WSLM Bringing White Castle Crave Mobile To Salem Jan. 22

0

WSLM RADIO is bringing White Castle to Salem.

The Crave Mobile, a 35-foot mobile food truck, will be selling the restaurant’s famous sliders to the Salem-area public from 4-6p on Thursday, January 22.  Customers will be able to walk up to the mobile kitchen, place their order and leave with a bag full of hot sandwiches, made to order.

A location is being confirmed, said Becky White, owner and general manager of WSLM 97.9 FM and 1220 AM. “But there will be easy access in town. Super excited!”

The Crave Mobile came to Scottsburg last fall and drew several thousand customers.

“It will be a great time to have something different for supper,” said White. “The nearest White Castle is about 30 minutes or more away from Salem. So happy to have them coming to town. Crave on! ”

More details will be coming.

Around 3:15 Central Time this afternoon, Trooper Kaitlyn Greene and Master Trooper Trey Lytton assisted Rockport Police Officer Brandon Dickson on a report of a suspicious driver stopped at the intersection of County Road 200 West and County Road 25 North, just west of Rockport.

Officers observed that the driver, Pruden, was slumped over the wheel of his maroon Toyota Highlander SUV.

Troopers Greene and Lytton observed Pruden in a very disoriented state and with plant material on his clothing. When troopers asked Pruden to step out of the vehicle, he refused and physically pulled away from the troopers. Troopers Greene and Lytton forced Pruden from the vehicle, at which point Pruden continued to resist officers and fought with them. Pruden was eventually taken into custody after being tased by a Spencer County Deputy.

Pruden was found to be in possession of synthetic marijuana. He was transported and lodged in the Spencer County Jail, without further incident, on charges of possession of synthetic marijuana and resisting law enforcement.

INDOT to help preserve Shieldstown Covered Bridge

0

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) met with Jackson County officials, contractor representatives and design engineers on Wednesday at the INDOT Seymour District facility to discuss a $1 million effort to preserve the Shieldstown covered bridge.

INDOT says the 355-foot-long Burr Arch wooden structure, built by J.J. Daniels in 1876, carried vehicular traffic across the east fork of White River until 1980.

10882257_1531893250412068_3111632159598392787_n-thumb-250xauto-3144

Today, it remains a tourist attraction at its scenic location adjacent to County Road 200 North, less than one mile north of U.S. Highway 50, in Hamilton Township and five miles west of Seymour.

Jackson County is the sponsor for this project and will pay 20 percent of the costs. The Federal Highway Administration will fund 80 percent.

INDOT says that Duncan Robertson Inc. is the prime contractor for this refurbishment project, which carries a total price tag of $1,036,287. The contractor is charged with maintaining historical integrity of the bridge while replacing board-for-board rotten and split timbers. Officials say that white oak will be used in the floor beams, bracing, arches, chords and posts. Yellow pine is to be used in supports and rafters. Siding and battens call for yellow poplar, while western red cedar is specified for portal siding.

Duncan Robertson will also replace the roof and repair piers and abutments. A visitors’ parking lot is going to be constructed near the north end of the covered bridge.

Operations are scheduled to begin after April 1. The contract completion date is July 31, 2016.

INDOT Deploys Salt Trucks Ahead of Winter Storm

0

The National Weather Service has declared an ice storm warning beginning at 4 p.m. for central Indiana counties following a northwesterly line along I-70 and I-69 between Terre Haute and Muncie, including all Indianapolis metro counties. A combination of sleet, snow and freezing rain is predicted for the remainder of central and southern Indiana with a few inches of snow in the state’s northern counties.

The Indiana Department of Transportation is deploying its yellow salt trucks to treat Indiana’s interstates, U.S. highways and state routes ahead of the storm system moving across the state. Trained INDOT employees are on call to staff plow trucks around the clock with alternating 12- to 16-hour shifts.

A few degrees can mean the difference between rain, freezing rain or snow, so ice can be difficult for forecasters to pinpoint. INDOT uses our statewide network of road and bridge pavement sensors and reports from law enforcement and the public to supplement local weather forecasts. As there are changes in forecasted and observed road conditions, our maintenance supervisors adjust their call-out of manpower, trucks and materials and shift resources as appropriate.

