ACCIDENT Continued from page 1 not seriously injured. Joesph Burkhart, 50, of 908 E. SR 356, Petersburg, was driving the truck. Cpl. Wright said Pike County Deputy Mike Willis had lo- cated Burkhart, who had parked his truck a couple blocks from the scene and returned to the scene with his passenger, Jason De- Weese. According to Cpl. Wright's affidavit, Burkhart said he had been bowling. Wright, in the affidavit, said when he asked Bur- khart directly if he had been drinking, Burkhart ad- mitted he had three drinks while bowling. Wright said Burkhart failed field sobriety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he test- ed 0.157 percent for blood alcohol content. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08 per- cent. He was preliminari- ly charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The Annual Pike Coun- ty Ag Day Breakfast has morphed into the Southern Indiana Ag Day Meal. In the past, the Pike County Young Farmers, The Pike Central FFA, Purdue Extension and The Pike County Farm Bu- reau, Inc. co-sponsored the breakfast. This year, it will be a supper and, because it now includes groups reach- ing outside Pike County, it has become the Southern In- diana Ag Day Meal. It is scheduled for 4 to 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 23 at the Otwell Communi- ty Center. Instead of serving a breakfast for $1, they are now serving a supper that in- cludes pork chops, turkey ten- ders, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, coffee, drinks and desserts for $ 3. The price roughly rep- resents what the farmers would get for those prod- ucts at market. They will also have a leg- islative question and answer session. Eighth District U.S. Representative Larry Buc- shon, State Senator Mark Messmer, and State Repre- sentatives Shane Lindauer, Matt Hostettler and Ron Ba- con are scheduled to be in attendance. They will talk about various legislation being considered by their branch of government and answer questions beginning at 6:30 p.m. Other activities include: free health screenings, an- tique tractor display, and a bounce house and obstacle course for kids in the gym. If you would like to have a booth, or donate to this event, feel free to call the Pike County Purdue Coop- erative Extension Office at 812-354-6838. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this pro- gram, prior to Ag Day, con- tact David Ackley at 812- 354-6838. Pike County Ag Day meal planned for March 23 GRANT Continued from page 1 have the building you de- signed and need. We don't want you to have a bare bones building." Lisa Gelhausen, Execu- tive Director of Indiana 15 Regional Planning Commis- sion, which is administering the grant, said she has nev- er heard of the EDA doing this before. It is under review and it made it to through the first review. Now it has made it to the second. "They see the need. They understand what that entre- preneur and tech center will bring to Pike County. We are very fortunate EDA is guid- ing and advancing this to try and make it a reality," said Gelhausen. She said the new applica- tion is going through the in- vestment review committee right now and they should hear official word on the new grant application in the near future. SCHOOL Continued from page 1 McKinney moved to ap- prove the project and its fi- nancing. Satterfield second- ed it and it was approved by a 4-1 vote, with McKinney, Satterfield, Steve Potter and Howard Knight voting for it. Forrest Manning vot- ed against it. School bus complaint lodged Leland Swain complained to the school board that school bus #4 and # 6 were driving into his alley and talking to each other. He said it was causing damage to his property by causing the grass "to be humped up." He said he was going to have to have his yard smoothed out before he could mow it. He said the buses sit there as long as 45 minutes. "I believe we can say, we will definitely look into the this. It is the first I have heard of it," said McKinney. In other business, Super- intendent Blake announced several donations. They in- cluded: Mt. Olive Church giving $266, Glezen Reviv- al Center donating $500 and Sts. Peter and Paul $ 300, all for the Swing Choir. She said they also re- ceived a $2,000 grant from IN-MaC Manufacturing Mi- cro Grants Program, which has an objective of provid- ing financial support to busi- nesses and organizations in Indiana who implement cre- ative projects that enhance youth exposure and experi- ences to manufacturing. The board voted 5 -0 to purchase new student per- formance tracking software from Harmony for $ 35,000. It was one of four bids sub- mitted by similar compa- nies. The software will man- age: student records, sched- ules, attendance, grade book, transcripts, progress reports, discipline reports, health records, letters, text- book fees and family access. It also included three days on-site training, server set up and basic data conver- sion. Satterfield, who teach- es in the Southeast Dubois Corporation, said he uses Harmony there and gave it high praise. The other systems consid- ered were Alam for $24,486, Skyward for $ 63,605, and PowerSchool for $24,735. Harmony also had the low- est annual fee of $ 9,750. The total cost over five years will be $74,000. The board also voted to purchase a new 2019 F-500 Ford truck for $ 33,729.50. In personnel matters, the board accepted Doris Har- ris' resignation effective June 1, 2019. They also hired Jorden Froderman as a Spe- cial Education teaching as- sistant at Winslow Elemen- tary School, Jacob Western as an instructional assis- tant at Pike Central Middle School retroactively on Feb- ruary 19, 2019 and approved Rachel Kessen to be a fill in teacher for a Petersburg El- ementary School teacher on medical leave.
