BENTON – State Auditor Crit Luallen last week released the audit of the 2010 financial state- ment of Marshall County Sheriff, Kevin Byars. State law requires the Auditor to annually audit the accounts of each county sheriff. The audit revealed the Sheriff ’s expenditures exceeded receipts by PEOPLE $57,837. Byars said the shortfall is largely a result of a downward trend in taxes and fees for services such as car inspections and civil processes, areas which are very dif- ficult for him to predict. — Jody Norwood/Tribune-Courier Also noted in the audit was an over-expenditure for payroll for Marshall County Animal Shelter employee Misti Wagner shares a playful moment with potential adoptive pet Gypsy.

All this was done, remember, in strict segregation between men and women, and between Shakers and the rest of the world. The mind boggles at the possibility. In any event, the village, along with its colony in Logan County (Shaker Village at South Union) died out and was sold off to “the world”. Many of the fine old buildings burned or just rotted away. In 1961, a Kentucky businessman decided to try to save what was left, and began to buy up the old places and restore them. While several of the wooden buildings were gone, it proved possible to resurrect many of the stone and brick structures. Today (and for several years) it is possible to once again sleep in the wonderful old “family” dwellings, tour the shops and eat Shaker meals in the Trustees. It is one of the most peaceful and most beautiful places this writer has ever spent time in. It is well worth the trip to Mercer County, to see and to experience.
