AG Curtis Hill hosts crime prevention forum in Vigo County

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today hosted a crime prevention forum in Terre Haute as part of a listening tour that involves visiting 14 cities across the state of Indiana. The purpose of the tour is to facilitate conversations aimed at developing solutions to residents’ crime-related concerns. Terre Haute is the fourth stop on the listening tour with the next two stops planned to take place in Merrillville and Lafayette on September 10, 2019.

“It’s been extremely helpful touring the state to hear about the issues on the minds of residents in each community,” Attorney General Hill said. “Using information gathered at these events, we will keep working to make a positive difference in the lives of Hoosiers across Indiana.”

The Office of the Attorney General has collected and will continue to collect feedback at each forum and present its findings at the office’s 10th Annual Drug Abuse Symposium on Oct. 29-30, 2019. For more information about the 10th Annual Drug Abuse Symposium and to register, click the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/10th-annual-drug-abuse-symposium-tickets-47595282772.

Drive Safely, Plan Ahead for Labor Day Weekend Travel

Road work moratorium for the holiday weekend beginning Friday afternoon

INDIANA — The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a road work moratorium for the Labor Day weekend beginning Friday afternoon, Aug. 30, through the morning hours of Tuesday, Sept. 2.

As Labor Day holiday weekend is typically one of the busiest times for travel on Indiana’s highways, wherever possible, road restrictions will be removed to ease traffic flow for holiday drivers.

Some closures and restrictions will remain on larger projects that cannot safely reopen to traffic. Here’s where you will see restrictions remaining over the holiday weekend:

Northern Indiana

  • I-69 in Grant County, between mile 262 and 269, is restricted to one northbound lane.
  • I-69 in Allen County, between mile 308-310, has the right lane closed, leaving two lanes in each direction.
  • I-69, in Steuben County, between mile 333-335 is reduced to one lane in each direction over Pigeon Creek.
  • I-69 in Steuben County, at exit 350, is reduced to one northbound lane.
  • The ramp connecting southbound Kennedy Avenue to eastbound I-94 in Lake County is closed.
  • The ramp connecting westbound I-94 to northbound I-65 in Lake County is closed.
  • The ramp connecting U.S. 12/20 to southbound I-65 in Lake County is closed.
  • I-65 in Lake County, between U.S. 30 and U.S. 231, is reduced to two lanes in each direction with the left lane closed.

Central Indiana

  • I-74 in Montgomery County is restricted to one lane in each direction between mile 32-39 in the westbound lanes.

Southern Indiana

  • I-65, in Jackson/Bartholomew counties, has lane restrictions in both directions between Seymour and Columbus.
  • S.R. 37 in Martinsville (Morgan County) is reduced to one lane in each direction.
  • I-74 in Ripley/Dearborn counties is restricted in both directions between S.R. 101 and the Ohio State line.
  • S.R. 45/46 at I-69 interchange in Bloomington has a traffic switch with crossover.
  • S.R. 256 in Scott County is closed between S.R. 203 and Austin.
  • S.R. 7 in Jennings County is closed between the Jennings/Jefferson County line and Vernon.
  • S.R. 62/Lloyd Expressway will have two lanes open in each direction in Evansville.

Drive Safely

INDOT reminds Hoosiers to travel safely and plan for more driving time during the busy weekend.

  • Pay attention: Don’t text or talk on the phone and avoid taking your hands off the wheel. Driver inattention is a leading cause of all highway crashes.
  • Slow down: Be aware of the speed limits and abide by them – no one wants to ruin a great holiday weekend with a speeding ticket.
  • Leave early and plan ahead: Expect delays and allow extra travel time on one of the busiest holidays of the year.

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over

sober

Through Labor Day, Sept. 2, the Indiana State Police and hundreds of local law-enforcement agencies across Indiana will be arresting impaired drivers by aggressively targeting those who put lives in danger. Expect to see increased sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and saturation patrols. Overtime police patrols are supported with federal highway safety funds as part of the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement blitz.

ADOPT A PET

Bonded pair of rabbits! Rabbert is a Flemish Giant mix, and Fatina is an American/Chinchilla mix. They are bonded and must go home together, so the adoption fee is $100 for both. (Neutered/spayed and microchipped.) Rabbert in particular is a big dude, so they’ll need ample space to hop around & play in their new indoor home. And their nighttime cage will need to be substantial size. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 or visit www.vhslifesaver.org to adopt!

USI Archives To Help Preserve Piece Of Evansville History

0

The University of Southern Indiana, through its University Archives and Special Collections, has partnered with the Vanderburgh County Commissioners, Veterans Council of Vanderburgh County, and the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War to preserve historical materials currently housed in the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Room of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Coliseum in downtown Evansville.

The Coliseum, a 66,000 square foot neoclassical structure, was built in 1917 as a tribute to Vanderburgh County’s veterans of both the American Civil and Spanish-American wars.

The materials housed in the GAR Room include membership records, minutes from general and board meetings, organizational charters and monographs concerning the Civil War. Jennifer Greene, University archivist, and Tom Lonnberg ’84, curator of history for the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science, visited the Coliseum and inspected the materials in late June alongside representatives from the County and the Veterans Council.

“I am so excited to work with community partners and to be able to help preserve part of Evansville’s rich history,” said Greene. “The University Archives and Special Collections has worked hard to build a regional repository to preserve and disseminate local history such as these materials.”

USI will perform basic preservation and conservation techniques on the materials in order to protect and restore them. Once complete, select materials will be scanned for online display. Copies of all digital materials will be given to the County and to the Veterans Council.

Local veteran honor society chapter’s collection finds new home in Rice Library

Also, in June, the University accepted a collection of documents and materials from another military group headquartered at the Coliseum. The 40 & 8 Voiture #471 is the local chapter of a military honor society of American veterans and service members, open by invitation to honorably discharged veterans. The group was named for the trains that carried the troops to the front lines during World War I. Each train car was marked 40&8, meaning either 40 men or eight horses. The group is still active today, but wanted a safe place to preserve their unique history.

Housed on the third floor of the David L. Rice Library, University Archives and Special Collections is committed to acquiring and preserving material about the development and the operations of the University and regional history, focusing on the southwestern region of Indiana. The department is dedicated to preservation and organization of materials for the purpose of research and includes 600 regional collections, over 700 audio/video tapes, and 43,000 images and documents online.
