We hope to raise $1,500 for new books with this book fair. We usually have it during Grandparent's Day, but were unable to do so this year.

Jasper man arrested after eluding troopers in chase A Jasper man was arrested after eluding po- lice, following a chase through Pike and Du- bois counties. State Trooper CJ Boeckman spotted a mo- torcycle rider travelling at a high rate of speed on CR300 North near Jasper. Boeckman pur- sued the rider into Pike County, but stopped when he deemed the pursuit too dangerous. However, a motorist stopped Boeckman and identified the rider as Sterling Kiefer, 20, of Jasper. Police located Kiefer and his motorcy- cle at Kiefer's residence. Kiefer was arrested and charged with resist- ing law enforcement, a Level 6 felony and ag- gressive driving, a Class A misdemeanor. He was taken to Pike County Jail and held on bond. State Trooper Dustin Stein assisted Boeck- man in the arrest.
