Campus Life | Security
Safety and Security
Ripon College holds the safety and well-being of its community members and visitors as one of its highest concerns. While Ripon College is a relatively safe place to be, it is certainly not exempt from the same crime problems that exist in surrounding communities.
Our goal is to provide a safe environment, one in which all campus members can work, learn and live. To attain this goal, all members must take responsibility for the safety and security of themselves and their neighbors. There needs to be a communal responsibility in all members of the College community. This means that all members not only must abide by accepted behavior standards, but also that each member will encourage acceptable behavior among their peers. In particular, criminal activity or unsafe practices such as propping open exterior doors for convenience's sake should not be tolerated.
Community members are encouraged to report crime and unsafe conditions or acts to appropriate College officials.

Security Measures
The Ripon College Physical Plant Department and Night watch Security provide 24/7 radio coverage for emergency number (920) 748-8703 calls. Night watch security officers do not have arrest powers and do not carry weapons.
City of Ripon Police provides routine patrol of public areas adjacent to the College and is available to assist community members upon request.
There is hall director on-call coverage available for residence hall issues during school sessions. The hall director on call also monitors the 8703 emergency number with a radio. All radios carried are two-way, and voice communication can be established. In addition to residence hall directors, there are resident assistants on duty to assist residents with safety and security issues.
An escort service is available by calling the 8703 extension. Escort service is available 24 hours, seven days a week. Security or maintenance personnel can escort community members to campus locations anytime of the day or night.
Keycard readers at selected building entrances in all residential student buildings enable the exterior doors to remain locked 24 hours per day. In addition to the residence halls, the Farr Hall of Science and the Kemper Computer Center are equipped with key card readers to enhance security for those working after normal class room/lab hours.
Maintenance contractors are required to register at the Physical Plant Department before entrance to any campus buildings occurs. This reduces the chances of unauthorized or untimely entrance to residence halls.
Crime Reporting
The Campus Safety Officer is designated and authorized by the College to maintain the safety and security of College surroundings. All community members are urged to report crimes in progress, other criminal activity and suspicious behavior so that investigation and remedial activities can occur in a timely manner. Community members may report emergencies directly to the City of Ripon public safety agencies by using 911 or can report emergencies through the campus emergency extension 8703. It is at the discretion of the caller which number to use. Witnesses of crimes in progress may call 911 to access City Police; 911 also may be used to request an ambulance or firefighting equipment. Calls reporting incidents or situations not appropriate for public safety but rather campus security or Physical Plant issues would be made through the emergency 8703 extension.
As examples, reports of suspicious people, deficiencies in door locks or windows, problems with building utilities, minor injuries or requests for escort would be appropriate for 8703. The 8703 emergency number is monitored 24/7 by the Physical Plant or Night watch Security.
Crimes may be reported at the following offices: These calls may not necessarily remain confidential.
- Campus Safety Office: 748-8174
- Physical Plant Office: 748-8142
- Dean of Students Office: 748-8111
Crimes also may be reported to Residence Hall staff. These reports may not remain confidential.
The Campus Safety Office, Dean of Students Office and Office of Marketing and Communication can issue crime warnings to the campus community. These warnings are used to alert the campus community of recent crime so the community can take appropriate precautions. These warnings can be in the form of text messaging using the new Rave system, e-mail, postings or meetings with targeted groups.
The City of Ripon police meets with Residence Hall staff during their orientation period to discuss crime prevention and crime-reporting procedures. Any issues that the residence hall staff present are addressed at that meeting. The Ripon Police communicate recent crime and safety information utilizing text and email messaging through www.nixle.com, a free service, that faculty, staff, students and family members can sign-up for at anytime.
Crime Prevention
Community members can avoid being a victim of crime by practicing the following suggestions:
- Simple theft is the most frequently reported crime at Ripon College. If you leave your room or office for even a few minutes LOCK THE DOOR. Never leave a wallet or purse on top of a desk, put it in a drawer or other out-of-sight place. Avoid carrying unnecessary amounts of cash or credit/debit cards. If you keep valuables in your vehicle, lock them in a trunk. Engrave your driver's license number on computers, stereos, bikes, etc.
