Your Area's NEWEST Carrier Dealer *Upon timely registration SERVICE EXCELLENCE HIGH QUALITY Patoka FD trains with P&L Rescue Services By James Capozella Several cars, trucks and SUVs got clipped, flipped and chopped up during an extrication training for Pa- toka Township Volunteer Fire Department members this past Saturday afternoon. Assistant Chief Daniel Shel- ton, lieutenants Elijah Park- er and Joshua Popp, and 11 others participated in the training offered by P&L Res- cue Services, of Evansville. Schell Towing, on 650 N., just north of Petersburg off the interstate, sponsored the event, offering an area to train and a number of late model vehicles. P&L Rescue Services had two instructors on scene where the battery- powered hydraulic Genesis Rescue System extrication tools were employed. Patoka Chief Brandon Truitt was unable to at- tend, but Shelton, Parker and Popp were joined by 11 other department firemen, including Woody Wilkins, Erik Gardner, Ethan Kunz, Jayme Kunz, Dalton Mill- er, Carrie Shelton, Justin Hamm, Danny drew, Rich- ard McDowell, Crit Down- ing and Gage Kunz. The instructors from P&L Rescue Services are Hen- derson, Ky., firefighters, who not only train with the Genesis equipment, but al- so maintain and service the tools when not on duty with the Henderson Fire Depart- ment. Rolling an SUV was a part of Saturday's extrication training sponsored by Schell Towing at 3000 E. CR 650 N., just off to the east of I-69. Fourteen Patoka Township Volunteer Fire Department members learned and practiced the latest skills necessary with the battery-powered Genesis extrication tools.

Pa- toka Township Volunteer Fire Department fire- fighters turned out for a day of extrication train- ing sponsored by Schell Towing this past Satur- day. The 14 members used their Genesis tools, which are maintained by P&L Services. David Ackley named as a new Pike County Extension Educator By Andy Heuring Pike County has a new Extension Educator. David Ackley, of Edon, Ohio, has been hired to work with 4-H Youth Development and Ag- riculture, and Natural Re- sources. Ackley is a graduate of West Virginia, where he was in Ag Business and Ru- ral Development. He also completed a Master's of Ag. He started a couple of weeks ago. "I wanted to stay in the Midwest. I looked at Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, and had an interview in all of them. I liked this area," said Hackney. He grew up in Edon, Ohio, which is rural and similar to Pike County. Ackley said his senior class had 49 peo- ple in it. He said he didn't grow up on a farm, but all of his friends were farmers. "Ev- ery summer was spent on a farm helping out." He wasn't involved in 4-H when he was growing up, but besides working on friends' farms, he got his exposure to agriculture through the Future Farmers of America. Similar to 4-H, he showed exhibits for FFA. He said his parents liked the program so much, they encouraged his younger siblings to take part in it as well. His young- est sibling has graduated and he said "my parents are kind of bummed out about not doing it this year." "I'm here to be a resource for the community and help out the farmers for the ag side and help with the 4-H side," said Ackley. In his first year, he wants to get to know people and learn the issues. "Kind of take an assessment of ag and 4-H, and see where we need to go," said Ackley.
