The YWCA is pleased to honor Dan & Kim Hermann at its 26th Annual Tribute to Achievement to be held on May 14, 2015 at the Evansville Country Club. Over the past 26 years, the YWCA Tribute to Achievement has recognized individuals and organizations that have made a significant difference in our community. The funds raised by this inspiring event have been used to support critical programs for the YWCA.

Dan and Kim Hermann have built a life focused on their family and those less fortunate in the community. Both Dan and Kim are actively involved with Evansville’s hospitals. Kim was instrumental in leading the campaign for Evansville’s Ronald McDonald House. At the time it was built, Evansville was the smallest community to undertake such an endeavor. Youth organizations are at the top of the couple’s philanthropic and volunteer activities. Dan is a Life Board Member and past president of the Boys and Girls Club. A new preschool at Holy Rosary parish will benefit from a recent capital campaign under Dan’s leadership. Kim is a long‐time board member and past president of the YWCA, where she left her mark through the start‐up of a valuable college scholarship program for at‐risk girls and numerous other activities. Many other local organizations have—and continue to be—recipients of the Hermanns’ generosity, ultimately making southwestern Indiana a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Mayor Lloyd Winnecke will be on hand to present a special proclamation honoring the Hermanns for their service to the Evansville community. The YWCA will also award the annual Berkley Ann Branson scholarships to Young Women of Promise who have graduated from our Live Y’ers program. The fund was created in memory of one of Evansville’s most promising young women to help other promising young women achieve their vocational dreams. Since spring 2002, the YWCA has awarded over $250,000 in scholarships to 91 graduates of the Live Y’ers program.

The event is open to the public and tickets are available through the YWCA of Evansville. Contact the YWCA at (812) 422‐ 1191 for more information about tickets, corporate tables and sponsorships.

The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. The YWCA has been serving the Evansville area since 1911 and from its inception has provided housing and services for women and girls. The Evansville YWCA is a member of the YWCA of the U.S.A., the oldest and largest women’s membership movement in the country.

Over the years, YWCA programs have changed to meet the evolving needs of women and girls. In 1979, the YWCA opened the first domestic violence shelter in Evansville. Other current programs include a Transition Housing Program for women in recovery, Emergency Shelter for homeless women and children, an after‐ school and mentoring program, called Live Y’ers, for at‐risk girls in grades three through 12, and a Summer Fun day camp for school‐aged children. Special programs and events for the general public are also offered. Visit www.ywcaevansville.org for more information.

Blackberry Smoke

FRIDAY, AUGUST 14 8PM
TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, MAY 15 AT 10AM

Evansville, IN – Blackberry Smoke is coming to Evansville to perform at Victory Theatre on Friday, August 14. Tickets will go on sale Friday, May 15 at 10 AM. The five musicians’ instinctive musical rapport manifests itself equally strongly on such surging rockers as “Let Me Help You (Find the Door),” “Living in the Song” and Wish in One Hand,” and on such intimate, introspective tunes as “Woman in the Moon,” Too High” and the stirring, acoustic-textured “No Way Back to Eden.”

The band is on the road in support of their new album Holding All the Roses, which was released in February. The album’s musical and emotional depth demonstrates how Blackberry Smoke continues to extend and expand the Southern rock tradition. Since its formation in 2000, the band has never shied away from hard work, playing more than 250 shows a year and building an ever-expanding audience on the strength of its live shows, and with noticeable lack of mainstream hype.

Evansville Fire Department Award Recognition

On March 12, 2015 at 1650 hours, a line-up was dispatched to 739 Ravenswood on a structure fire. Almost immediately following, they declared it a working fire.

Rescue 1 arrived and gave a size up as a single story home with the front fully involved. When I arrived, I assumed command. Two lines were deployed on the B and D sides to protect the exposures. A third attack line was used on the front A side with some effect.

A report came over the air that a victim had been found and was in need of assistance at the rear C side of the house. Captain Mike Russler and Lt. Ben Pfeffer of Ladder 1 and Captain Kirk Kuhnel and Lt. Eric Word of Rescue 1 had entered the rear of the house and were in the process of bringing the victim out. The rescue was difficult. It was up a basement stairway, the doorways were closed and there was little room to open with the victim in this area. All the while, the fire burning extremely hot was being pushed through the house from the frontal attack.

The victim was brought out. Private Beth Csukas and Private Curt Diedrich were assigned to care for the victim until the AMR personnel were on scene. After the ambulance arrived, they continued their treatment and accompanied him in the transport to the hospital.

Reports came in another victim may still be in the house. Rescue 1 and Ladder 1 were given the search. Heavy fire and smoke made this difficult. The search was completed with no other victims found.

The attack on the fire was starting to make headway and the largest amount of fire on the front, and the first floor was being knocked down. There was still fire in the attic area and attack efforts were started there.

The effective exposure protection and aggressive fire attack by E1, E14, and E15 ended in a very successful stop and victim rescue. The L1 and R1 search, rescue and venting of the house, was performed in an extremely difficult and dynamic environment. These companies’ performance has led me as a Chief Officer, to have a great deal of pride in all the personnel at this fire.