- Avoid walking alone at night in dark or poorly lit areas. Escort service is always available.
- Report suspicious people to the 8703 emergency number or call (prefix) 911 to report crimes in progress. From campus phones dial 9-911.
- Report crimes to the Campus Safety Officer or your residence hall staff.
- Do not prop open secured doors. This action exposes others to potential crime victimization.
The Campus Safety Committee generally meets at least once per semester. You are encouraged to contact the chairperson of the committee if you have questions or suggestions regarding safety issues.The Campus Safety Committee is a group of nine faculty, staff, student and community members who review safety issues for Ripon College. Administrative and support staff members are appointed by the President and serve two-year terms.

Emergency Procedures
Bomb Threat Response Plan
Bomb Threat Response Plan
To provide guidelines for action after a bomb threat is received.
Any person receiving a bomb threat will attempt to obtain as much information about the threat as possible. Reference to the attached bomb threat questionnaire will provide guidelines to the information sought if the threat is delivered by telephone. Threats on notes or similar "not live" communications will be preserved and forwarded to appropriate authorities. Threats will be evaluated on their individual circumstances. The decision to evacuate will come after circumstances of the threat are evaluated. All threats ultimately will be forwarded to City of Ripon Police for investigative purposes.
Background information
Bomb threats are a serious occurrence that may lead to destruction of property and loss of life. Bomb threat may just be threats that lead to disruption of scheduled activities.
Questionnaire for Telephone Reception
- In what building is the bomb located?
- Where in the building is the bomb located?
- When is the bomb going to explode?
- What does the bomb look like?
- What will make the bomb detonate?
- Why did you plant the bomb?
- What is your name?
Listen to background noises and accents or other characteristics of the caller's voice. These may provide clues to assist police investigations. Document these observations for Police information.
The person receiving the bomb threat should report to the Physical Plant office in Pickard Commons and remain there until the police of campus administrators have had a chance to debrief the receiver of the call.
After a bomb threat has been received the following notifications should be made as soon as possible.
Initiate administration notification by calling extension 8703 on a campus telephone. Determine a meeting place so that any information received can be relayed for further action determination.
The receiver of the 8703 call will call the following administrator. If the first cannot be reached within one minute, the second on the list should be called, and so on.
Phone numbers:
- Director of Physical Plant: 748-8174
- Assistant Dir. of Physical Plant: 748-8173
- President: 748-8118
- Vice President of Finance: 748-8109
- Director of Residence Life: 748-8146The first administrator reached will assemble members of the Crisis Management Team as described in the Emergency Management Disaster/Crisis Plan.The City of Ripon Public Safety Agencies at 748-2888 should be included in team activities.
- Building evacuations will be for entire buildings, i.e., evacuations will not be for a specific floor or wing.
- Evacuation routes are posted in all buildings, and occupants should be familiar with evacuation routes.
- When a building is evacuated for a bomb threat, consideration should be given to adjacent buildings if the adjacent building is within 1,000 feet of the primary evacuation building.
- People initiating the evacuation notice should not initiate the evacuation in a manner that would cause panic. Phrases like "evacuate immediately because a bomb threat has been received" should be avoided.
- Instead, phrases like "evacuation of the building is necessary until this immediate situation is investigated" should be used.
- When a building is evacuated, re-entry should not occur until a senior college administrator has approved re-entry with City of Ripon Public Safety Officials.
Fire Response Plan
Fire Response Plan
- CFR 29 1910.38 Employee Emergency Plans and Fire Prevention Plans
- OSHA pamphlet 3088 "How to Prepare for Workplace Emergencies"
This plan provides guidance about:
- Emergency escape procedures and emergency escape route assignments for occupied campus buildings.
- Procedures to be followed by employees who remain to perform or shut down critical operations.