For social media updates, find the INDOT Facebook and Twitter pages for your regional district at: www.in.gov/indot/3074.htm

Ice is most difficult

Ice can be the most difficult road conditions for drivers to navigate and plow crews to treat because four-wheel-drive vehicles and large trucks are no match if all tires are on ice. A clear sheen of ice can also be hard for drivers to distinguish from dry pavement.

Residual salt deployed during recent storms is still visible on many state highways. Granular salt deployed before and during the storm helps to add traction while lowering the temperature at which the ice melts.

Driver tips

INDOT urges drivers to avoid all travel during and after winter storms as road conditions will be the worst during these times. If you must venture out, there are several steps that drivers can take to minimize the risk of losing control on icy roads:

  • Consult local weather forecasts to determine the latest timing and location of the storm.
  • Know before you go by checking the red-yellow-green traffic speeds on your map app or http://indot.carsprogram.org and the Indiana county travel advisory map at http://in.gov/dhs/traveladvisory. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security also offers a mobile version of the Travel Advisory map through the iTunes and Google Play stores.
  • Choose direct routes instead of longer routes on higher-speed highways.
  • Watch how salt trucks, emergency vehicles and other drivers are responding to the weather as visual cues for driving habits. Stay a safe distance and speed behind a plow at work as road conditions are always better behind one than in front.
  • Take your foot off the gas and slow down gradually, especially on high-speed highways. No one should be traveling at interstate speeds during these conditions.
  • Increase following distance and turn off cruise control.
  • Apply anti-lock brakes firmly when encountering ice. Pump brakes that are not anti-lock. Do not overcorrect with steering

Winter Mix Headed to WSLM COUNTRY

0

A winter mix of precipitation is headed into WSLM COUNTRY and expected Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.

According to the National Weather Service, an upper level weather disturbance will bring precipitation back to Central Indiana on Sunday afternoon through Monday.

images

Cold air in place across Central Indiana will result in the precipitation beginning as a mix of sleet and freezing rain across much of Central Indiana on Sunday afternoon and continuing into the evening hours.

Indiana Department of Transportation trucks were out last night spraying a brine mixture on Indiana roads. Salt Trucks are on standby for this afternoon, according to Harry McGinity, a spokeperson with INDOT.

This light icing may result in difficult driving conditions on Sunday afternoon and Sunday night.

As cold air arrives in the area overnight on Sunday night, all of the precipitation is expected to change over to snow. This will result in slippery conditions as light snow accumulations are possible on top of some light icing accumulations. This combination could make driving difficult on Monday morning.

If you plan to travel on Sunday night and Monday stay aware of the latest weather forecast and future possible advisories.

Motorists and those who must be outdoors are encouraged to take extra precautions Sunday afternoon through Monday prepare for slick roads.

Stay tuned to WSLM RADIO 97.9 FM and 1220 AM for weather updates every 20 minutes and any warnings on WSLM’s social media sites.

Two children from a Delaware Amber Alert issued tonight are safe and in the care of the Indiana State Police.

Saturday evening, the Delaware State Police issued an Amber Alert for 4 year old Colette Hamilton and her brother, 4 month old Cortez Hamilton, Jr., of Smyrna, Delaware.

Both children, along with their mother, 35 year old Keisha Hamilton, had not been seen since 10:00 P.M. Friday.
user33681-1420944410-media1
At about 7:00 P.M. this evening, Delaware authorities informed the Indiana State Police that they had received information that the children, along with the father, 32 year old Cortez A. Hamilton, Sr., were possibly traveling to St. Louis, Missouri, via the Interstate 64 corridor in a red 2005 Chevrolet Suburban.

Troopers, county deputies, and city officers responded to the area of Interstate 64 to attempt to locate and observe the Chevrolet.

At 7:32 P.M., Jasper District Troopers Andrew Watson and Ross Johnson, while sitting at the 38 mile marker on Interstate 64, observed a large red SUV pass them traveling west.

Both troopers caught up to the vehicle and found that it was a red Chevrolet Suburban with a Delaware license plate.

At the 37 mile marker, troopers activated their emergency lights to attempt to pull over the Chevrolet, which stopped at the 36 mile marker. Troopers ordered the driver, Hamilton, Sr., out of the vehicle and placed him into custody without incident. Both Colette and Cortex Jr. were found safe inside the vehicle.

Hamilton, Sr. was taken to the Evansville State Police Post, where State Police investigators are working in conjunction with the Delaware State Police.

No other information is available at this time as both agencies continue their investigation.
