Cargill makes improvements at Mount Vernon Cargill Grain Company has announced that it is making a major upgrade to its Mount Vernon, Ind., grain facility in order to keep up with an increase in customer demand.

Cargill is an international company that produces and markets food, agricultural, financial and industrial products and services. Its Mount Vernon facility purchases grain — mostly corn, soybeans and wheat — from farmers, then ships that grain to customers.

The upgrade will add four new grain storage bins, giving Mount Vernon an extra 3.4 million bushels of storage capacity. It will also add an-

other truck receiving pit, as well as automated control systems that can monitor the temperature of grains in storage.

“We’re excited. This is a great opportunity and a great investment,” said Jonathan Lopez, general manager for Cargill’s operations in Mount Vernon; Evansville; Princeton, Ind.; Vincennes, Ind.; and McLeansboro, Ill. The project represents a multimillion-dollar investment for Cargill, Lopez said, but he declined to be more specific about costs.

Lopez said Cargill is seeing an increase in both the number of farmers who sell to Cargill

and the number of customers who buy grain from the company for use in biofuel and as food for people and animals.

Construction is set to begin in January, and the work should be complete in November 2011. Cargill said it expects to hire 75 local contract workers for the construction.

Currently, 20 people work at Cargill’s Mount Vernon facility. Lopez said it remains to be seen whether the company will add extra workers once the expansion is complete.

“We’ll continue to monitor that and make those investments as we need to.”

Promise, handicap are impetus for photographer

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon native Jeanna (Reeder) Crossen knows the value of a promise. Her dad wanted to be a professional photographer all his life like his father before him, but ill health prevented him. When he was dying, Jeanna promised him she would finish what his father started. Within a couple of weeks in April 2009, Crossen had opened Third Generation Photography in honor

of her late grandfather Elmer Horrace Reeder and her late father Wiley Wallace Reeder.

A self-taught photographer, Crossen specializes in portraits and wedding photography. Since she started her business in New Harmony, she’s photographed over 200 families. This past October, she relocated her studio to Mount Vernon, converting her two-car garage into a photographer’s paradise.

In addition to studio shots, Crossen enjoys outdoor photography at various special locations in New Harmony, Mount Vernon and Evansville.

Her website, www.thirdgenphoto.com, reveals her love of the natural world.

She’s earned recognition as the official photographer for the Jerusalem Ridge Bluegrass Festival. The designation pleases the bluegrass music fan and her husband Brian, a native West Virginian, who hosts a bluegrass jam in their home every year at Christmas. He’s impressed she’s rubbed elbows with the likes of Ralph Stanley, Larry Sparks and David Davis.

“I specialize in emotional shots to tell a story,” Crossen states. About her wedding photos, for example, she says, “My assistant and I capture memories, not just pictures. Our goal is to remind the bride and groom of all the fun, love and happiness that was shared at their wedding through our work, so they can cherish it for years to come.”

Crossen hears often from clients, “You allowed me to be myself, and you captured that.”

Crossen lives by the “genius” theory that “photogenic is just a word.” She insists, “I can’t stand the word photogenic. It’s just a word. You have to have the right photographer to bring the real

Inside this issue...

ThePCN

By Pam Robinson The Town of New Harmony started celebrating the New Year on Thursday, December 30, when the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, or OCRA, officially announced the $500,000 grant award for the building of the new fire and emergency medical services station. The new 6,560-square-foot steel frame structure will be located 1/8 mile east of New Harmonie Healthcare at the old fairgrounds and is scheduled to be completed by November this year.

The grant application was the second New Harmony had submitted to OCRA for funding of the fire and emergency medical services station. Town President David Campbell credits community-wide efforts with the project’s success.

“We were properly prepared when we submitted the first application,” Campbell stated. “There were just some technical issues that had to be addressed. The [Town] Board, [Fire Chief] Scott Miller and [Assistant Fire Chief] Larry Robb, the fire department and EMS went about and addressed these issues to bring about this positive resolution. There were a lot of letters of support from the community and just a lot of positive response.”

Councilman Don Gibbs stressed, “I think it was the positive outlook of the community that made all the difference.”

person out and capture that.”

Some of her greatest inspiration comes from her own struggle with Tourette’s syndrome.

Many will remember her as the only girl who ever played sixth and seventh grade football at Mount Vernon Junior High School. It was her way to “tackle Tourette’s.”