- Procedures to account for all building occupants after evacuation has been completed.
- Rescue and medical duties for those employees who are to perform them.
- The preferred means for reporting fires and other emergencies.
- Regular job titles of people or departments to be contacted for further information or explanation or duties under this plan.
I. Policy
Ripon College does not utilize an in-house fire brigade to respond to fire emergencies. Occupants are instructed to evacuate the building in the event of fire, to call (prefix) 911 to notify public safety agencies; account, for Fire Department information, for all people thought to have been inside to determine the chance that someone remains inside the building; to assist public safety agencies as requested, if appropriate; and follow public safety agencies directives.
II. Procedure
RACE is an acronym for the basic actions to be taken immediately upon discovering a fire:
- R for Rescue
- A for alarm
- C for contain
- E for evacuate
The order of the actions rescue, alarm, contain and evacuate are dictated by the situation. For example, if you are walking down a hallway and see smoke pouring into the hallway, the first step may be to yell into the room to see if anyone answers. The second step may be to close the door to contain the fire. Next, the building alarm would be pulled to notify all occupants of the emergency. Next would be assisting in evacuation to a spot away from incoming fire department traffic but near the scene so that head counts can be reported to the fire department.
Use of a fire extinguisher is recommended only if all of the following conditions are met:
- The person has had training on fire extinguisher operation.
- The exact location of an extinguisher is known to be nearby (don't waste time looking for one).
- The fire was witnessed when starting (don't attempt to extinguish a fire in progress. It may be too big and growing too fast).
- A certain emergency pathway to safety exists.
Evacuation Route Assignments:
- Building occupants are instructed to evacuate the building via exit pathways that avoid the room(s) of fire origin.
- Building occupants are to meet in a pre-determined meeting area for head count and instruction from Ripon College Administration or Ripon Fire Department.
Critical Operations
- Fire Involving mechanical or building equipment rooms may require that the gas supply be turned off. This will be done by City of Ripon Fire Department or Alliant Energy.
- Post-Fire Activities
- Inspect for damage. If arson is suspected, leave the scene undisturbed for City of Ripon Fire Department investigation.
- Responsibility of the Physical Plant:
- Photograph the damage.
- Restore the fire alarm system.
- Check electrical system for faults.
- Check for structural damage.
- Evaluate the need for security or safety barricading of the area.
Rescue and Medical Duties
- Rescue and medical duties are assigned primarily to public safety agencies.
- Any person or people involved in rescue and medical duties are to observe procedures established in the College Bloodborne Pathogens policy.
Preferred Means of Reporting Fires and Other Emergencies
- Anyone discovering a fire should pull the building fire alarm to alert all building occupants.
- The City of Ripon Fire Department must be notified of the fire location: 9-911 from residence hall locations 9-911 from all other buildings
- Notify the Physical Plant about the fire and location and if the Fire Department has been called. Dial 703 to connect with walkie-talkie.
- Call 142 to connect with office staff.

Rave Mobile Safety FAQ
Why are we doing this? The leadership of Ripon College concluded that our emergency communication would be more effective in a real emergency using a system like Rave.
Does it cost me anything? The only cost to the user would be for text messages received from Rave when you do not have a texting plan, typically $0.10-$0.20 per message. Otherwise, there is no cost to registered users.
Do other colleges like Ripon use this kind of system? Yes. Essentially all ACM campuses are already using Rave or a similar system for emergency notification. Rave works with hundreds of colleges and universities around the country, including UW-Madison.
Why am I being opted in? We assume most people will want to be part of the communications chain in the event of an emergency, for their safety and the safety of others. The automatic opt-in is a well-established best practice for maximizing the effectiveness of an alert service. You may opt out at any time.
How do I opt out? To stop/prevent getting messages, you may login at https://www.getrave.com/login/ripon site and remove your number, or text the word, "STOP" to 67283.
