S.R. 56 Bridge Work West of Salem

0
Indiana Department of Transportation officials anticipate bridge work will begin at the end of April or early in May on State Road 56 at its steel beam structure spanning Highland Creek and the CSX railroad tracks west of Salem.
One half of the structure will be rehabilitated at a time—allowing traffic controlled by signals at either end of the bridge to continue crossing the structure, according to Harry McGinity, INDOT spokesman.West 56 Bridge
 
E & B Paving is the state’s prime contractor for this $774,725 Seymour District bridge project located just east of S.R. 60 in Washington County. 
The project includes concrete patching, new pavement approaches and guardrail, bridge joint replacement, mud wall construction and installation of a 3/8-inch polymeric bridge deck overlay.  The overlay itself will be done by a specialty contractor.
 
Phase I calls for S.R. 56 traffic to be shifted to a single lane on the north half of the bridge.  It will cross one-direction-at-a-time.  After approximately 45 days, the Phase II traffic pattern will shift motorists to two lanes on the south half of the bridge where a single lane will be open in each direction.
 
S.R. 56’s traffic count at this location is 10,430 vehicles per day.

State Police warn about Fraudulent Caller Alleging to be IRS Agent Threatening Legal Action

0

The IRS calling scam is making the rounds through Indiana again.  As with past warnings on alleged government representatives calling to threaten immediate jailing for not cooperating with the person calling, please remember to NEVER give personal information to the caller.

Scam-alert

Such personal information to never give over the phone to an unverified caller would include:

·         Bank Account Numbers

·         Social Security Number

·         Birth Date

·         Credit Card Numbers

The most recent scam involves this phone number: 347-389-0029

Citizens should keep in mind that the phone numbers will change frequently.  Whenever you receive a call claiming legal action is pending, or any of the hundreds of various scams that have the common thread of trying to get people to part with large sums of money, you can be certain the call is fraudulent.

A quick check citizens can make to confirm if a phone number is associated with a scam it to type the phone number into your favorite search engine.  You’ll typically see the number has been reported as being associated to scam activity.

Regrettably, these scams nearly always trace back to a foreign country and it is virtually impossible to successfully prosecute the persons responsible for these criminal acts.  Unfortunately these scams will continue as long as a percentage of the population responds by sending money to the scammers.

When an unsolicited call comes to your home, business of cell phone and has the common factors of being threatening and demanding money, be assured that 99.9% of the time it is a scam.  Just hang-up.  They won’t call back.  They will just move on to the next number looking for someone to victimize.

Jacoby, 52, Mayoral Candidate Found Dead Thursday

0

Democrat Candidate for City of Salem Mayor Hank Jacoby, 52,  was found dead in his home early Thursday morning.

He unexpectedly passed away in his sleep. A cause of death has not yet been reported. 3f4843b

Originally a native of New England, Jacoby claimed Salem and his own for the past nine years. He began working at Kimball International in June 2006 as a Materials Manager and had moved up to become the Global Sourcing Commodity Manager in June 2010.

Prior to that, Jacoby had worked as a supply chain coordinator at Mill’s Pride in Waverly, Ohio for 11 years.

In October 2008, Jacoby joined the Washington County Chamber of Commerce where he served as president and director for more than five years. He worked hard and helped to grow the organization back to full health.

 

Recently, Jacoby had entered the political arena and had been campaigning for the Democrat  party nomination to run in the fall election as Mayor of Salem.

Washington County Democrat Chair Doug Leatherbury said he was excited about Jacoby running in the primary. “He’s certainly reaching people that the party hasn’t reached. I think he had a lot of great ideas and a lot of energy.”

Leatherbury pointed out Jacoby’s campaign was a bit non-traditional. “He decided not to use yard signs and instead was putting people to work in the community holding his signs in high-traffic areas. He was doing something different which got people’s attention.”

Jabody served on the board of directors of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce and the Washington County Economic Growth Partnership as well as being a member of Rotary. He also served as a SOAR! tutor and was on the Work One: Workforce Investment board.

Arrangements are pending.

Manhunt Ends in Three Arrested On Burglary Charges

0

After one burglary suspect was at large for most of the day Thursday, he is now under arrest, along with two others, with more arrests to follow after a rash of burglaries around Washington County, some dating back to Winter 2014.

Washington County Sheriff’s Deputies attempted to serve a warrant for theft on James Pumphrey, 37, Henryville on Thursday afternoon at Partin’s Auto Salvage, 3859 N Cox Ferry Rd, Salem.SO-BURGLARY-Arrest

According to Sheriff Roger Newlon, the person had been going between counties. A tip told them he was at Partin’s.

“He was across the road and watched the police pull in and he ran into the field,” said Newlon. “We’ve been searching for him ever since.”

After investigating several thefts and burglaries in Washington County, Deputy Brad Naugle, Detective Brent Miller and other officers developed suspects in the case.

Naugle had received information about Pumphrey’s location on Wednesday, April 15 and a warrant was issued.

