Vernon County Sheriff Jason Mosher can barely be seen getting wet Friday afternoon in his response to multiple cold water challenges with the deparatment's charity the Children's Center. Rather than risk running afoul of the law by jumping into one of the city's lakes or Katy Allen Lake, Mosher arranged for the Nevada Fire Department to provide the cold water and invited all of the county fire departments, Nevada Police Department and other area agencies to take part. He said they raised $350 for the Children's Center and about 35 people turned out, and around 25, including Nevada Daily Mail editor Ralph Pokorny and circulation manager Linda Shankel, actually took up the challenge.
