Welcome, fall N

ewburgh needs a presence in print and this magazine does exactly that! This publication has been around for more than a year now and you are still able to find the original spring/summer publication around. When the idea of a magazine was brought to me, I jumped at it. I thought it would be fun, but I had no clue how much work would be involved with this project. From talking with advertisers to getting the photos to getting the stories written, we at Warrick Publishing were up for the challenge and have succeeded with this publication. As the magazine has grown from infancy into the toddler stages, I have been challenged with business development. This challenge has taken me to numerous early morning network meetings starting in Newburgh and growing into the Owensboro and Evansville markets. Once the articles are written, the photos in place and the advertising all approved, we are ready for print. At that point the fun begins, distribution! I load up boxes and boxes and head to the businesses in the area to drop them off. The route varies, making sure each advertiser benefits from special events in the tri-state having access to the publication. For example, I make sure they are available at the Romain Golf Tournament in June and the Castle craft show in December. The east side of Evansville hotels have the fall magazines for the Frog Follie participants. As I make my way around Newburgh, people are always happy to see me out dropping them off. I often get thanked or asked if I can give one out of the back of my vehicle. This magazine has allowed me to meet new people and the local businesses are always happy to see me bringing more magazines in the door. If you have seen the magazine out and would like to have them available at your location, please call me at 812-897-2330 and I would be happy to drop them off and add you to my route.

hen Castle High School began its search for a new athletic director, the search ended with a familiar face. Brandon Taylor, the former Assistant Athletic Director under Leah Roop, was an ideal candidate to take over the position. Taylor, a Castle graduate in 2001, participated in wrestling, football and baseball during his high school tenure. After high school, Taylor attended Indiana University, where he studied math education. Taylor graduated from Indiana in 2005, after student teaching back home at Castle. During his time at Indiana, Taylor participated in an activity that gave his friends some ammunition for jokes. “I cheered at IU my freshman year,” said Taylor. “People give me a hard time about going from a three-sport athlete in high school to the cheer team at Indiana.” Taylor was a part of the cheer team during Indiana’s basketball national runner-up season in 2002. Although Taylor began teaching at Castle in 2006, he began coaching during his 2005 student teaching year. “I started coaching with the football team in 2005,” said Taylor. “I also started coaching middle school and high school wrestling as well. I have coached high school wrestling the past nine years and I coached middle school wrestling and football for seven years.” The past two years Taylor has been the assistant in the athletic department. Last winter when Roop was off during maternity leave, Taylor got a “trial run” in the office. “My first day in the office as acting AD it snowed,” said Taylor. “So I got a lot of practice when it came to cancelling games. But the time was a good experience in seeing how things ran on a daily basis.” Taylor said that moving from coaching to an

administration position will be a change for him, and that there are things that he will miss. “What I really love about coaching and teaching is building relationships with the kids,” said Taylor. “I enjoy the day to day interaction with the students. I am sure that will be a little different in this role.” Along with the position come new challenges, and Taylor understands that he has to face all that arise. “There are a lot of my high school coaches that I have to oversee now,” said Taylor. “These are now professional relationships and that will be a challenge. You also want to make everyone happy, but you can’t. Fortunately, I have good people I have been able to talk to, like John Evers and Kevin Davis at Boonville.” Outside of work, Taylor enjoys time spent with his family most. “I enjoy time with my wife and my three-year-old daughter,” said Taylor. “We spend a lot of time here at games. I think it is big for the kids to see teachers and administrators out at games supporting them. I also spend time with friends playing sports, including some softball with my church.” Taylor, as the head of the athletic department, has a number of goals for the years to come. “I want to see Castle High School succeed,” said Taylor. “I would like to see us win the SIAC AllSports Trophy. For us, that would be huge. I would love to hang some more state championship banners in the gym as well.” For the students and parents of the students, Taylor will no doubt have the best interests of the Castle athletic program on his mind. “I am an athlete at heart,” said Taylor. “I have no artistic ability, all I know are athletics and math. And I bleed blue and gold.”

henna Conway has had a lot of titles in her life. She’s been a wife, a mother, a soldier, a nuclear coder, a farmer, a teacher, a survivor, a dog trainer, a student and a scout leader, just to name a few. Her next adventure is veteran cyclist. Conway and her family — her husband, Kevin, and two sons, Jackson, 15, and Gunner, 10 — moved to Boonville five years ago after she medically retired from the Air Force. She was born and raised in Wisconsin, but had spent eight years in California with the Air Force and was ready to get back to her Midwestern roots. She spent 12 years in the Air Force, 10 years as a nuclear coder and the final two as a general’s aide. As a general’s aide, she was in charge of his home — she cooked his meals, did all of his grocery shopping, took care of his home office, took care of his home, mowed his yard, took care of his uniforms. She was also in charge of all of his entertaining, which included thenCalifornia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Nancy Reagan and parties of 300 each Christmas. The general requested that Conway never serve him the same dinner twice in the two years she was there. “Those two years were harder than the other 10 years combined,” she said. “It was insane.” In 2005 at the age of 26, Conway suffered a stroke. It left the muscles of her face numb and her speech labored. It changed her plan completely. “I was going to stay in the Air Force for the full 20 years and then retire, so I fought to stay in the Air Force after I had the stroke,” she said. “I fought for almost three years... But it turned out beautifully. I get to stay home with my sons. We homeschool our sons. We’ve been doing that since we got here. Everything has just been insanely perfect.” After Conway was released from the Air Force, the family moved back to Wisconsin for a month. Her husband, Kevin, found a job with the Federal Aviation Administration out of Evansville, so they came to the area one weekend to look for a home. While on their way to an appointment, they happened upon a house hidden on a hill. There was only a small “For Sale By Owner” sign at the end of a long driveway. “We lived in Germany for three years, as well, because I was in the Air Force, and this house reminded us, just pick it up out of Germany and put it in the woods of Boonville,” she said. “We fell in love with it and bought it that weekend.” The home has plenty of space for another of Conway’s passions, The Shepherd Hobby Farm. Two weeks after they moved in, a mother cat had kittens in the barn. She said she had every intention of finding them good homes, but that is not an easy thing to do in southern Indiana. So, she had them all spayed or neutered and kept them as mousers. They brought their dog, Katja, a German Shepherd that had been with them since their time in Germany. Soon, her boys asked