As officers arrived, Pumphrey fled the scene on foot into a field and then into a wooded area.

While at the area on Cox Ferry Road, another person of interest was located – Randy L. Pumphrey, 32, the brother of the suspect, who was later arrested after admitting his involvement in at least one of the burglaries.

Priscilla Crane, 31, Louisville, was also arrested for warrants in Kentucky.

James Pumphrey led police around the area all afternoon and evening and was last reported in the Highland Church area. At some point, he received a ride to Henryville where at approximately 11p, he was located at his mother’s residence in Henryville. He was taken into custody and transported to the Clark County Detention Center.

WSLM contacted Newlon last evening after several reports from concerned citizens. Newlon said wanted to put the public at ease. “This is not a person who is believed to be dangerous,” he said.

James is charged with three counts of burglary, Level 4 Felony; six counts of theft, Level 6 Felony and two counts of burglary, Level 5 Felony, three counts of aiding, inducing or causing an offence (burglary), Level 4 Felony; three counts of aiding, inducing or causing an offence (burglary) Level 5 Felony.

Randy Pumphrey has been charged with one count of aiding in burglary, a level 4 Felony.

Naugle said the investigation is continuing and more arrests could be possible.

Walmart Bass Fishing League Starts Saturday, April 25

0

The 2015 Walmart Bass Fishing League season will continue with six tournaments on Saturday, April 25.

The Cowboy division will take on the Red River; the Hoosier division opens at Lake Monroe; the Mississippi division heads to Pickwick Lak;, the Mountain division competes on Dale Hollow Lake; the Savannah River division will tackle Lake Hartwell and the Shenandoah division stops at Kerr Lake.

walmart-bass-fishing-league

Up to 400 boaters and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000 respectively in the one-day events.

Cowboy Division

Red River
Grand Ecore Recreation Area
1071 Tauzin Island Road
Natchitoches, La.

NOTES: The bass fishing on the Red River is expected to be good. Local reports indicate the water temperatures are in the mid-sixties, which means bass will be active and moving to their spawning locations. Anglers will mostly be fishing the main river around cover like wood and grass mats. Popular baits this time of year include spinnerbaits, creature baits and jig-n-craw riggings. A five-bass limit weighing 15 pounds is expected to win this tournament.

Hoosier Division

Lake Monroe
Cutright Ramp
4850 S. State Road 4463
Bloomington, Ind.

NOTES: Lake Monroe is expected to produce some quality stringers this tournament. Anglers will find fish near deep points and breaks as bass move into pockets. Previous winners have found sizable bass in bushes located in the backs of these pockets. Local reports also indicate largemouths are being caught along emerging weed lines. Jigs, buzzbaits and creature baits will all be utilized by anglers. Five bass totaling 14 pounds are expected to take top honors.

Mississippi Division

Pickwick Lake
JP Coleman State Park
613 County Road 321
Iuka, Miss.

NOTES: Pickwick Lake always fishes well this time of year. Local reports indicate bass are active along bluffs, in the backs of main-lake pockets and are being caught on main-lake flats using Carolina rigs. Spots above the Pickwick Dam are producing a lot of sizable largemouth as well. Spinnerbaits in shallow water are also expected to be a strong pattern. A five-bass limit totaling 14 pounds will most likely take this tournament.

Mountain Division

Dale Hollow Lake
Star Point Resort
4490 Star Point Road
Byrdstown, Tenn.

NOTES: At Dale Hollow Lake, both prespawn and spawning fish will be found all over the lake this time of the season. Previous winners have found their winning bass coming from pockets off of the Wolf River. Typically filled with laydowns, logs and other cover, jigs and umbrella rigs should prove to be dominant for anglers choosing the Wolf River pattern. Other anglers will be seen fishing main-lake points with jigs and crankbaits. A 21-pound, five-bass limit is expected to tip scales in the winner’s favor in this tournament.

Savannah River Division

Lake Hartwell
Tugaloo State Park
1763 Tugaloo State Park Road
Lavonia, Ga.

ah Division

Kerr Lake
New Nutbush Park
115 Jack Wade Farm Road
Henderson, N.C.

NOTES: Bass are expected to bite well on Kerr Lake this tournament. A popular pattern for tournament anglers will be to target the shad spawn. Anglers will be seen throwing Zoom Lizards and other creature baits along banks. Bass should also be found spawning in this event. In these conditions, medium or deep-diving crankbaits will be popular. A five-bass limit nearing 14 pounds will most likely take home the top prize.

NOTES: Lake Hartwell is expected to fish well this tournament. This time of year many of this fish will be in the postspawn phase which means anglers will find them starting to suspend in deeper water. In order to catch these fish, anglers will reach for deep-diving crankbaits as well as underspins. Anglers may also choose to fish main-lake points where blueback herring are attracting bass. A 19-pound stringer with five bass will most likely win this tournament.

ShenandoThe BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 50 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the Walmart BFL All-American.
