9A State Street, Newburgh 449.9988

How did you first get involved with volunteering in the community?

Well, I didn’t initially set out to get so wrapped up in volunteer work. It just sort of evolved out of getting deep into community music. The Hadi Shrine Band in a good example. I started playing with them about 10 years ago. That group plays at nursing homes all over the area on most Monday evenings when we’re not rehearsing at Hadi Temple.

How did you get involved in the Old Dam Commu-nity Band?

Terri and I were not yet married in December of 1997 when we “stumbled” across a Merry Tuba Christmas event at Washington Square. I mentioned that I played

the tuba from the time I was big enough to carry one until I left the U.S. Navy in 1967. She mentioned that she had played the saxophone in high school and we talked about some of our “music times.” It wasn’t long after that I bought an old beat-up Eb Holton tuba off Ebay and she retrieved the Conn C. Melody sax she played in high school. Her sax was actually purchased new for her mother in 1924.

So, here we were with a tuba and a saxophone. Nei-ther of us really knew enough about music to know exact-ly what to do with them! I played a couple of times with the Warrick County Band that was operated by John Wit-tenbraker, Larry Eiffler and Jerry Reese. That band only got together during the summer for a few rehearsals and three concerts. At that time, we didn’t know of any other bands in the area where a couple of amateurs could just sit in.

It was fall of 1969 when we tried to start a group. Most of the folks who showed up at our house on Sunday evenings were guitar players and banjo pickers — more interested in bluegrass and country music than traditional concert band music. After a couple of months, we pulled the plug and waited until after the first of the year (2000) to make another try. This time advertising for woodwind and brass players wanting to establish a new community band. There was an initial meeting on Leap Year Day

ommunityC rofileP

of 2000 attended by seven folks who vowed to return to “see what would happen.” There was a great article in the newspaper about our efforts and the next meeting yielded 17 musicians. We’ve never looked back. Terri and I found-ed the Old Dam Community Band on Feb. 29, 2000.

What is your favorite music-related memory?That would probably be the time a fellow from Owens-

boro drifted in to the Ohio Township Central Library a half an hour before a scheduled concert. We didn’t know him from Adam but he had a trombone with him so we invited him to sit in. Turns out he had just retired and moved back to Owensboro from New Orleans, where he spent many years with The Dukes of Dixieland. Al Barthlow played with us regularly for a couple of years and had told us that he came back home to Owensboro to die. Al passed away almost two years ago.

What has surprised you the most about volunteering for the community?

What surprised me most about Newburgh is that an overwhelming amount of projects here are done mainly by volunteers. I was an advisor for the Newburgh Parks Board for several years. Those folks work hard in unpaid positions to see that the Newburgh Community Park (swimming pool and For-tress of Fun) continue to provide great family places. Newburgh has an amazing amount

of public parks per capita. The 2010 census indicates that Newburgh only has about 3,200 residents. However, there are 30,000 people in the surrounding area who say they are from Newburgh.

What’s the best thing that has happened since you began volunteering for the town?

Since I do not live within the corporate limits of New-burgh, I cannot serve in an official capacity. However, there are plenty of organizations like Historic Newburgh, Inc., and another group called Friends of Newburgh that take care of organizing and running events like the Wine Festival and the Fiddler Fest to keep me as busy as I want to be.

If you could change one thing about Newburgh, what would it be?

There has been a lot of controversy about extend-ing the corporate limits of Newburgh to take in those 30,000 folks (who I mentioned earlier) who say they are from Newburgh. The additional tax base would go a long way in helping to pay for the facilities that they enjoy using. They probably think in some way that they are already paying for.

What about Newburgh do you enjoy the most?I certainly can’t overlook the fact that Newburgh has

a very nice riverfront area for a town its size.

Is there anyone who has made a major influence on you?

I’m sure there have been many folks over the years who have had an influence on me. There is one fellow I would like to meet again some day, though. He was the band director at Delaware Grade School in Evansville who handed me an old silver Eb Conn tuba and a finger-ing chart and challenged me to learn to play the thing. I don’t know the exact date, but it must have been in 1957 or ‘58. I remember lugging that huge thing four or so blocks to and from school and trying to shine it up. I did learn to play it, although I have never had a private tuba lesson. However, I did take piano lessons a few years earlier. An older fellow, Otto P. Schwitz, used to come to our house on Maryland Street to give us lessons. Mom was thinking right. My sister and I both probably retained more from those lessons that we ever thought we would.

