Motley Crue performs their final tour in front of full house at Ford Center

0

Heavy metal rock band Motley Crue mesmerized fans in Evansville Indiana on their final tour in front of a full house at Ford Center on Saturday. Crue fans were fascinated with all the pyro, excessive confetti, strobe lighting and special effects only to be capped off by none other than Tommy Lee himself during his drum solo. Tommy performed his dramatic drum techniques high above the audience on his portable roller coaster drum set that also flips him upside down and back as it slides from the stage to the top of Ford Center and then up and down to the front of the arena. Vince Neil, Mick Mars Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee were all together as the Motley Crue band said thank you to their loyal fans. The band has been performing together for over 34 years and this was certainly one of their best performances to highlight the final tour. Opening for the Crue on this tour was legendary heavy metal rocker Alice Cooper. He played some of his greatest hits while also performing his traditional antics of magic on stage and giving the crowd plenty of show.

“The Motley Crue final tour also set a milestone here highlighting the 14th concert held at Ford Center in the last twelve months. Six of those concerts were sold out shows,” stated Ford Center Executive Director Scott Schoenike.

Upcoming shows at Ford Center include: Hadi Shrine Circus November 26-29, Wynonna Judd Christmas Concert December 3, Harlem Globetrotters January 14, Winter Jam January 28

Applications are now being accepted for University of Southern Indiana’s Southwest Indiana STEM (SwiSTEM) Resource Center’s 2015 USI FIRST® LEGO® League Qualifying Tournament. Applications will be accepted from October 6-12. The competition will take place Saturday, November 7, in Carter Hall at USI, where participating teams will be competing for a spot in the Indiana Championship Tournament. With a capacity of only 16 teams, don’t miss your chance to participate!

This year’s First® LEGO® League (FLL) Challenge involves all things trash. Teams will be on a Trash Trek SM to discover the hidden world of trash. From collection and sorting, to smart production and reuse, there is more to your trash than meets the eye. Participating teams will be challenged to rethink the way they look at trash by creating innovative ways to make less trash or improving the way people handle the trash they make. Whatever an individual may see as trash, FLL wants competitors to see as an opportunity.

FIRST® LEGO® League is a robotics program designed to get children excited about science and technology while teaching them valuable employment and life skills. Teams, composed of up to 10 children with at least one adult coach, can also be associated with a pre-existing club or organization, be homeschooled, or just be a group of friends.

Check out the FLL YouTube page for information from FLL game designer and project manager. The deadline to apply is October 12. To apply, visit: https://my.usfirst.org/fll/tims/site.lasso

UE Women’s Soccer Drops Senior Day Match to Drake

0

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team (2-9-2, 0-2-1 Missouri Valley Conference) was defeated 2-1 at home by Drake University (6-8, 3-0 MVC) on Saturday evening.

The match stayed scoreless until Bulldogs junior midfielder Rebecca Rodgers netted the go-ahead goal in the 37thminute.

Just 18 seconds later, UE was able to tie the match on an own goal from Drake.

Even at one, Evansville nearly went ahead in the 59th minute but a 25 yard blast from junior midfielder Bronwyn Boswell clanged off the crossbar.

The Bulldogs then took the advantage eight minutes later. After Evansville committed a handball, Rodgers took a 67th minute free kick from 20 yards out, bent it around the wall and into the far corner of the net.

Trailing 2-1, Evansville amassed six shots during the remainder of regulation but each attempt was saved by Drake junior goalkeeper Brooke Dennis.

The loss brings UE’s winless stretch to five consecutive matches.

Before the match began, Evansville honored their six seniors (midfielder Allie Arguello, goalkeeper Simone Busby, midfielder Caitie Dierkes, forward Holyn Marshall, forward Kayla Smith and defender Abby Springer) in a pregame ceremony.

Boswell, sophomore defender Olivia Shafer and Smith each had a team-high three shots.

The Aces are on the road for their next three matches at Indiana State (Oct. 14), at Cincinnati (Oct. 18) and at Illinois State (Oct. 25). UE returns home to host Missouri State on Oct. 29.