Crossen comments, “I want to inspire people to do something and not let disabilities hold them back. Life’s too short. If you want to do something, do it. Don’t let anything hold you back. I’ve had Tourette’s since I was about 8 years old. It’s been a struggle at times, but all in all, I didn’t let it stop me from doing anything I wanted to do.”

Her determination and enthusiasm are great qualities to pass down to her four sons: Zac (2), Brady (11), Tyler (12) and Alex (15).

Crossen’s studio is located at 733 Walnut in Mount Vernon, at the corner of Eighth and Walnut streets. Her studio sitting fee is $35 and outdoor fee is $45. Packages start at $45.

The Christmas special just ended. Crossen borrowed puppies from Posey Humane Society to pose with families donating a percentage of her profits to the humane society. For those who missed this opportunity, Crossen will run an Easter special in April with live baby bunnies and baby ducks.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Saturdays are reserved for wedding photography. The studio is also open every other Sunday. For more information, visit Crossen’s website at www.thirdgenphoto.com, email her at thirdgenphoto@att.net, or call her at 812-4495510.

By Pam Robinson Cindy Barker and Katie Buchanan are excited to offer the Curves Circuit with Zumba® workout at their Mount Vernon Curves location at 230 College Avenue.

Beginning today, women may mix in the high-energy Latin-inspired dance-fitness moves of the Zumba® program with a 30-minute total body workout provided by the machines on the Curves circuit. Participants alternate in one-minute intervals between the strength training machines and Zumba® moves.

The Zumba® sessions are offered twice every Tuesday through Thursday. Right now, the schedule calls for Zumba® from 5:30-6 p.m. and 6-6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays; from 7:30-8 a.m. and 8-8:30 a.m. on Wednesdays; and from noon to 12:30 p.m. and 12:30-1 p.m. on Thursdays. Barker and Buchanan note, however, the times may vary according to interest once Curves members get started with the sessions.

The sessions are open to Curve members only and cost $2 each.

Only licensed Zumba® instructors who have completed additional training for “Zumba® in the Circuit” are eligible to teach the classes at Curves. “These Zumba® sessions are not high impact aerobics like actual Zumba® classes,” Buchanan emphasizes.

Zumba® provides benefits for muscular endurance.

Curves members are enjoying the dance-fitness moves so much that the pilot program in Texas now boasts a 94 percent participation

rate. Barker and Buchanan want to offer the same fun to members at their location.

Still, Buchanan assures members, “Curves will still be Curves and will keep the traditional circuit just the same as usual.”

The Mount Vernon Curves draws members from high school and college age and beyond. Their oldest member is 85 years old. “I’d match her against anyone,” Buchanan insists. “I can’t keep up with her myself.”

Curves is open Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. and on Friday from 6:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. In appreciation of the Mount Vernon community, Barker and Buchanan are running a New Year’s special. New members may join for half price ($49.50), and then sign a 12-month contract for only $34/ month. For more information, please call Katie Buchanan or Cindy Barker at 812-838-0999.

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (or 200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

PCCF now accepting grant proposals Carol Schmidt, chair of the Grants and Distribution Committee of the Posey County Community Foundation (PCCF), a fund of the Community Foundation Alliance in Evansville, announced that the Foundation is accepting applications for grants to community organizations. Proposals are sought for charitable projects and activities that address needs and opportunities in the county in health, human services, arts and culture, education, community development, and other areas that would improve Posey County.

Due to the prolonged down investment market, distributions and grants will be limited during the 2011 year. The maximum amount for funding will be limited to $3,500 per program or

project. Even though the available to grant money is reduced this fiscal year, the Foundation would like to support organizations when they need it the most. During these extraordinary economic times, the Foundation is committed to creating positive impact and partnering with other nonprofits to improve our community.

Only those agencies or organizations which are tax exempt under 501(c)(3) and 509(a) are eligible to apply for the over $34,000 available for granting. Proposals must be postmarked and supporting documents delivered to the PCCF office in the Old National Bank Building at 402 Main Street in Mt. Vernon by 4:00 p.m. on March 1, 2011. Grant applications may be obtained by logging on to the Foundation website

at www.poseycommunityfoundation.org.

