Welding students making bike rack for Veterans Center
TODAY (12/11/18); finishing touches beginning at 9 a.m  Welding Lab
Ivy Tech Community College 3501 N. First Avenue. (Come to Room 140, first)
Background: Ivy Tech’s Welding Department is known for doing service projects and thinking outside the box on projects where students can use the skills they are learning, but help others in the process. One very notable example was when our Robotics and Welding Departments banded together to help a student who is wheel chair bound, to be able to stand so that he can work on cars (his major was Automotive Technology). They took an electric wheelchair, and revamped it to rise to a standing position.
Now there is another unique collaboration. An Ivy Tech student in the Human Services program does her clinical work at the U.S. Veterans Center. She heard a discussion recently that many veterans do not have transportation to get to their jobs or to the VA Hospital or Veterans Center, and associated locations. Knowing that Evansville has so many newly created bike lanes, and walking/biking trails, she thought perhaps Ivy Tech’s welding students could build a bike rack for the Veterans Center, and possibly another organization would donate some bikes; or vets who had bikes would have a place to safely keep them while at the location. Officials agreed this would be a great idea.
She approached Welding Program Chair John Durbin with the idea, and he agreed the students could do it. Today, the students are putting the finishing touches on the rack during finals week, and it will be presented to the Veterans Center.
Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office Prepares to Shop Tomorrow
On Tuesday, December 11, 2018, members of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office will participate in their annual “Christmas with Kidsâ€Â shopping event. This year’s event will take place from 10:00 -11:30 a.m. at the Meijer store located at 2622 Menards Drive in Evansville. Every Christmas season since 2001 the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has enjoyed providing this service to children of the Tri-State area. This year Sheriff’s deputies, confinement officers and administrative staff will again team up with the ARK Crisis Child Care Center for this special event.
During the shopping event, members and friends of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office will help the children pick out needed clothing items, as well as toys from their wish list. After shopping, the kids and center volunteers will be treated to lunch courtesy of the Meijer deli department. The ARK Crisis Child Care Center is located at 415 Lincoln Avenue in Evansville and provides care to approximately 200-250 children per month. The majority of the children served are referrals from social service agencies, medical personnel, legal aid services and the court system. ARK provides emergency crisis care to children six weeks old through six years of age for families experiencing temporary life altering challenges. This program is funded by the generous giving from the Meijer Corporation, the Art and Science of Hair Salon, and private donations from the community through the Wallis Christmas Foundation. For more information about the “Christmas with Kids†program and the Wallis Christmas Foundation, contact Lt. Mark Rasure at (812) 421-6245 or Sgt. Kerri Blessinger at (812) 421-6249.

Winders Posts Provisional Mark In 5,000 Meters
Fresh off earning All-America honors on the cross country course, University of Southern Indiana freshman Titus Winders(Mansfield, Tennessee) got an early jump on the 2018-19 indoor track & field season in an impromptu appearance at the Indiana University Hoosier Open this past Friday night in Bloomington, Indiana.
Winders competed in the 5,000 meters, where he finished fifth out of eight runners with a strong NCAA II provisional qualifying time of 14 minutes, 6.83 seconds. His time was less than two seconds off the automatic qualifying standard of 14:05.18 and currently ranks fourth in the nation.
Just a week ago, Winders posted a 30th-place finish at the NCAA II Cross Country Championships, a placement that earned him All-America honors in his first year of collegiate competition. He was the NCAA II Midwest Region Runner of the Year after winning regionals and was the Great Lakes Valley Conference Freshman of the Year after finishing second to teammate and defending GLVC champion Austin Nolan at the league meet.
USI, which began the indoor track & field season December 1 at the Vanderbilt Opener, resumes action January 11-12 at the Jim Green Invitational in Lexington, Kentucky.
