“IS IT TRUE” MAY 15, 2025

IS IT TRUE that it is seldom that the federal government does something that accomplishes exactly what it was meant to at the price that was advertised?…it is also true that most government programs exist perpetually even after they have accomplished what was intended?…there are even laws on the books that should have been canceled or rescinded years ago for obsolescence?…one local community in their zeal to be like the federal government still has a law on the books forbidding the riding of a stud bull in front of a church on Sunday morning?

Read to Succeed: A Storytime with the EPD

0

Summer is coming, school is out, and it’s the perfect time to dive into some great books! The Evansville Police Department has partnered with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library, and Barnes & Noble for its second Summer Reading Series.

Reading plays a key role in children’s cognitive, emotional, and language development — all of which contribute to academic success. In an increasingly digital world, face-to-face interactions like shared reading experiences help build relationships and strengthen social connections.

This summer, students attending EVSC Summer Schools, as well as any interested children, are invited to join the reading sessions held at various Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library branches and at Barnes & Noble. We’re also grateful for the support and generous donation of books from Read Evansville, which helps make this program even more impactful.

We’re excited to read with our community and continue this partnership with local schools, libraries, and Barnes & Noble — all with the shared goal of supporting student success. Attached is a PDF with locations and times. The first reading session kicks off Monday, June 2nd at 5:00 p.m. at Barnes & Noble.

A New Chapter for the City-County Observer?

APRIL 28, 2025

As we prepare to close this chapter of the City-County Observer, many have asked: Is there a future for the publication beyond Ron  Cosby?We stand at the crossroads of a new beginning. The answer is—perhaps. While Ron’s health and shifting priorities have made it necessary for us to step back, we recognize that the legacy of the CCO still holds incredible value to this community. With an established online platform, a loyal following, and a monthly reach of over 180,000 unique IP addresses, the infrastructure remains strong. The audience is engaged. The brand is respected. And the mission is still relevant.

There is no debt associated with the publication. What we’re seeking is someone—or a team—who shares our passion for transparency, accountability, and fearless local journalism. Someone who understands the power of independent voices in an era of consolidation and complacency. Someone who will continue to speak truth to power and advocate for smart public policy.

If you’re a journalist, a media entrepreneur, or a civic-minded leader looking for a platform with history, impact, and community trust, we invite you to reach out and begin a conversation.

In parallel, there are plans underway to compile the best of the CCO—including many never-published exposés and behind-the-scenes stories—into a book that captures the spirit and fire of what this publication has stood for. Those archives will need to be preserved and accessed thoughtfully to honor the work that’s been done and to inform future generations.

So while we are winding down operations for now, the City-County Observer may yet have another life, whether in new hands or on the printed page.Let the next great chapter begin.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Cosby

One Deceased After Burglary Attempt

0

UPDATE: Jaylen M. Drone (21) is in custody and booked into the Vanderburgh County Confinement

Center in reference to this incident. Drone is being charged with Murder and Burglary. The investigation

identified Drone as one of the three suspects who broke into the home in the 3000 block of Sweetser Ave. A

warrant has been issued for the second surviving suspect.

____________________________________________________________________________________

On 5/13/2025 EPD officers were dispatched to the 3000 block of Sweetser Ave in reference to a

Burglary in Progress. The caller stated three subjects broke into their home and their son shot one of them. The

caller did not believe the person who had been shot was alive. The two remaining subjects fled the scene. The

caller provided a description of two black male subjects wearing all black, masks and rubber gloves. The caller

was not present during the incident.

Officers arrived and located the subject who had been shot. It was confirmed that this person was

deceased. Officers cleared the residence to ensure no one else was inside, then secured the home for further

investigation.

The resident who shot the burglar fully cooperated with officers and detectives at the scene. This person

was transported to EPD Headquarters for an official interview. During the interview, the resident explained that

they were inside the home when they heard a loud noise. When they looked to see what the noise was, they sawEvansville Police Department

three armed subjects forcing their way into the home. All three subjects were described as black males, wearing

all black, face masks and gloves. The resident used his own handgun to fire toward the three subjects, striking at

least one as the other two fled the home.

As part of the ongoing investigation, police searched multiple homes and vehicles. These searches

showed evidence of narcotics dealing by Cameron and Christian Thomas. Cameron and Christian were both

arrested and charged with multiple narcotics related charges. The two subjects who fled the scene have not been

apprehended, but there does not appear to be a threat to the general public in this incident. Anyone with

information is asked to contact the Adult Investigation Unit at 812-436-7979 or EPD Tipline at 812-435-6194

Benson shines as Otters fall in middle game

0
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – The Evansville Otters (7-9) fell to the Schaumburg Boomers (12-6) 17-6 Wednesday night at Wintrust Field.

Schaumburg scored two in the first inning to jump out to a two run lead. In the top half of the second, the Otters fought back.

It started with a solo home run off the bat of JT Benson over the left field wall. This energized the offense as the next three reached for Evansville. JJ Cruz had an RBI single to score Pavin Parks. Justin Felix then placed down a perfect sacrifice bunt that scored a run as well.

Alain Camou hit a missile into the right center field gap that earned him an RBI double. After the top of the second, the Otters led 4-2.

Schaumburg would immediately respond with two of their own in the home half of the second, tying the game at 4-4.

In the third, the Boomers exploded for nine runs, giving them a 13-4 lead after three innings. The Boomers added another pair later in the game and entered the ninth with a 17-4 lead.

In the ninth, Evansville scored two thanks to another extra base hit from Benson that scored one, and then a wild pitch which scored another. The rally ran out of time as the Otters fell 17-6.

Benson was a triple shy of the cycle and finished with a 3-for-5 day. Nate Wohlgemuth also got an inning of work and tossed a 1-2-3 eighth frame.

The Otters are back in action for the series finale tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. CT. Listen live on 96.9 WYIR and the Otters Digital Network.
