Northwest Indiana communities frustrated with extended NIPSCO outages

Part of the article:

Georgeff said he’s planning to go to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission and ask it to investigate NIPSCO’s handling of the emergency because even though no one can deny that the storm was unprecedented, he gets a sense that there was no sort of plan of what to do when something happens at all.

“(NIPSCO) raised our rates and locked out its people, which caused more of them to leave, so we now have more contractors here where the trucks alone cost $500 a day. That’s not even the cost of the crews running them,” he said. “And we know that NIPSCO will get reimbursed by FEMA, so there needs to be an investigation, and I really think some heads need to roll.”

This part too 😡

“I’ve been out talking to contractors in my neighborhood who’re just sitting there waiting for direction, and a couple of them said they don’t want to tell me what’s going on because it would (make me mad),” he said Monday. “The communication with NIPSCO has been terrible; you can’t get a person to talk to, so they make you go online where you know the message has been vetted and doesn’t tell you anything. There’s no personal communication.”

Need to hire someone to relocate bird's nest

I live in Highland. I have a bird's nest with nestlings currently in it on my garage. The issue is the nestlings keep falling out onto the concrete, so I need someone to remove the nest and relocate it to a bird house. I also need the area closed off with a board and I need the bird house placed next to the nest. I'd do it myself, but I'm not confident about handling wild animals. If anyone wants to make some extra cash today or tomorrow, please contact me. Please only reply if you know you can do the job without harming the nestlings. Thanks

To make a two part mold, you have to embed part of the piece in clay right? Like melt down some monster clay and set half your piece in it, then pour the silicone, etc. But what if you're making a mold from a piece made with monster clay? How do you embed monster clay in monster clay? Do you just coat it in something? I'm so sorry for my possibly very dumb question. I've only made one part molds and I've never used Monster clay, but I have some and I'd like to use it

I need a very competent dentist who is great at placing high quality crowns. I recently had a terrible experience and need to replace a newly placed bad crown. I don't care if its expensive. I just want to not have to fuss around with this issue anymore. If you've had nice looking, perfectly fitting crowns placed within the area I'd really appreciate your recommendation. Thank you!

I looked at the ballot today and realize I need to do some research, but I'm wondering if anyone on the ballot is particularly awful. Did we have any local politicians voting for data centers for example? Sorry if this seems lazy. I'm just very busy right now, but I'll do my best. Also anyone particularly awesome? Thanks!
