Wassmer escapes injury in crash An Evansville man on his way to work escaped serious injury when he apparently fell asleep and crashed into a guardrail early Monday morning on I-69. Robert N. Wassmer, 61, of 1412 Jackson St., Evansville, told police he was driving to work at the Pe- tersburg IPL plant and remembers hearing the rumble strips, waking up and then hitting the guard rail. Wassmer was driving a 2011 Ford Fusion north on I-69 near the 41.5-mile marker and hit the guard rail head-on, according to Pike County Sheriff's Deputy Jason McKinney. His Ford sustained heavy front end damage, estimated at between $10,000 and $25,000 in the 6:52 a.m. accident. CHRISTMAS Continued from page 1 days. All money raised stays in Gibson and Pike counties. The Princeton Corps. is lo- cated at 202 S. Gibson St., Princeton, and serves as the headquarter for both coun- ties. "Utility and rent bills were paid through Salvation Ar- my to keep people in their homes, and emergency housing and clothing were provided. Hundreds of nu- tritious meals were served each week, especially when children were out of school. Countless boys and girls are able to celebrate Christmas through the Salvation Ar- my Toy Shop. Remember, it was the Salvation Army who came early and stayed late during the Petersburg Tornado," said bell ringing chairman Cal Biddle. "They helped us during our time of need. Volunteer at least a couple of hours to help Pike Co. people in need. Many people ring for two hours at a time. Some like to ring with a friend. Some churches and school groups take an entire day," said Biddle. "Your volun- teering helps families have a Merry Christmas." CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Volunteers are needed for Christmas in the Park to greet guests, bring can- dy to pass out and collect do- nations. The dates available are Dec. 9, 15, 22, 28 -31, and Jan. 1. If interested, call Jim Gidcumb at 812-582-1657. year, Winslow had applied and they planned to use the Pike County Highway Department to do the pav- ing work for them. Council- man Dick Brewster said this would have allowed them to do a lot more paving than having to pay a contractor. However, he said a local in- dividual complained to the state about the Pike Coun- ty Highway Department do- ing the paving work for Pe- tersburg. Jim Johns attend- ed the County Commis- sioners' meetings last year, complained about it and wrote to INDOT about it. Neither Petersburg or Win- slow received grants for last year after Johns' complaints. Both said they heard the Indiana Department of Transportation decided to require a contractor be used to do the paving work. Councilmen also dis- cussed purchasing a used backup pumper truck for the Winslow Fire Department. Rick Mathias said the fire department had decided to just wait until the new town councilmen take office and then bring the matter before them. "I think it would be better to let the new board talk about it and let them decide what they want to do with it," said Mathias. Councilmen Simmons and Strobel were not re- elected. They will be re- placed by Debra Lamb and Josh Popp. Brewster was the only incumbent to be re-elected. "I'm not sure I agree with that," said Brewster. Brewster asked what was wrong with the backup fire truck. "What isn't wrong with it? "said Mathias. He said during a pump test, they could not make it "draft." He said it pumped water as well as the new- est pumper truck, but it wouldn't draft. Mathias said it also didn't have a heater or air-conditioner on it that worked. Mathias said they were wanting to purchase a used fire truck for about $10,000. "What kind of truck can you get for $10,000?. . . Would it be any better? " asked Brewster. Tony Williams said it would be a 90's model in- stead of a 70's model. Brewster said he doesn't think it is legal to use the Public Safety local option income tax revenues to pur- chase a truck. He said he has researched and hasn't been able to find anywhere it says they can use it to pur- chase a fire truck. He said it can be used for a "firefight- ing system" but it didn't say fire truck anywhere. Brews- ter said he would keep look- ing for an answer. In other business, Clerk- Treasurer Worthington said they are getting notic- es that Winslow has a water leak from their total usage monitor. Street Supervisor Da- vid Gayhart said he has searched the town repeat- edly for signs of a leak but hasn't been able to find one. "I'm not saying there isn't one, but I can't find it. I have looked at every ditch, every meter well and every line," said Gayhart. In other business, the council decided to