesota), Arian Foster (Houston), Jamaal Charles (Kansas City) and Chris Johnson (Tennessee) are probably going to be the first four players to go off the boards in most drafts. These guys are going to get most of the carries, yards and touchdowns for their teams and would get you huge points for your team. If one of them slips to you late in the first round, it is imperative to take one.

“Perfect drafts are about as easy to come by as buckets of

unicorn tears.”

Top-tier quarterbacks are going to be the next players to go. If you are unable to take a top running back, consider taking surefire point getter could be a huge bolster to your weekly point totals. Aaron Rogers (Green Bay) is going early and often. However, most mock drafts and projection lists have annual fantasy studs like Peyton Manning (Indianapolis),

There is a general trend of taking running backs early, but top-tier quarterbacks are going to be the next to go, such as Green Bay’s Aaron Rogers. Tom Brady (New England), Drew Brees (New Orleans) and Phillip Rivers (San Diego) are available in most drafts in the third round. In the first five rounds of your draft, it is of the greatest importance that you take solid, proven performers. Taking a wide receiver early may seem the right thing to do. But again, be patient because after the first three or four big name receivers, the quality at that position levels out. Due to the shortened off-season, the fantasy studs for 2011 are the players who can step back into their roles without missing a stride. Also, it’s important to remember that after you scratch off the top 3 or 4 players in each category, not to reach for players just to fill roster spots. Again, be patient and pick the best available player to you. — Joel Easton

FeRdinAnd FolK FestiVAl

he Ferdinand Folk Festival is a huge event that takes place in the small town of Ferdinand, Indiana. By bringing in big name acts, such as this year’s headliner Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins and providing activities to interest everyone in the family, the Ferdinand Folk Festival promises to be an event to remember.

This year’s festival, which will take place on September 17th, will feature such musicians as Jen Chapin, the Green Room Rockers, Small Potatoes, Ember Swift, Dana and Sue Robinson, and Eddie Rasche. Although the music is a huge draw, the festival is full of other activities for those who don’t enjoy folk music. For example, the festival will also offer chainsaw carving demonstrations, falconry, hands-on arts and crafts demonstrations, and a Mutt Strut, which is a guided walking trail for furry friends and their humans. There is also music, face-painting, and storytelling especially designed for the kids. Town manager, Marc Steczyk has worked to assure that there’s something to interest everyone. The uniting focus behind all of these events is the artistry they each require; the Ferdinand Folk Festival features all sorts of workshops and classes, ranging from songwriting to leatherworking. As mentioned, one of the biggest draws to the festival is performer Shawn Mullins, who had a hit in 1999 with “Lullaby.” Since then, he’s found success in the Americana and alt-country worlds, even adding a Hammond B-3 organ and a pedal steel guitar on his recent record Light You Up. Mullins, who had his first son in 2009, says that becoming a father has changed everything about the way he views the world, including the way he views creativity. Sparked by the birth of his son, the veteran songwriter began exploring songwriting partnerships, including one with Chuck Cannon, who has worked with Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Through collaboration, Mullins was able to expand his own music, and this expansion seems to be in harmony with the Ferdinand Folk Festival and its core basis. With a whole day dedicated to the arts and learning how to share them with other people, the town of Ferdinand is not simply opening up their town to guests; they’re opening it up to new friends and working to create a community. The festival will take place in Ferdinand’s 18th Street park and is free to the public. Moreover, alongside the focus on creative pursuits, organizers have included education and discussions about sustainable resources and ways to help preserve the earth. — Katie Darby Mullins