What might someone be surprised to learn about you?

That I really do have a sensitive side!

What would you tell someone who is maybe looking to start volunteering in the community?

There are plenty of great organizations out there. They can pretty much take their pick. Some of the first ones that come to mind are: Historic Newburgh, Inc., Kiwanis (there are two clubs in Newburgh), CASA, Big Brothers, Big Sisters and of course there are great schools in the area that are in constant need of people to help with their activities.

What’s it like to be a volunteer?That is something that cannot be

quantified. There is only one way to find out. Just do it!

If you weren’t volunteering or play-ing in the Old Dam Community Band, what would you be doing?

I don’t have much free time. In fact, I don’t like that time when I’m not accom-plishing anything. Today for example, I was up at 7 a.m. and spent two hours this morning (Sunday) putting together music to add to The Band’s folders. After gathering music for 10 new pieces

(that’s somewhere in the range of 3,000 to 4,000 pages depending on the length of the piece), I spent an addi-tional six hours actually placing the music into 90 fold-ers I maintain for The Band. I’m involved with many oth-er volunteer bands in the area. The Hadi Shrine Brass Band, The Bend in the River Brass Band, The Rhine Valley Brass at Germania Mannerchor, The Owensboro Community Band and several sub-groups of The Old Dam Community Band. The Little Old Dam Band is an eight-piece ensemble that does primarily traditional jazz that many folks mistakenly refer to as ‘Dixieland’ music. I play somewhere seven days a week. If you add travel time to those typical two-hour jobs, there just isn’t much time left. The hours that are available are spent keeping my house from falling down and working on tubas for folks around the country.

What do you do when you aren’t volunteering or playing?

As I mentioned earlier, I spend some time keep-ing up with household projects. Terri works part-time as a pharmacist. When she’s away at work, I do tuba repairs in my home workshop. I own maybe 15 tubas myself and it takes a bit of time to maintain a fleet like that. There are only a handful of instrument repairmen around the country who specialize in tubas. There isn’t much demand around here but I have horns coming and going all of the time. Not much money in it but it sure is fun!

C razuAIf you have a wish or desire for some world cuisine with

a neighborhood feel, Cafe Arazu in the heart of downtown Newburgh has everything you need to satiate your taste buds.

Arazu, which means wish or desire in Persian, brings a different cultural flare to Newburgh, blending a fusion of Middle Easter cuisines with an intimate dining experience.

Ben and Penny Nejad opened Cafe Arazu three years ago.Nejad met her husband Ben Nejad — an engineer — while

attending Edinboro State College. She graduated with an art education degree.

The two settled into Evansville in 1993, eventually open-ing Cafe Arazu.

“(Penny) always had a knack for great cuisine,” said Ben Nejad.

He said some of his wife’s wants for the restaurant includ-ed a garden and a view of the river, something that the loca-tion at 17 West Jennings Street has in spades.

The menu offers an array of culture and spice.Mediterranean shrimp couscous, gyros, shwarma, lamb

and beef kabobs, curry chicken salad, as well as chicken and artichoke wraps are just a few of the items on the menu.

Penny Nejad said one of the heavily requested items is kubideh, which is two skewers of flame broiled minced beef and lamb, mixed with seasonings and grated onions.

The Tandoori butter chicken is also a perennial favorite. This dish is comprised of succulent pieces of chicken in a

creamy and vibrant Tandoori sauce, served with white, long grained rice and Shirazy salsa.

Dessert includes pineapple pecan carrot cake, cheesecake and baklava ala Arazu, which is nutty, honey soaked layers of delicate pastry.

There’s also Penny’s Lithuanian torte, which features eight flaky, buttery layers with French cream filling a hint of apricot.

A nice stroll on the Rivertown Trail at dusk has everything you need except for one item — ice cream.

The boutique offers an array of different flavors of premium Blue Bunny ice cream, as well as homemade waffle cones.

Breakfast and sandwiches are also served.

But Nejad said he wanted to offer more.With his time as mechanical engineer,

he said he got the opportunity to try many types of wines from around the world.

“Wine is my hobby,” he said. “My spe-cialty. My wife, Penny, is also a good judge of wine.”

The couple sampled 122 different wines in order to create a selection of white and red from across the world to display.

