Most notably, milk prices have seen a 22 percent decrease in price in the last two years. As you know, while that may be great for shoppers, Indiana's dairy farmers are suffering. You'll also notice an increase in egg prices locally and na- tionally. Grocery store prices inched up slight- ly this spring, according to Indiana Farm Bureau's spring market basket survey. The average cost for a family meal this spring for 10 individuals in Indiana, in- cluding 16 common food items, is $46.72, which is less than $5 per person — up on- ly slightly for 2017, but 13 percent less than in 2016. Of the 16 items, six foods decreased in price when compared to last year. Most notably: • Deli ham, down 83 cents to $5.19/ pound. • Bacon, down 45 cents to $4.23/pound. • Apples, down 34 cents to $1.45/pound. However, 10 items increased in price when compared to last year. Most notably: • Chicken breast, up 69 cents to $ 3.28/ pound. • Eggs, up 40 cents to $1.62/dozen. • Bagged salad, up 25 cents to $2.36/ pound. "Most of the food items that saw an in- crease, while significant when compared to 2017, are quite steady when compared to 2016," explained Isabella Chism, INFB 2nd vice-president and chair of the wom- en's leadership committee. "For exam- ple, a dozen eggs increased by 40 cents when compared to 2017, but this year's price remains 64 cents cheaper than two years ago." According to the USDA's 'food at home and away from home' percentage, a farm- er receives almost 15 cents of each dollar. The farmer's share of this $46.72 mar- ket basket is approximately $7. The re- maining goes to the other parts of the food industry. Shoppers will find that whole milk is roughly four percent cheaper than this time last year. While that decrease seems minimal, milk prices dropped 18 percent last year, meaning milk has seen a 22 percent decrease in price since 2016. While that may sound like good news for shoppers, the dairy industry across the country, and especially in Indiana, is suf- fering because of an overabundance of milk production, a decline in milk con- sumption and increased competition in milk processing. In addition, Dean Foods has notified 100 dairy farms that they will no longer be purchasing milk from them as of June 1. Of the 100 farms affected, 27 of them are in Indiana. "The dairy industry already had a lot on its plate in dealing with low milk pric- es," said Randy Kron, INFB president. "Now, unfortunately, these Indiana farm- ers have the added task of finding a new buyer." "The best way to help alleviate the bur- den on dairy farms in this tough time is to keep buying milk and buy more of it if your situation allows," added Chism. The INFB survey is part of a nation- wide survey compiled by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the nation's largest general farm organization, from data supplied by state Farm Bureaus. The national survey, which is compiled by the American Farm Bureau Federa- tion, shows a similar slight increase in prices. The national survey showed the total meal cost at $51.05, up $1.02 or two per- cent compared to a year ago. Most no- tably, the national results also showed a substantial increase in egg prices, up 37 percent nationally compared to 33 per- cent in Indiana. "A surge in egg exports combined with relatively flat production led to the strong rise in retail egg prices," John Newton, AFBF's director of market intelligence. AFBF has been conducting the infor- mal quarterly market basket survey of retail food price trends since 1989. A to- tal of 93 shoppers (24 of them from In- diana) in 23 states participated in the latest survey, conducted earlier this month.

The good thing about it is, if you have heart is- sues, if you have any medical issues, it doesn't put them in jeopardy. It only works on opioid. If you make the wrong call, it doesn't affect them in anyway," said Baumgart. The policy was passed unanimous- ly by the Safety Board. Petersburg Mayor R.C. Klipsch talk- ed to the City Council and told them he was going to meet with an asset man- agement company later in the week to discuss what services they can offer to the city and invite them to attend the meeting. Klipsch said he talked with one company about their services. He ex- plained that on very expensive infra- structure, like water storage tanks, they require maintenance. "I was told water storage tanks are made to last forever if you maintain them. But you have to maintain them." He said replac- ing them can cost more than $1 mil- lion, and even repainting and or repair- ing them can be several hundred thou- sand dollars. Klipsch said the asset management company puts you on a yearly payment and then does that maintenance, which allows the city to budget for a smaller amount instead of getting hit for sev- eral hundred thousand every 10 years or so. Klipsch said he wanted to see what the company had to offer and also see what kind of plan Petersburg could de- velop on their own. In other business, Klipsch told the council they will need to vote on a reso- lution that authorizes Petersburg to re- ceive the money awarded for the Own- er Occupied Rehab grant. Petersburg received $178,004 for the program. They will have to put up a 10 percent match of $17,800. The next city meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 16 in City Hall. Barr arrested on drug charges after traffic stop By Andy Heuring A Petersburg man was arrested on drug charges after police stopped the car he was riding in and then a searched the vehicle, locating a sy- ringe filled with Suboxone, a con- trolled substance. Jacob Paul Barr, of 1305 E. Main St., Petersburg, was arrested on prelimi- nary charges of unlawful possession of a syringe (prior), possession of a con- trolled substance, maintaining a com- mon nuisance and possession of par- aphernalia. Petersburg Police Cpl. Jared Sim- mons said he stopped a white Chev- rolet S -10 pickup on Main St. after it didn't make a complete stop at the in- tersection of Highways 61 and 57 and didn't use a turn signal. Neither the driver, Logan Kneep, of Washington, nor another passen- ger, Jorie Morris, of Vincennes, had a driver's license. During a pat down of Barr, Pike County Deputy Jason McK- inney located an object in Barr's pants pocket. When Barr removed it from his pants, it was a syringe, he told them it was filled with Suboxone. Knepp and Morris were released. place the Charger Bridge on Cherry St. and be used for foot traffic only. The Charger Bridge, across from McDon- ald's has been closed to vehicle and foot traffic for several years. In other bridge-related business, Ham said a bridge on CR 525 S., which parallels Highway 64 near the Pike- Gibson line, was going to need a new deck. He said he would be bringing that request before the commission- ers in the near future. Highway Department Office Man- ager Melanie Britton told the commis- sioners a new state rule requires her to keep track of where monies from their Motor Vehicle Highway funds are be- ing spent. She said they have to docu- ment at least 50 percent of those funds being spent on the roads. Britton talk- ed to eight surrounding counties that are using a new software package to do that. She said six of the eight are using Softworks and one of the two not using it is switching to Softworks. She warned it was expensive. She said Clay County estimated it would cost $14,000. That amount was met by groans from the commissioners. "We are in the wrong business," said Commissioner President Brian Davis. "There is just something about im- porting $10,000 of software on a $1,000 that seems wrong," said Commission- er Jeff Nelson. Britton said she understands it is ex- pensive, but if they can't prove where they spent the MVH funds, they might not get them the next year. The next meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 16 in the courthouse auditorium.
