Who We Are >> Who Knew

Etched in History Nussmeier Engraving Company is a printed record of our city’s past

EVANSVILLE ENGRAVED: Nussmeier Engraving’s collection includes a rare 1816 book acquired by the company recording laws passed by Indiana’s First State Legislature (bottom left), a page from a monk-scribed Bible dated to England in 1225 A.D. (top right), and copper and steel engraving plates made by the company during its nearly 100 years in business.

.

Nussmeier Engraving Co., located at 933 Main St., might not seem like a repository for rare historical records and objects. Established in 1916, the company offers services in engraving, printing, foil stamping, embossing, die cutting, and designing.

Yet the Nussmeiers’ special collection dates back to 1816, when one of the remaining few books recording the laws passed by Indiana’s First State Legislature was put into the company’s custody. According to co-owner David Nussmeier, the family acquired the book during The Depression in the 1930s when it was discovered that one of its employees allegedly stole around $1,200 from the company. Inevitably, the employee was fired but never prosecuted. A couple years later, that employee mailed the Nussmeiers the book of Indiana’s First State Legislature as apparent restitution for his actions.

Also, the Nussmeiers have a newspaper dated Aug. 27, 1933, from The Evansville Courier Journal that featured the first owners of the engraving company, Harry and Oscar Nussmeier, pictured with the book recording the laws passed by Indiana’s First State Legislature.

Another interesting item that the Nussmeiers have in their possession is a page of a Bible that is marked and dated to be from England in 1225 A.D. It’s a psalter leaf written in monk-scribe, hand lettered, and illuminated on parchment. It was acquired during The Depression when a museum in Ohio, as a fundraiser, took the Bible, dismembered it, and sold each page to help keep the museum functioning.

The next item up for discussion is a framed specimen of genuine state bank notes that were used prior to the War of Rebellion, popularly known as the American Civil War. The collection consists of 100 different designs, with no duplicates, of landscapes, marine views, Niagara Falls, Crystal Palace, New York City, and vignettes, all in fine condition.

The bank notes were originally owned by John Walz, one of the founders of Nu-Art Engraving Company in Chicago and were pasted in a notebook. Walz gave the bank notes to his brother Pete, who mounted them in the frame and then gave it to Robert Peckham, who worked at Nu-Art Engraving Co. Peckham left the company in 1966 and gave the framed bank notes to Harry Nussmeier because he thought Nussmeier would both appreciate them and provide a permanent place for their display.

Five People You Need to Know

>> River City Revealed

Brad Kimmel Only nine months into his tenure at WNIN as President and CEO, Brad Kimmel, 52, has nearly 30 years of experience behind him.

In 1994, Kimmel founded Bradley David Productions and began producing programming for national cable networks, including creating the popular “My Classic Car.” The Murray State University graduate says new this year is “Abbey Chat,” a live, half-hour callin or text-in show immediately following “Downton Abbey,” seen locally Sunday evenings on PBS WNIN. The fourth season began Jan. 5.

Marcia Dowell Marcia Dowell has been making Evansville beautiful since taking over as President/Executive Director of Keep Evansville Beautiful in March 2013. Dowell, who earned her two degrees at the University of Evansville, says KEB is about cleaning debris, weeds, and trash while at the same time making the city aesthetically pleasing as well as opening green spaces. The 53-year-old has no intentions of letting up as she works to complete the Evansville Airport Gateway Welcome Monument and raise money to create and install an eye-catching sculpture to top the wall.

Greg Hager Since he was 16, Greg Hager has worked in libraries. Now 47, Hager serves as the Library Director at Willard Library, where he has been since 1993. The Indiana University and Rio Grande College alumnus says he’s most proud of expanding the library programs to serve 17,000 individuals. Hager is anxiously awaiting a $2.4 million construction project to expand the State of Indiana’s oldest public library, which had its groundbreaking Dec. 12. Willard opened its doors in 1885 and has never been expanded until now. The new building will open in 2014 after eight to 10 months of construction.

Chris Ryan When Chris Ryan relocated to Evansville to become CEO at The Women’s Hospital in the Deaconess Health System, the site was nothing more than a cornfield with a bunch of construction trailers.

The hospital was built in 2001 and the Newburgh, Ind. resident has since helped make it one of the Best Places to Work as named by Modern Healthcare for the last four years. The Women’s Hospital was ranked second in the nation in 2013. Ryan is also the Chief Nursing Officer. She has a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Elmhurst College and her master’s degree in public affairs from Indiana University.

Matt Rowe As the Executive Director of the Reitz Home Museum, Matt Rowe, 43, calls himself a “one-man show.” With a small staff, Rowe serves as a director, curator, fundraiser, you name it. The Newburgh, Ind., native joined the Reitz Home staff in February 2011 and is also the chairman of the City of Evansville Historic Preservation Committee. A University of Southern Indiana alumnus in art history, Rowe says he wants the Reitz Home, 224 S.E. First St., to be financially stable and for it to outlive him.

Do you want a soda with that? A pop? What about a coke? Do you mean Coca-Cola?

Because of differing regional dialects, how we pronounce certain words and how we refer to these types of drinks, the shoes on our feet, or address a group of people could be entirely different in cities separated by only 30 miles.

Kaitlyn Lee, who was a senior at Centre College in Danville, Ky., and a Fulbright Fellowship recipient, took a closer look at local regional dialects in her thesis, “An Analysis of Regional Linguistic Variation and Perception: Owensboro, Ky., & Evansville, Ind.” Lee found the majority of residents surveyed in Evansville and Owensboro differ on what they use as a generic term for a carbonated beverage, as well as many other terms.

She interviewed 23 people each from Owensboro and Evansville. She found that 14 out of 23 of Owensboro residents, or 60 percent, use the term “coke.” The majority of Evansville residents polled (39 percent) answered with the term “soda,” followed by 35 percent referring to it as a “soft drink.”

“Evansville had eight participants who replied ‘soft drink’ while Owensboro had none. This means that the term ‘soft drink’ was unique to Evansville,” Lee says. “Although residents of Owensboro would understand what ‘soft drink’ means, it might distinguish one who used it as a non-native in Owensboro.”

Harvard University Linguistics Department conducted a similar dialect survey, polling residents of each state. The survey concluded in 2003.

Out of 261 responses from the entire state of Indiana, Harvard concluded 40.34 percent or the majority of Hoosiers used the term “pop.” This study reveals Evansville’s dialects are unique to the rest of the state. Meanwhile across the Ohio River in Kentucky, out of 146 responses from the state, 43.77 percent or the majority of residents used the term “coke,” which matched Lee’s survey of Owensboro.

Lee also examined the term for grandfathers. In Lee’s research, 65 percent of those polled in Evansville refer to their grandfather as “grandpa,” followed by 26 percent who use “papaw.”

In Owensboro, the usage of “papaw” is more regularly used as 43 percent of those polled answered with the term. Seventeen per-

cent responded with “grandpa.” “’Papaw’ has always had an association with country and southern life and it is therefore not surprising that it was more frequent in Owensboro,” Lee says. “The use of ‘papaw’ in Evansville may be frequent, because much of the land and region outside of Evansville is also agricultural, and quite similar to life in the traditional south.”

Harvard’s research also revealed Indiana as a whole prefers the use of “grandpa,” while Kentucky prefers to use a different term, such as “papaw.”

Lee also explored the perception of regional dialects by interviewing participants from Evansville and Owensboro to see what they believed is a difference in dialect.

In Owensboro, one participant compared her city’s dialect to Evansville: “We definitely have a Southern accent.” She went on to tell a story about a day she was working in Evansville and her coworkers teased her about her Southern accent. After work, she said her family told her she was getting a Northern accent from working in Evansville.

Lee says another participant in Evansville noted, “There’s a twang when you cross the river. Evansville has a southern accent, Owensboro’s is just stronger.”

“This statement not only shows the perception of Evansville about Owensboro, but also the perception of Evansville about the state of Indiana,” Lee says.

At Tucker Publishing Group, we asked 13 staff members a series of different questions to determine the differences in our office space dialects. The majority of employees (53.8 percent) use the term “soda,” followed by 38.4 percent, which use “coke.”

The majority of our staff (53.8 percent) prefers the phrase “you guys” when referring to a group of two or more people. “You all” was the second most used (30.7 percent). Ten of 13 staffers pronounced the word “caramel” with two syllables “carmul” while three others used three syllables “car-a-mel.”

David Smith: The Evansville community is incredibly blessed to have many educational opportunities for students including public, private, parochial, and charter options. The opportunity to choose what will help a child engage in their educational process is important. And, I believe that the EVSC offers such a wide-range of options and opportunities that area students can easily find their niche and succeed. I also have seen the data that show EVSC has always done an excellent job of educating students who come to us on grade level, and who are from a family of means. Recent improvements in educational data outcomes are evidence that we are also bucking the national trend by seeing huge growth in student success with students who live in poverty. I am confident this growth will continue due to our recent innovations.

