The Yellow Trail Museum in Hope will be resuming its Sunday Social history discussions this weekend.

Although normally a themed discussion, this month’s session will be a time to share general memories of the history of northeastern Bartholomew County. You are encouraged to bring photos and other historic artifacts to the discussion.

Light refreshments will be served.

The Sunday Social will be from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday at the museum on the northwestern corner of the Hope Town Square. For more information, call 812-343-3798.

Legal Aid will be holding a free Legal Aid Clinic by phone for residents of the agency’s eight-county district on Tuesday. That district includes Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, Rush, and Shelby Counties.

The Legal Aid Clinic uses local volunteer attorneys, to offer free legal consultations to low-income individuals. You can expect to receive a brief consultation over the phone to answer general questions, to offer legal information, or to receive other assistance or advice.

Although the clinic will be from 3 to 5:30 p.m., you must first register between noon and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

You can register by calling Legal Aid at 812-378-0358.

Indiana State Police are reporting that police dog Barrett has retired from his patrol duties. He and Senior Trooper Matthew Wilson have patrolled together since 2012 in central Indiana, mostly as part of a drug interdiction team.

Barrett was named after Trooper Daniel Barrett who was killed in the line of duty January 27, 2008.

Troopers say that Wilson and Barrett are responsible for seizing significant amounts of narcotics and capturing violent criminals. Barrett has seized more than a ton of marijuana, 487 pounds of meth, 280 pounds of cocaine, 146 pounds of heroin and more than $1.2 million dollars in cash.

Barrett will now spend his retirement with the Wilson Family.

You will see traffic switches on U.S. 50 in Seymour on Friday according to INDOT.

On or after Friday, all traffic will be moved to the westbound side of U.S. 50 between Agrico Lane and Sandy Creek Drive. Crews will then begin work on the eastbound side of the roadway. This will mean traffic will all be on the westbound lanes from Dupont Drive to U.S. 31, with two travel lanes in each direction and turn lanes available at Myers Street. This configuration will remain in place through late fall or early winter.

Access will still be available for residences and businesses located on the south side of U.S. 50.

You will also see temporary signals and temporary ramps continuing to remain in place in Interstate 65 at U.S. 50 during this phase of construction.

This is all part of the $15 million dollar pavement reconstruction project along U.S. 50 in Jackson County.
