Deadline near for mural project The Jeffersonville Public Art Commission is seeking submissions for its latest project to create a mural on a floodwall in the Rose Hill Neighborhood.

The mural will be installed at the top of the Mulberry Street floodgate storage unit, according to the commission’s website.

The chosen design will be painted by the artist on a weather resistant substrate with appropriate outdoor paints that will be provided by the commission.

This structure “holds within its currently vacant aerial canvas the ability to set the feel for our community and guests coming or going,” the website stated, adding that the commission is looking for designs that are unique yet visually flow with the area.

The project allows for the opportunity to highlight the community and its connection to Big Four Bridge and Big Four Station, the park at the foot of the bridge.

Dimensions of the mural are 8-feet tall by 16-feet wide; it can be painted

Savor Southern Indiana winemaking at

BY JASON THOMAS jason.thomas@newsandtribune.com ORDEN — Wine enthusiasts can sip the best Southern Indiana has to offer with the Uncork the Uplands event at Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards on Saturday, July 25.

The fifth annual wine tasting and food noshing highlights wineries associated with Indiana Uplands, a federally recognized grape-growing region — known as an American Viticultural Area — in southcentral Indiana.

Plenty of culture — and wine — will be had at Uncork the Uplands with nine wineries each supplying six different samples. International food stations will pair victuals with vino; live music will be played inside and outside; and tours will be offered of Huber’s various vineyards, orchards and brambles, as well as a intimate view of the winemaking process and Starlight Distillery’s stillhouse.

Eight of the nine wineries are members of the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail, so Uncork attendees can expect quality tastes, said Jim Pfeiffer, president of Indiana Uplands and owner of Turtle Run Winery in Corydon.

“You’ve got close to 200 years of winemaking experience between us,” Pfeiffer said. “The other thing people will get from this event is the wide depth and complexity of wines. They’ll be able to taste so many styles and things like that.”

Wine fans also can get up close and personal with the grapes that will one day be turned into magic juice.

“They’re going to be going out into the vineyards and orchards and having discussions on what exactly is going on with those plants at that particular time and how we’re working with those plants to make very tasty beverages later

Huber’s, with more than 150 years of contributing to Indiana’s agritourism industry, offers a pastoral setting to sip samples of Southern Indiana’s wine.

“Obviously this is an ideal location to showcase everything that is wonderful about wine in Indiana,” said Lise Kruer, wine club manager at Huber’s, which is hosting the

“Of course truffles go great with wine,” Kruer said.

Uncorked, though, is about more than just grape juice with a kick.

Participants can take a tour of the recently opened 20,000-square-foot Starlight Distillery stillhouse to get a glimpse of the spirit-making process.

“While not wine-related, that sort of shows the future of wine and spirits in Indiana,” Kruer said. “Several wineries and new distilleries are opening all across Indiana that represent the changing face of agritourism as it relates to entertainment. We feel very strongly not just about making wine or spirits but it’s about growing the products we sell to our customers.”

Also, wagon tours will trek visitors out to various destinations on Huber’s’ property to see not just grapes but different kinds of fruit that go into its wines. Guests can also stroll through the production facility at Huber’s to see how wine makes its way to the shelf, from harvest to bottling — all done at the winery.

“Attendees will get a chance to see all aspects of agritourism and agribusiness that way,” Kruer said.

Wine, food, chocolate: Pfeiffer anticipates a high-class affair.

“I think what people will find is a very classy event,” he said. “It’s going to be a very nice event.”

sip, saVor aNd stroll JEFFERSONVILLE — The seventh annual Wine Walk & Shop will be held Friday, July 10, in Historic Downtown Jeffersonville.

“Downtown Jeffersonville is an amazing place and this event offers people a great opportunity to sample foods and regional wines while exploring all the area offers,” Ellis said in an email. “From

the many locally owned shops and historic architecture to the new photo murals and welcome arch, downtown Jeffersonville presents a genuine sense of place.”

A benefit to help battle cancer A fundraiser will be held Saturday, July 11, to benefit research into neuroblastoma and other childhood cancers.

Zac and Kelly Brooks are organizing the family-friendly event after their son, Walker, was diagnosed with cancer as a 3-month old.

The benefit will be from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 11, at The Rusty Bucket and Venro, 934 Main St., Charlestown.

Creekside will give a life concert and there will be a cornhole tournament ($40/team); a raffle for over 30 items that include HomeFit package ($300 value), Mega Cavern package ($198 value), event tickets (Holiday World, Newport Aquarium, Science Center), event tickets and more.

All proceeds will benefit CureSearch to help find a cure for childhood cancer.

“Without the CureSearch the doctors wouldn’t have had the protocol to treat my son and he would have suffered,” Brooks said in a news release.

“We also learned that the CureSearch is grossly underfunded. That is why my wife and I started Walker Brooks’ CureSearch team, Team Walker’s Warriors, to help raise money for CureSearch so that they may find a cure for neuroblastomas and other childhood cancers. My wife has been the heart of

After six months of chemo and many surgeries, Walker started down the path to remission at 9 months old.

We just celebrated his second birthday at the end of May where he was

running around with his older brother as if he was never involved in such a battle,” Brooks said. “Unknowing to him that he was also celebrating being just over a year cancer free.”

JEFFERSONVILLE — An employee of Red Carpet Liquors in Jeffersonville was shot during an attempted robbery Saturday night.

Jeffersonville police reported Patel Kamleshkumar, 41, of Jeffersonville, was shot multiple times about 8 p.m.

Kamleshkumar was shot by the

masked gunman, said another employee, Loretta Banister, of Clarksville, who witnessed the incident.

Banister said she and Kamleshkumar were both working when the gunman entered the business on Crestview Court and 8th Street.

She said she was in the back of the business retrieving several bottles to stock when she heard the doorbell that rings when the front

As she came from the storage area to the front of the business she saw the gunman with his arms stretched over the counter pointing a firearm at Kamleshkumar.

“I ducked down so he didn’t see that I was there,” Banister said.

She said she never got a good look at the suspect during the incident, but she could see from her crouched position his arms holding a gun pointed at her co-worker.

JEFFERSONVILLE — A group of Jeffersonville firefighters have returned from helping out with Hurricane Sandy recovery and said help there is ongoing.

Jeffersonville Fire Department Maj. Michael McCutcheon, Maj. Travis Sharp and Capt. Rick VanGilder spent nearly two weeks in Long Beach, N.Y., organizing relief efforts for the city of more

than 30,000 people following the October hurricane.

The work was more paper-filing than pulling people from homes, but their services were greatly needed as the entire four-mile long island had been covered by water during the surging storm.

JFD Chief Eric Hedrick said the need for relief services — after initial crews conduct search and rescue efforts — are often underestimated.

“After immediate response to save lives, there are still efforts needed for months and months,” Hedrick said.
