Cynthia Sturgis Landrum, CEO and director of the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library, will be the speaker for the University of Evansville Andiron Lecture on March 1. The lecture will begin at 4:00 p.m., in Eykamp Hall, Room 252, in Ridgway University Center on UE’s campus. All of the Andiron lectures are free and open to the public.
Landrum’s topic will be “Toward a New Nostalgia for Public Libraries: Engaging, Inquiring, and Empowering.†During her talk, she will discuss the roots of library nostalgia. When and how was our nostalgia for libraries lost? Most importantly, how can we rediscover it for the greater good of our communities?
Landrum earned her bachelor’s degree in linguistics at Northwestern University, her master’s degree in library and information science at the University of Southern Mississippi, and is a doctoral candidate in managerial leadership for the information professions at Simmons College.
She is councilor-at-large on the Council of the American Library Association, past president of the Arizona Library Association and former board member of the Institute for Science Education and Technology. Her professional mission is to empower individuals to reach their highest potential so they can transform communities. As one example of this commitment, she tutors K-12 students from Chicago public schools, providing homework assistance with a primary focus on reading.
The Andiron Lecture series is sponsored by the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences and supported by a generous gift from Donald B. Korb. For more information, call 812-488-1070 or 812-488-2589.

The University of Southern Indiana women’s tennis team was defeated by the University of Evansville Sunday evening, falling to the Aces 6-1 at the Evansville Tennis Center.
The Aces took the lone point in doubles, sweeping all three matches.
In singles, USI (3-2) tied the match at one with a win at number six by junior Haley Jones (Ft. Branch, Indiana), when she defeated Leah Helpingstine 6-0, 6-0.
While that was the only point USI would score, the Screaming Eagles battled throughout the rest of the match. Junior Kelsey Shipman (Olney, Illinois) took her match the full three sets before taking the 4-6, 6-3, 7-10 loss.
IS IT TRUE that former Evansville Icemen Hockey team over a three year period of time paid the Ford Center the following amount of base rent for 36 home games (a range of rent per  game of $10,926 to $11,479)?  …from 2015-2016 they paid $413,244 ?  …from 2014-2015 they paid $403,164?  …from 2013-2014 they paid $393,336?Â
IS IT TRUE that the former Evansville Icemen Hockey team paid the Ford Center approximately $49,968 a year to use audio-video equipment and paid the operating camera crews for 36 home games over a five year period? .
IS IT TRUE that the former Evansville Icemen Hockey Team paid the Ford Center a $2.00 Facility Fee for each ticket sold ( less a credit for season and group tickets sold) over the last three years for the 36 home games they played at the Ford Center?  …from 2015-2016 they paid Venueworks $119,603?  …from 2014-2015 they paid Venueworks $180,320?  ...2013-2014 they paid Venueworks $206,190? Â
IS IT TRUE that the total  expenses incurred by the former Evansville Icemen paid to the Ford Center for per game lease, audio-video services and $2.00 Facility Fee  for the last three (3) years were: 2015-2016 was $582,815, 2014-2015 was $633,412 and during 2013-2014 was $649,455 this amount was among the highest paid expenses for these categories in the 28 team ECHL League?
IS IT TRUE that City Officials received from the Evansville Icemen 20 comp tickets for 36 home games? Â …of these 20 comp tickets, 10 of these tickets were reserved for the “BEST TICKET” section at the Center of the Ice? … the Evansville Thunderbolts receives 40 comp tickets for City Officials to attend 28 home games? Â …20 of these tickets are reserved for the “BEST TICKET” section at the Center of the Ice? …we wonder if it’s legal for elected city officials to receive free comps for anyone doing business with the City of Evansville?
IS IT TRUE in the coming days we shall be comparing what the former Evansville Icemen and the Evansville Thunderbolts have and are paying the Venueworks for the use of the Ford Center? Â …we feel you will be surprised in the difference that both team have and are playing to use the Ford Center for Ice Hockey? …because of the ways both lease contracts were written you shall see that home game attendence play a major role in the overall income derived by Venueworks for the lease of the Ford Center to both the former Evansville Icemen and the Evansville Thunderbolts?
IS IT TRUE the official unemployment rate is currently 4.8% which indicates that the United States is at full employment?…the broader measure of unemployment, which includes those who are underemployed or who’ve given up looking but want a job, is still a shockingly high 9.4%, rendering the “official” unemployment rate to a lesser reality?…it was 8.8% just before the Great Recession started, and has been as low as 6.8% since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started this separate measure in 1994?…14 million people have dropped out of the labor force since the economic recovery started in June 2009?..That is more than the number of jobs created over those same months during the Obama Administration?…The labor-force participation rate is just 62.9%, down from 65.7% when the recovery started, and the average length of unemployment today is 25 weeks, which is three weeks longer than it was in June 2009?
IS IT TRUE when it comes to incomes, there are also plenty of problems to address?…The overall real median family income climbed less than 2% over the past seven years, but the poorest fifth of households saw their incomes decline, according to the latest Census data?…There were more African Americans and more Midwesterners living in poverty in 2015 than in 2009, and 11 million more people are on food stamps according to that same Census data set?…the economy is certainly not,on the brink of disaster when President Trump took office last month but it is certainly reasonable to say that it was, in many ways, a mess when it comes to jobs that pay a living wage that are attractive enough to get people who have given up back into the world of working and paying taxes?
FOOTNOTE: Todays “Readers Poll” question is: Are you surprised what the former Evansville Icemen team paid Venuworks to lease the Ford Center for each home hockey game?