Aaron Distler

eypenny drummer and former Evansville resident, Aaron Distler, began playing music early in life. Specifically, he started playing the saxophone and the trumpet in 4th grade. He wasn’t diggin’ the numb lips, however, so he switched to percussion by grade 5 and has been playing drums ever since. Aaron is quick to credit the music/jazz program at Plaza Park Middle School for setting the course for his future. Indeed, Aaron said, “I saw this guy, Wes Stoneman, do a drum solo during Herbie Hancock’s ‘Chameleon’ and thought, ‘This is what I want to do with my life.’ I’ve been pursuing it relentlessly since that day.” Aaron also shared, “Buddy Rich was a huge influence on me. I desperately wanted to play like him. Dave Abbruzzese from Pearl Jam was a huge influence as well. Really though, one of my teachers, Mark Eifler, was the biggest influence on me. He’s one of the most inspiring teachers I’ve ever had, hands down. His patience and excitement for music education is immeasurable. I’ll always admire him as a person and an educator.” According to Distler, “We have great chemistry with Heypenny. It took a long time for me to fall into place with them. They’re like brothers, and they were super close-knit. It’s very familial, and finally, I found my place in the band, and it’s great chemistry musically and emotionally.” Q: What are your most and least favorite things about gigging/touring? A: “I love it, period. I mean, I guess my only least favorite thing is to load and unload the van. We travel with about 8 to 12 TVs, and hauling all of that and setting it up gets pretty exhausting. Some months, we might be out for two weeks at a time, [but in] others, we just play 3 to 4 day weekends. Right now, though, we’re in the middle of a month-long tour.” Q: If you hit the lottery next weekend, what would you do? A: “Invest it! Well, I’d buy another old Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. It’s my dream car, and I sold mine a few years ago to be able to afford to move to Nashville.” Q: Do you have any hobbies or interests unknown to most people? A: “I like candle-lit dinners and long walks on the beach. I’m also a tea-partier, and I attend mega-churches in Brentwood, TN. I met my girlfriend on www.ChristianMingle.com.” Q: What are your five favorite songs? A: “Oh man, that’s so tough. I think I’ve got ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ and ‘God Only Knows’ in there [and] ‘I’m Only

Sleeping’ for sure. ‘Two Headed Boy’ by Neutral Milk Hotel. Really that whole album gets me. I don’t really think I can do top 5 songs. Let’s just say that Pet Sounds, Revolver, and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea are my 3 favorite records.” Q: What’s on your iPod - When you’re not playing your music, what do you dig listening to? A: “I’m like cookie monster with music. I consume it and move on to the next thing so fast, but I did notice the other day that I’m stuck in 2009. I keep going back to things like M83 and Lykke Li.” For more information on Heypenny, go to Heypenny.com. — Mark McCoy: MarkMcCoyPhotography.com Do you know an outstanding artist that deserves to be featured on Soundboard?

Iron & Wine

“Kiss Each Other Clean” Weird-beard folkie Sam Beam’s new album opens up some new avenues, namely the addition of a wider palette of electronics lightly punctuating his accessible and homespun pop songs. There are also some touches of jazz and funk, showing Beam is shedding his folk roots further. Old fans may be upset at the more commercial sound here, but this is a perfect summer pop album for these sweltering afternoons. (Warner Bros)

Jakalope

“Things That Go Jump In The Night” What the hell happened here? Known best for his work with industrial-horror pioneers Skinny Puppy (and to a lesser degree, Nine Inch Nails), producer extraordinaire Dave “Rave” Ogilvie’s new band is squeaky-clean radio pop, complete with teen-sheen singer whose vocals resemble Gwen Stefani, if you’re into that kinda thing. Ehh, no. (604 Records)

Johann Johannsson

“The Miners’ Hymns” This Icelandic composer creates lush and beautiful modern classical soundtracks, and this latest work is subtle and ambient, in a similar minimalist vein as Philip Glass or Arvo Part. There’s a lot of nuance here, with strings and brass assembling themselves tastefully alongside moody electronics, and plenty of space between the notes. If this is a requiem for the mining industry, it’s quite a lovely one. (130701 Records) — Todd Zacharitz

Crone “Endless Midnight” (Translation Loss)

(4 stars)

capable of many moods and textures. “Endless Midnight” is a fine album that shows the future is bright for this ISIS progeny/offshoot. — Todd Zachritz

