Keep Evansville Beautiful to Award McGary with Grant to Continue Gardening Program

EVSC

 

Tuesday, Oct. 15, 9 a.m.

 

McGary Middle School Courtyard
1535 S. Joyce Ave.

 

Background: Julie Mullen, family and community outreach coordinator at McGary, is receiving a grant from Keep Evansville Beautiful for seeds, plants, fertilizer, and gardening equipment such as shovels, gloves, rakes, and trash bags, to further the work of the gardens the students at McGary have created in their courtyard.

 

Students through their classes and morning gardening club have harvested, canned, and prepared several things with fruits and vegetables grown in the garden. Students have also used McGary’s Green House to start plants from seeds which now fill two beautiful flower gardens and pumpkin patches.  A butterfly garden area was also created by students.

 

The project helps students connect the dots to how science, math, and reading influence the concept of design and creation of their garden – as well as the long-term benefits to the community.

 

All of this stems from work begun through a National Education Association Priority School and Evansville Teachers Association initiative in 2011. Through their classes, students explored community issues and identified hunger and the lack of healthy food choices as a major concern – especially for low-income families, according to an article on the NEA website.   The idea for a community garden spouted following the students’ research and many classroom conversations.  NEA’s Green Across America initiative donated $3,500 in start-up monies to help fund the community garden.  Many community partners have come to the school to help with the project, as well.

IS IT TRUE October 14, 2013

IS IT TRUE that mother nature was kind to Evansville during the recent Fall Festival that went off without a hitch as always?…for those of you who attended the parade a ghost float owned by the Democrat Party of Vanderburgh County rolled by with nary a person on it?…there may have been some fear of being yanked off the float for past warrants in the air leading to the ghost float making the trip down Franklin?…there may have been no Democrats on the Fall Festival float but there will be some at the Mole Awards luncheon today including incoming Chairman Rob Faulkner who accepted his complementary admission graciously?…Republican Chairman Wayne Parke also was extended a free ticket but has not given the CCO the courtesy of an answer as of this second?…we assume Mr. Parke will not be accepting our generous invitation?

IS IT TRUE that the Civic Center Mole tells us that Mayor Lloyd Winnecke will be going to the City Council meeting tonight hat in hand to ask for money to build Roberts Park?…we find this to be a bit early to start another spending spree on the heels of the approval to provide $20 Million of incentives for a convention hotel?…this fellow needs to apply his powers of concentration on the upcoming IU Medical School project for somewhere in the City of Evansville should that become a good option?…there will have to be incentives, we have no idea how much they will be, Evansville is nearing is bond limit, and a medical school will bring much more economically sustainable prosperity than all of the Mayor and his predecessor’s $200 Million temples to sport and play combined?…this is not the time for the elected leader of Evansville to go to the City Council to beg for money to build parks or correct the Weinzapfel oversight storage shed for the Ford Center?…we hope the Mayor will get the cart in front of the horse going forward?…he has a golden opportunity to change his ways and do an exercise in prioritization starting today?

IS IT TRUE that the Mayor’s VISION program has listened to the small group of Evansvillians who have attending these planning sessions and has come up with a doable solution to placate the masses to make Evansville better?…the request is for lights in the parks?…this seems reasonable given the fact that drug use cast offs, condoms, liquor bottles and fear have been part of the park experience at night for just over a decade now?…it is possible that shining a light on the parks at night will drive out the people who have been using our park system as a drug den and a no-tell motel?…we hope that an affordable solution to darkness in the parks is proposed and that the lights will inspire cleanliness and order in the Evansville City Parks?…we also hope that such lighting does more for Evansville than make it easy to see that the parks have not been mowed and the garbage is overflowing 24/7?

IS IT TRUE that Mole #21 tells us that the City of Evansville is about to become a respondent to a lawsuit that is coming in the aftermath of yet another EPD action that filled up the City Council chambers with passionate people looking for sanity, justice, and a reasonable explanation?…it is sad but true that money often is the only arbiter of justice in this City, this State, and in the United States of America?…that civil and respectful living among all is much better than money but we seem to have a hard time learning those lessons?…it is unfortunate that the lawsuit is now the butt whipping of the 21st Century for adults who can’t seem to get things right with their fellow man?

RASCAL FLATTS PLAYS IT LIVE & LOUD AT FORD CENTER

0

Release-1

Evansville, Ind. – Perennial favorites Rascal Flatts proved they have what it takes to put on a show that delights their devoted fans when they took the stage with their “Live & Loud Tour” at the Ford Center on Saturday night. The veteran trio, made up of vocalist Gary LeVox, bassist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney spent 90 minutes serving up a full complement of their biggest country-pop hits, from “Bless the Broken Road” to “Life Is A Highway,” accompanied by massive video screens and tremendously talented back-up band members. Show openers Tyler Farr and The Band Perry proved that, with Evansville, their third time in Evansville is a charm. Tyler Farr played two dates at the Victory Theatre earlier in 2013, while The Band Perry returned to the Ford Center stage for the third time in three years, and area fans gave them each a very enthusiastic welcome. It was a night of high-energy music and fun for fans of all ages.

“The West Side Nut Club Fall Festival signals a big week in Evansville, and we thought this concert was a perfect way to top it off,” said Executive Director Scott Schoenike. “It’s always good to see so many music fans out in force and having a great time.”

The Ford Center is gearing back up for a busy event season with Lady Antebellum November 10, the Hadi Shrine Circus

November 28 – December 1, Jeff Dunham December 8, the Bill Gaither Christmas Homecoming Tour December 13, and Zac Brown Band December 29. The Evansville IceMen hockey and the University of Evansville Men’s and Women’s basketball seasons kick off October 19 (IceMen) and October 26 (UE Men).
