Sen. Houchin Introduces Reading Assessment Bill

0

State Sen. Erin Houchin’s (R-Salem) first bill as a state senator will work to move Indiana’s I-READ exam from third grade to second grade.

Houchin Photo

Senate Bill 169 requires students who do not pass the I-READ exam while in second grade to retake the test during the third grade, which allows for more opportunities to strengthen reading abilities.

“It’s important to catch reading deficiencies early so that issues may be promptly identified, providing more time for remediation,” said Houchin.

This proposal is also driven by educators who have expressed concerns with the amount of time spent on testing, particularly in the month of March.

Third-grade classrooms in Indiana spend most of the month of March testing, according to teachers. Currently, second-grade students don’t have any state-mandated tests.

SB 169 has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development.

ISP Tips on Dealing With Freezing Temps

0

With the frigid cold temperatures and high winds we’re experiencing, a disabled or stranded vehicle could make for a life or death situation for the driver and passengers. Following the few tips listed below could save your life:

1388963052

  • Let someone know your route of travel.
  • Always keep your gas tank full when driving in cold weather.
  • Carry a winter survival kit in your car which is to include: blankets, extra warm clothes, flashlight, extra batteries, brightly colored cloth, sand or a bag of cat litter, shovel, candles and matches, non perishable high calorie foods, (nuts, raisins, and protein or energy bars), newspapers (for insulation), a first aid kit and jumper cables.
  • Do not leave your car if stranded, it is your best protection. Do not panic, an idling car only uses an average of one gallon of gas per hour. • Roll down a window a very small amount for fresh air.
  • Make sure the car’s exhaust pipe is not blocked to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • At night, leave your dome light on.
  • Always have your cell phone and a charger so you can call and let us know where you’re located.

 

Following these simple tips could save you or a family member’s life. Motorists are also reminded that with the frigid temperatures, gusting winds and blowing snow also comes the possibility of intersections, bridge decks and overpasses icing over. Please keep this in mind and drive with caution.

Overnight Pursuit Through Two Counties Lands Grandview Man in Jail

0

A six mile pursuit late last night ended with a Rockport man behind bars.

Matthew R. Jennings, 26, of 410 East 8th Street, Grandview, IN, was arrested and charged with Resisting Law Enforcement, Level 6 Felony and Reckless Driving, Class B Misdemeanor.

At about 10:05 last night, Trooper Ross Johnson was stationary along State Road 161, near Old State Road 64 (north of Holland), when he observed a green 1996 GMC Jimmy traveling northbound at what appeared to be a high rate of speed.

user33681-1420640672-media1 (640x343)

 

Trooper Johnson activated his radar, which indicated the GMC was traveling 72 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone.

Trooper Johnson pulled behind the GMC and, as the GMC turned west onto Old State Road 64, he activated his emergency lights to attempt to initiate a traffic stop. Rather than stop, the GMC accelerated in an attempt to flee.

During the pursuit, the GMC made an unsafe pass on a double yellow line, drove down the middle of the roadway, and attempted to evade Trooper Johnson at speeds nearing 100 miles per hour.

After reaching Stendal in Pike County, the GMC left the roadway, struck a concrete bridge, and again continued to flee. A short time later, the GMC left the roadway a second time, stopping in a ditch.

Jennings jumped out of the vehicle and began running from the scene. Trooper Johnson gave chase, catching Jennings and placing him into custody.

Jennings was lodged without further incident in the Pike County Jail on charges of Resisting Law Enforcement and Reckless Driving.

Southern Hills Minister Steve Corp said there would be a variety of soups, hot dogs and other snacks.

It will take place at the church located at 1645 State Road 135, Salem at 6p.

Corp said on WSLM’s FYI program Tuesday that he hopes the program can be taken on by other churches and organizations in the community over the next year. “This isn’t just something that Southern Hills can do. It’s something we can all be involved in. If you want to volunteer, let us know. If you want to help with food, that’s great. There are people out in the community who need help and we need to step up and find out how the churches can do that. We have over 100 churches in Washington County — we can certainly see everyone step up and help out.”

For more information, contact Corp at 883-1637 or Cynthia Porter at 620.2736.

A Peek into the Teen Brain

0

Growing brains experience age-related changes in learning, memory and functions, which can make it challenging to understand why teens behave the way they do.

Teens’ brains are mysterious, fascinating and, at times, unpredictable. Understanding the basics of how teen brains are wired broadens insights into how to relate to and support young adults. It also allows adults to have appropriate expectations for teens based on their ages and intellectual abilities.

With these facts in mind, the Indiana Youth Institute (IYI) is hosting a forum on the stages of adolescent brain development to give educators, counselors, youth workers and parents a better understanding of how teens think.

The forum will feature speaker Janie Chappell, manager of community services at Deaconess Cross Pointe. Chappell will discuss the development of the teen brain, along with how the onset of puberty affects behavior, intelligence and maturity. She also will talk about how to set realistic expectations for teens as they experience changes to their brains.

The forum will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 15 at Super Burger, 600 W. Main Street in Paoli, 47454.

As part of IYI’s Youth Worker Café program, the forum and lunch are free, but reservations are required. Please RSVP by Jan. 13 at this link or by contacting IYI Statewide Outreach Manager Debbie Jones at djones@iyi.org.

Youth Worker Cafés are designed to bring together local youth workers to build relationships and inspire collaborations that will benefit children. This Youth Worker Café is sponsored by Indiana University Health and supported by collaborative efforts of IYI.

At roughly 5:45 PM Monday evening, the Salem Fire Department responded to a two alarm house fire at the corner of North Main Street and Emma Street in Salem.

It was at the home of Washington County Assessor Jason Cockerill and his wife, Emily, and their three young daughters.

A week ago on New Year’s Eve, fire damaged the home of Lonnie Winslow, which is just across the street from Cockerill.

“A week ago I was standing out here holding my neighbor’s hand,” he said.

Emily Cockerill said she was in the kitchen when she said she heard a noise coming from upstairs.

“It sounded like someone was breaking in upstairs,” she said. “Like someone had a hammer. I got kind of scared. I put the girls in the TV room and quietly went halfway up the stairs. I could see the door to the third floor and it was bright orange. I thought….what do I have on the third floor that’s orange? Then I heard a loud POP — like you would hear in a wood stove. Then I knew.”

She said they had been holding something in their home for the Winslows and were able to get that out without it being damaged.

Neighbors Steve and Angela Kelly opened up the former North Side Home Improvements so Jason and Emily could store some of their things inside from the first floor of their home.

The two firetrucks were able to control the fire in about 25-30 minutes.

A cause of the fire is still under investigation.