IceMen Drop Preseason Finale 6-2 to Komets

0

After leading for most of the opening period, the Evansville IceMen dropped the second of two preseason games against the Fort Wayne Komets 6-2 Saturday night at the Allen County War Memorial Arena.

Evansville jumped out to a 1-0 lead 5:17 into the game, when Joe Zarbo scored his second goal of the weekend on a shot that ricocheted off the arm of Fort Wayne’s goaltender and into the net. It was the first lead of the preseason for the IceMen. The Komets tied the game on the power-play at 16:32 of the frame when Shawn Szydlowski’s shot deflected off of goaltender Branden Komm and in.

Fort Wayne took the lead with 43 seconds left in the period, when Brock Montgomery tipped in a shot from the point. The Komets never gave up the lead. Garrett Meurs scored his first of two goals at 3:35 of the second period when Alex Belzile set him up on a 2-on-1. It was the only goal of the period, and gave the Komets a 3-1 at the end of two.

Mike Emback scored on a breakaway at 11:07 of the third to make it 4-1, and Trevor Cheek added a fifth goal for Fort Wayne at 15:45. With 2:30 to play, Justin MacDonald found the score sheet for the second straight night as he lifted a backhander into the top shelf off of an Evansville faceoff win. But it was too little, too late for the IceMen, who gave up a second goal to Meurs in the last minute of regulation.

Evansville opens the 2015-16 season Saturday, October 17 at The Ford Center against the Indy Fuel at 7:15pm. 2015-16 IceMen season tickets are on sale now. Call an IceMen Account Executive at (812) 421-GOAL (4625), Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm for tickets. Season tickets start for as little as $10 per game.

EEK! By Jim Redwine

Gavel Gamut

By Jim Redwine

(Week of 12 October 2015)

EEK!

A judge in Texas gave a man a choice between marriage and jail. The sentence was imposed in August 2015 in Smith County, Texas. Judges used to give men the option of two years in jail or two years in the army. I guess in Texas the choices are two years or life.

Or as Paul said in First Corinthians Ch. 7, verse 8: “It is better to marry than to burn”. Some biblical scholars say Paul was not saying marriage is just better than burning but, since Paul is not around to clear things up, I will rely on experience.

Until recently one could generalize about the differences in spouses based on gender. As with all generalizations there would be many exceptions but one could posit each gender in a marriage had certain traits. Today, clerk Kim Davis aside, each spouse’s traits are to be determined by observation, not assumptions based on gender.

This complicates things for newspaper columnists who wish to delve into the vagaries of wifely behavior. However, I will rush in anyway. Maybe Peg won’t read this.

What brought about these current musings was the return of the annual autumn mating season of large house spiders. According to the British Arachnological Society, now there are some folks in need of a better hobby, fall is the season arachnids go as crazy as teenagers. That is why spiders suddenly appear in our garage or even Peg’s kitchen. God help them if they do!

It is not that I welcome spiders or consider them fuzzy and cuddly. On the other hand, I do not screech and stomp as if the extermination of one small, amorous spider was essential to world survival.

I suppose when Peg is by herself no harm is done by her screaming “EEK!” and jumping off the floor. But when I have a cup of hot coffee in my hand and am lost in the reverie of a fine autumn afternoon, it is not the spider’s survival but mine that is in doubt.

As Henry Higgins said in exasperation in My Fair Lady, “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” Would a man cause his spouse to risk a heart attack over a bug? I think not.

Uh, oh. Peg found my first draft and demanded that I include her version of the above event. As I am hungry and she refuses to cook until I do, here’s her take on things, “You don’t yell at such things as spiders because you are oblivious! If I relied on you, our home would be overrun with creepy crawlers and probably varmints too.”

Now, Gentle Reader, I know you will be fair and agree with me that Peg’s assessment is unduly harsh. I ask you to cut her some slack as she made her comments under duress. A large brown spider was sticking itself out from under the refrigerator, or so she said. I didn’t notice it.
