Cancer Survivor Loses Access to Water

MARCH 20TH, 2019 JOYLYN BUKOVAC EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

Genie Daugherty was not expecting to lose access to running water over the weekend. She was not expecting to walk outside and see mounds of dirt either, but all of this stemmed from a construction company working on a project down the street.

“They were around the curve working on something down there,” says Genie Daugherty, Evansville homeowner. “Apparently my pipe is down there and they thought it wasn’t good anymore and so they crushed it. ”

Daugherty says this alleged incident has been raising some questions.

“My beef is why did they ever cut her off, to begin with,” says Daugherty’s neighbor, Patrick Gore. “How did they not know that they were cutting off her water supply?”

When the Daugherty family notified officials they tried to remedy the situation with a fire hydrant across the street.

“They ran some hoses down my driveway and then hooked them in my old meter to get me water in the house,” says Daugherty.

Evansville Water & Sewer Utility officials say this is one method of a temporary fix. Although, Daugherty’s daughter, Jennifer Johnson, says when she found out about this method, she was alarmed.

“She was recently diagnosed with cancer,” says Johnson. “She had breast cancer two years ago and beat that and then just her immune system we are worried about that. ”

“I’m still curious about the hoses and what they used them on before they hooked them up to my waterline,” says Daugherty.

Neighbors were not too fond of it either, especially since the hose was laying across a busy road and was eventually cut open.

“That hose was spewing water probably 1,500 to a couple of thousand gallons all down this driveway,” says Gore.

“They had to come back out Saturday morning and re-tape the hose,” says Daugherty.

We wanted to know who was responsible for this situation and the city says they are not sure what lead to Daugherty’s water being cut off, but they tell 44News that they promptly corrected the situation.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, the city says the best thing to do is alert Evansville Water & Sewer Utility dispatch at 812-421-2130.

Crouch, Mitchell & IAC Celebrate 2019 Hoosier Women Artists

0

STATEHOUSE (March 20, 2019) – Today, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, and the Indiana Arts Commission hosted a reception to celebrate the 2019 Hoosier women artists at the Statehouse.

“Being able to promote female artists throughout our state brings me such joy and I look forward to this ceremony every year,” Crouch said. “We had an astonishing amount of art submitted, and it was very difficult to decide which pieces to bring into the office. I want to continue to encourage women in Indiana to keep exercising their artistic passions and share them.”

The Hoosier Women Artists competition was established in 2008 to celebrate the importance of the arts in Indiana’s communities and showcase the work of talented female artists throughout the state. The annual competition was announced in January, and today’s 39 honorees were selected out of more than 220 entries. The entries were judged by a panel of visual Indiana arts professionals and then selected for display by Crouch and Mitchell.

“As always, the amount of talent and creativity Hoosier women possess and a display is impressive,” Mitchell said. “I am honored to celebrate their skill by displaying these beautiful works of art in our office during the coming year.

The 39 pieces of artwork will be displayed in the offices of Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Treasurer of State Kelly Mitchell, Secretary of State Connie Lawson, Auditor of State Tera Klutz, Chief Justice Loretta Rush and Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick, as well as in the office of First Lady Janet Holcomb in the governor’s residence.

UE campus engages local community

 In a university-wide effort to help the Evansville community, students at the University of Evansville have teamed up to create the LEAD Forward Dollar Challenge to benefit the Tri-State Food Bank.

The challenge will see various entities on the UE campus compete against each other to raise money for the Tri-State Food Bank.  With the resources utilized by the food bank, it can provide seven meals for $1.

Fans and supporters are invited to take part in the challenge and can do so by donating or volunteering directly at the food bank.  Links to each are above.

You can see their progress on Twitter by searching for the hashtags #LFDC and #LFDollarChallenge.  UE athletics teams are doing their part this week through March 23 by challenging other athletic programs to donate.  They are using the hashtag #aHelpingHandofAces.