for some pet rabbits, then there were a couple horses. Next came the chickens, which numbered 150 at one point in time. While Conway has a passion for all animals, she has a special affinity for goats. “I don’t know why we ended up getting a goat, but we got a goat, a little Nigerian dwarf goat named Elliott,” she said. “He’s out there. Then we thought he needed a buddy, so we got him a buddy.” Every time her husband would travel for work, Conway would add to her herd. “Every time he went on a work trip, to spite him a little bit, I would get a new animal,” she said. “Usually, it was a goat. It got to be a running joke. Every time he would go on a trip, I would get a new animal. So then it became habitual.” Conway has added guineafowl to control ticks, another horse (one passed away) and three additional dogs. She said it’s hard for her to resist a cute face, particularly on one goat buying excursion. “You know when you’re going through the Walmart checkout aisle where there are candy bars and impulse buys? So, I got two sheep, Moe and Molly, and a goat,” she said. Conway regularly has groups and individuals visit the farm during Farm Days. This allows people to come in and experience what it takes to live on even a small farm. While she loves teaching others, Conway said that both Farm Days and taking animals to schools teaches her sons just as much. In fact, Conway said that her homeschooling curriculum is mostly life-based. She uses as many outlets as she can for learning opportunities. But, between all the wife, mother, farm and other duties, Conway has found the time to add yet another line to her to-do list. Three months ago, she and her husband started training for the California Coast Classic, a 525-mile bike ride along the California coast Sept. 13-20. The ride benefits the Arthritis Foundation. Kevin Conway did the ride eight years ago. Jhenna Conway said he’d been trying to get her to do it with him ever since. She just wasn’t a cycler, though. In fact, before they started training, her mountain bike that she previously had was still in pieces from their move to southern Indiana five years ago. She said it had been a decade since she’d ridden a bike. “We’ve never had a honeymoon,” she said. “We’ve been married 17 years, the boys are 15 and 10. He’s like, ‘This will be our first time away from the boys,’ just romanticizing 525 miles on a bicycle. So, in a moment of weakness (I agreed). I think he also promised a goat. I think I was edging for a goat at that time, another doe to breed, and I can’t promise you, but I think I got a goat.” So, they started training on the back roads of Warrick County. At first, she wasn’t able to go more than a couple

miles without wanting to go back home. Eventually, though, they worked up to 100 to 150 miles a week. “Taking a step back with this ride has been a great practice for me of trusting, not only God, but trusting my husband, to take care of me and to say, ‘Okay, this is what we’re doing,’” she said. The ride is spread out over eight days. The shortest day is 40 miles and the longest day is 90 miles. Eventually, all the riders converge about a mile from the ending point and cross the finish line together. The event is not a race, it’s a ride for a cause. Conway said that it’s hard to talk to anyone not directly or indirectly affected by arthritis. For her, it’s Kevin, who has arthritis in his neck, and her grandfather, who has rheumatoid arthritis. “A lot of the people who do this ride, their kids have juvenile arthritis or juvenile rheumatoid... You get some amazing stories from these riders who are riding for their kids or their nieces or nephews or even their grandkids,” she said. The ride is fully supported, which means they don’t have to carry their gear on their bikes with them. They’ll load their bag and tent on to a truck that will meet them at a predetermined ending point for the day. Some nights they’ll sleep on the beach. Others will be spent in a high school football stadium, others in parks. There is a shower truck and even one night near a laundromat. Dinner is catered at the campsite, while lunch is served on the road. Because it’s not a race, they can stop to rest or take photos or whatever they need to do at any time. “You’re not doing anything else during the day,” she said. “You’re just cycling from 7 in the morning until you get there in the afternoon. They’ve got guys who are like 80 years old participating in this ride and guys on unicycles. I’m thinking that if this is the case, I can do this.” Conway is still $1,000 away from her fundraising goal of $3,100 — the minimum required to participate in the ride. Her fundraising efforts will continue through Oct. 31. She has sold soaps she’s made with ingredients from her farm at local farmers markets, but said she’s happy to kick in the rest if needed. As with every other aspect of her life, she has faith that it will all work out. “All the credit goes to God,” she said. “We don’t take any of it. Everything was perfect, we just had to submit to his plan and we’d be good to go. And we have been. It’s just amazing how it has all lined up... It’s odd how when you just sit back and let go of the reins a little bit, it just all lines up.”

