Rostron was traveling west on SR 56 and was ne- gotiating a turn when he ran off the road, causing his 1991 AMF H-D to tip over. Rostron was not wearing a helmet and was ejected from the bike, striking his head on the roadway. Depu- ty Killian was assisted by Pe- tersburg Police Officer Scott Wright.

On Saturday at 8:59 p.m., Justin Pride, of Petersburg, was traveling north on CR 125 W. and came over a hill, went left of center and ran off the road, striking a tree, according to Pike County Sheriff Deputy Paul Collier. Pride's 2013 Kia Sorento came to a stop with the front of the vehicle facing east in the middle of the road, ac- cording to the report. Pride was trapped and extracted by first responders, then transported to Deaconess Hospital for a left arm in- jury. The passenger, Lacy Drew, of Winslow, was also transported for minor inju- ries. Pride sustained a frac- ture or dislocation of the el- bow and lower arm. He was cited for a class A infraction and possession (IC 9 -24-19 -1 and 35 -48 -4-11). Deputy Col- lier was assisted by Deputy Dallas Killian and Indiana State Trooper Hunter Man- ning. Vehicle damage was estimated between $5,000 and $10,000. On Sunday at 2:50 p.m., Kristopher McDonald, of Petersburg, was traveling east on CR 125 S., nearing CR 250 W. when he stated that a vehicle came over a hill at the same time he did and ran him off the road. Deputy Dallas Killian in- vestigated the single vehi- cle accident, estimating the damage at between $10,000 and $25,000. Killian was as- sisted by officers Collier and Mills. A 9:30 p.m. Sunday, a crash on SR 61 near the beltline, just north of CR 50 N., resulted in nasty road rash and some head trau- ma to Patrick Mason. Indi- ana State Trooper Corey Ris- ley reported Mason said he tried to swerve his scooter to avoid a deer, hit a piece of metal on the road and laid his scooter down. Mason was transported for treat - ment of his head injury. Five weekend crashes leave four injured Indiana State Troop- er John Davis reports that Timothy Kline, 18, of 211 N. Main Street, Winslow, was driving south on Me- ridian Road, near 75 S., at around 11:45 a.m. Tuesday. Davis reported that Kline was driving a white 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix when he lost control on the rock road and went off the road on the east side, hitting a tree. The vehicle rolled over once and came to rest on the pas- senger side. Davis reported that Kline had a few scratch- es but refused medical treat- ment. The car was totaled, according to the report. Earlier on Tuesday morn- ing, at 9:55 a.m., Victoria Elenbaas of 411 North Sev- enth, Petersburg, was driv- ing a Dodge van and pulled out from Lake Minnis, turn- ing east on CR 550 N accord- ing to Trooper John Davis. Elenbaas drove into the path of a black Ford F-150 pick- up driven by Dixie Henson of Lake Minnis Dr. Peters- burg. Her truck was struck by the van according to a re- port from Davis. There were no injuries. By Andy Heuring A man believed to have burglarized the Fish Hut and Smokehouse 423 restau- rants on April 24 of this year has been arrested on war- rants from West Virginia. Petersburg Police Chief Chuck Baumgart said the man was arrested by Indi- ana State Police at a Dale area hotel. According to Baumgart, it started when West Virginia State Police contacted Indiana State Police about the man they wanted on numerous felony charges, including burglary. Baumgart said West Vir- gina Police told Indiana State Police the man had registered for his license plate tags to be sent to an In- diana Post Office box. West Virginia held up the mailing of the tags until ISP was able to put it under surveillance. ISP was able to follow him to a Dale area hotel. Baumgart said when po- lice saw him at the hotel, they realized he looked like the guy in the Petersburg burglary surveillance cam- era shots. Then when they took him into custody, in his vehicle they found nu- merous tools typically used in burglaries. They also recovered ev- idence that was collected and sent to a crime lab. "We are in the process of build- ing a case against him," said Baumgart. He said West Vir- ginia has charges that will carry sentences of more than 20 years. Baumgart said the man was born in and lived in West Virginia, but his crim- inal record shows he travels from coast to coast burglar- izing businesses. Man arrested in West Virginia is suspect in local burglaries No injuries in Tuesday crashes By Andy Heuring Winslow Town Council- men signed a project de- velopment agreement with Johnson Controls of India- napolis to look at major up- grades to their existing wa- ter treatment plant during their Monday night meet- ing. They were pitched a plan that wouldn't raise tax- es or water rates. Tom Hogan of Johnson Controls said over the next 45 days Johnson Controls will look at ways to fix the Winslow water system prob- lems, even including an al- ternative method of deliver- ing water. "We throw every- thing on the board," said Ho- gan. Then they will present all of Johnson Control's en- gineers' ideas and propos- als to the town council. The council, jointly with John- son Controls, will evaluate these ideas on two criteria: what is the monthly savings of the improvement versus the current system, and how long will it take for the sav- ings to pay for the proposed improvements. Hogan said they have 20 years for the savings to pay for the improvements. "We have to make sure every- thing pays for itself in 20 years," said Hogan. He told the county Mon- day night, "I take all the risks." Hogan explained the sav- ings rendered by the im- provements would be fig- ured with a 20 percent cush- ion, because Johnson Con- trols would only be paid for the improvements by what the town saves. He said it would not increase the town's rates. Hogan said in some cas- es, municipalities have been able to lower their water rates. Some of the improve- ments include changing to well water as a source in- stead of pulling the town's water from the Patoka River. Hogan said the Indiana Department of Environ- ment Management has told communities they want all of them to move from surface water toward well water. Hogan said it works in most areas, but it doesn't work everywhere, but it is one of the things they con- sider. Another one is getting au- tomated water meters. This will reduce the need for me- ter readers. He said they will also look at other ways to improve effi- ciencies in the water depart- ment. Councilman Dick Brews- ter asked Hogan if Winslow was locked into the same amount of savings each week for retiring the debt of the water systems. Hogan said if they have more savings the town could use that to pay off the amount owed earlier. "I'm not worked about that, I'm worried about if we don't have the money to meet the payments," said Brewster. Hogan said Johnson Con- trols' savings were going to be 20 percent light. "You will get 20 percent more benefit than we are going to guaran- tee. I don't like not making the savings target,' said Ho- gan. He said when the sav- ings are not what is project- ed, Johnson Controls doesn't get paid. Hogan explained the pro- cess. The first step was Win- slow put out a Request for Proposals under the Indi- ana Cost Savings Act. Johnson Controls submit- ted a request and was the on- ly proposal. Winslow entered into the project development agree- ment. He said when they come back with their engineering plan, they will work "hand- in-hand" with Winslow coun- cilmen to develop a plan. If they are able to find cost savings sufficient to pay the costs of the improvements, Winslow can decide not to do the improvements.
