2012 Spring Heavy Trash Pick-Up Begins Monday, April 16

0

The Evansville Water & Sewer Utility announces that Heavy Trash Pick-
up will begin next Monday, April 16, 2012, and is scheduled to run through Friday, June 15,
2012. This semi-annual curbside service is available to city residents who pay for trash service
with their water bill, including newly-annexed areas. Apartment complexes, mobile home
communities and business/commercial customers are not eligible.

The collection schedule and area maps are available on the City of Evansville GIS website
www.evansvillegis.com by clicking “Heavy Trash Pickup Dates” on the right. To help keep
crews on schedule and prevent heavy trash from sitting out on the curb longer than necessary, the
number of days allocated for collection in each specific area has been determined based on the
volume of heavy trash set out in the past and the number of days required to collect it.

Heavy trash must be placed in manageable, organized piles where normal weekly trash is
collected before 6 a.m. on the first day collection is scheduled in an area.

Items that will be collected include:
• Carpet
o Must be rolled in sections no longer than 4 ft. and no wider than 2 ft. in diameter

• Furniture
o Sofas, tables, chairs, mattresses, box springs, etc.

• Appliances
o Stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, etc.
o Limit two of each type of appliance per household

• Electronics
o Televisions, stereos, etc.
o NO computers or accessories

• Building materials/construction debris
o Must be in trash cans, boxes, etc. of such size and weight that they can be
reasonably lifted by two average adults
o Containers must be strong enough that they do not break apart while being lifted
even if they are wet
o Privacy fence sections must be cut in half or smaller manageable size
o NO concrete blocks or steel poles

Items that will NOT be collected include:
• Any trash that Allied Waste would pick up as part of its regular residential waste
collection contract
• Automobile parts
• Batteries
• Tires
• Hazardous materials
• Computers or accessories
• Concrete blocks or steel poles

Heavy trash that does not meet these requirements will not be picked up. If a customer has put
their heavy trash out according to the requirements above yet feels they were missed, they can
call Allied Waste at 424-3345 within two days to report a possible missed pick-up.

Note that many items not collected through the city’s heavy trash pick-up can be properly
disposed of through programs offered by the Solid Waste District including Tire Amnesty Days,
Electronics Recycling Days and Household Hazardous Waste Day (Tox Away Day). Additional
information about these programs and upcoming program dates is available in the Solid Waste
District’s section of the City Website (www.evansvillegov.org/Index.aspx?page=50) or by
calling 436-7800.

VHS Pet of the Week: “Beau”

0

Hello from Beau, a 1-year-old, neutered Border Collie Mix. Beau is a happy boy that takes a little bit to warm up to new situations. Once he’s comfortable, you’ll have a friend for life. Beau loves to play and would probably really enjoy the company of another dog as long as they get a chance to get acquainted first before Beau goes home. Beau would benefit from basic obedience to help fine tune his manners and but the finishing touches on being an even more awesome dog than he already is! Kids would be great but Beau would like to meet them first too just to make sure his energy level isn’t too much for them. For more information on Beau and the other awesome animals up for adoption at the VHS, call (812) 426-2563 or visit us on the web at www.vhslifesaver.org.

IS IT TRUE April 9, 2012 Part 2

IS IT TRUE April 9, 2012 Part 2

IS IT TRUE that we are amazed to hear that 2nd Ward City Council women, Missy Mosby and her Maingate Sports Bar drinking Buddies who filed formal complaints against 6th Ward City Councilmen and Evansville Firemen, Al Lindsey for drinking after a City Council meeting before returning back to work aren’t being called to testify against Mr. Lindsey at his Fire Merit Commission hearing this coming Wednesday? …we were hoping to hear Mr. Lindsey attorney question Ms. Mosby and her drinking buddies on how many drinks they consumed during that evening at Maingate Sport Bar during that famous evening? …we always heard that one should be allowed to face his accusers and wonder why Mr. Lindsey accusers aren’t repeating the statements they made against Mr. Lindsey face to face?

IS IT TRUE we wonder why neither the City of Evansville nor Vanderburgh County has announced what they are going to do with the$6.6 million dollar financial tax wind fall from the County Option Income Tax fund in the very near future?

IS IT TRUE that we are profoundly disappointed to be forced to believe that even the most basic of Vetting procedures was not done on the officers of Earthcare Energy before the president of GAGE made an affirmative recommendation to the City Council for providing a $4.8 Million loan to a company with no revenue, no assets, and no history?…that by basic Vetting that we are not talking about a secret clearance that can take months?…that what we are talking about is first a personal credit check, second a personal background check, third to do verifications on past employment and authentication of academic degrees, and finally to do the same on companies that these guys claim to own or have been officers of?