In the wine selection room, Ben and Penny’s offers a small bar for patrons to sit at and relax while sampling the various vino.

With that, Nejad decided to dedicate a section of Ben and Penny’s for wine, vari-ous cheeses and chocolates.

Newburgh Fidd ler FestIit’s a tradition that’s been going on

for more than 30 years. The New-burgh Fiddler Fest will be held Aug. 23-25 on the riverfront. It almost became a thing of the past several years ago when the coordinating organization discussed ending the tradition. Another organization — HNI — stepped in and took over the planning and organiza-tion, but eventually turned the reigns over to the Friends of Newburgh.

The event was held in Septem-ber until 2012, when it was moved to August.

The name comes from the sound of the gills of a certain size of catfi sh. Fishermen on the Ohio River claimed that the gills made a noise similar to that of a fi ddler dragging his bow across the instrument’s strings. The fi d-dlers are prepared, battered, fried and served by a team of volunteers.

In addition to food, the Newburgh Fiddler Fest also features local musi-cians and arts and crafts vendors.

Sitting in the backyard of Newburgh is one of the fi nest golf courses in America. Victoria National Golf Club

was rated the 47th best golf course in the United States by Golf Digest in 2013.

Designed by Tom Fazio, Victoria National has been a tournament level golf course since it opened in 1998.

Fazio is known around the world for his golf courses, including designing two Trump National courses.

Victoria National sits on 440 acres of land and is 7,242 yards from the Victorian Tees. The shortest distance is 5,013 yards from the Darlington Tees.

Depending on the skill level, there are fi ve sets of tees for golfers to use with a total of 121 tee boxes, creating versatility.

The longest hole on the course is the par 5, third hole. This hole is 578 yards with a patch of bunkers on the left side down the middle of the fairway and has water down the entire left side of the hole. What makes the tee shot dif-fi cult is high grass on the right side, making a perfect shot down the middle important. Until the ball is within 100 yards

of the hole, golfers are unable to see the pin because of the mound in front of the green.

The shortest hole on the course is the par 3, seventh hole which is 183 yards. The green is long and narrow, but be care-ful as a bunker sits on the left and water is to the right.

One thing that you will see on almost every hole is water. The first and 10th hole are the only ones golfers won’t have to worry about getting wet. Dealing with the water is one of the things that makes Victoria National challenging.

“In the golfers mind,” Victoria National Head Golf Professional Chris Schindler said, “very few things are more intimidat-ing than having to hit over water, regard-less of the distance.”

National challenging is the appearance of not having a safe shot.

“It simply appears there isn’t a place to miss a shot,” Schindler said. “Combine with the fast greens, well placed bunkers, healthy rough and plenty of water and Victoria National offers enough challenge of any caliber of player.”

The hardest hole on the course is the par 4, sixth. The sixth is the longest par 4 on the course, playing 474 from the Victorian Tees. The green also has three levels with severe angulations, making putting diffi cult.

While the course is made to challenge all different calibers, the fi ve tee boxes on every hole make Victoria National enjoyable for all skill levels.

Over the years, Victoria National has hosted some national tournaments. In 2006, they hosted the United States Senior Amateur and in 2008 the AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions.

Currently, Victoria National is the home for the PGA TOUR Web.com United Leasing Championship. Victoria National hosted the ULC last year and will be the home

for it this summer and again in 2014.Last year’s tournament went in to a playoff between

Peter Tomasulo and David Lingmerth, with Tomasulo winning with a score of 11 under.

Victoria National also has the distinct honor of being Audubon Certifi ed. Which means, not only is the course maintained, but the natural areas and wildlife as well.

“We provide a habitat for numerous species of wild-life,” Schindler said. “We also use very little chemical based applications and opt more for natural types of fertilization and turf control.”

Victoria National also has all the tools for one to improve their golf game. Members can hit Victoria Na-tional’s expansive putting green, short game area with bunkers and hitting area to practice 80 yard and in shots, three different practice tee complexes that help to insure great turf year round and multiple target greens and indoor teaching center.

Victoria National also offers private instructions to golfers, utilizing state of the art technology, including, V1 Teaching Software and the Flight Scope Launch monitor.

