YESTERYEAR: Joe Larvo’s Restaurant By Pat Sides

0

In 1953, Joe Larvo opened his first restaurant after serving as chief steward and manager of the Evansville Country Club for several years. It was located on SE First Street until January 1960, when a fire temporarily forced him out of business. Larvo, a former bricklayer and dishwasher from Chicago, quickly revived his restaurant at 15 Main Street (pictured here), bragging that “courtesy and consideration” were the cornerstone of his success.

Downtown urban renewal forced the business to move, and after 1969, the restaurant operated in the old Three Coins restaurant on First Avenue near Columbia Street. Larvo retired eight years later.

Aces head to Alabama A&M for first road game

 Evansville looking to extend six-game regular season win streak

After opening the season with an 89-81 victory over Murray State at home on Sunday, the University of Evansville women’s basketball team travels to Huntsville, Alabama to take on Alabama A&M on Wednesday night at 6 p.m.

Evansville sets off on its first road trip of the season with momentum built from a successful weekend. In their first game back on campus since 2000, the Purple Aces captured an 89-81 win over Murray State in front of an electric crowd at Meeks Family Fieldhouse. Graduate guard Hannah Noe recorded the fourth-best scoring performance in program history with 33 points. Noe’s outing is believed to be the most points for a Purple Ace in their Evansville debut as individual stats from the early years of program history are incomplete. For her efforts, Noe was recognized as the Missouri Valley Conference Women’s Basketball Player/Newcomer of the Week.

Alabama A&M opened its season last Friday at Alabama, suffering a 90-32 defeat to the Crimson Tide. Evansville and the Bulldogs have met just once previously with the Aces earning a 63-54 victory on December 21, 2016 in Evansville. The Aces have made just one previous trip to play a team on the road in the state of Alabama. The only previous occasion, Evansville captured a 62-47 victory over UAB in Birmingham, Ala.

The Aces are in search of their eighth win in the last nine games, dating back to Feb. 17, 2017. With a win, UE would secure its first 2-0 start since winning back-to-back games to open the 2010-11 campaign.

Dan Colbert is Promoted to Lab Manager at Indiana State Police Regional Laboratory

0

Evansville – Indiana State Police Superintendent Douglas Carter has promoted Dan Colbert to serve as the Evansville Regional Laboratory Manager. Colbert’s predecessor, Joe Vetter, retired in June after serving as the laboratory manager since March 1980. Colbert has been the acting lab manager since Vetter’s retirement.

Colbert is a native of Owensville and a 1991 graduate of Gibson Southern High School. He later attended Oakland City University where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology.

Colbert joined the Indiana State Police in 1996 as a Criminal Analyst at the Evansville Regional Lab.  He was promoted to Forensic Scientist in 2006 to serve as a firearm and tool mark examiner. Colbert has also been a member of the Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Team since 1999.

Colbert and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Gibson County with their two boys.

USI Women’s Basketball inks Brown, LaPlaca to NLIs

0
University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball Coach Rick Stein announced that 6-foot-1 forward Ashlynn Brown (Perrysburg, Ohio) and 6-foot-1 guard Samantha LaPlaca (Parma Heights, Ohio) have signed national letters of intent during the early signing period to compete for Head Coach Rick Stein‘s Screaming Eagles in 2017-18.

“We are excited to welcome these two outstanding you women to our USI family,” Stein said. “Ashlynn and Sam are both excellent student athletes and will help to fill some immediate needs for our team after this season.”

Brown is currently a senior at Perrysburg High School where she earned second-team All-State honors as a junior after averaging 12.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game in 2016-17.

A two-time All-District and All-Conference honoree on the basketball court, Brown averaged 10.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per contest during her sophomore season in 2015-16.

“”Ashlynn is an active inside player that can produce in so many ways,” Stein said. “Her scoring and rebounding stands out, but she also is a very good passer, strong defender and can stretch the defense all the way out to the three-point line.”

LaPlaca is in her senior year at Normandy High School in Parma, Ohio, where she has earned varsity letters in basketball. She averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game as a junior, helping NHS to a runner-up finish in the Parma sectional in 2016-17.

“Sam is a long, athletic wing who can really shoot the ball,” Stein explained. “She is a gym rat who works on her game every day. Averaging a double-double is not an easy task and it shows her abilities to really produce on both ends of the court.”

USI returns to action Thursday at 6 p.m. when it hosts Ohio Dominican University at the Physical Activities Center.

Coyle signs with Eagles for 2018-19

0

University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball announced the signing of Chance Coyle, 6-foot-4 guard from Bloomington, Indiana. Coyle is the first player to sign with the Screaming Eagles for the 2018-19 season.

Coyle averaged 18.5 points and 5.0 rebounds as a junior for Bloomington South High School (Bloomington, Indiana). He was named the Bloomington Herald-Times All-Area and All-Conference Indiana last season, in addition to being named a Junior Indiana All-Star.

Coyle has helped lead Bloomington South to Conference Indiana championships in 2016 and 2017 and three-straight sectional championships.

“We are fortunate to have Chance Coyle join USI Basketball,” said USI Head Coach Rodney Watson. “His work ethic, toughness, and competitive greatness strengthens our culture. Chance plays hard in every phase of the game.”

A second generation Screaming Eagle, Coyle follows his father, Neil Coyle, onto the court at USI. Neil Coyle was a member of USI’s 1995 NCAA Division II national championship team, the 1994 NCAA II national finalist squad, and of Eagle squads that appeared in three-straight NCAA II Tournaments.
