INDOT To Businesses & Residents: Don’t Push Snow Into Roadway

0

Concern for driver safety in the aftermath of a snow storm is prompting Indiana Department of Transportation officials to ask businesses and residents not to push snow from driveways and parking lots onto state highways.

“It’s dangerous when vehicles swerve to avoid snow piled at the edge of a road,” says one INDOT unit foreman.

Others agree with her words: “Packed snow causes cars to skid.  Trucks swerve to avoid snow piles and veer across lane lines.

“Don’t push snow onto the roadway.”

According to Indiana case law, property owners must exercise “reasonable care” not to interfere with safe travel on public roadways.  IC 8-23-6-6(a)(3) prohibits putting a structure or obstruction in a highway.  Piling snow where it impairs traffic safety could be considered an “obstruction”, a Class C infraction.

Foundation Suspends $1 Million Challenge to Fight Hunger; Local Food Bank Suffers

0

The Feinstein Foundation has suspended its annual $1 Million Giveaway to Fight Hunger for 2015 until further notice in order to concentrate on its ever increasing number of
Feinstein Jr. Scholars, now over 150,000 strong, pledged to help better the lives of others.

As a result, the Washington County Food Bank will loose out on thousands of dollars in matching funds it generated thanks to the Challenge each spring.

Started in 1998, the annual Feinstein $1 million giveaway to anti hunger agencies to use as a spur for their fund raising, has generated over $2.5 billion to feed the hungry from
thousands of donors throughout the country and overseas. It is likely the largest amount of money ever raised by any grass roots effort to fight hunger.

The Washington County Food Bank is in dire need of help and support. Any non-perishable food items can be brought to the food bank on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9a – 3p.

Davisson and Arnold want roads named for Vietnam Vets

0

State Representative Steve Davisson (R-Salem) authored a resolution honoring Indiana’s Vietnam veterans.

The bill co-authored by State Rep. Lloyd Arnold (R-Leavenworth), urges the Indiana Department of Transportation to establish the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway, located at State Road 56 and U.S. 150 between Paoli and French Lick.

“When many of these honorable individuals came home from Vietnam, they often did not re ceive the welcome they deserved,” says Rep. Davisson. “I felt this was an opportunity to thank them not just once, but every day, for their bravery and dedication to our freedom.”

The Vietnam War was one of the longest wars in our nation’s history. Approximately 187,600 men and women from Indiana served in the war, and of those 1,625 resided in Orange County.

During the war, a total of 1,534 Hoosiers were killed in action. In their honor, HCR 23 would rename part of Indiana State Road 56 and U.S. 150 that converge as a single roadway as the Orange County Veterans Memorial Highway.

Secondly, the bridge spanning Lick Creek, at U.S. 150 and State Road 56, would be designated the Orange County Vietnam Veterans Bridge.

Rep. Davisson represents parts of Washington, Orange, Lawrence, Jackson, Clark and Harrison Counties.

Rep. Arnold (R-Leavenworth) represents portions of Spencer, Dubois, Perry, Crawford and Orange counties

UPDATE: Identities Released in Paoli Shooting

One man from North Carolina is dead and another from Bedford is in the hospital in Louisville after an arguement turned deadly this morning in Paoli.

Michael Dale Kilpatrick, 48, of Saint Pauls, North Carolina was pronounced dead earlier today after he was taken by ambulance to IU Health of Paoli, where he died of his self-inflicted wounds. All efforts by the Indiana State Police Department to locate and notify relatives have, so far, been unsuccessful.37f993f5fce70d49e0bdb8ae7f591f06

According to the Indiana State Police, Kieth Wagner, 30, Bedford, began arguing with Kilpatrick in the north driveway of Classic Muscle Cars and Parts, located along State Road 37 at County Farm Road.

The argument escalated into a fight, and Kilpatrick and Wagner began wrestling in the driveway.

A short time later, Wagner ran from the fight and locked himself inside a building.

Kilpatrick followed Wagner to the building and began beating on the window. Afraid that Kilpatrick was going to break out the business glass, Wagner unlocked the door and let Kilpatrick and a witness inside.

Once inside, Kilpatrick shot Wagner in the abdomen and neck at point blank range. Kilpatrick turned his weapon on the witness and fired additional shots but missed.

As Kilpatrick ran from the building behind the business, Orange County Deputies and Indiana State Troopers arrived on scene, attempting to locate Kilpatrick.

After reaching a tree line behind the business, Kilpatrick shot himself.

Kilpatrick was taken by ambulance to IU Health of Paoli and Wagner was airlifted to the University of Louisville hospital in Louisville, KY and is currently being treated for his injuries.
