Home- And Community-Based Services Stabilization Grant Deadline Extended to Feb. 18

0

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration will be extending the deadline from Feb. 10 to Feb. 18, for the Home- and Community-Based Services Stabilization Grant opportunity, as described in our HCBS Enhanced Federal Medical Assistance Percentage Spend Plan. Interested eligible HCBS Medicaid providers now have until Feb. 18, 2022, to complete the required grant attestation form.

Additionally, FSSA intends to make an update to the methodology for calculating grant amounts to ensure a more equitable approach in light of the continuing Public Health Emergency. FSSA will now calculate the grant amount as a flat percentage of each eligible provider’s highest annual claims total across calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021. The percentage applied will remain in the previously stated range of 7-8%.

HCBS providers can visit the Indiana HCBS Enhanced FMAP Spend Plan page to obtain more information and access resources including an informational video, FAQ, provider bulletin and Attestation Form. Topics covered in those resources include general background on the grants, eligible provider groups, process and timing expectations, grant methodology and required provider attestations.

General information 

  • Background: As identified in the IN FSSA HCBS Spend Plan, the HCBS Stabilization Grant has been made available by FSSA to support providers and frontline staff affected by the public health emergency.   
  • Purpose: The purpose of the grant is both to retroactively address COVID-19-related expenses and challenges and to recognize the important work of frontline staff, including costs related to compensation and benefits, COVID-19 testing, personal protective equipment, and other COVID-19 related expenses, to allow providers to stabilize their operations.    
  • Eligibility: Currently active HCBS Medicaid providers who were also active during the COVID-19 public health emergency. This is defined as HCBS Medicaid providers who (1) submitted a claims expenditure in CY2021 and (2) submitted a claims expenditure in CY2019, CY2020, and/or CY2021.  
  • Attestation process and timing: Interested qualifying providers must submit a signed attestation form by Feb. 18, 2022, to be considered.

Softball to kick off 2022 season on Friday

0

Aces travel to Monroe, Louisiana

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – It is officially softball season at the University of Evansville.  This weekend, the Purple Aces will open the 2022 campaign at the Best on the Bayou Classic in Monroe, Louisiana.

Coming off its second .500+ season in a row, the Aces are set for a challenging non-conference slate before beginning Missouri Valley Conference action in mid-March.  Evansville will face a tough test right out of the gate on Friday, opening against Stephen F. Austin, who posted a 35-12 record last season.

Friday’s opener against the Jacks will begin at 10 a.m.  UE completes the day with a match-up against Morehead State at 3 p.m.  Tournament play continues Saturday with games against Southern (10 a.m.) and Mississippi Valley State (12:30 p.m.) before a single game on Sunday versus SIU Edwardsville at 9 a.m.

Head coach Mat Mundell returns an experienced and balanced squad with plenty of experience on the field, at the plate and in the circle.  Offensively, the trio of Haley Woolf, Marah Wood and Jessica Fehr bring back excellent numbers from 2021.  Woolf, who was named to the MVC Preseason All-Conference Team, played her best softball as the season came to a close.  The MVC Player of the Week on May 3 went 5-for-8 with three home runs, nine RBI and six runs scored in a sweep over Bradley.

Wood was a 3-time MVC Newcomer of the Week in 2021 and batted .303 with 11 homers, 32 RBI, 25 runs and 25 walks.  Her 11 home runs was the most by a freshman in program history and she became just the 7th place for UE to belt 10 home runs in a season.  A consistent hitter throughout her entire career, Jessica Fehr hit .318 last year on her way to a spot on the All-MVC Second Team.  She recorded 18 runs and 17 RBI.

Izzy Vetter is set to anchor the UE pitching staff.  As a junior, Vetter finished 28th in the nation with 199 strikeouts.  She won 13 games while tossing the first no-hitter of her career against Bradley.

With seven seniors from last season moving on after graduation, Mundell and his staff added a class that includes: Dori Brown, Sydney Weatherford, Paige McAllister, Jenna Nink, Brooke McCorkle, Alex Barnaby and Zoe Frossard.

Fernando Morales inks contract extension

Morales led UE to 21 wins in the fall

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In just over two years at the helm of the University of Evansville volleyball program, Fernando Morales has transformed it into a power in the Missouri Valley Conference and was rewarded on Thursday as UE Director of Athletics Mark Spencer announced that he signed a multiyear extension with the university.

“The job Fernando has done since taking over the program is remarkable.  He has generated a new level of excitement within our university and community,” Spencer explained.  “His teams have performed well inside the classroom and on the floor and we are excited to have him leading our program.”

Morales directed the Purple Aces to 21 wins in the fall, its first 20-win season since 1988.  It was also the first time UE has won 20 matches since joining the MVC.  The team was invited to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship, marking the first postseason appearance since the early 1980’s.

“I am happy to know that I will be here to see the future of the great things that we have started to do,” Morales said.  “We have a great group starting with the student-athletes, my staff, the entire athletic staff and the university administration.  I am very excited knowing that I will be working with this great group of people for many years to come.”

On top of the team accolades, Morales and his staff have coached their players to record-breaking accomplishments while gaining increased visibility and respect around the league.  Alondra Vazquez finished the 2021 season with a program record 494 kills while leading the Valley for the second season in a row.  The season performance saw her earn All-MVC First Team accolades for the second time.

