BRAZIL – Indiana sheriffs and students will next week name three amenities at their nonprofit Youth Ranch for key volunteers and supporters of their 62-acre training retreat under development for future law enforcement officers, at-risk kids, young witnesses, and victims of crime:
- Ripley County Search & Rescue Training Center will be dedicated by Sheriff Jeff Cumberworth in honor of longtime, dedicated employee Paul Wells and to law enforcement and fire-EMS first responders from Ripley County, throughout Indiana and across America.
- Susan & Mark Allen Youth Orchard will be named for two frequent ISYR donors, youth and nature lovers who are lifelong medical and law enforcement professionals from Indianapolis.
- Joshua Gephart II Climbing Wall will be named for an Eagle Scout candidate from Owen County who envisioned, designed, and built the 20-foot structure to help Indiana youth visiting ISYR build confidence, strength, and comradery.
Signage will be unveiled at noontime during ISYR’s free Pumpkin Painting Party for K-6 students. The safe, annual Halloween event will be hosted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at ISYR, 5325 North State Road 59, south of Brazil, Ind.
Costumes are encouraged, but not required. Free pumpkins, paints, refreshments, and parking will be provided.