IS IT TRUE that tonight’s City Council meeting may be the last chance for either a member of the City Council to revisit this hasty decision made under duress and add some due diligence to the process?…that we already know that multiple licenses have already been granted by Langson Energy, that the patent that was clearly stated as in the hand of Earthcare Energy is not even issued, and we furthermore know that a last minute threat was made to go elsewhere if the loan was not approved “as is” 2 weeks ago today?…that exposing your belly to people who make threats like that is really not the way to run a city?…that mistakes like the McCurdy, the nothing Hotel, the Homestead Tax Grab, unclean conditions allowed to proliferate, and misguided judgments on programs like Front Door Pride and $240,000 single apartments are the mistakes of dreamers and the inept?…that blinking to a threat is a much weaker and more desperate situation?

IS IT TRUE that we wonder if at tonight’s City Council meeting if there is not one among the residents of Evansville or its City Council that will raise these questions?…that if no one rises to demand some answers to the very basic question posed by Councilman John Friend and the City County Observer that it will tell us something about the makeup of the community that we never wanted to believe?…that the person or people who come forward will have more clout if they are actually residents of the City of Evansville?

2012 SIC: A military appreciation event

0

The SIC SLAM is a two-day festival on April 13 and 14th, 2012, accompanying the schedule of events that surround the Southern Indiana Classic Marathon, 1/2 Marathon and 8k.

Friday, April 13 4-11pm, and race day, Saturday April 14, 7:30am- 2:45pm, the entire community is invited to join the participants at this all you can eat and drink military appreciation festival.

IS IT TRUE April 9, 2012

IS IT TRUE April 9, 2012

IS IT TRUE that paying the utilities for two homes during a transition period gives one a real appreciation for the price differences in two locations?…that the unoccupied residence in SW Indiana used a total of 171 kWh in March and the Vectren charge for that amount of electricity was $37.41 or 21.8 cents per kWh net?…that the home in the supposedly high cost location of Southern California used a total of 990 kWh for which the bill was 116.82 or 11.8 cents per kWh?…that it will come as a surprise to many that electricity in Evansville as supplied by Vectren is 85% more expensive on a net basis on actual bills than it is in Southern California?

IS IT TRUE that the State of Indiana is now the water pollution capital of the United States?…that in a recently released report by Environment America Indiana was cited for dumping 27 Million pounds of toxic chemicals into the Ohio River from industrial waste?…that AK Steel in Rockport that has long been touted as a dream attraction opportunity by economic developers is the most guilty business on the entire Ohio River dumping 24 Million pounds or 66% of all industrial chemicals that were dumped into the river over its entire length?…that the words “don’t eat that two headed catfish” should be heeded as pollution of levels like this can really mess up the fishing and boating businesses?…that between the 27 Million pounds of chemical and the EPA violating discharge of raw sewage by the City of Evansville all of this talk of tourism and clean air may just be meaningless?

IS IT TRUE that we are wondering what is going on with the design to bring Evansville’s sewer system into compliance that is due in 7 short months or the fines will start again?…that Mayor Winnecke was truly dealt a rotten hand of cards on this issue but that we hope he is doing as well with getting the plan ready to submit and he is with inspiring people to pick up litter?…that while Mayor Winnecke is the first Mayor in years to tangibly address the surface issue of litter and that we appreciate his work, he is also the latest Evansville Mayor to inherit the $500 Million problem known as Combined Sewer Overflows?

IS IT TRUE that it has now been 11 days since the City County Observer submitted a list of simple but important questions to Debbie Dewey of GAGE regarding the VETTING of the Earthcare Energy loan that was passed under duress by the Evansville City Council 2 weeks ago today?…that a similarly practical but more detailed list of questions asked publically by Councilman John Friend has also gone for the most part unanswered?…that it is about time that the City of Evansville and its surrogate GAGE fesses up and lets the people of Evansville know just what went into the decision to make this recommendation?…that it is a miscarriage of duty for the City Council to be denied answers to real and relevant questions?…that it is even worse that 5 of the members of the Council bent over and succumbed to an explicit threat by the loan applicants that was delivered in a Courier and Press interview?…that the City of Evansville right now is looking both weak and dumb?

