AG Curtis Hill warns Hoosiers to beware storm chasers

0

“Double check before you write a check.”

Spring brings not only April showers to Indiana but also greater chances of high winds, lightning strikes and other forms of severe weather. With this in mind, Attorney General Curtis Hill is warning Hoosiers to beware of scammers who descend on storm-affected communities in order to take advantage of homeowners needing repairs.

“We’ve all seen the significant damage that can result from storms ripping through neighborhoods,” Attorney General Hill said. “Hoosiers needing home repairs can become vulnerable targets for fly-by-night fix-up crews that appear at their doorsteps promising to work cheaply and quickly.”

Reputable contractors also visit storm-ravaged neighborhoods offering their services, Attorney General Hill noted, but consumers must do their homework to make sure to hire trustworthy companies.

Attorney General Hill offered these tips to Hoosiers:

  • Do not sign documents or agree to any repair work on the spot during initial contact with someone offering services. Instead, simply obtain the person’s contact information.
  • Do not provide access to your home to any stranger offering to perform a free inspection. Among other possible dangers, unethical contractors have been known to secretly cause damage to homes in order to then repair it.
  • Do not fall for high-pressure tactics such as the claim that you’ll get the best deal by agreeing to hire a contractor immediately on the spot.
  • Consider the possible wisdom of finding your own contractor rather than accepting the services of someone who shows up at your house.
  • Research any business or individual offering services. Look for signs of credibility such as official websites. Seek reviews and testimonials from former customers.
  • Contact your insurance agency to find out your terms of coverage. Ask whether your insurance company recommends any particular repair company.
  • Do not sign over insurance checks directly to repair companies. Rather, obtain the invoices yourself and pay repair companies directly.
  • Get multiple quotes. Shop and compare just as you would with any other important consumer decision.
  • Avoid letting the emotional toll of a situation influence decisions about repairing or replacing items that are damaged or lost.

“The best decision is an informed decision,” Attorney General Hill said. “Double check before you write a check.”

USDA Study Shows Significant Greenhouse Gas Benefits of Ethanol Compared with Gasoline

0

A new study released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) finds greenhouse gas emissions from corn-based ethanol are about 39 percent lower than gasoline. The study also states that when ethanol is refined at natural gas-powered refineries, the greenhouse gas emissions are even lower, around 43 percent below gasoline.

“These new findings provide further evidence that biofuels from America’s heartland reduce greenhouse gases even more than we thought, and that our farmers and ethanol plants continue to become more efficient and effective,” said Secretary Sonny Perdue. “President Trump has made it abundantly clear he is unleashing the full potential of American energy production as we retake our rightful place as the world’s leader. Expanding the sale of E15 year-round will provide consumers with more choices when they fill up at the pump, including environmentally friendly fuel with decreased emissions. I appreciate EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler moving expeditiously to finalize the E-15 rule before the start of summer driving season.”

More about the Screaming Eagles Arena

The University of Southern Indiana’s Screaming Eagles Arena was completed in spring 2019. It is unlike any other facility in the Tri-state region and serves as home to all USI’s nationally-recognized Screaming Eagles athletic programs, including Men’s and Women’s Basketball and Volleyball, which will be played in the facility.

The Arena also offers outstanding locker rooms, athletic training and conditioning spaces and will be a major factor in recruiting new athletic talent to the University. With the completion of this facility, basketball and volleyball games can now be held in the Arena while classes, intramurals and practices go on as scheduled in the Physical Activities Center (PAC).

Additionally, the Arena will be used each year for University commencement ceremonies, to host nationally-known speaker engagements, to provide more space for student activities, and would serve as a community emergency shelter, if needed.

Increased seating is now available for commencements and the facility makes it possible for USI to host larger events on campus.

The addition of the Screagle Zoneâ„¢ for USI merchandise and three concessions stands will create a positive game/event-day experience for fans and guests. A courtside Varsity Club Room and four box suites add new opportunities for VIP viewing of games and events.
