Many people have watched this State Senator create legislation that takes on poverty and discrimination.  She is not your typical self-assured and flamboyant know-it-all politician.  Senator Becker is a laid-back and likable political leader known to take on legislative challenges by researching the subject and turning the information into a common-sense approach to debating information that forces needed change.on the Chamber floor

Big on philanthropy, Senator Becker is one of the founding members of the Albion Fellows Bacon Center. She was also on the board with ARK Crisis Children’s Center, which works in Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) for thirty years. Furthermore, she has helped pass Hoosier Healthwise legislation.

In the Evansville community, she is active with Leadership Evansville Alumni and the United Methodist Church.

Senator Becker has worked to improve the quality of life in her community.  As a woman with an amazing passion for social services, bettering the quality of life, and contributing to the State Legislature, she is indeed an outstanding public servant.

Attorney Charles L. Berger

Charles L. Berger has a repetition of taking on issues that help protect the disenfranchised and downtrodden. Charlie is an extremely private and soft-spoken person. However, when he’s in the courtroom defending his client’s rights, he becomes an extremely aggressive and effective Doctor of Jurisprudence. We consider Charles L.

Co-Chairpersons of “Feed Evansville” Are Alex Burton and Lisa Vaughan

When Covid-19 impacted Evansville, Indiana, in mid-March, Community Activist Lisa Vaughan and Evansville City Councilman Alex Burton started a grassroots effort to ensure the Tri-State had food access Covid-19 government shutdown. The effort was so successful it led to the Mayor of Evansville deeming the Feed Evansville Group the official government Food Security task force of the area and named Lisa and Alex the co-chairs. These efforts also shined a light on Food Security as an issue within the area. The mayor officially announced that work would need to be ongoing after the pandemic is over.

Feed Evansville organized a communication hub and tracked what every organization was doing (both businesses and non-profit). The task force created and shared a weekly food access flyer so community members would know where to receive services and published grocery & restaurant hours through social media, TV, radio, and emailed organizations to spread the word. All services have been provided through fundraising and in-kind donations.

City Councilman Alex Burton was born and raised in Evansville, IN. He graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in Communications. As an undergraduate, he had the opportunity to intern with Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel, which led him to attain his Master’s in Public Administration from Western Kentucky. During this time, he interned for two members of U. S. Congress.

Alex returned to Evansville to serve his community. He currently serves as an effective member of the Evansville City Council and has sought to make positive traction in workforce development, housing, food insecurity, and public education.

Community Volunteer Lisa Vaughn moved to Evansville in 2016.  She has studied Music Education and Pastoral Counseling.  Lis is a 14-year active member and Past President of the Junior League of Evansville, and is the current Placement Chair, and has chaired several JLE committees.  Lisa has been involved in various activities and has offered countless hours of volunteer service in the community.

Lisa says, “I have experienced situations throughout my life where I witnessed a lack of support to others in need.  Joining the Junior League of Evansville in 2007 provided me with skills and training to be a civic leader so I could advocate, execute, and market an event.  It taught me to network and collaborate, as well as taught me about being committed to community impact.”

Retired Vanderburgh County Superior Court Judge Rich D’Amour 

Former Superior Court Judge Rich D’Amour has earned the repetition of being fair, impartial, and objective while adhering to the law’s letter. He is very personable and well respected. Judge D’Amour moved to Evansville in July of 1981 after getting his undergraduate degree from Notre Dame and his law degree from Indiana University.

During the time he has practiced law, he had the pleasure of working with many fine partners. His practice areas were primarily as a deputy prosecutor for 19 years, and he estimates he has tried over 150 criminal jury trials and done several thousand divorces.

Judge D’Amour has served on numerous state judicial committees, including the domestic relations committee, where he helped draft the Indiana Child Support Guidelines, the Parenting Time Guidelines, and the Parenting Time Calendar.  He established the Alternative Dispute Resolution Fund in Vanderburgh County, which helps provide mediation services to low-income litigants. In 2016 he was one of six judges in Indiana chosen to start the new Indiana Commercial Court, a system of courts specifically developed to address business and commercial litigation. These courts are now permanently established in Indiana and are being adopted by other counties throughout the state.

