Attorney General Todd Rokita Issues Statement On U.S. Supreme Court Case Marion County Health And Hospital v. TalevskC

Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued the following statement:

“Alongside the Marion County Health and Hospital Corporation, our team is preparing to argue important principles of law before the U.S. Supreme Court next month in the case Marion County Health and Hospital v. Talevski.

“At issue is whether someone who is not a party to a contract with the federal government may sue to enforce the terms of that contract. Specifically, this case pertains to grants issued by a federal agency to a state or local government.

“Such lawsuits by non-parties impose significant burdens on state and local governments — and thereby upon individual taxpayers. In the last three years, Indiana alone has litigated over 1,200 civil rights cases.

“Some commentators have construed this case as being principally about the rights of the elderly and their families to use the legal system to advocate for their proper care. And we all want nothing but the best care for our seniors.

“But this case principally concerns the need to hold grant relationships accountable to voters — and the need to respect the authority of Congress. That means that individual beneficiaries who are not parties to the contracts should not be able to sue to enforce grant conditions unless Congress expressly authorizes them to do so.

“When individual beneficiaries bring unauthorized lawsuits to enforce federal grant conditions, they invite unelected federal judges to interfere with how state and federal officials carry out the jobs the public expects them to perform. The proper functioning of democracy requires that such judicial interference not occur unless Congress has expressly authorized it.

“The chaotic state of implied-rights doctrine only exacerbates the litigation burden — and therefore the taxpayer burden — imposed by these kinds of cases. So, the issue of whether federal grant conditions confer enforceable civil rights is a nationally important issue warranting the Court’s consideration.

“Our office is proud to fight for the fiscal integrity of the state when administering federal programs. We look forward to combining forces with the Marion County Health and Hospital Corporation to argue this case in the U.S. Supreme Court next month.”

Attached is a brief filed earlier this year in this case by Indiana and 21 other states.

IU Beats Mizzou in Home Opener

 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – No. 8/13 Indiana swimming and diving took care of business in its first home meet of the 2022-23 season, earning wins for both teams against No. 18/RV Missouri on Saturday (Oct. 29) inside Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center.

Diving had another dominant day on the springboards, with three athletes combining to sweep the four events. Additionally, eight IU divers totaled 14 NCAA zone qualifying marks. For the women, junior Anne Fowler posted season highs on both the 1-meter (316.05) and 3-meter (337.65) boards to win both events.

Sophomores Quinn Henninger and Carson Tyler were each other’s toughest competition in the men’s diving events, both scoring at least 400 points on each board. Henninger won their duel on the 1-meter board, 416.63-409.13, with the next-best diver scoring 343.05. On 3-meter, Tyler just outscored Henninger, 415.50-411.30, with third place going to freshman teammate Maxwell Weinrich who posted a 365.93 score.

Despite many IU swimmers competing outside of their normal events, Hoosiers were still able to pull off individual wins and highlight performances.

Sophomore swimmer Anna Peplowski continued her great run of form, this time in the freestyle events. After sweeping the backstroke races in each of IU’s first two meets this season, the reigning Big Ten Women’s Swimmer of the Week won the 50, 100, and 200-yard freestyle events on Saturday. In the 200, she posted an NCAA B cut of 1:46.81 to win by over three seconds.

The men’s Big Ten Swimmer of the Week, Brendan Burns showed his competitive edge in the men’s 200-yard freestyle. Normally a butterfly and backstroke swimmer, Burns faced up against Missouri’s Jack Dahlgren, who finished 13th in this event at the 2022 NCAA Championships. After trailing Dahlgren by four-tenths through the first 50, Burns used his advantage underwater to outpace Dahlgren the rest of the way. In a photo finish, Burns touched in 1:36.11 and beat Dahlgren by six hundredths.

After breaking 20 seconds in the 50 free for the first time in his career last week, senior Van Mathias did so again while setting a personal best of 19.60 on Saturday. Mathias was the lone swimmer to beat 20 seconds, including relays, in Saturday’s meet and just missed the NCAA B cut mark, which is set at 19.59.

Two freshman swimmers earned their first collegiate individual wins. Mya DeWitt swam the 200-yard backstroke in 1:59.79 and Katie Forrester captured the 200 flies in 2:01.39.

Foster Farms Recalls Fully Cooked Frozen Chicken Patty Products Due to Possible Foreign Matter Contamination

FOSTER FARMS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2022 – Foster Farms, a Farmerville, La. establishment, is recalling approximately 148,000 pounds of fully cooked frozen chicken breast patty products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically hard clear pieces of plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The fully cooked, frozen, breaded chicken breast patties were produced on Aug. 11, 2022. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:

  • 80-oz. plastic bag packages containing 20 pieces of “CHICKEN PATTIES BREADED CHICKEN BREAST PATTIES WITH RIB MEAT” with best by date “08/11/23,” establishment number “P-33901,” and lot code “3*2223**” in inkjet print on the back edge of the packaging as well as “7527899724” under the barcode.

