“T
Finding the Light
he sun is gone, but I have a light.” Those simple lyrics, written by the ill-fated Kurt Cobain, were printed above my way-tooyoung cousin’s name and the dates of his birth and death. It was perfectly fitting. It was Lindsey that got me listening to Nirvana for the first time. I listened, enthralled, as he explained the lyrics of a somewhat controversal song to his dad. Even after Kurt lost his life to his disease, Lindsey got a tattoo honoring his musical hero. We didn’t know it then, but his life almost mirrored Kurt’s. Lindsey was a brilliant singer, songwriter and guitar player. He actually recorded albums - solo and with a band - and played the scene in his hometown of Bloomington. He wanted it, but unlike Kurt, luck was never on Lindsey’s side. Unfortunately, he even suffered from the same disease. I am certain that calling addiction a disease is controversial. And I will concede that the first hit was a choice. Everything after that, though, was beyond his control. His mom worked in addiction and sex education. He had every opportunity to get better at his fingertips. I don’t know how he actually died, but I had spoken with his sister weeks before and she hadn’t seen him in several months. Addiction is funny like that. My cousin and uncle mourned Lindsey long before he passed. It didn’t save them from the overwhelming grief after, though. It just prolonged it. His memorial service was light on talking about addiction - they chose to remember all the other things that made Lindsey the quirky, brilliant, kind man he was. They did have a station set up to build overdose reversal kits, though. I’m sure that was his sister’s idea and it was compassionate and brilliant. I found out a couple days before the memorial service that Lindsey’s ex-wife and mother of his children had died almost exactly a year before. Both their boys had already been adopted by an amazing family (who brought them to the service) and her family had pretty much given up on her by the time she passed. The whole situation is just tragic. Why tell a story about a man who lived two hours away with very few ties to the area? Because his story is not a unique one. I try hard to showcase the good in our community, but chances are you’ve been directly affected by addiction of some sort. It’s not shameful. It’s not something we need to continue to sweep under the rug. Boonville is home to at least three Narcotics Anonymous meetings a week (according to their website) and we’re a couple minutes’ drive to a renowned treatment facility. There is help and support out there. If you are battling addiction, you have to want to get better. Look around you at those who have always been there, even when you thought they weren’t. You’re worth fighting for.

8 May/June 2022 soprano, she trained at the Hunter College Art Workshop and Patricia Neway’s Opera Class, after attending DePauw University on a president’s scholarship in voice.” At the age of 40, though, Barbara sensed her role in the industry changing. At the urging of a stranger at a party, she went to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, gave her first trial lesson and was hired. “When I became too old to play ingenues and remained too small (4’11” and 85 pounds soaking wet) for leads, I began to teach,” Barbara in a 2020 interview with Broadwayworld.com. “Then I discovered I loved doing it.” Barbara changed the lives of many vocalists around the world in her 45-year teaching career. She began working with Diamanda Galas - an artist known for avant-garde, gothic, rock, blues, rock, jazz and classical crossover - in the early ‘80s. Her friend, Blondie’s Debbie Harry, asked to tag along to a class. “So Debbie showed up one day and she was like a little girl and asked, “Do you mind if I sit
and listen?” And after the lesson was over, she said, “Do you think you might have time for me?” And I said, “Are you kidding me? Of course I have time for you.” She was a wonderful student,” Barbara said in the 2017 interview with Chelsea News. “She studied very diligently. She started in about 1999 when the band [Blondie] was getting back together and was going to tour.” Her personal life was a bit simpler. She and Joe had their only daughter, Katherine, in 1968. She had a son, AJ, in 1993. Katherine passed away in 2003, leaving Barbara and Joe to raise their beloved grandson. Joe passed away in 2017. Barbara mourned his death the only way she knew how - at the cabaret. On March 10, Barbara had just finished a rehearsal at her apartment with several students. She rushed out to catch a late show. A few minutes later, she was a victim of an unprovoked attack. She was shoved from behind and hit her head. She was conscious enough to tell her friends and EMS personnel her name and other information, but became incoherent in the ambulance. AJ rushed to her side, but the trauma was just too much for her tiny 87-year-old body. She passed away March 15. As soon as news of the attack spread, thousands of current and former students, friends and acquaintences flocked to her Facebook page to pay honage to the woman who changed their lives. Multiple news agencies in New York and around the country covered the attack. NYPD
launched an investigation - including a surveillance photo - into who could have brutally attacked an elderly woman. A week after Barbara’s death, her friends and family had a name to the face. Lauren Pazienza is a 26-year-old event planner from Long Island. Witnesses said she crossed the street and called Barbara an expletive before shoving her to the ground. It is alleged she walked away as Barbara laid bleeding, but eventually circled back to watch her being loaded into the ambulance. She spent the next two weeks hiding out. She deleted all of her social media, her wedding website and quit her job. It took her two weeks to turn herself in. She has been charged with first degree manslaughter. Her parents posted $500,000 cash bail. Before she lost consciousness, Barbara was able to tell her friend that it was the hardest she’d ever been hit in her life. Barbara’s Facebook page was again lit up with love and memories. Some expressed

