WOOD MEMORIAL TAKES ON PIKE CENTRAL Illegal burn yields felony charges Oakland City's Timothy Lance, 59, was arrested Sept. 30 at ap- proximately 7:45 p.m., af- ter a conflict with a neigh- bor during which he al- legedly pulled a handgun. According to the Indiana State Police re- port, Oakland City Fire Department responded to an illegal burn on the property of 123 South Jackson St. Firefight- ers were discussing the city burn ordinance with the homeowner, Anthony Maltimore, 37, when a nearby neighbor, Timothy Lance, 59, approached the homeowner. Lance and Maltimore started to argue over the incident and fire- fighters stepped in between the two men to separate them. Lance produced a handgun and alleged- ly pointed it at Maltimore and to- ward several firefighters. Oakland City Police and Indi- ana State Police responded to the scene. A fter investigating, Troop- er Doug Roberts arrested Lance for intimidation, a level 5 felony and pointing a firearm, a class A misdemeanor. Lance was taken to the Gibson County Jail, where he was later released after post- ing bond. No injuries were reported during the incident. Roberts, of the Indiana State Po- lice, was assisted by Trooper CJ Boeckman and the Oakland City Police. Timothy Lance Baked goods and bazaar United Methodist Women of Oak- land City Good Shepherd Church hosted a fall bazaar with decor and baked goods Saturday at the church. Jonna Isaacs assisted Mar- ilyn Cline with checkout at the ba- zaar, which was well attended, with constant customers from surround- ing towns from Oakland City to Pe- tersburg to Princeton. The baked goods sold out. The group plans an- other bazaar the first Saturday in November to support East Gibson Food Pantry, among other charities. Suicide awareness walk dedicated to those struggling and those lost By Janice Barniak Suicide Awareness walk organiz- er Linda Settle would like to say to those who struggled with or consid- ered suicide but did not execute the experience, that she hopes the per- son knows how glad she is they're still here. "Give life another day," she said in Bicentennial Park Sunday, where the semi-colon statue her family had built in memory of grandson Casey Settle is a place people go to remem- ber him. She told the crowd, in litera- ture, an author chooses a semi-colon when they choose not to end a sen- tence and choose instead to go on, and she hopes those present would all choose to continue living. Carol Blaine attended and helped organize the remembrance walk in memory of her daughter, who died by suicide in 2015. "It's something you can't begin to understand unless you go through it," she said, adding the walk was a great place to be in the presence of people who understood. "The sup- port and the heartfelt feelings are there because they've gone through it."a If she could tell someone like her daughter one thing to discourage them from choosing suicide, she said it would be to not choose a per- manent solution to a temporary prob- lem. "Be there tomorrow. What they're going through, there are people to help and it will pass. What life looks like today is not what it will look like tomorrow." The Rev. Steve Akins, of Hope Community Church, said church- es have work to do as far as dealing with mental health issues, especial- ly in the pandemic. "Isolation does something to peo- ple. Hopelessness is hard to root out of the soul," he said. He shared that his cousin's hus- band died by suicide shortly after having a child. "There was a hopelessness about his life...but there's hope. There's hope in life; hope for the future." He said some churches' answer to all mental health issues is to pray. "We're going to pray and we're go- ing to get help. Turning a blind eye is not the answer. We can't do some- thing for those who have left us, but we can do something for those in front of us." The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours a day in both English and Spanish at 800 - 273-8255. A suicide prevention walk in Bicentennial Park Saturday re- membered those who have died by suicide. Families remem- bered those they have lost.
