Hollingsworth Supports Apollo 1 Memorial

0

Friday afternoon, a bill to establish the 50th Anniversary Apollo I Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery was introduced.

Representative Trey Hollingsworth added his name as an original co-sponsor to this piece of bi-partisan legislation honoring Command Pilot Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, who perished in the Apollo I explosion, was a native of Indiana’s 9th District and a graduate of Purdue University.

Born in Mitchell, Grissom became interested in flying at a young age and would use the money he earned from delivering newspapers and working at a service station to pay a local attorney for flying lessons.

Representative Hollingsworth released the following statement regarding his support of this bill:

“It is extremely fitting that today, the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo I explosion, a bill to commemorate and honor the lives of Astronauts Gus Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee was introduced. These men embodied the principles that mankind has embraced for centuries. We are meant to be explorers. We are meant to ask questions, dive deeper, reach farther, and fly higher. I am proud to be an original supporter of this effort.”

Credit Card Skimming of Indiana State Police Fuel Cards

0

The Indiana State Police has fallen victim to the recent criminal trend of credit card skimming.

It was recently discovered some Indiana State Police fuel cards were compromised and one particular card was used for more than $1,000 in fraudulent charges.

All the affected cards were used at one particular Central Indiana gas station.

Investigators are now working to determine how the credit card information was obtained, but they believe it was likely through a skimming device installed on a gas pump.

This is an ongoing investigation and few details are available at this time. We are asking area gas stations to regularly check their gas pumps and report any suspicious activity to police.

The Indiana State Police would like to offer the following tips to decrease the chances of falling victim to credit card skimming at gas stations:

  • Use the pump closest to the building or in clear view of the cashier. When placing skimming devices criminals try not to be seen and will often use pumps where employees have obstructed views
  • Look for wires hanging out of access panels, and damaged or broken locks on the gas pump.
  • Look at other gas pumps to be sure the credit card readers all look the same and use your fingers to physically pull on it.
  • Look for tamper-resistant seals on access panels
  • Avoid entering your PIN number at a gas pump, or if you must, be sure to shield it with your other hand.
  • If anything looks suspicious about the pump, report it to an employee and go to another location.
  • Diligently check your credit card statement each month for fraudulent charges. Criminals often use stolen credit card numbers to make small purchases ensuring it will work before racking up large amounts of money.

I-65 Crash Claims Life of Brownstown Woman

0

A crash on I-65 killed a Brownstown woman earlier today.

At approximately 12:10 pm, the Indiana State Police and Jackson County Sheriff’s Department responded to a two vehicle personal injury crash on I-65 near the 55 mile marker. 

Kimberly Sneed, 47, Brownstown, died later at Columbus Regional Hospital.

As a result of the crash, two others suffered serious injuries.
 
The initial investigation by Trooper Matt Holley and Sgt. Stephen Wheeles indicated that a silver 2009 Honda Civic being driven by Kimberly Sneed, age 47, Brownstown, Indiana was merging onto northbound I-65 from northbound State Road 11 when she lost control of the vehicle. 

The vehicle spun before entering the northbound lanes of I-65.  Sneed’s vehicle was struck head-on by a blue 2013 Honda CRV being driven by Anthony Bonadonna, age 72, Arlington Heights, Illinois. 
 
As a result of the collision, Sneed was transported by ambulance to Columbus Regional Hospital where she soon succumbed to her injuries. 

Anthony Bonadonna and his wife, Diana Bonadonna, age 56, were both transported to Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, Indiana before being transferred to an Indianapolis area hospital for treatment of their serious injuries. 

Their conditions are unknown at this time.
 
The northbound lanes of I-65 were closed for approximately two hours for crash investigation and cleanup.  It is unknown if road conditions at the time played a role in the crash.
 
The Sneed family has been notified.
 
The Indiana State Police was assisted by Deputies Adam Nicholson and Rob Henley with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, the Seymour Police Department, Seymour Fire Department, Jackson County EMS, and Hampton’s Wrecker Service.
 

Indiana University statement on immigration executive order

0
Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie has issued the following statement about the executive order on immigration signed Friday, Jan. 27:

“At Indiana University, we embrace openness to the world. This has long been a hallmark of great global universities such as ours that seek to attract the best students, scholars and researchers from every country and champion the cause of greater cultural understanding.

“The executive order issued on Friday that bars citizens and refugees from certain countries from entering the U.S. is contrary to the very core of our values as an institution committed to excellence and innovation, a diversity of community and ideas, respect for the dignity of others and engagement in the economic, civic, cultural and social development of our state, our nation and our world.

“IU’s educational, research and service missions are inextricably bound with the rest of the world and rooted in a belief in the ever-increasing value of international literacy and experience. This is why we urge the administration to end this executive order, which threatens to disrupt these missions, as quickly as possible. We also would encourage the administration to make it clear to the rest of the world that our nation’s colleges and universities will continue to open their doors to the best and brightest scholars and researchers who, through their teaching, discoveries and innovations, play a vital role in enhancing our nation’s economic competitiveness and prosperity.

