An unprecedented number of citations for distracting driving were made in a week-long multi-agency enforcement campaign called the ‘6 State Trooper Project’. The Indiana State Police joined forces with Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and the Kentucky State Police on major interstates from June 16-22, in an ongoing effort to combat distracted driving. Nearly 2,000 citations for distracted driving were issued among the six states. Distracted driving citations include texting, cell phone, reckless and careless driving.

Former Charlestown Pirate Quarterback Aaron Daniel far from disappointed the 50 or so loud and proud hometown fans who made Friday’s (July 19) journey to Indianapolis’ North Central High School. Truth be told, he made another couple thousand fans, who were in attendance supporting their favorite Indiana Football All-Stars. Daniel has always had a knack for and getting done what needed to be on the football field; and during Friday’s North-South All-Star Classic, there were no exceptions. Daniel alternated games series’ as quarterback with Drake Christen, the current Indiana Mr. Football from State Champion Lawrence Central. Daniel came ready to play no matter who he was trading time with; as on his first series of the game he connected with Alex Parrett (Cardinal Ritter HS/Wabash College) for a 38 yard touchdown pass to put the South All-Stars on the scoreboard.