Bright smiles at an early age Hello! I am Dr. Ellen McGrath, a pediatric dentist new to the area practicing at Davenport, Brummer and Travis Pediatric Dentistry. I am originally from Madisonville, Ky., and graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2007 with a bachelor of science in agricultural biotechnology and again in 2011 with my dental degree (D.M.D.). I then traveled north to receive my specialty training at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. I married my best friend, Sean McGrath, in 2012, and we have one very furry child, our border collie-Labrador mix named O.P. (short for Optimus Prime, as my husband grew up a “Transformers” fan). We really enjoy hiking, bicycling and cheering on my Wildcats and his Broncos. Since completing residency in 2013, I have been working with Dr. Travis and Dr. Brummer in their Madisonville office and I am very excited to begin practicing here in Newburgh! Working with children on a daily basis, I am asked so many great questions by parents about their little one’s teeth. Some of the most common questions are: When should I take my child to the dentist? The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that a child should be seen by a dentist within six months of the eruption of the first tooth. For most children, that’s by 1 year of age. You may think this seems early, as many children are close to 3 before all baby teeth are in the mouth. However, it is important to see children early to make sure teeth are erupting normally, all of the soft tissues (gums, lips, hard and soft palate) are healthy and that proper hygiene and diet habits are being established to prevent tooth decay and abscess in the future. Even babies without teeth can benefit from wiping gums after feedings and brushing the few teeth they do have to stop early establishment of bad bacteria in their mouths. We might also need to talk about that nighttime bottle! I see too many children with decay (cavities) on every tooth from going to bed with a bottle or sippy cup of milk or juice. Many parents simply do not know how destructive this can be and the age one visit provides the education necessary to avoid harmful practices. My child is five years old. Isn’t this old enough to brush his teeth on his own? I think it’s great when a young boy or girl takes an interest in oral hygiene, and even better when toddlers love to hold and chew on their toothbrushes! But the truth is that children do not have the dexterity or hand control to be able to successfully clean their teeth by themselves until they are old enough to write in cursive or tie their shoes unaided. For many children, this is 7 or 8 years old. One of the biggest challenges is getting your children into a nighttime routine, but when it comes to dental health, it’s the most important! From an early age, having your child lie down, or lie back with his or her head in your lap is the best way for you to be able to successfully brush teeth. Do not be afraid to floss, starting even as toddlers. It is so important to get your children used to brushing and flossing, so they are more likely to continue good practices when they are older. And don’t forget a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste from ages 2 to 6, or whenever they can completely spit/rinse out after brushing. Isn’t “all-natural” juice better for my child than soda? While 100 percent fruit juice may be consumed up to 4 to 6 ounces per day with breakfast, from a tooth perspective, both liquids have an incredible amount of sugar that bacteria in the mouth love! When the bacteria that cause cavities metabolize sugar, they produce acid. This acid erodes enamel and creates an environment in which these bad bacteria thrive. Liquid sugar is liquid sugar, no matter the source. Children should drink water or sugar-free beverages between meals and white milk with meals. Try to leave as much of that colorful stuff on the shelves in the grocery store and save that money for a fun trip to the Mesker Park Zoo! If you have these or any other questions about your child’s teeth, be sure to come see me, Dr. Brummer or Dr. Travis. We look forward to seeing new bright smiles! 22

nce managing editor of the Newburgh Register, Rick Davis has taken many different directions and steps in his life, all of which led him back to the same building, 507 State Street. Only this time, he is a financial advisor for Edward Jones. In the spring of 1997, Davis became associate editor of the Newburgh Register in that building on State Street, before becoming managing editor of the Register and Boonville Standard a year and a half later. “I was 30 before I made $20,000,” said Davis, now 45. “I know how to stretch a dollar.” Davis, who went on to become assistant metro editor of the Evansville Courier and Press, said his most rewarding time in journalism was with Warrick Publishing. “Everyone was wonderful,” he said. A born and bred Evansville West Sider and 1987 Reitz High School graduate, Davis grew up with a natural distate for Castle High School. Covering a CastleMemorial football game for the Register in ‘97, Davis joked that he “was hoping for an earthquake.” But his dislike of all things Castle soon changed. “I was astonished by how much I enjoyed working with the people of Warrick County,” Davis said. In fact, one of the highlights of his journalism career was covering Tecumseh’s boys’ basketball team’s march to the Class A state championship in 1999. Although his grandfather, Russell Rohner, was a two-term Evansville City Council member in the 1960s and aunt Betty Lou Jarboe was a city council member from 1976 to 1979 and City Clerk from 1980 to 1991, Davis wanted no part of the political talk he heard at family gatherings. But that eventually changed. Married on Aug. 11, 2001, Davis eventually wanted to get away from working nights. “My wife (Julie) likes to point out that when I met her, I was just a sports reporter for the Henderson Gleaner,” he said. Davis became chief deputy in the Vanderburgh County Recorder’s office from November 2002 to Dec. 31, 2008 under Betty Knight Smith, whom he describes as a “local legend in Evansville politics.” He was elected county treasurer in 2008, taking office from Jan. 1, 2009 to Dec. 31, 2012. He lost a mayoral bid in 2011 to Republican Lloyd Winnecke and lost a bid for re-election as county treasurer to Susan Kirk in 2012. “I was taught early when you put your head on the chopping block, you have to be ready,” Davis said. “I hate to quote old coaches I used to interview, but you have to hope for the best and expect the worst.” He’s fond of saying that Myra Teal saved him twice. She offered him a job when she was publisher of the Newburgh Register years ago and was instrumental in him getting a job as a financial advisor with Edward Jones in January 2013 when she held a similar position. After leaving Warrick Publishing, Davis continued to use Teal as a reference and it paid off handsomely. “When I lost re-election for county treasurer, the next day I walked into the Civic

