I-65 NB patching will now begin Friday, Sept. 11

Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Rieth-Riley Construction will now begin asphalt patching on I-65 on or after Friday, Sept. 11, weather permitting. Patching was originally scheduled to begin last month but was canceled due to weather.

The contract covers both directions of I-65 between S.R. 252 at Edinburgh (Exit 80) and a mile south of S.R. 44 at Franklin (Exit 90).

Work is planned over six weekends, with around-the-clock, single-lane closures starting as early as 8 p.m. each Friday through 6 a.m. each Monday. 

This Friday night, crews plan to begin patching near S.R. 252 and move north on I-65 toward Franklin. This will continue for the first three weekends. Crews will move to southbound I-65 in early October.

Motorists are reminded to slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones. “Back of queue” trucks equipped with flashing lights and additional signage will be used on the contract to alert drivers of slowed and/or stopped traffic ahead. All work is weather dependent.

Paul Edward Jolly of Salem, Indiana passed away peacefully on September
6th after a six month battle with cancer.

Born May 3, 1940, he was the son of the late L.G. and Doris (Cotton) Jolly.

Paul grew up in Rockport, IN, attended college at the University of
Evansville and Indiana University was a US Navy veteran and lived most
of his adult life in Salem, IN.

Paul married Margo (Heilig) Jolly on June 1, 1968, and raised two boys,
Andy and Todd. Paul enjoyed teaching for 35 years at Salem High School
and Salem Middle School.

He also coached football and golf and always had endless stories of his past students and athletes.

Paul was a member of the Salem United Methodist Church. His passion for fishing, which
started with his brother on the Ohio River as kids, led to Paul’s
‘second career’ in competitive Bass Fishing.

He fished more tournaments than we could count, won quite a few, and started a successful tournament circuit, The Hoosier Open.

His fishing career culminated this year in being nominated as one of only 17 people in the Indiana Bass Fishing Hall of Fame.

Paul also worked at Ski Paoli Peaks as a part-time ski instructor for more than 40 years and was still teaching lessons up to last year.

One of his greatest joys was sharing his passion for fishing and skiing with his grandchildren, whether on Lake Patoka, Colorado, or Lake Tahoe California.

Paul is survived by his wife Margo, sons Andy (Avis) & Todd (Olivia),
and brother John (Shirley). Paul is also survived by 4 grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you please consider a donation to the

State Police Detectives Warn Public about Online Dog Scams

0

Indiana State Police Detectives at Evansville are currently investigating a couple of fraud incidents involving individuals attempting to purchase dogs online.

One recent Warrick County resident purchased a dog through a website and paid $900.

The dog was going to be shipped to the buyer and required insurance and vaccinations, which was an additional $2,800.

After the resident paid the additional funds, the company informed the buyer that the insurance was expired and they needed additional payment.

The resident became suspicious, refused to send any additional payment and contacted Indiana State Police. The victim paid a total of $3,700 and never received a dog.

According to the Better Business Bureau data, nearly 10,000 scam reports and complaints have been received during the last three years about businesses selling puppies and dogs. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that only about 10% of victims report these crimes, so this number could be much higher.

Tips if you are interested in purchasing a dog online:

  • Avoid classified sites.
  • Communicate with the seller.
  • Research prices.
  • Meet the seller and puppy/dog.
  • Get a contract and check references.
  • Be wary of shipping services.
  • Never wire money or use gift cards for payment.
  • If the price is too good to be true, it’s likely a scam!
