The Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office has a request for drivers traveling near a church that was damaged in Friday's storms. The roof of St. Joseph Catholic Church near the corner of West St. Joseph Road and St. Wendel Road was completely blown off by high winds on Friday. The sheriff's office asked drivers to avoid using the church's parking lot as a detour while parts of St. Joseph Road remain closed. The Sheriff’s Office says the request is made with the safety of kids in mind, since school is still in session at St. Joe Catholic School, and the parking lot is used for recess, and as a pick-up and drop-off area for students.
Officials with the University of Evansville are preparing for some busy summer months with several youth camps coming up. There will be eight different camps on campus, and they’ll be for rising sixth graders to rising twelfth graders. There will be a music, dance, stem, art, and pride camp to name a few. Officials say registration is now open and unfortunately the art camp is full, but there is a waiting list. They also say financial assistance is available.
