Around 1:30 this morning emergency crews responded to a serious crash in the westbound lanes of I-70 at the 75.4 mile marker. 911 callers were reporting a pick-up truck and semi had collided and the load from the semi was spread across the interstate.

When Trooper Ty Mays arrived he found one person seriously injured lying on the hood of the pick-up truck. Another person was entrapped in the pick-up and was injured. The driver of the semi and a passenger in the semi both suffered injuries and were transported to the hospital. Trooper Mays was told the driver of the pick-up fled the scene on foot. A short time later, the person thought to be the driver, was located by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

During the investigation Troopers determined the man who fled the scene was in fact not the driver, he was a passenger in the pick-up truck. The driver, Jacob Martin, 36, of Indianapolis, was the man found lying on the hood of the truck. He was not ejected.  It was determined he got out of the truck and walked around to the passenger side where he laid on the hood. Martin was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. One passenger in the truck had to be extricated by the Wayne Township Fire Department and was also transported to the hospital with serious injuries. 

According to investigating officers the pick-up truck passed the semi in the right hand side, then started weaving all over the road from lane to lane. A collision occurred causing the semi to hit a roadside sign support which ripped the semi trailer open spilling clothing all over the roadway.

I-70 westbound was closed for several hours while Zore's Wrecker Service cleaned up the scene. An Indiana State Police Crash Reconstructionist also responded to the scene to assist with the investigation. 

Investigators believe drugs or alcohol could be a factor in this crash however no arrest has been made. Any charges will be determined by the Marion County Prosecutor's Office after reviewing the case.

16,000 teachers have swarmed the statehouse to turn up the heat for higher pay and higher school funding.

Teachers lined all four entrances to the statehouse on the ceremonial opening day of the 2020 legislative session, then rallied on the building's south lawn. Dozens of school systems across Indiana canceled classes for the day to accommodate teachers descending on the statehouse for "Go Red for Ed Day," calling for more school funding, including higher teacher pay.

The Indiana State Teachers Association argues Republican boasts of record education funding in the current budget still leave schools underfunded. ISTA president Keith Gambill says with funding for each district linked to enrollment, 60 school systems saw spending cuts in the new budget, while 96 more received increases of less than two-percent.

Governor Holcomb has asked legislators to approve 300-million dollars in one-time expenditures from a larger than expected state surplus. Teachers are calling on legislators to give schools a slice of the extra money too.

Legislators have already committed to one of the teachers' agenda items: granting a mulligan for scores on the first year of the new ILEARN test. But Gambill says test scores shouldn't be linked to teacher pay at all. And the union wants legislators to repeal a new requirement for teachers to spend an average of three hours a year working with businesses in their communities, to familiarize themselves with opportunities best suited to their students' skill sets. Gambill says there are better ways to connect business and schools, and argues the externship requirement will detract from teachers' focus on their classrooms.

A commission created by Holcomb is scheduled to offer recommendations next year on long-term ways to raise teacher pay, with an eye to putting those changes in place in the 2021 budget session. House Speaker Brian Bosma (R-Indianapolis) says he doesn't want to reopen the two-year budget in 2020, but acknowledges Holcomb's request opens the door for legislators to propose other additional spending. The difference, Bosma argues, is that Holcomb's requests wouldn't create an ongoing spending commitment for future budgets -- in fact, he says they'd actually free up money by paying off debt on projects legislators have already approved.

And while Bosma says he's glad to see teachers making their voices heard, he says they should look closer to home for an explanation of why salaries haven't risen more. Over the last decade, he says enrollment and teacher staffs have declined, while administrative jobs have grown by more than 30-percent.

Gambill accuses Bosma of trying to turn educators against each other. He says the real problem is that state funding has been inadequate.

Superintendent of Northwestern Consolidated of Shelby County Chris Hoke says Triton Central schools will remain open on Tuesday, November 19

Hoke says TC schools have been pro-active in funding teacher salaries locally.

Hoke believes teachers and those fueling the Red for Ed Day and legislators have many of the same beliefs.  How to get there, however, is a different story.