Center and it was a very dark day,” Davis said. “The next day, I received an offer from one of the big companies in Evansville. Myra called and offered me a job with Edward Jones. She saved me twice.” Davis, who shares an office with Teal, never brings up politics during a meeting with a client, but, invariably, it comes up. “It does help with name recognition,” said Davis, who proudly notes that he has run nine half-marathons. He laughed when he saw the previous issue of Newburgh Magazine, pointing out that the brother of Janet Stout, who was the issue’s main feature, was once married to Rick’s mother. Davis is proof that sometimes life really can come full circle. It’s ironic that he has an office in the same gray building on State Street as a financial advisor where he once was an editor for the Newburgh Register all those years ago. It seems that in the grand scheme of things, Davis was meant to work in Newburgh. Opposite page: Rick Davis. This page: Mementos in Rick Davis’ office | Emily May

Beat goes on The

[by Julie Rosenbaum-Engelhardt]

ohn Gillespie, newest member of the famed Beat Daddys, was thrilled when the band won first place at the Kentuckiana Blues Society International Blues Challenge (IBC) band competition in June in Louisville, Ky. They will represent the Kentuckiana Blues Society at the IBC finals in January in Memphis,

Tenn. “Winning the IBC and becoming the Kentuckiana Blues Society band representative in Memphis is important to the Beat Daddys,” said Gillespie, a Newburgh resident. “This year’s competition was very strong, including a prior year IBC finalist. The Kentuckiana win is a good jump start for the 2015 final competition and we are ready for Memphis.” “It’s a big deal,” added Beat Daddys lead singer and rhythm guitarist Larry Grisham. “It was the first time we had entered as a band.” Tommy Stillwell, the group’s lead guitarist who founded the band with Grisham in 1986, has played on and off with him ever since. The Beat Daddys were awarded the 2008 Kentucky Blues Award by Governor Steve Beshear and commissioned Kentucky Colonels. Stillwell and Grisham were pleased with the recent of addition of Gillespie as their bass player. “John is a well-seasoned and highly-motivated player whose personality and drive reﬂect the goals and ideals that Larry and I share,” Stillwell said. “With John on board, we are looking forward to the completion and release of our first studio CD in several years.” The Beat Daddys are working on their new CD, which they hope to have completed by the end of 2014. Gillespie and Stillwell appeared on Greg Martin of the Kentucky Headhunters’ “Lowdown Hoedown” radio show, previewing three cuts from the new CD. “The songs were very well-received by the listening audience,” Stillwell said. Gillespie, who grew up in Spanish Lake, Mo., a part of St. Louis County, graduated from Missouri-Rolla (now Missouri S&T) as an electrical engineer in 1978. Playing in various bands since high school, he moved around quite a bit and came to the Evansville/Newburgh area in 1998, working for Mead Johnson. “I had been here one year when they asked if I would be interested in an assignment in Mexico and I said, ‘Why not?’’’ After spending more than five years in Mexico City, Gillespie realized it was time to return to southwestern Indiana. “We ended up buying a home in Newburgh for a couple of reasons,” he said. “No. 1, it was the great reputation of Castle High School. No. 2, we liked the old Newburgh area feel. No. 3, we found a home that worked for us.” He said it was his son, Nate, who coaxed him into playing in a band professionally again. Nate is now a senior at Indiana University. “He is a guitar player and was getting to where he was wanting me to play with him at home,” Gillespie said. “I met a couple of local musicians that were interested in putting a new band together and asked if I would like to try it. Well, I did, and here I am. I haven’t stopped and haven’t looked back. I’ve played for several bands in the area, the last being the Boscoe France Band for a few years before 26

joining the Beat Daddys.” Gillespie said he knew that corporate America was not for him. “I had been planning an early retirement for some time,” he said. “It just worked out that as my music career has been moving forward, my old day job was coming to an end, and today, I play music full-time with the Beat Daddys.” After playing with Stillwell on various occasions, he was excited to join. “I really like working with Tommy and Larry,” Gillespie said. “They are very professional, great musicians and excellent songwriters. These are exciting times.” He isn’t the only member of the band with Newburgh connections. Grisham attended Castle in 1967 and ‘68, playing basketball and baseball for the Knights. He lived in Newburgh when the Beat Daddys started as a band in ‘86. He currently lives in Tennessee, but plans to return to Indiana or Kentucky in the near future. Stillwell had been living in Newburgh, but recently moved to Owensboro, Ky. Drummer Andy McChesney rounds out the group.

nstead of running to various locations for various tests, St. Mary’s Epworth Crossing in Newburgh offers a newlyexpanded, all-inclusive Breast Center. “We have a brand new, state of the art facility,” said Dr. Charles Lackey, medical director of St. Mary’s Breast Center. “We have more equipment with an increased capacity, plus we have a low turnover of staff.” More often than not, a woman can be getting her mammography from the same technician who she has been using for several years, which creates a comfort zone. From imaging to diagnosis, to surgery consultation and recovery, patients can receive most of their breast health services at one location. The Breast Center offers state-of-the-art bone density testing, which takes a three-point assessment of bone, fat and lean tissue in a single exam. A bone density test is considered the best way to determine your bone health. The Breast Center also offers breast ultrasound and 32

