0

Peoria, Ill.:  The Thunderbolts gained three points out of four on the weekend but ended the weekend on a sour note as the Rivermen came back from 3-1 down late to defeat the Thunderbolts 4-3 in overtime on Saturday night in Peoria.  The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Sunday, December 31st against the Macon Mayhem, puck drop at 7:00pm CT.

Tommy Stang opened the scoring for Evansville 13:25 into the first period off a set up from Bair Gendunov and Myles Abbate to put Evasnville ahead 1-0.  With the assist, Gendunov’s point streak now extends to 9 consecutive games.  9:09 into the second period, Alec Baer tied the game for Peoria with a power play goal.  The Thunderbolts finished the second period strong, scoring two goals to take a 3-1 lead into the third period;  The first goal at 12:53 was Stang’s second of the game, again assisted by Abbate and Gendunov, before Gendunov scored on a 5-on-3 power play from Matt Dorsey and Scott Kirton at 15:27.  Peoria came back with two goals in the final 1:19 of the third period to force overtime, as Cayden Cahill scored at 18:49, and Baer again at 19:18.  In overtime, Cahill scored the winning goal at 3:10 to win it for the Rivermen 4-3.

Stang finished with two goals, Gendunov with a goal and two assists, and Abbate with two assists.  Cole Ceci finished with 33 saves on 37 shots in regulation and overtime.  The Thunderbolts and Rivermen meet again on Friday, January 20th at Ford Center.

CaMSS changes for Structured Family Care

0

As you are aware, the Public Health Emergency officially ended on May 11, 2023, with the Appendix K PHE flexibilities phasing out Nov. 11, 2023. During these flexibilities, individuals who were receiving Structured Family Care (SFC) could also receive Attendant Care (ATTC), Home and Community Assistance (HCA), and Transportation Assisted/Unassisted services. Many care managers have been working over the past several months to coordinate Service Plan updates, but there are still existing Service Plans where these services are overlapping.

CaMSS will be implementing a stop in the system to prevent any overlap in these services effective Jan. 1, 2024. To prevent any issues with updating Service Plans in the future, care managers must update existing Service Plans where Structured Family Care appears in the same months as Attendant Care, Home and Community Assistance, or Transportation. These updates should be coordinated immediately.

The CaMSS team will be monitoring these updates and will be sending a list of Service Plans that have not been updated to each area. Any issues resulting from timely updates not being done will require a help desk ticket to resolve. To avoid any issues, please don’t delay making the appropriate updates.

The Division of Aging is a program of the Indiana Family & Social Services Administration. If you have questions about Aging programs and services, visit us online at www.IN.gov/fssa/aging.

Attorney General Todd Rokita calls on Biden administration to halt economy-wrecking war on power plants

8

Attorney General Todd Rokita continues to call on the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stop plans to impose stringent new emissions standards on power plants in Indiana and elsewhere without fulfilling its legal duty of first weighing costs and energy impacts.

“These ill-considered rules would force the closure of coal- and natural gas-fired power plants,” Attorney General Rokita said. “They would put Hoosiers out of work, raise Hoosiers’ energy prices and erode the reliability of our energy grid. We will not stand idly by while federal overreach strangles the Indiana economy.”

Along with attorneys general from 15 other states, Attorney General Rokita called this week for retraction of the proposed new rules in a letter to EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan.

The EPA has admitted to the validity of concerns expressed in a letter earlier this year from Attorney General Rokita and others. Instead of fixing problems with the new proposed rules or withdrawing them, however, the EPA simply tasked other stakeholders with coming up with solutions.

Attorney General Rokita noted that the new rule-making exceeds the EPA’s statutory authority and would reshape the nation’s electricity grid in an unlawful and destructive manner. The Clean Air Act requires that the EPA consider the cost and energy impacts of emission reduction measures.

“Hoosiers expect and deserve federal policies that protect both America’s environment and its energy infrastructure now and into the future,” Attorney General Rokita said. “These rules completely fail on that count. That’s why we are taking action to scuttle the flawed new rules and produce a better blueprint to serve businesses, communities and individual households.”

SENATOR BRAUN ON BORDER NEGOTIATIONS: THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DESERVES AN OPEN AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS

“Rushed and secret negotiations with Democrats who want an open border and who caused the current crisis will not secure the border,” the senators wrote.

WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Braun joined a letter with 14 of his Senate GOP colleagues requesting a meeting of the Conference the week of January 8, 2024 to discuss the negotiations with President Biden and Senate Democrats regarding border security.

The letter also notes that the process should be open and transparent, because “[r]ushed and secret negotiations with Democrats who want an open border and who caused the current crisis will not secure the border.”

The American people are broadly in support of taking action to fix the southern border crisis. A Wall Street Journal poll last week found 64% of Americans regardless of party affiliation disapprove of President Biden’s handling of the southern border. In another Wall Street Journal poll, Americans noted the southern border and illegal immigration as the second most important issue in the country behind the economy.

Senator Braun was joined on this letter by Senators Ron Johnson (R-Wis), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho.), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

The full text of the letter can be found below.

December 17, 2023

The Honorable John Barrasso

Chairman

Senate Republican Conference

Dear Senator Barrasso:

We write to request that you call a meeting of the Conference to discuss Senate negotiations on securing the border. Rushed and secret negotiations with Democrats who want an open border and who caused the current crisis will not secure the border. The American public deserves an open and transparent process which cannot occur until the House returns the week of January 8, 2024. Accordingly, we request this Conference be held the week of January 8th, but not before.