What if I don't have a texting plan? Almost any mobile phone can receive text messages if the user enables it. Depending on your provider, you may be charged $0.10-$0.20 per text in such cases. If you disable texting entirely, you will only receive the email from Rave, so we encourage you to enable texting on your phone, at least when you are on campus.
How will I identify incoming messages from Rave Alert? You will be sent messages from what are known as short codes. The messages will come from either 67283 or 226787. We encourage you to save these numbers into your phone so you will recognize them when messages are sent. Some smaller carriers do not support short code messaging. For these carriers, you will receive messages from @getrave.com.
What type of messages will I receive? Ripon College will only send you messages related to emergencies. You will never receive advertisements and your information is never provided to advertisers.
Who can subscribe to/use the service? Any student, staff or faculty member of Ripon College can subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the Rave Alert service. Community leaders and emergency officials in our area will also be invited to register.
What is my username? Your username should be your Ripon College email address and your password is whatever you set when you sign up.
What mobile phone carriers are supported? All U.S. mobile carriers are supported.
What if my cell phone number changes? If your mobile number ever changes, please login to https://www.getrave.com/login/ripon and update your contact details.
What if my cell phone provider changes? If you keep the same mobile number, and simply change cell phone provider, you do not have to change anything. It may take several weeks, however, for your mobile provider to update the Rave Alert system. During that time it is possible that you will not be able to receive messages unless you login to update your carrier information.
Will I receive advertisements or text messaging SPAM? No, never. We respect your privacy and you will never receive anything besides official Ripon College emergency communications.
What happens if someone attempts to respond to the text message? The inbound message is logged and is available via a downloadable report. This is a key part of the solution, allowing the sender to solicit critical information about the recipients. This enables an alert to ask a question, such as "Do you need help?"
How do you handle delivery of messages to international phone numbers? Currently international text messaging is only supported via SMTP. Recipients enter their international number address as their preferred email address. There is no phone number validation process for international numbers.
How do you secure student phone numbers and information? Student phone numbers and profiles are stored in Rave's internal databases at secure collocation facilities. Profile information is inaccessible on Rave's site to users outside the school and guarded from external parties by both Rave's and the school's secure authentication systems. Rave maintains a strict privacy policy to protect user information.
What happens if I graduate or otherwise leave Ripon College? Students may opt-out of Rave at any time. Graduates and students/faculty/staff who transfer or leave will be removed from the Rave system.
What kinds of contact info does Rave store per user? Rave stores school email addresses, preferred email addresses and mobile phone numbers if provided. Additional attributes such as college, graduation year and residence hall or building can also be saved for use in targeted alert messaging.
What does Rave do to guarantee uptime? Rave's server facilities are located in multiple geographically-distributed collocation facilities with independent electrical supplies and redundant data connections to multiple internet backbones. The servers themselves are under 24/7 automated monitoring with any issues immediately relayed to our systems team. In addition, alert functionality is constantly tested end-to-end by automated server and handset tools, as well as further guaranteed by manual checks several times a week.
Who do I contact for assistance? If you need assistance, please contact email@example.com.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: analysis for rapid comment - the obama plan
At the beginning of their third week in power, the Obama administration
has outlined the first phase of their economic recovery effort. The plan
at present requires no new actions or money from Congress -- it relies
purely upon the existing legal frameworks that rule the Treasury
Department, the Federal Reserve, and authority and funding obtained by the
Bush administration from Congress.
In fact, while the numbers that freshman Treasury Secretary Geithner
provided as he sketched out the plan Feb. 10 are certainly large --
mammoth even -- a deeper look indicates that the plan is neither creative
nor new. This is not meant as a criticism of the Obama team. While the
devil is of course in the details, the plan as announced looks quite
sound. But not only does it look like a natural extension of and minor
course correction for the Bush administrationa**s bailout policies, but
also it is revolutionary neither in concept nor reach -- only in scope.
