Poplar Street, Petersburg NEWS BRIEFS 'Coal Miner's Cry' books are ready to be picked up Beth Bohnert, at Pike Central High School's English De- partment, said copies of the book, Coal Miner's Cry, have been delivered and are ready to be picked up at Pike Cen- tral by anyone who ordered one.

Petersburg hydrant flushing starts next week The City of Petersburg will be flushing hydrants next week. They will start on the South side of Main St. during the week of April 5 -10, and then move to the north side from April 12-16. Flushing the hydrants often stirs up sediment in the system and can cause the water to temporarily be discolored. They recommend not washing any light-col- ored clothes on the days they are in your neighborhood. Pike/Gibson retired teachers to meet April 8 The Pike/Gibson Retired Teachers will meet Thursday, April 8 at the Village Inn, south of Petersburg on SR 57, at noon EDT. This will be their first meeting since December 2019. The entire restaurant will be reserved for the group, which will provide social distancing, along with most mem- bers having completed their vaccination protocols. Masks will be used. A full buffet lunch will be available. New retirees will be welcomed. Those retirees who have passed on will be recognized. A book exchange, "Bring a Book, Take a Book," will liven individual libraries. Retir- ees are encouraged to bring non-perishables for local food banks. Peanut butter is a top candidate since an elderly woman survived on a box of crackers and a jar of peanut butter for a week early in the pandemic. Attendance will be taken by asking each retiree to share something they learned during the pandemic. One fish- erman said after many hours of unsuccessful fishing, he learned fishing was one jerk on one end of the line wait- ing for a jerk on the other end of the line.