CV: What were your own favorite subjects in school and what was your “best” year in school?

DS: My favorite subjects were music, history, and English. I was fortunate to be in an out-

Evansville’s German roots reflected in beer and brewing

By Mark King

Evansville has a proud German heritage.

had a fascination with chemistry and “fooling around” with chemicals at his father’s businesses. “I got the opportunity to try a lot of different things, and some things that I probably shouldn’t have,” he laughs.

Carson’s approach to brewing is similar in many ways to his predecessors, but with a modern twist. The brewery doesn’t utilize Pigeon Creek water, but it does depend on the local water supply. “City water works just fine. We’ve experimented with spring waters, but we really couldn’t tell the difference,” he adds.

Carson’s is only one example of the microbreweries that have sprung

The city is filled with numerous historical reminders, including its beautiful Catholic churches and cathedrals, and other landmarks like the Germania Maennerchor.

Evansville’s German roots also are reflected in the city’s love of beer and brewing. By the late 1800s, Evansville hosted numerous breweries within its city limits. Most of these businesses were located in proximity to Pigeon Creek, in order to take advantage of the plentiful water needed for the brewing process.

According to the coauthor of “Hoosier Beer,” Bob Ostrander, who wrote the book with fellow author Derrick Morris, most of these early breweries consolidated before the start of the 20th century. These mergers left two key competitors, Cook’s and the Sterling Brewery along Fulton Avenue, as the dominant brewers in Evansville.

Cook’s founder, Frederick W. Cook (18321913), was part of the German migration to Evansville in the 1850s, which was the start up of large-scale beer production, a carry over from the long German tradition of brewing fine pilsners. Cook’s was eventually purchased by Tony Hulman, of Indianapolis Motor Speedway fame. “The Hulmans of Terre Haute, Ind., had a number of distilling interests in those days,” explains Ostrander. “Unfortunately, Cook’s got into a labor problem, because they were paying their workers significantly less than their competitor (Sterling) across town.”

Rather than resolve the labor dispute, the Hulmans closed the plant and ceased operations. The Cook’s plant was shuttered after the final beer was bottled, and the facility was eventually razed. The downtown Civic Center complex now stands on the old property.

The Sterling facility went through several owners before closing in 1997. Ostrander credits its final owner, the Evansville Brewing Company (EBC) with a number of innovations, especially in marketing the product. “They recognized how marketing and beer went together. EBC worked with several casinos to sell custom products and also collaborated with Harley-Davidson on a branded beer,” continues Ostrander.

Today, Evansville has seen a renaissance of brewing. Jason Carson owns and operates Carson’s Brewery on Lynch Road. As a youth, he

up across the nation in the past two decades, a trend now evident in Evansville.

Turoni’s Main Street Brewery started brewing in 1996, making it Evansville’s oldest microbrewery in continuous operation. Jack Frey, the head brewer at Turoni’s, started home brewing as a hobby before he lost his job at Old National Bank in 2003. He started as an assistant brewer in fall 2003 and became the head brewer a year later.

Turoni’s offers six different types of beers on tap, and brews around 30 different kinds throughout the year. Frey says because of the popularity of its beer, Turoni’s brewing has “doubled in production” in the last 10 years.

Tin Man’s decision to sell its product in cans was a business decision, but it also was environmentally conscious. “Canned beer stands up better to oxygen and light.

By canning the beer, we not only deliver a better product, but also do more to protect the environment,” Davidson says.

Both Carson and Davidson appreciate the spirit of cooperation within the fraternity of microbrewers. “I’ve visited more than 30 breweries, and most are more than willing to share their ideas,” Carson says.

Davidson agrees. “Even though we’re competitors, we’re just trying to grow the business of micro brewing,” he adds. CV (Kelley Coures, Community Development Coordinator for the City of Evansville, contributed to this story.)

Turoni’s brews can be purchased at each of the three restaurants around Evansville and Newburgh, Ind., but it does not have any bottling or packaging services. Customers can buy a half-gallon glass jug to take home at the bar.

Also a microbrewery, Tin Man Brewing Company opened on Franklin Street in November 2012.

Like Carson, Tin Man President and owner Nick Davidson got hooked on brewing early in life. “My parents bought me a home brewing kit when I was in high school,” he says. “I’ve always had a love for cooking, for working with my hands.”

Davidson also recognizes the importance of protecting the environment when brewing his product. Tin Man uses a specialized mash filter that reduces water usage and waste product. “Even though this equipment costs more, we think it will

Name?

By Kristen K. Tucker

New York City claims the Rikers and the Ellises. Chicago has the McCormicks and the Wrigleys. Louisville, Ky.’s, founding families include the Clarks and the Speeds.

When foundations were laid for our cities, it was families who pioneered to make them great. Generation by generation, families form the continuous threads in Evansville’s history, too. Here are the stories of three families, strong still today in Evansville, whose ancestors lived here through four or more generations.

22 EVANSVILLE CITY VIEW 2014

h e K oc h s T

Philipp and Margaretha Koch arrived in Evansville from Albig, Germany, on Aug. 17, 1843, with their five sons: Jacob, Philip, Henry, George, and Andrew. The 18-day steamship trip was difficult for Margaretha — sixth son William was likely born the day the family arrived in Evansville. The family arrived in New York City, and traveled to Pittsburgh by train, where they boarded an Ohio River steamboat to journey to Evansville.

Margaretha’s sister, Maria Barbara Wick Heilman Weintz had immigrated to Evansville five years earlier.

Mrs. Weintz was the mother of William Heilman, who served as Evansville’s mayor from 1910 to 1914.

Philipp Koch first farmed in Posey County then founded Eagle Brewery at the corner of Riverside and Fulton streets. While the business was profitable, his son George decided at age 14 to become an apprentice at the

City Foundry. The apprenticeship lasted five years and ended with a trip down the Ohio River to Vicksburg, Miss.

Still there at the start of the Civil War, George enlisted in the Confederate Army and was wounded twice — once at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee and again at Corinth, Miss. At the same time, four of his brothers were serving in the Union Army. “It was always their fear and their father’s that they might one day be pitted against each other,” according to Koch family history records.

He designed After the war, George, his wife Anna Maria Schwink, and built a small amusement park in his backyard that feaand their two children moved to Evansville, where he tured a 100-foot roller coaster, swings, and a merry-goopened the George Koch Tin Shop round.

The history of Evansville’s Jewish community began in 1837 with the arrival of the Gumberts family, who were said to be the first Jewish family in Indiana. Evansville was appealing because of the large number of German speaking people among its population of 1800, as well as the fact that Evansville was the terminus for the largest canal project in the world, the Wabash & Erie Canal.

Along with the parents, Marx and Rachel Gumberts, young Abram traveled from Bavaria, Germany, with his five brothers to Evansville, celebrating his first birthday on the boat. In his early adult years, Abram was known as a peddler, traveling mostly in Kentucky. Eventually he settled down in Evansville and began buying land, including property at the corner of Sixth Street and Washington Avenue which he purchased to donate as the site of the Washington Avenue Temple. Today the site is the home of Patchwork Central, a faith-based neighborhood outreach organization. The synagogue’s tower remains; a fire destroyed the building in 1983.

Abram became a clothing manufacturer with headquarters EVANSVILLE CITY VIEW 2014 23

at First and Sycamore Streets. He and his wife, Priscilla Dinkelspeel Gumberts, had six children, among them, Ferd A. Gumberts. Ferd worked in a number of jobs before buying, in 1901, a furniture store on Main Street, which became Rosenthal and Gumberts Furniture Co. (Rosenthal was Ferd’s brother-in-law.)

Ferd married Florence Bitterman (whose family owned jewelry stores in Vincennes, Ind., and Evansville), and they had three children: Richard, Helen Gumberts Simon, and William.

Like most Main Street businesses, the furniture store, known as R & G Furniture, was a family operation. Ferd, sons Richard and William, and their uncles all worked in the store. In the 1930s and 1940s, Main Street bustled with shoppers and R & G beckoned them with a beautiful electrical sign, suspended above the sidewalk, featuring a rocking chair that rocked. It was one of the first moving electrical signs in Evansville.

Families that made Evansville tick

Ferd’s children were interested in the arts and culture — Richard and William each toured Europe in high school (Richard in 1925; William in 1927) and reveled in the museums, concerts, theaters, opera, and architecture.

