YESTERYEAR: L & N Depot

0

Yesteryear By Pat Sides

This stately limestone building was a landmark on South Fulton Avenue for many decades. Built in 1902, the depot is seen here in the 1960s, when it was still busy but on the decline due to the popularity of airplanes and automobiles.

The station’s use peaked in the 1940s, when passengers could board up to 140 trains daily on the station’s five tracks, including scores of soldiers on their way to and from Camp Breckinridge.

The last passenger train departed in April 1971, and the depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Plans to convert the space to a new use failed, and despite fierce opposition from preservationists, the deteriorating landmark was demolished in 1985.

“Servant Leadership”?

“Servant Leadership”?

by Gail Riecken, Editor Of The CCC Statehouse News

January 25, 2019

Have you heard the term “Servant leadership”? I am hearing it more and more from newer politicians. At first, I thought it was because they didn’t want to call themselves politicians, as the term seems to have some negativity these days.

I now think there is another reason, a legitimate reason. These politicians don’t want any confusion about why they are in politics. They want you and me to appreciate they are in their positions to serve us, their constituents, and they are serious about it.

The term – “Servant leadership” – what difference does it really make?  I thought about that when I read a recent article about a conversation between two legislators on the floor of the State legislature

On January 17 Rep. Ryan Hatfield presented an amendment to HB1006 on second reading. The amendment language would mandate a certain annual report from the Department of Child Services (DCS) to the Commission on the Improvement of the Status of Children. The intent of the report would be to monitor caseworkers’ caseload so that they are able to do a good job for the children in their charge.

Rep. Dave Frizzell, standing in opposition to Hatfield’s amendment, said according to the Statehouse File report, “Rep. Hatfield, I can make this promise to you, that we will update people about what’s happening with our caseworkers”.

I think he was really saying, “We will let you and the public know what we want you to know when we want to tell you”.

“Servant Leadership”, then, would have addressed the response a little differently. The response would have been direct, honest, respectful and trustworthy. It would have focused on the people’s interest to have information.

A“Servant leader” might have presented a solution. It might have been to bring the amendment language before the legislative council for a summer study committee where participants might come up with compromise.

I am convinced the concepts of “Servant leadership” have real value in politics in the legislature.  At least that focus, that reminder, would go a long way toward doing more than making promises.

Eagles Outpace Miners For Fourth Straight Win

0

Four players reached double-figures in the scoring column Thursday evening as University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball outpaced visiting Missouri University of Science & Technology, 76-61, in a Great Lakes Valley Conference tilt at the Physical Activities Center.

USI (14-4, 7-1 GLVC) trailed 21-19 early in the second quarter, but runs of 11-2 and 7-2 put the Eagles up, 39-30, heading into the intermission.

Missouri S&T (7-8, 3-5 GLVC) opened the second half with a quick basket and held the Eagles off the scoreboard for the first minute-and-a-half of the third quarter. Sophomore guard Kennedy Williams (Marshall, Illinois), however, broke the drought with a three-pointer, kick-starting a 10-0 USI surge that put the Eagles in front, 49-32, a little more than four minutes into the third period.

Williams, who had all 10 of her points in the second half, drained another three-pointer in the run as USI took control of the contest.

The Miners trimmed the deficit to 11 late in the third period, but a 7-0 run that featured a three-pointer by sophomore guard Emma Dehart (Indianapolis, Indiana) put USI up 59-41.

USI, which shot 42.6 percent from the field, extended its lead to as much as 23 points early in the fourth quarter before settling on the 16-point victory.

McCarty will miss Saturday’s game at UNI

 Missouri Valley Conference Commissioner Doug Elgin has announced that University of Evansville head men’s basketball coach Walter McCarty has been suspended for Saturday’s game at UNI following comments McCarty made that were critical of the officiating on the postgame radio show following Wednesday’s game at Drake.

“I accept full responsibility for what happened, I know the referees have a tough job and I let my emotions get the best of me,” McCarty said.  “I apologize to the referees, the MVC and the University of Evansville community and our team.  This is not the way I want to represent those groups and will use this as a learning tool for myself going forward.”

McCarty will miss Saturday evening’s road game at UNI in Cedar Falls.  He will be back on the sideline next week when the Aces return home to face Bradley on Wednesday evening.
