Yesteryear: F. W. Cook Brewing Company

0

F. W. Cook Brewing Company

By PAT SIDES

When Frederick Washington Cook built his brewery in the 1850s, he needed space. Bounded by Seventh, Sycamore, Vine, and Eighth streets, the mammoth operation occupied a block that stood in the middle of nowhere then but soon became the heart of Evansville’s business district. 

The company survived Cook’s death in 1913, as well as Prohibition, and although it competed with numerous local breweries, it was immensely successful. Age eventually began to take its toll on the company, and labor problems in the 1950s interrupted production and soon led to its closure.

The buildings were razed in 1965 to make way for the new Civic Center.

EPA Extends Application Period For Environmental Educator Awards

0

The application period has been extended for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators (PIAEE).

Applications are now due April 5, 2019.

EPA is seeking PIAEE awards applications that highlight environmental stewardship in one or more of the following areas:

  • environmental sustainability;
  • healthy school environments, including projects that reduce food waste in cafeterias;
  • environmentally-friendly agriculture practices;
  • reducing human contributions to ocean litter;
  • school gardens;
  • recycling; or
  • using STEM to teach environmental education.

EPA will select up to two winners in each of EPA’s 10 Regions, one for Grades K-5 and one for Grades 6-12. Winners will be invited to a ceremony in Washington, D.C. in mid-2019 and have their project mentioned on EPA’s website.

PIAEE awardees will receive up to $2,500 to be used to further the recipient’s professional development in environmental education, and the teacher’s local education agency will also receive an award of up to $2,500 to fund environmental educational activities and programs.

The PIAEE is an annual award program administered by EPA’s Office of Environmental Education. Since 1971, the EPA has recognized exceptional K-12 teachers employing innovative, interactive approaches to environmental education. It is one of the most important ways EPA and the administration demonstrate commitment to environmental stewardship efforts created and conducted by our nation’s teachers.

McNew earns GLVC honor as Eagles move up DH

0

University of Southern Indiana Baseball’s freshman catcher Lucas McNew (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) was recognized as the Great Lakes Valley Conference position player of the week for his efforts in the three-game sweep of Lewis University last weekend.

McNew smacked two home runs and a triple from the Flyers at the plate in his six-for-11 weekend effort to collect six RBI and cross the plate four times. The catcher posted a .545 batting average, .571 on-base percentage, while hitting in the third slot of the lineup for the Screaming Eagles.

The freshman business administration major also threw out two-of-three baserunners and played 27 innings of error-free baseball from behind the dish.

McNew leads USI in batting average (.426), slugging (.936), doubles (7) and home runs (5). He sits second among the Eagles in RBI (15), on-base percentage (.540), walks (14), and fourth in stolen bases (3).

USI Baseball has a quick turnaround this week as its Wednesday GLVC double-up with Bellarmine University has been moved up to Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Then, the Eagles hit the road for their three-game series with William Jewell College this weekend.

Opening the tournament, the University of Evansville men’s golf team sits 12th after the first round of the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate at Sevierville Golf Course in Sevierville, Tenn.

Evansville recorded a 305 as a team in the first round, just nine strokes outside of the top 10. Leading the tournament is Lee, who finished the opening round with a 12-under 276 as a team, giving Lee a four-stroke lead over second-place Eastern Kentucky.

Leading the Aces, junior Matthew Ladd opened the tournament with a one-over 73, putting Ladd in a tie for 22nd. Ladd sits six strokes back of the lead and just two strokes out of the top 10. One stroke back of Ladd was freshman Dallas Koth who sits in a tie for 31st after recording a two-over 74 in the first round.

As an individual, junior Robert Waggoner was the third-lowest Ace on the first day as Waggoner shot a 77 in the opening round for a share of 63rd place. Senior Noah Reese followed closely behind Waggoner, tallying an opening-round 78 that put Reese in a tie for 71st.
A pair of Aces finished just one stroke apart after the first round as sophomores Spencer Wagner and Jessie Brumley carded an 80 and 81 in the first round, placing Wagner in a tie for 78th and Brumley in a tie for 81st.

Joining Waggoner as an individual, senior Gabe Rohleder completed the first round in a tie for 82nd with an opening round 83.

The Aces are back out on the course on Tuesday for the second of three rounds of the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate.