digital mammography, with results typically available on the same day. The mammography machines are now three-dimensional, which gives the technician and radiologist a much better view of what is going on in the breast. St. Mary’s Breast Center also provides a serene ambience for patients, with a soothing blue and green color scheme to help ease their anxiety, said Vickie Detroy, director of the Breast Center and Women’s Wellness. “We do a great deal to reduce anxiety,” Lackey said. “We’re able to do all of this within a short order.” St. Mary’s Breast Center doesn’t appear as cold and hospital-like as many other places. There is camaraderie among the staff, from the receptionists to technicians to nurses, who all seem to have special training in how to interact with patients. You feel a calming effect from the minute you walk in to speaking to the first person at the reception desk. This facility also includes convenient care, which used to be at a nearby location. Overall, St. Mary’s Medical Center was ranked by U.S. News and World Report tied as the No. 4 hospital in Indiana, which is the highest ranking in southern Indiana. It marks the second year in a row for the No. 4 ranking in the state, among approximately 150 hospitals. “This recognition is a reﬂection of the hard work and dedication of our medical staff and associates,” said Keith Jewell, President of St. Mary’s Health. Returning to breast health, Dr. Lackey is a calming inﬂuence. He appears laid back when he speaks to patients to ease their minds as much as possible. He said the stereotype of arrogant, condescending doctors is primarily a thing of the past. “Some of the older guys are like that,” he said. “In school, you learned how to treat people.” Lackey said the patients in the Midwest are much more trusting than those he treated in south New Jersey, where they appeared more confrontational, because they weren’t afraid to voice their opinions. “Occasionally patients would come in defiant and make outrageous statements,” Lackey said. “There was some antagonism. Here in the Midwest, people tend to be nicer to each other.” No woman goes in for their mammogram or any other major test without anxiety. Waiting to hear a result, one of the scariest statements she ever hears is “the doctor wants to see you.” However, when you are in Dr. Lackey’s care, he makes it crystal clear why he proceeding in a certain way. Although patients are often frightened and imagine the worst, Dr. Lackey has the ability to making you feel, if not less anxious, at least calmer.

alloween in Newburgh isn’t just a night or two of trick-or-treating, it’s a season. The Newburgh Civitan Zombie Farm will open Oct. 2. For the past 40-plus years, the Zombie Farm has been terrifying Newburgh each fall. But, when Junior and Senior Civitan club members aren’t decked out as the undead — and even when they are — they’re serving people less fortunate than themselves. The Zombie Farm got its start more than 40 years ago in downtown Newburgh. It has received numerous awards from Junior Civitan International. In fact, the club has been able to purchase its own building on Vann Road due to the Zombie Farm’s success. The promise of scaring peers and strangers alike may lure club members in, but the philanthropy keeps them coming back. Profits from the haunted house benefit charities like Special Olympics and the Civitan Research Hospital. Club members also wrap Christmas presents for needy children and help Easter Seals with its annual Fantasy of Lights.

Being scared senseless isn’t for everyone, though. That’s where the Historic Newburgh Ghost Walks come in. Picture downtown Newburgh in the 1800s. There’s no electricity, no hum of vehicles, not as much hustle and bustle. The mighty Ohio River brought a bit of mystery to the town. Factor in the Civil War and a river town on the north/south border, which led true northerners to allow escaped slaves hide in their homes night after night. Then there’s the underground mining that was prevalent in Newburgh’s early history. Of course, there’s also plenty of murder and mystery, something that haunts nearly every town. “The ghost walks is a blend of history, so you’re really learning something about this town and really about life in the 1800s,” HNI Executive Director Carol Schaefer said. “But, it blends that with some of the spookier legends. So while it’s not a spook house, jump out and scare you... or blood and gore, but rather it is something that can kind of make you think. Did that happen or not? I guess we’ll never know.” The Ghost Walks benefit Historic Newburgh, Inc., an organization dedicated to the vitality of downtown Newburgh. Historic Newburgh, Inc. has helped with the Riverfront Walkway, which is now connected to the Rivertown Trail, the Fortress of Fun playground, the trolley, the Veterans Monument and more. The group also sponsors the Wine, Art and Jazz Festival, Newburgh Fireworks Celebration, Holiday House Tours and Newburgh Celebrates Christmas. The Newburgh Civitan Zombie Farm will open Oct. 2 and continue each Thursday through Sunday in October and on Nov. 1. No-scare tours are offered from 6 to 6:45 p.m., with full-scare tours from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday and Sunday and 7 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children 10 and younger. T-shirts and concessions are available. For more information, visit zombiefarm. net. Ghost Walks will be held Friday, Oct. 17 from 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 18 from 5 to 9 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 19 from 5 to 8 p.m. Guided tours leave from Preservation Hall every 15 minutes and last about an hour. Two separate tours are offered — the Water Street tour, which features river lore, family legends, mystery and the sinking of the steam ship Missouri; and the State Street tour, which focuses on Newburgh history, the Civil War and more. The Rivertown Storytellers will tell scary stories Saturday evening. The stories are really scary and not recommended for anyone under 11. Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children 4 to 12 before Oct. 17 or $9 for adults and $5 for children after. For more information, call HNI at 812-853-2815. 38

6-4 record for many football teams is a sign of success, but for the Castle Knights, the record was a bit of a disappointment. “We expect a higher standard here,” said Coach Doug Hurt. “We are looking to improve that mark this season.” The Knights’ 2013 season and the abrupt end was due in part to the multitude of underclassmen that saw action. “We started anywhere from eight to nine sophomores last season,” said Hurt. “And even still two of our losses were to a really fine Terre Haute North team that won our sectional.” However, with the action those players saw last year comes valuable experience for this season. “Going forward with a team that has a lot of players that we are going to have for two more seasons, the future is really promising,” said Hurt. The action spent on the field and the work in the offseason has made the Knights look like a new team. “Last year we looked like a glorified JV team,” said Hurt. “This year we look night and day different.

