I want to let everyone know this article is not accurate. I have been involved in this matter behind the scenes. Mr. Wilzbacher has been in contact with the people at the State regarding the matter and so have I. The state has been very responsive even meeting with Mr. Wilzbacher at the damn to inspect, reporting no imminent danger. Warrick County approved money to put towards this and the site is being monitored. The site is on private property and the owner of that property is responsible, even with this the state and county have been involved.

I can't think of a better way to celebrate Constitution Day! I enjoyed having dinner with our Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith, former state treasurer Richard Murdock and my dear friend Senator Jim Tomes and his wife, Margie. I would like to thank Right to Life of Southwest Indiana for the seat and Republican Assembly of Indiana Southwest for hosting.

Updates and reminders on Indiana's Safe Haven Law:

Recently, there was a tragic death of an infant in Indianapolis, who was abandoned at a local park. To prevent these terrible circumstances, I wanted to remind you of Indiana's Safe Haven Law. The idea of abandoning a newborn infant is unimaginable. The reality is some parents believe this is their only option, but it isn't.

Under the Safe Haven Law, first passed in 2000, a person can anonymously surrender an infant without fear of arrest or prosecution. This past session, we passed legislation extending the age to be considered a Safe Haven infant from 30 days to 60 days.

The child may be voluntarily left with any of the following:

With an emergency medical services provider by the child's parent In a newborn safe have box.

With medical staff after delivery in a hospital or other medical facility when the child's parent notifies the medical staff that the parent is voluntarily relinquishing the child

Or by calling 911. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a child's parent or a person is unable to give up custody of the child as described above, the child's parent or the person may request that an emergency medical services provider take custody of the child by dialing the 911 emergency call number and staying with the child until an emergency medical services provider arrives to take custody of the child.

The shelter in place order has expired. The immediate area around the incident site remains off limits due to continuing operations and ongoing investigation.

If you experience any large ash or debris that has fallen onto your property from the fire, you’re advised not to touch it, and to call local authorities so IDEM & EPA can analyze it.

Further info will be released on proper cleaning procedures once a full assessment has been completed.

It was an honor to present Administrator Mary Mattingly of
Ascension St. Vincent Warrick with a Proclamation celebrating their 50th anniversary this morning. Having worked for the hospital in the past, I enjoyed the tour and seeing former co-workers and meeting newer staff members.

In 1975, Warrick County Hospital was established in Boonville, Indiana. On August 23, 2025, Ascension St. Vincent Warrick Hospital celebrated its 50th anniversary, commemorating five decades of compassionate, high-quality healthcare. This milestone reflects not only the hospital’s rich history but also its steadfast commitment to evolving and meeting the growing needs of Warrick County and its surrounding communities.

The State of Indiana recognizes the hospital’s enduring mission and pledges to preserve the memory of its contributions as a beacon of faith-based healthcare for future generations.