Melanie Feliciano joined Vazquez on the First Team, marking the first time UE has had two players on the squad in the same season.  She played her best volleyball during the conference portion of the season before finishing the year with 3.28 kills and 2.52 digs per set.  Giulia Cardona enjoyed the best freshman season in program history, eclipsing Feliciano’s freshman kills record.  The 2021 MVC Freshman of the Year completed the season with 3.99 kills per set, ranking second in the conference behind Vazquez.  She led the MVC in service aces on her way to a spot on the All-Conference Second Team.

THUNDERBOLTS SEEK TO BUILD ON WIN STREAK IN BIRMINGHAM THIS WEEKEND

0

Evansville, Ind: After sweeping a stretch of 3 games in 5 days against the Vermilion County Bobcats, the Thunderbolts look to keep the winning streak rolling as they travel to Birmingham for a pair of games against the Bulls this Friday and Saturday night.

 Week In Review: 

  The weekend got off to a rough start at Ford Center on Friday, as the Thunderbolts held a 2-1 lead from goals by Coy Prevost and Mike Ferraro before the Quad City Storm rallied with three goals to defeat Evansville 4-2.  On Saturday night, the Thunderbolts shut out the Bobcats 7-0, led by two goals each from Prevost and Cameron Cook, a three-assist night from Austin Plevy, and a perfect 25-save performance from Brian Billett.  In Danville against the Bobcats on Sunday afternoon, the Thunderbolts managed a 2-1 victory off goals from Cook and Prevost, as Bobcat goaltender Ben Churchfield stopped 45 of 47 shots and was the only reason the game was close, with the Bobcats only tallying 13 shots on goal in comparison.  The dam burst once again on Wednesday night at Ford Center, as the Thunderbolts blasted the Bobcats in a 10-2 victory, led by Plevy and Ferraro, who each scored two goals and two assists.  Tyson Kirkby picked up a pair of goals, while Timothy Faulkner tallied three assists.

 

Women’s Soccer Adds Three More To 2022 Roster

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. –University of Evansville head women’s soccer coach Chris Pfau continued to add talented pieces to his 2022 recruiting class on Thursday, as he announced the signing of Chrysta Vasquez (Henderson, Nev./Coronado HS), Kathryn Tyler (Lantana, Texas/Liberty Christian HS), and Joelle Haines (Jacksonville, Fla./IMG Academy) to letters of intent.

Vasquez recently helped lead Coronado High School to a Class 5A state championship in Nevada in the fall, while also playing club soccer for the Nevada club powerhouse Heat FC.  Vasquez was named to the 2021 Nevada Preps All-Southern Nevada first team.  She earned Defensive Player of the Year honors for her high school side, while playing in an attacking role for Heat FC.

“Chrysta is a player that can play anywhere on the field and change the game,” said Pfau.  “She is technical and loves to run at defenders.  Her ability within our program to play wide as an attacking player, but also to move into an attacking center mid position will really help create more opportunities to score.”

Tyler is a two-time co-captain of the Liberty Christian School soccer team, while playing club soccer for FC Dallas.  She earned first team all-district honors as a junior in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS), while also earning academic all-state honors.  Tyler was named the team’s Defensive MVP as a junior, and has the Lady Warriors currently 11-5 on the season, which will conclude with the playoffs later this month.

“Kathryn is another player that can not only play anywhere in the defense, but I also believe could play anywhere on the field,” said Pfau.  “She is a great defender and a great 1-v-1 defender.  She has good skill coming out of the back, and also has great vision.”

Haines comes to UE from IMG Academy in Florida, where she was a part of a club program which finished at the top of its league at three different age levels, including finishing atop the U19 league this fall.  Haines also played volleyball and basketball in high school, and chose UE for the “great academic program and soccer program.”

“I am excited about Joelle becoming a member of our family,” said Pfau. “She comes from an incredible background, being able to play and train at IMG Academy.  The players and coaches she has been able to learn from will really help her at UE.  She is extremely smart and a very technical player with a great work rate, and I really expect good things from Joelle.”

Vasquez, Tyler and Haines join Isabel Valdez (Phoenix, Ariz./Desert Vista HS), Amy Velazquez (Avon, Ind./Avon HS), Kaylee Woosley (Evansville, Ind./North) and Ella McAndrew (Greendale, Ind./Lawrenceburg HS) in UE’s 2022 recruiting class.  Evansville is coming off of a season in which the Purple Aces began with the best start in program history, ranked as high as #5 in the United Soccer Coaches Midwest Region poll, and earned a spot in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament finals.

Gov. Holcomb Signs Executive Orders Granting Medical Clemency

0

INDIANAPOLIS- Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced he signed executive orders granting medical clemency for the first time while in office.

“Today I granted medical clemency to three offenders who are bedridden and diagnosed with terminal health conditions. The three men will be released to the supervision of the Parole Board and will serve the remainder of their lives at a skilled nursing home under the state’s care. In all three cases, the offenders require 24-hour daycare as they are unable to care for themselves.

I granted the medical clemencies after a great deal of research and consideration. These men are no longer a threat to society, and it’s been determined they are better cared for at a skilled nursing home. The Indiana Parole Board unanimously recommended medical clemency for all three men,” said Gov. Holcomb.

The executive orders include information regarding the offenders.
