The youth wild turkey hunting season is April 20 -21 on selected In- diana Department of Natu- ral Resources properties. Youth hunters or an adult representing them must reg- ister in person or by phone during the normal office hours for the property they wish to hunt. Hunters are allowed to register for only one property. A limit will be placed on the number of youth hunt- ers allowed to hunt a respec- tive property each hunting day in an attempt to pro- vide quality hunts for par- ticipants. A drawing will be held on Monday, April 3, at proper- ties where the number of registered hunters exceeds the spots available. A youth hunter may be drawn for ei- ther one or both hunt days, depending on the number of applicants. All applicants will be notified of the draw- ing results by mail. Applicants must pos- sess a 2019 Youth Consoli- dated Hunting & Trapping License, a 2019 Non-Resi- dent Youth Spring Turkey License with a gamebird habitat stamp privilege, or a Lifetime Comprehensive Hunting License. Appren- tice hunting licenses of the types named above also may be used. To register a youth for one of the hunts, this informa- tion is needed includes hunt- er's name, type of license and license number, date(s) in which applying, mailing address, phone number, par- ent or guardian's name, ad- dress and phone number Hunting hours are one- half hour before sunrise un- til noon at properties in the Central Time Zone, and one- half hour before sunrise un- til 1 p.m. on properties in the Eastern Time Zone. Youth hunters who are selected for the hunt may check in at any time each day until the end of legal hunting hours for that prop- erty. Properties will not have a daily no-show drawing. Hunters interested in possi- ble unfilled quotas at a prop- erty should call that proper- ty for more information be- fore showing up. During youth wild tur- key season, hunters young- er than age 18 on the day of the hunt can take a beard- ed or male wild turkey. The youth must be accompanied by someone age 18 or older. The youth hunter may use any legal shotgun, bow and arrow, or crossbow. The adult accompanying the youth hunter must not possess a firearm, bow and arrow, or crossbow while in the field. The accompany- ing adult must be licensed if they are assisting by call- ing or if the youth is using an apprentice license. To purchase a Youth Con- solidated or Turkey license go to INHuntFish.com.

WINSLOW TWIST CONTEST White River to reach near historic levels By Andy Heuring The White River is reach- ing near historic levels of flooding. On Tuesday, at Pe- tersburg, it was at 25 feet, with a predicted crest of 25.9 feet on Thursday, Feb- ruary 14. That is the high- est the river has been since 2011, when it reached 26.88 feet on May 3 and 26.75 feet on April 27. The other times it was higher than 25.9 was in June 12, 2008, when it reached 26.96, which was the highest crest since 1937, when it reached 28.3 on Jan- uary 22. Nearly five inches of rain was recorded in Pike Coun- ty over the last seven days. That five inches of rain was widespread across much of the drainage area of both the East and West forks of the White River. It also fell on ground that was already saturated. Highway 257 was closed late last week and apparent- ly will remain closed until about February 22, depend- ing on future rains. The White River is predicted to start dropping after Wednes- day, but only slowly. It is ex- pected to stay above 25 feet until Saturday, February 16. It is not expected to fall be- low 21 feet, which is about the level it crosses Highway 257, until February 22. Flood stage is 16 feet at Petersburg. As a historical reference, the levee near Petersburg broke in 1990 at 25.8 feet. That caused a large washout that took out the waterlines between Petersburg's well field and their water plant. They supplied water not on- ly for Petersburg but also Pike-Gibson. Much of the county was without drink- ing water for two weeks. Ballot set for city primary By Andy Heuring The deadline to file for Pe- tersburg city offices passed at noon on Friday, February 8. There will be no opposed races in the primary and it is expected there will not be a primary election because of no double filings. The ballot for the fall as of now will be: Mayor: Robert (R.C.) Klipsch (R) Clerk-Treasurer: Tammy Selby (D) Dist. 1: Gary L. Leavitt (R) Dist. 2: John Melhiser (R) Dist. 3: Scott V. Jenkins (D) and Tricia A. Claridge (R) Dist. 4: Brian VanMeter (D) At-large: Braden Henson (R) and Jody Hoover (D). This is the ballot as it stands, but the parties can add a candidate to vacant spots on their ballot prior to the general election, which is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 5.