As Geithner stated, subprime mortgages lie at the heart of the crisisa**
genesis. This information is neither new nor controversial. People who
should have never qualified for mortgages were encouraged to buy, do we
need to explain why? Push for spending following 9/11? the brokers who
provided the mortgages in turn sold the loans to others who packaged them
together into tradable securities and sold them yet again. When the market
functions normally, this secondary market allows investors to flood money
into the system, dropping borrowing costs. But when home prices fall or
foreclosures mount -- both of which have happened in spades in recent
months -- it is impossible to separate the good loans from the bad in the
securities. Short of the ability to assess how much any particular
security is worth, no one wants to purchase them, and the entire housing
credit system seizes up.
Last September, the problem broke out of housing and affected the broader
financial system. Suddenly banks were unwilling to lend not simply to
homebuyers, but also to each other. Could explain a bit more why this
happened in September... how CDS's freaked the crap out of everyone when
mortgage backed security exposed banks started sucking balls. The logic
was that if we cannot assess how stable your asset sheet is, we cannot in
good conscience lend our money to you. Money stopped flowing completely.
On the graph below you can see how the cost of one bank lending to another
shot up during that time.
At this point a technical distinction is required for clarity. When banks
stop lending to each other, it is not a traditional credit crunch, it is a
liquidity crunch. The money is there, it just is unable to flow to where
it is needed. Read your "credit crunch" definition in the paragraph
below... did you really make a coherent distinction here? Liquidity
crunches are perhaps the most damning thing that can happen to a modern
economy. Western banking systems exist to allocate capital to entities
that will use it most efficiently and effectively. When banks stop doing
that, everything that depends upon credit at all in the affected economy
simply stops. Most of what the Bush administration did in the final four
months of its term -- and nearly everything it did in September and
October -- was to mitigate this liquidity crisis. (For a thorough
discussion of how it all went down, click
This liquidity crisis is pretty much over at present. Interbank costs have
plummeted and interbank lending has broadly picked up again (see that same
In contrast, the problem of today is a credit crunch. Liquidity is back in
the system, but lending to from banks to consumers and companies has yet
to recover. Banks remain risk averse not necessarily because they are
worried about the creditworthiness of their peers, but because they are
concerned about the creditworthiness of their (potential) customers.
Credit checks have become more thorough, marginal borrowers have been
declined, and loans on the whole have become harder to get.
While such circumstances are obviously recessionary, they are hardly
unprecedented. In fact, what is happening now with the credit markets is
the same thing that happens in every recession. Unlike the liquidity
situation that the Bush administration struggled with in October/November
of 2008, the credit situation of 2009 is not extraordinary. And so the
Obama plan for dealing with it is rather orthodox.
In essence, the worst is past. We mean to neither belittle the pain of the
recession or wave away concerns for the future, simply to point out that
the systemic danger is past and the nature of the current problem lies
within a more understood framework for which mitigation and recovery tools
already exist. Some of these tools are simply part of the governmenta**s
normal tool kit, and those that are not were crafted by Congressional
cooperation with the Bush administration within the last year.
The Obama strategy can be broken into three pieces.
First, the Treasury department, Federal Reserve, FDIC and other government
entities that touch upon the banking sector will run a a**stress testa**
of every bank that seeks any sort of assistance. This test will focus on
lending practices and balance sheets, and qualifying banks can tap the
Treasury for loans to help rationalize their balance sheets. The
government requirement for any such loans, however, will be that the banks
must regularly prove that such government assistance is used exclusively
to extend credit to consumers. There must not be any excessive executive
compensation (as defined by the Treasury) and the funds cannot be used to
purchase other banks. What about to just sit on it? Does it also prevent
that? Do banks still have that option?
For funding this program will use the final half of the $700 billion --
under TARP -- that Congress authorized to the Bush administration back in
September. The primary difference between how the Obama and Bush
administrations carried out TARP is that the Bush administration simply
wanted to shove as much cash into the system as quickly as possible in
order to reliquify the system. As such the Bush administrationa**s $350
billion simply went directly to the banks with few strings attached.