As an adult, William worked to promote what was then the Museum of Fine Arts and helped establish the Evansville Civic Theatre Association. William served in World War II, and upon his return continued to encourage the arts, serving on the boards of the Evansville Museum and the Broadway Theatre League. He also was president of the board of Family and Children’s Service and a member of the Mayor’s Human Relations Commission. In 1969, he commissioned architect Keith Knapp to design a twostory home with six round towers at 22 Chandler (twice featured in Evansville Living, most recently in November/ December 2013). In March 1981, William Gumberts was named the first winner of the Mayor’s Arts Award. He died in 1983.

Richard, the oldest son, was tapped to serve as president of R & G Furniture when his father died in 1960. The firm operated until 1967 when urban renewal led to its closure. With an active retirement, Richard worked primarily in social service fields. He married Susie Wells, in 1937, at the McCurdy Hotel. Wells’ family lived at the elegant McCurdy after relocating from Louisville, Ky., to establish the Wells Cloak and Suit Company on Main Street.

Susie was a founder and lifetime director of Keep Evansville Beautiful and a master gardener.

She also was a self-taught cook who penned a column, “Alphabet Soup,” in the 1960s and 1970s for the Sunday Courier and Press. Susie Gumberts died in 2004 at the age of 88.

Orr. Samuel

Orr, an Irish immigrant to Evansville, opened a small blacksmith shop in 1835, which Robert D. Orr over a period of years grew into an iron-manufacturing center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Orr’s grandson, Robert (1917-2004) served as Indiana’s Lieutenant Governor and Governor. Orr Iron’s headquarters stood on what is now the Lloyd Expressway near Fulton Avenue from 1912 until it was demolished in 2008 due to expansion and relocation of part of the expressway. Robert’s work to secure an interstate highway bypass for Evansville culminated in the construction of Interstate 164, or what is now known as the Robert D. Orr Highway.

Weinbach. William Weinbach (1842-1929) was a carpenter and later a general contractor who built homes in what was then the far eastern edge of the city limits. Land owned by the Weinbach family was sold to developers who eventually named a street after the family name. Weinbach Avenue became a major north-south corridor in the eastern edge of the city, and lent

its name to a variety of businesses that opened along the corridor including the former Weinbach Pharmacy, in the basement of which existed one of the largest and most popular cafeteria eateries in the city.

Wesselman. Albert Wesselman (1894-1962) operated Wesselman’s supermarkets from 1933 until his death in 1962. Wesselman’s legacy was established while he was State Senator from Vanderburgh County in obtaining the land now known as Wesselman’s Park and Nature Preserve. The Stockwell family originally owned the land but farmed instead of cutting timber, which preserved for all time the forest. Mary Stockwell, the matriarch of the family in the 1880s sold the land when the nearby State Hospital opened, as she feared inmates might escape and enter her property. A Republican, Albert Wesselman served eight years in the Senate.

Mesker. Pressed metal store-

fronts bearing the name “Mesker Steel” can be found across the United States. Mesker Steel in Evansville was owned by George L. Mesker, son of a prominent stove manufacturer. George’s brothers, Frank and and Bernard, had relocated to St. Louis where they operated a rival

company called, “Mesker Brothers.”

Beginning in the 1880s, his products included staircases, tin ceilings, and fire escapes. George Mesker left Evansville in the early 20th century and died in New York City in 1936. He bequeathed $500,000 in the form of the Mesker Music Fund to his hometown to be used to help the parks system. Both Mesker Park Zoo and Mesker Amphitheatre are named for him.

Dress. William Dress was the Mayor

of Evansville from 1933-1942 and then again from 1948 until his death in office in 1949 from cancer. The depression era mayor was responsible for many public service works financed by the Roosevelt Administration’s WPA system. The two projects that had the greatest impact on Evansville were the Dress Plaza along the Riverfront, which still bears his name and Dress Regional Airport, which is now known as Evansville Regional Airport. Dress was particularly interested in public works projects, which included the removal of all streetcar tracks throughout the city when buses replaced the old electric traction William Dress cars in the late 1930s.

The Intersecting Lives of the Evans Brothers, the Gumberts, John Augustus Reitz, and the Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville By Kelley Coures Monday, Jan. 7, 1861, was a chilly evening in Evansville. A formally dressed crowd of prosperous citizens gathered at the Evansville Opera House, located on Lower First Street (where Vectren’s parking lot is now), for a belated New Year’s Eve ball. The band played, and hoop skirts swished across the dance floor.

During the evening, two brothers from a prominent family — Robert M. Evans Saleta Evans and John Paul Evans, grandsons of the late Colonel Robert Evans for whom the city was named — entered into a raucous argument over unknown issues, but witnesses admitted both were in a serious state of drunkenness. As the disagreement heated, both men threw punches and then drew guns. Party guests hid behind pillars and doorways. The brothers fired 15 shots. John Paul was shot in the head and died instantly, but not before he had lodged two bullets in Robert’s chest and stomach. The shots killed him 20 minutes after impact. A stray shot slew 18-year-old Solomon Gumberts, the son of a prominent family. Someone ran to the Evans home to alert a soon-to-bebroken-hearted mother, Saleta Evans, who rushed to the scene.

Saleta spent the rest of her life devoted to temperance. In 1878, she raised funds to construct Evans Hall on the site of the present Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe). Evans Hall provided meeting space for the growing Women’s Christian Temperance Union. At its peak, the organization boasted 200 members, but that number dwindled after Prohibition ended in 1933. John Augustus Reitz was a liberal contributor to the building and maintenance of the hall.

Evans Hall was the largest public gathering place in the city until 1916 when the Soldiers Evans Hall and Sailors Memorial Coliseum was constructed at Fourth and Court streets. It was demolished in 1930 for construction of the Central Library which served the reading public until the current library opened in 2004 on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Today the Saleta Evans Memorial Fund, created by the Saleta Evans Trust, continues to benefit temperance programs through grants awarded by the Vanderburgh Community Foundation.

Museum expansion aims to draw more visitors of art: What could be more appropriate for the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science? This month (February), the museum cut the ribbon on a $14.1 million renovation and expansion that will allow it to engage even more visitors in the subjects it seeks to highlight.

The Koch Immersive Theater is the centerpiece of the project’s fifth and final phase, a 9,000-square-foot addition that has given the museum a new front door on the south side of the building. After crossing the new Virginia and John H. Schroeder Plaza, which better aligns the museum with the Ohio River Greenway, visitors now enter the museum through the Eykamp Pavilion, a stunning 2 ½-story glass-front atrium funded by the George and Dorothy Eykamp Bequest that opened on Feb. 7.

Dominating that space is the Immersive Theater, which features the latest in planetarium technology and looks rather like a planet. The outer surface soon will be covered by wooden panels in varying shades of brown by Muncie, Ind., artists Adam Buente and Kyle Perry of PROJECTiONE. Designed to look as if they’ve been exposed to the elements over time, the panels will in effect make the theater itself an exhibit in the museum. PROJECTiONE also created the sculptural acrylic-covering on the grand staircase that hugs the dome on one side.

Inside the theater, two digital video projectors beam images onto the entire surface of the 40-foot-wide dome, while a 10,000-watt surround-sound system further envelops up to 70 viewers. Programming will cover a range of science topics, not just astronomy, says Josh Gilmore, director of membership and marketing.

Established in 1904 and once known as “The Temple of Fine Arts,” the Evansville Museum has been housed at various times in a mansion, a library, and a renovated YWCA building. It’s been in its

PROJECTING THE FUTURE: Begun in 2009, the $14.1 million capital project dramatically enhances the visitor experience. The new Immersive Theater replaces the Koch Planetarium, which was the oldest in the state.

current home since 1959 and was last expanded in 1985.

The “Reaching for the Stars” capital improvement project began in 2009 and was designed by Evansville’s VPS Architecture and RATIO Architects Inc. of Indianapolis.

Danco Construction was general contractor. Its earlier phases included renovations of the Old Gallery, the Richardt Room, the Alcove Gallery and collection storage and exhibition-preparation areas, and the addition of the Welborn Baptist Foundation Family Place, a hands-on science center; the Evansville Convention and Visitors Bureau Center for History and Science, a changing exhibition gallery; and a new classroom.

Work on the addition began in late 2012.

“This has been an exciting year, with every month bringing new challenges and tremendous change,” says Mary Bower, interim director since January 2013 and the Virginia G. Schroeder Curator of Collec-

tions for 35 years.

One big change is the museum’s firstever admission fee: $7 for adults and $5 for children ages 4 to 17 (free to children under 3 and members). Admission includes entry to EMTRAC, the Evansville Museum Transportation Center. Tickets for the Koch Immersive Theater are $5 for daytime shows and $7 for shows after 5 p.m. ($3 for all shows for members). To keep the museum accessible, admission will be free on the third Friday of each month, with expanded “Free Friday” hours of 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Regular hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.