In 2005, seeking a change from the law’s hectic practice, Rich was appointed as Magistrate in the Vanderburgh Superior Court. He served in that position until 2011, when he was fortunate enough to be elected Judge in the Vanderburgh Superior Court, which he held when he retired on April 1, 2021.  After nearly 40 years in the legal profession, Judge D’ Amour moved to Asheville, North Carolina, with his wife, Holly, to begin his next adventure.

Former Vanderburgh County Treasurer And County Clerk Susan Kirk

Former Vanderburgh County Treasurer, Susan Kirk, has been one of Vanderburgh County’s greatest assets and best-kept secrets. She has done her job with fairness and integrity, following the laws and regulations set by the state. People like Susan Kirk run for public office because they really want to serve people and make a difference.

Susan’s political career began in 1968. At that time, she was working as a dental assistant. Remembering that May and November are typically busy times in the County Treasurer’s Office, her father asked her to come work for him part-time.  She was then offered a full-time position as a secretary at The Centre. Later, when Shirley Cox was elected Clerk, she asked Susan to come to work for her in the Election Office.

While she has worked in a political atmosphere for most of her life, Susan doesn’t consider herself a seasoned politician. While most people have viewed her as the Vanderburgh County Clerk, she’s much more than that. Take one step into her office and look around. She is adventurous and family-oriented. Her office is decorated with photos of her son, granddaughter, and 97-year-old mother, who incidentally still lives with her. She also has a certificate from a tandem jump from her lone skydiving adventure. And let’s not forget her Indiana Women’s Golf Association Hole-In-One certificate from a perfectly played hole at Quail Crossing Golf Club.

Susan Kirk retired at the end of 2020, after serving the public in appointed and elected offices for over 50 years.  “I really can’t complain. I’m very thankful for the life I have. I enjoy my job, and I have a wonderful, healthy family with my two brothers, my son, my granddaughter, and my mother,” said Susan softly.

Honorable Mayor Lloyd Winnecke

Lloyd Winnecke was inaugurated on January 1, 2012, as the 34th mayor of Evansville, Indiana. Mayor Winnecke is a graduate of Central High School with a Bachelor of Science in Communication from the University of Evansville.  A native of Evansville with a successful business background in banking communications and news information, Mayor Winnecke held numerous public and private sector management positions before assuming the role of the city’s top executive official.

Before becoming Mayor, Lloyd’s position as Senior Vice President and Marketing Director for Fifth Third Bank taught him the business skills he brought to the city government. Before joining the bank, Lloyd Winnecke spent nearly two decades in the television news industry, working in several markets, including Louisville and Indianapolis. He was News Director at WEHT-TV News 25 in Henderson, Ky., before switching from news to banking.

In the public sector, the mayor was elected to the Vanderburgh County Commission in 2008 and served as President of the County Commissioners. Before that, he served nine years on the Vanderburgh County Council, including three years as County Council President and one year as Council Finance Chairman. As a county official, Lloyd proposed balanced budgets for 11 straight years and held per capita spending to 43% below the state average. He has never lost an election.

In 2012, Lloyd and his wife, Carol, were honored with the Keep Evansville Beautiful Volunteer of the Year Award for launching the monthly litter pick-up initiative, Clean Evansville, and inspiring others to help keep Evansville beautiful. Last year, the Indiana Association of City and Towns recognized the City of Evansville with the 2013 IACT Community Achievement Award and the 2013 IACT Green Community of the Year Award for promoting civic pride, work ethic, and the spirit of volunteerism through various city activities, in particular Clean Evansville. . In 2013, Mayor Winnecke was named an honorary member of the West Side Nut Club for his enthusiastic support of the community and the city’s West Side.

