NICK HERMANN ELECTED TO ASSOCIATION OF PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS BOARD

HAMILTON COUNTY PROSECUTOR ELECTED ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

(INDIANAPOLIS – Dec. 20, 2021) – Hamilton County Prosecutor Lee Buckingham was elected as the next president of the Association of Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys during IPAC’s annual Winter Conference earlier this month. Buckingham will serve as president of the Association for 2022.

Joining Buckingham in leadership positions on the Association are Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings (President-Elect), St. Joseph County Prosecutor Ken Cotter (Vice President) and Daviess County Prosecutor Dan Murrie (Secretary/Treasurer).

Buckingham served as President-Elect for 2021, taking over Board responsibilities in July when former Huntington County Prosecutor Amy Richison left for a Magistrate Judge position.

“I’m looking forward to the work we have before us to continue to advocate for prosecutors across the state,” Buckingham said. “There are a lot of challenges the law enforcement community is dealing with right now but I’m confident we can meet them.”

After the election of Association membership at the Winter Conference, Buckingham recognized the 2020 Association President, Tippecanoe County Prosecutor Pat Harrington. The elections for 2021 officers were held via mail due to the COVID pandemic so the 2021 Winter Conference was the first chance to thank Harrington for his work as president during a very tumultuous year at the helm. COVID impacted nearly every aspect of the criminal justice system and Harrington was involved at the state level making sure the voice of prosecutors was heard.

Joining The Slate Of Officers On The Association Board Are The Following:

Bruce Aukerman (Vermillion County)
Bernard Carter (Lake County)
Bill Hartley (Wabash County)
Nate Harter (Decatur County)
Nick Hermann (Vanderburgh County)
Ric Hertel (Ripley County)
Jarrod Holtsclaw (Greene County)
Dustin Houchin (Washington County
Karen Richards (Allen County)

Students hHelp Design Eye-Catching Mural Celebrating Vincennes University Communications Hub