East Meets West Historic Pagoda architecture brings unique style to Riverfront “The average question we get is, ‘Why is it in the style that it is in?’ They understand that it is a pagoda, but why? That is probably the most frequently asked question. Why would you build a pagoda in the Midwest?” says Bob Warren, executive director of the Evansville Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Go for a drive along S.E. Riverside Drive or take a walk along the Riverfront Corridor along Downtown Evansville from Sunrise Park to Tropicana and you will likely notice the Pagoda. With its red tiled roofs that curve up toward its ends, and its beige walls, the structure that stands near the edge of the Ohio River is — in southwestern Indiana — an architectural novelty.

Now the home of the Evansville Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Pagoda is also known as the Visitors Center. It was designed by architect Harry Boyle of the firm Brubaker, Stern, and Boyle and built by contractor Charles Kleiderer in Sunset Park in 1912. It contained a roof garden, cupola, bandstand, and public restrooms, according to “The Postcard History Series of Evansville” by Joseph Engler.

A story in the Nov. 21, 1912, issue of The Evansville Courier describes the structure as an oblong pavilion open on all sides with an overhanging cornice. “The roof is flat and is to be used as a roof garden and for seating during band concerts,” the story says.

“The bandstand is located at one end of the building in a tower effect. The floor of the pavilion is elevated about four feet above the grade and is approached by broad cement steps on each side.”

“The Sunset Park pavilion is built in Japanese style,” The Evans-

ville Courier wrote in a story published on Jan. 5, 1913. “This was adopted, first because it will be picturesque; second, it will be bright and cheerful with enough color in the tile roof to harmonize well with the surroundings and will be artistic.”

Because of its concrete construction, the Pagoda is American, but whether it is actually of a Japanese or Chinese style is hard to say. Delegates from Evansville’s sister city, Tochigi City, Japan, who came to the Pagoda in April 2008, remarked that the style was Chinese.

“It’s an American construction that is clad in an exotic motif but not necessarily one or the other explicitly,” says Alan Higgins, an architectural historian with Cultural Resource Analysts Inc. Later, the Pagoda survived the famous flood of 1937 but then sat neglected, boarded up with plywood, until its restoration began in 1995. Students at McGary Middle School, directed by Southwestern Indiana Historical Society President Robert C. Spear, were largely responsible for support for the renovation project, Robert P. Patry wrote in “The City of the Four Freedoms: A History of Evansville, Indiana.”

Sound Medicine Location for new IU Medical School to be announced in April public relations for the Indiana University School of MedicineEvansville is to boost awareness and support. She smiles and admits that until learning about the job opening three years ago, she didn’t know that IUSM-E existed.

Few others in the community had a clue, either. First- and second-year IU Medical School students have had the option of coming to Evansville for classwork since 1972, but there is no separate IU Medical School building here, there are no highway signs directing you. Until recently, only 32 students total (16 firstyears and 16 second-years) attended each year. Classes are confined to the third floor of the Health Professions Center at the University of Southern Indiana.

“In the past, our focus was more on research, and humming along with first- and second-year students,” Zimmermann says.

“Then, along came Dr. Becker, and his vision changed things.”

That’s Dr. Steven Becker, who became director of IUSM-E in 2011 and quickly brought it out of obscurity when he announced plans to build a health science education and research center that will be roughly seven times larger than the 24,000-square foot space provided at USI. The total building space of the new campus will be 170,000-square feet, a portion of which will be the medical school. If the state legislature gives its blessing, as expected, ground will be broken in 2015. The new building, or buildings, will open in 2017 at a cost of about $70 million. Total economic impact to the region is an estimated $340 million by 2020, according to consultant Tripp Umbach of Pittsburgh.

“This will likely be the largest academic health education area in the entire state, outside of Indianapolis,” Zimmermann says.

“That speaks well for our region’s future in terms of health care.

Long term, we do want to expand into research more.”

At the project’s core is expansion of IUSM-E from a two-year to a full four-year medical school. That’s already taking place, with third-year students attending at IUSM-E for the first time this year. Fourth-years will be added later this year in June. By 2020, IUSM-E is expected to have up to 200 students. Medical school graduates must serve three to seven years as residents, and a key part of the plan has been Becker’s ability to advocate for more residency slots locally. Currently, Deaconess Health System offers 18 positions for residents and Methodist Hospital in Henderson offers seven. That number must rise substantially, and IUSM-E has partnered with Deaconess, St. Mary’s Medical Center, Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center in Jasper, Ind., and Owensboro Health to bring the number closer to 130.

“The initial investment required to build new residency programs will be well worth the cost,” Becker says. “It enhances our regional economy, and it will attract new physicians to our area,

since studies show that medical students are more likely to locate their practices in the city where they trained.”

IUSM-E is one of eight regional medical schools in addition to the main location in Indianapolis, and all eight are expanding into full, four-year medical schools in order to produce 30 percent more students and stave off an anticipated shortage of physicians. Of the eight, only IUSM-E is planning a new joint academic health science and research campus. An agreement signed in October brings together USI, Ivy Tech Community College-Southwest, and the University of Evansville to utilize the new facility for their students seeking health profession careers. USI plans to focus on graduate level education and research. UE intends to add a physician assistant program to go along with its current nursing and physical therapy programs. Ivy Tech will bring the biggest number of students because all of its health science programs will move to the new site. As many as 1,400 Ivy Tech students are expected to study there by 2020. In addition, the IU School of Dentistry is expected to send its fourth-year students to Evansville, starting in 2017. The school has 434 dental students enrolled this academic year.

Now, the big question is where to build. The City of Evansville, with its development team of Skanska, LLC, and US HealthRealty, proposed a six-block area near the Ford Center and the city’s new convention center hotel (to be built by HCW, LLC, of Branson, Mo., beginning this year), for the medical school campus. According to Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, the city has secured the necessary options for its proposal. “If you read the RFP (from Indiana University), I think it screams ‘downtown,’ for its cultural and social amenities and its walkability,” Winnecke said.

Developers of The Promenade on Evansville’s East Side near Burkhardt Road and Oak Grove Road want it there, and the Warrick County Commissioners want it built just east of the Vanderburgh County line near Deaconess Gateway Hospital. USI will submit a bid to locate the new academic buildings on its campus. The final decision belongs to the IU Board of Trustees, which votes in April.

“A lot of our local leaders have voiced support for a particular location,” Zimmermann points out, “but they have also countered that by saying no matter where it gets built, this is a big win for the entire community.”

Morning Smile

WFIE 14 News anchor Beth Sweeney now calls Evansville home She rises early, very early. For morning WFIE news anchor Beth Sweeney, 35, working before the sun fills the sky has become something of a routine. This Liberty, Ky., native and graduate of the University of Kentucky grew up wanting to be an actress.

She now resides in Evansville, is married to Reed Kress, a chiropractor, and is 14 News’ morning smile.

City View: Tell me a little bit about yourself.

Beth Sweeney: I majored in journalism, and then worked in Lexington, Ky., for a cable channel. I then moved out to Los Angeles and worked for KTLA, which is now the CW channel. It was the WB when I was there. I did traffic reporting up in a helicopter and just knew that I really wanted to anchor, and to be able to do that I’d have to come back to a smaller market. So, I moved back home and started sending out resume tapes, and this job came available, and I came over and got hired and I’ve been here for eight years now.

CV: How do you remember your first stories?

BS: One of the first stories I covered here

chair ramp.’ Or ‘We’re going to help this person with home repairs.’ So I’ve always been very service minded, and I felt like journalism was another way to do that in a job environment — to help inform people, and to let them know what is going on, and hopefully ignite them to become active citizens in their community.

CV: What is your schedule like?

BS: I get up at 2 a.m., take a shower, and head straight to work. Immediately when I get here, I start writing for the show. We have two producers overnight and of course they come in earlier in evening, so the rundowns for our show are pretty much set up, and I just start plugging in stories. I start writing stories, I start checking wires, I start checking the Internet, to see what’s happened over

night for anything that is new that we can provide to viewers, because we are sometimes the first thing they see or hear when they wake up in the morning. We are on from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m., and then we do local news cut-ins during the Today Show, up until 9 a.m. After that is over I work on a story for the 5 p.m. newscast that is recorded ahead of time and anchor our midday show at 11 a.m. So my day typically ends around 11:30 a.m.

CV: Why did you come to Evansville?

