On Thursday Oct. 20th at 4:00 PM, the Board of Zoning Appeals will hear the request of the Wesselman Tennis group to grant permission for them to put an acre of beautiful park green space under roof and build indoor tennis courts.
This meeting will not be about financing the project and will only deal with permission to proceed.

A game of Jeopardy in Japanese, a tour of French cheeses, and a discussion of contemporary German music are just a few of the events planned for the seventh annual Linguapalooza, hosted by the University of Evansville’s Department of Foreign Languages.
On Thursday, October 6, approximately 150 foreign language students from 11 area high schools will attend Linguapalooza, where they will sharpen their foreign language skills by participating in cultural, conversational, and interactive sessions throughout the day.
“Linguapalooza is a great opportunity for high school foreign language students to spend a day immersed in their language of choice,†said Roger Pieroni, chair of UE’s Foreign Language Department. “Not only will they enhance their studies by working with UE’s outstanding foreign language faculty, Fulbright language teaching assistants, and foreign language majors, but through a series of workshops, they also will discover exciting attributes of the culture they have chosen to study.â€
After a welcome in UE’s Ridgway University Center, students will begin the day by taking a campus tour in their studied language (French, German, Japanese, or Spanish), led by a UE student. They will spend the rest of the morning in sessions led by UE foreign language faculty members, who will engage students in activities and discussions ranging from Latin dancing to the music of Debussy. The final session will provide a “mini-lesson†in an additional foreign language (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Japanese, Russian, or Wolof).

IS IT TRUE that some people from Boonville showed up unexpectedly at the offices of John Friend and Associates to get a copy of the petition that he is gathering signatures for to request that IURC meetings be held in Evansville and that Vectren should have no rate increases until neighboring areas have caught up with Vectren’s rates?…that the asked permission to use the words and to modify them for Warrick County?…that Councilman Friend said yes and that they said they will start gathering signatures tomorrow?
IS IT TRUE that this new group called “Occupy Evansville†has doubled its traffic in one day?…that it seems as though this group is going to march in sympathy for the protesters on Wall Street, Boston, and other American cities?…that such a gathering in Louisville yesterday attracted only around 200 people?…that we have it on good authority that there are many people associated with the Tea Party who are planning on joining this group for their march on Saturday?…that other than marchers are free to dress as zombies very little else has been stated about the reason or nature of this gathering?…that we shall find out at 1:00 pm Saturday at One Vectren Square?…that we encourage all who attend to be peaceful and respectful of the property of others?
IS IT TRUE that the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that the EPA will be announcing an ease of their restrictions on the amount of pollutants that can be emitted in 27 states?…that the allowable discharges are reportedly to be increased by between 1% and 4%?…that the states that will be having these changes have not been released but it is expected that these states will be the ones that burn predominantly coal to generate electricity?…that Indiana and Kentucky are both highly dependent on burning coal to generate electricity?…that relaxing EPA standards could be somewhat of a game changer for the expected rise in electricity prices caused by high capital improvement costs?…that this could create a real competitive quandary for places like Evansville where the expenses have already been incurred and passed on to rate payers if the close neighbors are let off of the hook to follow suit?…that the article is on the link below and that we will be watching for follow up news as it develops?

IS IT TRUE that the campaigns for the City of Evansville offices are heating up and that especially the Mayor’s race is turning into a game of dueling press releases?…that we have been treated to policy statements from both Lloyd Winnecke and Rick Davis this week and we anticipate that there will be more?…that the whole Vectren petition, Zombie Walk, bundle of energy is positive and has the potential to elevate the awareness and understanding of the area if all involved are respectful in their endeavors?…that the first week of 40 Days of Hell has lived up to its billing and that we only have 33 days to go?…that in that 33 days we will surely know if this reincarnation of the McCurdy project crashes and burns and we may even know if and who will be selected to take on the task of the downtown Convention Hotel?…that we will most certainly demand the WHY in both cases?
IS IT TRUE that we have been advised that a high profile member of the GOP is strongly considering making a public endorsement of Rick Davis for Mayor of Evansville?…that the next couple of weeks will be quite interesting?