“I have always felt I have lived lives before. The three that I perceive are an embalmer in ancient Egypt, a sea captain and an orthodox cantor.” -Barbara Maier Gustern
BoonvilleView.com 11 anger, some shared overwhelming saddness. Barbara’s grandson, AJ, shared a final photo of him holding her hand. “Today, at 11:15 a.m., we have lost one of the brightest little flames to ever grace this world.” Honoring Barbara on social media is another homage to the person she was. She used it as kind of a diary, posting her thoughts and feelings several times a week. She struggled with the isolation of the pandemic. She continued lessons via FaceTime and Zoom, but missed the face-to-face interactions. Some days seemed more optimistic than others for her. “We are always a part of history, but at this moment we are in sync with centuries before when another version of plague had the upper hand. There was little scientific understanding. People were deemed witches and burned at the stake, blamed for the death of others. And now, in our more ‘enlightened’ world we still blame others and fear others. We still lack basic understanding and are often short on compassion. “Whatever we can do for our fellow humans,
there should be no question of our doing. it. We need to know as much as possible about what we are dealing with so that we may make the most informed decisions possible. We should not be short-sighted looking only to the moment. We should be as aware as possible, as altruistic as possible, as kind as possible. “In these uncertain times, in this unusual historical period, may we have the courage and humanity to truly do our best to care for each other.” Barbara and AJ were able to make one last trip to Boonville in November. She visited Trickey’s - the former home of Maier Hardware - and the store in Chrisney. She visited with family and friends and spent a lot of time visiting cemeteries looking for her ancestors. Just a month before her death and on the eve of her 87th birthday, she offered this prophetic glimpse into her brilliant, creative mind. “I have always felt I have lived lives before. The three that I perceive are an embalmer in ancient Egypt, a sea captain and an orthodox cantor. “This feels like the first time being a woman. It

also feels like the pivitol time to get it right or else. I am not sure what that or else is, but I feel sure there is one. It has taken a long time to make good on this chance to become that human being worthy of whatever better things are in store. I am not bragging, I am only saying that I was given a chance to learn and I think I have. So much of my life had jealousy, self doubt and power struggles. I was blessed to have good parents and family and friends, opportunities, and education. The life I lived was never bad, but there were times when I perceived it as bad. The misseries I felt were of my own making. It took me a long time to figure things out, but once I did my life has been full and happy. I go about my business as I see fit and I am not concerned about being as good as or better than someone else. I do my job to the best of my ability, I care about people, and I strive to make other people welcome in my sphere. Do I fall short, do I make mistakes? You bet I do, but not as many as I used to. I have learned what is important over the years, and on the eve of my 87th year around the sun my wish is to keep learning and keep trying. I truly love life since I have learned to love myself. And what I want to do most is to continue to try to be there for whomever needs me in whatever way I am able Don’t tell me to slow down. Don’t try to carry my bag for me. Don’t assume I can’t do whatever I used to do. I will fight you tooth and nail. Age does not necessarily mean a diminution in the mental or physical. It may mean changes in focus within them. I am passionate about the idea of not judging a person’s ability in any way simply by their age. My birthday wish is that everyone starts to eradicate ageism just as I wish passionately that every one gives up racism and sexism. As long as I have breath, I will try to show up for everyone. I will try to enjoy my life. I will try to keep learning and improving. There are so many people I thank for helping me all through my life. I won’t make a list, but I will try to let you know how much you mean to me and how grateful I am. I was a Sunday’s child who almost didn’t get here. The umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck, my mother was in labor for over 24 hours, and I was blue when I came out. I was allowed to survive for some purpose. I was allowed to live long enought to find purpose. And I’m not done yet!”

