Hundreds of Debit Cards in Paoli Hacked

0

There have been several hundred debit card fraud cases reported in the area of Paoli in the last few days, possibly due to someone using a skimming device to hack into accounts.

The Paoli Police Department is currently investigating the situation.

“We would encourage people to try and use cash as much as possible until the source of the fraud is located,” noted the Paoli Police Department Facebook page.

At the Hoosier Hills Credit Union, things looked like a scene from “It’s A Wonderful Life” as customers flooded in to withdraw cash and put a freeze on their debit cards.

“You just stop breathing and think, ‘Now, I got hit again,’” Joanne Pielemeier, a victim of the latest scheme, told a Louisville TV station.

Pielemeier and her husband were the victim of 20 instances of fraudulent use of their debit cards. They feel assaulted and robbed, Pielemeier said, but they aren’t alone in their frustration.

“When we showed up this morning, this parking lot was completely packed and we (were) searching for a spot to park in. It’s been coming and going, and coming and going, and everybody’s here for the same thing,” said Angie Howard, another victim.

While the Hoosier Hills Credit Union appears to be the hardest hit, police said customers at the Springs Valley Credit Union and other Paoli banks have also been hacked.

The problem is so widespread, police posted on the department’s Facebook page that they are encouraging people to try and use cash as much as possible until the culprit is found.

According to victim,  their fraudulent charges were mostly made at Walmart stores in Texas and California.

In many cases, thieves are putting $50 on a gift card or spending $100 on groceries.

Credit union executives said they are trying to work as quickly as they can to shut down debit cards that are affected, but they urge members to take a look at their charges as frequently as possible, and if they see anything suspicious, to immediately call the bank.

Hoosier Hills Credit Union said if they call a member about fraud they will not ask for a card number and will cite specific charges that are suspicious.

Messages to Walmart about the investigation have not been returned.

Cream and Crimson Spring Football Game, 04/18/15_Mike Dickbernd
Indiana fifth-year senior right guard Dan Feeney is a member of the Outland Trophy Watch List for the second straight season, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) announced today. The list includes 22 offensive tackles, 20 offensive guards, 17 defensive tackles and 11 centers.

Feeney, an ESPN, Associated Press, CBS Sports and SI.com All-America selection as a redshirt junior, has allowed just one sack in 37 career starts at right guard (2,719 snaps). In 2015, he did not allow a sack in 475 called pass attempts.

The Orland Park, Ill., native finished with a team-best 102 knockdowns in 1,069 snaps. A first team All-Big Ten honoree, Feeney was also a Lombardi Award Watch Lister.

Indiana finished 2015 first in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense, while placing second in rushing offense in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers became the first team since Ohio State in 1995 to lead the league in total, passing and scoring offense.

IU led the Big Ten in scoring offense for the first time since the league began using the entire season as the statistical champion in 1985. Indiana had not led the league in total offense since 1988.

The Hoosiers became the fourth college football team to have a 3,500-yard passer, a pair of 1,000-yard running backs and a 1,000-yard receiver in the same year. IU was also one of only two Power Five conference teams with two 1,000-yard running backs (Baylor).

Indiana opens the 2016 campaign at Florida International on Thursday, Sept. 1 (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU), and kicks off its seven-game home schedule against Ball State on Saturday, Sept. 10 (noon, ESPNEWS). IU also hosts Wake Forest (Sept. 24), Michigan State (Oct. 1, 8 p.m., BTN), Nebraska (Oct. 15, 3:30 p.m.), Maryland (Oct. 29), Penn State (Nov. 12) and Purdue (Nov. 26). Season tickets are available by clicking here, by phone at 1-866-IUSPORTS or in person at the Assembly Hall Ticket Office. The Hoosiers full schedule is available by clicking here.

The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are a part of the annual FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects a 26-man first team and eventually the three Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible.

The list will be trimmed to six or seven semifinalists on Thurs., Nov. 17. Five days later, three Outland Trophy finalists will be named by the FWAA. The winner of the 71st Outland Trophy – named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn at the turn of the 20th century – will be announced on live on ESPN on The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thurs., Dec. 8. For the second straight year, the show will air from the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

The Outland Trophy presentation banquet, sponsored by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee, will be held on Jan. 11, 2017, in Omaha, Neb. This year, Oklahoma’s Greg Roberts, the 1978 Outland Trophy winner, will be honored and presented an Outland Trophy, which was not given in the era in which he won the award. In addition, former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer, will receive the Tom Osborne Legacy Award at the same banquet.

