Carver Community Plans 79th Annual Meeting for Dec. 3

Evansville, IN – Reservations are now being accepted for the Carver Community Organization’s 79th Annual Meeting and Luncheon on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 11:30 a.m. at the Deaconess Orthopedic Neuroscience Hospital Pavilion Room located at 4011 Gateway Blvd., in Newburgh.

Individual tickets are available for $50 each and may be purchased by calling the Carver Community Organization at 812-423-2612. Sponsorships and table sales are also available from $750-$2,500. Proceeds for this event will directly benefit the programs and missions of Carver, including early childhood education, family services, and senior volunteerism and recreation.

This year’s guest speaker will be Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry, who served as the organization’s first deputy director and was a “Carver Kid” as a child.

Terry served as executive director of the Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe) for 13 years, leading a team dedicated to enriching the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and their families. Under her leadership, the museum increased visitors and memberships; strengthened partnerships; raised and invested over $1 million in new capital projects; and launched a $6.5 million capital campaign, raising $5 million before her departure.

In the same year she joined cMoe, Terry was appointed to fill a vacant seat on the Vanderburgh County Council. About five months later, she was elected to the position as the first African American woman to serve on the council. She was re-elected in 2014, 2018 and 2022, before being elected Mayor of Evansville in November 2023.

 

November Highlights from Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott

November Highlights…

This Veterans Day was one I’ll never forget. I had the honor of spending it with the great folks at American Legion Gillen Post 33 in Bedford, IN where we recognized the incredible service of local veterans with a special flag presentation to Post Commander Kevin Masterson. As someone whose brother served in Iraq and whose grandfather fought in World War II, Veterans Day is deeply personal to me. It’s a day to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who’ve served and to say thank you. Grateful to Bedford’s veterans and all Hoosier heroes for their commitment to our country. For the full story, check out The Times-Mail.

I was honored to serve as the keynote speaker at the Greater Lawrence Chamber (GLC) membership luncheon. It was the perfect opportunity to sit down with President Brad Klopfenstein and discuss the Treasurer’s Office’s valuable role in state government, as well as the dynamics of Indiana politics. Engaging with our local community is always a fulfilling experience, and I’m grateful to connect with so many dedicated individuals working hard to move Indiana forward. Events like this remind me of the power of collaboration and the impact we can have when we come together.

Organization Day at the Indiana General Assembly is always a special time, and this year was no different. It was a chance to connect with leaders and legislators from across the state as we gear up for the work ahead. The room was filled with energy, and it was clear we all shared a commitment to serving Hoosiers. Being a part of this historic process is a privilege, and it’s always inspiring to see the dedication of those who step up to make Indiana stronger.

I’m looking forward to working with the General Assembly in the months ahead to deliver real results for the people of our great state!

The Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville Completes World Rhythms Exhibit

EVANSVILLE, IN – The Koch Family Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe) is excited to share the completion of World Rhythms, within their Speak Loud gallery. This remodel was funded and generously supported by the JD Sheth Foundation, a project-to-project-based organization focusing on the education, health, and well-being of others, specifically children and the elderly, here in the United States and across the globe.
“Music is a powerful bridge that unites us all, bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds,” says Executive Director Erica Schmidt. “We are grateful to the JD Sheth Foundation for their generous investment in education. Together, we are nurturing a vision that inspires new generations of lifelong learners through the universal language of music.”
This exhibit is now open to the public during cMoe’s normal business hours, and children can learn about various cultures through the exploration of music, rhythms and sounds.
“Exposure to music ignites aspects of child development and skills including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, and supports neural pathways that can enhance cognitive abilities for a lifetime,” says JD Sheth CEO/President Jaimie Sheth. “JD Sheth is honored to support the renovation of this space to foster learning, cultural exposure, and play for the children in our community.”
Visit cMoe to experience this remodeled exhibit and explore 3 floors of interactive galleries.  Museum General Admission is $15 per person, and cMoe Members and children under 18 months of age get in for free.  Tickets can be purchased in the Children’s Museum or online at www.cmoekids.org.  Interested in becoming a cMoe Member?