Leaders of the state’s two main teacher unions project that 10,000 or more teachers could attend the rally dubbed “Red for Ed Action Day” as members of the Republican-dominated Legislature are gathering for organizational meetings ahead of their 2020 session that starts in early January.

The Morristown Volunteer Fire Department responded Wednesday night to a house fire on High Street in Morristown.

Residents were out of the home upon arrival. The home sustained heavy damage but should be repairable.

No injuries were reported. 

Assisting agencies included the Fountaintown and Posey Township Volunteer Fire Departments and the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department. 

Southwestern Consolidated will be open for classes Tuesday, November 19, during the Red for Ed Action Day taking place in Indianapolis.  But the schools and its teachers intend to have an impact.

SWCCTA President Douglas Gaking provided this press release to GIANT fm News from the Southwestern Consolidated Classroom Teachers Association about their teachers involvement in the upcoming statewide Red For Ed Day of Action:

Southwestern Consolidated Schools will be in session on Tuesday, November 19, during the statewide Red For Ed Action Day. However, SWCS teachers are engaged in trying to create change in public education. Five of Southwestern’s teachers will attend the rally at the Statehouse on Tuesday, while the rest of the staff holds a walk-in before school in the morning.

The Red For Ed Action Day focuses on three policy priorities: investing the state budget surplus in education, holding schools and teachers harmless for current standardized tests, and repealing the state’s new professional development requirements, which demand that every teacher participate in an unpaid externship.

“The state of Indiana currently has a budget surplus of over $2 billion, plus a surplus from last year of $419 million, but we are 51st in the country in teacher pay growth,” says Douglass Gaking, president of the Southwestern Consolidated Classroom Teachers Association. “Meanwhile, the Indiana Department of Education currently lists a shortage of teachers in 13 content areas.”

“I never thought I would see the day that there was a shortage of music teachers,” says Gaking, who is Southwestern’s band and choir director, “but unfortunately we have a shortage because the state no longer pays competitive salaries for teachers. I have been involved in negotiating three teacher contracts. We are not trying to squeeze as much money as we can out of the taxpayers. We are literally trying to make sure we have a certified teacher in every classroom instead of a substitute teacher.”

Teacher pay in Indiana comes out of each school corporation’s Education Fund, which is funded by the state on a per-student basis. This limits school corporations’ ability to negotiate competitive salaries to hire and retain teachers. It also makes small schools like Southwestern subject to huge funding swings each year.

Southwestern’s teachers have invited the school board members, administrators, students, and parents to join them in front of the school at 7:30 AM on Tuesday morning to show their support for public education.

Superintendent Dr. Paula Maurer says they're ready for Tuesday.

She says she hopes that teachers can get their message out.

Shelbyville Central Schools will be closed Tuesday, November 19.

With dozens of teachers from the corporation expected to attend the Red for Ed Action Day at the Statehouse, SCS will make up the day on Monday, January 20.

The school corporation posted the following announcement on its Facebook page:

Shelbyville Central Schools (SCS) will be closing school on Tuesday, November 19th due to the State Wide Red for Ed Action Day. Many of our teachers have requested personal days to participate in the rally at the State House to support public education.

With the significant number of teachers attending, we do not have enough substitute teachers to adequately supervise and provide educational services to students. SCS will be making up this day on Monday, January 20, 2020.

SCS supports our teachers in their efforts to increase awareness of issues affecting public education. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience that may cause families. However, we hope that you, along with us, realize the importance of teachers having a voice and a presence to positively impact public education in Indiana.

Thousands of educators will be calling for the further boost in pay Tuesday. Teacher unions say at least 107 school districts with some 460,000 students — or more than 40% of statewide enrollment — are expected to be closed that day while their teachers attend the event.

Shelbyville Central Schools Superintendent Harper says teacher pay, in part, leading to teacher shortages, is a major concern for education.

Harper says the issue needs the attention of lawmakers.

