Pedestrian Struck and Killed in Dearborn County Crash
Last night, at approximately 10:00 pm, the Indiana State Police responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on Sunnyside Avenue near Woodlawn Avenue which resulted in the death of a Lawrenceburg, Indiana man.
According to the initial investigation by the Indiana State Police Crash Reconstruction Team, Jason C. Boone, age 34, Lawrenceburg, Indiana was walking in the middle of the eastbound lane of Sunnyside Avenue when he was struck by an eastbound 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt being driven by Christopher M. Pyles, age 29, Aurora, Indiana. Boone was then struck by a westbound 2011 Nissan Sentra being driven by a seventeen year old female from Dillsboro, Indiana.
Boone sustained massive injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Dearborn County Coroner’s Office. Neither Pyles nor the seventeen year old juvenile were injured in the crash.
Per state law, both Pyles and the juvenile submitted to blood tests although alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash. It is unknown why Boone was walking in the middle of the road in that area.
The Boone family has been notified. The investigation is ongoing.
Trp. Korry Clark, Indiana State Police Crash Reconstruction Team, was assisted by the Aurora Police Department, Dearborn County Sheriff’s Department, Dearborn County Coroner’s Office, and Aurora Fire Department.
Greene County Native Awarded Bloomington District “Trooper of the Year”
The Indiana State Police “Trooper of the Year” Award was recently selected by the Command Staff from the Bloomington Post and was presented before all Troopers at a recent District Meeting.
Factors used to determine the “Trooper of the Year” included, but were not limited to, traffic and criminal enforcement, community involvement and specialty assignments such as SCUBA, ERT, Meth Lab Team, Instructor ratings, or other services performed for the department that go beyond normal expectations.
The Trooper who achieved outstanding enforcement efforts in the areas of traffic, criminal, public service and who has exemplified the character expected of an Indiana State Trooper was Master Trooper John Yung.
A plaque was presented to M/Trp John Yung that read “In recognition for the high level of service, dedication, and professionalism exemplified in service to the citizens of Indiana and the Indiana State Police.”
Master Trooper Yung is a 21 year veteran with ISP.
ISP Sgt. Jan Kruse said “[M/Trooper] John Yung epitomizes what a police officer should be and we are lucky to have him serving in the Bloomington District”.
Yung graduated from the 53rd ISP Recruit School in December of 1995, grew up in Greene County and graduated from Linton-Stockton High School in 1980. Yung then served with the Greene County Sheriff’s Department for eight years before graduating from Vincennes University in 1993 with an Associate’s Degree in Law Enforcement.
Upon his graduation from the Indiana State Police Academy, Yung was assigned to the Versailles Post where he served as a road trooper, primarily patrolling Dearborn and Ohio Counties until 1997. Master Trooper Yung then transferred to the Bloomington Post where he currently serves at his current position of Master Trooper, primarily assigned to Greene County.
During his career, Yung has served on the Tactical Intervention Platoon (Riot Squad) since 1998 and has also served as a member of the Critical Incident Stress Management Team for the past 17 years.
Bloomington District Commander, Lieutenant Paul Bucher stated “Master Trooper Yung has always been one of the hardest working police officers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with; he is a valuable asset not only to the citizens of the State of Indiana but to the other law enforcement officers he serves with daily. His work ethic and professionalism do not go unnoticed”.
Yung is married to his wife Heather; they have one daughter, Haley and reside in Greene County.

Tornadoes Confirmed in Washington, Orange, Lawrence, Clark and Scott Counties
The National Weather Service has made determinations that a tornado touched down in Northwestern Washington County as part of Wednesday’s storms.
Tornadoes were also confirmed in Scott, Clark, Lawrence and Orange County.
An NWS storm survey, in conjunction with Washington County Emergency Management concluded that a tornado touched down in Saltillo and was embedded in a larger field of straight-line winds.
The tornado may have been an extension of the Lawrence/Orange County EF-2, and further work is being done to confirm the extension of the path.
Officials said the preliminary path length is 5 miles with a max width of 100 yards for the tornado, however the overall straight-line wind path width was close to a mile wide in spots.
The most intense tornado damage happened shortly after touchdown, where over 50 healthy hardwood trees had snapped trunks with no foliage.
In addition, an outbuilding lost part of a roof, and debris struck a residence causing cracked masonry and dented drywall on the inside of the structure.
Maximum wind speeds of 100 mph were estimated in this area.
The tornado continued eastward where more homes experienced minor roof damage, trees were uprooted, and a large outbuilding was nearly destroyed.
After crossing Cave River Valley Rd and White River Rd, the tornado took out nearly 50 softwood trees.
Farther east, over 100 hardwood and softwood trees were uprooted and snapped, and notable convergence was observed.
After driving a 4X6 post through the roof of a home near Hunter Rd, the tornado continued east to Prowsville Ridge Rd, where an uptick to 90-95 mph intensity was noted.
Another stand of nearly 50 hardwood trees were uprooted and snapped, along with significant damage to a porch and roof of a home.