matched with bodies that look like they should be playing at the 5A level.” The returning underclassmen that will lead the Knights into the next two seasons are primed for a big 2014 campaign. Quarterback Will Randell did some exciting things last year and will look to improve his game this season. But Randell has competition at the position in junior Eric Wilhite and sophomore Dayne Keller. Middle linebacker Mitchell Thornbury started every game last year as a sophomore and is bigger, faster and stronger coming into this season. The offensive and defensive lines are also expected to show strong improvement, as is the entire defensive backfield. “Across the board we have a lot of guys back,” said Hurt. “We hope that experience pays dividends for us this season.” The team will also look to the senior leadership to drive the team to success. Returning seniors Christian Peach, Turner Lockyear, Mason Wetzel, Jake Lamar, Brycen Ratcliffe, and Isiah Farmer and others are looking to finish out their high school career in a big way. “With the seniors and juniors we have coming back we are looking to make big things happen in 2014,” said Hurt. Being in the SIAC, the Knights will be battle tested by the time the postseason comes around. “With the competition in the conference, you don’t have any circle wins,” said Hurt. “We have a tough game every week. I really think that, having gone deep into the playoffs a few times, we have some of the best coaches in the state in this area, so by the time we get to the playoffs we feel we should really be playing our best at that time.” Improvement as the season advances is the main goal of the team and coaching staff. “Our main goal is to improve everyday,” said Hurt. “We really stress to the kids to focus on today, win this day and the rest will take care of itself. We don’t focus so much on the result, but we focus on the progress. We work on the goals of winning the conference or a sectional, but those goals are really secondary to improving each day.”

Battling [by Julie Rosenbaum-Engelhardt]

r. Samer Schuman compares fighting cancer to fighting a war — it’s a mindset. Now Warrick County and the whole area has its own powerful weapon against female cancer. The weapon comes in the form of Schuman and this means we have a much stronger fight and a much better chance of winning this deadly war. “When you hear you have cancer, you think it’s the end of the story, it’s the end of the road,” said Schuman, who works at the Deaconess Gateway Women’s Cancer Center in Newburgh and is the lone gynecologic oncologist in the tri-state. “You have to put yourself into fight mode. As a doctor, you have to help the patient, help with the mindset of beating cancer.” He tells patients half the battle is using drugs to beat cancer and “the other half is in here,” he said, pointing to his heart. “I encourage (patients) to be in fight mode from the beginning.” Schuman, a native of Lebanon, completed his OB/ GYN residency at George Washington University and a fellowship in gynelocologic oncology and breast surgical oncology at University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital. He was practicing at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Division of Gynecologic Oncology when he was lured to Newburgh by a friend, Dr. Constantine Scordalakes, an obstetrician/gynecologist at the Deaconess Gateway Women’s Hospital. “He started a year and a half before I came here (in January 2013),” Schuman said. Before Schuman’s arrival, many patients had to be sent to hospitals in places such as St. Louis, Louisville, Indiana University or Vanderbilt, said Lisa Hermerich, nurse practitioner and advanced oncology nurse with more than 20 years of clinical oncology experience. “He is probably the first one in a 150-mile radius,” 44

Hermerich said. In the past, some women still opted to have surgery here, but it wasn’t performed by a gynecologic surgeon. “Women in the Tri-State region have been able to receive quality surgical oncology care from gynecologists for many years,” said Becca Scott, Deaconess Community Engagement Coordinator. “Dr. Schuman’s extensive training has brought a new level of expertise that had not been present.” While some doctors are regarded as distant, Schuman is considered compassionate. “Nobody can teach that,” he said. “We learn what makes patients get on board to fight against cancer. It empowers a patient to have knowledge of what he or she is up against.” His wife, Mia Hindi, a gastroenterologist at Deaconess Gateway, first examined Sharon Brown, a Boonville woman, in November 2013. Brown was later diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She wasn’t surprised by her diagnosis because of her family history. “It’s pretty heart-wrenching for a woman to hear the word ‘cancer,’’’ Hermerich said. But she noted that treating cancer is much different than 15 years ago; it is no longer necessarily a death sentence. “I won’t say these type of cancers are curable, but I

will say that they are treatable,” Hermerich said. There was a time in which Brown was so weak she couldn’t even walk. “Lisa would sit all day with me,” Brown said. “In my last treatment, I told Dr. Schuman I didn’t think I could do it. He told me I had to.” Hermerich said she follows patients on their journey and it’s “immensely rewarding. We have a real strong bond.” The area where chemo is administered provides the comfort and privacy patients need. The areas are sectioned off; each one has its own television with room for relatives and friends to visit or accompany the patients for the entire treatment. No woman ever wants to hear the words “gynecological cancer,” whether it is cervical or ovarian or any other type. However, knowing that we now have a expert in the field enables us to get a diagnosis and treatment much faster, which could possibly save lives. 46

Driving force [by Reno Fontana]

n 2014, the Reverend “Tuff” Tim Baker officially and formally became an ordained minister after a solemn ceremony performed at the Wayside Chapel Church in Chandler. After first attending Christ for the Nations Institute Bible College in Dallas, Texas, in 1981, Tuff finally figured after 33 years it was time to take the leap into the ministry. As Tuff likes to point out, he sometimes needs to ponder a situation a few decades before making a final decision. But now that he’s decided to fully commit, Tuff is 100 percent dedicated. Within days of his ordination and receiving his pastoral credentials, he officially founded and licensed Living Joy Ministries. Reverend Tuff describes LJM as “A Battle Tested Christian Ministry Celebrating Life’s Victories!!” He has bought the domain name (www. livingioyministries.org) to develop a website, and has taken the first steps in forming his non-profit status. And in another sign that God’s plans and timing are always perfect, Jesus was 33 years old when he started his ministry, and Reverend Tuff started his ministry 33 years after attending Bible College. Tuff is also a fighter. He’s had to be. Tuff’s been literally fighting for survival since his first breath, and continues to fight the health challenges of his life that confront him every single day. After you get to the end of this impossible to believe but true story, you’ll understand how deserved and appropriate it is that Tim got the nickname “Tuff.” Tim is not just a fighter though, he’s a person with immeasurable joy in his spirit. Tim likes to tell others that the word “Joy” is mentioned in the Bible approximately 200 times. Tim believes his daily “Christian Joy Ride” is his way of showing the world his trust and faith in God is built on stone. It would be easy to understand after reading of Tim’s journey that if he were bitter and cynical, he would have every right to be so. But Tim is anything but negative. He’s a positive force of nature who is grateful for every set back in life, because he’s not only survived through adver-