The Foundation’s grants committee will host two grant program orientations to answer questions about how to submit the best possible proposal, as well as to offer general grant-writing advice. The session, conducted by Julie Eickhoff, Foundation Director for the Foundation, will be held from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on January 11 at the Alexandrian Public Library in Mt. Vernon and from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on January 13 at North Posey High School in Poseyville. Those wishing to attend, or who have additional questions, should call the PCCF office at 812-8380288 to register.

Grants will be awarded at the Foundation’s Annual Meeting in June.

Further criteria apply. The deadline to apply is January 19, 2011.

Applicants are required to submit their applications online this year. Detailed information is available for both programs at www.poseycommunityfoundation.org

or by calling Julie Eickhoff, director of the Foundation, at 812.838.0288.

The Posey County Community Foundation is a charitable organization formed to strengthen the community by awarding grants to local nonprofits, by bringing individuals together to address community needs, and by offering personalized charitable gift planning services to our donors.

The Foundation is made up of a collection of endowed funds – like scholarship funds – established by donors from all walks of life and generally focused on charitable endeavors in their own communities. For more information about the Foundation, contact Eickhoff at 812.838.0288 or Julie@ poseycommunityfoundation.org.

OPINION

After trip to Orlando, I believe in SEC football Few things happen in my day-to-day life that are “normal.”

A few weeks ago, I decided that I would like to see the Capital One Bowl Game in Orlando, Fla., TRUTH... on New Year’s Day. After STRANGER all, I have been to the game THAN several times and always FICTION before the stadium has been BY DAVE clean, the weather beautiful, PEARCE and the game close. Actually, it was just a few years ago that I went to my first bowl game and it was the Capital One Bowl game. It made a good impression and I have come back several times.

But like I said, few things I do are “normal.” I decided to heed the advice of friends and get the tickets well ahead of time. Then, I decided to leave out of Owensboro-Davies County Airport. Overall, it was a good decision.

However, leaving out of a “country” airport gives lots of opportunities to hear and see what is going on around you. Not everyone who flies in from Florida immediately understands the Kentucky accent and it was the source of confusion for some of those waiting in the small terminal for their return flight to Florida.

I talked my long-time friend Bob Largent into going with me to the game. Not having flown out of Owensboro before, I was pleasantly surprised when the plane that came in from Orlando was a large plane and

we would not have to worry about having to help the plane become airborn.

As luck would have it, I would have the pleasure of sitting back-toback with perhaps the most grouchy woman on earth in the terminal while we waited for those coming from Orlando to deplane.

“There is no way in the world people should have to stand in line to get through security at an airport,” the woman retorted.

“There is just no excuse for it. It’s the first time I have seen anything like this.”

If that was, indeed the case, the woman hasn’t flown lately. She complained about everything from the comfort of the chairs to the number of people who would be joining her on the flight. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for a young mother who was flying alone with two young children and wound up sitting near her in the terminal. Not only was she miserable, she managed to make everyone around her miserable.

Once we got onto the plane, of all the seats on the plane, she ended up in the row ahead of me and across the aisle. So, I had the honor of listening to her complain to anyone who would listen throughout the flight to Florida.

But on the other hand, I did not realize that I was sitting next to a celebrity. A woman in her 80s had been home to visit her family in Southern Indiana for the holidays. She, on

the other hand, was a real case. She watched as the grouchy lady complained and wondered how she was able to survive if she was as unhappy as she appeared to be.

But the lady who sat next to me was looking forward to spending New Year’s Eve with her son and his friends when she got to the Orlando area. After all, she informed me, her nickname is “Miller Lite Mama.”

She said she just couldn’t wait to celebrate the beginning of a new year.

Once we landed in Orlando, few things went right. If you do fly out of Owensboro, please be advised that you will not be flying into the normal large Orlando Airport. And if you are like me, that was a real positive, except for the rental car, which I had had booked in error at the wrong airport. And, of course, all kinds of terms are involved when you rent a car and pay in advance so I had my choice to pay $75 for a taxi ride to the other airport or rent a car to go and pick up my reserved car. I was informed that would be $40. However, after taxes and gasoline were added, that little trek across Orlando would cost me about $80. And, my rental agent made it clear, my reservation was non-refundable so my choices didn’t

look good. If I did pay the $75 to get to the other airport and my reserved car, I would have to do the same thing when I came back. If I decided to rent a car, I would have to pay the same to get there and then to get back. If I decided just to rent a different car at the airport where we arrived, I would lose the money I had paid for the car I had reserved.

