ST. MARY’S OFFERS FREE MAMMOGRAMS FOR THOSE WHO QUALIFY
St. Mary’s Breast Center and Mobile Digital Mammography are offering free mammograms for those who qualify, thanks to two grants.

Komen For the Cure Foundation, and the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust “Power of Hope†grant.
Digital pictures can be magnified, adjusted and previewed to see certain areas that regular film cannot. There are fewer retakes and sharper images.

Sculptor Chet Geiselman to Exhibit Work at UE GalleryÂ
Â
The work of sculptor Chet Geiselman will be on display in an exhibit at the Krannert Gallery in the Krannert Hall of Fine Arts on the University of Evansville campus from February 18-March 28. A reception will be held for Geiselman at 6:30 p.m. on March 16.
Geiselman earned a BS in Art from the University of Southern Indiana and an MFA in metalsmithing from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
He creates works that combine the familiar materials of wood and steel with re-contextualized found objects. In his works, the interplay of form and content generates a tension that is meditative, awkward, humorous, playful, and ultimately open-ended.
Geiselman grew up in a small German farming community in southern Indiana. His grandfather was a blacksmith, and his father and uncle were welders. Geiselman learned to weld and build things with his hands at a very early age. He has taught sculpture and metalsmithing at several colleges and universities over the years. He has shown his sculptures both nationally and internationally including six one-person exhibitions at Vale Craft Gallery in Chicago as well as numerous juried exhibitions.
Currently Geiselman is 3D studio manager and instructor of art – 3D foundations at Ball State University.
For more information, please call the UE Department of Art at 812-488-2043.

Wrong Way Driver on I-69 Arrested for DUI
Yesterday at approximately 5:00 p.m., Indiana State Police and Pike County Sheriff’s Department responded to I-69 after several concerned citizens contacted 911 about a wrong way driver traveling northbound in the southbound lanes near the 39.5 mile-marker, which is south of the SR 61 exit. The wrong way driver was driving a 2002 Ford Escort. Moments later the 911 dispatcher received another call that the wrong way driver was now driving north in the northbound lanes near the 41.5 mile-marker. Trooper Risley spotted the vehicle at the 45.5 mile-marker and immediately activated his emergency lights. The vehicle exited I-69 at SR 61 where the driver almost struck another vehicle that was stopped on the ramp to turn onto SR 61. The driver continued north on SR 61 a short distance before finally stopping. The driver refused to exit his vehicle and had to be forcibly removed. He was arrested without further incident. The driver was identified as Jason Jones, 43, of Washington, IN. A search of the vehicle revealed three 100mg bottles of Methadone. Further investigation revealed Jones had consumed two bottles when he was supposed to only consume one bottle. Field sobriety tests indicated Jones was impaired, but he refused to submit to a chemical test. Jones was arrested and taken to the Pike County Jail where he is currently being held on bond.
Arrested and Charges:
- Jason Jones, 43, Washington, IN
1.Driving While Intoxicated with a Prior DUI Conviction, Class 6 Felony
2.Resisting Law Enforcement, Class 6 Felony
3.Reckless Driving, Class A Misdemeanor
Jones Earns Provisional at Loaded GVSU Big Meet
University of Southern Indiana Women’s Track & Field sophomore Hope Jones (Cumberland, Indiana) earning a provisional time in the 5,000-meters was the highlight of the Screaming Eagles’ weekend at the GVSU Big Meet hosted by Grand Valley State University.
Crossing the finish line in 17 minutes, 17.47 seconds, Jones earned an NCAA II provisional time in the event to go along with her seventh-place finish. Jones also improved her career best in the 5,000-meter run be nearly 25 seconds, while competing in the event for the first time this season.
Her time is also good enough to move Jones into the top-10 of the USI record book for the 5,000-meters with the seventh-best time in school-history.
Junior Jessica Lincoln (Palatine, Illinois) recorded a 21stplace showing in the event with her time of 17:48.53.
In the 3,000-meters, senior Cathryn Peter (Tell City, Indiana) improved her season best time by nearly 26 seconds with her 46th-place showing. In a loaded field with NCAA Division I runners, Peter finished in 10:27.18.
Narrowly improving her season best in the event, sophomore Kate Henrickson (Boonville, Indiana) earned a 35th-place finish in the mile with a time of 5:11.42.
With one more tune-up before the Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Championships, the Eagles will head to Greencastle, Indiana, next Saturday, February 18, for the Depauw Classic hosted by Depauw University.