Kate Bush “A Life Of Surprises The Story So Far” (Pride DVD)

(4 stars) Jeff Caxide (formerly of progressive post-metal bands ISIS and Red Sparowes) returns anew with this project, and it’s a continuation of the ambient textures that his former bands experimented with. Virtually gone are the thundering riffage (though it’s hinted at here), and the grunted vocals. In fact, Crone is entirely instrumental. But it works beautifully, almost leaving behind the “rock” tendencies completely. Opening with the Stars Of The Lid-style drones of “What You Dream Of”, Caxide explores rich and sonorous soundtrack music. The album’s highlight has to be “The Silver Hammer”, which begins all lush and ambient, gradually building up to something larger, heavier, and monolithic, finally evolving into a shimmering shoegaze-dronemeets-riff soundscape. Absolutely wonderful! “Cellar Holes From A Lifetime Ago” is a floating set of tones and drones, and the title track is another mellow track that wouldn’t be out of place on an old 4AD Records compilation. More ambient and soundtrack-oriented than his previous bands, Caxide proves he’s

Having been only peripherally aware of Kate Bush, this examination of the work of the visionary English artist and songwriter was a fine education for me. In fact, now I know where Tori Amos, Joanna Newsom, and Bjork nicked some of their signature moves! The first disc, previously released as “Kate Bush - Under Review”, is a lengthy and detailed bio, complete with plenty of video clips and interviews with journalists and biographers. There are critical appraisals of all of Kate Bush’s major albums, from “Wuthering Heights” in 1978 to her 2005 “Aerial” album. “Under Review” provides a wealth of info and history, and with the generous portion of visual and audio clips, a good illustration of the artists’ music and styles. Quite enjoyable. The second disc, previously known as “Hounds Of Love - Under

Social Distortion

“Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes” (Epitaph Record)

f I ever meet Mike Ness, I will shake his hand respectfully. The man is an American institution. Rising from the second wave (or is it first?) of west coast punk in the late 70’s, he’s been a survivor from the start, conquering substance abuse, a splintering scene, fallen band members, and cut-throat major labels, only to find himself 30 years later as energized and vital as ever. With his (their) first album in 7 years, Social D don’t so much change things, as hone their craft to an even sharper focus. Their trademark hybrid of old rockabilly and punk, with hints of old country and folk are unmistakable and singular. The driving instrumental “Road Zombie” opens, and prepares the listener for what it to come...great, catchy, and heavy tunes about the hard life, but with a reverent love of life that’s contagious. “California (Hustle And Flow)” is a bluesy rocker with a gospel backbone, staying true to Ness’ past while simultaneously being as radio-ready as anything he’s ever done. But the 9 tracks that follow are no slouches, either. “Writing On The Wall” will stick in your head for hours, for example, as will “Still Alive”, which sums it all up and closes things out perfectly. Ness pours his heart and soul into his songs, never forsaking the energy nor melody. Everything here is world class roots-punk. If you’ve ever liked Social Distortion before, this is a must-have. Highest marks. — Todd Zachritz

Review”, fares almost as well. It begins with a simplified bio and history up until Bush’s definitive “Hounds Of Love” album, which is then exhaustively examined, track-by-track, by some of the same journalists and writers as the first disc. Again, plenty of sound snippets and clips from promotional videos are presented, making this one a wholly worthy addition to any Kate Bush fan’s collection. A solid set, and “A Life Of Surprises” has encouraged me to check out some of this extraordinary artist’s marvelous music. — Todd Zachritz

Isolation “Closing The Circle” (Eisenwald)

(2 stars)

This German doom/post-metal outfit aren’t quite there yet, but this debut album shows great promise. Isolation dare to combine the post-punk dirge qualities of Joy Division or Red Lorry Yellow Lorry with the gargantuan post-metal of juggernauts like Neurosis or Isis, with a tendency towards more atmospheric dynamics. The clean vocals move them well beyond traditional categorization, though I get hints of black metal deep within the mix, too, especially on tracks like “Closing A Circle”, with its swell of guitars and blastbeats. Isolation show a willingness to experiment with and subvert the usual metallic genres,

and they are able to combine unusual sounds and inspirations. Here’s to hoping their next release will be a stronger breakthrough. — Todd Zachritz