“The directives contained in this executive order will have a considerable impact on IU’s international students and scholars, many of whom are feeling frightened and unsettled, interfering with their travel plans and other commitments. In response, we are advising that all of our international students and scholars allow plenty of time for visa processing, as wait times are expected to increase, and we are also strongly recommending that citizens of the seven countries targeted for new visitation restrictions not travel to any country outside the U.S. at this time.

“We recognize the critical importance of a strong and effective visa process to protecting our national security, which is why we continue to support collaborative efforts that ensure our visa system prevents entry from anyone who wishes to harm Americans.

“At the same time, we remain committed to doing all that we can within the bounds of the law to vigorously protect and support IU students, faculty and staff. Additionally, we will continue to provide counseling to students on immigration-related concerns through our Office of International Services, which is maintaining a new webpage with current information and advice, while we intensify our advocacy for expanded access to higher education for all IU students living in the U.S.

“We will conduct all of our actions in pursuit of our enduring mission: to educate our students for active, engaged and committed citizenship, prepare them for public service and contribute to the building of civil society around the globe.”

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS HIRE CHRIS BALLARD AS GENERAL MANAGER

0

 

The Indianapolis Colts today hired Chris Ballard as the team’s new general manager.

“I am extremely excited to welcome Chris Ballard as our general manager,” said Colts Owner & CEO Jim Irsay. “Chris has a solid reputation throughout the National Football League as a heavyweight executive and our extensive discussions with him confirmed that reputation. He’s a savvy, organized, and thorough talent evaluator, but beyond that, he’s a terrific person our community will be proud of.”

Ballard comes to the Colts following a four-year stint with the Kansas City Chiefs, most recently as the director of football operations from 2015-16. He was promoted to the position after serving two seasons (2013-14) as the Chiefs’ director of player personnel. Prior to Kansas City, Ballard began his NFL career with the Chicago Bears. In 12 seasons with the Bears personnel department, he served as the director of pro scouting (2012) and as the southwest area scout (2001-2011).

“I am so thankful to Mr. Irsay and his entire family for this opportunity to join the Colts organization,” said Colts General Manager Chris Ballard. “I appreciate everyone who has been involved in the search process. I look forward to working with Chuck and his staff, the personnel staff, and all the outstanding Colts employees. My wife Kristen and our children cannot wait to get to Indianapolis and become active members of the community.”

“I am extremely excited about Chris coming on as our general manager,” said Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and a ton of experience to the organization. I’m looking forward to rolling up our sleeves and going to work alongside him.”

As director of football operations, Ballard oversaw the college and pro scouting departments and worked directly with Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey on player acquisition. He also worked with Kansas City’s Director of Pro Scouting Will Lewis and Director of College Scouting Marvin Allen on personnel matters.

Since 2013, the Chiefs have won 43 games (fourth-most in the NFL), made three playoff appearances, won one AFC West Division title (2016) and have had 15 players named to the Pro Bowl, including at least four in each season. Inheriting a roster that went 2-14 in 2012, Ballard assisted in an overhaul of Kansas City’s roster in 2013. By the time the 2013 season was over, there were a total of 30 new players on the 53-man roster that went 11-5 and reached the playoffs as a Wild Card contender after finishing second in the AFC West.

Ballard helped the Chiefs draft four Pro Bowl players, including linebacker D.J. Alexander, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, tight end Travis Kelce and cornerback Marcus Peters. The team also acquired quarterback Alex Smith in free agency in 2013 and he has earned two Pro Bowl nods (2013, 2016).

During Ballard’s tenure in Chicago, the Bears reached the playoffs four times, winning four NFC North titles (2001, 2005, 2006 and 2010) and appearing in two NFC Championship Games (2006 and 2010). The Bears won the NFC Championship in 2006 and faced the Colts in Super Bowl XLI in Miami.

With the Bears, Ballard helped draft numerous Pro Bowl players, including running back Matt Forte (2008), wide receiver Johnny Knox (2009), cornerback Charles Tillman (2003), defensive tackle Tommie Harris (2004), cornerback Nathan Vasher (2004) and defensive tackle Henry Melton (2009). He also assisted in many notable acquisitions and trades, including the signings of wide receiver Brandon Marshall, running back Michael Bush, guard Jermon Bushrod, tight end Martellus Bennett, linebacker D.J. Williams and linebacker James Anderson.

Prior to entering player personnel, Ballard spent seven seasons (1994-2000) on the coaching staff at Texas A&M-Kingsville under 2012 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Head Coach Ron Harms. In 2000, he served as defensive coordinator after stints as secondary coach (1995-99) and wide receivers coach (1994). During his time with the Javelinas, Ballard helped mentor future NFL players Richard Jones, Karl Williams, Floyd Young and current Chiefs Defensive Assistant/Secondary Coach Al Harris. Additionally, Texas A&M-Kingsville produced 1996 first-round draft pick Jermane Mayberry.

Ballard played four years of collegiate football at the University of Wisconsin and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1993. He served as a student assistant his senior year after suffering multiple knee injuries.