These items were shipped to Costco distribution centers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, and Washington, and may have been further distributed to Costco retail locations.

The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that it received consumer complaints reporting hard clear plastic embedded in fully cooked, frozen, breaded chicken breast patty products with a best by date of Aug. 11, 2023.

There have been no confirmed reports of injury associated with consumption of this product, but FSIS believes the hard plastic pieces could be sharp and possibly cause an injury. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and retailers are urged not to sell them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the Foster Farms Consumer Hotline at 1-800-338-8051 or info@fosterfarms.com. Members of the media with questions about the recall can contact Ira Brill, Vice President of Communications, Foster Farms, at 209-394-6891.

Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) or live chat via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Consumers can also browse food safety messages at Ask USDA or send a question via email to MPHotline@usda.gov. For consumers that need to report a problem with a meat, poultry, or egg product, the online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at https://foodcomplaint.fsis.usda.gov/eCCF/.

WHOSE OX?

GAVEL GAMUT By Jim Redwine

What is wrong with the American political system? Why are people so upset? Are we living in the End Times, the dreaded Eschaton? Why is Kanye West (Ye) such a pariah to many and a voice crying in the wilderness to some? Will Donald Trump save America or destroy it? How about Joe Biden? Was that referee blind when he called pass interference against my team or maybe he had a bet on the game? Really, can someone explain to me how anyone can see any possible redeeming value in talking to Putin? We probably ought to just go ahead and push our button before he does his. And, what is it about lawyers? If I hear one more attorney say to me, “On the other hand,” I am going to throttle him. There is only one side to an issue, the right side. I do not need someone telling me to consider someone else’s views in politics, religion, the Supreme Court or my in-laws. In other words, there is nothing wrong with America, or the war in Ukraine, that could not be fixed if they “would put me in charge.”

These thoughts woke me up at 4:00 a.m. Georgia Time this morning after Peg and I had had a discussion with two of our Georgian (the country) friends yesterday afternoon. I had casually raised the thought that much as America reacted to the Cuban Missile Crisis, perhaps Putin was concerned about the United States and other NATO countries having military installations near Russia’s borders. Of course, we know we would not launch any nukes into Russia, but does Putin? Perhaps we should apply a lawyerly analysis and try to see the situation from all points of view. Well, I tell you, Gentle Reader, that was not a popular approach with my Georgian friends whose country has already been seriously encroached upon by Russia. In the Russia vs. Ukraine War, most Georgians and most Americans see only one side with one point of view. Russia fired before talking, so Ukraine and its allies should do the same. After all, Georgia or Moldova, or Poland may be next. If history is the guide, as it often is, then trusting Putin to be reasonable is not reasonable.

Peg and I like our Georgian friends who have been gracious and welcoming. Georgia is a beautiful country and our apartment right on the Black Sea would not show well ringed with Russian war ships. We do side with Ukraine as I also made several Ukrainian friends when I taught Ukrainian judges for a couple of weeks over Christmas time in 1999-2000.

Russia is in the wrong and Ukraine is in the right. That may start the analysis, but it should not end it. A nuclear war is not in Ukraine’s best interest nor in Georgia’s. And it most certainly is not in America’s. So, as I cautiously kept the remainders of my lawyerly, Jesus-type of mote and log reasons about Putin to myself, I thought about all those times our friends and family wondered what was wrong with us when we gently said, “On the other hand.”

VU VOLLEYBALL BACK-TO-BACK UNDEFEATED REGION 24 CHAMPIONS

VU VOLLEYBALL BACK-TO-BACK UNDEFEATED REGION 24 CHAMPIONS

VINCENNES, Ind. – The No. 1 seed Vincennes University volleyball team successfully defended their Region 24 crown Saturday afternoon at the P.E. Complex with a sweep over No. 2 seed John A. Logan College 25-16, 25-21, 25-23.

The Trailblazers completed their second straight 12-0 Region 24 season, moving their winning streak to 24 matches against Region 24 opponents.

The win Saturday was also Vincennes Head Coach Gary Sien’s 700th career victory, as Coach Sien came away with the NJCAA Region 24 Coach of the Year award.

Vincennes got off to a slow start on their home floor Saturday and were forced to play from behind early in the opening set.

VU would grab a small lead after a 4-0 run before later regaining and extending their lead with a 7-0 scoring run.

