YESTERYEAR: JOE AARON

By Pat Sides

Evansville Courier columnist Joe Aaron was the guest of honor at a “roast” held at Das Kollker Haus restaurant on April 24, 1977.

The event was sponsored by The Society of Professional Journalists. Aaron is seated next to his wife (left) as Jeanne Suhrheinrich, Courier entertainment editor, speaks at the microphone.

Aaron’s “Morning Assignment” column, which first appeared in 1957, was noted for its warmth and humor, making it a favorite with readers. In 1962, he won a national award for the “best local interest column,” and his articles continue to be reprinted in the Courier and Press.

Aaron died soon after collapsing in the newsroom in 1986.

Eagles Complete Season-Sweep Of McKendree

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Junior center Audrey Turner racked up a career-high 13 points, seven rebounds and four blocks as University of Southern Indiana Women’s basketball rolled to a 72-51 Great Lakes Valley Conference win over visiting McKendree University Monday evening at Screaming Eagles Arena.

Turner had nine of those points in a dominating second-half performance that saw the Screaming Eagles outscore the Bearcats, 41-24.

The Eagles (10-4, 6-2 GLVC) dominated the contest on the defensive end, forcing the Bearcats into 29 turnovers, including 15 in the second half.

After a first-half that featured five ties and four lead changes, the Eagles’ 31-27 halftime advantage stood at a single-digit early in the third when they embarked on a 13-3 run. The charge, which featured seven points from Turner, gave the Eagles a 44-33 advantage with just under four minutes to play in the third period.

USI’s bench played a big factor throughout the contest as USI’s reserves outscored the Bearcats’ bench players, 29-10.

McKendree (9-7, 2-6 GLVC), kept the Eagles within arms’ reach, but a 10-2 USI run that featured six free throws from junior guard Emma DeHart and a pair of baskets from senior guard Ashley Johnson.

Johnson led all scorers with 14 points to go along with three assists and five steals, while DeHart adds 10 points and a career-high seven steals.

Freshmen forward Hannah Haithcock and Tara Robbe contributed 12 points and seven points, respectively, while freshman guard Addy Blackwell added seven points and three assists. Sophomore forward Ashlynn Brown matched Turner with seven rebounds.

Senior guard Madison Hart paced McKendree with 13 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.

USI returns to action Thursday at 5:30 p.m. when it hosts Truman State University at Screaming Eagles Arena. The Bulldogs (11-4, 7-1 GLVC) earned a 64-57 GLVC road win over Quincy University Monday evening in Quincy, Illinois.

West Side Crash Sends Three Motorists to Hospital

0

A crash on Hogue Road in western Vanderburgh County sent three motorists to the hospital this afternoon.

On Thursday, January 23, 2020 at 1:56pm, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 6700-block of Hogue Rd for a motor vehicle accident with injuries. Responding deputies were advised that a silver 2000 Honda Civic and a silver 2014 Subaru Outback were involved in a head-on collision which had resulted in numerous injured motorists.

Upon arriving on scene, deputies observed the two occupants of the Honda Civic laying in the yard of a nearby residence. Both complained of severe back and neck pain. The driver of the Subaru Outback was still seated in the vehicle and complained of chest, arm and leg pain. While waiting for medical personnel to arrive, the driver of the Subaru Outback lost consciousness. All three occupants were transported to local hospitals by ambulance for treatment of their injuries. The driver of the Subaru Outback remains in stable condition at Deaconess Midtown Hospital after being rushed to surgery. The occupants of the Honda Civic were treated and released.

On scene investigation and witness accounts indicated that the Honda Civic was traveling east and the Subaru Outback was traveling west prior to the crash. The Honda Civic crossed the center line, entering the lane of travel for the Subaru Outback, causing a head-on collision. Both vehicles had heavy front end damage with air bag deployment.

Pursuant to state law regarding crashes involving serious bodily injury or death, the driver of the Subaru Outback consented to a post-crash blood draw. The driver of the Honda Civic refused to submit to a chemical test. A search warrant was applied for and granted for the post-crash blood draw. The crash will remain under investigation pending toxicology results.

The crash resulted in the temporary closure of Hogue Rd, between Boehne Camp Rd and Williams Road, for nearly two and a half hours.