The Outland Trophy is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA) which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. The 22 awards boast over 722 years of tradition-selection excellence. Visit www.ncfaa.org to learn more about our story.

Placed on the watch list for the Chuck Bednarik Award earlier in the week, Replogle enters his final season at Purdue with 113 career tackles, 25.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, three passes defended and a blocked kick.

He posted his best season as junior last year, finishing fourth on the team with 60 tackles, a team-high 14.0 tackles for loss, a pair of sacks and the blocked kick.

Replogle, along with Ja’Whaun Bentley and DeAngelo Yancey, will represent Purdue at the Big Ten’s media day and kickoff luncheon later this month.

Duke Energy gets green light to build 17-MW solar power plant at Crane naval station

0

More clean, renewable solar energy will soon flow to Duke Energy Indiana customers with the construction of a new 17-megawatt solar power plant at Naval Support Activity Crane, also known as the Crane naval station, located about 40 miles southwest of Bloomington, Ind.

7-3

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission has approved a settlement agreement between the company and the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor to build the solar plant, which will sit on roughly 145 acres in the southeast portion of the naval base. It will be the second-largest solar power plant in the state, and the largest on the Duke Energy Indiana system.

WILL BE COMPANY’S SECOND MAJOR SOLAR POWER PLANT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY — CUSTOMERS BENEFIT FROM ADDITIONAL CLEAN ENERGY SOURCE

“This helps provide our customers with a more balanced energy mix using both traditional fuel sources and renewable energy sources,” said Melody Birmingham-Byrd, president of Duke Energy Indiana. “We are pleased to partner with the Navy on a project that will deliver clean energy to Indiana customers, and improved energy security for the Navy.”

Construction activity will begin this month, with installation of approximately 76,000 solar panels. The power plant is expected to start sending solar energy to the grid by early 2017.

The project marks the second major solar project that Duke Energy is building in partnership with the Department of the Navy. The company announced in 2015 a 13-megawatt solar plant at Camp Lejeune in Eastern North Carolina, which is now operational.

Duke Energy is a leader in renewable energy with more than 2,000 megawatts of wind and solar facilities in 12 states.

Houchin Reviews New Laws Now In Effect

0

 

July 1 marked the start of Indiana’s new fiscal year, when many of the laws passed by the Indiana General Assembly during the 2016 session take effect.

2015 Houchin

My colleagues and I addressed a wide variety of issues during the last legislative session. From keeping children safe in school and under the care of a babysitter, to ensuring veterans receive the help they deserve once they return home from military service, I believe these new laws will have a positive impact on Hoosiers throughout the state.

Here are some of the new laws passed by the Indiana General Assembly that are now in effect:

  • I authored Senate Enrolled Act 11, known as the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act. It allows individuals with disabilities to establish tax-free savings accounts without placing benefits they receive at risk.
  • Eligibility for the Military Family Relief Fund (MFRF) was expanded to include all Indiana veterans who served during a national conflict or war with Senate Enrolled Act 295.  The bill also creates a place on state income tax forms to enable a taxpayer to donate all or part of their refund to the MFRF if they wish to do so.
  • Senate Enrolled Act 145, which I authored, establishes a proper military burial process for remains of deceased veterans who have no surviving family members.
  • House Enrolled Act 1005 requires all Indiana schools to check with the Indiana Department of Child Services to see if there are substantiated reports of child abuse or neglect against any employee or contractor.
  • I also co-authored Senate Enrolled Act 357, known as Kirk’s Law, which creates a child-abuse registry similar to the sex- offender registry. This gives families another resource to ensure they are choosing trustworthy individuals to care for their children.
  • Senate Enrolled Act 80 allows a pharmacist to deny ephedrine or pseudoephedrine sales to a customer if the pharmacist believes the product will be used to make meth. This will help curb the increasing number of meth labs in Indiana without affecting law-abiding citizens’ ability to purchase the cold medicines they need.
  • House Enrolled Act 1087 promotes fairness, transparency and reliability in BMV services by simplifying the Indiana Code concerning BMV activities, streamlining registrations and driver’s licenses and reducing the complexity of the BMV’s fee structure.

To view a summary of all laws passed during the 2016 legislative session, visit my website at www.IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Houchin and click “Publications” on the right side of the webpage.

If you have any questions, please contact me by email at Senator.Houchin@iga.in.gov or by phone at 800-382-9467.