Best Comments of the Week

0

The City-County Observer has always been here to provide an opportunity for readers to share their thoughts. Here are some of the best comments from the past week.

On our story about the eligibility of the new 4th Ward City Council person:

  • Mark Chandler: “Since my part of ward 3 became part of ward 4 a few years ago , Myself and neighbors feel that we are not represented”
  • Donald Nichols Lee: “This should be simple to resolve”
  • Hoot Al: “It seems the requirements are clear and she was late on making the changes. So she is not eligible for the position and the council should never have seated her before this was resolved.”
  • Shona Jarboe: The CEB-5 submitted by Carothers on Nov 1st along with her 3rd Ward voter registration status and (still pending) change of voter registration to 4th Ward submission date of Nov 2nd should be concrete enough proof that she is not qualified for the Fourth Ward Seat.
    All Vanderburgh Democrats should be outraged by this situation, and it’s continued support and advocac by our Elected Democrats.

On Mike Pence Calls on Senate to Reject RFK Jr. for HHS

  • al sharpie: We the people rejected spineless pence …….

On IS IT TRUE that the Republican party’s massive sweep in the recent November General election will force the political patronage and pork barrel politicians to live within their means?

  • Donald: Answer: NO! They are the biggest spenders. Just look at Evansville and who ran it for 12 years.
  • Eviltaxpayer: In reply to Donald: Weinzaphle was a Democrat and Winnecke ran on the Republican ticket however his actions tell me he was a Democrat at heart

UE falls to Indiana State in finale

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In a hard-fought match on Wednesday, the University of Evansville volleyball team came up just short in a 3-1 decision to Indiana State at Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Angelica Gonzalez had a spectacular match, finishing with 21 kills while Josdarilee Caraballo recorded 13.  Ainoah Cruz posted a career-high 36 digs while Kora Ruff added 27 to go along with her 40 assists. ISU was led by Kira Holland’s 17 kills.

Senior Madisyn Steele officially finished her career as the most efficient hitter in program history and the first to hit over .300 over the course of her time with the program.  She broke the record of .277, which was set by two previous players.

Set 1 – Indiana State 26, UE 24

Kora Ruff picked up an ace as UE scored the first three points of the evening.  Indiana State fought back, tying the set at 6-6 before taking their first lead at 11-10 and pushing it to 14-11.  A reversed call put momentum back on UE’s side and Lexi Owen followed with an ace that saw the Aces retake a 16-15 edge.

The back-and-forth sequence continued with the Sycamores jumping back on top at 20-18 while the Aces made their comeback, utilizing a kill by Josdarilee Caraballo to tie it up at 21-21.  Angelica Gonzalez’ seventh kill of the match put UE back in front with set point, up 24-23, but the Sycamores had the final say, rebounding to take the win.

Set 2 – UE 25, Indiana State 23

Madisyn Steele recorded a kill and block to give the Aces a 7-3 lead out of the gate.  Blakeley Freeman had an ace in the early stretch.  Indiana State made their way back, cutting the deficit to a point (9-8), but Evansville answered as Chloe Cline, Angelica Gonzalez, and Carlotta Pascual each picked up a kill as UE pushed the lead to 15-10.

Caraballo picked up her 10th kill of the match to extend the advantage to 20-14.  That is when the Sycamores made their move.  Seven in a row put the Sycamores in front before Cline and Holland Morris assisted on a block to end the run.  Gonzalez came up in the clutch with a block assist and kill to clinch the set and tie the match.

Set 3 – Indiana State 25, UE 21

Another nice start by Steele saw her register a pair of kills to put UE in front at 4-2.  ISU took its first lead of 7-5 before consecutive Caraballo aces gave UE an 8-7 edge.  After the Sycamores retook a 10-8 advantage, kills from Pascual and Ruff helped the Aces jump on top by a score of 13-12.

