Around 9:36 P.M., Trooper Charlie Johnson observed an eastbound Jeep SUV on State Road 66 in Cannelton. The vehicle matched the description of a dispatch broadcasted by the Tell City Police Department as a possible reckless driver. After observing the Jeep make multiple traffic violations, Trooper Johnson pulled over the vehicle. While speaking with the driver, Cody T. Winkler, 21, Branchville, Trooper Johnson detected the odor of alcoholic beverages and signs of impairment.

Trooper Johnson later learned that Winkler had a blood alcohol content of .192%, more than twice the legal limit. Winkler had previously been convicted for Operating While Intoxicated, which enhances this charge to a felony. Winkler was lodged without incident in the Perry County Jail.

The Indiana State Police remains committed to removing impaired and dangerous drivers from Indiana’s roadways. As in this case, if you observe what appears to be a reckless or dangerous driver, call 911 and inform the dispatch operator of your location, the vehicle description, direction of travel, and in what manner the driver is operating recklessly.

Last Second Shot Ends Eastern’s Regional Dreams

0

The Eastern Musketeers made history this week – The sectional title they won last Saturday night in Crawford County was only the fourth for the program, and none of the previous three (1972, 1991 and 2001) followed with a regional championship.

However, Eastern’s regional title hopes came to a stunning finale Saturday at Memorial Gymnasium when a half-court buzzer beater lifted the South Ripley Raiders over the Musketeers by one point to win the game.

Cory Walker nailed a game-winning 3-pointer at the final buzzer to lift South Ripley over the Musketeers in the Class 2A Southridge Regional semifinal, 57-56.

 

Eastern (15-11) led 52-46 with 2:22 left in regulation and continued to lead up until the end of the game.

 

Having just hit one of two free throws, Eastern led the game with just seconds left – 56-54. South Ripley got the ball and put up a hail-mary, going in and shocking the Musketeer faithful.

 

Four Musketeers scored in double figures. Alex Doebler and Grant Newcomb shared team-high scoring honors with 14 points apiece.

 

Jessie Murphy chipped in 12 and Austin Roberts scored 10.

 

Ty Tucker led the Raiders (17-8) with 26 points. South Ripley lost the Saturday night’s regional final to Linton-Stockton, 61-46.

 

Eastern (15-11): Alex Doebler 14, Grant Newcomb 14, Jessie Murphy 12, Austin Roberts 10, Khalil McDaniel 6.

 

South Ripley (17-8): Ty Tucker 26, Brady Meyer 9, Elijah Roepke 8, Kaleb Riley 5, Cory Walker 5, Derek Turner 3, Chase Samples 1.

3-point field goals: Eastern 5 (Doebler 2, Newcomb 2, Murphy); South Ripley 5 (Roepke 2, Tucker, Turner, Walker).

“My kids were involved in the 4-H for ten-plus years,” said Kevin Baird. “They benefited greatly from the 4-H so Linda and I are happy to help.”

The Bairds were surprised to find out that there were no funds designated towards the 4-H already in place at the Community Foundation.

“Right now the Foundation is matching fifty percent of what you put in,” Linda Baird said. “By adding this donation and other donations from the 4-H families, we as a community will continue to support the 4-H for years to come.”

To learn more about donating to the Washington County Community Foundation on behalf of the 4-H, you can contact Lindsey Wade-Swift at the 4-H Extension Office by calling 812-883-4601.

For five years, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has collaborated with farmers to donate over $16.5 million to over 7,300 community organizations across rural America. This year winning farmers will direct another $3.3 million to nonprofits to help fight rural hunger, purchase life saving fire and EMS equipment, support ag youth leadership programs, buy much needed classroom resources, and so much more.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities is part of the America’s Farmers initiative. Since 2010, the America’s Farmers campaign and programs have advocated on behalf of farmers and their efforts to meet society’s needs through agriculture. Today, consumers are more interested than ever in agriculture and how food is grown. Consider joining the conversation and helping to raise awareness about agriculture. Learn more at FoodDialogues.com.

A sister program in the America’s Farmers effort, Grow Rural Education, is currently in its farmer nomination phase. Farmers interested in supporting math and science education in their communities should visitwww.GrowRuralEducation.com from now through April 1 to learn how.
