Throw Your Worries Away presents Flower Power 2013 for the Jacobsville neighborhood. The idea is to bring Jacobsville neighbors and businesses together for a free fun event, while using a neighborhood park and doing something nice for the neighborhood. Families attending the event will plant flowers in pots to be given to neighbors. Each family will also receive a pot, soil and seeds to take home. There will be food and fun activities for neighbors attending the event.
Throw Your Worries Away (TYWA) is a neighborhood group that works to promote neighborly acts by hosting litter cleanups in the neighborhood. TYWA was awarded funds through Jacobsville Join In early action grants to host the event. TYWA is partnering with One Life Church to host Flower Power and the event is also sponsored in part by North Main Pawn, IGA, Jay Sales, Hay Now Graphics and Keep Evansville Beautiful.

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller asks consumers to hang up on a new scam where callers impersonate utility company employees and ask for payment on delinquent bills.
The Attorney General’s office and utility companies have received reports about calls notifying homeowners of past due utility bills, but traditional forms of payment such as checks and credit cards are not accepted. Zoeller said the scammers ask for the customer to purchase a prepaid debit card, often found at Walmart or gas stations, and call them back with the PIN number.
“Criminals are using easily accessible prepaid debit cards to take victims’ money and avoid being traced,†Zoeller said. “This form of payment is just like giving cash – once you hand it over it’s gone. As the weather begins to heat up consumers should be on alert as scammers will try to use threats – like utility disconnection – in order to con you out of your money.â€
Zoeller said if Indiana consumers receive a call asking for a prepaid card or personal information just hang-up and contact the utility provider directly. Utility customers with delinquent accounts often receive multiple notifications, including written notice, from their utility over the span of several weeks before services are disconnected.
In order to appear legitimate, scammers use caller ID spoofing technology which allows them to disguise their phone number. For example, your caller ID screen may have the name of a local utility company, but the call could actually be coming from another state or country.
Individuals who believe they may be a victim can file a consumer complaint with the Attorney General’s office by visiting www.IndianaConsumer.com or by calling 1-800-380-5516.

IS IT TRUE we are sitting on the edge of seats to get a look at the audits of the Ford Center and the general audit of the calendar year 2012 accounting of the City of Evansville?…the Mole Nation tells us that this ain’t gonna be pretty?…some well placed moles tell us the audits are already done and in the hands of City officials?…we are wondering if these public documents will be released as they should be or if the Winnecke Administration will have to be served with a FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST as the Weinzapfel Administration was time and time again?
IS IT TRUE this song called “Sick of It” by Skillet should become the anthem of the people of Evansville who are fed up with closed door deals, mortgaging our future to subsidize fun and games, and demand a focused effort to invest in the kind of infrastructure that cities are supposed to provide?…we hope you all read the words as the music plays and commit the spirit of this song to your diligence in making demands from local government?