have just one meeting in December. It will be the first meeting of the month at 7 p.m. on Mon- day, December 10 at the community center. Brewster asked about only having one meeting in both November and De- cember. Councilman Ter- ry Strobel said he was okay with just having one meet- ing in December, but added, "We have to have the next meeting in November, be- cause that is when we pay our bills." By James Capozella Petersburg officers Jar- ed Simmons and Sgt. Chad McClellan were involved in a search for a juvenile last Thursday that resulted in charges of Resisting Law Enforcement, False Inform- ing and Disorderly Conduct being brought against Jacob Askren, of 5894 N. 180 W., Patoka. Shelly Lawson, of 2115 E. Main #18, Petersburg, made a missing juvenile call to central dispatch around 6:06 p.m., advising that her 15 -year-old son was going to the Underground store even though he was told not to go. Before making the call, Lawson had gone to the res- idence at 2013 E. Main St. and told the people at the home that if her son didn't come out, she would be call- ing the police. Officers Simmons and McClellan arrived at the 2013 E. Main residence and observed Jacob Askren leave the home. Simmons saw Askren turn back around and start towards the resi- dence. Simmons reported he knocked on the front door while Sgt. McClellan went around the back of the resi- dence. A juvenile answered the front door and both he and Askren denied the juve- nile was there. They were advised that if they were ly- ing, they would be facing a charges of false informing. At that time, McClellan came from the back of the house with the missing juve- nile that had just exited the back door. A fter being ad- vised of the charges and be- ing asked to put his hands behind his back, Askren stated "no" and actively re- sisted, according to the re- port. Askren was forcibly re- strained and taken to the ground to gain compliance, but continued to scream and kick while resisting hand- cuffs. Askren was taken to the Pike County Jail and charged with Resisting Law Enforcement, False Inform- ing and Disorderly Conduct. McClellan transported both juveniles to the Pike County Jail, where the run- away juvenile was released to the custody of the South- west Regional Youth Village. Search for juvenile results in arrest By James Capozella A call to Central Dispatch at approximately 8:09 p.m. October 31 resulted in an investigation by Pike Coun- ty Deputy Dallas Killian in- to a battery on two women. The incident was later dis- covered to have taken place just inside Pike County. Justin T. Broshears, 26, of 130 W. Washington St., Oak- land City, was charged with battery resulting in moder- ate injury and domestic bat- tery following injuries sus- tained by Tiffany Julian and Danielle Burton at 11501 S. Private Road 1065 E., Sten- dal. The incident took place in Pike County, but early on, it was thought to be in Du- bois County. Dubois Coun- ty Deputy Logan Clark also investigated the incident, in- cluding statements and pho- tos. Both victims had clear- ly sustained bodily injuries and were taken to the hospi- tal, according to Clark's re- port. Broshears was incar- cerated in the Pike County Jail on the two charges on November 7, according to Central Dispatch. Deputy Killian's follow- up on the case resulted in a charge of False Informing against Jessica Naranjo, of 2610 Birk Drive, Hunting- burg, who reportedly asked the two injured women to lie about who beat them up. Broshears arrested for battery By James Capozella Indiana Conservation of- ficers report that Jeremy Legge, 37, of Petersburg, and Adam Daugherty, 30, of Lawrenceburg, were hunt- ing waterfowl in a field near Aurora around 9 a.m. Satur- day when they both suffered shotgun wounds to the an- kles. Officers report that a shot- gun fell over inside a hunt- ing blind and discharged as it fell. Legge and Daugh- erty, who were with two oth- er men, were struck while standing outside the hunt- ing blind. Legge was wound- ed in the right ankle and Daugherty in the left ankle. Legge drove himself to a doctor for treatment and Daugherty was rushed to Highpoint Health Hospital in Lawrenceburg. He was transferred to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Conservation officers re- port that a dog came into the blind and caused the shot- gun to fall over. The gun did not have its safety engaged when it was knocked over, according to the report. Other agencies assisting included the Ohio County Sheriff's Department and Dearborn County EMS. The investigation is still on- going at this point, accord- ing to conservation officers.
