We're Confident You'll Stay Cozy By Andy Heuring Six people were arrested for drunken driving over the last week in Pike County. A Jasper man was arrest- ed at about 2:30 a.m. Satur- day after Otwell area res- idents reported a vehicle pulling into their driveways and leaving at about 2 a.m. Kody Neu, 24, of Jasper, was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated by Indiana State Trooper Chase Eaton. Trooper Eaton said he re- sponded to CR 1000 E. and CR 400 N. after residents of that area began reporting a vehicle pulling into their driveways and leaving. He located a vehicle about 20 minutes later that was driv- ing left of center and had ex- pired license plates. Neu failed field sobriety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he tested nearly three times the legal limit, at 0.237 percent for blood alcohol content. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08 percent. He was preliminarily charged with operating a ve- hicle while intoxicated. Trooper Eaton was assist- ed by Pike County Deputy Sheriff Jason McKinney. A speeding stop on Main St., Petersburg, led to the ar- rest of a Rockport man. Kelby Joe Pepmeier, 24, of Rockport, was stopped for driving 43 mph in a 30 zone on Highway 57, near 18th St., in Petersburg, by Petersburg Police Cpl. Jar- ed Simmons. Cpl. Simmons said when he talked with Pepmeier, he noticed the odor of al- cohol and slurred speech, along with poor dexterity and empty beer cans in the floorboard. Pepmeier said he was heading home when he was stopped. He failed field so- briety tests and a portable breath test. Cpl. Simmons said Pepmeier refused a chemical test and was tak- en into custody on a prelim- inary charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, re- fusal. A Washington man was arrested after an off-duty po- lice officer called 911 about a vehicle being driven reck- lessly and speeding, going nearly 90 mph southbound from the 52-mile marker on I-69. Dennis G. Alford, 61, of 111 Jamestown Square, Washington, was stopped by Pike County Chief Kent Johnson at about 4 p.m. Dep- uty Paul Collier said the off- duty officer from Franklin stopped on I-69 and talk- ed with area police, telling them Thomas had changed lanes repeatedly and was driving in excess of 80 mph. Deputy Collier said when police located Alford, he was driving south on I-69 and they saw him go from the right lane into the left with- out a signal, and then back into the right lane again and over the fog line. He said when they stopped Al- ford, they noticed his hands were shaky. He failed field sobriety tests, but tested negative for alcohol. He told police he had half a beer at 7 a.m. and a prescribed Loratab at 8 a.m. The stop was af- ter 3 p.m. He was transport- ed to the Daviess Commu- nity Hospital where he test- ed positive for Oxycodone. Deputy Collier's report stated police located a Clon- azepam pill in his shirt pock- et. He was preliminarily charged with operating a ve- hicle while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance. A Winslow woman was arrested at about 10 :45 p.m. Thursday after police stopped her on Highway 61, near Sugar Ridge Road, for having a headlight out. Janet Paradis, 57, of Win- slow, was arrested by Troop- er Eaton. Paradis failed field so- briety tests and was tak- en to the Pike County Jail, where she tested 0.137 per- cent for blood alcohol con- tent. She was preliminarily charged with operating a ve- hicle while intoxicated, with a prior conviction in the last five years. Last Wednesday night, a rural Petersburg man was arrested after he hit a rail- road crossing arm on High- way 61, south of Winslow, and then fled the scene on foot and ran into the woods. Gregory P. Charlton, 52, of 2551 W. CR 125 S., Peters- burg, was arrested at about 9 p.m. Wednesday. Pike County Deputy Sher- iff Buck Seger said Trooper Eaton arrived at the scene first and talked with wit- nesses, who said Charlton had hit the railroad cross- ing arm and jumped out of his truck, then ran east on the railroad tracks and into the woods. Deputy Seger said he and K-9 Officer Bleck tracked Gregory down the tracks, across a stream, into the woods and found him hid- ing under some brush. Deputy Seger said Greg- ory did not obey commands to show his hands. So Troop- er Eaton forcibly placed him into handcuffs. Deputy Seger's report said while police walked Gregory out of the woods, they could smell the odor of alcohol and noticed slurred speech. They said Grego- ry told him he had "way too much too drink." He said he didn't know why he ran from the scene. Deputy Seger said when they asked him if he regret- ted running, he answered he regretted "stopping." A fter the EMS checked him out, he was taken to the Pike County Jail, where he tested 0.157 percent for blood alcohol content. He was preliminarily charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an ac- cident and resisting law en- forcement. A Winslow woman was ar- rested after she crashed in- to the back of a parked car just a short distance from her residence on Jefferson St., Winslow. Patty J. Bruce, 46, of 201 N. Main St., was arrested at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 21 by Trooper Eaton. He said he responded to the report of a crash in Win- slow and found Bruce sit- ting on the passenger side of her 2016 Dodge Ram truck, which had hit a black 2005 Ford F150 that was parked on Jefferson St., near Pato- ka River Fitness. He said when he asked where she was coming from, Bruce re- sponded, "not from the Bob Inn." She failed field sobri- ety tests and was taken to the Pike County Jail, where she tested 0.221 percent for blood alcohol content. The legal limit is 0.08 