WAVELAND The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a public information meeting will be held Thursday for the proposed State Road 59 pavement rehabilitation and bridge replacement project. This project on S.R. 59 extends from C.R. 1150S to State Road 47 in Waveland.

The meeting will be held at the Waveland Community Center, 108 Howard St. Doors will open at 5 p.m. with the presentation to begin at 5:30 p.m.

The project proposes milling, resurfacing and widening S.R. 59 from the beginning of the project to the Main Street and Cross Street intersection, and from north of the bridge over Little Raccoon Creek to S.R. 47.

On S.R. 59 (Main Street), the pavement will be widened approximately two feet to allow for the installation of a storm sewer system with adequate curb offset. The pavement on S.R. 59 will be widened approximately eight feet in areas where there is existing gravel for on-street parking. The existing 11-foot wide travel lanes, on-street parking, and curb and gutter on S.R. 59 (Cross Street) from the intersection of Main Street and Cross Street to the bridge over Little Raccoon Creek will be replaced. The curbs and storm sewer system will be replaced within the downtown area and added to the roadway between the downtown area and the bridge.

Existing sidewalks, from approximately one half of one mile west of the Main Street and Cross Street intersection to the Main Street and Cross Street and from the Cross St and Green Street intersection to just south of the bridge replacement, will be reconstructed to be ADA compliant.

The project will replace the S.R. 59 Bridge over Little Raccoon Creek.

This public information meeting is opportunity for INDOT to meet with members of the community regarding the road work, solicit input and address concerns the community may have regarding the proposed project.

Public information meeting planned for S.R. 59 project in Waveland - Journal Review

Potential Tropical Cyclone #3 is more of an open trough than a closed low. There is a low-level center, but it is totally exposed.

The system is running out of time to be classified as a tropical storm. Whether it is named or not, the impacts will be about the same. There are tropical-storm-force winds east of the center. Those will be coming ashore in the Tropical Storm Warning area from Morgan City to near Sandestin.

Moderate to heavy rain is overspreading southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, Southwest Alabama, and Northwest Florida.

Tides are running 3-4 feet above normal on the western Mississippi coast at Waveland. At Shell Beach, LA, the tide is nearly 4 feet above normal.

Winds are gusting to 26 mph at Gulf Shores and 30 mph at NAS Pensacola. At Boothville LA, it is gusting to 24 mph.

Waterspouts are possible over the next hour or so in the waters off St, Bernard Parish. There is a continuing tornado threat later tonight and tomorrow north and northeast of the system as it lifts north and northeast, but that threat may be less than earlier expected.

Heavy rain will spread across South and South-Central Alabama later tonight and Saturday. Flooding is possible and flash flood watches are in effect.

PTC#3 Running out of Time and Water - alabamawx.com

An outer feeder band from our potential tropical cyclone is moving across Central Alabama right now. It is approaching Rockford, Dadeville, and Auburn. The western end over Bibb and Chilton Counties fizzled out. The storms will produce quick downpours. They also are producing lightning and gusty winds.

An outflow boundary is moving through Shelby County.

Potential Tropical Cyclone #3 remains disorganized. It continues to have a difficult time because its low-level center is exposed from the widespread convection.

The third Air Force recon flight is making its way through the storm for the first time right now.

It is running out of time to be classified as a tropical storm. The system will be on land within the next several hours if it isnt already.

But classified or not, it is going to produce heavy over a wide area. Heavy rain is already covering the coast from Fort Walton Beach westward across the Alabama and Mississippi Coasts into southeastern Louisiana around Houma and New Orleans.

The plane is finding some tropical storm force winds offshore in the northern and northeasterly sides of the system. The peak wind on the run around the northeastern side of the system turned up one 45 knot flight level wind, which translates to about 45 mph at the surface. These winds will be coming onshore along the Mississippi, Alabama, and Northwest Florida coasts this evening.

There will be issues with storm surge. The surge at Waveland, MS is currently around 3 feet above normal. This is where the water sort of funnels together there between Southeast Lousiana and the western Mississippi coast. At SHell Beach, LA the tide is climbing, already nearing 3 feet above normal. Tides are running 1-1.5 feet above normal on the Alabama and Northwest Florida coasts.

Rip currents will be a big problem as well all along the Gulf Coast. Please stay out oft eh water if you are vacationing on the Alabama and Northwest Florida coasts.

So far, the tornado threat has not been an issue, although it may come more into play later tonight and especially tomorrow. It may not be as big of a threat since the system is not very organized. We will have to wait and see.

We will have a new advisory here in about 30 minutes. Be back with that.

A Look at our Weather and PTC#3 at 6:20 p.m. - alabamawx.com

CHICAGO -- Manager Terry Francona saw no connection between MLBs ban on grip enhancers and the injuries to front-line starters Aaron Civale and Shane Bieber.

Civale left Tuesdays 4-0 win over the Cubs with two out in the fifth with a sore middle finger. He still leads the big leagues in wins and innings pitched, but he is headed for the injured list after he visits hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham in Dayton on Wednesday.

