0

Pelham, Ala.:  Despite trailing by multiple goals twice, the Thunderbolts rallied to tie in the third period before dealing the Bulls only their 4th loss on home ice all season, as Evansville defeated Birmingham 5-4 in a shootout in Pelham on Monday afternoon.   The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Saturday, February 24th against the Peoria Rivermen, puck drop at 7:00pm CT.

 

Mark Zhukov scored only 38 seconds into the game to give Evansville the first lead, assisted by Benjamin Lindberg and Matt Dorsey.  Birmingham managed to score twice later in the period, as Carson Rose scored at 14:24 and Drake Glover at 19:30 to put the Bulls ahead 2-1 through one period.  Josh Harris scored to give the Bulls a 3-1 lead 3:04 into the second period, before a blast from Jordan Spadafore made it one-goal game again, assisted by Dorsey and Zhukov at 6:59.  On their first power play, Birmingham took a 4-2 lead as Joe Colatarci scored at 16:21.  The Thunderbolts comeback began at 17:52 of the second period, as a Matthew Hobbs breakaway was stopped, but the rebound put in by Brady Lynn, with Bruno Kreisz also picking up an assist to make it a 4-3 Evansville deficit.

 

It took only 1:05 into the third period for Evansville to tie the game at 4-4, with Myles Abbate scoring from Dmitry Yushkevich and Dorsey.  The game remained tied, although Evansville outshot the Bulls 16-10 and nearly took the lead multiple times.  Between the second and third periods, Brendahn Brawley was replaced with Ty Taylor, who did not allow a single goal in the third period.  In overtime, the Thunderbolts came closest to winning, with Yushkevich hitting the post with just over a minute remaining.  In the shootout, Nikita Kozyrev scored first in round one for Birmingham to give them a 1-0 lead, before Brady Lynn tied the shootout in the top of round two.  Lincoln Hatten scored in round four to put Evansville ahead 2-1, but Carson Rose tied the shootout at the bottom of round five to keep the shootout going.  Nikita Kozyrev appeared to win the game for Birmingham in round six, however the goal was immediately waived off as Taylor had gotten a slight piece of the puck while Kozyrev stickhandled, counting as a save.  In round eight, Hatten scored again, while Taylor denied Kozyrev again to win the shootout and game for Evansville, 3-2 and 5-4 respectively.

  Zhukov scored one goal and one assist, Abbate, Lynn, Spadafore and Hatten finished with one goal each, with Lynn adding a shootout goal and Hatten with two shootout goals including the winning goal, and Dorsey finished with three assists.  In goal, Brendahn Brawley stopped 22 of 26 shots faced before being swapped for Ty Taylor between the second and third periods, with Taylor stopping all 14 shots in the third period and overtime, along with 6 of 8 shootout attempts for his 1st win of the season.  The Thunderbolts and Bulls meet again on Friday, April 5th at Ford Center.

Jason Gerteisen Files Challenge to Amy Canterbury’s Candidacy for County Commissioner District Three

0

Evansville, IN – This past Friday, Jason Gerteisen officially filed a challenge to Amy Canterbury’s candidacy for County Commissioner District Three. The challenge is based on Canterbury’s voting record, which shows that Canterbury voted in the Democrat Primary in 2022.

In support of this challenge, Mr. Gerteisen stated, “Our country needs patriots to step forward to work on real problems with strong conservative solutions. Too many times have I seen the inner-workings of party politics get in the way of protecting the American way of life. Chairman Duckworth should not undermine Republican office holders that have proven their value, while also not fitting new candidates with seats that would strengthen our party and community.”

Gerteisen emphasized the importance of having candidates who align with the values of the Republican Party and who can effectively represent the residents of District Three and Vanderburgh County. He emphasized the need for individuals who are committed to addressing the pressing issues facing the community and who will uphold the conservative principles that are integral to the Republican Party’s platform.

Gerteisen concluded by affirming his dedication to the constituents of District Three and his commitment to ensuring that the upcoming election offers voters a clear choice between candidates who embody the values of the Republican Party.

Evansville Rescue Mission is honored to announce a gift of $250,000.00

The Evansville Rescue Mission is honored to announce a gift of $250,000.00 from Crossroads Christan Church for the Safe and Sound Campaign to establish the Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children. This remarkable donation exemplifies the church’s commitment to our community’s most vulnerable. According to ERM’s President / CEO, Tracy Gorman, “We hope this inspiring investment sparks conversions in other local churches to participate in this campaign. Together, we can create a safer, brighter future for women and children in need.

Thank you, Crossroads Christian Church, for leading by example.”

The Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children will be a 125-bed facility located at 1400 Professional Blvd. on Evansville’s East Side when completed in early-2025. Currently, the Evansville Rescue Mission is leading a campaign to raise $9,000,000.00 (nine million dollars) to launch the Center. Once completed, the facility will house single women and women with children; offer full programming and case management; provide a daycare; offer a teaching kitchen, hair salon, fitness room, and a chapel. The construction work currently underway is being completed by ARC Contractors, and the project is being managed by LA+D Architects.

Kyle Gorman, Execu?ve Director of Advancement said, “Many of the women and children we will ultimately serve are somewhat invisible to the community right now. They’re living in cars, cheap motel rooms, abandoned houses, and in many cases, moving nightly from place to place.

The Center for Women and Children will offer these people safety, stability, and perhaps most importantly, a place where they are seen and are no longer invisible.”

Reducing court delays due to mental health evals

0

by Wendy McNamara

This session, I’m working on legislation aimed at alleviating delays when it comes to determining a defendant’s competency to stand trial.

The process of determining an individual’s competency to stand trial is among the top concerns of Indiana’s criminal justice system. Often, defendants facing misdemeanors and level 6 felonies spend more time waiting to be deemed ready to face court than they would in jail after sentencing, which not only hurts their chances of rehabilitation, but also bogs down our state’s judicial resources. The goal of my legislation is to speed up the process for the victim and the accused.

A defendant must be considered competent, or able to understand court proceedings, before a trial begins. Determining a defendant’s competence to stand trial may require multiple mental health examinations, which may be requested by either the defense or the prosecution. According to data collected by the Indiana Supreme Court, for 1,629 competency cases heard in the state between 2018 and 2022, the average time between when a defendant is charged and when a competency hearing is scheduled is 348 days.

The length of time these defendants, especially those charged with low-level offenses, spend in jail waiting for a hearing is dictated by the availability of qualified mental health professionals. This bill will update the competency process and alleviate the burden on our criminal justice system.

House Bill 1238 would streamline the mental health exam requirements to help expedite justice. For Level 6 felonies, which are the lowest, only one competency evaluation would be required instead of two. Additional evaluations may be requested by the defense or prosecution. However, the bill would maintain two to three evaluations for level 1 through level 5 felonies, which are more serious.

Currently, the list of professionals who can determine an individual’s competency are limited to psychiatrists, physicians and psychologists – all professions experiencing workforce shortages. To help, the bill would expand the list to include Advanced Practice Registered Nurses with a certification in psychiatric nursing or physician assistants specializing in psychiatry and mental health.A court would also be allowed to dismiss criminal charges against an individual if it is determined they would not regain competency, including after six months of mental health treatment. A judge would be allowed to dismiss if the defendant has certain diagnoses impacting their ability to assist with or understand court proceedings, such as Alzheimer’s, dementia or a traumatic brain injury.

As chair of the House Committee on Courts and Criminal Code, I’m encouraged by the support for this bill including from the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council, the Indiana Public Defender Council, the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association and the Coalition of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses.

HB 1238 now heads to the Senate for further consideration. To follow the bill and watch session live, visit iga.in.gov.
