Safe Travel For Memorial Day Weekend

0

 

Memorial Day weekend traditionally starts off the summer travel season, and this season is shaping up to be the busiest in years.

Buckle Up and stay safe over the holiday weekend.

With race weekend coming up here in Indiana, Lieutenant Tony Delello, Commander of the Pendleton State Police Post, would like to remind all motorists that there will be extra troopers on the roadways this upcoming holiday weekend. 

Troopers will be working federally funded overtime during the “Click it or Ticket” Campaign and Operation CARE, or Combined Accident Reduction Effort, to help insure safe family travel.

The “AAA” Motor Club suggests leaving early if planning to travel this holiday weekend, as they are predicting that 39.3 million Americans will be traveling. The increase is expected to be the highest volume for holiday travel since 2005. 

With the expected increase in traffic, it’s important that motorists follow the safety tips below:

  • Obey all speed limits and always use your turn signals.
  • Never drink and drive-If celebrating make sure to have a designated driver.
  • Make sure everyone is buckled up and children are properly restrained in child seats.
  • Always watch for and expect slowed or stopped traffic ahead, especially when approaching construction zones.
  • When stopped in traffic be watchful of traffic approaching from behind and be ready to take evasive action if it appears traffic is approaching too fast to stop.
  • If you’re planning to travel a long distance, make sure you are well rested.   A fatigued driver is as dangerous as an impaired driver.
  • Avoid tailgating.  Remember the two-second rule, and always increase following distance in construction zones.
  • Leave early, expecting heavy traffic, and give yourself extra time to reach your destination.
  • Remember to ALWAYS SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER for emergency, utility and highway service vehicles.

The Pendleton District covers the eight counties of Delaware, Madison, and Randolph; Henry, Wayne, Union, Rush and Fayette counties.  Motorists are encouraged to report suspected impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1. Give a vehicle description, location, and direction of travel. Never follow an impaired driver.

0

This morning, Salem Mayor Troy Merry pledged to set up a fund to collect donations for flood relief victims. 

“I want it to be easy for folks to get money,” said Merry. “If they need $50 or $100, they can turn in information and we will make a short review and then get them some money. If they need something for their houses, I don’t want assistance to be tied up. I want 100 percent of the money to go to the citizens of Salem.”

Mayor Merry said every penny donated will be given to victims and vowed the process would be a streamlined it.

Clerk Treasurer Sally Hattabaugh has set up a special fund to collect the funds.

Checks may be made out to: Emergency Flood 2017 and sent to Salem City Hall, 201 E. Market St., Suite #101, Salem, IN 47167. 

You can also call 812-883-4265 for details. 

 

 

Salem Middle School Closed Tuesday; Waiting On Air Quality Tests

0

Despite plans to open the Salem Middle School on Tuesday, officials said this evening it will remain closed until Wednesday. 

“We are very sorry to report that Salem Middle School students and staff will not be attending school tomorrow,” Superintendent DL Reed said in an email. “Due to a delay in receiving our air quality clearance report, school will be cancelled for Middle School students only for Tuesday, May 23.”

The school’s basement flooded last Friday night as part of flash flooding around the City of Salem. Although Brock Creek flooded to the east of the school, damaging several sports facilities and fields, the water that flooded the school was from ground water that came from the west of the school. 

Water collapsed the retaining wall near the new gymnasium, and water funneled down the parking lot to a walkway to the basement. 

It quickly filled up and leaked into the basement, which filled up to a level of about 12-15 feet in about five minutes. 

Efforts have been made to remove flood-damaged equipment and dry out the wet facility. As part of that, mold spores and other allergens have to be cleaned and surfaces disinfected. ServPro worked over the weekend and today to clean and disinfect the school and today worked to dry it out. 

An air-quality test had to be administered and must be passed before students can return to school. 

Air quality tests were sent out and results were expected back today. However, by 7:30p , the test results were not back so officials decided to postpone school another day. 

Reed said, “We are putting your child’s health and safety first.  Hopefully we will be back on Wednesday.  We will keep you updated.”
