The Hoosier Idol Talent Show which earlier was to be held at the grandstand at the Washington County Fair has been moved to the Salem Middle School.

The move is due to flooding in some areas around the fairgrounds and inclement weather.

According to the WSLM/International Woods Digital Weather Station, the Washington County area recieved more than an inch of rain in about an hour. More than 30 lightening strikes were recorded in the same time frame.

The program will start at 8pm.

All previous tickets sold will be honored at the school.

The Washington County Fair Board has determined the Hoosier Idol Talent Show will still be held at the grandstand at the fairgrounds tonight.

The program starts at 8p.

Campus signage will be present to direct the public to available parking for the duration of camp. Entire practices will be open to the public free of charge, however, Anderson University will charge a parking fee for campus visitors.

The prosecutor in David Camm‘s third murder trial says things are on schedule.
Special Prosecutor Stan Levco says that even with the significant number of motions presented to the judge in a hearing on Monday, he believes the case will still go to trial on August 5.

Levco says the motions include a broad spectrum of issues from evidence admissibility to issues with witnesses. He says he expects to judge to rule on Monday‘s motions in the next few weeks and says more motions will be presented to Special Judge Jonathan Dartt at a July 16 hearing.
Camm is facing his third murder trial in the deaths of his wife Kim and kids Jill and Brad in their Georgetown, Indiana home September of 2000. The convictions from the two previous trials were overturned on appeal.

The next Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent will be running a school system for the first time.

None of the three finalists chosen by the IPS Board has been a superintendent before, and none is from Indiana. Thomas Darden is Executive Director of New York Schools for ASPIRA, a group that offers support to young Latinos. Lewis Ferebee (FAIR-uh-bee) is currently chief of staff for Durham Public Schools in North Carolina. Millard House is also from North Carolina – he is Chief Operating Officer for Charlotte-Mecklenberg Schools.
The finalists will interview with the board Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and meet the public at a forum Thursday night. The community meeting will start at 6:00 pm at the Board Room of the John Morton-Finney Center for Educational Services, located at 120 East Walnut Street. Each of the candidates will address those attending the meeting, with time to talk informally with the public afterward.

The Board is expected to choose the favorite for the next superintendent during a private meeting Saturday morning. Under state law, the board is required to publicly post the superintendent‘s contract and hold a public meeting on the contract before making an official hire.

A date for that public meeting has not been set.

Emergency responders were called to the scene of a deadly two-vehicle crash accident in Clark County just east of Borden.

The accident happened about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday near Deam Lake in the 14500 block of State Road 60, about three miles east of Borden, according to Indiana State Police.

An ISP dispatcher said one person died at the scene and a second person was rushed to a hospital. That person’s condition was not immediately known.

Traffic was expected to be diverted from the area for at least a couple of hours.

Lawrence Police have identified that couple killed in what they believe to be a murder-suicide.

Capt. Curtis Bigsbee says they found 31-year-old Jeff Nelson and 31-year-old wife Shelly Nelson dead at their home at the Salem Courthouse Apartments early Tuesday morning.

Bigsbee says they had responded to a 911 call from children in the home. The kids range in age from five to 17. Bigsbee says they‘re still confirming how Shelly Nelson died, but he says police found Jeff Nelson dead from an apparent gunshot wound in the woods behind the apartment building.

He adds they‘re still trying to determine if a domestic disturbance led up to the incident. Police stated earlier that two teen girls in the home suffered minor injuries and were treated at Community North Hospital.

Bigsbee says all of the kids are now with relatives.

The Indiana Supreme Court says the burden is on prosecutors to prove accused murderers should be held without bail.

Indiana‘s constitution guarantees bail for most offenses, but says bail can be denied for murder or treason if “the proof is evident or the presumption strong.”

A 3-2 Supreme Court says it‘s up to prosecutors to provide that proof by a preponderance of the evidence. The ruling overturns a 147-year-old precedent of making defendants win the right to post bond.

Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council executive director David Powell says the ruling will likely mean more work for prosecutors, but says it‘s too soon to say what the change will mean beyond that. He notes each county has its own schedule of typical bail for different offenses.

The new standard will only come up in a handful of cases. The court says in fiscal 2011, just 193 Hoosiers were charged with murder.

The ruling is of no benefit to the Cass County murder suspect who filed the case. The court ruled 4-1 that prosecutors met their burden in denying bail to Loren Fry in a 2011 murder.

Parents might not be aware of it, but drug counselors say many teens certainly are.

Experts say more and more teens and college students are experimenting with alcohol not by drinking it, but inhaling it.

Scott Watson of Heartland Intervention says young folks are inhaling alcohol hoping to get high, but without the calories and blood alcohol content. Both of which authorities say are still detectable in the body.

Watson says vaporized alcohol still has the same effects and inhaling it might lead to even quicker, more dangerous alcohol poisoning. Experts say inhaling alcohol can also dry out the nasal passages and make people more prone to infections.

They say inhaling alcohol has become very popular within the past year or so.