BS: Evansville is only about 31/2 to 4 hours away from my hometown. WFIE is a legendary station and a great place for you to really learn how to anchor and learn how to be a good journalist. And I think that says something for WFIE and to the whole city of Evansville. When I came here I really learned what they were talking about. When you have greats like David James and Ann Komis who are mentoring you, you can’t ask for anything better than that.

in Evansville was the November (2005) tornado, eight years ago. I started anchoring the day after that tornado hit. That was my first week in the anchor chair with 14 News Sunrise. I did a couple of stories with survivors of the tornado, an elderly couple in Newburgh who escaped their home. They were able to walk out of there alive, which was amazing. And of course, those memories of that, and how the community came together right after I’d just moved here. It really just made me feel like Evansville was the place I wanted to be in.

Intentionally Signed High school athletes take their game to college

By Emily Patton

making sacrifices. Often athletes can’t rely on pure talent alone.

They must hone their craft by being the first at the field, gym, or pool, and are the last to leave. It’s this kind of passion and dedication to their respective sport that has enabled 12 high school athletes in Evansville and Newburgh, Ind., to sign letters of intent so far during the 2013-2014 school year.

Those 12 athletes include Ernie Duncan of Harrison, who signed to play basketball at the University of Vermont; Jacob Fleming of Mater Dei, who signed to play baseball at the University of Southern Indiana; Ryan Gulledge of North, who signed to play baseball at the University of Southern Indiana; Taylor Howerton of North, who signed to play golf at Indiana University; Will LaRue of Mater Dei, who signed to play baseball at Xavier University; Bethany Hyndman of Boonville High School, who signed to play volleyball at Oakland City University; Brooks Logan of Reitz Memorial, who signed to swim at Southern Methodist University; Dylan Meyer of Central, who signed to play golf at Illinois; Maura Muensterman of Mater Dei, who signed to play basketball at Indiana University; Kori Waelbroeck of F.J. Reitz, who signed to play volleyball at IUPUI; Korbin Williams of Castle, who signed to play baseball at the University of Evansville; and Carolyn Wilmes of Mater Dei, who signed to play softball at Ball State University.

Here, we introduce you to seven of the athletes and see how they achieved this accomplishment.

34 EVANSVILLE CITY VIEW 2014

Taylor Howerton (North)

North senior golfer Taylor Howerton moved from Madisonville, Ky., to Evansville before her junior year when her father, Jeff, got a job as the golf pro at Sultan’s Run Golf Club in Jasper, Ind. But changing schools didn’t stop her from achieving her dream of signing to play golf at Indiana University.

The 17-year-old chose IU over the University of Indianapolis.

During her senior season in fall 2013, Howerton was a medalist in 10 of 17 tournaments and recorded her lowest score of a 68. As a team, North went undefeated and finished sixth at the state tournament.

Will LaRue (Mater Dei)

Ever since tee ball, Mater Dei senior outfielder Will LaRue wanted to keep playing the sport he loved. Even during the offseason, LaRue practices on his own.

“I don’t like to be outworked by anyone,” says the 18-year-old, who has played four years of baseball and basketball in high school.

Such hard work by the son of Cathy and Mark LaRue has earned him a chance to keep playing. LaRue signed to play baseball at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. He chose Xavier over Kansas and Olney Central College in Olney, Ill. LaRue has been selected to the Academic All-State team for three consecutive years. He also recorded 30 stolen bases last season.

Brooks Logan (Reitz Memorial)

Brooks Logan always imagined he would play soccer in college, but a concussion altered his focus to swimming where he was achieving great success.

Logan played soccer and swam for the first two years in high school, before he made the “bittersweet” decision to concentrate solely on swimming.

But the attention placed on one sport paid off as the Reitz Memorial senior signed to swim at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He chose SMU over Columbia and Indiana.

Memorial’s boys team was recently ranked No. 10 in the state, and earned the Southern Indiana Athletic Conference boys title on Jan. 25 at Castle. Logan swam to victory while setting two new Southern Indiana Athletic Conference records in both the 50 (21.46) and 100 (47.02) freestyles, and also teamed up with seniors Mitchell Sullivan, Matt Tharp, and junior Jacob Winiger to finish first in the 200-medley relay.

When Kori Waelbroeck’s father, Robert, died in April 2013, the F.J. Reitz senior volleyball player had to keep playing like she had always done.

Her father, who had been in the hospital with complications from Hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder, passed away right after she played at JVA Worlds Challenge in Louisville, Ky. In June, she continued on to help her club team, KIVA 17 Red, to a fifth-place finish in the 17-Open division at AAU Nationals in Orlando, Fla. “It was really hard to play knowing he was that sick, but I didn’t want to remember him looking like that because he had tubes in him and everything,” she says.

“So I just played through it. That’s what he would’ve wanted me to do. He always

wanted me to be a volleyball star.”

Kori Waelbroeck has become just that, as she signed to play volleyball for IUPUI. She chose IUPUI over Evansville, University of Southern Indiana, Missouri, Butler, Brigham Young, and others.

The 6-2 right side outside hitter is a two-time All-Metro, All-City, All-Conference selection.

Dylan Meyer (Central)

The scholarship offer to play golf at Illinois didn’t come as quick as others for Central senior Dylan Meyer, but when it did the 18-year-old knew his answer right away.

“It was an offer I couldn’t refuse because I know what coach Mike Small has there,” Meyer says. “At the time, they had won four straight Big 10 championships, and now five.”

The indoor golf facility and being close to home went into making his college decision, Meyer says. The son of Jill and Darren Meyer chose Illinois over Ball State, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Louisville, Arizona, as well as others.

Meyer tied for fifth at the 2013 American Junior Golf Association Under Armour/Jeff Overton Championship.

Maura Muensterman (Mater Dei) The passion that Mater Dei girls basketball standout Maura Muensterman plays with is rooted in the success her older brother, Kelly Muensterman, achieved while also wearing gold and red.

Six years older, Kelly Muensterman won the Class 2A Indiana State boys basketball championship during the 20032004 season.

Her brother is who helped the threesport athlete, balancing four years of volleyball, basketball, and softball, make the decision to sign to play women’s basketball

Korbin Williams showed what he could do on a baseball field out west, and now he’s ready to prove it in Evansville.

The 18-year-old Castle centerfielder moved from Pueblo West, Colo., to Evansville where he has family ties in August 2013.

Williams is a two-time Southern Colorado League All-Conference winner and a 2013 Colorado All-State winner, and has signed to play baseball at the University of Evansville.

“It was kind of a rough transition,” Williams said of the cross-country move. “Everything happens for a reason though, and this is for the best. I’m ready to prove myself in a new area.”

He is the son of LaNeeca and Rodney Williams, and will play his fourth year of varsity baseball in the spring. He chose Evansville over the University of Nebraska. CV

on the East Side of Evansville shares a name with one of the most famous streets in the world: San Francisco’s Lombard Street, famous for having a steep, one-block section consisting of eight tight hairpin turns. Our Lombard is an avenue, the principal street in a moderately successful real estate development called Bellemeade that was promoted as “a home site for the person tired of the city,” begun 100 years ago.

In April 1913, Evansville veterinarian John R. Mitchell bought 40-plus acres approximately two miles from the city boundary of Kentucky Avenue. The south end of the tract was bounded by Washington Avenue and the north end was bounded by Lincoln Avenue. The tract was just south of Woodmere, the state hospital. Mitchell platted the land into 89 lots and named the north-south street Lombard Avenue.

Mitchell bought what was known as the McCallisterTerry farmhouse at 3515 Lincoln Ave. to live in while he was developing Bellemeade. This home was constructed in 1830 and, over the years, it has been enlarged and embellished.

The 89 lots, which cost $300 or $500, were advertised as “large enough to give breathing space and have your own flowers, fruits, and vegetables.”

“Buy lots in Bellemeade. It’s a pleasure to show them,” proclaimed the advertisement Mitchell placed in an ad in The Evansville Courier in 1920. That was the message of Evansville veterinarian-turned-real-estate developer Mitchell as he marketed the street. For the next 40 years, Mitchell’s subdivision slowly grew; progress was impeded by war and the Depression.

He named his subdivision Bellemeade — beautiful meadow — and promoted the convenience of the nearby Bell Street streetcar extension, which terminated at the State Hospital, as well as the large size of the building lots. Lots on the east side of the street were 50 feet across and 395 feet deep.

A story published in the Evansville Courier & Press on May 3, 1994, by Anne Schleper about Historic Preservation Week activities ran with this headline: “A Daring Neighborhood: An Early 20th-Century Developer took a Chance with a Subdivision Called Bellemeade.” A Lombard Avenue tour was to be led by the city’s historic preservation officer, Joan Marchand.

“The Lombard Avenue development was daring at the time because it was so far from the city limits,” said Marchand in the newspaper story. ‘”It was an unusual suburban residential development because it was out in the ‘boonies.’ It didn’t develop fast because of that, and also because World War I intervened,” she said.

