Applications are now open for students interested in participating in the Indiana House Page Program, according to State Rep. Steve Davisson (R-Salem).

They also observe the legislative session directly from the floor of the House, listening to debates on important policy issues.

“The House Page Program gives students a hands-on learning experience in how state government works. Students help legislators and staff with duties and get to sit in on session for the day,” Davisson said.

“I strongly encourage students in our community to apply and take part in this unique opportunity.”

Pages are also assigned age-appropriate tasks like delivering important messages and sorting files.

To be a page, applicants should be between the ages of 13 and 18, which is typically grades 6-12. Davisson said student pages receive an excused absence from school.

Davisson also said the 2017 session begins on Jan. 4, and page positions fill quickly. To apply, visit www.indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram or call 800-382-9841.

Tuesday morning, at approximately 10:00 am, the Indiana State Police, Seymour Police Department, and Jackson County Sheriff’s Department responded to a head on collision on State Road 258, just west of Seymour which resulted in a Seymour woman being flown to an Indianapolis Hospital with serious injuries.


According to the initial investigation by Sgt. Stephen Wheeles, a 2012 Freightliner hauling a box trailer, being driven by Richard A. Santel, age 46, Carlyle, IL was traveling eastbound on State Road 258 approaching Bell Ford Drive when the vehicle crossed the centerline for an unknown reason.

Santel’s vehicle, which was owned by Rose Acre Farms, struck a westbound 2012 Chevrolet Equinox being driven by Nancy S. Wilson, age 75, Seymour, Indiana.

After the collision, both vehicles left the roadway before coming to a stop. The Seymour Fire Department and Jackson County EMS responded to the scene and extricated Wilson from her vehicle.

Her condition is unknown at this time. Santel was not injured in the crash.

As required by law, Santel submitted to a drug and alcohol screen at a nearby medical facility. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be factors in this collision.

Five Cavers Still in Harrison County Cave; Two Have Been Removed

0

The remaining five overdue cavers were extricated at approximately 3:00 a.m., and were treated for hypothermia and exposure. 
 
Rescuers have located all seven of the initial group of overdue cavers.  Two of the seven were escorted from the cave and treated for hypothermia and exposure. 


 
The remaining five are currently being assisted from the cave by additional rescue personnel, and are still several hours from the cave entrance. 
 
Indiana Conservation Officers, along with National Cave Rescue Commission (NCRC) trained personnel are actively coordinating a search and rescue of 7 overdue cavers in Binkley’s Cave near Corydon. 
 
A group of seven experienced cavers were conducting a survey of the cave and failed to exit the cave early Sunday morning as expected.  The group was expected to exit after a 15 hour trip.  High water levels in the cave have hampered search efforts in the area of the cave where the group was to be surveying. 
 
Assisting agencies include Harrison County Emergency Management, Harrison County EMS, Harrison Township Fire Department, and American Red Cross.  National Cave Rescue Commission (NCRC) trained personnel, National Speleological Society, (NSS), and other volunteer cavers and grotto members are participating in the recovery effort.
