Holiday World Presents Fun Activities For Kids at Home

0
Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari have created Holidog’s Digital FunTown to kick summer off early. 

Holidog’s Digital FunTown page is already full of ways to bring Holiday World home, including interactive videos, printable worksheets, and content for kids of all ages at home. In addition to workout, magic and cooking videos, adults can also enjoy Spotify playlists and the Holiday World Podcast.

“As soon as schools started closing, we started hearing from parents who just wanted to bring their kids for the summer already,” says fourth-generation owner, Leah Koch. “Since Opening Day may be farther away than we’d hoped, we decided we needed to bring a little Holiday World into everyone’s homes.”

As part of the effort to kick summer off early, families are encouraged to recreate Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari rides at home, or invent new rides for the park and share those ideas using the hashtag #HomemadeHoWo. Those 18 and older who submit videos will be eligible to win tickets to Holiday World this summer. 

“This is a time that will stick in our memories forever. We want to help families keep those memories fun and positive. That’s what Holiday World is all about,” adds Koch. 

Holiday World may postpone its Opening Day, depending on COVID-19. Visit HolidayWorld.com/COVID-19 for the most updated information. 

Fourth-generation owner, Leah Koch is available for interviews by request by contacting Sabrina Jones at 812-453-2876.

Versailles Woman Killed in Ripley County Crash

0

Yesterday, April 6, 2020, at approximately 3:00 pm, troopers from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post responded to a two-vehicle crash on State Road 350 near Osgood, Indiana that claimed the life of a Versailles, Indiana woman.

The initial investigation by Master Trooper Ben Bastin indicated a black 2003 Mazda passenger car being driven my Tammy R. Judd, age 48, Versailles, Indiana was traveling eastbound on State Road 350 near Finks Road.  For an unknown reason, Judd’s vehicle left the south side of the road and struck a guardrail.  Judd’s vehicle then came back onto the road and entered the westbound lane of State Road 350 into the path of a white 1998 Chevrolet dumptruck being driven by Brock A. Peetz, age 44, Napoleon, Indiana.

The vehicles struck nearly head on in the westbound lane of State Road 350.  After the collision, Judd’s vehicle came to rest in the center of State Road 350.  Peetz vehicle left the north side of the roadway before overturning and coming to rest.  Judd sustained fatal injuries in the collision.  She was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Ripley County Coroner’s Office.  Peetz sustained minor injuries in the collision. 

Toxicology results on both drivers are pending at this time.

SR 350 was closed for nearly four hours for crash investigation and cleanup.

The investigation is ongoing.

Tammy Judd’s family has been notified.

Trp. Bastin was assisted by Troopers Elston, Prather, Linville, and Holley.  The Indiana State Police was also assisted by the Ripley County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana Conservation Officers, Osgood Fire Department, Ripley County EMS, and Ripley County Coroner’s Office.    

ISO Announces Personnel Changes Due to COVID-19 Impact 

0

Extraordinary circumstances created from the COVID-19 outbreak caused the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra to cancel performances through May 27.

In an unprecedented step to protect its long-term viability, the ISO last week placed its musicians and stagehands on unpaid furlough and laid off nearly half of its administrative staff.  

ISO leadership has applied for financial relief through the Paycheck Protection Program as part of the recently passed CARES Act. CEO James Johnson has advised employees on furlough or layoff to seek unemployment benefits. The ISO has committed to providing healthcare coverage through May. 

“Given the far-reaching economic impact of COVID-19, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is implementing measures to best protect its financial stability during this time,” Johnson said. 

“These personnel actions are extraordinarily difficult, but necessary to manage the challenges faced by our organization. The health and safety of our employees remain a priority. I am grateful that our Board of Directors has pledged to fund health insurance for employees for the near future.” 

As is the case with all organizations in the performing arts and entertainment industry, the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak has prevented the ISO from being able to announce, promote or confirm plans for future performances until there is definitive guidance on when it will be safe to gather and perform again.

During this hiatus, the ISO is retaining a minimum administrative staff on reduced pay and benefits to maintain basic operations. Johnson said that while the ISO is preserving its resources, it is planning for the moment when it can reunite its workforce. 

“At this time, our thoughts are for those on the front lines of the pandemic, especially first responders and healthcare workers,” said Johnson.

“However, we know that music will have a role to play in bringing relief to our community. We look forward to the time when it is safe to resume performing. We will be ready and eager to play our part. It is the ISO’s intention to emerge from this challenging period better, stronger, and more clearly focused on delivering on our mission to serve the community.” 

Members of the community interested in supporting the ISO’s efforts to recover from the challenges related to the COVID-19 outbreak are encouraged to visit www.indianapolissymphony.org/donate to find more information about making a financial contribution or donating the value of tickets from canceled concerts.

Scott County Setting Up Emergency Tents

0

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of setting up three military tents at the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, (1), and the Scott County Health Department, (2). 

These tents are being set up with the assistance of the Indiana National Guard as a precautionary and training action only.

“We want to be prepared for any possible needs we may encounter in the future due to the Coronavirus, (Covid-19), or any other disaster that could hit us medically, weather, etc.,” according to Scott County Sheriff Jerry Goodin.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office has been working with the Scott County Health Department and others to help keep citizens, employees and prisoner’s safe.

Sheriff Goodin believes in being prepared for anything that can happen and being prepared means being trained.

Sheriff Goodin also stated, “It is a lot easier to explain why we did something to be prepared than to explain why we did not do anything”.