Spudmonsters “Stand Up For What You Believe” (Fast Break! Entertainment)

(3.5 stars)

This takes me way back. Cleveland’s Spudmonsters were a staple of the Midwestern hardcore/punk scene back in the late 80s and early 90s. Their sound combined speedy hardcore with elements of punk and thrash metal. “Stand Up” is their first new material in 5 years, and luckily, they’ve held their ground well. This is classic, old-school hardcore, with no apologies and no concessions. “One Family” opens it all with a blur of bulldog shouts and thrash metal riffage. I’m reminded of Suicidal Tendencies a little. “Loyalty” also expresses the band’s H/C philosophy well, as does the speedy “Tolerance”. “It Follows” is positively anthemic, reminding me of Minor Threat with a simple melodic chorus. “Nothing Remains” is a tightlywound attack that closes it all out. “Stand Up” proves that Spudmonsters still shred after more than 20 years. For anyone into classic hardcore, this is a must-hear. — Todd Zachritz

allthatjazz A n Evening of Jazz with the Stefan Scaggiari Trio will be presented on Saturday, October 8th at the Eykamp Hall in the Ridgeway University Center on the campus of the University of Evansville. Along with this fine jazz trio, Skelton’s Montourage and Jeff Harmon Jazz will also be featured.

Stefan Scaggiari is an Evansville native, who is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music. After spending several years performing with the US Marine Band in Washington, D.C., he earned a master’s degree from the Peabody Conservatory and was a semi-finalist in the prestigious Van Cliburn Competition. Although he loves and still performs classical music, he is also a much sought-after jazz musician. After settling in Annapolis, Maryland, he forged a reputation accompanying such artists as Phil Woods, Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd. After a tour of Japan with Carol Sloane, he spent several years at Concord Records, both as a leader and accompanist. His love for classical music still burns bright, as was exhibited during a recent trip to Evansville. In June 2010, he performed at St. John’s East U.C.C as part of the Kallenbach Concert Series. His performance was a Chopin tribute, in honor of the anniversary of the composer’s 200th birthday. Skelton’s Montourage is known as a fine, local jazz ensemble. Monte Skelton has been a well-known virtuoso and band leader, and the Montourage is made up of some of the finest musicians in the tri-state area. Jeff Harmon Jazz is a swinging quartet featuring Jane Harmon (vocals), Red Wick (piano), Pat Moore (drums), and the godfather of local jazz, Jeff Harmon, on bass. As a special feature during this event, there will be an introduction of the Stefan Scaggiari Trio by long-time friend, associate, and musician, Mr. Mark X. Hatfield.WUEV 91.5 FM is producing this concert as its fall fundraiser. This is the third year for this event, which started in 2009 with a concert in memory of the late Pat McCormick.