sity most humans cannot even grasp or fathom, he has thrived. Tim is a giant of faith and stands solid as a mountain in his trust in God’s word. He is a battle tested warrior. He is a rock. Tim’s fight for life began the day he was born in November 1953 on Friday the 13th with Hemophilia, also known as the “Royal Blood Afﬂiction.” Hemophilia was given the nickname because members of the 19th Century British Monarchy and the Russian 20th Century Romanov Dynasty both had numerous royal descendants of their bloodline die of the disease. The danger to those afﬂicted with Hemophilia is that a seemingly simple small cut can cause a person to bleed out and die because their blood will not clot. People who were born with Hemophilia in the 1950s and ‘60s had a high mortality rate. Of all the other Hemophilia infected people like Tim born during that time, approximately 98 percent have died. Tim was dealt a bad hand when he was born, at least in the mind of most “normal” people. To his credit, Tim’s definition of normal, however, is Tim. It’s the rest of the people walking the earth who are disadvantaged and just not quite right in Tim’s opinion. If having a deadly and rare blood disease like Hemophilia wasn’t bad enough though, Tuff’s fight for life got even tougher in 1981. As a result of a blood transfusion that contained a newly developed clotting agent that was designed to clot Tim’s blood and help his survival chances in the event of an accidental cut, Tim instead was given tainted blood that contained the HIV virus. Unless one has been living on another planet since 1981, everyone knows HIV became an almost certain death sentence for those infected without much hope of a pardon in the 1980s and ‘90s. But Tim refused to die. Tim is viewed today by doctors from around the globe as a “medical miracle.” Tim is touted by his doctors as one of the longest living HIV survivors in the world, and possibly the longest living HIV survivor with Hemophilia. Incredibly, Tim has outlived 36 million people who have died from HIV since 1981, including his own brother and cousin who both also became infected with HIV through contaminated blood transfusions. Tim has lived through every imaginable setback a person could face in his HIV journey. Oh, and if you might somehow have the ridiculous notion that having Hemophilia for 60 years and HIV for the past 33 years, is so “yesterday” and really not that big a deal or newsworthy, you should also know Tim was infected in another blood transfusion with the deadly Hepatitis C virus, and now has type 2 diabetes “just for fun,” as Tim describes it. His doctors throughout his life have told Tim and his family on two dozen different occasions

from the time he was a 2 year old child that he would die in a matter of days Here’s Tuff’s take on that — current score: Tim 24, doctors 0. In his walk of faith, Tim has literally voiced thousands of times the Bible verse, “By his stripes, I am healed,” (Isaiah 53:5) and has steadfastly believed, without wavering or doubting, that he could survive the unsurvivable. And he has done just that! Yes, Reverend Tuff is a world class fighter. His armor is dented, gouged and torn, but the spears that have been thrown at him have been unable to penetrate his faith. Tim chose to listen to God’s word and promises instead of the opinions of man. Today, by the healing power of God, the HIV virus has vanished and is completely undetectable in Tim even when using the most advanced tests science has created. Tim’s body might appear frail and broken from a lifetime of battles against deadly diseases, but his spirit remains intact and undaunted. Tim has a speech impediment he’s working to correct and it makes his vocabulary a little hard to understand at first. But listen to him closely and you’ll learn in just a few minutes he’s a highly intelligent man with a wonderful sense of humor. Tim has never let having Hemophilia, HIV, Hepatitis C, or diabetes slow him down. Tim is a top-rated drag racer in his division at the Chandler Raceway in Chandler and has been racing at speeds up to 135 mph on the quarter mile race track for the last 40 years. This is one “Rev” that also likes to rev engines. Tim’s inspirational story promotes laughter when life might seem anything but funny. He offers encouragement in the ashes of failure, and provides hope when it seems all hope is lost. Unbelievably, Tim says living with life threating illnesses every moment of his existence has been a great blessing because of the millions of people worldwide he will now be able to inspire with his testimony through upcoming books, seminars and television appearances. Tim has fought, then defeated, all the negative and debilitating emotions you would expect any human with Tim’s malady’s to have felt. At one time in his battle with HIV, Tim’s weight dropped to just 97 pounds. Apprehension, worry, despair, depression, anger, doubt, shame, denial and ridicule have each been Tim’s companion at one time or another. The temptation to give up because he was just to exhausted physically and mentally to take another step forward, have all been part of Tim’s super human effort to overcome seemingly endless obstacles in his fight to survive. As a heterosexual man, Tim was subjected to derogatory and hateful name calling in the early years of HIV when HIV was thought to be only a “gay disease.” Tim had to explain to the uninformed he acquired HIV through bad medical products and further insisted that it didn’t matter if someone was gay or straight because no one deserved HIV. Reverend Tuff has walked a lot of ugly, difficult and scary miles in life. He can talk about being weighed down by 36 million to one odds that he would die. More so than most any other human on the planet, Tim’s daunting life experiences are simply unimaginable. But through it all, he has continued to press on and soar upward. He simply does not know the “Q” word. According to Reverend Tuff, “quit” is not a word he has ever spoken or even let cross his mind in his fight against HIV. Today, Reverend Tuff has the unique distinction of being one of only a handful of ministers on the globe, as best as internet research can determine, who lives with the HIV label. You will find it impossible to be around this courageous man without having a true feeling of joy and a sense that every problem can be overcome. Tim’s joy is evident in his joking, and he jokes often. Even when confronted with death, Tim has always faced his own mortality with a conquering spirit and stared down Satan knowing he will leave this earth when God is ready for him, and not a moment before. Tim points out that in 2 John 1:12 the Bible says, “I have much to say to you, but I don’t want to do it with paper and ink. For I hope to visit you soon and talk with you face to face. Then our joy will be complete.” Tim 50