percent. Winslow Town Marshal Steve Nelson said the truck she hit was owned by Stacy Whitehead. Six arrested for drunken driving in separate incidents Harris said, 'Give it a try." "I made six for him the first week, and I just made my 400th," said Mann. Mann is a graduate of Pur- due University where he ma- jored in industrial design and drafting. Most of his life Mann has been involved in making furniture. He has worked in quality control for several years for a couple of companies in Jasper. Now he works for the Jasper Group, which makes various types of furniture. He works now as a specifier, doing draw- ings and putting together bids, and he was previously a cost engineer. He makes cheesecakes on Monday evenings after he gets off work from his day job. While manufacturing fur- niture and baking cheese cakes might seem like two separate worlds. Mann said he has been able to apply a lot of the techniques for keeping manufacturing fur- niture efficient to keeping cheese cake baking effi- cient. He used baking choc- olate chip cookies as his presentation during a qual- ity control seminar. He said he explained how changing small variables like using melted butter or unmelted butter, brown sugar or white sugar made a big difference in the final outcome of the final cookie. "He must have liked it because he asked me for a copy of it," said Mann. Now, after making 400 cheesecakes, Mann no lon- ger needs the recipe. Some of the techniques he has been able to use are in the supply chain. When he start- ed, he said he would have small amounts of ingredi- ents left over. But now he has it worked out so exact- ly, four packages of cream cheese makes six cheese cakes. He also brings in technology. He uses Siri on his Apple watch to set tim- ers so he can verbally set his timer and doesn't take time to wipe the cream cheese or melted butter off his hands to set a timer. Other things he has learned include, "You can beat the fluff out of cheese- cake until you put the egg into it. Then you have to be careful," said Mann. He said he tries to mea- sure closely on ingredients. "I don't want someone to come in and say they were better last week and than this week." "I wish I could say it was an old family recipe, but It isn't. It was kind of a mix of different recipes." He took the best from each of the recipes and also used the ones that had amounts he could break into even amounts with his raw ingre- dient amounts. That way he doesn't have leftovers. Mann said he got his inter- est in cooking from his par- ents, Don and Phyllis Mann. "Mom was a good cook and Dad was, too. Mom worked a couple of night shifts a week so on those nights Dad would cook supper." He said he was usually in the kitchen with his Dad. While Mann does all va- rieties of food, his real pen- chant is for baking. "There is just something magical about making something out of yeast." He said he makes a cou- ple of the standards each week, but he also takes sug- gestions from customers. "Some of our most popular ones have been customer suggestions," said Mann. He added that while he makes the cheese- cakes taste good, Angela Baumgart, who works full- time at Cakes and Coffee is the one who makes them beautiful. More than 1,200 broken eggs into his night job, he is still enjoying it and glad he said yes to a friend's out-of- the-blue phone call. or we are going to lose the whole street," said Gayhart. He suggested taking out a pipe that was put in several years ago and put the ditch back in that was there before the pipe. Brewster asked if that would cause it to cut un- der the road. Gayhart said it didn't before. Councilmen told Gayhart to take care of it. Animal Control Officer Bill Marshall said he want- ed permission to take young- er dogs to PAWS for $ 30 in- stead of having them euth- anized. He said PAWS re- quires them to be neutered or fixed and that fee was $ 30. "They are nice ani- mals. I hate to have them put down," said Marshall. The Council agreed to let him take them to PAWS. CLEAN SWEEP APRIL 6, 7 AND 8 Stacy Russell announced the Winslow Volunteer Fire Department and Town Council had agreed to have a Clean Sweep Day. She said they have rented a dump- ster and will pay the dump- ing fees for the project. Fire- men and others have volun- teered to pick up residents' bagged trash on those three days. The trash must be bagged and moved to the street side. Residents should also call Town Hall and let them know they want trash picked up. By James Capozella A 47-year-old Jasper resi- dent was arrested near the SR 57 and CR 125 S. inter- section Sunday evening by Oakland City Police and Pike County Sheriff Deputy Mike Willis. John Bottorff, of 918 W. 41st St., Jasper, was arrested after the Gib- son County Sheriff's Office notified Pike County Cen- tral Dispatch that an Oak- land City officer was look- ing for a northbound Toyota that was brake checking ve- hicles in traffic at the coun- ty line. Pike County Deputy Sher- iff Mike Willis went search- ing for the vehicle and lo- cated Bottorff behind the wheel of a running Toyota, that matched the descrip- tion given, on Hwy 57. He was found holding a can of air duster in his left hand, according to Willis' report. The report also states Bottorff was found holding his breath, his cheeks were inflated and his face was bright red. He failed field sobriety tests. When Willis asked him what was going on, Bottorff stated he was upset and he had stopped alongside the road to huff. He also said he had just been arrested in February for huffing in Jasper. He was arrested for inhaling toxic vapors and then transport- ed to the Pike County Jail. By James Capozella Christopher Stepanek, 21, of 5444 N.