Fortunately, the company I had booked the car through worked with me. I did find out something that I already know, the rental car companies that share counter space in the airport are all about helping each other a whole lot more than they are about helping the customer. But that’s another story for another day.

On game day, the weather was beautiful but the game was pathetic. I am a fan of the Big Ten but Michigan State had absolutely no business on the same field with Alabama.

As a matter of fact, I can’t for the life of me see how the Crimson Tide lost three times this year.

But when all was done, it was a good trip.

We had fun and I got a little break from my hectic schedule. And I got to meet a real celebrity.

Events of 2010 kept song in my heart and prayer on lips “Keep a song in your heart,” my elementary music teacher, the late Vivian Omer would always say in parting. When I look back on 2010, my heart songs came from making memories, not from collecting memorabilia. I look back on people and FOR THE events – not stuff – for inspi- RECORD ration.

First of all, the universe BY PAM seemed to conspire to affirm ROBINSON my writing. In the spring, the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana awarded me first and second place for published samples of two kinds of writing along with a $500 professional development scholarship. In October, author Sheila Bender emailed me about my winning in the fall Writing It Real contest. Three of us may enroll this year at no cost in an online writing class in addition to enjoying a free 30-minute phone consultation with Bender about our writing. Some of us are late bloomers, and we need this kind of nurturing to prevent us from withering on the vine.

My writing afforded my little family of three our second week-long vacation together in 12 years. On assignment in Orlando late last March, I was so proud, along with my husband Jim and teen daughter Jessica, to see the Mount Vernon Marching Wildcats wind their way around Main Street USA in Disneyworld. We learned it truly is a small world after all when dreams came true for so many Mount Vernon families at Disney last year.

Of course, every week as a writer brings me fresh adventure. Every time I go out and about now, I see someone whose story I’ve

told. I’ve traveled back roads I never even knew existed to get some of those stories.

I’d lived in Mount Vernon for 19 years before I started writing for the Posey County News, and only since then have Posey people and places really become familiar to me. Making those connections is definitely the best part of my job. I now feel as if I belong to this community and take pride in doing some small part to help it grow and thrive.

My life outside work brought me many blessings as well. Jim and I celebrated 21 years of marriage on July 14. We’ve found through attending two Community Marriage Builder, or CMB, weekends last year that we’re doing a few things right. We highly recommend CMB programming to other couples. On October 3, First Presbyterian Church in Mount Vernon received me as a member. Affirmation of my marriage and my spiritual journey mean, of course, even more than affirmation of my writing.

Seeing our children succeed at school and at work has delighted me also. I am so proud of the accomplishments of my daughter Jessica and her two big brothers, Allen and Jamie, and their families. Every parent understands how good it is to say, “Those are my kids,” when they’re caught doing something well.

Heart songs rise from the joy of unearned relationships with people and undeserved participation in events. That’s the stuff dreams are made of—and where the real treasure lies.

Letter to the Editor Americans losing rights by yielding to fear

Gavel Gamut’s “Resolutions By Proxy” There are people who need to make New Year’s resolutions such as to complete home projects, lose weight, exercise and keep their cell phones turned on. I, on the other GAVEL hand, need not make any GAMUT such commitments; I am married. Peg has already resolved BY JUDGE that I will do these things and JIM REDWINE many others. Therefore, I can concentrate on making helpful and well intentioned suggestions on how others should live their lives.

Let’s start with Uncle Sam. Sam, for 2011 I respectfully suggest you balance your checkbook. If it’s good enough for us, it should be okay for you. And, how about referring to the Preamble of our Constitution and provide for a common defense, not a program of foreign invasion. You know, Sam, the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Spanish, French, English, Germans, Japanese and Russians bankrupted themselves financially and morally by trying to control the whole world. Perhaps we should resolve to do things differently.

Coach Kevin Wilson of Indiana University’s 2011 football program, let’s resolve to win actual victories not just moral ones. Yes, those near misses provide untold post-game, angst ridden bull sessions, but just think what winning the Rose Bowl would do.

Matt Damon, listen up. You were meant to play Jason Bourne, not some misplaced western lawman. I know you may get tired of beating the C.I.A. at its own game. Well, get over it. Is being rich and famous all that bad?

