Tri-State grocers, farmers discuss fighting food insecurity
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Grocers and farmers come together at the CK Newsome Center to talk about grocery trends, rising grocery store prices, how to keep Evansville fed and increasing food security. Some ideas toward those goals range from storing food long term and giving people the sources to local foods. Those key people in keeping Evansville healthy are working toward the purpose of leaving no one hungry, reducing food waste and having all residents know where their next meal is coming from. Wednesday is about connecting the area's 80+ pantries with the city commission on food security. 'The relationship — making sure we alleviate food waste, making sure that we highlight our local farmers, making sure that we understand the trends because when prices of food go up, then that means more food insecurity goes up. And we as a commission need to know all these things,' says Lisa Vaughan who serves as executive director for Feed Evansville. Nutritionists, farmers and food preparers are offering solutions toward alleviating that food waste. 'We're talking about saving foods. We can always can them, long-term storage,' says Genevieve McGuire from First Fruits Cannery. Mary Winstead is one of those farmers here at the summit. She's with Local Source which connects producers with locally grown foods year round. It's also working to get more farmers into the business. 'There's no food without farms,' Winstead says. 'You can talk about food all day long, but if you don't have a farmer and a land space for that person to be growing, then this doesn't exist at all.' Some of those trends in grocery businesses relating to budgets are that items like cereal, flour and potatoes are beginning to be sold in bulk. Some grocery shoppers are likely to buy seeds and plant instead of buying fully grown produce. It's all ideas discussed which the commission hopes to implement in its strategic plan to Mayor Stephanie Terry and the city council.

More than 100 gather in Madisonville to protest Trump administration, Garcia deportation
MADISONVILLE, Ky. (WEHT) — 110 people gather on Saturday on Main Street to say what they believe are America's founding principles are under attack. What started as an idea in Madisonville became a block-wide demonstration opposing what many say is President Donald Trump's effort to push the United States into authoritarianism. It's what plenty say is an effort to safeguard American democracy and the Constitution after what some claim is poor behavior from the president. Madisonville's protest comes on the heels of what the current administration considers a mistake of deporting Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia who immigrated illegally to the U.S. but was living legally in America since 2019. President Trump and his allies claim Garcia is part of the designated terrorist group MS-13. 'One of the worst things that he's done — being a trial lawyer for 43 years — is to see a man from Maryland sent to El Salvador that hadn't been charged with a damn thing, and it happened without due process of the law,' says a demonstrator who took the podium. 'This is not who we are,' says another demonstrator taking the podium. 'No kings. Let's say it together. No kings! No kings!' 'That's what we're saying today on the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War in Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts in 1775 — on this very day. We're sick. We said then 'no kings' and now we're saying 'no kings. no authoritarians,'' says former city councilor Mark Lee. I'm told Saturday's protest will not be the last demonstration.

'Pulls on your heartstrings': demolition starts on former Sauced building, Thayer Mansion
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Demolition gets underway after a massive fire on Christmas Day left a restaurant in ruins. The Italian restaurant Sauced and the Thayer Mansion is coming down where birthdays, weddings and receptions were celebrated. After standing tall in Evansville for decades those two buildings at 1113 Parrett Street are coming down after a fire heavily damaged Sauced on Christmas last year. Some say it's heartbreaking. Some on-lookers tell me a piece of Evansville history and what some credit as the spark in the neighborhood revitalization effort will be gone sooner rather than later. Sauced Owner Scott Schymik certainly has made an impression on the city and the customers who came through the door. Brian Buxton who runs the ever-popular Fingers, Fork, Knife & Spoon Facebook page is just one of them. 'Sauced: it was one people's favorite Italian restaurants in town. I had been for many times for dinner. They had a great outdoor patio. Scott obviously is a great chef, had a great menu and it's sad when you lose anything like this,' Buxton says. Construction crews began taking down what house the beloved restaurant, ballroom and the former Kirby's Private Dining where several people hold special memories. That includes Moriah Hobgood who ran the blue bar for two years and now owns Mo's House which sits across the street from hallowed grounds. 'I literally would not be where I am without Sauced, and Scott and the blue bar and what it is. So, it definitely pulls at your heartstrings to see it being torn down and not being part of the neighborhood anymore for sure,' Hobgood says. Schymik tells me the Christmas Day fire waterlogged the entire building and someone was also renting the upstairs apartment. Some say it's a loss, but they have memories to hold close for life. 'It was Sauced — I felt like — was the first thing that was here — Kirby's — and people got married there. They had huge moments, first dates, the married later on. I don't exactly know how to process seeing it gone or what it will look like,' Hobgood says. Schymik believes crews will stay on scene for a couple weeks to finish the demolition.

Demolition of former Sauced slated for next week
HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – Demolition of a restaurant in Evansville's Arts District is slated for next week as uncertainty hangs over the property's future. The owner of the former Sauced says the plan is to tear down the two buildings on Parrett Street Monday. Saunced was in Haynie's Coroner and caught fire on Christmas. It's attached to another building and the owner says the structures are open to animals, the elements and homeless activity. Some people wish to save the buildings given the historical nature of the Arts District, but no concrete plans have materialized. As for future plans, the owner says he's going to 'create something' and to 'not expect an empty lot for two years.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
