Shortly after 2:00 pm on today’s date, a red 2001 Ford Windstar van
was northbound on Interstate 65 near the 28.5 Mile Marker in Scott County, when
for an unknown reason the van crossed into the median. After crossing into the
median the vehicle then crossed the southbound lanes ending up on the west side
of the roadway in a wooded area.

When troopers and other emergency personnel arrived at the scene the driver,
Mary Lou Gustus, 71, from Paris, TN was deceased. The preliminary death
investigation by the Scott County Coroner, Jerry Buchanan, revealed the driver
likely suffered a medical condition causing the crash. It is unknown if the
driver’s death was a result of the impact of the crash, the likely medical condition,
or a combination of both.

A bi-partisan group of lawmakers says changing the status quo at Hoosier Park in Anderson and Indiana Grand in Shelbyville will be a big economic boost for Indiana.

The group says Senate Bill 528 would do away with computerized games and replace them with live people who would run the games.

Games include blackjack, roulette, craps and poker.  State Senator Tim Lanane (D-Anderson) says the move would generate $20 million in new state tax revenue and create 600 new, good paying jobs at the racinos.

State Rep. Sean Eberhart (R-Shelbyville) says the move would not cost the state anything. Lanane says the move passed the Senate, but the jobs provision was taken out of the House version and they‘re trying to reinstall it.

A student from the International School of Indiana in Indianapolis recently had the opportunity to interview the First Lady of the United States.

13-year-old Grace Ybarra (e-BAR-uh) is a former member of the Scholastic Kids Press Corps. and now writes for Sports Illustrated Kids magazine.

She received the opportunity to interview Michelle Obama at the White House for a story on the First Lady‘s ‘Let‘s Move‘ campaign.  Ybarra says the interview was like talking to a friend.

She says when the interview was over, Mrs. Obama spent time asking Ybarra questions about where she came from, her school and what sports she plays.

Ybarra says she appreciated the First Lady taking the time out of her day to talk with her.  Ybarra says her story will be the cover story in the July edition of Sports Illustrated Kids magazine.

An Indiana school is getting a rare chance to pioneer cutting edge technology.

Thanks to a very brief video presentation for google, A Franklin High School class has been chosen to try out “GoogleGlass” Their teacher, Don Wettrick describes the product as a smart phone that you wear on your head, like glasses, that operates using voice command.

Wettrick says they already have some pretty big plans for google glass.  Outside of networking opportunities and the chance to talk to anyone else in the world who is piloting the product, Wettrick says he wants to livestream a fastball at Victory Field, or a ride in a tandem Indy car at the track.

The downside for Wettrick is that he is the one on the hook for the product‘s price tag of 15-hundred dollars, which is why he is reaching out for corporate sponsorship.

Wettrick says GoogleGlass represents what the kids will use in future classrooms.

Indiana State Police arrested a man who was believed to have been firing a handgun walking near Interstate 65 in Sellersburg.

According to Indiana State Police Sgt. Jerry Goodin, shortly after noon police received a call that a man, later identified as Jimmy A. Hernandez, 26, from Sellersburg, was walking with what appeared to be a black handgun. Motorists in the area also contacted police and claimed Hernandez had pointed the firearm at them when they passed him on the roadway.

Several police agencies were responding to the scene when dispatchers reported to police that Hernandez had fired shots into the air.

When Hernandez was arrested, police discovered the handgun he was believed to have been firing in the air was not real.

The weapon he was pretending to fire  looked like a real handgun, but also made a sound of a gun firing when you pulled the trigger, according to Goodin.

Hernandez was arrested for disorderly conduct, a class B misdemeanor, and taken to the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex.