Vincennes put the first set away with a 6-0 scoring run as VU took the first set of the match 25-16.

After falling behind again to start the second set, the Trailblazers responded again to take the lead with a 4-0 scoring run.

VU would grow their lead to five before the Volunteers rallied back to even the score at 20-20.

Vincennes then used a 4-0 scoring run to help close out the second set by scoring five of the last six points to take set two 25-21 and take a 2-0 match lead.

The Trailblazers looked to close out the sweep in the third set but again had to battle from behind early.

Vincennes would use four separate small 3-0 scoring runs to slowly chip away at the John A. Logan lead before taking the lead at 21-20 and holding on as the third set goes the distance and VU comes away with the 25-23 set win.

“The entire time since I’ve been back with the team I’ve been thinking about my father,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said after his father passed away in early September. “His birthday was yesterday. So that has been prominently on my mind and if nothing else, after winning today, the thought of him comes up.”

“I don’t keep track of my wins, my family does,” Sien added. “My brother has been texting me the last couple of weeks telling me how many wins away I am from 700. I promised him I would mention that, even though I didn’t want to.”

“The toughest thing to do in sports is defend a title,” Sien said. “Playing the whole season with the proverbial target on your back and it wasn’t like we returned all of the major players from last year’s team. When you do, they know what they have to defend, but when you have a lot of new players as we do, then it can take them a whole season to really understand the level of competition and the rivalries that we have in Region 24.”

“I always want to credit our sophomores for always instilling in our freshmen how important this is,” Sien added. “As the saying goes, it’s sometimes not as difficult to win it as it is to defend it. There were several moments when we could have dropped it, like last night. That’s always a challenge when everybody is always gunning for you. But I have said all year that this group has been an awesome group to work with. Once they got an understanding of how important these Region games are, they really competed and I think now, after winning today, these freshmen will fully understand what this is about.”

“We really wanted to instill in the freshmen that what we did last year was historic, but let’s not stop there,” Sien said. “Let’s keep going and do something else that is going to make history here and we are still not done. We have a chance next week to host the District Tournament and that’s another major step for this program. We are not done and this sophomore group knows that. They have been talking about Districts for over a year now. About how disappointed they were a year ago. I think now the freshmen understand what the sophomores have been talking about.”

“When you have goals for your program when you reach one, we say let’s go for another one,” Sien added. “When you reach those types of milestones and goals, that’s when you can say if a program has success or not. With this youthful group that we have, especially after today, they understand that now and I believe that they understand it fully.”

VU was led offensively by the freshman-hitting duo of Paige Parlanti (Las Vegas, Nev.) and Audrey Buis (Franklin, Ind.).

Parlanti finished off her 23rd double-double of the season with 12 kills, 15 digs four blocks, and two aces, while Buis ended the day with 10 kills and one block.

Freshman Alexis Chrappa (Effingham, Ill.) finished with seven kills, two blocks and one dig, while sophomore Malgorzata Banasiak (Gdynia, Poland) came away with six kills and three blocks.

Freshmen Tuana Turhan (Ankara, Turkey) and Nisa Salis (Ankara, Turkey) again protected the net well with Turhan ending with three kills, six blocks, and three digs, while Salis picked up two kills, five blocks, and three sets of assists.

Sophomore Hannah Graber rounds out the VU offense with one kill, two aces, nine digs and a team-high 21 set assists.

Graber helped run the VU offense with fellow sophomore setter Josephine Mulligan (Saint John, Ind.) who ended her day with 14 set assists, six digs, and one ace.

Freshman libero Morgan Netcott (Montague, Mich.) led the Blazers defensively with 24 digs, three set assists, and a pair of aces.

Sophomore Lara Gomes de Castro (Sao Paulo, Brazil) also came through to add 11 digs and one ace for the Blazers.

“It’s kind of hard to just mention any individual players today because everyone contributed so fully,” Sien said. “It’s almost like you can’t just single out one or two players, it was everybody. The offense was very nicely balanced. Paige was our highest with 12 kills, but even that’s not a whole lot in a three-set match. Audrey had 10 and everyone else had between three and seven. That’s a really nice balance.”

“We had some difficulty with our serve receive and first contact last night, but the team said before we left the locker room today that we had to continue to play like we did in sets four and five last night,” Sien added. “It was like we said we were going to have a short memory and forget all about sets two and three last night, it’s a distant memory now and just continue that run from four and five because we played so differently. It was almost like having two different teams out there.”

“I just really want to get a lot of credit to our mentality today as a team,” Sien said. “The team realized what they needed to do, set goals and then did it. As a coach, when you have players that step up like that and talk about those things amongst themselves, what more can you say. Not only did they say it, but then they went out and did it.”