The developer Mitchell named the north-south street within the subdivision Lombard Avenue because he liked the sound of the name, Mrs. Marchand said.

654

722 The best-known house on Lombard, 600, gets its acclaim from the famous oilman who lived there, Ray Ryan, allegedly murdered by the mob in October 1977. After working out at the 21st Century Health Club on Bellemeade Avenue, Ryan was killed when his Lincoln Mark V blew up when he started the ignition.

The home, as it appeared when the Ryans purchased it in 1946, is pictured in the 2012 book, “Mob Murder of America’s Greatest Gambler,” by Herb Marynell and Steve Bagby.

The French Provincial home was built in 1938 for E.F. Schnacke who was the president of the North Star Furniture Co. It has been expanded through the years but retains the original character.

Next door, 654 Lombard is a busy home. Known as The May House, it was gifted to University of Evansville in 1980 by real estate developer Guthrie May, who lived in the house for more than 30 years. The home was built in 1940 for Robert Gray. Today it is the official residence of the University of Evansville president, and is often the site of university functions, including the freshman class ice cream social held each August.

758

808

While Mitchell lived in the farmhouse on Lincoln Avenue, the first homes he built on Lombard were between Bellemeade and Washington avenues. Marchand’s notes indicate this bungalow, 722, was likely the first house in Bellemeade, built in August 1915 for Julius and Tillie Myer. He was a manager at the Home Federal Savings & Loan Association, established in 1914.

Erected beside the earliest house on Lombard is one of the newest renovations, 758. In 2012, this home was a movie set — several scenes in former Newburgh, Ind., residents and brothers Michael and Eric Rosenbaum’s movie, “Back in the Day” were filmed in this attractive Tudor. (See stories about the movie in Evansville Living September/October 2012 and January/February 2014.)

The beautifully manicured home at 808 Lombard was built in 1930 and is one of the larger homes on the street. It also is set further back from the street.

872 Continuing the tour of this tree-canopied street, the English Tudor Half Timbered home at 822 was built in 1925 for the Christian Becker family. Becker owned Becker Brothers Wagon at the turn of the century. Marchand noted that daughter Esther still was living in the home at age 92 in 1990.

The stately Colonial Revival at 862 occupying two lots was built in 1938 for Robert and Elaine Pott. Pott was an engineer and inventor best known for developing the impact wrench that was patented by Ingersoll Rand. He also is the namesake of the University of Southern Indiana’s Pott College of Science and Engineering. The Robert and Elaine Pott Foundation has significantly endowed the University of Evansville, as well.

While I do not know the history of the charming Arts and Crafts style bungalow at 872, I admire its lovely gardens.

The English Revival at 908 was built by the developer Mitchell as a spec home in 1929. It did not immediately sell. In 1936 it was rented, and then purchased, by Phil E. and Elizabeth Drachman, owners of Drachman Chevrolet, the precursor of Kenny Kent Chevrolet. Drachman served as president of Evansville’s

42 EVANSVILLE CITY VIEW 2014

908 Redevelopment Commission in the 1950s and was an amateur artist and azalea grower — those efforts can be seen each spring in the home’s pretty bushes. Well-liked and widely admired, Drachman died in 1991 at the age of 89.

Amid the backdrop of the Jazz Age, before the stock market crash of October 1929, subdivision developer Mitchell built this handsome Colonial Revival home at 918 Lombard Ave. The first owner was John L. Martin, who was associated with the Ideal Dairy Company, founded in 1919 to offer pasteurized milk to the city. Later owners of the home were Jim and Emily Fowler, who moved there in late 1965. Emily, who became fondly known as the “Mayor of Lombard” for her watchful eye and neighborhood spirit, lived here until her death in 2009.

Next door at 928 is a beautifully restored Colonial Revival, built in 1936 by the Stovall Lumber Co. for Robert Burkert, a salesman with Burkert Walton Inc., a printing company founded in 1906 that is still operating in Evansville today.

The charming brick and limestone English Cotswold cottage at 952, designed by renowned Evansville architects Anderson & Veatch, was built in 1937 for Harry B. Bourland, president of the Evansville Paint & Varnish Co. — known today as Red Spot. The home’s unique façade is dominated by a large fireplace in its living room.

918

Former preservation officer Marchand’s notes indicate that one of the city’s finest examples of the bungalow style of architecture is at 968, near Washington Avenue. It was built in 1927 for Simon A. Schmitt, who owned a plumbing and heating business and also installed suburban water systems. In 1938, the home was purchased by William C. Welborn, an attorney and founder of the Conrad Baker Foundation. The foundation supported the Old Court House in its transition after the construction of the Civic Center.

The home’s brick features an unusual diamond pattern. The house is adorned with half-timbering, as well as curved-topped windows and eave brackets. Indeed, it is one of my favorites, too.

The founder of a now-closed but long favorite Evansville store lived at 963 Lombard. It’s known that Frank A. Baynham moved here from 768 Lombard in 1941. Preservation officer Joan Marchand’s notes make no mention of the Baynhams’ monkeys ever residing in the charming English cottage — they didn’t come along until the store expanded in the 1950s and monkeys were displayed in glass cages. For more than 50 years, customers flocked to Baynham’s on Main Street and later at Washington Square Mall, North Park, and Eastland Mall.

Marchand’s notes from her 1994 Historic Preservation Week tour tell the story of the sprawling ranch home at 901 Lombard. It was built on two lots in 19401941 by George E. Cameron, described by Marchand as having “breezed into Evansville on the late 1930s oil wave.” Cameron’s brother, Arthur, built the white brick Colonial mansion at 411 Hebron Ave. (located off Lincoln Avenue on the hill behind what is now Bethel Temple Community Church) for his actress wife, June Knight Cameron.

The painted brick cottage at 807 with an arched porch entrance was built in 1928 for Frank J. and Laura Lohoff. He was a sales representative for Evansville Tool Works.

753

A grocer, Philip Hoelscher, was the first owner of this 1921 bungalow at 773, promoted as having five “spacious rooms,” including a breakfast room and pantry. I admire the breezy porch.

A lovely classical portico and porch define this 1926 home at 761 built for Jode and Mada Hay. He was associated with the Orr Iron Co. and made a mortgage loan for $2,900 with Peoples Bank for the home.

One of the oldest homes on Lombard is the attractive 1915 bungalow at 753 built by Mitchell as a spec home.

As development continued on Evansville’s East Side, a survey was conducted to determine if East Siders would support a church; most of the city’s churches were within the city’s core. The First Community Church, 3407 Bellemeade Ave., was established in 1940 to “embrace all doctrines and creeds.” Designed by a St. Louis architectural firm, the church on the corner of Lincoln and Lombard avenues was erected in 1950 for $100,000. The church is a French Normandy style and was built with St. Meinrad, Ind., sandstone. Today, it is the home to the Church of God of Prophecy.

Evansville at Two Hundred: 1812-2012, created for the City of Evansville — Available for $22.50 plus tax at the Pagoda Visitors Center, 401 S.E. Riverside Drive; the Reitz Home Museum, 224 S.E. First St.; the Evansville Museum of Transportation Center (EMTRAC), 411 S.E. Riverside Drive; and the Tropicana Evansville gift shop.

3407 Bellemeade Ave. The home at 663, built in 1925 for the Walter Karsch family, is similar to another home on the street, 823. Karsch was Secretary of American Trust & Savings Bank, located at 6th and Main streets. The home is defined by its massive front chimney and has been significantly expanded through the years.

Next door at 659 is another John R. Mitchell spec home.

Mitchell was living in this Dutch Colonial at the time of his death in 1944. This home, too, has a twin — on Parkside Drive in Akin Park.

My family lives at 601, at the corner of Lincoln and Lombard avenues. Our home, a Colonial Revival, according to Marchand’s notes, was built in 1938 by Roy Ryan of Ryan

601 Construction Co. as his personal residence. In 1943, the Ryans moved to McCutchanville and Bernard Schnacke, brother of E.F. Schnacke, who lived across the street in the French Provincial home, purchased the home. It, too, has been renovated and expanded, and extensive landscaping now largely shields it from Lincoln Avenue — much busier today — where John R. Mitchell first began to plan his beautiful meadow.

What we Like >> Interview Evansville

Art is the Answer Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana works to make city more appealing After serving for more than a year as the executive director for the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, Anne Shoemaker McKim, 30, has pledged to make Evansville an appealing place to live. A graduate of Central High School and the University of Southern Indiana, she previously worked as program director for the Public Education Foundation. She believes art enhances the quality of life.

City view: What are your goals for the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana?

Anne Shoemaker McKim: We would like to change public perception of the role that arts play in a community. Arts should be a dynamic experience, not just something that you look at and walk away from. It should be a tool for economic and community development. All of the research says that a strong public art and cultural scene improves the quality of life.