But the Obama administration does not have to deal with a liquidity
crisis, so it is putting into place the safeguards, a**stress testsa**,
and lending requirements to minimize graft and maximize overall lending.
The Bush team administered its half of the TARP money within a few short
weeks, the controls the Obama team will implement will take months. But
bear in mind that the Obama team is addressing a fundamentally different
issue than the Bush team. Liquidity crises are economy killers, while
credit crises are a**merelya** recession causers. For the Obama team there
is not the same level of urgency the Bush team faced, so the Obama team
can afford to take the time to apply their package more comprehensively.
Second, the Treasury Department will set up a public/private investment
fund so like a bad bank? to manage and dispose of the questionable
mortgage-backed securities that touched all this off in the first place.
The plan is to work with the private sector to set a price for the
securities somewhere between what they were worth when they were
originally formulated, and the near-worthlessness of them now (remember,
all these securities are backed by actual homes with values that are far
more than zero). The Treasury will provide the initial funds to purchase
the securities from banks, and the Fed whatever financing is necessary.
The plan is to clean the banksa** books while injecting capital --
allowing the banks to make loans with more confidence. The government
plans to provide $500 billion in financing immediately, and could apply $1
trillion before all is said and done.
Third, the government will participate in the secondary debt market.
Secondary debt is like the mortgage-backed securities we discussed
earlier: loans that have been packaged together for trading, like
securitized car and college loans.. Geithner estimates that 40 percent of
the capital that supports lending in the United States only participates
in the secondary market. So long as banks and investors are skittish, this
market does not operate smoothly. Up to $1 trillion will be applied to
this via TALF, largely via Fed financing.
All together this sounds like a lot of cash, and it is. The total tag
comes in at roughly $2.4 trillion -- more than the entire government
budget in a normal year. But this isna**t nearly as bad as it sounds. In
fact, the government is likely to make money on this over time.
First of all, the TARP money is all loans. Banks that received the first
batch from the Bush administration have to pay 8 percent interest
annually. Additionally, under the terms of TARP the banks had to provide
the government with the right to veto policy decisions. So the Obama
administration enters their time with TARP with all the tools in place to
change bank policy to match national policy. Now the specific terms as to
how the Obama team will rejigger TARP remain to be seen, but if anything
the terms of the TARP loans will be tightened (making it more likely that
the government will come out ahead) rather than loosened.
Second, the public/private debt management effort will almost certainly
produce a fat profit for the government. The government will be buying up
the distressed securities at well below market prices, and then will sell
them at a time and place -- and most importantly price -- of its choosing
down the line, ostensibly after the housing market recovers. The issue
isna**t that the money will disappear, but instead it is opportunity cost
and timeframe. With a potential $1 trillion in assets under management,
this program could well take over a decade to flush out completely. The
closest comparison in American financial history is the Resolution Trust
Corporation, a federal program of the 1980s and 1990s designed to help the
country recovery from mass bankruptcies in the Savings&Loan sector. Once
one adjusts for the change in the size of the economy from then to now,
the RTC program was about half the size of Secretary Geithnera**s
public/private program and it still took six years to complete.
Finally, participating in the secondary debt market is a temporary measure
with the full intent of pulling back from that market as soon as the
private sectora**s appetite for investment returns. This is the only part
of the program that Stratfor anticipates will operate at a loss once all
the accounting in finished. Debt trading works on the idea that private
investors are better at reducing costs and directing capital than the
government. So not only would it be government employees (albeit it very
knowledgeable and financially experienced employees) be playing the
market, but they will be doing so with the intent of keeping things moving
rather than making money. That will generate losses. But even here, the
price tag isna**t as bad as it sounds. While Treasury will use up to $1
trillion to run this program, every asset purchased will also be sold. So
the cost will largely be administrative. I think this part could be
explained a bit more... How will the government play the secondary market.
Will the government be allowed to package loans into securities, or are we
just talking trading?