wants to see you soon. Are you ready to meet Tim face to face and share in his joy? Tim’s overriding message for everyone is this: “Every day is a day not to waste! I’ve seen life from my deathbed on many occasions, and I’ve learned a great lesson. Live optimistically knowing faith in God can carry you through any hardship or darkness that may come your way. Do not live in fear.” To contact the Reverend Tuff Tim Baker, please call or text Laura Whittier, director of media events, at 760-464-8804 or email laurawhittier@yahoo.com.

Striking out [by Julie Rosenbaum-Engelhardt]

cancer

n my last trip to Busch Stadium in St. Louis, I interviewed three pitchers from various backgrounds who are all cool people, belying the image of the arrogant athlete. I had an interview set up with Jason Motte, now a set-up reliever who was the postseason closer on the Cardinals’ 2011 World Series championship team. Jason promotes cancer awareness through his foundation, “Strikeout Childhood Cancer.” In baseball scorekeeping, “K” indicates a strikeout. Likewise, Motte’s foundation uses a “K” on its “Strikeout Childhood Cancer” T-shirts. Though he started his professional career as a catcher, he was converted to a pitcher to take even more advantage of his strong right arm. His “Strikeout Childhood Cancer” foundation has spread to all major league teams. The shirts are the colors of the teams. Skip Schumaker, a former Cardinal and Los Angeles Dodger and current Cincinnati Red, originally distributed shirts in red. Most players wear these T-shirts around the clubhouse and other places. A foundation called “108 Stitches” makes up the shirts. “We may be enemies on the field, but we are all brothers in projects like this,” Motte said. He has different color bands on his wrist at all times for all types of cancer and a special one for a 9-yearold boy he had become friends with who lost his battle with the disease. At least $10 from each shirt goes to cancer causes, including St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, the home town of Motte’s wife, Caitlin. “Helping these sick kids is very important to me and the other guys,” Motte said. He is very grateful to have a beautiful little girl named Margaret Morgan; he and Caitlin call her “M.M.M.” for her first, middle and last name. He and his wife have

homes in Memphis and St. Louis. Jon Lester, formerly of Boston and now with Oakland, was his team leader of “Strikeout Childhood Cancer.” A.J. Ellis has his team in blue T-shirts because that is the Dodgers’ color. Besides being an outstanding reliever, Motte is a really good person who gives back. Like Motte, Trevor Rosenthal was not originally a pitcher. The Cardinals had the foresight to see Rosenthal, who primarily played shortstop at Cowley County (Kansas) Community College, had such a strong arm that he should be a pitcher in the pros and now he is one of the best closers in all of baseball. “Mike Matheny is a great manager and is very intense,” Rosenthal said. “I have learned much by playing for him.” When the game is in the final innings and the Cardinals have a slim lead, fans feel pretty secure when Trevor takes the mound. I enjoyed interviewing him because he was all smiles and no attitude. Rosenthal is the antithesis of the arrogant professional baseball player. He acts like you are doing him a favor by asking him about his career. Because it was “Evansville Day” at Busch, the University of Southern Indiana baseball team was honored for winning the NCAA Division II national baseball championship last spring. One of the heroes of the Eagles’ title run was Castle High School graduate Ben Wright, who won two games in the Division II World Series. “It was a team effort and (coach) Tracy Archeluta was instrumental in making sure we got it right,” Wright said. Motte, Rosenthal and Wright give their all to the game and their teams and prove they are not just really good athletes, they are good people. 54

he Isaac Miller Music Matters Endowment Fund was set up after a tragedy, but is designed to bring smiles to the faces of countless local children. Isaac Miller, the 4-year-old son of Amy and Matt Miller, both Warrick County natives. He battled nonHodgkin’s Lymphoma, but lost his fight on April 27, 2012. The family decided to turn their sadness into something that benefits the community. The November after Isaac passed away, the first Isaac’s Day of Music was held. All the proceeds went into the Isaac Miller Music Matters Endowment Fund set up through the Warrick County Community Foundation. Eventually, that money will be distributed to groups or organizations looking to bring music to young children. The next Isaac’s Day of Music will be held Sunday, Nov. 9 at First Christian Church in Newburgh. “We have children-based musical groups, we have full-choral musical groups from local schools, we have barbershop quartets and an Irish band, duos and even ballet performances sometimes,” said family friend Amanda Scurry. “Every year is a little bit different. We’ve even had a belly dancing performance.” There are also booths set up around the gym offering everything from crafts to an “instrument petting zoo.” The silent auction features many donated items from around the community. “Isaac’s father is from Newburgh, but his mother is from the Dale area. Then, of course, we have all the Evansville support in addition to Newburgh, so we have a huge silent auction.” Scurry said that the first beneficiary from the fund will be announced soon, probably before Isaac’s Day of Music. “They have an idea of who they want to give it to, it’s just the matter of going through the formal process through the community foundation and making that happen.” To keep track of the silent auction items and the various performances on tap for the event, follow The Isaac Miller Music Matters Endowment Fund on Facebook.