The Mayor has served on the Boards of Evansville Civic Theatre, Gilda’s Club of Evansville, the American Red Cross, the Evansville African American Museum, and the University of Evansville Purple Aces Club. He also serves on the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana and the ITAC (city-county information technology committee). He is a past board member and current volunteer for the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center and a past cabinet member for the local United Way campaign. Other organizational involvements include the Evansville Parks Foundation, Wesselman Nature Center, the University of Evansville Theatre Society, Reitz Home Museum, University of Southern Indiana Arts and Humanities, and Junior Achievement.

Keynote speaker in the highly respected co-owner of D-Patrick Automotive Group.

The event Master-Of Ceremonies is none other than Brad Ellsworth, Director Of Local Government Affairs for CenterPoint Energy.

 

Natural Gas Bills Expected To Increase

1

 Evansville – Oct. 14, 2021 – CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana South natural gas territory recently announced that customers may see a significant increase in their natural gas bills when compared to those of last winter, assuming normal winter weather, due primarily to natural gas market conditions.

This year based upon expected natural gas commodity costs and normal winter weather, customers can expect to pay on average $146 a month, over the 5-month heating season of November through March. By comparison, last year’s average bill amount for the 5-month period was around $75 a month.

“In the event, we experience normal winter weather this heating season, coupled with a significant increase in natural gas prices, customers should expect an increase in their bills. However, even with higher natural gas prices this winter heating season, bills should still remain lower than customers experienced in the late 2000s when prices for natural gas were at record levels nationwide,” said Richard Leger, Vice President of Natural Gas Distribution, Indiana and Ohio. “Customers will also begin to see bill adjustments resulting from the recently approved natural gas rate review, which recovers needed natural gas infrastructure investments to ensure continued safe and reliable natural gas delivery.”

CenterPoint Energy utilities are not allowed to markup, nor profit, from the purchase and sale of natural gas. Only gas costs actually incurred and approved by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission are recovered from customers. Natural gas is a commodity bought and sold in a national deregulated market and prices fluctuate daily due to supply and demand pressures. CenterPoint Energy purchases natural gas on behalf of its customers and then passes those costs on to customers through the gas cost adjustment, which is listed on the bill as “Gas Cost Charge.”

The Energy Information Administration continues to recognize natural gas as the most affordable heating source, according to a report issued yesterday. In fact, CenterPoint Energy gas customers who heated their homes with natural gas last year saved up to $660 compared to those who heat with propane.

It is important to remember bills will vary by customer depending on the size and age of the home, the number of gas appliances, number in the household, thermostat settings and levels of insulation. Customers are encouraged to still implement energy efficiency measures and find ways to use less natural gas to lower bills even further.

CenterPoint Energy has in place a number of tools to help customers manage their energy bills.

When Compared To Last Winter

  • Increase primarily driven by rising in natural gas prices
  • Higher costs resulting from global demand, lower production
  • The company purchases natural gas on behalf of its customers does not mark up or profit from the purchase and sale of natural gas
  • Customers are encouraged to prepare now for managing their energy bills

Budget Bill: Under this billing plan, a customer’s estimated costs for a year of gas service are spread in equal monthly bill amounts for the year. This leveling of monthly bill amounts reduces the need to pay the full amount in the winter and spreads some of those higher bill charges into the non-heating months. Amounts are adjusted each summer for actual costs, and the customer’s credit or amount due rolls into the next Budget Bill payment for the next 12-month period. Customers can enroll for free on www.centerpointenergy.com or by calling 1-800-227-1376.

 Energy Assistance Program (EAP):  State and federal utility assistance dollars are available for income-eligible customers. Those that fall within 60 percent of state median income should visit their local community action agency to sign up for the EAP. To apply for the EAP, customers should call 1-800-872-0371 to locate their nearest community action agency. Customers may also apply any time at the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority website athttps://ihcda.rhsconnect.com/.

