Children Just Might Come First

0

BY GAIL RIECKEN CCO StateHouse Editor

This past week Governor Holcomb introduced the findings of the Child Welfare Policy and Practice Group that he hired to study the Department of Child Services. 

The article in the Statehouse File (June 20) briefly outlines the high points of the study.  But from one who listened to so many complaints from the community, employees, and groups working with DCS,  the one main criticism was that the operation was paralyzed by the centralization of decision making. 

I can remember walking through the call center in Indianapolis watching employees do their job. It had gotten so tedious. Here these folks, essentially removed from what was happening on the ground, were to make a judgment about proceeding with the claim brought to them by locals who had already analyzed it for themselves.

And that was just the beginning of the centralized process. 

It was another layer of bureaucracy built, in my opinion, because the state didn’t want to give locals the opportunity to succeed or to learn from their mistakes. It was all about control. (The call center change occurred before Director Bonaventura.)

Taxpayers spent thousands of dollars on the new call center and staffing, training and computer programs, money that could have gone to the children. 

So all encouragement and positive thoughts to those involved who will look at decentralization as a priority. Here is the statement from the report.

16. DCS should identify opportunities to work toward decentralizing decisions that directly affect work with children and families. This would involve: (1) forming a workgroup of local FCMs, supervisors, county office directors and selected state office staff to review local decision-making authority and its limits related both to policy and spending; (2) attending in particular to policy revisions that better facilitate immediate access to funds to meet concrete needs of families as a means of addressing child safety.

The best to all of you who will work to put our children first.

Vote On Indiana Federal Judicial Nominees Held Over

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

The nominees for the Northern and Southern Indiana district courts will have to wait at least another week before they receive a vote from the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary.

The committee unanimously agreed Thursday to hold over a host of nominees to the federal bench. Included on that list were Holly Brady and James Patrick Hanlon, nominees for the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts, respectively.

Both Indiana Senators, Todd Young, a Republican, and Joe Donnelly, a Democrat, gave their support when Brady and Hanlon testified before the judiciary committee on June 6. During his remarks, Donnelly noted that Jane Magnus-Stinson, chief judge for the Southern Indiana District, was at the hearing.

Although the Hoosier Democrat did not explain why the chief judge in attendance, Carol Tobias, University of Richmond School of Law professor, saw Magnus-Stinson as making an “astute political move” by going to Capitol Hill. The Southern District of Indiana is in a judicial emergency with one of the highest caseloads among the district courts in the country and what will soon be two vacant seats.

The U.S. Senate has been slow to fill the vacancy created when Judge Sarah Evans Barker took senior status in June 2014. Winfield Ong was nominated by President Barack Obama and approved on a voice vote by the judiciary committee, but he never received a vote by the upper chamber.

James Sweeney, partner at Barnes & Thornburg, has been tapped to fill Barker’s seat. Like Ong, the judiciary committee approved his nomination on a voice vote, but he is still awaiting a vote on the Senate floor. If confirmed, Hanlon will fill the seat that opens when Judge William Lawrence takes senior status on July 1.

Tobias said Magnus-Stinson’s trip would give her the opportunity to “button hole” the Senators and impress upon them the great need in her district court for judges. It was a “smart move on her part,” he said.

Six Run Second Leads Otters To Sweep Of Miners

0
The Evansville Otters completed a three-game sweep of the Southern Illinois Miners with a 7-4 victory on Sunday evening at Bosse field in front of 1,504 fans.

The Otters struck for six runs in the second inning to break the game open. With runners at first and third, Mike Rizzitello started the scoring with an RBI single to left. A Manny Cruz single then loaded the bases before David Cronin drew a four-pitch walk to force home a run and put the Otters up 2-0. With the bases still loaded, Ryan Long took the first pitch he saw and deposited it over the right field fence for a grand slam, his third home run of the season, which put the Otters up 6-0.

Southern Illinois got one back in the sixth on a Chance Shepard RBI double.

The Otters got that run back immediately in the bottom of the inning on a Rizzitello sacrifice fly.

Southern Illinois mounted a comeback in the ninth inning as they plated three runs on a two-run double from Harrison Bragg and a sacrifice fly from Austin Homan, but it fell short as Kyle Griffin struck out Kurt Wertz Jr. to cap off the 7-4 victory.

Otters starter Austin Nicely picks up his third win of the season after throwing seven innings of one run baseball. Nicely struck out a season-high eight batters and walked only one while conceding just five hits.

Austin Dubsky takes the loss for the Miners. Dubsky threw just two innings and allowed six runs on four hits and three walks.

The Otters will have an off day on Monday before returning to action when they begin a three-game series with the Gateway Grizzlies at Bosse Field on Tuesday evening at 6:35 p.m.