Biebers last start was on June 13 against Seattle. He left after 5 2/3 innings because of a sore right shoulder.

No, and again Im not going to talk about every single pitcher, but Civale was doing nothing different last night than hes done all year, said Francona. Just because (theres a ban) doesnt mean every pitcher does it.

Umpires started checking pitchers for substances on Monday. Civale was checked twice after innings. Each reliever on the Indians and Cubs was checked at the end of their particular inning. James Karinchak, who pitched the ninth for the Indians, was checked before the inning started.

The Indians relievers had fun with it.

I was laughing, said Nick Wittgren, who pitched out of a jam in the seventh. I kind of made a joke, first time I was gonna come off, drop my hat, glove, take off my jersey, turn it around. But no, umpires, theyre just doing their job as well, just like us. Were doing what were told and theyre doing what theyre told. You have to look at it from both ways.

Crew chief Hunter Wendlestedt met with Francona and Cubs manager David Ross before Mondays game to tell them how the process was going to work.

I thought he did a really good job of explaining it, and what they were gonna do and how they were going to do it, said Francona. That puts you at ease a little bit. I thought they handled themselves extremely well.

Theyre not looking to throw people out of a game. And he made that abundantly clear. They have a job to do and we have a job to do and hopefully everybody does it the way youre supposed to, you wont see any fireworks.

No. 1: Fix it yourself

Team executives Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff are exploring possible ways to find help for the rotation, but a lot of other teams are looking for the same thing.

Unless something unexpected happens, Francona, pitching coach Carl Willis and the rest of the organizations pitching gurus know theyre going to have to lean on their internal arms to try and get through this.

The rotation headed into the four-game series against the Twins that starts Thursday night will be J.C. Mejia, Cal Quantrill, Sam Hentges and Eli Morgan, who started Tuesday night against the Cubs. Quantrill is the only one who was on the roster on opening day.

No. 2: There are no words

Francona talked to the Indians after Bieber was placed on the injured list. There have been no meetings in the wake of Civales injury because the message would be the same.

Im actually pleased with how theyre doing, said Francona. Theyre fighting. They know. I dont want to scare them. As long as they believe, Im certainly going to believe. We have to do this together. We know its challenging. The last time I told them, I know the way it wont work.

No. 3: June boom

An improved offense has been one of the ways the Indians have continued to win while losing one starting pitcher after another. They went into Tuesdays game averaging 5.65 runs a game in June compared to 3.96 in April and 3.93 in May. Theyre hitting .258 in June compared to .206 in April and .226 in May.

The reason for the surge? Bobby Bradley is hitting .283 (13-for-46), Harold Ramirez .320 (16-for-50), Jose Ramirez .300 (18-for-60), Eddie Rosario .313 (21-for-67) and Amed Rosario .324 (23-for-71) in June.

No.4: Finally

Injured catchers Austin Hedges and Roberto Perez played catch in front of the dugout before Tuesday nights game. Perez (right ring finger) will start his rehab assignment Wednesday at Columbus. Hedges is in concussion protocol. ... Bieber (right shoulder) worked out in the outfield. Hes still not ready to throw. ... Josh Naylor and Bradley put on a power display that had the fans in the outfield seats at Wrigley cheering. Bradley hit the scoreboard in right field, while Naylor hit one onto Waveland Avenue over the seats in right center. ... Eddie Rosario took a nine-game hitting streak into Tuesdays game. Rosario has raised his average from .203 to .254 over the last 28 games. Hes hit .324 (34-for-105) in that stretch.

Cindy Ball Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information - Legacy.com

NEW ORLEANS The 2020 hurricane season was the most active season ever.

Every piece of real estate along the immediate coastline was under some type of tropical storm, hurricane, or storm surge watch or warning during the hurricane season, says Michael Brennan from the National Hurricane Centers Hurricane Specialist Unit.

In all, 30 named storms formed, a new season high. It topped 2005, the year of Hurricane Katrina, when there were 28 storms.

Eleven storms made landfall last year another record. The previous record was set in 1916 with nine storms coming on land. Louisiana got four of those landfalls, which tied a record for the most for any single state in one season.

Forecasters initially thought that Hurricane Marco made landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River, which would have been a new record. But, the final report says Marco stayed just off the coast and never actually made a landfall.

Hurricane Lauras 150 mph winds tied a storm in 1856 for the strongest to hit Louisiana directly. Hurricane Camille (1969), a Category 5 hurricane, was stronger, but made landfall near Waveland, Mississippi.

Hurricane Delta was strongest to directly hit New Orleans.

Other firsts in the season: two major hurricanes registered in November Eta and Iota. That had never happened. And, Iota reached Category 5 intensity on November 16th, the latest for any Category 5 storm.

The other first-of-its-kind last year: dealing with all these storms during another crisis the pandemic. It put everyone in the path of a storm in a difficult position, including the forecasters.