Just as fast as the Aces rallied, ISU countered.  Another rally saw them open their largest lead at 20-14.  Still trailing by six at 24-18, Evansville made a final effort to close the gap.  Ruff’s second ace of the night cut into the deficit, but ISU finished the set to take a 2-1 lead.

Set 4 – Indiana State 25, UE 23

Up 2-1 in the match, Indiana State was on fire to begin the fourth, reeling off the opening four tallies.  After Steele picked up a kill to get the Aces on the board, the Sycamores continued to add to the lead, going up 12-3.  A 4-0 spurt got the Aces closer, but ISU rebounded to go up 20-12.

Gonzalez did her best to bring the Aces back, picking up four kills in a row as part of a 7-0 run that cut the deficit to just one at 20-19.  An error by the Sycamores tied the score at 22-22 before two by ISU gave them match point where they would finish off the victory.

UE men’s soccer ends postseason run in Massachusetts

The Purple Aces took four shots in the final four minutes of the match
AMHURST, Mass. – The University of Evansville men’s soccer team had its best season in 15 years come to a close on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in a 2-1 loss at Massachusetts.
The Purple Aces made their return to the NCAA Tournament after 28 years and fought to the final second against the UMass Minutemen. Graduate forward Sami Owusu (Denver / Dayton) had UE’s lone goal of the match in the 71st minute. He was one of only two Evansville players to record multiple shots over 90 minutes at Rudd Field along with redshirt freshman midfielder Jacopo Fedrizzi (Guilia, Italy).
“These guys showed the same level of desire and commitment they have all season, the game just didn’t end up going our way. We fought and scrapped for everything. These guys should be proud of how they represented themselves, this program, and our university.
“We are proud that we returned this program back to the tournament in 28 years when the people in this group were the only people who believed we could. These guys have left this program better than they found it.”
It was a dry beginning at UMass for the Aces as the projected rain in the forecast stopped and the team struggled to find its offense. The Minutemen had the first four shots of the match along with the first goal in the 21st minute.
UE registered its first shot nine minutes later as graduate defender Tobias Bak (Taastrup, Denmark) took one from the far right side of the penalty area that was saved down low by UMass goalkeeper Alex Geczy. Evansville had only two other chances in the first 45 minutes as senior forward Edward Mendy (Overland Park, Kan. / Blue Valley West HS) beat two defenders in the box to force a diving save left.
The second half was a quicker offensive start for the Aces as redshirt junior defender Jon Varela (Vitoria, Spain) had a shot go over the crossbar in the first four minutes. The teams traded shots until the 60th minute when the Minutemen doubled their lead. Momentum stayed in the home team’s favor until Owusu took a blocked shot in the 67th minute.
UE took control for the next five minutes while scoring the team’s lone goal of the match. Owusu took the ball up the left side of the penalty area to the six. At the six he crossed past his defender and Geczy into the bottom left corner of the net. Following the goal Evansville kicked its offense into high gear, taking five shots over the final 16 minutes.
Four of those five shots for the Aces came in the last four minutes. UE kept possession on its half of the field for over eight minutes as four separate players took chances at the net. Sophomore winger Auden Engen Vik (Trondheim, Norway) had a shot just inside the 18 that forced a jumping save to the right. While fifth-year forward Kai Phillip (Diego Martin, Trinidad & Tobago) had a shot in the final 30 seconds off a corner kick that was headed just wide of the net.
Evansville ends the 2024 season with the program’s most wins since 2017 and its best winning percentage since 2009. The Aces’ 35 goals were the most in a season dating back to 2007 when UE had a 45-goal year in 20 matches. Evansville completes 2024 with an 11-7-3 overall record, a 4-3-1 Missouri Valley Conference record, and the program’s first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 1996.