To all those drivers who do not realize there

are other people on the road, please resolve to: eliminate drunk driving; slow down in bad weather; dim your lights, use your fog lights only when it is foggy; and quit lollygagging in the passing lane.

Telephone operators should resolve to speak some kind of recognizable language and never put callers on hold or transfer them to a computer.

Also, if callers must divulge their full names, shouldn’t the operators?

All commercial airlines should resolve to get passengers off planes within ten minutes of arrival and never leave passengers on the tarmac for more than thirty minutes.

Television news people based in New York City should resolve to travel beyond the Adirondacks and discover the rest of America exists.

Washington, D.C. news people should resolve to consider the possibility there may be some public servants who really do serve the public.

Government workers should resolve to remember who pays their checks.

And as we begin 2011, judges should resolve to remind ourselves every day that: “There but for fortune ….”

There are plenty of other people and organizations that might benefit from the resolutions I could make for them, however, Peg is dragging me away from the comfort of our warm home with a steely resolution of her own. She has decided that my next resolution is to repaint the garage doors. I thought they looked pretty good already, silly me.

I have been watching the controversy concerning the airport security searches that are presently taking place all over American. I am “shocked” and “amazed” how easily our citizens are giving up their constitutional rights that were paid for by the tremendous sacrifice of our Veterans.

If you don’t want to pass through an airport scanner that allows security agents to see an image of your naked body or to process through a manual search, then you are subject to sanctions by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). That may include the possibility of not being allowed to fly.

The Transportation Security Administration, under the leadership of John Pistole is warning that any commercial airline passenger who enters an airport security checkpoint and refuses to go through the method of humiliation dictated by the TSA ,will not be allowed to fly and furthermore, will not be permitted to leave the airport.

Any person choosing to avoid these extremely intrusive searches, will have to remain on the premises to be further questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest are sanctions that may be provided for you if you exercise your constitutional rights.

As a Vietnam War Era Veteran, I personally would not be subjected to an “x-ray machine” search or a “groping” by some TSA representative with a high school education.

It is reminiscent of Nazi-Germany in preWorld War II. The citizens of this country

had better wake up and see what is taking place in America today. The Government of the United States is slowly but surely taking away our freedoms. They have implemented the Patriot Act, which basically does away with the “Bill of Rights” if the President so chooses and declares Marshal Law. Ever since 9-11 people are all too willing to give up their rights in the name of a little “so called safety.” Don’t you get it people?

You have already lost if you allow the radical terrorist to change your life in this manner. If you are living “scared,” then they have won.

My father served in World War II under General Patton and I can assure you if he were still alive today, that he would have some choice words for the TSA and none of them would be printable .

Personally speaking, I would much rather take my chances and live free under the Constitution of the United States of America than to go meekly into submission and allow my life to be changed on a daily basis because of a few “cowards.”

Lady Wildcats are 8-1, 3-0

Wildcat senior Jenny Koch uses her quick footwork to put pressure defense on the visiting Pioneers from Boonville during the recent conference matchup on Thursday.

The Wildcats improved their record to 8-1 and 3-0 in the Big 8 Conference.

By Dave Pearce Mount Vernon High School girls’ basketball Coach Steve Mitchell knew his team would have to be on top of their game. They were hosting the Boonville Pioneers who are enjoying one of their best seasons in a long time.

They came into Mount Vernon on Thursday evening with confidence and sporting a 7-2 record.

The Pioneers were able to hang with Mount Vernon for one quarter but under the pressure being applied by the Lady Wildcats, the Pioneers were further behind at every stop, eventually falling by a 52-36 count.

“They have a good team but I thought our defense stepped up especially this game,” Mitchell said during a Sunday evening interview.

“On offense, they keyed on Carynn Koch and she had a great floor game, finishing with eight rebounds and seven assists.”

The recipient of some of those assists was Jayce Ritzert, who finished with a team-high 17 points. Megan Randall had 15 and Jade Dixon finished the night with 12.

Mitchell said the Wildcat defense was key to the game, as the Wildcats were able to get some cheap baskets off steals and turnovers.

While happy with the 8-1 start and the 3-0 record in the conference, Mitchell is far from ready to declare his teams’ supremacy in the Big Eight. Remaining

Carmel, with their talented freshman along with a date with the Vincennes Alices and a trip to Jasper still waiting in the wings.

