Medora Goes Pink For 7th Cancer Benefit
The event will raise funds to purchase gas cards and groceries and provide help in other ways for those who are battling the deadly disease.
To date, the group has raised more than $40,000 to battle cancer.
Visit vendors, enjoy great treats, live entertainment and fun for the whole family while supporting cancer awareness, research and support.
“This year will we going to have a CROSS for a CAUSE Relay,” says organizer Debra Wayman. “I hope many will participate. The cross represents the love that was shown to us and His suffering; we know that those with cancer and their families suffer and we want them to see when they look to the cross, decorated with white and pink lights, that Medora and others care and show their love and we hope they see our light.”
Those wanting to participate need to meet at Medora covered bridge at 3 p.m.
The cross made by Wayman’s father 30 years ago was used for a church play.
“It will be carried over head and passed to each group that is gathered at the street intersections,” she added. When the cross reaches the stage, it will be lighted and remain lit for one month; to remind all those of the love that was shown to us and we in return want all those who view the cross to know that there are many who have supported the HOPE Medora Goes Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Event, and offered Love, Prayers and monetary support to the many people and families who are affected by all types of cancer, I hope there will be large crowd to gather at the stage at 4 p.m. to hear the band Scarlet 2 White.”

St. Paul Man, 28, Killed in Head On Collision
Today, at approximately 11:30 a.m., the Indiana State Police responded to a two vehicle head on collision on Old US 421 (Michigan Road) south of County Road 520 West in Decatur County that resulted in the death of a St. Paul man.
The initial investigation by Trooper Matt Holley indicated that a maroon 2005 Ford Explorer, being driven by Melissa R. Kilian, age 41, Shelbyville, Indiana, was traveling southbound on Old US 421 near St. Paul, Indiana.
Kilian’s vehicle collided head on with a silver 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, being driven by Bruce W. Parish, age 28, St. Paul, Indiana.
As a result of the collision, Parish sustained fatal injuries in the crash. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Decatur County Coroner’s Office. Kilian suffered possible life threatening injuries in the crash.
She was transported by medical helicopter to an Indianapolis hospital for treatment of her injuries.
At this time, the investigation is ongoing to determine which vehicle crossed the centerline. It is unknown if drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.
Both families have been notified.
Old US 421 was closed for approximately two hours for crash investigation and cleanup.

Local Lawmakers Respond To School Funding Issue
School Funding in our Community
By State Sen. Erin Houchin (R-Salem) and State Rep. Steve Davisson (R-Salem)
Recently, a front-page story ran about a meeting hosted by Salem Community Schools inviting the Indiana State Teachers Association to explain school funding and teacher salaries. Presenters claimed that “change needs to happen at the state level” regarding school funding, and that lawmakers “just don’t care” about Indiana’s school system or teachers.
As lawmakers representing these schools at the Statehouse, we were not invited to join the discussion to provide information regarding school funding from the state.
Even more importantly, one of us currently has three children in the Salem Community School system, and the other has two grandchildren in the school system and family who work for the school system. We can assure you, as lawmakers and as involved community members, we do care.
We want to take this opportunity to provide some facts about school funding and how our school system compares to other local school districts.
With more than 50 percent of the state’s general fund dedicated to schools, K-12 education is Indiana’s biggest funding priority. In fact, Indiana is second in the nation for the percentage of our budget devoted to education, according to the Census Bureau.
During discussions on Indiana’s last two-year budget, we both voted to increase K-12 funding by $474 million statewide. We also supported $70 million in teacher performance grants to increase pay for Indiana teachers.
The article also reports that presenters claimed the school funding formula is not fair because schools that have an increase in enrollment are receiving more funding.
Indiana’s school funding formula is based on student enrollment for each school. State dollars follow the student to the school they attend. The fairest way to allocate education dollars is to provide schools money based on the number of students they educate.
During the meeting, the funding Salem Community Schools receives was compared to the funding Seymour Community Schools receives. Seymour schools have double the enrollment of Salem schools, so they receive more money under Indiana’s school funding formula. But a comparison of per-student funding paints a clearer picture.
During the 2014-15 school year, Salem received $6,895 per student from the state. Seymour actually received $70 less per student from the state than Salem. The major difference in overall funding comes from the local funding schools receive. Salem schools receive $2,947 per student in local funding, whereas Seymour schools receive $3,965 per student in local funding. The state does not control the funding from local taxes that go to schools.
We want to hear from parents, teachers and community members about this important issue, and we want to make sure that everyone has correct information.
