Is it time for your next eye exam? 8–7 . Mon. 8–noon . Tues. 10–7 . Wed. 8–5 . Thur. 8–5 . Fri. Now Locally Owned and Operated Dr. Clint Shoultz 715 S. 9th St., Petersburg 354-9400 wants done beyond what we ordinarily do that he's able to request them," Darrin McDonald said. "They may be capable of doing them there at the Evansville lab. Sometimes you might have to get an outside lab to do it. But if you don't get on top of those things, you can end up losing your trial date." During Tuesday's hear- ing, a hearing on a motion filed by Dysert for a change of venue was set for Friday, March 17, at 2 p.m. Dysert told Meier that he would be filing a brief re- garding his change-of-venue motion by Tuesday, Feb. 25. Darrin McDonald said af- terward that, as of now, he would oppose a change in venue. "It's preliminary, but my position is, until we have a better showing than what we've had before, that there's overwhelming bias or prejudice, I would prefer we keep venue here," Dar- rin McDonald said. "Tom has reserved the right to go out and get some specific in- formation." Darrin McDonald said that he is hopeful that Mor- ton's trial will begin as scheduled. "He's got two counsel who are pretty diligent and we have already done a con- siderable amount of legwork on this end as far as discov- ery," he said. "If we can get all that testing and things done, I think everybody's hopeful that we can get it. One of the problems with Judge Meier is, he's got an extremely busy schedule, so we hope we can stay on this schedule." In November, Darrin Mc- Donald announced that the state will be seeking a penal- ty of life without the possibil- ity of parole if Morton is con- victed of murder.

They don't know anything about these prop- erties," said Brewster. He said he is hopeful once they are notified of the prob- lem, they will have it cleaned up. The ordinance Winslow passed by a 3-0 vote will have a dollar amount for a clean up cost. "We will have to sit down and figure out what that figure will be, but it will be high enough they won't want us to clean it up," said Brewster. A third ordinance passed by the council deals with wa- ter meter security depos- its. Brewster said there is a list of former water custom- ers who made their depos- its when they became water customers. However, they, for whatever reason, are no longer water customers and they haven't collected their water deposits. Some are as little as $2 and date back 50 or more years. "Many of these are dead and long gone," said Brewster. The ordinance will trans- fer those old uncollected water deposits to the Town of Winslow so they can be spent. It passed by a 3-0 vote. In other business, the council reversed a previous decision and stated they would, from that point for- ward, start charging Pato- ka Valley Apartments by the two-inch water meter rate in- stead of the 5/8 inch rate. Councilman Brewster said there was a two-inch meter at the apartments and it was against the town's water rate ordinance to not charge the two-inch rate. He said it appears last month they paid $239 at the 5/8 inch rate, but would have been charged about $505 at the two-inch rate. Tisdale said several months ago they voted to change the water service from the two-inch meter to 5/8 inch, but that hasn't been done. "It needs to be changed back to a two-inch meter. We have discovered we are wrong, wrong as we can be on this. We are charg- ing him $ 30 an apartment and other people $75 per house. We need to go back to what the ordinance calls for," said Tisdale. It was approved by a 3-0 vote. • The council approved a $1 an hour pay increase for Mara Bolin for a maximum of 30 hours a week. • Billy Joe Dillon asked the council if a person who doesn't live in Winslow could serve on the fire depart- ment. Councilman Brews- ter said he wasn't aware of any requirement to live in Winslow. Dillon also asked if a per- son arrested for a felony could be on the fire depart- ment. Councilmen did not answer Dillon. "This town is going to do what it wants to do," Dillon said and left the meeting. • Councilmen approved the claims for the month of $ 32,007.88. They also said the next meeting would be 7 p.m. Monday, March 10, at Town Hall.

Continued from page 1 H Spring primary election ballot set By Andy Heuring Two men were arrested for drunken driving early Saturday morning. A Petersburg man was arrested when police said they saw him driving at a high rate of speed and left of center. Tito Vincent White, 25, of 1312 N. 12th St., was arrest- ed at about 3:30 a.m. by Indi- ana State Trooper John Da- vis. Trooper Davis said he was driving south on High- way 61 when he saw a ma- roon passenger car driving north at a high rate of speed, closing fast on a Dodge Du- rango in front of it, and as he passed the two vehicles, the car was about two feet into the southbound lane. Trooper Davis turned around and stopped the car near Highway 56. He said White was driving the car and when he asked White for his license and registration, White said he didn't have either on him. In Trooper Davis's report, he stated he could smell the odor of alcohol while talk- ing with White and White's speech was slurred. It also stated White said he had about six beers. Trooper Davis's report said White failed two field sobriety tests, and then re- fused a portable breath test and began arguing that he had passed the other so- briety tests. He was trans- ported to the Pike County Jail. Trooper Davis said on the way White repeatedly complained about his hand- cuffs being too tight, but he checked them and they were looser than their policy re- quired. Davis' report also stated White threatened to break out of the car by going through the window. Once at the Pike Coun- ty Jail, authorities learned White was also wanted on a felony warrant in Texas for a drug charge and commu- nity supervision violation charge. Pike County officials said Texas plans to extradite White. In Pike County, he was preliminarily charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, refus- al and being held without bond. Also early Saturday, a Princeton man was arrested on preliminary charges of of operating a vehicle while in- toxicated after he failed to signal a lane change. Clifford W. Rahman, 37, of 693 S. Persimmon Ln., Princeton, was arrested by Trooper Davis. According to Davis, Rah- man was driving south on Highway 61 near Royalty Road when Davis saw him fail to signal lane change. Trooper Davis said Rah- man failed field sobriety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he tested 0.17 percent for blood alcohol content. The legal limit is 0.08 percent in In- diana Tractors for Trenton will offer swim lessons for chil- dren. Registration is Thursday, February 13, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Otwell Community Center.