A pandemic tells you to stay home. And a hurricane forces you to evacuate, says Jamie Rhome of the NHC Storm Surge Unit. So, how do you deconflict that information and convey your message in a way that people can understand? We were struggling all season long. It was a psychologically difficult lift for every single one of our forecasters.

The American Legion Booth DeVries Post 0275 of Prairie City would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to anyone and everybody who had any part in making the Memorial Day observance the huge success it was. This includes anything from putting up and/or taking down the flags, large pole flags and individual grave marker flags, organizing the program, being a participant in the program, use of equipment during the program, as well as all individuals who attended the Memorial Day observance. Without volunteers and people of the community, (we had both) who realize what Memorial Day is all about, this day could very easily become just another holiday to be spent camping, fishing, catching up on lost sleep and other reasons (excuses) for not honoring and respecting Memorial Day as it should be. Lets not let this happen in our community.

Thank you again to all who participated in any way in the Memorial Day observance.

We, the Prairie City American Legion have and do take pride in having a grave marker flag holder for every Veteran interred in Waveland Cemetery. However, there are many reasons why a burial site could be missed when putting out the grave markers. If you know of or see a gravesite of a deceased Veteran who does not have a grave marker flag holder, please contact us at American Legion, Box #42, Prairie City.

The American Legion Booth DeVries Post 0275 of Prairie City would also like to encourage any Veteran, family of Veteran, friend of Veteran or anyone who would like to see a Veterans name engraved in a brick in the Veterans Memorial in the City Park, to contact the Prairie City Lions Club, P. O. Box #76, Prairie City or the Prairie City City Hall for a Veterans Memorial Brick Order Form.

The Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County will have its annual Roll and Stroll on Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. at the shelter, 1104 Big Four Arch Road. It will be the second year the fundraiser has been held at the shelter. In previous years, the event was hosted at various venues.

This is the first year the event will feature a motorcycle ride as part of the fundraising efforts. Participants will leave the shelter at noon and ride to Raccoon Lake State Recreation area and then return to the shelter. The ride will include two stops, the first at Thirty Six Saloon, a bar and restaurant, and the Waveland Pub on the return trip.

The event also will include food and craft vendors, an animal rescue group called Hedgehog Hannah and an exotic animal show. They are going to bring some different animals for the kids to be able to touch and learn about.

This (the event) is just a great way for the community to come together and show their support for the shelter, said Misha Anderson, AWL director.

Organizers are looking forward to holding the event this year because they were not able to have it last year due to the pandemic. They hope to raise between $8,000 to $10,000 through T-shirts sales and collecting donations during the event.

Proceeds from the event will help the AWL with the daily expenses, such as vet care, food and medication.

Each one of our fundraisers is a huge deal for us, Anderson said. We rely heavily on the support of our community.

The local animal shelter takes in domesticated pets surrendered by their owners as well as stray animals. They will medically treat the animals with vaccinations and spay and neuter them. After the procedure, the animals are ready for adoption.

People can meet the animals to see if they would be a good fit for their families. After their application is approved, they pay an adoption fee and add them to their families. Adoption fees are $125 for dogs and $35 for cats.

For more information about the event or AWL services, call the shelter at 765-362-8846, vist online at https://mcawl.com or connect with them via Facebook.

'Roll and Stroll' to benefit AWL - Journal Review

The two-run blast hit by Javier Baez in the seventh inning on Wednesday left the bat at 111.4 mph and 20 degrees.

CHICAGO Scorching a lined shot out to left field, Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez provided the North Siders with a 6-1 lead atop the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The 384-footer landed in the left field bleachers and bounced out of Wrigley Field and onto Waveland Avenue.

Reliever Miguel Diaz gave up the blast, Baez's 14th of the season, on an 85.6-mph changeup. The lined shot put the Cubs up 6-1 in the bottom of the seventh and came after a chopper off the bat of center fielder Ian Happ was misplayed, thus plating second baseman Sergio Alcantara, who led off the bottom of the seventh with a triple. Happ scored as a result of the homer by Baez, who now has 38 RBIs.

Waveland is a town in Brown Township, Montgomery County, Indiana, United States. The population was 420 at the 2010 census.Waveland was platted by John Milligan in 1835. The settlement began as a resting place at a good spring between Terre Haute and Lafayette, Indiana. After a trading post and post office were established, Milligan developed the surrounding property. By 1850, the town had three general stores, three churches, two inns, two wagon shops and a blacksmith. Waveland was the boyhood home of American Impressionist T. C. Steele. His parents, Samuel and Harriett, moved to the thriving settlement when Steele was five years old, around 1852. Steele's father rented a saddle shop from John Milligan. Young Steele was enrolled in the outstanding Waveland Academy. The Presbyterian Church had recognized the need for higher learning in this community and provided a new brick building for the education of children. Steele family records show that, until 1870, they owned the cottage at 110 Cross Street in Waveland, built on one of Milligan's lots.Waveland is located at 395242N 87235W / 39.87833N 87.04306W / 39.87833; -87.04306 (39.878330, -87.042937).
