WINNERS OF THE AUTUMN BARN FARMS POPCORN AUGUST 1-to 15 BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY DRAWING
WINNERS OF THE AUTUMN BARN FARMS POPCORN AUGUST 1-to 15 BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY DRAWING
When Chris Wintner and his wife, Kristy, settled in Evansville after leaving military service, he was disappointed to learn that Uncle Mark’s Popcorn had burned down and was not being rebuilt. Chris had always looked forward to his family sharing a tin of Uncle Mark’s popcorn during the holiday, the way he had done when he was younger. That gave the veteran an idea. He decided to build a business that would feature the same kind of high-quality gourmet popcorn that Uncle Mark’s had offered.
That was in 2012. Now Chris and Kristy are the proud proprietors of Autumn Barn Farms Popcorn. They operate the business at 1442 N. Green River Rd. with the help of their two daughters. They offer 27 different gourmet flavors in three different sized bags and refillable tins that range from a half gallon to three-and-a half gallons. A discount is offered to weddings and parties of 50 or more. Chris offers an everyday discount of 10% to his fellow veterans and seniors.

FROM 1976 – ?
Katrina S. Mann has served Posey County for forty years. She has worked in the County Assessor’s office, the Prosecuting Attorney’s office, County Court and Circuit Court. She has been a bailiff, probation officer, transcriptionist and court reporter.
Katrina has experience in every aspect of all court reporting functions. Currently she is the resident expert in criminal proceedings, guardianships and probate (estate) matters. Litigants and even attorneys rely upon Katrina for help with complicated questions that ofttimes nobody else seems to know how to answer. Judges also sometimes look to Katrina for help in dealing with the briar patch of arcane legal jargon and convoluted regulations. I know one judge quite well who turns to her frequently and has for forty years.
Katrina grew up in West Franklin in what once was rural Posey County. Society has unrelentingly encroached upon Katrina’s bucolic bliss. Today the once small settlement of West Franklin looks more like the west side of Evansville. Regardless, Katrina and her family continue to enjoy the home they have had since before the power plant started operations.
It is not possible to overstate the critical role Katrina has played in the Posey Circuit Court during my service on the Bench. She is a person of absolute integrity, reliability, discretion and sound judgment. She has always put the needs of the Court and the people we serve above her own. This has been good for the public but sometimes not for Katrina.
Katrina is a graduate of Mt. Vernon High School and has attended the University of Southern Indiana. Through hard work on her own time she has acquired numerous skills in the use of modern court technology such as Sten-O-Cat Court Reporting that is required in Indiana for death penalty cases.
Katrina is quiet, patient and friendly. Should one need help with a criminal, or probate or guardianship matter they should first consult their lawyer. However, if you want to know where the Judge goes for help, check with Katrina.

Lt. Governor Holcomb joins FSSA Secretary John Wernert, Community Health Network Executives to Break Ground on new Neuro-Diagnostic Institute
New state-operated hospital, located on Community Hospital East campus, will diagnose and treat 1,500 Hoosiers with mental illnesses and addictions each year
Indianapolis – Lt. Governor Eric Holcomb today joined Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Secretary Dr. John Wernert and executives from Community Health Network to break ground and officially begin construction on the state’s new neuro-diagnostic institute and advanced treatment center. The $120 million state-of-the-art facility located on the campus of Community Hospital East will have 159 beds and the capacity to treat up to 1,500 patients a year. The institute, announced by Governor Mike Pence last December, will be a key component of the state’s initiative to improve Indiana’s network of state-operated mental health facilities and result in major advancements to Indiana’s public mental health services delivery system. The project is a centerpiece of the work of the Governor’s Task Force on Drug Enforcement, Treatment, and Prevention.
“I’m proud that Community Health Network, members of our Task Force on Drug Enforcement, Treatment, and Prevention, and local community leaders in the field of mental illness and drug abuse disorders have come together today to break ground on the first-ever Neuro-Diagnostic Institute,†said Governor Pence. “The scourge of drug abuse affects Hoosiers all across our state, and I’m confident that this new institute will serve as an example of our state’s commitment to recognizing and embracing advances in brain research and improving clinical care for those troubled with mental illness and addictions.â€
Lt. Governor Holcomb and FSSA Secretary Wernert were joined by community and government leaders as well as members of the general public who have supported his efforts to improve access to high-quality mental health care. The new institute serves as the cornerstone of the Governor’s ongoing commitment to improve mental health care and address the scourge of addiction in Indiana.
“This facility will quickly become the envy of the nation, a center of excellence where industry best practices including modern genetic and imaging techniques will result in the most efficient and accurate patient diagnoses possible,†said Dr. John Wernert, Secretary of the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). “The ability to develop better and more comprehensive diagnoses will help determine the best treatment plans, which maximize recovery and promote stable community placements and better outcomes for patients.â€
The focus of this new institute will be on the precise diagnosis and assertive treatment of brain-based disorders, including:
- acute and chronic mental illness
- chronic addictions
- intellectual and developmental disabilities
- traumatic brain injury
- neuro-degenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease
Construction will begin immediately, and the new facility is expected to open for patient admissions in late 2018. It will eventually replace one of the state’s six current facilities, Larue Carter Hospital in Indianapolis, which will be phased out of operation.
“The Neuro-Diagnostic Institute complements the vision for behavioral health care that we developed here at Community,†said Bryan Mills, president and CEO of Community Health Network. “As the state’s largest provider of behavioral health services, we strongly believe in a holistic approach to medical and behavioral health care, and so do those planning the NDI. We’re looking forward to providing these much-needed services to the communities we serve and our entire state, by aligning our resources with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.â€
Additional information about the new Indiana Neuro-Diagnostic Institute is available on FSSA’s website at http://www.in.gov/fssa/dmha/2935.htm.