Mitchell said he is extremely proud of this team and the way the individuals have come together to do whatever they have to do to make a better team.

•Water Superintendent Chuck Gray commended his crew for their recent work to stop three leaks within a 24-hour period. He stated the crew worked for 36 hours straight with no break in freezing temperatures. He added only a small localized boil order resulted. “I’d put them [his crew] up against any crew in the state,” Gray concluded.

The Mount Vernon City Council will meet again Monday, January 10, 2011 at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

Councilwoman Linda Warrum added, “Our Clerk-Treasurer [Karla Atkins] put together lots of figures for this data collection job.”

The entire half-million dollar grant will be used for construction costs. Another $146,700 matching funds will be used as follows: $54,800 for construction costs; $46,900 for professional fees; $5,000 for labor standards; $2,000 for environmental review; and $38,000 for administration. The $146,700 in matching funds will be provided by the Town General Fund ($108,200), the Blaffer Trust ($25,000) and the Posey County Community Foundation ($13,500).

“The Posey County Community Foundation had to be on board before the grant application could be done,” remarked Councilwoman Karen Walker. “The Foundation had to be behind us.”

Councilman Joe Straw emphasized that Debbie BennettStearsman of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana deserved special thanks for overseeing and writing the grant application. “She just did a tremendous job,” Straw said.

Next on the project completion timetable is the work of Vincennes architect Bud Erny of Erny & Associates to prepare the advertising for bids this month. The Town of New Harmony is scheduled to receive the bids in February and award contracts in March.

Phillip Werry, a 30-year member of the fire department in New Harmony, sums up everyone’s contagious enthusiasm for the project. “It’s great, great for the community.

It’s great for the community to pull together to do what they did.”

Vikings move to 8-0 win pair of wins

By Dave Pearce While most high school students were enjoying visiting with family and friends over the holidays, the North Posey Viking basketball team took out time on Dec. 28 to get to wins and claim the title of the Tecumseh Invitational Basketball tournament.

But while the team managed to win, neither game was pretty as the Vikings defeated a one-beaten Evansville Day School in the morning contest and then finished off the tournament with a win over the homestanding Braves.

While the Vikings were able to eventually pull away from Day School, it seemed that Braves’ Coach Kevin Oxley had his team very well prepared for the Vikings as they played tenacious defense and combined that with a deliberate offense en rout to the 41-34 final.

It took a 3-point basket just before half-time to pull the Vikings into a 15-15 tie at the half after Tecumseh seemed content to control the ball until they shot a lay-up or got fouled in the first half of the contest.

But in the second half, the Vikings came out in an aggressive man-to-man press and scored the first eight points of the second half before Tecumseh finally got on the second-half scoreboard with a 3-pointer with 1:50 remaining in the third period.

The Braves attempted to sit back in a zone until the Vikings finally pulled them out near the end of the period and took advantage of their speed and athletic ability.

First, Nick Scheller got loose for a three and then Dillon Davenport scored on a old-fashioned 3-point play. The Vikings held their largest lead of the game at 29-18. The Braves hit a free throw with 17 seconds remaining in the third period to pull to within 29-19 at the third-quarter stop.

Tecumseh pulled to within 29-23 about three minutes into the final period before the Braves were forced to foul and the Vikings made their free throws down the stretch. While scoring only one field goal, Davenport finished the contest hitting 8-of-9 free throws to help his team win.

“You never complain about a win but we can take a whole lot of things away from this tournament,” North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth said after the game. “We saw some things defensively that we had not seen this year and we saw some areas where we need to improve.”

While the Vikings have room for improvement, they moved out to 7-0 with the wins over Day School and Tecumseh.

Globetrotters announce time change for Evansville Due to an adjustment in the schedule at many Evansville schools, the Harlem Globetrotters have changed the start time of their performance at Roberts Stadium on Monday, Jan. 17, to 7 p.m.

The game was originally set for a 2 p.m. tip-off, as schools were scheduled to

be out of session for Martin Luther King Day. The Globetrotters have discovered that many schools plan to use that day to make up for a snow day, so the team changed the tip-off time to 7 p.m. to allow more fans the opportunity to enjoy the Globetrotters live and in person.

In addition, the Globetrotters are offering a special “Kids Ticket” for the show.

Tickets at select levels are available for kids age 17 and under for the special price of $15.

Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at www.harlemglobetrotters.com.