0
VINCENNES, Ind., December 20, 2021 – Vincennes University Graphic Design majors have a 23 feet wide by 41 feet tall “memento” of their time as college students emblazoned on the exterior Davis Hall for all to see as they are passing by on Second Street.
The new Davis Hall mural was created and designed by VU students in collaboration with faculty, staff, and alumni. It is a kaleidoscope of color and bold images that capture the spirit of the University’s television station, WVUT-Vincennes PBS; radio stations, Blazer WVUB 91.1 and WFML The Bridge 96.7; and The Trailblazer newspaper.
Their visual story will live on for many years to come.
“The feeling that so many will see my work is exciting and overwhelming,” VU Graphic Design student Melissa Potts said. “This is a huge accomplishment, and I take pride in our work.”
The mural highlights all the different areas of study that Davis Hall is home to including, broadcasting, radio, journalism, and photojournalism. It is also part of a re-branding effort by Vincennes PBS. The new art replaces a previous mural that depicted the Vincennes PBS studio before its recent facelift.
“Davis Hall has seen several changes since the last mural was installed,” Director of Broadcast Operations Nichole Carie said. “We have since added the Journalism program to the third floor, and that really completes our building as a communication hub. We really wanted this mural to represent all of our wonderful media outlets which operate inside this building and serve our students across many academic areas. We were more than thrilled to work with the graphic design students to help our vision come to life.”
Graphic Design major Zavior Jolly drew inspiration for the new mural from the graffiti/pop-art style he grew up around in Brooklyn, New York.
“I created a giant pop art piece with bright, vibrant colors to expand the possibilities of the mural and give it a new light,” he said.
Potts added, “The design needed to be cohesive, interesting, and most importantly represent VU. There are wonderful students and faculty members in the programs at Davis Hall, so I wanted my concept to be fun and upbeat just like them!”
Designing a mural for a University building is one of the countless innovative hands-on, real-world learning experiences VU offers its students.
“We have been given so many incredible opportunities at VU, including working on this project,” Potts said. “This project has helped me gain the confidence I needed to help me step out of my comfort zone and help me succeed as a photographer. The project has challenged me to think in new ways, taught me to research the subject, and time management skills. All things that will help me in my new career.”
Potts, a mother of two, is following her passion for photography. She currently works as a nurse and is a full-time student from Montgomery, Indiana. She plans to graduate in 2022 with an associate degree in Graphic Design and a concentration in Photography. Potts plans to open a photography business.
The mission of VU’s Art and Design Department programs is to provide students with a strong foundation through creative exploration in traditional and contemporary visual media. Art and Design majors develop creativity, critical thinking, presentation skills, and a portfolio of work that serves as a foundation for later professional practice.
Art and Design Program Chair Ron Wise says the project epitomizes how the Graphic Design Occupational program works.
“Students get the training they need in the two years in the program, and then they are ready to go work in the graphic design field,” he said. “Real-world projects like this one are critical to this training.”
This is one of many projects developed by students for actual clients during the academic year, according to Wise. They’ve designed posters for the College of Humanities Recruitment Committee and have worked on greeting card designs for VU President Dr. Chuck Johnson and the VU Foundation.
“These projects provide great learning opportunities to better prepare students for the professional world,” Wise said. “The Davis Hall mural project provided students more experience in working with Photoshop and preparing graphics for a large scale. I am very proud of Ali Houpey and all of my current students for the excellent work that they have been doing on the project.”
Houpey earned an associate degree in Graphic Design Occupational from VU in 2021. She credits VU and the Graphic Design program for equipping her with the tools she needed to get a graphic design position immediately after graduation.
“As a Vincennes native and VU alum, I feel very honored to have worked on this project and to have it displayed in such a prominent location,” she said. “This mural was made more special with all the VU students, faculty members, and alumni who collaborated on this project. It just goes to show you the great community that Vincennes University has.”
VU offers associate degrees in Art, Graphic Design, Art Education, Pre-Art Therapy, and Photography through the College of Humanities. Explore the nationally-accredited programs at https://www.vinu.edu/web/college-of-humanities/art-and-design.

EPA Announces Nationwide Monitoring Effort to Better Understand Extent of PFAS in Drinking Water

0

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) to establish nationwide monitoring for 29 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and lithium in drinking water. This action is essential to addressing the public health and environmental risks of PFAS in drinking water and marks a significant milestone in EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap.

“At EPA, we are advancing the science and the monitoring that are necessary to protect all communities from PFAS,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “With the data provided by this rule, EPA will be able to develop better regulations while the agency, states, and our local partners will be able to make protective public health decisions that are grounded in science.”

EPA uses the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule to monitor for priority unregulated contaminants in drinking water every five years. UCMR 5 will collect new data on 29 PFAS that is needed to improve EPA’s understanding of the frequency and magnitude at which these chemicals are found in the nation’s drinking water systems. Additionally, expanded monitoring in UCMR 5 will improve EPA’s ability to conduct state and regional assessments of contamination. This will enable analyses of potential Environmental Justice impacts on disadvantaged communities. This data will also serve as a potential source of information for systems with infrastructure funding needs for emerging contaminant remediation.

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended by America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, now requires all drinking water systems serving between 3,300 and 10,000 people to participate in UCMR and specifies that a representative sample of systems serving fewer than 3,300 people participate, subject to the availability of appropriations and sufficient laboratory capacity. If the necessary funds are appropriated, the UCMR 5 will significantly expand the number of small drinking water systems participating in the program, which should provide more Americans with a better understanding of potential contaminants in their drinking water. The rule requires participating drinking water systems to collect samples from 2023-2025 and report final results through 2026.

EPA will hold multiple webinar meetings for stakeholders in 2022. Dates and times of the upcoming meetings will be posted on EPA’s website at: https://www.epa.gov/dwucmr/unregulated-contaminant-monitoring-rule-ucmr-meetings-and-materials.

