Above, Mrs. Jodi Correll's class gathered around the window and did reading assignments by the light coming through the win- dow. At right, Stacy Whitehead and Amy Carnahan work to prepare lunch for the school without elec- tricity. Whitehead said they had turkey sandwiches on the menu for Friday so they moved the sand- wiches to Thursday and Thurs- day's meal to Friday. She took the turkey to Pike Central to slice it and then brought it back to finish preparations for lunch. Duke Energy said there was a line problem near an substation in Oakland City that caused the outage in Petersburg. More than 2,100 of about 2,400 Duke Energy customers in Pike County were af- fected by the outage on Thursday.
