Breeding Season For Deer Means Greater Risk Of Car Collisions

Breeding Season For Deer Means Greater Risk Of Car Collisions

White-tailed deer begin their breeding season, also called the rut, during October. During this time, deer (especially bucks) will be moving across roadways more frequently as they search for mates.

Staying aware and keeping the following information in mind can help motorists reduce their chances of becoming another deer-vehicle collision statistic:

  • Deer are most active at dawn and dusk.
  • Deer often travel in groups. If you see one deer, another is likely nearby.
  • Be especially careful in areas where you have seen deer before.
  • Use high beams when there is no oncoming traffic. Scan for deer’s illuminated eyes or dark silhouettes along the side of the road.
  • If you see a deer, slow your speed drastically, even if it’s far away.
  • Exercise extreme caution along wooded edges, on hills, and during blind turns.
  • Never swerve to avoid hitting a deer. Most serious crashes occur when drivers try to miss a deer and hit something else.

Upcoming Changes To SNAP For October

0

We wanted to pass along some important information about two upcoming changes the U.S. Food and Nutrition Services Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Together these changes may impact the benefits received by Hoosier SNAP participants.

  • On Sept. 30, 2021, the 15% increase in SNAP benefits provided as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 will end.
  • Starting in October 2021, benefits will increase due to the recent re-evaluation of the Thrifty Food Plan.

The result of these two updates occurring at the same time is that in October most SNAP participants will see a slight increase to their monthly benefit.

SNAP households may have heard that because of the updated Thrifty Food Plan their benefits are increasing. However, they may not understand that this increase is to the pre-pandemic benefit amounts—before the 15% increase. As a result, some participants may be expecting their benefits to increase substantially over their current level.

With these changes happening around the same time, SNAP participants, stakeholders, and others may become confused. Here is a Q and A from FNS that could help.

City-County Observer Announces “Person of the Year” Award

First Honoree: Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke

The City-County Observer is pleased to announce a new award that will be made annually to honor the “Person of the Year” in Greater Evansville.

The first honoree has been selected and it is none other than Evansville’s 3-term Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.

Winnecke was elected to the office of Mayor of Evansville in the fall of 2011 and assumed office in January of 2012.

His calm demeanor and collaborative style had been apparent throughout his career in banking and journalism. These basic personality traits have made Mayor Winnecke a pleasant person to be around and an effective communicator.

Then-candidate Winnecke promised to serve as Evansville’s Ambassador to the world and that is a role he has played effectively. It is Winnecke’s finely tuned voice that welcomes visitors to the Evansville Regional Airport (EVV) as they arrive in the baggage claim area.

Winnecke also made a commitment to energize Evansville’s downtown after years of decaying and many false starts by former Mayors. Today, downtown Evansville is becoming an energetic and distinct destination in the Tri-State with a growing population and an expanding array of retail establishments and professionals. 

As a native Evansvillian, Mayor Winnecke has witnessed the demise of downtown Evansville that was accelerated when the Washington Square and Eastland Malls were opened on the East Side. When retail pulled out, people did too, leaving downtown Evansville as a shell of its former self.  It was Winnecke’s diligence and calmly staying the course that finally brought people back to downtown Evansville to live.  His steady hand on the plow finally seeded Downtown and Haynes Corner Evansville for sustainable prosperity.

Winnecke has also learned to let go of the past when it is appropriate to do so as has been exhibited in the demolition of some long-standing but obsolete buildings including the 420 Building that was the home of Old National Bank and the Petroleum Club for many decades. The reality has been apparent that some of the older buildings were functionally obsolete for years and Winnecke realized this and found a creative solution to clear the way for future developments on the valuable downtown lots.

One of the more endearing qualities of Mayor Winnecke is that he is a humble man and takes a joke very well, even when the joke is on him.  In his early days as Mayor of Evansville, his enthusiasm and love for Evansville, the Arts, and its people did lead to some hilarious moments like the chicken fat video that was made to promote healthy living.  Much fun was made of the video, and Winnecke took it all in stride poising himself to become the first Mayor of Evansville to truly reverse the decline of downtown Evansville in a sustainable way.

For his perseverance, kindness, and leadership during the covid crisis, take on the seemly impossible task of updating the multi-million water and sewer project.  medical school and Hotel  etc   etc   the City-County Observer is proud to announce that Mayor Lloyd Winnecke will receive the first Person of the Year Award at our annual awards banquet on September 16, 2021.

Vanderburgh County Commissioners Announce AT&T Rural Broadband Project

Vanderburgh County Commissioners Announce AT&T Rural Broadband Project 

(Nearly $40 million projects deliver two and five Gbps symmetrical speeds) 

EVANSVILLE, IN. (September 28, 2021) – The Vanderburgh County Commission announces a nearly $40-million-dollar rural Broadband project with AT&T as the provider. “This project is an investment in the sustainable future of our rural community”, stated County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave. 

In response to a Vanderburgh County Request for Proposal, AT&T has been selected to provide broadband service for unincorporated Vanderburgh County. Of the $39.6 million investment, $9.9 million in public funding and $29.7 million is an investment by AT&T. Public funding is made available through the American Rescue Plan Act, federal dollars approved by the US Congress, and President Biden in spring 2021. 

The transformational project is an all-fiber solution that will bring high-speed broadband Internet to over 20,000 customer locations in two years or less. The service locations are unincorporated Vanderburgh County rural homes and businesses currently without broadband service or with inadequate service. Residents will have the option of up to 2 Gbps and businesses up to 5 Gbps symmetrical service. The project will be complete in two years and will provide services to an estimated 21,000 current residents, as well as providing potential future benefits in the form of job creation and economic development potential. 

“Internet service is as fundamental in today’s world as electricity and water. It is difficult to participate in today’s economy without uninterrupted, high-quality access to the Internet. Without Internet access, our children have restricted educational opportunities, our residents have less access to many resources, including banking and health care. Our rural community has been left behind due to the cost of providing wired Broadband access, much like they were a hundred years ago when electrical wires were first strung in cities, and only reaching the rural areas decades later”, stated Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave. 

“The prospect of moving from little or no service to excellent service is truly a transformational opportunity. Fiber to the home and business is the pinnacle technology in today’s world and is 305 ADMINISTRATION BLDG.  N.W. M. L. KING JR.

considered “future proof” as well. Fiber delivers the best in speed and uninterrupted durability in Internet technology”, stated Commissioner Ben Shoulders. 

“We are thrilled to partner with AT&T to bring the best of today’s technology to our rural neighbors” stated Commissioner Jeff Hatfield. 

This Commission has taken solid steps to build a foundation for digital infrastructure. This project is a direct result of the 2018 Broadband Ready Ordinance, which received unanimous support. Vanderburgh County was one of the first in the state to achieve this designation. The ordinance removed barriers by creating a 10-day permitting process and create tax exemption for new broadband investment. 

This project follows earlier Broadband actions taken by the Vanderburgh County Commission, including the active pursuit of state grants and devoting local Tax Increment Finance District dollars to improve access in a northwestern portion of the county.
