A 16-year-old Paoli girl was killed Monday night after the ATV she was driving flipped and pinned her underneath.
Bailey Carty was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to an Indiana Conservation report, the accident happened in the 2700 block of East County Road 100 North.
Carty was driving the ATV on her grandmother’s property in a remote wooded section of a neighboring property and had been gone for about an hour when her grandmother went looking for her.
Shortly before 5 p.m., her grandmother found Carty unconscious, underneath the overturned ATV. She began CPR until medical help arrived, but Carty could not be revived.
An autopsy is scheduled for today in Bedford.
The incident remains under investigation by Indiana Conservation Officers.
Carty was not wearing a helmet or any safety equipment.
Assisting at the scene were officers from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, First Responders with Paoli Fire Department, an IU Health Ambulance crew and the Orange County Coroner’s Office.
Indiana Conservation Officers strongly encourage riders to always wear a helmet and necessary safety equipment when operating an ATV.
Shoe Sensation, Inc., a regional chain of family shoe stores, announced plans today to expand its corporate headquarters and distribution center here, creating up to 32 new jobs by 2017.
The homegrown-Hoosier company will invest $800,000 to lease, renovate and equip a 92,000 square-foot facility at the America Place Business Park in Jeffersonville, gaining 40,000 additional square feet for inbound and outbound product delivery. Beginning operations earlier this month, the company’s new distribution center and corporate headquarters will allow it to supply its current 100 stores, in addition to meeting its goal of supporting more than 150 stores in just over two years.
“Shoe Sensation’s decision to expand its headquarters in Indiana reaffirms the confidence that flourishing companies have in our pro-business environment,” said Eric Doden, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. “This company’s plans are in step with the Hoosier State’s growing economy, with companies from down the street to around the world continually choosing to grow their headquarters here in Indiana, a state that works.”
Shoe Sensation currently employs 850 associates at its stores across 16 states, including more than 90 Hoosiers and 60 full-time associates at the company’s Jeffersonville headquarters. It has already begun hiring buyers, allocators, human resource professionals, accountants, advertising specialists, warehouse associates and real estate professionals.

“We are very excited about the expansion of our distribution facility, which will enable us to add 32 new jobs to our community,” said Michael Zawoysky, chief executive officer of Shoe Sensation. “In addition to the new jobs in southern Indiana, this expansion gives us the facility space needed to grow our retail portfolio in Indiana and surrounding states. The support we have received from the state of Indiana and the city of Jeffersonville has been an invaluable part of our continued growth.”
Founded in 1984, Shoe Sensation sells name-brand footwear for women, men and children, primarily serving small communities in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. With its focus on supporting local communities, Shoe Sensation has already opened 14 new stores this year. The company has 18 stores in Indiana, with Kendallville, Washington and Vincennes stores opening just this year. Earlier this month, Shoe Sensation opened its 100th store in Corydon, Indiana.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Shoe Sensation, Inc. up to $350,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Jeffersonville approved additional tax abatement at the request of One Southern Indiana.
“It’s very rewarding when the expansion of a dynamic corporation like Shoe Sensation reinforces the assertion that Jeffersonville, Indiana is a great place to work, live and succeed,” said Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore. “The expansion of their headquarters is a testament not only to the company’s leadership, but also to southern Indiana’s outstanding workforce, America Place’s strategic location and Jeffersonville as a whole.”
Shoe Sensation’s growth comes on the heels of an announcement earlier this month that Tenneco, a global vehicle parts supplier, plans to locate a new 150,000 square-foot Clean Air facility in Jeffersonville, producing emission control products for customers including Ford and General Motors. With its growth, Tenneco plans to create more than 250 new jobs in the coming years.

Summit Seed Coatings Indiana LLC, a custom traditional and organic seed coating company, announced plans today to locate its first Midwest facility in Salem, creating up to 20 new jobs by 2017.
The Caldwell, Idaho-based company will invest $2.39 million to lease, renovate and equip a 60,000 square-foot facility at 401 South High St. in Salem.
The facility now owned by Aaron Lee, will be operational by January, and will aid in distribution to the company’s Midwest customers, as well as help meet the company’s strong demand, which has increased by 30 percent annually over the past four years.
“We included three Midwestern states in our search,” said Stuart Barclay, manager at Summit Seed Coatings. “While there were similar benefits offered by all of the states, we were attracted by the cultural atmosphere of Salem, which is similar to Caldwell.
Moreover, the help and encouragement by the state of Indiana, the city of Salem and the people we met was a big influence in our selection.”
“The seeds we have planted for a strong business climate are blossoming in Indiana,” said Eric Doden, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. “Companies around the nation like Summit Seed Coatings are selecting the Hoosier State for their agricultural business. In Indiana, they find the right conditions for growth, including a low-cost environment and convenient location close to their customers.”
Summit Seed Coatings, which currently employs 25 full-time associates at its Idaho facility, plans to begin hiring key personnel in Indiana within the next two months. Interested applicants may apply at the company’s Salem facility.
“We included three Midwestern states in our search,” said Stuart Barclay, manager at Summit Seed Coatings. “While there were similar benefits offered by all of the states, we were attracted by the cultural atmosphere of Salem, which is similar to Caldwell. Moreover, the help and encouragement by the state of Indiana, the city of Salem and the people we met was a big influence in our selection.”
Founded in 2002, Summit Seed Coatings produces seed coatings for major seed distributors, which sell their seeds to agriculture dealers and government dealers, as well as at Lowe’s, The Home Depot, Walmart and other garden store chains. The company’s coatings convert more seeds to plants and produce more vigorous seedlings than uncoated seeds. Summit Seed Coatings currently coats small seeded legumes, alfalfa, clover, cover crops, radishes, forage grasses and retail grasses for homeowners.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Summit Seed Coatings Indiana LLC up to $100,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $17,500 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Indiana residents are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Salem will consider additional incentives.
“We recognize Summit Seed Coatings as a growing, value-added agribusiness that will fit very well into our area,” said Salem Mayor David Bower. “It provides evidence that the cooperative efforts of the IEDC with Salem provides benefits to all and has a positive impact.”
“We are very pleased that after a very competitive multi-state search Summit Seed Coatings Indiana picked Salem as the best location,” said Bower. “Their decision reinforces our belief that with a coordinated team effort Salem can be very competitive in attracting new companies and investment. After just 2 years of local effort Summit is the latest success story that now totals over $45 million in new investment completed or underway in Salem.
“We expect even more in the near future. It has been the result of strong efforts on the part of many individuals. On this project we want to recognize the efforts of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Plan Commission Chairman Terry McNeely, Community Development Director Greg Fitzloff as well as the Salem City Council.”
Indiana ranks among the top 10 states in the nation for agricultural sales. Companies like Summit Seed Coatings contribute to the state’s $16 billion food and agricultural sector and help support 245,000 Hoosier jobs across the state.
The North Lawrence Water Authority has issued a boil order for resident in Western Hill Addition Addition and all customers on Ind. 158 East of the addition.
The boil order is in effect until Wednesday, October 1.
Under a boil-water advisory (BWA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that water be brought to a rolling boil for one minute before it is consumed in order to kill protozoa, bacteria and viruses. At altitudes above 2,000 meters, boiling should be extended to 3 minutes,as the lower temperature of the boiling point at high altitudes requires more time to kill such organisms.
