If you have any information on who may be responsible, you’re asked to contact the TIP line at 1-800-TIP-IDNR or you can call District 7 Headquarters at (812) 789-9538.

This weekend, Deaconess and the American Red Cross are partnering to offer free CPR training. Officials say it’s hands only training, which means this is not the hours long certification training.

It will run from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Officials say you must be at least 14 years or older to participate and pre-register online.