•Know your budget. It sounds simple, but too often buyers plunge head fi rst without considering the depth of their fi nancial “pool.” Make a list of your money expenses such as rent, utilities, car payments, student loans and credit card payments. And don’t forget groceries and insurance. Maybe a little less house payment will mean a little more recreation. A wise buyer always takes the time to

•Know your lifestyle. Do you love that large lot? How about lots of shade trees? That charming old Victorian with the beautifully-painted gingerbread trim? If you hate to perspire and sneeze when the door opens, then maybe you should consider a smaller yard and maintenance-free exterior — or budget for lawn and mainte-nance services.

•Have a family meeting. A great way to consider every member of the family’s needs is to have each member write down his most important feature for the new home. Is it a kitchen that a chef would envy? How about an extra room for games, leisure time or hobbies? Maybe you would like a workshop or a large garage. A fence for the children or pets could be an expensive cost to the new home owner, so a home with an existing fence could ease the

budget. And remember, those two-acre lots mean a higher purchase price and more cost to upkeep.

•Consult Professionals. This is most likely the largest purchase of your life, so surround yourself with knowledgeable help. Experi-enced real estate attorneys, title companies, mortgage lenders, accountants, licensed home in-spectors, land surveyors and real estate agents will provide expert advice and assist you with your purchase.

With some planning and care-ful consideration of your lifestyle and budget, making your new home purchase in our very special community will be your American dream come true!

od’sG ardenGod’sG od’sG od’s G ardenG ardenNEWBURGH’S SLICE OF HEAVEN

It may be Newburgh’s little piece of Heaven. For Jim and Mary Ann Wilsbacher, it is a calling from God.

The Wilsbachers bought a piece of property behind their home in 2005. Jim planned on building low-rise duplexes, but Mary Ann said that God told her he wanted a garden. The garden was completed in 2006.

“God told me that he wanted a garden there,” Mary Ann said. “He said that we could have the property, but we had to share it, so the best thing to do was to make it a public garden.”

The garden is maintained mostly by Jim and Mary Ann, but volunteers do come in every once in a while to help. This spring, Jim was recovering from an injury and 20 people came out to help the couple spread mulch.

The Wilsbachers are in their 60s. They have no thoughts of selling the property or doing anything else

with it, but they don’t have successors set up to take over when they can no longer maintain it.

“Our kids live out of town, so there’s not much chance they’re going to want to keep it going,” Jim said. “So I suspect at some point it will get sold and maybe the property separated again.”

The Wilsbachers allow the property to be used for weddings free of charge.

The couple said they have very few problems. Ear-lier this year, though, they had problems with the pump in a waterfall in the garden. There is a sign asking that people stay off the waterfall and the surrounding rocks, but Mary Ann is concerned that people either don’t see it or ignore it.

“In general, it is private property and we ask people to respect it as such and help us to take care of it and keep it in good shape for everyone to enjoy,” Jim said.

ewburghNGIRLS SOFTBALL

Castle High School’s softball program has always had a rich tra-dition of winning. While the high school deserves most of the

credit, the athletes don’t start playing when they enter high school. By the time they step foot on the softball fi eld at Castle, they have played hundreds of games. The success of high school programs starts at the youth level and for softball, that program is Newburgh Girls Softball (NGS).

Located on Vann Road, children can start playing softball at the age of 4. Four and 5 year-olds will hit off of a tee or a pitching ma-chine. The 6U and 8U teams will also hit off of a pitching machine. Starting with the 10U teams, the girls will hit off of live pitching.

NGS also offers 12U and 18U slow pitch softball.There are more than 40 teams and 500 girls that call NGS home.

There are seven fi elds, with six of them having lights, allowing games to be played at night. There are also four batting cages that teams and individuals can use to improve their hitting.

NGS also hosts fi ve tournaments each year. One of the tourna-ments is the Susan G. Komen, which helps raise money for breast cancer research. During this three-day tournament, more than 120 softball games will be played.

NGS also hosts state tournaments and national tournament quali-fi ers. Playing in these tournaments, teams have the chance to quali-fy for world series tournaments across the country.

Teams don’t just play games and tournaments at NGS, they also hit the road and show off what Newburgh softball teams have to of-fer. NGS has the proud ability to say they have had a team play in the USSSA Girls Fast Pitch World Series in Orlando, FL at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex.

NGS also awards a $500 scholarship to a graduating female stu-dent. Any girl that has been involved with NGS for at least four years is eligible for this.
