The contest was sponsored by WSLM, a radio affiliate of the Reds Radio Network.

“I wanted to allow a group of our youth to spend some time with their professional peers,” said Becky White, WSLM owner and general manager. “While at the same time allowing them to learn to raise awareness for others who are less fortunate. Raising money and awareness of the food bank is always in demand.”

White contacted the athletic directors and coaches of Eastern, Salem and West Washington Baseball and Softball teams.

After the count was in, EHS Baseball Coach Jeff Pennington reported in that his group had collected 267 cans of food. Jennifer Morris and the Salem Lady Lions collected 244 cans. The Eastern softball team collected 77 items and the Salem Lions baseball team brought in a check for $50.

White Castle brought its Crave Mobile for an inaugural appearance in Salem and sold more than 2000 sliders to fans; some waiting in line more than an hour.

The Crave Mobile travels around the US during the year cooking White Castle foods for fans. In the past year, the Mobile kitchen has stopped in Scottsburg, Orleans and other Southern Indiana cities and towns.

“The great thing about White Castle marketing is that they create a desire for their product,” said Becky White, WSLM owner who arranged for the slider stop. “In our area, you have one location in Clarksville, one in New Albany, one in Corydon and one in Seymour…that’s it. And a few over in Louisville. They strategically place their restaurants so people will keep their “Crave On” spirit going on all the time.”

The May Primary will select one GOP candidate to run against a Democrat challenger this fall.

Hank Jacoby, Kimball employee and former Washington County Chamber of Commerce President, is the only one who has filed to run on the Democrat ticket.

In announcing, Haendiges stated,” I’m running for Mayor to bring tried and true leadership to the City of Salem. As a recent city council president, local business owner and leader for over 25 years, I have the experience to lead our great city and make it all it can be.”

Over the years, Haendiges said he has been entrusted to handle the finances of the city and the life savings of thousands of clients. “I’m proud to have done so honestly and responsibly,” said Haendiges.

Haendiges believes Salem needs a Mayor who has been tested and proven successful in business and in public service.

“I have an established record of accomplishment in both areas,” said Haendiges at a gathering in City Hall on Thursday morning. “I will bring these skills to the City. Our community must be in a position to compete for jobs and employment opportunities. We must create an environment that will both encourage current employers to remain here, while positioning our city in a way that is most attractive to new employers.”

Haendiges resides in Salem with his wife, Pam, a Bradie M. Shrum teacher, and two sons, Trey and Xavier.

A Huntingburg man is behind bars today for his role in a burglary last week.

Jacob R. Gunselman, 24, 813 Shelby Street, Apartment 8, Huntingburg, IN. He is charged with Burglary, Level 4 Felony, Residential Entry, Level 6 Felony and Theft, Class A Misdemeanor.

On January 17, Master Trooper Trey Lytton and Trooper Kaitlyn Greene began an investigation into a burglary that occurred sometime on January 16 at 7397 West County Road 1200 South in Holland. Troopers learned that the burglar had climbed the television antenna tower, removed a window screen, and entered the home. After crime scene technicians had processed the residence, it was determined that numerous jewelry items had been taken.

On January 22, Troopers were able to recover two of the jewelry items from local jewelers and, in turn, developed a suspect, leading them to speak with Jacob R. Gunselman, 24, Huntingburg. Gunselman was arrested later on Thursday, without incident, and lodged in the Dubois County Security Center.

Overturned Cattle Trailer Closes Interstate #64

January 22, 2015

This morning around 5:00 am, a west bound 2009 Peterbuilt semi tractor pulling a loaded trailer of 88 head of cattle crashed closing Interstate #64.

The preliminary crash investigation reveals the driver of the semi tractor and trailer, John Forester, 36, of Jonesboro, TN, was traveling west bound on Interstate #64.

At the 101 Mile Marker he allegedly fell asleep driving off of the roadway into the median. This resulted in the semi tractor and trailer overturning releasing some of the cattle onto the roadway.

Shortly after this crash another west bound semi tractor and trailer crashed into one of the released cows that was in the roadway. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department worked that crash.

The driver of the overturned semi was transported along with his co-driver, Dusty Arnold, 36, of Kingsport, TN, to the University of Louisville Hospital in Louisville, KY with non life threatening injuries.

Interstate #64 is still closed both directions and will remain closed until the cattle can be removed from the roadway.

Local farmers are assisting the cleanup effort by helping transport the cattle from the roadway to another location where they can be reloaded and sent on to their destination. The condition of the cattle ranged from deceased to injured to no injuries.

West bound traffic is being routed off Interstate #64 at the Corydon Exit # 105 and east bound traffic at the Marengo/Leavenworth Exit #92.

The load of cattle was enroute from Abington, VA to Allen, KS.

Sen. Paul, Rep. Young introduce bill to restore Congressional accountability for lawmaking

January 21, 2015

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Rep. Todd Young (R-IN9) reintroduced their Regulations from the Executive in Needs of Scrutiny (REINS) Act on Wednesday as S.226 and H.R. 427, respectively. The REINS Act would require any executive branch rule or regulation with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more—designated by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as a “major rule”—to come before Congress for an up-or-down vote before being enacted.

“Today, we are introducing legislation to increase transparency in the Federal regulatory process,” said Paul. “If the Obama Administration wants to impose regulations that effectively operate as laws on U.S. citizens, it is important that those citizens are made aware of how the laws come to be. Cutting red tape and opening the regulatory process to scrutiny is an important first step in holding government accountable.”

“The REINS Act is key to reforming our nation’s regulatory system so that the American people can hold Congress accountable for the law of the land,” said Young. “While the President would prefer to act unilaterally—and he has made that abundantly clear in recent months—that’s not the way our system operates. Unfortunately, when the executive branch issues regulations with a huge economic impact or negative consequences, it’s hard for the American people to hold accountable a nameless, faceless federal bureaucracy. Requiring an up-or-down vote by Congress on major regulations restores the notion that the legislative branch is in charge of writing laws, brings transparency to our regulatory system, and ensures our constituents know who is responsible when burdensome regulations take effect.”

In 2014, the executive branch finalized 3,541 new rules and regulations—approximately 16 times greater than the 223 new laws passed by Congress and signed by President. Of those rules and regulations, 200 were deemed to be “major”. Meanwhile, the annual economic impact and regulatory compliance cost is now estimated to stand at over $1.8 trillion, which translates to more than $14,000 per family.

The REINS Act has passed the House in each of the previous two Congresses on a bipartisan basis, but never received a hearing in the Senate under Democratic leadership. More information, including full bill text, FAQ’s, and a list of co-sponsors, can be found at http://toddyoung.house.gov/reins.

Indiana’s 9^th District includes all or parts of Brown, Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Johnson Lawrence, Monroe, Morgan, Orange, Scott, and Washington Counties in south central Indiana.
