Common breed- ing places are flood waters, woodland pools, slow-mov- ing streams, ditches, marsh- es and around the edges of lakes. Other mosquitoes de- velop in tree cavities, rain barrels, fish ponds, bird baths, old tires, tin cans, guttering, catch basins or any container that holds water. Diseases such as West Nile virus are transmitted by these container breed- ing mosquitoes. Reduce mosquitoes around your home and neighborhood by getting rid of any standing water or treat the water with lar- vicide. If you have bird baths, flower pots, rain barrels, an- imal troughs, flood waters, slow moving streams, ditch- es or a pond or lake around your home you can try using mosquito dunks to kill mos- quito larvae. Please stop by the Health Department to pick up your free mosquito dunks. Duke Energy accelerates retirement of five coal-fired units in county By Janice Barniak Duke Energy, Indiana's largest supplier of electric- ity, announced an accel- erated schedule to retire five coal-fired units at the Gibson County Station in Owensville, with the earli - est retirement set for 2026, and the latest set for 2038, 19 years from now, though those plans represent the company's projections, up- dated every three years. The Gibson Station, ac- cording to Duke spokes- woman Angeline Proto- gere, is one of the largest coal-fired units in the nation, or even the world and repre- sents an output of more than 3,000 megawatts. The station also employs 334 employees, though Pro- togere said with the extend- ed timeline, there will be a lot of opportunities to relo- cate employees within the company. Protogere said the updat- ed timeline is a response, at least in part, to the com- pany's belief that increased greenhouse gas regulations will likely impact their coal- fired energy, even as the costs to create and use re- newable power have de- clined. The coal used at the Owensville plant is primar- ily Indiana coal, she added. "These are valuable as- sets that are the backbone of meeting our customers' needs," Protogere said. Besides coal, the compa- ny uses natural gas and car- bon-free power such as hy- dro, solar and wind energy to power customers. In 2018, nearly 90 per- cent of the power Duke pro- duced in Indiana was coal- fired, which emits carbon dioxide when it is burned, though since 2005 Duke has decreased some emissions by as much as 95 percent. According to the press re- lease, Duke expects to add, by year 2037, 1,240 mega- watts of cleaner burning nat- ural gas, 700 megawatts of wind energy, and 1,650 meg- awatts of solar power. Women's Fund awards money for processing game for needy The Women's Fund of Gib- son County in the Gibson County Community Founda- tion, an affiliate of the Com- munity Foundation Alliance, recently awarded Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry a grant to be used to serve Gibson County residents. These funds will help pay process- ing fees for large game and livestock donations with- in Gibson County. The pro- cessed meat will then be given to area hunger-relief agencies. Founded in 2011, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry asks area hunters and farmers to take their large game or livestock to a participating meat pro- cessor where the donation is processed, packaged and frozen at no cost (plus, farm- ers may write off the fair market value on their taxes). Local hunger-relief agen- cies will be contacted for pick-up and distribution of this nutritious protein back into the community. "We are very excited about our "Meat" the Need program," said Debra Treesh, Exec- utive Director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry. "We're pleased that this Fund is will- ing to make an investment in the community." Lack of food does not only affect the homeless or unem- ployed. The economy may be showing signs of improve- ment but many hard-work- ing Hoosiers are still living paycheck to paycheck, reg- ularly having to choose be- tween paying bills, obtain- ing medicine or buying gro- ceries. In these homes, an unexpected bill of any sort (like a major car repair or medical bill) can throw an already tight budget into a downward spiral. According to Feeding America's Map the Meal Gap, 31% of working Indi- ana residents who are food insecure do not qualify for food-assistance programs. These residents have to turn to charitable food as- sistance networks such as food banks, pantries, hun- ger ministries, etc… And the hardest commodity for food banks to obtain? Protein, a nutrient that is part of every cell in your body and vital to brain/body development. "The grant provided by the Women's Fund of Gib- son County will pay to pro- cess about 1,000 pounds of donated large game and live- stock, which will then be dis- tributed to area hunger-re- lief agencies—providing almost 4,000 meals to res- idents in need within our communities," said Treesh. In the last eight years, Hoosiers Feeding the Hun- gry has helped to distribute approximately 1.3 million pounds of meat to Indiana food banks, providing over 5.2 million meals to Hoo- siers in need. "To date, we have 87 par- ticipating meat processors working throughout Indi- ana to aid us in our mission and to ensure residents in need are served," said Am- ber Zecca, Fund Develop- ment Director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry. "In Gibson County, we are partnering with Ken- ny Dewig Meat Process- ing, Dewig Brothers Pack- ing Co., Tony Rutledge Deer Processing, Zion Lippe Part- ners in Food program, and other local hunger-relief agencies to ensure residents have access to this nutritious protein." On average, the cost of this donated meat is about $1.30 per pound, which is less than $ .30 per meal.