“We could mention the individual performers, but I just really want to give credit to how we approached this game as a team,” Sien added. “From this morning when we first got together, through warmups, this team handled it nearly perfect today and the way the game came about was a result of that. We as coaches can’t be any more proud of them for taking that initiative. We have some tremendous leaders and when they decide that it’s time to step up, we are a much better team.”

The Trailblazers will continue playing next weekend when VU hosts one of two NJCAA Midwest District Championship tournaments.

The Midwest District consists of teams from Region 24, Region 16 in Missouri, and Region 11 in Iowa.

The Trailblazers will host the District Championships next weekend on Sunday, Nov. 6. Teams and game times are yet to be announced.

“This is kind of like our third season,” Sien said. “We had the regular season, you have the second season with the Region Tournament, but now we are likely playing teams that we haven’t played this season.”

“This sophomore group really wants to have a sense of redemption and really want their chance after they felt that we should have done better last year at Districts,” Sien added. “So, you have that in play, plus we get to play at home. That’s huge. Especially because it’s really hard to beat us at home. I’ve been saying for two years, it seems like the stars have aligned where not only do we host the Region, but Region 24 hosts the Districts as well. So, everything is really in our favor to do extremely well.”

“We just really want to prove that our Region is competitive,” Sien said. “That’s something that I have had in mind really since day one. The Regions in Missouri and Iowa are really good, but we want to prove that we belong. In a sense, in Region 24, we compete against each other, but when we go to the District Tournament, we are going to root for the other Region 24 schools. What better way to show that we belong than being the Region 24 to advance the furthest, that’s the goal that we have in front of us.”

No. 4 seed Kaskaskia defeated No. 3 seed Lake Land College in the Region 24 Third-Place game Saturday morning in four sets, 25-18, 20-25, 25-15, 28-26.

The Week in Indiana History

1806     On their return from their famous expedition, William Clark and Merriwether Lewis stopped in Vincennes.  During their three-year journey, they had explored lands of the Louisiana Purchase and the Pacific Northwest.  In Vincennes, they drafted a letter to send to President Thomas Jefferson in Washington.

1903     Two trains collided near 18th Street just northwest of downtown Indianapolis.  One was carrying Purdue football players and fans to the annual Indiana/Purdue game which was to be held in the capital city’s Washington Park.  Seventeen people were killed in the wreck, including 14 members of the Purdue football team.  Scores of others were seriously injured.  Among the survivors was Purdue team captain Harry G. Leslie, who went on to serve as the 33rd Governor of Indiana (1929 – 1933).

1932     On his first campaign for the presidency, Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to over 80,000 people on Monument Circle in Indianapolis.  He was joined by his wife, Eleanor, on the balcony of the English Hotel.  In his remarks, he said, “It will be the purpose of the new administration to bring order out of chaos.”

Headline

1938     The “War of the Worlds” radio drama convinced many listeners that Martians had invaded the Earth.  The classic story by H. G. Wells was presented as a series of news bulletins that interrupted regular programming.  In Indianapolis, a woman ran into a church during Sunday evening services to report that the world was coming to an end.  (Pictured:  Headline from The Indianapolis Star)

Jack1960     Comedian Jack Benny appeared on stage as guest soloist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Izler Solomon.  For the star of vaudeville, radio, TV and movies, it was a benefit performance to a full crowd at the Circle Theater.  He kept the audience laughing while playing his violin between jokes.  Referring to the thousands of dollars Benny raised for the orchestra, newspaper critic Charles Staff said, “The music he makes may be sour, but the money he makes for others in a good cause is sweet.”

1963     On Halloween night, a propane tank exploded during a performance of “Holiday on Ice” at the Indiana Fairgrounds Coliseum.  The blast killed 74 people and injured more than 400.  The explosion propelled people, chairs, and concrete 40 feet into the air.  The gas had been sparked by an electric popcorn machine.

     On Sunday night, October 30, 1938, a woman ran into St. Paul’s Methodist Church.  It was the middle of the evening service for the church, located at Rader and Eugene Streets in Indianapolis.  This lady was one of many who had been listening to a radio program entitled “The Mercury Theater On the Air” hosted by Orson Welles.  When she rushed into the church to report that the world was coming to an end, Pastor Charles Lizenby took it calmly.  He paused for a moment of prayer and then allowed concerned members to go home if they wished.  Some of them left for a short while, but many returned soon to say it was all a false alarm.  Media accounts of the time indicated that out of the six million listeners of the program, nearly one million thought the Martians were real.