Come One Kid, Come All! Kid’s Fest 2011

vansville’s local PBS station WNIN has brought together families and their children through their educational programming. They continue this tradition of togetherness with their WNIN Kids Fest for over 25 years. Last year’s event brought together a diverse cross-section of the community with over 5,000 guests in attendance! On September 17, WNIN opens up their facilities for family fun. We talked with WNIN Events Manager Ashley Murray to get an inside look to this local family event, which will focus on promoting children’s health. According to Murray, “WNIN seeks to improve the overall achievement rate of the children in our community.” They hope to do this by promoting a connection between children and their parents – a value provided through the PBS preschool block, parent/child involvement and related literacy activities. The station encourages future literacy-related activities and life long learning to attendees by offering a free book in which families can read together. “Last year over 3,000 books were given away free to encourage a love of reading,” explains Murray. WNIN encourages future literacyrelated activities and life long learning through the use of the PBS preschool block schedule. “Take away tips are available for each child and parent at Kids Fest,” she says. In addition to the free books available for each child, WNIN will bring your child’s favorite PBS characters off the television screen for a meet and greet in the WNIN studio. This year’s line-up of stars include Abby Cadabby, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Curious George, Cat in the Hat, Princess Presto and a special appearance by the Bunny Bread Bunny. This is the perfect opportunity to have a picture taken with your child’s favorite character! Throughout the festival, entertainment will be provided by local youth organizations. Murray explains, “By encouraging creativity is a part of learning and what better way than for children to see peers performing and participating in public events.” Other featured exhibits include Mesker Park Zoo’s “Animal Encounter,” Safety Smoke House put on by the Evansville Fire Department and much more! Each booth will have a hands-on activity for children and an inflatable is set up to keep the kids active! Lunch will be available at the Kids Fest food court. All proceeds from the food court support the Trusted Children’s Programming on WNIN. Visit the 2011 Kids Fest at WNIN, located at 405 Carpenter Street. Access to parking is off Bond Street in the Springleaf Financial parking lot. The event can be accessed off Bond Street or Carpenter Street.

Mina Fedora

ew age singer songwriter, Mina Fedora has been avidly pursuing growth and achievement through genre-bending projects that include lush harmonies, intricate layers, head-nodding flows, and lyrical prowess. Hailing from Henderson, Kentucky, Mina creates music ranging from hip-hop tinged with electronic music to trip hop with ethereal vocals in her house mixes. Her music has a soothing, loungey European chill while still maintaining an electronic touch because she is a techno-junkie at heart. Mina deserves the recognition and fan base of an artist backed by a major label. She continues to amaze her listeners with hit after hit after hit. She is a musical chameleon. A gem! Q: Think back to a live performance with the Verdugo Brothers either in the studio or on stage and paint me a picture of what it was like for you to experience that very moment when you felt the epiphany, that is, when you realized your life would never be the same again. A: “The room is thumping; I can feel it pounding in my chest. My eyes are closed; I’m spinning in my head, floating to the speakers, just bathed in the rumble of the bass. The top floor of the club is packed to the exit. People are anxious; people are ready; and people are screaming... my name. It’s amazing. The fear and nervousness I used to feel is replaced with a barely smug satisfaction that these people are here to see me. Music blaring, set pounding, I can barely hear my voice, but I can see the crowd, and their lips are moving. They know the words to my song. And nothing is more phenomenal than doing it again.” Q: Have you been busy working in the studio or focused on recent business ventures with anyone? A: “My favorite collaborations are with Rocket Empire (Om Records), the Verdugo Brothers, who opened for DJ Tiesto, and Nmesh. I have been working with Rocket Empire for nearly three years and have really benefited from this pairing. Tracks that feature my vocals can be found on numerous releases through Om Records, and they are also available on iTunes. I am continuing to do new work with Rocket Empire, the most listened to artist on the chill channel on Sirius Radio. Songs with my vocals can also be heard on Pandora Radio via Rocket Empire. Nmesh and I have this amazing chemistry together. The tracks that we produce are mind blowing, even to ourselves. It’s so very hard not to drive down the street blasting my own music!! I spent a large portion of the past two years writing lyrics and melodies for my 10+ tracks with the DJ/producer duo [known as] the Verdugo Brothers.”

Perhaps the best and most recent collaborations involving Fedora have been with the extremely talented and successful DJ/producer duo, The Verdugo Brothers. In fact, the Verdugo Brothers remixed one of her original songs, “All Okay,” which opened the door for many wonderful things, including the song “Oh So Bad,” which was also her first video. They performed together live in Sacramento, CA, in early 2010. In 2009, Mina Fedora linked up with Portland, OR, based “Rocket Empire” on Om Records and recorded 3 tracks for the Rocket Empire project. Interestingly, she wrote and used many of her own original instrumentals for the album entitled “Yellow,” which has become a major hit. “Without Mina’s help, the Rocket Empire sound would not be what it is today. She is a true blessing,” states Rocket Empire. Mina contributed to the song entitled “The Inside,” which has been licensed to the TV show Damages on FX. Additionally, the songs entitled “Coming up for Air” and “Burr Dub” also feature Fedora. Mina can also be heard on Rocket Empire’s self-titled album, Rocket Empire, by Om Records and featured on iTunes.