Universal Service Program (USP): All eligible natural gas heating customers who apply and qualify for EAP will automatically be enrolled in the USP, which provides additional gas bill reductions that range from 15 to 32 percent of the total bill received (not including EAP benefits) in the months of December through May. The USP, which has been in place since 2005 is the result of a collaborative effort by CenterPoint Energy, Citizens Energy Group, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, Citizens Action Coalition and a group representing industrial customers. The program provides about $1.5 million in assistance each year to roughly 18,000 CenterPoint Energy Indiana customers, including crisis assistance dollars, which target qualified low-income and working-poor households that need additional help to get reconnected and/or maintain heat throughout the upcoming winter.

Share the Warmth:  Those wanting to help the less fortunate with their energy bills can contribute to Share the Warmth, a nonprofit organization that assists income-eligible customers with home weatherization services. Donations may be tax-deductible and can be made with a checking or savings account number and routing number at www.sharethewarmthinc.com. Customers who pay their bills at www.centerpointenergy.com may donate through a bill round-up feature. In 2020, customers across CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana and Ohio territories used this feature to direct more than $200,000 in donations to Share the Warmth, which was matched by CenterPoint Energy.

Energy efficiency resources: CenterPoint Energy offers energy efficiency tips, appliance rebates and energy-saving tools to help customers lower their natural gas bills. All Indiana residential and small commercial natural gas customers are eligible. Visitwww.centerpointenergy.com or call 1-866-240-8476 for a list of rebates, qualifying appliances and energy efficiency tips.

“We are here to assist our customers who are experiencing financial hardship and encourage them to make contact for options to help manage costs,” said Leger. “Local community action agencies can further provide assistance and customers should call today and apply for financial and/or home weatherization assistance if needed.”

Programs and services are operated under the brand CenterPoint Energy by Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company d/b/a CenterPoint Energy Indiana South.

CenterPoint Energy’s Indiana South territory delivers natural gas to approximately 114,000 customers in Daviess, Gibson, Knox, Martin, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh and Warrick counties.

Protecting Victims Of Domestic Violence

0

Many Hoosiers face violence in their own homes and live in fear – often in silence – because of an abusive relationship. In fact, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence at some point in their lives.

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and a new law in Indiana is working to better protect domestic violence victims who obtain protective and no-contact orders. In the past, these orders were not always followed and that’s in part because of the relatively low penalty for violating them. This year, state lawmakers increased the penalty from a misdemeanor to a Level 6 felony carrying a fine of up to $10,000 and prison time. Not only is this a stronger deterrent for criminals disobeying court orders, but it also gives law enforcement additional tools to keep Hoosiers safe and get abusers off the streets.

This enhancement is backed by public safety officers, including Evansville Sgt. Matt Karges (pictured center), who testified at the Statehouse in support of the legislation. He recently joined State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) (pictured right), chair of the House Courts and Criminal Code Committee and sponsor of the law, for a ceremonial bill signing. Other House sponsors of Senate Enrolled Act 79, which passed unanimously, include State Reps. Sharon Negele (R-Attica) and Mike Speedy (R- Indianapolis).

Domestic violence affects Hoosiers across the state, regardless of race, income, age or occupation. No person deserves to be physically or emotionally harmed, and help is available. To report an abusive relationship or find help, call the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence hotline at 800-332-7385. Resources and support are also available at icadvinc.org.

 

Attorney General Todd Rokita Files Lawsuit Against Alleged Robocalling Scammers

0

Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a lawsuit against an Indiana company that allegedly acted as a gateway into the United States for robocallers in India, the Philippines and Singapore. The company, Startel Communication LLC, was owned and operated in Evansville by Wanda Hall and Abhijit Chowdhury, an Indian national.

These robocallers allegedly made over 4.8 million phone calls to Hoosiers and hundreds of millions of calls to other states across the United States. The robocallers allegedly operated a variety of scams, including IRS and Social Security Administration imposter scams, legal action or arrest scams, computer support scams, Apple support scams, and Amazon subscription scams.

“Hoosiers are sick and tired of being harassed by illegal and unwanted robocalls, and Kathy and I are two of them,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Just as I promised, we will stay on the offense in our efforts to protect Indiana consumers and bring these people to justice.”