President of the Board of Directors of HOLA Discuss Partnership Ivy Tech Community College

0

The staff of CCO sat down with Brant Flores, President of the Board of Directors of HOLA (Hospitality and Outreach for Latin Americans) to discuss the recent partnership between this organization and Ivy Tech Community College. 

Staff: Brant, you moved to Evansville from Chicago to establish yourself, your family, and your businesses here in southwest Indiana. Why?

Flores: Evansville is a great community where I have been able to make a difference, I love Chicago, believe me, I still go there a lot, I still have many families and friends, but Evansville gave me the necessary space to settle and grow my aspirations, I have always believed that things are attainable in Evansville. I now own two companies, PMG Landscaping and Triad Demo and Dismantling, that allow me to give my family the life that I always hoped I would give them. I don’t think I would have been able to do the same without the support of the Evansville community, there are many opportunities here, I have worked hard to turn those opportunities into success. In addition, success is not even an option without my employees, part of what keeps me in Evansville is my employees and their families, I have a lot of bread to put on many tables and this keeps me going. But the support of the community has been key for my work and that of my team to take hold and successfully run the companies. 

Staff: You are very involved with HOLA, in fact, you are the President of the Board. What made you get involved with the organization?

Flores: My heritage is very important to me, I am of Mexican descent, and I am aware of the hardships that my ancestors went through so my children could live in this country the way we live. When I was approached by some of the board members to join them some years ago, I felt that HOLA was the premier Latino organization in the Tri-State area. I wanted to give back and thought this was a good vehicle to do that. Our immigrant Latino community is a family-loving, hardworking, good wholesome people that need the right chances to make their own piece of the American dream. Evansville needs more diversity, more workers, and people that can grow our population contributing to this community. I believe that my Latino community is an answer, this is a no-brainer! It is a win-win for everyone.

Staff: What is the HOLA Festival?

Flores: The HOLA Festival is an annual event, and next year will be our 6th Festival at Bosse Field. It is a celebration of our heritage and a celebration of two cultures coming together in one of the oldest baseball fields in the country. The old and the new celebrating in harmony! Our sponsors allow us to bring award-winning musical bands that attract thousands of people from a 6-hour radius to Evansville and local food vendors make delicious food from all Latin American countries. We have had in the past around 8,000 people coming in and out at different hours, eating, dancing, and getting to know local organizations, restaurants, food trucks, and other vendors. We give food vendors free spaces for them to come and sell their food or items while local corporations and businesses sponsor the music and the venue. 

Staff: Tell us about the new partnership with Ivy Tech.

Flores: HOLA has had a long-term relationship with Ivy Tech, in fact, the first-ever fundraiser that HOLA had was there in 2008.  We were able to bring then-Governor Mitch Daniels and Ivy Tech foundation staff to help us put it together.. It was a very important step for a very young organization and Ivy Tech helped us. We also made several tours of the campus where we brought many Latino students and their parents to “get to know Ivy Tech” and for many of them this visit was transformational. This new partnership has been a long time in the making and is called the HOLA Dream Big Scholarship. We always wanted to create a scholarship for Latinos, but we didn’t have a steady stream of unrestricted revenues that were not earmarked for something different. With the HOLA Latino Festival, we have been able to generate and secure the annual stream necessary to commit this funding for Ivy Tech and the Latino Community. We gave $5,000 to Ivy Tech that will go into a fund created by Casey Trela (Ivy Tech’s Director of Financial Aid) to assist these students and Ivy tech is matching that with another $5,000 for a total of $10,000. These monies will be earmarked for Latinos that need help with their education and cannot get federal or state aid.

Staff: Do you have a date for next year’s festival?

Flores: Yes, we do. It will be at Bosse Field on September 24th of 2022! It will be awesome!

Staff: How do people access this scholarship?

Flores: Please get a hold of the Ivy Tech Financial Aid Office and they will love to help anyone that fits the criteria or go to link.Ivytech.edu/HOLA