Electronic musician and producer Nmesh (Alex Koenig) and Fedora have been working on some down tempo tracks since 2008. Nmesh stated, “I’ll write something I think she’ll dig, send it her way, and in no time, she’s written lyrics and sent me back a demo. I leave every aspect of the vocals in her hands, and the end result has always been nothing less than incredible. I’m lucky to have her in my corner. The rest of the music world is catching on fast, too; she’s climbing the industry’s ladder at a rapid pace.” The two are currently collaborating on a remix for Brooklyn’s urban fusionists Candiria for their 4th installment of the “Toying with the Insanities” series. Additionally, they are writing new material for Mina’s upcoming solo album scheduled to be released this year. — Tamatha Lant

JAM THEATRICALBROADWAY AT THE CENTRE

(...Article Continued From Page 7) “There are three distinct theatre seasons produced by USI—USI Theatre, the Repertory Project, and New Harmony Theatre. Each integrates itself with our educational and cultural mission in slightly different ways. The USI Theatre Season takes place during the fall semester, followed by the Repertory Project productions in the spring. While all plays are produced by USI, they are different in terms of their organized production because the Repertory Project must run in accord [with] a professional stage union contract with [the] Actors Equity Association. This contract enables USI’s program to include professional actors and a professional stage manager in its production.

Maestro Alfred Savia leads the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra.

USI’s Performing Arts program employs professional practices in its pedagogical approach, and the University has helped fund productions that must observe those procedures. For this reason, New Harmony Theatre, which is a completely professional union stage, does train USI students through internship/apprenticeships to step into professional positions of responsibility. Generally, all actors are auditioned in New York studios for summer productions. Audiences see a mixture of professional and student actors during the Repertory Project season. Our fall season is completely student-based, with only the occasional exception.” Shakespeare’s R&J Joe Calarco. Directed by Elliot Wasserman. October 14-21, 2011

CIVIC THEATER

Christopher Tyner, the Managing Artistic Director for Civic Theater, is thrilled with the excitement that their productions have generated in their 86 years of existence. “Our 2011-2012 Blockbuster Season is filled with familiar plays that have become popular films or vice versa, while the Underground, at the Annex in Washington Square Mall, offers an alternative, edgier season of shows, targeting a specifically younger audience. It allows younger directors to cut their teeth and experiment at developing their own style. Auditions are open and we conduct cold readings for plays, so nothing needs to be prepared before an audition. For musicals, we ask for a memorized solo and a short dance audition (if dancing is required). Everyone is a volunteer.” Ticket Prices: Adult: $18.00, Senior: $16.00 (65+), Student: $12.00 (21 & under)

“The upcoming 2011-2012 Broadway season is our most exciting yet. We are thrilled to be presenting the Mel Brooks musical Young Frankenstein, the New York trio Blue Man Group and classic titles like the Tony Award winning South Pacific and Damn Yankees. To add more excitement, Straight No Chaser has agreed to be a part of our season. This will truly be an unforgettable Broadway season.” — Steve Traxler, President of Jam Theatricals Straight No Chaser Thursday, December 1, 2011-7:30 PM Rodgers and Hammerstein’s, South Pacific Wednesday, December 14, 20117:30 PM Jam Theatricals (Presenter) is a Chicago-based entertainment company that presents and produces Broadway engagements throughout North America.

