Ad paid for by Daviess & Pike County Right To Life: P.O. Box 41, Washington, IN. 47501 Email: dcrtl76@gmail.com | Website: www.daviesscountyrtl.com We join our nation in mourning the deaths of millions of innocent lives lost to abortion. We acknowledge the pain and anguish suffered by the many mothers and fathers who now regret that fateful decision. We pray for their healing. We only wish that mothers coming into the abortion chambers could see the "window into the womb" so they could see and understand what they are carrying. If allowed this vision, we believe they would choose life not abortion. How can you help in this battle against abortion? Educate yourself on the abortion issue and what it is doing to our society. Talk to your family members and friends and encourage them to support life and not abortion. Support the Right to Life Movement financially and also with your time and talent. Also, always vote pro-life, find out how the candidates stand on abortion before you vote. If not you may be supporting abortion by your vote. And finally, pray to end abortion.

A Dale man was arrested after police saw him driving 40 mph in a 55 zone and fail to use a turn signal. Keith Verkamp, 22, of Dale, was arrested on a charge of operating a vehi- cle while intoxicated with a prior conviction. Pike County Deputy Paul Collier said at about 9 p.m. Thursday, he was driving on Highway 64 when he no- ticed a truck turn onto High- way 64 without a turn signal. Collier said while following the vehicle, he saw it repeat- edly turn on a turn signal, then not turn and turn off the turn signal. He also noticed it driv- ing 40 mph in a 55 zone and swerving within the lane. When he stopped the ve- hicle and talked to Verkamp, he noticed his movements were lethargic and his pas- senger kept speaking for him. He said Verkamp's passenger, Brandi Caldwell, said they were lost. Verkamp failed field so- briety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he tested 0.138 percent. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08 percent. Deputy Collier also said he found Verkamp was convicted of OV WI in 2015. An Indianapolis teen was arrested for intoxicated driv- ing. She and her passenger were also both arrested on a weapons charge following a 3 a.m. traffic stop on I-69 on Wednesday. Antonette Barnes, 19, of 1083 Tennis Court Circle, Indianapolis, was arrest- ed on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicat- ed, possession of marijuana and possession of a handgun without a permit. Her passenger, Lauren Sullivan, 19, also of India- napolis, was arrested on pre- liminary charges of posses- sion of marijuana and pos- session of a handgun with- out a permit. A male juvenile in the backseat was also tak- en into custody on juvenile charges. Indiana State Troop- er C.J. Boeckman said he pulled over Barnes on I-69, near the 46 -mile marker, af- ter noticing her vehicle's li- cense plate light was not op- erating. He said when he talked to Barnes, he noticed the odor of marijuana in the vehicle. Barnes and her two pas- sengers all denied the use of marijuana initially. Even- tually, Barnes said she had smoked marijuana about two hours earlier. A search of the vehicle found small amounts of mar- ijuana in the vehicle. Troop- er Boeckman, in a probable cause affidavit, stated police also found an empty clip to a Glock pistol. The affida- vit said when he asked the three teens about the clip, they all denied there was a gun in the vehicle. Police then found a loaded Glock .40 caliber pistol with a live cartridge in the chamber. He said all three denied any knowledge of the gun. Barnes failed field sobri- ety tests and was transport- ed to the Daviess Communi- ty Hospital, where she test- ed positive for marijuana. She was then transported to the Pike County Jail and taken into custody. Sullivan and the juvenile where also taken into custody. A Tennessee woman was arrested Friday night after police responded to a two- vehicle accident on I-69. Tanya Jean Butts, 33, of Clarksville, Tenn., was ar- rested by Indiana State Trooper John Davis on charges of operating a ve- hicle while intoxicated and possession of marijuana. According to Indiana State Police, Trooper Davis found Butts to be impaired. She was taken to the Da- viess Community Hospital, where she tested 0.154 per- cent for blood alcohol con- tent. A search of her vehicle also located a small amount of marijuana in her 2014 Chrysler.
