Charlestown
Addressing Dirty Water Issue
Charlestown officials say they are dealing with the dirty water
issue that has been a problem for some time now. A public
meeting was held last night to address the issue. City Mayor
Bob Hall says his administration is not ignoring the problem and
said the
occurrences of discolored water is due to deposits of a metal
commonly used in alloys. Hall says Project Clean Lines is an
initiative that has been launched by the city which will flush a
chemical called Clearitas into miles of pipeline beginning
February 6. All the deposits will be cleaned out of the system
and return the water to its clarity. The process could take a
year or more.
Bridge Closure
Hurting College Enrollment?
The closure of the Sherman Minton Bridge is
getting some of the blame for lower enrollment at some colleges
including Indiana University Southeast. The Courier Journal is
reporting that the bridge is a popular route for student
commuting from Kentucky. University of Louisville has also seen
a decrease in enrollment. The paper says both schools had less
students enroll for this spring than any of the previous four
years.
Corydon Man Charged
with Abusing Horses in Trouble with the Law Again
A Corydon man charged with abusing horses last
year is in trouble again. Donald Dunaway Jr. was arrested after
an investigation where a confidential informant allegedly
purchased prescription drugs from him on four occasions.
Another man, Gary Evans was also arrested. Both men have been
charged with four counts dealing in a controlled substance
within 1,000 feet of a family housing complex, four counts drug
possession and four counts maintaining a common nuisance, all
felonies. Both will appear in court in April and both remain in
the Harrison County Jail on $100,000 full cash bonds. Dunaway
was convicted of misdemeanor animal cruelty charges last
September after five horses were found without food or water.
He received a suspended one-year sentence and was to perform 80
hours of community services. The horses have since been nursed
back to health.
Daniels Signs Sex
Trafficking Ban
Governor Mitch Daniels signed a bill closing loopholes that
could have made it hard to prosecute those involved in sex
trafficking. The first new law of 2012’s legislative session is
just in time for the Super Bowl in Indianapolis where
authorities are predicting a surge in prostitution. The law
increases penalties for those who force someone into
prostitution or other sex trade. The law took affect
immediately after Daniels signed it.