(...Article Continued From Page 9) Coach Knight continues to pay close attention to the continual changing landscape of college basketball. The emergence of megaconferences, such as the Big East Conference have some fans alarmed that the lower-level teams of the “power conferences” will not be able to compete with the upper echelon teams. Coach Knight explains that having an abundance of teams in one conference does not diminish the quality of play. “It’s the most difficult conference to go through,” explained Coach Knight. “By having that many teams that are that good.” “Like (the University of) Connecticut won the NCAA tournament last year. Now I will assure you that the five games that Connecticut won, in the five backto-back days; in winning the Big East tournament, was a more difficult thing and a greater accomplishment than winning the NCAA tournament.” “Because they played better teams in their conference, in some cases, than they played in the NCAA tournament. I told Jim Calhoun (Head Coach, University of Connecticut) that winning the NCAA tournament was great. But it’s not the accomplishment you had in winning your own league tournament.” Coach Knight also stated that the emergence of a megaconference like the Big East does not necessarily diminish the quality of basketball play in that conference, however, strengthens those teams due to the quality of competition. Other changes to major men’s college basketball, as well as amateur athletics itself, are looming on the horizon. Recently, the idea of paying college athletes for their performances on the court and on the field has become a hot-button topic for the mainstream media. “I have never been one to think that college athletes should be compensated in any way other than the scholarship and the fact that many

times kids are able to get jobs through the athletic department. As long as they are legitimate jobs.” Some of the ideas that have been introduced include paying athletes an extra stipend per semesters in excess of their scholarships, as well as allowing student athletes to hire their own personal agents to organize autograph signings and recuperate money from the sale of jerseys and memorabilia. “How much is a kid getting paid by having a scholarship that takes care of room and board, books, tuition and fees. That seems like a pretty good stipend for a kid. While the other kid has to work his ass off to pay his way through college.” Despite the ever changing world of college basketball, and college athletics in general, Coach Knight maintained high expectations and discipline for his coaches and players. This is evidenced most by the success of the students he’s mentored. Coach Knight has achieved just about everything a player or coach can strive for. However, his proudest achievement is graduating an unprecedented 98 percent of his student-athletes. “What we were able to do, almost without exception, is to have those kids finish school and prepared to go to somebody for employment, having a college degree. And that to me, more than anything else we tried to do; or did do.” Coach Bob Knight will be speaking at The Centre on September 17, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. and will be addressing the current state of college athletics as well as sharing stories from his career as a player and coach. Tickets may be purchased at any Ticketmaster outlet or by calling (800) 745-3000. Tickets range in price from $31-$71 and are subject to fees and handling charges. — Joel Easton

We’re Talking Music Making

hether you are a solo artist or part of a great band, the time has arrived to finally cut that ever elusive demo track. The quest to locate a cost effective, professional quality recording studio can be a challenging venture. Who better to speak with than with someone connected with a professional recording studio about this subject? News 4U contacted Brett Mulzer, owner of Side Alley Recording, who agreed to give our readers a sneak peek into the recording industry.

Side Alley Recording is an ideal location, centrally located between Evansville, Bloomington, Louisville and Owensboro. This factor combined with our inexpensive rates, professional quality and top of the line recording equipment makes us one the best recording values in the tri-state area. Our clientele include solo artists, band demos and full album recordings. They have four professionally treated rooms, more than 3,000 square feet, a Ruper Neve Designs Analogue Mixing Console, analog and digital gear including an RND 5088 mixing desk, Pro Tools HD rig and microphones. We have the skill set and ability to record any type of music from singer/songwriter to heavy metal. Our goal is to bring out the best in our clients and we meet and exceed this goal by being patient and helpful throughout the recording and mixing process. The studio began as a project studio called Jamhouse Studios in 2008; it was more or less a place to record for my friends and myself as a hobby. However, word spread, and about a year later we expanded the studio into two rooms and opened our doors to the public. Without the benefit of advertising, the growth continued and the decision was made to launch Side Alley Recording as a full service commercial studio in 2010. A normal studio day includes: writing, producing, running gear and offering advice on arrangements. All recording sessions are scheduled by appointment via email or phone. — Tammie Tuley For more information about rates, details or to schedule an appointment, visit SideAlleyRecording.com or call 812-547-4444.
