Evansville, IN – Building on the success of its spring events, Mayor Stephanie Terry’s Block-by-Block Neighborhood Cleanup program will return this summer with three additional dates in neighborhoods across Evansville.

The summer events will take place on:

• Friday, June 20 | Glenwood Neighborhood
• Friday, July 25 | Lamasco Neighborhood (rescheduled from a rainout in April)
• Tuesday, August 12 | Goosetown Neighborhood

Each cleanup will run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and volunteers are encouraged to register in advance at www.evansvillegov.org/block.

The Block-by-Block initiative – one of the cornerstones of Mayor Terry’s Neighborhood Revitalizationpriority – brings together city employees and community volunteers to beautify Evansville’s neighborhoods by picking up litter, mowing overgrown lots, trimming trees, and more. In some cases, the cleanups also include more intensive actions such as demolition of blighted properties.

“Every neighborhood in Evansville deserves to be clean, safe, and vibrant,” said Mayor Stephanie Terry.“The Block-by-Block program is about showing up for one another – city workers, neighbors, and volunteers all pitching in together to make real, visible change. We were disappointed when rain canceled our April event in Lamasco, but we’re thrilled to get back to that neighborhood in July to finish what we started.”

Earlier this year, Block-by-Block cleanups were held in the CHAIN and Tepe Park neighborhoods. Mayor Terry’s administration scheduled eight total cleanups in 2025 (including the rained-out April event), each selected based on data from city departments to identify areas with the greatest need.

Community members of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to get involved.

Ensuring Fairness for Female Athletes  Ensuring fairness in collegiate sports is essential to protecting opportunities for female athletes. Biological differences impact athletic performance, and a new law I supported this session further protects the integrity of women’s sports in Indiana.
House Enrolled Act 1041 ensures fair competition by preventing biological males from competing in female categories at the collegiate level in the state of Indiana. This legislation aligns with an executive order at the federal level signed by President Donald Trump and one at the state level signed by Gov. Mike Braun, codifying the language into state law.

Elle Patterson, a former San Jose State volleyball player, testified in support of HEA 1041 in both the House and Senate committee hearings. She stated that she lost a volleyball scholarship to a biological male athlete and was required to share hotel rooms and locker rooms, while being unfairly compared in athletic performance.

The General Assembly previously passed a law I supported in 2022, which prohibited biological men from participating in female sports in Indiana K-12 schools.

As Indiana is home to the NCAA headquarters and hosts national and worldwide sporting events, it’s important we remain a leader on this issue.

Sincerely,

Tim O’Brien
State Representative

To God Belongs the Glory by Jerome Stewart

The Apostle Paul said to the brethren in Romans chapter 8 vs. 31; “If God is for us, who can be against us?” He is the exact same God today! When there is a willingness to live each day by the will of God, mankind will do the right things and make decisions based on and in conjunction with the knowledge of; God’s word. Listen to the words of the Apostle Paul to the brethren in 2^nd. Corinthians chapter 2 vss. 14 thru 17 which says; “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To  the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, as so  many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.” Stop the presses! In vs. 17 Paul mentioned those who peddle the word of God, in essence for personal ambition/gain, and in doing so pervert God’s word, and God knows who you are!  If you do not understand anything at the beginning and end of each day, please understand this. It’s all about Jesus to the glory of the Father in heaven. It is not about following the wisdom of any man who did not experience one scintilla of the pain Jesus felt when He allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross of Calvary. He had the power to destroy those who nailed Him to the cross immediately had He chosen to do so. In 2^nd. Corinthians chapter 4 as Paul continued to instruct and encourage the brethren, in vs. 7 he says; “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not us.” In vss. 8 thru 10 Paul was in rare form saying; “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in the despair, persecuted but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—always carrying about in the body of the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may be made manifested in our mortal flesh.” FYI; To God be the glory for sending Jesus into the world, not some of the time, but all the time!