Tornadic damage ceased east of Cox Ferry Rd, however some instances of straight-line winds were noted all the way to Delaney Park Rd.
It was also noted that straight-line winds were surveyed south of the tornado damage path, from Saltillo eastward to West Washington School Rd.
Eyewitness accounts put this damage at slightly earlier times than when the tornado damage occurred. The straight-line wind damage ranged from 60-80 mph.
A series of microbursts and straight line winds reaching over 90 mph were evident in the broader damage path south of Salem and towards Pekin.
The first spot was where a roof was removed from a house along IN 135, 9 miles from Salem.
Continuing east-southeast, there were many locations with sporadic tree and barn damage, the worse along Voyles Road 3 miles south of New Pekin.
The roof was removed in two abandoned buildings in downtown Pekin and Borden.
The sporadic damage continued east along and near IN 60 past Bennettsville.
A small tornado rated at EF1 touched down in the backyard of a home about a quarter mile west from the caution light on IN 60 in Borden and uprooted trees and caused roof damage to the home.
The tornado moved along Muddy Fork and snapped or uprooted numerous trees.
Then the tornado crossed IN 60 where it was witnessed by people in the Buckboard Diner.
Next, the tornado removed the roof of the older building next to the cafe and a garage behind the cafe.
It threw its debris into a small church and removed some of its roof.
No other damage in the narrow path was seen beyond this point, according to the National Weather Service.
Over in Scottsburg, an EF1 tornado touched down on Interstate 65 at approximately mile marker 25.5.
Moving east south east, it collapsed a wall on a large cinder block building, then destroyed two metal outbuildings and flipped an unanchored mobile home on a farmstead just east of the interstate.
It continued skipping east uprooting and snapping trees and destroying an anchored mobile home on Underwood Road.
Three residents were in the home at the time when it rolled over and disintegrated.
They received minor injuries.
The tornado then damaged an outbuilding and numerous more trees as it headed east toward toward Double or Nothing Road.
Near the intersection of Double or Nothing Road and Radio Tower Road, it destroyed a large garage and pushed a doublewide manufactured home off its foundation.
The tornado was embedded in a 1-2 mile wide area of 60 to 80 mph winds that extended further east for over 10 miles, and may have briefly touched down within this area as well.
The twister was on the ground for about 2 miles and was about 200 yards wide.
Another twister was confirmed in Lawrence County. The tornado collapsed 3 metal chicken barns and damaged or destroyed some outbuildings.
The tornado continued southeast into Orange County before lifting. The tornado produced EF-1 level damage in Orange County, destroying two mobile homes.
One mobile home rolled over onto a new vehicle where three occupants were unhurt.
The car ended up inside the living room of the mobile home. The other mobile home took a direct hit, taking the roof off and blowing the walls out of half of the home.
An occupant of the home was blown into the field with home debris, while leaving living room furniture in place.
The resident received only minor injuries.
Salem Looking for $6.77 Water Increase
The City of Salem is looking at an $11 million project to renovate its aging water treatment system and to do that it needs to increase the average water bill about $6.77.
Mayor Troy Merry wants to divide that increase up over three years, but at least one person at Tuesday night’s town hall meeting wants to get it over with.
“Rather than have people upset over three years, do it at one time and get it over with,” said Mike Pennington. “I understand what the city has been working with. For every $1 the water department takes in, it spends 99 cents.”
Merry said the topic will come up at the regular meet city meetings in March for discussion. He also noted that Salem’s trash pickup fee would likely be raised as well.
He indicated no sewer rates would be affected.
“We went to get a grant to pay for this and we were told we couldn’t get a grant because our rates were too low,” said Merry. “Our current average water bill is about $18.”
Out of 9 other local communities, Salem’s is the lowest.
- Scottsburg is at $20.44 for 4,000 gallons of water.
- Hanover is at $22.60
- Bedford is at $24.14
- Austin is at $26.75
- Sellersburg is at $27.08
- Loogootee is at $31.54
- Jasper is at $34.91
- Paoli is at $44.40
- Mitchell is at $53.11 (on rates last raised in 2009)
Merry said Salem would fit in around $25.65; still on the low end.
At the same time, Merry would also like to raise the trash rates, which have been $5.50 per month since Frank Newkirk Sr. was last in office in the early 90s.
“I looked at other communities on the cost of trash pickup,” said Merry. “The mayor almost fell out in the floor when I told him what our rate was. Their rate was $11 plus $25 for additional items carted off.”
With the $1 increase in trash and the water increase, the average Salem customer with a $20 water bill would see an extra $7.70 increase.
On the extreme for residential customers, a $50 water bill would see an extra $18.50 per month.
The increase would add an extra $579,000 for the water department on an annual basis.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Washington County is looking at years of neglect with the County Courthouse and is looking at extensive and expensive repairs.
The City of Salem is finding itself in the same situation with its water treatment facilities.