Now this does not mean that all of the Obama teama**s policies will be
cost-neutral. As we noted in the first paragraph, this is only the first
step of the Obama plans for dealing with the recession. All of the
spending and tax cuts that are in the stimulus package currently before
Congress are funded with deficit spending -- very real costs that will
create very real debt that will definitely need to be paid back.
Additionally, in Geithnera**s presentation he gave notice that in the
weeks ahead the administration would announce a fourth effort. That effort
aims to provide debt relief to consumers in order to help prevent
foreclosures. Stratfor does not wish to pre-judge that effort before it is
announced, but anything that uses the phrase a**debt reliefa** normally
has a lot of costs attached to it.This was specifically for homeowners and
small businesses... should mention this so people know what you are
talking about.

Driver of F-350 that struck TDOT HELP truck to be cited
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly attributed some information to the HELP truck driver Michael J. Carr.
KNOXVILLE — The driver of a vehicle that struck a Tennessee Department of Transportation HELP truck on June 14 will face several charges when he is discharged from the University of Tennessee Medical Center, Knoxville police said.
Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk, said today that Scott Hardin, 39, Knoxville, will be cited in lieu of arrest with following too closely, not wearing a seat belt and violation of the registration law.
Hardin's hearing date in Knox County General Sessions Court will most likely be two to four weeks after he is cited, depending on holiday court schedules.
Hardin was injured when his Ford F-350 struck a parked TDOT HELP truck about 4:30 p.m. June 14 on Interstate 640.
Hardin and Michael J. Carr, 43, Sevierville, the operator of the TDOT HELP truck, have been discharged from UT Medical Center, spokesman Jim Ragonese said.
TDOT spokesman Mark Nagi said Carr is scheduled to return to work June 27.
Knoxville Fire Department Capt. Brent Seymour said the TDOT HELP truck operator was blocking the far right lane of I-640 westbound as a safety precaution while Knoxville firefighters worked beneath the Western Avenue overpass to extinguish a pickup truck that had caught fire.
According to a KPD report, Carr reported he had been parked in the right lane for about a minute when he saw the Ford F-350 traveling at him at a high rate of speed.
"The driver was distracted by a cell phone or another electronic device in the vehicle," Carr reported.
"The driver attempted to swerve to avoid the TDOT truck, but hit it and was partially ejected out of the front windshield."
The HELP truck was taken to TDOT headquarters in Strawberry Plains, and the F-350 was taken to Cedar Bluff 24-Hour Towing.
Nagi said the TDOT HELP truck sustained major body damage to the left rear and the underneath frame of the truck. The truck has been turned in to be replaced as part of a fleet rotation.
The truck was not scheduled to be traded during the next rotation, but due to the damage, TDOT moved it up in the rotation line.
"We will operate our spare truck until a replacement arrives, and such date is unknown at this time," Nagi said.
More details as they develop online and in the Thursday News Sentinel.

Kansas anti-abortion law: How divided can the states get?
States are in an ideological arms race, epitomized by dueling abortion bills floated by legislatures from Kansas to New York. Is this federalism on steroids?
John Hanna/AP
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is set to sign a tough new anti-abortion law that says life begins at conception and bans sex-selection abortions. In response, states like Washington and New York are scrambling to reduce restrictions on the procedures, such as loosening rules around late-term abortions.
The recent bipolar moves in Kansas and New York suggest that US states are increasingly leaving gridlocked Washington in the dust on policy ranging from abortion to marijuana, from immigration to guns. The result is a disparate patchwork of laws and policies that some suggest are beginning to turn America from a homogenous land of centrists and moderates into a partisan land of balkanized rules, economies, and lifestyles.
"There is nothing especially new about states going their own way," New York Times columnist Bill Keller wrote late last month. "We fought a civil war, after all. And we have become accustomed to categorizing states as red or blue, based on their electoral choices. But it feels as if every news cycle brings another seemingly random example of a state veering off the mainstream… What's up with that?"