That’s good for everybody whether or not you’re an artist or an arts patron.

CV: What are some of the ways you help people become aware of and appreciate the fine arts in Evansville?

ASm: Once people are exposed to the arts, they recognize the value there. Increasing our exposure is a huge piece of that, and

helping people see the art that already exists in our area. There are some really fantastic sculptures and really wonderful pieces that people aren’t aware of. I hate it when people say, ‘There is nothing to do in Evansville.’ Every night there is music being played, galleries opening, shows at the museum, events just social in nature or intellectual and spiritual.

CV: How would you describe the art scene in Evansville?

ASm: Some fantastic examples are the Haynie’s Corner Arts District artists, Blackford’s Grove artists and artisans, what goes on at Franklin Street in terms of music.

CV: How can art play a role in revitalizing Downtown Evansville?

ASm: Downtown and other urban core neighborhoods like Haynie’s Corner have the potential to echo what you see in other neighborhoods of that size where there are restaurants and bars, and music and art are all a part of that. The environment is creative. The environment is vibrant, and culture is a word that comes to mind when you’re in those places. We think of the Arts Council as a key player in developing those areas. When we talk about Downtown Evansville, the question is why would someone choose to live here instead of in a subdivision. Art has to be in the answer.

Art has come to stand for a different way of living. We think art is vital to Downtown being a successful district to live.

The idea is that I have two little children (Lily, 5, and Rory, 3) and in 30 years when they grow up, they are going to probably move away to go to school. And that’s fine, but I don’t want Evansville to be out of the question when they are thinking about where to go or where to raise their children. When I go to work each day, I look at the 30-year Lily and Rory timeline. What am I doing today to make this community really, really appealing 30 years from now?

Have you ever wondered what counterfeit money looks like? The difference between counterfeit coins and their counterparts is a lot less than you might think, according to Brad Lisembee, the current secretary of the Evansville Coin Club.

Lisembee and the rest of the Evansville Coin Club spent nearly five years amassing a collection of nearly 50 counterfeit coins which they purchased primarily through eBay before the site started cracking down on counterfeit sales. This collection is now displayed for educational purposes at the club’s annual Coin Show held at Tropicana every year on the day after Thanksgiving, or Black Friday. This year’s show will be on Nov. 28.

Founded in 1955 by a group of prominent Evansville business leaders including Robert Malcolm Koch, John Schroeder, and Charles F. Leich, the Evansville Coin Club initially held meetings at members’ homes.

As the club grew, the meetings moved first to the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science and then the C.K. Newsome Community Center. The club also had grown to the point that it needed funds to support the club’s activities. Out of this need sprang the idea for the “Golden Flea Markets,” which began in the late 1960s.

Held at the “Gold Room” of the Evansville Civic Center, these flea markets allowed for members to deal from their own collections as well as a number of other participants to sell their own collectibles. By renting out tables, the club was able to make money.

Nowadays, the monthly coin club meeting is held at the Ohio Township Public Library in Newburgh, Ind. “The purpose of the Evansville Coin Club is to educate current and future coin collectors in the history, grading, and collecting of numismatic items,” Robert Zimmermann Sr. says of the term used to describe coins, paper money, and tokens.

A former president of the club, he joined the club in 1968.

drawing for a prize collectible as well as food, made possible by each member’s annual $10 dues. The meetings also are marked by an informative session which can range from a talk about the solvency of local Evansville banks in the time period leading up to the Civil War to a more contemporary topic such as the existence of $1 bills, which Zimmermann says will be done away with in the near future and replaced by dollar coins as we are one of the last countries to still have paper dollar bills.

“Meshing history with business was the perfect fit for me,” Zimmermann says of his reason for remaining with the club. “I think the details and facts presented at the monthly meetings are my favorite part, the educational experiences. The camaraderie, too — there are a bunch of great people.” ­— Nick Hebebrand For more information about the Evansville Coin Club, call Robert Zimmermann Sr. at 812-425-6251.

Franklin Frenzy West Side businesses join together for grassroots movement The more carefree men, women, and children waved their arms wildly and tossed the blue, yellow, and pink cornstarch into the air. Others just stood and laughed as they were doused with a sudden rainbow of colors. It was 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 20, 2013 — also known as Earth Day — and 1,300 people were standing in a thick, scattered line near the Gerst Haus, waiting for the first annual Franklin Street Color Me Fun 5K Run to begin.

Amy Word co-founded the non-profit Franklin Street Events Association with Leah Spivey, Fred Hillenbrand, and John Bugg in December 2012. While Bugg later left the organization, Word, Spivey, and Hillenbrand helped organize the Fun 5K race that had runners and walkers overtaking Franklin Street that morning. Their goal? To foster creative endeavors throughout the community and to once more position Franklin Street as a leading center for art, culture, and entertainment.

“People want something fun to have

pride behind,” Word says. “The branding and the idea behind it — people have latched on to it. This truly has been a grassroots movement in every sense of the word. I think Franklin Street is who we want to become as Evansville, and who we want to be.”

So far, the organization has succeeded because of the support of Franklin Street businesses. In its first year, the Franklin Street Events Association organized and held the Mardi Gras Franklin Crawl, the Earth Day Fun Run and Art Crawl, the summer movie series, and the Halloween Zombie Pub Crawl.

What makes Franklin Street so special? Word says it’s the sense of community. “For so many of the businesses, the owners are right behind the counter when you walk in,” she says. “You get a sense of the past, and where you’ve come from.

You don’t get that everywhere, you know?

I think downtown Newburgh, Ind. — they have a sense of that.”

An Evansville native, Word purchased Lamasco Bar and Grill, 1331 W. Franklin St., five years ago, buying it from her aunt. “It’s been here since July 10, 1934,” she says of what she says was the first bar on Franklin Street and one of the oldest bars in the county after the end of Prohibition.

Her family has strong Evansville connections. Her mother is Sandra Vezzoso-Andrews, and her great-uncle John Vezzoso ran the Board of Public Works for many years. Her uncle Joe Vezzoso was at one time the president of the Evansville Convention and Visitors Bureau and is now the general manager of the French Lick Casino and Hotel. Her grandfather, Joe Vezzoso Sr., owned Allied Steel, a large Midwest construction company that was located on Franklin Street in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. “So I have some of my own personal history on Franklin,” she says. “And then, being able to see what an iconic street it is in town, I had a vision for it, as well.”

The Franklin Street Events Association has garnered such community buzz that Word says more events are scheduled in the future. A large gumbo cook-off is planned on Feb. 22. For $10 per ticket, participants can sample all the gumbos, she says, and all proceeds will benefit non-profits. Tickets are for sale at businesses on Franklin Street.

The next Mardi Gras Franklin Crawl will take place on Feb. 28. On March 1, the Franklin Street Events Association will have its first-ever grand parade at 4 p.m. from the Wabash Avenue of Flags to St. Joseph Avenue. It will follow the exact same route as the West Side Nut Club Festival Parade.

“The West Side Nut Club has been such a great group to model after, in some ways,” Word says. “I love that concept of putting private and public enterprises together for the benefit of everybody.”

More volunteers are needed to help make these events a success. “Sometimes, plugging in and helping in your community is the greatest thing you can do,” she says. “It is hard to preach it if you haven’t done it before.”

sic director of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra in 1989, the orchestra was stable and well established, but very different from what we see today.

The Philharmonic performed in The Old National Banks Events Plaza, or what is formally known as the Vanderburgh Auditorium, which was the only venue in Downtown Evansville at the time. To compete with the other entertainment venues that would later come to the city, Savia worked to create stability to his personnel and diversity in the programming.

Twenty-five years later, it’s time for a celebration.

A silver celebration, that is. The 11th and final production of Savia’s Silver Season, which began Sept.

28, 2013, will be May 18.

Originally from Livingston, N.J., Savia graduated from Butler University’s Jordan College of Fine Arts.

love with Evansville native Kitty Parsons, a violinist at Butler. They were married in 1976, after college. They share the same passions for music and the Philharmonic after 37 years of marriage.

When Alfred and Kitty Savia moved their family to Evansville in 1989, they bought a house on the East Side, where they raised their two daughters, Laura, 31, and Juliana, 27.

“My parents live here, and we brought Alfred’s parents here,” Kitty says. “It literally became home for all of us.”

“Like any institution, you have your milestones and your challenges,” Alfred says. “We’ve been able to keep the ship afloat and that’s something a lot of other orchestras can’t say the same, and we’ve been able to grow and expand artistically.”

Each of the 11 concerts brought in for Maestro Savia’s Silver Season incorporates some aspect of the previous 25 years.