The Shelbyville intersection at Moreseni and Alpine Avenue will be closed starting Thursday morning

It's scheduled to be closed for three days for street repair.

The Triton Central schools campus was under a lockdown for a portion of the school day on Monday.

The Shelby County Sheriff's Department says no charges are expected in the reported threat that led to the situation.  It's not believed to be a school threat but messages between two juveniles with problems that led to the school district taking action and calling on law enforcement to look into the issue. 

One of the students attends Triton Central, the other does not.

The school corporation sent the following message on Monday to alert people to the situation:

NWCSD is currently operating in a Lock-in profile in collaboration with local law enforcement’s investigation into an off-campus situation involving students from another school corporation.

Campus is currently closed to visitors.

We are seeking more details but this post on the Northwestern Consolidated School Corp. - Shelby County Facebook:

NWCSD is no longer in a lockdown profile and has resumed normal campus operations.

The Triton Central campus is now re-opened to visitors. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

With temperatures expected to dive and snow to fall Monday night, Hancock County will have a warming station open tonight and tomorrow. 
 

First Presbyterian Church, 116 W. South St., Greenfield, will be open Monday night, and The Landing Place, 18 W. South St., Greenfield, will be open Tuesday. 
 

The centers, which are provided by the Salvation Army and Hancock County Community

Organizations Active in Disaster, will be open from 7 pm to 8 am. 

The Triton Central schools campus is currently on a lockdown in collaboration with local law enforcement investigation into a potential threat at TCHS by an off-campus student.

The campus will be closed to visitors until further notice.

For some, the first significant snowfall of the season will start falling late tonight and stick around well in to Tuesday.

The National Weather Service in Indianapolis is predicting various amount of accumulating snow depending on where you live throughout the state.

In northern Indiana, Meteorologist Mike Ryan says you could see as much as six inches in place such as South Bend, Gary, and Fort Wayne.

Central Indiana won't see as much, around one-to-two-inches, with rain changing over to snow during rush hour.

Southern Indiana will see some snow as well, but not until closer to sunset.

The Salvation Army Indiana Division officers, staff, and local volunteers and Walmart store managers are teaming up Saturday, November 9, 2019 at Walmart locations across Indiana and the U.S. for a toy drive.

Walmart shoppers will receive a list of toys and other gifts that are most often requested by families enrolled in their local Salvation Army Christmas assistance program. They are then able to shop for these items and drop them off in specially marked boxes in front of the Walmart stores.

The goal of this event is to provide Christmas gifts for Hoosier children in need across the state. These gifts can include items like toys, bicycles, clothing, books, and games.

Walmart and The Salvation Army have collaborated for more than 30 years with a common mission: to meet needs in their local communities. Supporters like Walmart help The Salvation Army serve more than 23 million Americans each year through a range of social services to help them overcome poverty and economic hardships.

Families served by Salvation Army Christmas assistance programs like Angel Tree and Toy Shop would otherwise struggle to provide Christmas gifts for their children.

All donations made at the Walmart Toy Drive events will remain in the local community and will help The Salvation Army make Christmas morning a joyful occasion for children across Indiana.

The calendar might say early November, but it's about to feel much more like winter time.

The entire state of Indiana is about to experience cold temperatures on Thursday night and Friday morning. Temperatures that we're not used to for this time of the year, says Meteorologist Marcus Bailey.

The type of precipitation you'll see will depend on where you live -- more snow in northern Indiana, a rain/snow mix in central Indiana, and more rain in southern Indiana.

The cold air on Thursday night and Friday morning will be just the first wave of up-and-down temperatures.

Bailey says it will warm back up this weekend, with highs back to normal in the mid-to-upper 40s.  But we'll see another blast of arctic air to start next week with near-record low temperatures for Monday and Tuesday.

Jockeys may be small in stature, but they have huge hearts. They are always willing to step up and help with community-minded projects and when called upon to collect toys for a local children’s event, they stepped up in a big way to ensure area kids would have a little nicer Christmas.

