HOOSIER HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS: Indiana Adopts a Constitution

0

June 27 – July 3

The Week in Indiana History
Corydon

1816     The first Indiana State Constitution was adopted by the legislature in the state capital of Corydon.  The 43 delegates had met for nearly three weeks to create the document which was an integral step to statehood.  Among other provisions, the constitution prohibited slavery and recommended a public school system.  Pictured:  The Statehouse in Corydon.  
monument1863     The Civil War Battle at Gettysburg ended with a Union victory. Approximately 2,200 Indiana men were engaged from the 3rd Cavalry and 7th, 14th, 19th, 20th, and 27th Infantry Regiments.  The 19th was part of the famous “Iron Brigade.”  Over one-quarter of the Hoosier soldiers at Gettysburg were killed or wounded.  Pictured:  The Indiana monument on the Gettysburg battlefield.  
books1886     The Western Association of Writers met at Plymouth Church in Indianapolis.  Many Indiana authors were in attendance, including Maurice Thompson, who was elected the group’s first president.  Over the years, the organization included James Whitcomb Riley, Sarah Bolton, Meredith Nicholson, Booth Tarkington, Mary H. Catherwood and others who were part of the “Golden Age of Indiana Literature.”
Bryan1923     Famed orator William Jennings Bryan came to the Gennett Record Company in Richmond, Indiana.  He recorded excerpts of his famous “Cross of Gold” speech.  The Richmond studio is a legendary part of jazz history.  For more, see “Did You Know?” in the right column.
Miller1940     The popular Glenn Miller Band played one-night only at the Ideal Beach Ballroom at Shafer Lake in Monticello.  The band, rated number-one by Billboard Magazine, dominated record sales and plays on radio and jukeboxes.  Their recording of “In the Mood” was at the top of the hit parade for 1940.
Jimison1943     Zilthia Mae Jimison was born in Indianapolis.  She attended law school and became the first African American woman to serve on the Marion County Superior Court.  She was on the Indianapolis city council and, in 1995, was a candidate for mayor.  She established the drug treatment court and was active in many civic organizations.

Hoosier Quote of the Week

 quote

“There is no royal flower-strewn path to success.  And if there is, I have not found it, for whatever success I have attained has been the result of much hard work and many sleepless nights.”

– – – Madam C. J. Walker (1867 – 1919)

Madam C. J. Walker’s cosmetics business in Indianapolis made her the first self-made woman millionaire in America.

Gennett

Did You Know?

     The Gennett Recording Studio was established in Richmond, Indiana, by the Starr Piano Company.  The first records were released in 1917.  The studio was near a railroad track and sometimes a recording session was ruined by a passing train.  For soundproofing, a mohawk rug was placed on the floor and drapes and towels were hung on the walls.  Many young jazz artists, ignored by other record companies, were welcomed at Gennett.  That was where many big names got their start, including Louis Armstrong, Hoagy Carmichael, Jelly Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbecke, Earl Hines, and Duke Ellington.   In addition, the studio was available to performers of other musical styles including blues, country, and gospel.  The company faltered during the Great Depression, but it is revered today for its role in capturing for posterity the broad landscape of American music in the early 20th Century.

