As we left we were given some to- matoes and a lemon zucchini bread that was so delicious it didn't even las an evening.

The Indiana Ice Manufacturers Association pre- dicts that if the hot weather does not break Friday, the state will have used their reserves.

SIXTY YEARS AGO The Pike County Dispatch Thursday, August 23, 1962 Long Distance Telephone Rates Lowered: The Public Service Com- mission announced last week a fill- ing of a new schedule of rates for intrastate long distance service by Midwest Telephone company and all other telephone companies oper- ating in Indiana. The new schedule which is proposed to be effective October 1, would result in a saving of approximately $1,500,000 to In- diana telephone users during 1963. Rates on day time station-to-station calls between 4:30 a.m.-6 p.m., beyond eight miles, would be the same as the rates for interstate calls of the same distance. Rates for sta- tion-to-station calls between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. and Holidays remain gen- erally un-which are also applicable Sundays changed. Also the (Hoo- sier Night Rates), which permit cus- tomers to talk twice as long from one Indiana telephone to another for the regular three-minute eve- ning station-to-station charge will remain in effect. These rates apply between the hours of 9 and 4:30. Some three-minute person-to-per- son calls would be reduced 20 ¢, many others would be reduced ten cents.

Rick and Robert had gone to Brewster Branch to join their fa- ther-in-law, Newton Thompson and brother-in-law, Charles Nixon, to hunt squirrels. Rick had just gotten out of the car on the driver's side and had walked around the back of Robert when the accident occurred. The blast from the shotgun made a large hole on the outside and much larger on the inside of the car door. Fragments of metal were scattered all over the inside of the car and broke the windshield.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO The Press-Dispatch Thursday, Aug. 24, 1997 Area Police Solve At Least 19 Bur- glaries; Have Five In Custody: Area police have solved what has grown to at least 19 burglaries as of Tues- day morning and have fire men in custody. The burglaries date from December 1996 to Tuesday the day before police took the men into cus- tody. Police got a break when Shane Randolph of Petersburg and Hiram Michael Knight of Oakland City went into Service Merchandise of Evansville and tried to make pur- chases with a check stolen from Matt Hays truck. They showed Hays drivers license as identification for the check. But an alert clerk noti- fied the photo ID did not look like the person displaying it. The clerk said he would have to check to see if he could accept the check and went back to the office. Service Merchan- dise called Matt Hays and asked him details about age and address and if he had his drivers license. Hays had not yet noticed it was gone. Peters- burg Officer Joe Hill said Service Merchandise called for security to get Randolph and Knight. Hill said Randolph and Knight gotten impa- tient and went outside and left driv- ing by the security as they drove towards Service Merchandise. Hill said after talking to the credit card company found Randolph and Knight had been to Circuit City and JC Penny before going to Service Merchandise trying to buy elec- tronic items. He said he and Peters- burg Sgt. Russell Green developed a suspects folder and took pictures to Evansville where each store clerk identified Randolph. Randolph was taken into custody for questioning. Police then arrested Stacy Jenkins, Christopher Hatt, Michael Wilson and Mike Knight. They found sto- len items hidden in remote wooded areas, under remote bridges and in abandoned houses accumulated from the burglaries back to De- cember of 1996. They "filled a van" with items recovered from Knight's house. Hildebrand estimated sever- al hundred items were confiscated from Knight. Hildebrand said there were 19 residences that they knew of. Not all of the men were involved in each burglary. Sometimes only one person and other times two or three were involved. Hildebrand said this was one of the farthest reaching theft rings he has inves- tigated. He said Petersburg Police, the Pike County Sheriff's Depart- ment and Indiana State Police were involved in investigation. All of the recovered items will be compiled and victims will be notified within the next week or so to identify what belongs to them.