“As a kid, I always wanted to have a lot of toys and sometimes I didn’t, so it’s very important to me to help make sure kids have toys for Christmas,” said Marcelino Pedroza Jr., who is the 2019 leading jockey at Indiana Grand. “My wish is for everyone to have a good Christmas and God has blessed me so I like to help out any way I can.”

A total of 54 toys were collected for the upcoming “Breakfast with Santa” held at the Shelby Parks and Recreation in Shelbyville, Ind. The annual holiday gathering for area children isn’t until Saturday, Dec. 14, but with the conclusion of the 2019 racing season at Indiana Grand nearing, the jockeys decided to give early.

Jockeys surrounded the pile of toys during the racing program Saturday, Nov. 2 for a photo before the toys were loaded up for delivery. New toys collected by the jockeys ranged from dolls, stuffed animals and My Little Pony sets to dump trucks, dinosaurs and Spiderman figures.

Included in the photo were Marcelino Pedroza Jr., DeShawn Parker, Albin Jimenez, Luan Machado, Angel Serpa, Orlando Mojica, Rodney Prescott, Eddie Perez, Fernando De La Cruz, Santo Sanjur, Ezequiel Lara, Shanley Jackson, Virginia Tormey, Kendal Sterritt and Jose Riquelme. Other jockeys participated in the drive but were not available for the photo included Natasha Fritz and Leandro Goncalves. Steve Cahill, clerk of scales, was instrumental in organizing the toy drive and was also present for the photo.

“You can’t say enough about these jockeys, they all have such generous hearts,” said Cahill, who recently was the recipient of a shaved head by the jockeys after they raised $3,100 for cancer. “No matter what we ask of them, they step up to the plate and they have such an affinity for children. Anything they can do to help out the community, they are very willing to participate.”

“Breakfast with Santa” will be catered once again by Denny’s this year. The gymnasium is completely transformed into a winter setting and includes various children’s activities. Each session includes a visit by Santa Claus. Two servings are held for the breakfast at 8:30 a.m. and again at 9:30 a.m. For more information on “Breakfast with Santa,” contact the Shelby Parks and Recreation office at (317) 392-5128.

Shelby Parks and Recreation offers numerous programs throughout the year for both children and adults. The family-oriented facility is located at the Carl McNeely Civic Center on Tompkins Street.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will hold a public hearing on Thursday, November 14, 2019, at the Greenfield Central Junior High School Cafeteria, 140 Highland Avenue, Greenfield, Indiana 46140.  The hearing will begin at 6:00 p.m.

The purpose of the public hearing is to offer all interested persons an opportunity to comment on current design plans for a State Road (SR) 9, hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay between I-70 and U.S. 52 in Hancock and Shelby counties.  The project is approximately 9.5 miles in length.  The project also proposes a section of access control specific to the area between I-70 and McKenzie Road.  The access control area would remove the center two-way left turn lane (TWLTL) in seven locations and replace it with a raised landscaped median with dedicated left turn lanes.

The project will also include the construction of supplemental storm-water infrastructures such as inlets, connections, and manholes where ponding currently occur generally between 4^th Street to Park Avenue and Ohio Street to Illinois Street.  Standard compliant curb ramps will be reconstructed where appropriate, per the requirement of Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). Drainage improvements will be made in the areas of the southwest quadrant of S.R. 9 at an unnamed tributary to Brandywine Creek and at C.R. 100 South/Davis Road.  Additional details at about the project will be presented at the public hearing.  All work will occur within existing INDOT right of way. The maintenance of traffic (MOT) for the project will be closed for through traffic and will use the official state maintained routes of U.S. 52, I-465, U.S. 40, and S.R. 109, however one lane will remain open for local traffic.

The MOT for the project will utilize signage, flagging operations, and will be mobile and moving continuously with construction operations. Access to all properties will be maintained during construction. INDOT will coordinate with emergency services and local school corporation officials to ensure potential disruptions and impacts are minimized as much as possible.

Federal and State funds are proposed to be used for construction of this project. The environmental document is available to view prior to the public hearing at the following locations:
