Science Fun over Fall Break By Sherri Sebella News Editor sherri@pressdispatch.net During Fall Break from Pike Coun- ty School Corporation, the Pike Coun- ty Library had plenty of events for fam- ilies to enjoy in their free time. Kids of all ages were invited to a pumpkin science program Thursday, October 20, put on by Carly Tegmeyer, the Youth Services Coordinator at the Pike County Public library where Teg- meyer made a volcano of different col- ors from the inside of a pumpkin for all the kids to enjoy. Tegmeyer had a variety of pumpkins cleaned out and ready to go on Thurs- day, along with some Dawn Dish Soap, baking soda, food coloring, and vinegar. Kids waited eagerly as Tegmeyer mixed the ingredients and the pump- kin came to life, spilling over the sides in a bubbly, fun mess. What Tegmeyer created was an acid/ base chemical reaction. The vinegar is acidic and the baking soda is alkaline, also called a "base." Whenever you com- bine an acid and a base, the reaction pro- duces a salt and water. In the case of the baking soda and vinegar, there is a sec- ond reaction that produces carbon diox- ide gas. This reaction causes the soapy mixture to bubble over, resulting in a satisfying lava simulation. Kids giggled with excitement as Teg- meyer tried the experiment on multi- ple pumpkins. "What color do you want next? " Tegmeyer asked with a grin. Haiden Cook, 9, and Laramie Teeters, 6 color some Halloween sheets during Fall Break at the library. William Hayes, 8, enjoys some pumpkin volcano science at the Pe- tersburg Public Library during Fall Break.

Chat with Petersburg Police Chief Kyle Mills Petersburg Police Chief Kyle Mills wanted to be able to reach out and communicate with Pe- tersburg residents, so a Chat With the Chief column will be published that Chief Mills writes the last week of every month. We hope you enjoy hear- ing from your local police chief. From September 1 to Octo- ber 15, the Petersburg Police Department had 434 incident reports and/or calls for ser- vice. That is an average of 9.6 a day which is a little above av- erage for us. During this time, our de- partment received a resigna- tion from Officer Tony Neal. We have already had inter- views and plan to hire a can- didate in the coming weeks. We had 11 arrests which in- cluded charges of DUI, Child Neglect, Attempted Murder, Resisting Arrest in a Vehicle, and more. I want to remind parents and children of some basic rules to follow during trick- or-treating. Our Department will have extra patrols out the weekend of trick-or-treating and will also hand out candy and candy sacks at the Peters- burg Police Department locat- ed at 4th and Main Street on the evening of Halloween. 1. Always trick-or-treat with at least one adult 2. Stay in well lit areas. 3. Throw away any un- wrapped candy 4. Look both ways before crossing any street. 5. Never enter the house of a stranger. 6. Only approach houses that have a porch light on. 7. Be safe and have Fun! Petersburg Police Chief Kyle Mills can be reached at 812-354-8511.