“I chose a lot of pieces that I have personal connections to,” Alfred says. “There are orchestral works themed around three of my favorite cities in the world — Paris, Prague, and Rome. We’re also bringing in some of the artists who have been some of my favorites.”

Returning for Savia’s Silver Season Musical memories: Top left, Maestro Alfred Savia conducts a show during the 2008 Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra season.

are Gospel Night and the fully staged opera. He calls the opera, which he brought to the Victory Theatre more than a decade ago, “one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my tenure.”

The season was kicked off in September with the Silver Soiree, a fundraising event for the Philharmonic that served as a celebration of Alfred. Many special tributes were presented in Alfred Savia’s honor, such as a specially made podium and an “Alfred Savia Day,” as proclaimed by Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. Representatives from the governor’s office, past presidents of the Philharmonic Board of Directors, family and friends from New Jersey, and past friends and coworkers from Indianapolis and New Orleans were in attendance to celebrate this honor with Alfred and Kitty.

“A lot of people I didn’t expect surprised me,” the maestro says. “I felt rather stunned.”

Kitty says it’s very unusual for a conductor to remain with a single orchestra and that Alfred has enhanced its great reputation.

“He is a big picture person,” Kitty says of her husband. “He has a vision of what he wants the orchestra to be, and he has gotten the chance to make the orchestra so great.”

Under his leadership, the Evansville Philharmonic has expanded its activities to include a comprehensive Youth Orchestra program. It also incorporated the Philharmonic Chorus in 1993 and the Eykamp String Quartet in 2007. Partnerships with the Owensboro Symphony, the Evansville Museum of Arts and Sciences, the Evansville Ballet, and the University of Evansville have developed excellent community relationships for the Philharmonic.

WHAT WE like

Mission Accomplished Local residents find strength and inspiration in serving the less fortunate Many Christians understand the Gospel challenge to feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty. Some Christians in the Tri-State know they may also be called to care for orphans, clean teeth, heal animals, or dig latrines. When such a call is heard, some just can’t say no.

“A friend called and said she heard we were selling our house and becoming missionaries,” says Robin Lannert of Evansville. She laughed at the comment because she and her husband Dennis were not planning any such thing. But then, “We got off the phone and God wouldn’t let it go. Were we supposed to sell our house?

It didn’t make sense. Finally after about a month we put our house on the market and it sold in just a few days.” They then bought a smaller house and began to make big plans.

The Lannerts had previously connected with Global Outreach Missions.

Later this year, they plan to move to the Central American country of Belize. Robin Lannert, a dental hygienist with 30 years experience, will be working at a new dental clinic. Dennis Lannert will be working among people in the community and overseeing a micro-loan program.

Robin Lannert recalls the day Dr. Charles Kendall asked his dental staff if anyone would like to go to Myanmar. “I had never heard of Myanmar before,” she says. “But I knew God called me to go. I was hooked from that first trip in 2006.”

Many more trips followed that first one.

She and her husband have traveled with teams as small as 12 people and as large as 40 people or more. “I have traveled with Uncharted International to Myanmar, General Baptist International to Honduras, The Turning Pointe UMC to Guatemala, and Global Outreach Missions to Costa Rica and Belize,” Robin Lannert says.

“We have paid for most of our mission trips but God has certainly blessed us many times with people who support 92 EVANSVILLE CITY VIEW 2014

us financially and help to defray the cost,” Robin Lannert says. Many people who go on mission trips are supported financially by others. “Each of these people (she calls them ‘go-ers and senders’) are equally important to completing the task of taking the message of Christ into all nations.”

People can sponsor an orphan for $35 a month, says Geoff Bunting, director of operations for Uncharted.

He says the biggest blessing for mission volunteers “comes in the relationships they are able to build, especially with the kids at the orphanages, the feeling of be-

ing able to give back, and the big dose of perspective that comes when they see how loving and joy-filled the orphans and orphanage leaders are in spite of living very simple, humble lives.”

Bunting says the biggest challenge is “the culture shock of being away from home and all of the things that are familiar and comfortable, and being in a place where people look different, speak a different language, have different values, and eat different food.”

Robin Lannert says the challenge could even include being served a meal of rat or

dog. But she laughs and says, “Don’t say to God, ‘where you call me I will follow, unless you are willing to say, ‘what you feed me I will swallow.’”

Work on a ministry team varies. “I typically help with the dental team,” Robin Lannert says. “I have cleaned teeth under trees and in small dental clinics.” Dennis Lannert typically has been part of a construction crew. Other team members provide Vacation Bible School for children, medical, and dental outreach in orphanages or in poor and underprivileged villages.

“Of course, construction and medical and dental care are ways of showing Christ’s love by taking care of physical needs,” Robin Lannert says, “but underlying it all is the real reason we go, which is sharing the Gospel to those who may not have ever known the message of Jesus as our Savior and the hope we have in him.”

Veterinarian Dr. Dan and Virginia Grimm draw a similar conclusion, with an account of a woman who needed assistance following a destructive flood in Bolivia. When help arrived, the woman said, “Because you came, I know God loves me.”

The Grimms, members of Christian Fellowship Church in Evansville, are among the founders of GATHER Network Inc., an acronym for Gospel, Agriculture, Technology, Hospitality, Education, and Resource Optimization. Others include Marty Finney, an Evansville agronomist and former owner of Daylight Farms, and Don and Marilyn Wilson from Branson, Mo. The Grimms spend two or three weeks in the lowlands of Bolivia, two or three times a year. They connect with some 150 churches from their base, a 65-acre farm near Santa Cruz. Their staff in Bolivia includes a physician, an agronomist, a Bible school graduate, and a bookkeeper-office manager.

In Bolivia, Virginia Grimm facilitates meetings in a process she calls appreciative inquiry. When people report a problem, “We don’t bring a solution,” Virginia Grimm says. “We help them identify their strengths and their resources, so that they themselves determine what can be done.” Some solutions are relatively easy, such as building a bridge high enough above a flood-prone stream. Other problems are much more difficult, such as solving problems with preteen-pregnancies. Typical problems are the

The Grimms say that GATHER’s approach to fill the need for trained pastors and lay leaders involves a six-year cycle of Bible training on Trans World Radio, with volunteer tutors assisting the students.

Dan Grimm first went to Bolivia with the Christian Veterinary Mission, an organization that understands how livestock plays a central role in the livelihood of many families in developing nations — that chickens produce eggs to eat and more to be sold for grocery money and how goats provide milk for growing children. A donkey brings goods to market to sell. A herd of cows is almost like a bank account. A healthy animal can be the difference between life and death for an entire family. As their own GATHER ministry grows, the Grimms have expanded their mission work into Central Asia and Africa.

Mission work is not easy. Making the commitment is “the hardest thing we’ve ever done,” says Robin Lannert. She and her husband — who have aging parents, two married sons, and a six-month old granddaughter — are nearing retirement age at a time when many people would be trying to build their retirement income.

She and Dennis Lannert feel “humble, scared, and a little crazy” to be going on mission, but it is where their faith comes in. “This is not a good time,” she says, “But it is God’s time.” Robin Lannert says she and her husband plan to live in Belize “at least three years or until God tells us to come home.” CV

Mission Possible Uncharted International Inc. is an Evansville-based non-profit missions organization, begun almost 20 years ago as a ministry of Bethel Temple Community Church. Uncharted was incorporated as an independent 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization in 2010, allowing partnership with local businesses, churches, and individuals. In 2013, more than 200 Tri-State residents participated in Uncharted’s mission trips. In all last year, volunteers gave more than 15,000 hours.

Trip volunteers help care for children in orphanages, restore victims of human trafficking, take on construction projects to provide clean drinking water and improve sanitation, safety, and overall living conditions, provide education to street kids, and generally do what they can to help people become self-sufficient. Mission trips began in Myanmar and today include China and Afghanistan.

Mission teams take clothing and supplies to Myanmar and return with products for the Loom House shop and other “Fair Trade” crafts sales. The Loom House in Myanmar employs 15 young women who are skilled in making blankets, scarves, dresses, purses, and jewelry, according to the website. Loom House provides opportunities for former orphans to make “Fair Trade” label items that are sold back in the Tri-State. They also may access a micro-finance program that empowers entrepreneurs.

The photographs of the entrées behind the counter do not do this food justice. Everything is made from scratch every day. The Gyros ($7.41/ combo) are a fan favorite. So are the Vegetarian Falafel ($6.75/combo), the Baba Ghannoug ($5.50/large), and the Stuffed Grape Leaves ($3.75). The Turkish coffee ($3.50) is made by adding the water to the coffee instead of filtering the water through the coffee. To add to the unique flavor, it is brewed in a brass pot and poured into a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. The coffee is served with a little sugar and cardamom for spice.