To be sure, the rise of the tea party movement has helped fuel a nearly unprecedented situation where 75 percent of US statehouses are under single party control even as Washington seems mired in perpetual partisan gridlock. The widening policy gap between states, too, comes against another backdrop: The decision by the Obama administration, particularly though Obamacare, to use states as proxies to install federal policy.

Arizona high court to review school funding case
PHOENIX -- The Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a case that found the state Legislature must give schools an annual funding increase even in lean years to account for inflation.
The high court decided Wednesday to review a January appeals court decision in a case brought by school districts who complained that the Legislature violated the Voter Protection Act when they stopped providing the annual inflation adjustment in 2010. Lawmakers instead only increased transportation funding and cut a $61 million increase in general school spending.
The annual 2 percent funding hike is required under a 2000 ballot measure that raised the state sales tax by 0.6 percent.
The court will hear arguments about whether voters may require the Legislature to increase school funding in July.

Yeah, it's "copy and paste, ad infinitum," but it's the only way to tell over 200 of you that I wish you a MIRACULOUS MERRY and a HAPPY HAPPY and to tell you that I am blessed to have you as a friend. Merry Christmas, Buddy!
May your hearts be filled with peace and faith in God. May your days of doubt be replaced with days of hope and cheer. May you and your family get nurtured with lots of love! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015 to you and to your loved ones! Robert
Thanksgiving is the appointed time for focusing on the good in our lives. In each of our days, we can find small blessings, but too often we overlook them, choosing instead to spend our time paying attention to problems. We give our energy to those who cause us trouble instead of those who bring peace. Starting now, let's be on the lookout for the bits of pleasure in each hour, and appreciate the people who bring love and light to everyone who is blessed to know them. You are one of those people. On Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey G R, Thanks for the BD wishes. It was a wonderful time spent with friends on College Game Day. Last night didn't feel too great, and now today I have the flu. I'll either get better or not make it...LOL. Happy Thanksgiving if I don't get back to you ! I have at least 100 to thank for the wishes !
Our buddy, BluWahoo, is having a Birthday tomorrow, Sat. 11/22/14. Lets throw her a Whiteboard Birthday Party. Warren
It's crazy, I would buy about 200 to 300 tickets once in a while. Then then time I WON, I couldn't beleive it. Then one week later I lost my job of 14 years. My deepest sympathy on your loss. Prayers said for you and your family. I lost my last and favorite uncle in August. He was 85 and in a nursing home.. Keep your chin up and look for the good things in life, they don't last forever and they are precious. Your family needs you to be the leader and strong.
grmoore, my thoughts and prayers to you and yours during this especially hard time. May the Good Lord bless!

Prayers sent up for your family.

Learn about United Way's Education Initiatives
Thanks, Dad (and other men who care about kids)!
Father's Day is coming up. No doubt lots of kids will be going on a special outing with their dad, or creating gifts, or even giving their father the old stand-by gift, a necktie. But since so many children don't have the means to celebrate like this with their fathers, United Way of Northern New Jersey hosts an annual gift drive. More

The Gift of Graduation
For lots of families like mine, it is graduation season. This can be such a joyful time for the students and their families alike. I am so proud and grateful that my son is graduating from high school and looking forward to attending college. I also am grateful that my son had not only my husband and me to help him work hard to succeed in school, but also wonderful teachers, coaches, and other adult mentors. More
Rock Stars in Nashville
It's hard to think of an academic as a rock star, but that's how Mark Kramer was received at the United Way Community Leaders Conference in Nashville in early May 2012. Perhaps it was because we were in the U.S. County Music Capital (Dolly Parton made an appearance as well, but that's another story altogether).
The Most Important Lessons in Life I Learned From My Mother
As long as I can remember, my mom has been doing for others. She set an example and included me in her good work. I remember as a child, going to volunteer wherever my mom was helping in the community. We did many different things including volunteering at our church or the park concession stand, which I realize now played a vital role in keeping the kids in my community active and healthy. More