According to Dylan Lambermont of Wessler Engineering, the John Hay plant which was built in 1968, is operating with most of its original equipment – that’s 49 years.
“There are parts of the system in serious need of repair,” said Lambermont. “The pumps are original equipment and they are not operating at optimal condition. In fact, it’s costing the city almost $28,000 a year in electricity because of their inefficient operation.”
The new facility will also have a sustained maintenance plan to make sure this stays in good condition for years to come. It will also be able to handle up to 3 million gallons of water on a maxed out day and 2.37 million gallons on an average day.
That would be a significant increase over today’s capabilities.
The max capacity today is 2.57 million gallons a day. However, the plant is only able to pump about a fraction because of its failing condition.
With Lake Salinda out of the picture, all eyes are on Lake John Hay to supply the needed 2.02 million gallons of water a day that serves 17,202 people in Washington County.
That’s 6,719 in Salem and the city sells water to 8,458 in the East Washington Rural Water Corporation service area and 2,025 in the Town of New Pekin.
However, about 32 percent of the water treated at the current plant, is unsold. In fact in 2014 and 2015, 237 million gallons went unaccounted for.
Lambermont said the state’s guidelines for unaccounted for water is about 20-25 percent.
The caveat here is that East Washington is planning a $1 million project to raise the level of the dam at Lake John Hay at no cost to the City of Salem – and effectively, as Mayor Troy Merry said, will dump Lake Salinda’s capacity into John Hay.
However, once that is increased, the treatment plant needs to be replaced.
The current plan is to begin the $11 million project in 2018 and be complete by 2020.
Duke Worked Through 70,000-plus outages after storm
Duke Energy had over 70,000 customers without power after Wednesday’s storms – at one peak time over 30,000 — and had them all back on by 9p Thursday.
Customers with phone service began receiving text messages on Wednesday that plans were to have customers in the Salem area back on by about noon Thursday.
However, Wednesday at 7p customers started reporting lights coming on around the area.
Bruce Calloway, Duke Energy Government and Community Relations Manager said there were two Salem substations, a substation in Pekin and Borden all out during this outage.
“That was about 7000 customers,” Calloway said Friday afternoon. “The outages started about 6a on Wednesday and we were able to return power to most customers by 9p — and we had no injuries, which is our goal.”
The damage to Duke Energy lines was primarily due to trees falling lines due to wind and lightening.
The National Weather Service reported straight line winds of up to 85 mph.
During the peak outage, we peaked at 31,000 sustained outages (those over 5 minutes).
“Since the beginning, we restored over 77,000 customers around the state,” said Calloway.
Duke had customers without power in Seymour, Corydon and Salem, Madison and Clarksville, Bedford, Columbus, Noblesville and Princeton.
“We had over 800 resources for this,” said Calloway. “Line personnel, vegetation management, assessors and contractors. When it’s that widespread, it’s a logistic puzzle to put together.”
“There’s never been a storm in my career — about 38 years — that we didn’t get the power restored. Each time our goal has been to do that safely. None of the employees or the public was injured…that’s our number one priority.”
Calloway said the damage was mainly to the two transmission lines coming into Salem.
“We have two different feeds of transmission lines coming into Salem and we sustained damage to both of those. We had no backup feed,” he said.
“Our challenges on this were due to terrain,” he said. “Much of this was in the right of way. There were half a dozen poles damaged on one of the feeds. We had to get a bulldozer in there to clear a road to get trucks in to the poles. We had to manually climb some of those poles to complete repairs.”
Calloway said Duke couldn’t get trucks to all of the downed lines. So we had to manually climb the poles and do much of the work,” he said. “They were able to get repairs made to get the lines back up and secured safely.”
Safety, he said, is the number one goal. “That’s our number one objective. We had no injuries during these repairs. We want to get the power back on quickly and safely.”
“We appreciate everyone’s patience,” Calloway said. “We’ll be making storm repairs for some time after this. We really appreciate the communities understanding.”
Duke Energy Indiana’s operations provide approximately 6,900 megawatts of owned electric capacity to approximately 790,000 customers, making it the state’s largest electric supplier.
Orange County REMC Hopes To Have All Power Back by Nightfall
When straight lines winds and tornadoes tore through Orange and Washington Counties early Wednesday morning, more than 3000 Orange County REMC customers were without power.
An estimated 264 members were still without power this morning.
The highest concentration of those outages were on the Abydel, French Lick, and Chaillaux substations. There have been 2,850 members that have had their power restored so far.
According to REMC’s Stacey Slaten, only 40 more customers are without power and she said those should be back on by the end of the day.
Those that remain out, the REMC asks for continued patience as our crews restore power. Orange County REMC will continue to work around the clock until every member is turned back on. It is estimated that the remaining outages will be restored before dark today.
Any Orange County REMC member who is out of service and has not reported their outage is encouraged to call and report the outage at 812.865.2229 or 888.337.5900. Please remember to be safe and to always treat a line that is down as energized, never approach it. Report all such situations to the REMC.
