Purdue Extension—Pike County News I pledge my heart to greater loyalty By Sarah Hopkins 4-H Youth Development and Health and Human Sciences Educator I pledge my HEAD to clearer think- ing, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service, and my HEALTH to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world. The 4-H pledge reminds 4-H members of the importance of the four Hs, Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. With the increasing accessibili- ty of the Internet and smartphones, our community has become connect- ed in ways that were once unimagina- ble. These technologies enable us to maintain close bonds across great dis- tances, but a social media driven cul- ture can also encourage a destructive need for constant affirmation and in- stant gratification. How do we help youth maintain meaningful connections in our tech- nology driven culture? Participating in group-based organizations and service activities provides youth the opportu- nities to step outside of themselves, recognize the commonality among all people, and realize the importance of relationships with others. The 4-H Youth Development pro- gram provides many opportunities for youth to engage with others— whether that be at workshops, the county 4-H fair, or in a club meeting. At these events, 4-H members engage with people with varied life experienc- es. This exposure to people different from themselves helps youth develop a mindset of understanding and putting others first to build a better club, com- munity, country and world. HOW DO I JOIN? The 4-H Youth Development pro- gram is open to all youth in grades K- 12. Youth in grades K-2 are our Mini 4-H members who can explore a vari- ety of 4-H topics for a $5 annual pro- gram fee. Youth in grades 3-12 have over 70 project options to learn and cre- ate for a $20 annual program fee. To enroll in Pike County 4-H, go the web- site http://in.4honline.com and follow the instructions. If you do not have ac- cess to a computer, or if you need as- sistance, contact the Purdue Extension office at 812-354-6838.

Area Reunion Road rage report leads to arrest of Mississippi man By Andy Heuring A Mississippi man was arrested on weapon and criminal recklessness charges following a re- port of road rage Saturday night. James Tyler Wade, 27, of Richton, Mississippi was arrested by Indiana State Trooper Brayden Anger- meier at about 5:30 p.m. Trooper Angermeier said he was notified of a 911 report of a man firing shots after a road rage incident. Angermeier said the call- er stated he tried to pass Wade on Highway 57, but Wade had cut him off and they "exchanged middle fingers." The caller said Wade then put a pistol out the window and fired four or five shots in the air. Trooper Angermeier said he located a vehicle matching the description given by the caller. He al- so located the driver and placed him in handcuffs. Police then found a load- ed pistol and marijuana in the car. Wade was taken to the Pike County Jail and pre- liminarily charged with carrying a handgun with- out a permit, criminal recklessness armed with a deadly weapon, intimida- tion and possession of mar- ijuana. Two women arrested after skirmish By Andy Heuring Two Pike County women were ar- rested on preliminary charges of dis- orderly conduct after they yelled at each other and one slapped the other. Kelly Lynn Purvis, 60 and Deborah Susan Hartman, 52, were both arrest- ed on warrants after a 2 a.m. incident on Sunday, April 7. Pike County Deputy Paul Collier said at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, April 7, Hartman called the Sheriff's Depart- ment to report her boyfriend's wife had shown up at Martin Beck's residence at 4981 N. CR375W. Hartman said Pur- vis and her boyfriend, Vaughn Harper were in front of the house repeatedly honking their horn in a Ford pickup and then left. Then at 3:18 a.m. Kelly Purvis called central dispatch and said she wanted to press charges against Hartman for hitting her while she was sitting in the truck near Beck's residence. Deputy Collier said he and Peters- burg Police Cpl. Jared Simmons went to a Petersburg residence to talk to Purvis and Harper about the incident. According to probable cause testi- mony, Deputy Collier said Kelly Pur- vis told him she had been tracking her husband Jon (Kevin) Purvis's location and she knew he was with Hartman. She said she lives in Pike County and her husband lives in Texas. She said when they got to Beck's house, Beck came out of the house and approached the driver's side door while Hartman came to the passen- ger's side and punched her in the face repeatedly. According Collier's testimony, Cpl. Simmons asked Purvis to take a por- table breath test for alcohol and she refused. Collier said they told her they could not fill out a report unless she took a PBT. He then went to Beck's residence and spoke with him. Beck told police a white pickup truck showed up at his house and started honking its horn. He said Purvis told him it was probably his wife. So Beck went out to talk to them. While he was talking to them, Hartman walked up. He said Kelly then started yelling and screaming profanity at Hartman and they began yelling at each other and Hartman smacked Purvis once with an open hand. Police then talked with Jon Purvis. He said he didn't go outside because he didn't want to create an argument. Hartman said she went outside to see who it was and when Purvis be- gan yelling at her, she smacked her one time. Police then located Harper and talk- ed with him. He said they went to the Moose to try to find Purvis and then went to Beck's residence with Kelly, and that was when Hartman slapped Kelly. A warrant was requested for both on disorderly conduct charges. Hartman was arrested April 12 and Purvis was arrested on April 10. SOMETHING NEWSWORTHY? Give us a call—812-354-8500
