Dick Brews- ter was the only incumbent to hang on to his seat in Win- slow. "I didn't think I would get elected. A lot of people want- ed new faces. I thought we would all be swept out of of- fice," said Brewster. Brewster got 113 votes to finish in third place and capture the final seat. Win- slow's council races for the first time were an at-large race. In prior elections the town was divided in- to three wards. Candidates ran against the other candi- dates residing in the same ward. But the ward bound- aries were not recertified in time and the Indiana Elec- tion Division decertified the wards, which meant it was an at large race. So the top three vote getters were elected. Kavin "Squeak" Gayhart was just 10 votes out of third place getting 103 votes. Incumbent Terry Stro- bel was in fifth place with 100 votes. Mike Truitt had 87 votes, Rick Mathias 83 votes, incumbent Greg Sim- mons 74, George Fred Fis- cus 28 and Melvin Decisto 11. In the race for Clerk-Trea- surer Stacy Worthington won handily 196 to 124 over Trisha Bottoms. Worthing- ton was appointed in March of 2018, when then Clerk- Treasurer Beth Bennett resigned. "I just want to thank all the voters of Win- slow and I will continue to do a great job for them," said Worthington about her win. "I'm extremely honored and just a little freaked out. I don't want to let anyone down," said Lamb about her leading the ticket in the at- large council race. Lamb, who retired from the Post Office, has been ac- tive in the town on the Beau- tification Committee and Planning Committee. "I'm very honored by the faith people have put in me and I will work hard to live up to that. I'm really hoping I can do right by them. Only thing we can do is try. I think we will work well together. I think I see some good things for the future. I think we are all on the same page for the most part and I think that will work well for us in the long run," said Lamb. Her son-in-law, Josh Popp was 11 votes behind Lamb. "I think people wanted to see a bit of a change," said Popp about the results. He said he thought the differ- ence in the election was, "how we presented our- selves on issues, assessing the problems and address- ing those problems with so- lutions. Anyone can point out a problem," said Popp. "I think we made it to just about every single door. We didn't get to talk to every- one. Some people weren't home, but we made the at- tempt to try to meet people one-on-one," said Popp. He said Lamb, "Came up with a survey and explained we wanted to take that and set goals from it. We wanted to see what the town wants and be their voice," said Popp. "The first thing is assess- ing your situation, look- ing at a big picture review of everything before mak- ing any drastic changes. Changes need to be made, but we need to assess the sit- uation. We need to let peo- ple know what we are do- ing. I have gone through the town ordinances that were last updated in 2014. I want to make all the town's ordi- nances available, so people can see what the rules are, and update some of them," said Popp. He said he also wants to "Continue to build partner- ships with the Pike County Chamber of Commerce and invite people from the coun- ty and start building part- nerships." Brewster said he was pleased with the results and that Lamb and Popp had won. "I think we can work well together. I don't have a problem with them. But I wouldn't have had a prob- lem with any of the others ei- ther," said Brewster. Winslow had 342 of the 582 registered voters in Winslow cast a ballot for a turnout of 58.7 percent.