PARK IT: 14 May/June 2022
A look at the county’s outdoor havens
SCALES LAKE
Scales Lake Park has a little something for everyone. Want to get back to nature? You’ve got primitive campsites and some with a few more amenities. Want to up your “posing with a fish” album on social media? Take a boat out on the lake and cast a line. Are you outdoorsey but still like amenities like showers, toilets and stoves? Cabins are a perfect blend of nature and shelter. Bring your bike and set out on the 14 miles of mountain bike trails, then cool off with a swim. After lunch, walk over to the petting zoo and get up close and personal with some goats, a donkey, a pony and more. Planning a graduation party, wedding, family reunion, birthday party or other get-together? Scales Lake has a beautiful pavilion or shelter houses available for rent, as well. The property was originally the home of Dr. Travis Scales and his family. They
eventually donated it as a state park after their mansion burned to the ground. The state gave it back to the county and it remains a jewel in Boonville and Warrick County more than 120 years later. The park has annual special weekends and events - the 4th of July and Halloween, for starters. The annual fireworks display regularly draws crowds of 1,000-plus. Admission to the park is $3 per vehicle or $.50 each for those not in a vehicle. It’s an additional $3 per person to get on to the beach (children 5 and younger are free). Annual passes are also available. Senior citizens living in Warrick County are $15 a year. Out-of-county senior citizen are $20. Warrick County resident annual passes are $25, while out-of-count residents pay $30. Annual Boat Launch passes are $30. Annual bike permits and beach passes are also available. More information on these is available at warrickcountyparks.com.

FRIEDMAN PARK
Warrick County’s newest park is possibly it’s most active. Friedman Park was built in 2017. It started off kind of simple but has grown exponentially in its first five years. The original plan was some walking trails, a few picnic pavilions and a playground. Since then, a multi-million dollar event center, a dog park and even more paved trails have been added. The Friedman Park Event Center is a 16,000 square foot conference, event, and community space. Not only does it feature stunning views, it has an 8,000 square foot main hall, classroom
space and a conference room, all complete with the technology needed for almost any event. The Pippero Dog Park opened last November and is open to all fully-vaccinated dogs. In addition to the annual lineup of movies, concerts and special events, Friedman Park is hosting Food Trucks at Friedman every Thursday. The lineup includes local favorites in a fun and laid-back setting. Information is available at friedmanpark.com, along social media.

Harold gunn pavilion
Need a break while shopping? Boonville’s beautiful Johnson Park is a little quiet among the hustle and bustle. The pocket park was built after two buildings had to be torn down on the square. It has since become a favorite for prom and Christmas dance photos, special events and a quaint place to eat lunch. It is named for Dick and Louise Johnson, longtime staples in media in Warrick County. They were philanthropists who regularly helped fund
various causes in Boonville. The gazebo is an homage to Dick, who was a musician in his time away from the newspaper. Harold Gunn Pavilion hosts the Warrick County Farmers Market each summer, along with other special events. It is also a favorite outdoor lunch spot. It’s named after Boonville’s favorite “Buddy,” who passed away several years ago. Be sure to stay up-to-date on the goings on at the park by watching various merchants - and Boonville View, of course - on Facebook.

