Capsule Reports

Public invited

Indiana legislators have invited the public attend a series of public meetings in August to provide feedback on the state’s redistricting process.

Redistricting for the U.S. House of Representatives, Indiana Senate and Indiana House of Representatives is required every 10 years. Legislators are expected to return to the statehouse in September to redraw the districts.

The meetings that are closest to Jay County are scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 6 at the Ivy Tech campus in Anderson, 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 7 at the Ivy Tech campus in Fort Wayne and 1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 11 at the statehouse.

“We look forward to hosting these important meetings across the state to hear directly from the public on Indiana's redistricting process,” said State Rep. Tim Wesco (R-Osceola), who will chair redistricting meetings in the northern part of the state.

An Auburn man’s vehicle struck another while he changed lanes on Meridian Street about 5:18 p.m. Thursday.

John E. Kenens, 63, later told Portland Police Department he was driving a 2017 Nissan Titan south and attempting to change lanes before the intersection with Water Street. Kenens didn’t notice the 2013 Buick Verano, driven by Mia M. Stolz, beside him, and sideswiped the vehicle. 

Damage is estimated between $2,500 and $5,000.

Damage is estimated between $1,000 and $2,500.