IS IT TRUE April 8, 2012

The Mole #??

IS IT TRUE April 8, 2012

IS IT TRUE that tomorrow is the first time that there is an opportunity to open the floor for discussion at the Evansville City Council where the vote to make a $4.8 Million loan was shoved through under duress two weeks ago?…that there are many legitimate vetting questions that have gone unanswered and even questions from City Councilman John Friend were ignored by Debbie Dewey of GAGE in the name of proprietary information?…that we have seen Councilman Friend’s questions and have formulated some of our own and there should be nothing proprietary about questions a s simple as “has this been tested at real world pressures?”, “how many have been installed?”, or is there really a PO in place from the Department of Defense?…that we are very skeptical of the statements made that the DOD was expecting deliveries in two months because other Langson dealers (and there are many) are quoting 6 months for the delivery of a single unit?…that both sets of statements CAN NOT BE TRUE?

IS IT TRUE that if the statement regarding the DOD expecting deliveries within 2 months (now 6 weeks) is not true and the fact that the City Council really did vote under threats and duress would create a situation where a loan decision was made under duress with incorrect information from the loan applicant?…that this is sufficient grounds for a discussion on rescinding the offer to make the loan?…that the people of Evansville need the financial and legal minds available to the Evansville City Council to VET SO WE DON’T BET on this one?…that Councilman Friend, Councilman McGinn, Councilwoman Riley, City Attorney Hamilton, and City Controller Russ Lloyd Jr. all have the credentials to VET and bring this situation up for discussion?…that from a technical perspective the real study that was supposed to be finished by March 31 has not been released and until it is there will be people who think it does not exist?…that there was a PhD from Vectren who accompanied Ms. Dewey to Reno who has remained mute on the subject of whether or not what he saw constituted a real world conditions test that is ready to be installed into pressurized transmission lines up to 1,750 psi?…that a statement from that PhD stating explicitly that he saw a unit in the field at working pressure extracting electricity from a pressure let down station would sooth many fears?…that in the absence of such a statement from someone who was there leads to the conclusion that the answer is NO?

IS IT TRUE that the following solicitation for dealer-partners appears on the bottom of a press release issued by Langson Energy announcing that two dealer partners had signed on?…that it is not all that rare to solicit for new dealers, franchises, or business opportunities when announcing that others have come on board?

Langson Energy is currently accepting other dealer-partnerships, offering them:

• The right to buy Langson Energy equipment at a discount that will generate high profit margins when sold to Dealer customers;
• The right to service Langson Energy Equipment purchased by Dealer customers;
• An exclusive territory or vertical market for no cost (exclusivity begins after the purchase of equipment totaling 2MW);

Helix Power Generators Inc., a Profile of a Langson Energy Device Distributor

20

Helix Power Generators Inc.
Business Profile

Helix Power Generators Incorporated was formed to take advantage of the opportunity offered by becoming an authorized dealer for Langson Energy, Inc. of Carson City, Nevada. The dealership agreement enables Helix to sell, service, and maintain a device that is known as a Gas Letdown Generator or GLG. The agreement between Helix and Langson was reached in December of 2011.

Rick Dixon, the president and founder of Helix Power Generators, Inc. is optimistic about the acceptance of GLG devices and is planning to leave no stone unturned as his agreement with Langson grants him the freedom to compete in all American markets. As a proud business person with an independent streak Mr. Dixon clearly states on his website that “NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS WERE USED TO DEVELOP THIS TECHNOLOGY”.

The Langson Energy device according to Mr. Dixon is an ingenious accumulation of off-the-shelf components that are commercially available for units under 1MW yet are implemented in a way that others have overlooked. It is the formula for implementation that allows Helix to offer a performance guarantee backed by Langson with a planned recovery of investment in less than 3 years.

Although there are other authorized dealers for the Langson Energy device Helix touts its exclusive dedication to this product, its strategic location in the energy capital of America, Houston, TX, and its dedication to planning, execution, and service as the ingredients to lead the pack in this promising industry. The units which are advertised to work at pressures up to 600 psi recapture energy that is presently wasted and have no emissions.

To date no units have been sold by Helix and the time quoted to get one on the ground and working is between 4 and 6 months. According to Helix, the manufacturing of these devices will be in Carson City, NV at facilities tied to the Langson Energy headquarters.

For inquiries regarding the Langson Energy GLG device prospective customers may visit the Helix website at www.helixpg.com and fill out the project evaluation form or call directly at (281) 282-9616.