HORSES &
poodles & a llama, oh my!
Becky Elzer probably could have been a vet. Her love of horses began long before she met her late husband. It was actually a love of hores that introduced her to her husband. “I had two horses,” she said. “I owned a little house in Pelzer and I had two horses on it. I basically met George through horseshoeing. He was not my shoer. Even after I moved in here, he was not my shoer. I had my shoer come in from Owensboro and shoe out of his barn. George said he wasn’t going to do my horses.” The ranch is located in kind of an odd area - right in the middle of town. Horses weren’t always part of the picture. When George Elzer Sr. returned home from WWII, he founded Elzer Oil Company. The family lived in the back of the original business, located on Main Street near the Boonville Junior League fields. Raising horses was another dream of George Sr., so he eventually bought Triple E Ranch. “They started with quarter horses,” Becky said. “George’s passion was the painted horses. So, once his dad passed away, George took over and started raising paint horses. His mom was just basically, she cleaned the barn. That was the end of that. She really didn’t care. I do have a picture of her somewhere on a horse, but you can see that she’s not into it.” The layout today is the same, yet very different. The original Elzer home was actually next door to Becky’s current home. The Bruce family owned the house and piece of property in between the Elzer home and Triple E Ranch. It was George Jr.
who actually purchased the house and moved his home closer to the ranch. “When Mrs. Bruce’s husband died, he and George Sr. had a pact that if they ever decided to sell, they would give the other one first option
22 May/June 2022
to buy,” Becky recalled. “I think George’s dad died first, then Mr. Bruce died. Mrs. Bruce came to George and told him of the pact that they had and said, ‘I will extend it to you. When I decide to sell, I will give you first options at it.’ So, he bought it. He was getting a divorce and needed a place to live and he bought this house.” George Jr. shod horses for around 43 years. He was so well-known that local vets would call and ask for advice. Becky said she learned a lot from him. That went both ways, though. She said one local horse owner called her after her horse went lame. The vet had told her to put it down, but she called Becky for another opinion. “It was only three or four years old,” she said.
“It wasn’t very old. So, I said, ‘Well, let us take a look at it.’ I went over and I looked at it and said, ‘Well, it’s not as bad as you think it is.’ ‘These vets are telling me to put it down.’ I said, ‘Well, you do what you want to do, but let’s get George over here to look at it. I think it’s fixable, but I’m not a ferrier.’ So George went over there and he looked at it and said, ‘I’ll tell you what. If you decide to put this horse down, I’ll buy her from you.’ Well, that’s all it took.” Another vet and George were trying to come up with a game plan, but Becky had a couple of her own suggestions. They ended up doing it her way. That seems to happen a lot for her. Maybe because she is also certified in animal communications. Becky said she’s fully aware that it sounds a little crazy. That’s why she named her business BSC Communications. “I said tell me you don’t know someone who thinks your bat s*** crazy,” she joked. “Why not just embrace it?” George passed away in 2017. She’s since stepped back from the horse world a bit. Now, she’s all about dogs. Becky has started breeding Brittanydoodles, a cross between Brittanys and poodles. She has three poodles of her own, Solo, Salem and, somewhat ironically, George. Becky said she heard that the breeder she gets her poodles from had a red male. When she inquired, she was told that he was not for sale. Then the breeder casually mentioned that his name is George. “My first husband’s name was George,” she said. “His father’s name was George. We got a divorce over a woman by the name of Georgette.
BoonvilleView.com 23 Second long-term relationship, we broke up over a woman named Georgeanne. Second husband’s name was George, his dad’s name was George and his grandfather’s name was George. We had a stud donkey and as soon as I sold him, that woman changed his name to George. That’s my dog.” A week and a half later, it was discovered that George carries a genetic eye defect that can be passed to poodles, but not Brittanys. Becky got her dog. Under her Spellbound Kennel, she has sold puppies all over the country. George just welcomed his first two litters this spring. Besides the normal health checks, Becky said she sends each puppy home with a goodie bag and a little independence, thanks to a kiddie swimming pool. “They will struggle and fall out, but they go straight to the saw dust and potty,” she said. “They don’t want to potty where they sleep. Then they come back and I’ve put little blocks of wood down so they struggle to get on top of the wood. But they teach themselves to come in and out of the swimming pool to potty.” She’s turned her barn into a puppy nursery and part of her outdoor run into a puppy playground. She still has a couple horses and a llama, but she’s enjoying her time with her dogs. “I’m 65 years old,” she laughed. “That’s a lot of work. By the time you’ve got to take a 50 pound bail of hay and throw it up over your head every day and shovel 100 pounds of manure, it’s just hard work. So, I just keep two.”

REMINISCE Coleen Talley and Sheila Poellein.
It was a day to remember. The Warrick County Museum hosted the first Ella Williams School Reunion in April. Many former students walked back through the doors to relive a piece of their childhood. Some former teachers were in attendance, as well. The school served the public for more than 75 years before closing its doors in 1976. The following year, the Warrick County Museum was born. Besides paying homage to the buildiing’s previous incarnation, it sheds light on Warrick County’s deep history with a wide range of exhibits. The Warrick County Museum is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 1 to 4 p.m. and the first and third Saturdays of the month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.
