Air Quality Forecast

0

Air quality forecasts for Evansville and Vanderburgh County are provided as a public service.  They are best estimates of predicted pollution levels that can be used as a guide so people can modify their activities and reduce their exposure to air quality conditions that may affect their health.  The forecasts are routinely made available at least a day in advance, and are posted by 10:30 AM Evansville time on Monday (for Tuesday through Thursday) and Thursday (for Friday through Monday).  When atmospheric conditions are uncertain or favor pollution levels above the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, forecasts are made on a daily basis.

Ozone forecasts are available from mid-April through September 30th.  Fine particulate (PM2.5) forecasts are available year round.

THE BIRTHDAY “GIRL” By Jim Redwine

THE BIRTHDAY “GIRL”

My sister is not an antique. She is sometimes cranky, opinionated and usually stuck in the last century. However, she is not an antique.

Those few of you who actually read this column either know Janie or have heard of or from her. She is known for railing against many things, as old people often do, but usually saves her most acerbic wit for her three brothers. As Daddy’s favorite and Mother’s pet Janie could never accept her status as a possible antique.

No, Janie is more like a superannuated coquette with political views that do not gladly suffer fools and opinions which are of the adamantine variety. But an antique, not so fast.

Delores Jane (Redwine) Bartlett cannot be an antique because she still travels to Europe and preaches frequent sermons as a lay minister in several churches. Please be warned if you should be in one of her congregations: she was a college psychology professor and is still in recovery.

My sister may be intelligent, generous and of a happy heart, although she, as other older people, has endured some of life’s bitter slings and arrows. However, she is not an antique, as of yet, because, Gentle Reader, by definition an antique must be at least 100 years old and on July 23rd she will be only 80.

Well, those of you fortunate enough to know Janie and those of us blessed to have her in our family, know what a unique treasure she is. I, of course, as her much younger brother am just glad she’s a lot nearer to being an antique than I am!

IS IT TRUE JULY 21, 2017

12
IS IT TRUE that the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles has finally agreed to repay motorists more than $62 million in excessive fees to settle a long-running class-action lawsuit?…More than 5 million Hoosiers and former Hoosiers customers qualify for refunds under the agreement, which was approved recently in Marion Superior Court and became effective this week?…the settlement includes $28.5 million in refunds for customers who were ripped off for excessive charges between 2002 and mid-2006 for driver licenses, vehicle registrations and other services?… It also includes $33.6 million that the agency began returning to customers last year for transactions from 2006 to 2014?… with previous settlements and refunds, the BMV has now admitted to charging Hoosier drivers more than $115 million in higher-than-allowed taxes and fees during the past 15 years?…this is SNEGAL running wild in Indianapolis in a big way?.
IS IT TRUE Landa Clause is hoping to give away in downtown Evansville in exchange for some residential development?…what the City of Evansville Department of Metropolitan Development is hoping to see are three story high buildings with 170 or so apartments that will cost between $30 Million and $50 Million in exchange for some free land?…if the Old Safe House is any metric for what an apartment costs it will take $50 Million just to build 170 apartments with no money left for anything else on the Christmas list?…there was an architect/developer named Jim who was sporting about with renderings for such a place integrated into the old Greyhound Bus Station roughly 9 years ago?…land for development can be a decent deal if the City of Evansville keeps their grimy fingers out of the developer’s way of doing things?…any decent developer can likely build some really nice apartments for less than half of what the City spent fixing up the apartments in the Old Safe House and should be allowed to do so?…more apartments is better when one is trying to attract basic things like groceries. pharmacy and a gas station to a downtown?
 IS IT TRUE it’s alleged that a proposed new TIF tax for downtown Evansville and surrounding property owners are being proposed by a hand picked committee? …that downtown business owners and surrounding residential property owners were mailed a petition that ask them if they supported a proposed new TIF tax for that area? …that the petition participates were ask to answer either yes or no to the survey question? …If the majority voted “yes” the Evansville City Council is expected to rubber stamp it?   …”the word” in the street is that the downtown businesses owners are pushing it so it will probably pass?
IS IT TRUE after nine years in a Nevada prison former NFL and University of Southern California football star O J Simpson is going to be back on the streets?…Simpson was famous most of his life due to his football talent and later on for being aquitted of murdering his ex-wife and her boyfriend in a posh West LA neighborhood?…most everyone thought OJ did it, except for the 12 people on the jury?…we guess that we need to start confining our morning drinks to coffee, water, or tomato juice, because OJ will kill you?

Todays READERS POLL question is: Do you feel that the city should add an additional tax on downtown businesses to encourage development?
