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? 1. Educate yourself on the abortion issue and what it is doing to our society. 2. Talk to your family members and friends and encourage them to support life and not abortion. 3. Support the Right to Life Movement financially and also with your time and talent. 4. 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.

They were notified Tuesday morn- ing their score had quali- fied them for the state fi- nals competition in India- napolis. The team also finished fifth in the qualifying com- petition on Saturday at the Linton Stockton competi- tion. They had an average of 71.67 points. They did not place in the top five in the finals. Team sponsor Nikki Nal- ley said The Roboticons just missed qualifying for the finals. She said they suffered technical prob- lems with their robot dur- ing the competition. They finished 15th in the qual- ifying, despite their robot breaking down. The top 10 teams in the 44-team com- petition made the finals. Roboticons team mem- bers are: Kole Nossett and Clayton Galloway. Pike Central Middle School has five teams in all. The other teams and their places are: Si- ri Squad, consisting of Jaden Baugh, Kaeden Jan- sen, Blaine Barnett and Carter Blackwell, finished 24th; Lady Chargers, com- prised of Alexis Oswalt, Brylee Walker and Lakin Sorgius, finished 30th; and Robaticians, consist- ing of Scott Stuffel, Cart- er McCain, Dietrich Du- nigan and Braden Schul- theis, placed 36th. Nalley said one of the things the judges observe is how the kids deal with ad- versity, such as their robots breaking down. She said they watch to see if they stick together as a team and work through the problem or if they just blow up. Pike Central will be competing in more com- petitions on February 8 and February 15, but on- ly some of their five teams will be competing each weekend. She said robotics is so popular, it is hard to get into the competitions.

Wood arrested on hit and run charge By Andy Heuring A Princeton man was ar- rested on a charge of hit and run following a minor accident Saturday evening. Gregory Wood, 31, of 302 Central Ave., Princeton, was arrested on a charge of leaving the scene of an accident, a class B misde- meanor. Deputy Collier said he was making a traffic stop near Union when he re- ceived the report of the hit and run near Arthur. The vehicle that was hit by Wood followed him north to Highway 61. Petersburg Officer Bryce Manning stopped Wood near Tim- berwolf Lane in Campbell- town. Deputy Collier arrived and talked with Wood, who told Collier he felt his Sat- urn SUV hit something, but he thought he hit a bump. Tayden Schooler said he was driving south on CR 300 E., near CR 550 S., when he saw the Saturn go left of center and hit his ve- hicle, despite him being al- most in the ditch. Collier said Wood's pas- senger Felicia Vickers said she felt him hit the truck and told Wood he had hit the other vehicle and he needed to stop, but he didn't. Wood was taken into cus- tody and transported to the Pike County Jail.