This lawsuit is part of Attorney General Rokita’s crackdown on providers that knowingly profit from robocalls. The investigation started with a few consumer complaints and took over a year to complete.

The suit also includes two California companies — Piratel LLC, which routed 3.1 million of the robocalls, and VoIP Essential LLC, which routed 1.5 million of the robocalls. Both companies knew Startel was sending robocalls, and they were each paid more than $100,000 to look the other way.

Of the Hoosiers who were called, more than 780,000 of them were on the federal Do Not Call Registry and over 605,000 were on the Indiana Do Not Call list.

The lawsuit alleges the companies and individuals committed millions of violations of federal and Indiana law, with potential fines in the billions.

Attorney General Rokita offers the following tips to avoid scams and unwanted calls:

Aces Look To Continue Streak At UNI And Drake

UE Faces Panthers And Bulldogs This Weekend

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Riding its top streak in over 15 years, the University of Evansville volleyball team looks to continues its winning ways this weekend at UNI and Drake.  On Friday, the Purple Aces will take on the Panthers in a 6 p.m. contest in Cedar Falls before traveling to Des Moines for a 5 p.m. match on Saturday.

Last Time Out

– Evansville completed a 3-match homestand with its third consecutive 3-0 win by defeating Missouri State on Tuesday

– Melanie Feliciano led the way with 19 kills to help the Aces earn the sweep in impressive fashion, picking up a 25-15 victory in the third set

– Giulia Cardona added 17 kills while Alondra Vazquez picked up the 10th double-double of the season with 14 kills and 11 digs

– With 39 assists in three sets, Taya Haffner upped her season average to 11.27 per set

– Kate Tsironis recorded a career-best six block assists while Rachel Basinski had her top match of the season, posting 12 digs

Big-time Homestand

– A refocused UE group entered last week’s homestand with an 0-3 MVC mark but showed what it is capable of by sweeping all three matches at Meeks Family Fieldhouse

– UE defeated Bradley and Illinois State over the weekend before picking up another 3-0 win on Tuesday over Missouri State

– The current streak is just the second time since joining the MVC in 1994 that UE has swept three MVC matches in a row…the other instance came in September of 2006 when the Aces defeated Illinois State, Indiana State and Drake

Three out of Five Ain’t Bad!

– As of Oct. 13, Evansville has three of the MVC’s top five kill leaders with Alondra Vazquez (4.56/set) leading the league, Giulia Cardona ranking third (3.78) and Melanie Feliciano sitting in fifth (3.49)

– No other team in the country can boast those numbers as just six other NCAA conferences even have a team with three players currently ranked in the top ten

– The closest any team comes is having three ranked in the top seven with Marist (MAAC) and San Jose State (Mountain West) doing so

Player of the Week

– Racking up 18 kills while hitting a season-high .600, Melanie Feliciano lifted UE to a 3-0 win over Illinois State on Saturday and was recognized as the MVC Player of the Week on Monday

– She followed that up with a 19-kill performance in the win over the Bears to finish the 3-match homestand averaging 5.44 kills per set while hitting .537

– Feliciano has moved into 5th place in the MVC with a season average of 3.78 per set

Block Party

– A career-high of six block assists is just the latest accomplishment this season for Kate Tsironis, has continued to raise her average

– Over the last seven matches, Tsironis has registered 5 solo blocks and 18 block assists, an average of 1.10 per set…the recent streak has upped her season mark to 0.76 per game

Record Watch?

– The 11.27 assist/set average for Taya Haffner is on pace to be one of the best in school history…it is the best for the program in the 25-point rally scoring era and currently second-best in the UE record book (since 1991) – the only one higher was a 12.01 average by Betsy Knott in 1998

– She is set to be just the third UE player since 1998 to average over 10 per set

– Alondra Vazquez currently averages 4.56 kills, which is on pace to be the best in UE history…it is also one of the best that the MVC has seen in recent years…since 2005, just two players have finished with a higher average
