The trip is designed to educate youth about the impact they can have on our government begins June 8 in Indianapolis and ends June 15.

According to Matthew Deaton, General Manager/CEO of Orange County REMC, Indiana will send a delegation of approximately 107 students from throughout the state. The students are selected by the local electric cooperatives. More than 1,600 students from 47 states will travel to Washington for the week-long experience.

“Orange County REMC is pleased to provide this opportunity for our local youth,” Deaton said. “It’s a great trip and a wonderful chance to see the sights, make new friends and learn how everyone, even young people, can make a difference in the political process.”

Students participating in the trip will visit the Flight 93 and Pentagon 9/11 Memorials, the Gettysburg Battlefield, Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian Institution, a night cruise on the Potomac River, the National Mall memorials, the National Museum of the Marine Corps and much more.

The Indiana Youth Tour students will also participate in a youth rally hosted by NRECA, during which they will share their thoughts and opinions on a variety of timely issues. The youth rally will prepare the students for a day on Capitol Hill, where they will have an opportunity to meet with Indiana’s congressional delegation.

State Police Investigating Two Scams

0

The Indiana State Police at Sellersburg is sending out a scam alert for possible victims who may not even know they are a victim.
 
The first involves a used car dealership located in Sellersburg.

All American Auto, which was located at 108 Prather Lane in Sellersburg is no longer in business however, complaints started coming in early March of this year when people who bought an automobile from the All American Auto Dealership did not receive titles to the vehicles they purchased.

Some of the victims are also complaining they had purchased extended warranties on the vehicles and those warranties are not valid.

Indiana State Police Detectives are working at least fifteen cases for theft, vehicle theft and check deception involving the auto dealership.

The offices of the Indiana Secretary of State, the Indiana Attorney General and the Clark County Prosecutor are assisting in the investigation by also working cases and assisting victims. 
 
The owners/operators of the dealership, Kayla Meade and Dustin Meade of Charlestown, IN, are facing several charges involving activities that took place involving the used car dealership.
 
Anyone who purchased a car and/or warranty and believes they may be a victim of All American Auto Sales dealings, are encouraged to contact the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg, the office of the Indiana Secretary of State or the office of the Indiana Attorney General for assistance. The contact numbers are listed below.
 
The second scam involves a skimming device located at the Fuel Mart Truck Stop at 145 North Dowling Drive, next to Interstate #65, Exit #34, in Austin.
 
On May 9th, the operators of the truck stop contacted the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg stating they had located a card skimming device on gas pump #3 at the station. The device was immediately removed and has since been secured in evidence at the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg.
 
It is unknown at this time how long the skimming device was on the gas pump but believe it had been there since at least May 1, 2017.
 
Anyone who thinks their credit or debit card may have been compromised are encouraged to contact the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg, (contact information below).

0

The Fair board has set a workday for the Washington County Fairgrounds on Wednesday, May 17 at 9 a.m. to improve and upgrade some of the aging electrical service.

This will be a joint project performed by Duke Energy, Jackson County REMC and Orange County REMC. These three electric providers are donating their time and talents to make our fairgrounds a safer and more efficient place which is used by the general public.

The fairgrounds is used not only during the week of the annual fair but also throughout the year for auctions, meetings, receptions, parties, yard sales, sporting events, horse shows, dog training, livestock shows and many other miscellaneous events.

“We want to publicly thank these three electric utility companies for generously agreeing to help us with this much needed project,” said Fair Board President Tony Nolan. 

 

Nolan said this is the first time that all three companies have agreed to come together to work on a project of this size.

“We want everyone in our area know how much we appreciate these three companies that provide electricity to the residents of Washington County, Indiana,” said Nolan. 

The fair begins Saturday, June 17 with the baby contest and runs through June 24.

A three vehicle crash on I-70 near Keystone Avenue has claimed the life of one person. Emergency crews were called to the scene of a serious crash around 1:15 this afternoon on I-70 eastbound at the 83.9 mile marker.

A third vehicle struck the rear of the repair vehicle, causing it to strike a person who was outside the vehicle, that person died from their injuries.

I-70 is expected to be closed for approximately two more hours while the crash is investigated. There is no further information to release at this time.

As further details become available they will be released.
