STATE AND FEDERAL RACES The real action is in the state and federal legisla- tures, and for president. At the state level, Gov. Eric Holcomb is being chal- lenged in the primary by Brian Roth. In the fall, the winner will face Democrat Woodrow Myers. The three state represen- tative districts that include parts of Pike County are Dis- tricts 63, 64 and 75. In Dis- trict 75, there are two Re- publicans vying for the Re- publican nomination. They are Cindy Ledbetter and Mi- chael Griffin. They are vy- ing to see who faces Demo- crat John Hurley. District 75 is an open seat this year, as multi-term incumbent Ron Bacon announced he is not seeking re-election. In District 64, Republican incumbent Matt Hostettler is being challenged by Dem- ocrat Ian Gamroth. In Dis- trict 63, Republican incum- bent Shane Lindauer is be- ing challenged by Teresa Kendall. In the Eighth District US Congressional race, Repub- lican incumbent Larry Buc- shon has three Democrat challengers. They are: Ron Drake, E. Thomasina Marsi- li and Mike Webster. The race for president has a large contingent of Demo- crats. On the Indiana prima- ry ballot is Joseph Biden, Mi- chael Bloomberg, Pete But- tigieg, Tulsi Gabbard, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, Elizabeth War- ren and Andrew Young. On the Republican ballot is in- cumbent Donald Trump and challenger Bill Weld. The primary election is Tuesday, May 5 in Indiana. CHARGES Continued from page 1 the sale and distribution of meth.

It also seized $2,507 on June 15, $ 6,333 on Nov. 19, $1,328 on Nov. 19 and $260 on Nov. 19 from different lo- cations. They also seized a 2005 Harley Davidson mo- torcycle with a license plate of GRMCFE. Federal authorities said most of the defendants are facing between 10 years to life on the charges. Wiscaver was arrested on similar charges in August of 2019 in Pike County. He was originally charged with dealing in meth at least 10 grams, level 2 felony; pos- session of meth, a level 6 fel- ony; maintaining a common nuisance, a level 6 felony; and dealing marijuana. He was arrested after po- lice obtained a search war- rant for his residence. Sev- eral officers, including Chief Deputy Dallas Killian, Sgt. Buck Seger, Deputy Jason McKinney, Deputy Paul Collier, Deputy Mike Willis, State Trooper C.J. Boeck- man and Petersburg Police Chief Chuck Baumgart ex- ecuted a search of Wiscav- er's residence. According to a probable cause affida- vit, police went into his res- idence and found relatives in the residence, but Wis- caver was not there. During the search, police noticed a Hummer H3 turn into the driveway, and then quick- ly turn around and speed away. Police pursued the vehicle and stopped it. Wis- caver was driving. Police found $ 652 in cash on Wis- caver and a bag of marijuana next to his vehicle. Despite it raining moments before the stop, the plastic bag was dry. Wiscaver was taken into custody on the local charg- es. Deputy Prosecutor Sarah Christianson said federal au- thorities notified their office the federal charges were be- ing filed and told them they could dismiss the local charges against Wiscaver. He was then released from Pike County Jail and taken into federal custody. However, after a hearing, federal authorities decided to release Wiscaver because they determined he was not a risk. "We presumed he would remain in custody. But we don't have any say in that," said Christianson. She added the local charg- es were dismissed without prejudice, so if needed, they could be refiled. Velpen woman seriously injured Saturday Sullivan County Sher- iff Clark Cottom reports that 20 -year-old McKenzie Dunn, of Velpen, and Des- tany Osborne, of Tell City, were seriously injured in a Saturday morning crash on Indiana 159 and County Road 600 South. A call was made to central dispatch a little after 6 a.m. reporting a single-vehicle accident in- volving a tree and occurring on a curve. The Sullivan County Deputy Sheriff's investiga- tion revealed that Osborne was driving a 2003 Mer- cury car with her passen- ger when she failed to ne- gotiate a curve and left the roadway, striking a tree. Both Osborne and Dunn were transported to Terre Haute Regional Hospital in serious condition by the Sullivan County Ambulance Service. It was reported that seatbelts were in use and air- bags had deployed, Sheriff's deputies were assisted by Sullivan Police, the Dugger Town Marshal, the Indiana State Police and the Union Township Fire De- partment.

"I think we need to come together on an agreement since we don't have one," said Brewster. He said the State Board of Accounts wants the town to have an operating agree- ment with the fire depart- ment. "So in terms of appointing a chief tonight do you want to hold off on this? " asked Councilman Debra Lamb. "Let me clarify the fund. I said we would have to estab- lish a fund. We would have to put in the rules of what you can and can't use it for," said Popp. "You (the fire dept.) have the right to have those funds. I'm saying you have the responsibility to report what funds you have," said Brewster. "What does that have to do with appointing a chief? " asked Larry Smith of the fire department. "I haven't seen any finan- cial responsibility from the fire department for sever- al years. I want there to be an agreement and we have to have this," said Brewster. Popp asked Brewster if he wanted to schedule an exec- utive session to work on it. They weren't able to reach an agreement on when to meet. Brewster said he would like for the three council- men to each come up with by-laws and combine them into an agreement. "Due to past experience, I'm going to exclude myself from that meeting," said Popp. "I want the agreement to be acceptable to you and us and them," said Brewster. "I don't want to ordain a fire department. I'm not sure funding a fire department is in the best financial interest of the town," said Lamb. "Are you saying you don't have a fire department? " asked Brewster? "I want to keep my op- tions open. If things don't work out with this fire de- partment, I want to keep my options open to pursue a contract with Patoka," said Lamb. "It sure isn't going to be drafted by ignoring it. You have your opinions. He has his, I have mine and they have theirs. Until we get to- gether and work this out this won't work," said Brewster. Eventually they decided to wait until their exit con- ference with the State Board of Accounts and ask their opinion on an agreement. That meeting is set for Feb- ruary 18. "I think what they are tell- ing you is they will give you an answer on February 18," said Town Clerk-Treasurer Stacy McCandless. Smith told the council he had an early 1980s pump- er fire truck donated to the Winslow Fire Department from the community of Pi- lot in Posey County. He said the truck had a 700 -gallon tank to pump from. In other business, the council voted to purchase six $200 replacement bat- teries for the storm siren in Winslow. The sirens were purchased by the Pike Coun- ty Emergency Management Agency, but replacing their batteries are the responsibil- ity of the town. Councilmen also agreed to work on changing the town's ordinance on ap- pointing park board mem- bers. Brewster said the state ordinance says the council appoints the members. The town's ordinance said the Council president appoints park board members. Popp said they needed to rewrite the town's ordinance to reflect what the state stat- ute says. Chris Satterfield of the Winslow Park Board said he had an application for grants available for parks in Winslow. He suggested they get together and de- cide what they would like to request and get it submitted. The deadline is in June.