Meet A 24-Year-Old With Zero College Debt

0
Steve Thorne’s love of machining grew out of the desire to pursue a hands-on profession that also serves as a creative outlet.
The 2017 Vincennes University graduate had a clear idea of what he wanted to do in life.
“I wanted a career where I was able to use my brain and have a little creative freedom,” he said.
However, the Valparaiso, Indiana, native was less clear about how to go about achieving his dreams until being introduced to VU’s Precision Machining Technology program.
Precision machining is a highly skilled occupation in which raw materials are machined and transformed into specialized industrial tooling.
“I was not going to go college until I discovered that Vincennes University had a machining program and that you could go and get a degree,” Thorne said. “A degree is so important, especially these days. If it wasn’t for Vincennes University having a program, I don’t know if I would have gone to school.”
As a VU student, Thorne designed items such as a putter head for a golf club and a clock featuring multiple three-dimensional surfaces.
“With 3D surfaces being our only requirement, we were allowed complete creative freedom to design the clock however we wanted,” Thorne said. “It was awesome to see what all of my classmates could design in their head and be able to machine a one-of-a-kind finished product.”
The training and skills he learned at VU have helped him achieve impressive success early in his career. Thorne was able to purchase a home in 2018 at the age of 22. He recently started a management position making more than $70,000 at Union Electric Steel in Valparaiso.
Thorne graduated from VU with not one but two associate degrees. He was accepted into the accelerated Advanced CNC Machining and Programming degree program after completing his Precision Machining degree. The Advanced CNC Machining and Programmingdegree offers an additional 500 hours of hands-on CNC education in a 14-week summer session.
VU offers the most extensive Precision Machining Technology program in Indiana. It is unique in it is one of only a few programs in the nation that offers specialized training in manual machining, CNC (computer numerical control) machining, metal stamping die, and plastic injection mold building.
“There’s a lot of big machine shops that will pay you very well, and they know exactly what Vincennes University is and exactly how they train,” Thorne said. “As soon as they see Vincennes University on a resume that gets attention.
“That is kind of what happened for me to acquire my current position. They saw Vincennes University twice on my resume, and they decided to give me a call.”
Not only did Thorne earn two VU degrees, but he also graduated without debt. He received a scholarship from Task Force Tips, which manufactures firefighting products, that covered his entire college education with the requirement he work for the company after graduation, which he did.
“Stephen was a fine student and was well-liked by his peers,” VU Precision Machining Technology Professor Jonathan Vennard said. “He would work collaboratively with other students on projects and always carried himself as someone who could work well with others, and in turn lead when needed.”
The Precision Machining and Advanced CNC Machining programs are what Thorne loved the most about VU, but he happily embraced other activities and experiences.
Residing in a living-learning community at Ebner Residence Hall connected him to amazing friends. It was also perfect living in the same building that houses the College of TechnologyCenter where classes for his major were held.
“I came to appreciate the University and the city of Vincennes,” Thorne said. “Me being very much into history, Vincennes has a plethora of historical things to do. Being on the Wabash River was fantastic. I did a lot of fishing while I was there. Jefferson Union is a great building. There are plenty of things to do.”

Miners Eke Out Win Over Otters In The Ninth

0

The Evansville Otters suffered a walk-off loss at the hands of the Southern Illinois Miners Saturday night, as the Miners eked out a 3-2 victory to even the series.

The Otters would have to come from behind to eventually tie the game after the Miners took an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, after an RBI groundout from Gianfranco Wawoe and a follow-up, two-out RBI single from Nolan Earley off of Otters starter Ryan O’Reilly. Both runs were unearned, as the inning began with a fielding error at short.

O’Reilly made his professional debut in the start, pitching through the fourth inning without allowing an earned run, giving up just the early two unearned runs on four hits, two walks, and six punchouts.

In the top of the fourth, Elijah MacNamee would tie the game with a two-run home run to left, his second big fly in the last three days. MacNamee has now driven home nine runs in three games going back to the Otters’ Thursday matchup with the Joliet Slammers earlier in the week.

 

Samson Abernathy came on in the bottom of the fifth inning in an excellent relief appearance, retiring all six batters he faced through the sixth.

Tyler Spring then entered the ballgame in the bottom of the seventh, making his league-leading 15th appearance, eventually adding two more innings to his 20.2 scoreless inning streak to start the season.

With the game still tied at two, the Otters managed to get the first two batters aboard in the top of the ninth, but the Miners succeeded in turning a 6-4-3 double play thanks to a favorable call on a bang-bang play at first that cut Evansville’s rally short.

Taylor Wright would try to send the game to extras in the bottom of the ninth when he entered from the bullpen, but after a walk to leadoff batter Nolan Earley and a successful sacrifice, Ian Walters delivered a walk-off ground rule double to drive in the winning run from second.

The final score was 3-2.

Taylor Wright (0-1) took his first loss of the season, while Joey Pulido earned the win (1-1).

The Otters will look to take the rubber match of the series Sunday night. First pitch will be at 5:05 p.m. Fans can catch an audio broadcast of Sunday’s game on the Evansville Otters YouTube channel, with a 4:50 p.m. pregame show.