We understand the importance of K-12 education and the critical role it plays in building our state’s future workforce. As lawmakers preparing for the next legislative session, we will continue to advocate for our schools and teachers.
If you have any questions, please contact us by email or phone.
Sen. Houchin can be contacted atSenator.Houchin@iga.in.gov or 800-382-9467.
Rep. Davisson can be contacted at H73@iga.in.gov or800-382-9841.
ISP Investigating Voter Fraud in Multiple Counties
The investigation that began in late August of 2016 alleging the filing of fraudulent voter application information has expanded from the original involved counties of Hendricks and Marion to also include the counties of Allen, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake and Madison.
As part of the expanded investigation, state police detectives obtained a search warrant for the business offices of the Indiana Voter Registration Project, located at 2425 North Meridian Street, Suite A, in downtown Indianapolis.
It is not clear if this organization is partisan or bi-partisan.
The search warrant was served mid-morning of Tuesday, October 4th.
The affidavit and search warrant are sealed for a period of 30 days from the time the warrant was granted, which was October 3, 2016.
An investigation of this nature is complex, time consuming and is expected to continue for several more weeks or months.
Important points related to this ongoing investigation include:
- In accordance with state law, all voter registration applications received by Indiana voter registration offices are processed according to established policies
- A representative sample of voter registration applications received by county voter registration offices suspected of being fraudulent have been COPIED and provided to state police detectives. In all cases the ORIGINAL applications are maintained by the appropriate voter registration office
- The expanded number of counties involved leads investigators to believe the total of potentially fraudulent records may be in the hundreds, thus creating a potential to disenfranchise many voters
- The possible fraudulent or false information is a combination of made up names and made up addresses, real names with made up or incorrect addresses and false dates of births with real names as well as combinations of all these examples.
Victims of the activities by some agents of the Indiana Voter Registration Project may not discover they have been disenfranchised from voting until they go to vote and realize their voting information has been altered.
Such action may result in the citizen having to cast a provisional ballot.
There are simple steps people can take now, before the election, to protect their right to vote by ensuring they are properly registered. Visit this site and follow the directions to confirm you are properly registered: https://indianavoters.in.gov
If after checking this source, a citizen discovers inaccurate information that indicates they could be a victim, they should contact their local voter registration office and the 24 hour Indiana State Police Voter Registration Application Fraud tip line of 888-603-3147.
The investigation continues and no further information is available at this time.
Watch for Deer on Indiana’s Roadways – Tips for avoiding deer-vehicle crashes
The Indiana Department of Transportation, the Indiana State Police and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources remind drivers to stay alert as deer become more active in fall months on Indiana’s roadways.
Nearly 50 percent of all vehicle crashes involving deer occur between October and December. Deer are generally more active during mating season in late October into early November. And with many farmers harvesting crops, deer could be on the move at any time, encountering roads more frequently and increasing the potential for collisions.
Across the state in 2015, there were more than 15,000 deer-related collisions, including vehicles crashing attempting to avoid striking a deer.
With the increased number of deer heading toward the roadways, deer-vehicle crashes will happen, but drivers can take measures to keep collisions to a minimum. Knowing when deer are most active and practicing defensive driving will help reduce your chances of becoming a statistic:
- Deer are most active between sunset and sunrise, especially in rural areas.
- Deer often travel in groups. If you see one, others are likely nearby. Stay alert!
- Pay special attention in areas where you have seen deer before and in areas near “Deer Crossing” warning signs.
- Exercise caution along woodlot edges, at hills and blind turns.
- Use high-beam headlights at night when there is no opposing traffic.
- Scan for illuminated eyes and dark silhouettes near the side of or on the roadway.
- If you see a deer, slow your speed drastically, even if the deer is far away.
- NEVER swerve to avoid hitting a deer. More serious crashes occur when drivers try to miss a deer but hit something else.
- Buckle up!
Studies have shown that novelties like deer whistles are ineffective in deterring deer. The best way to avoid an accident is to be alert.
Even when practicing safe driving, sometimes hitting a deer is inevitable. If a driver hits a deer, it is important to remain calm and do not touch the deer or approach it. Wounded deer are unpredictable and can be dangerous. Drivers should pull off the road, remain in the vehicle and make sure everyone is safe. Motorists involved in a collision are required to call the police and report a crash with at least $1,000 in property damage or if someone is injured.
To report a deer carcass on an interstate, U.S. highway or state road, contact one of INDOT’s six districts to report it. Find INDOT district contact information at http://indot.in.gov.
