LEXINGTON, Ky. (Monday, Oct. 23) — The push to have equines treated the same as other agricultural livestock, the potential to use the lure of horses to further expand the commonwealth’s considerable tourism industry, the effort to cultivate a trained workforce and how historical horse racing is growing the industry were among the topics examined at the Kentucky Equine Education Project’s second Equine Industry Conference last week.
“Our second Equine Industry Conference highlighted many of the most important issues Kentucky’s horse industry faces,” said Joe Clabes, KEEP’s Executive Director. “Bringing industry leaders and policymakers together to discuss how we capitalize on recent gains and address ongoing challenges is critically important to the betterment of the Commonwealth’s signature industry.
“Kentucky is seeing growth in its horse industry, across many breeds and disciplines, at a time when the vast majority of other states are moving in the opposite direction. These discussions will help us continue to build on that success.”

Indiana State Police and U.S. Attorney’s Office for Indiana host Interdiction for the Protection of Children Seminar

0

Last week seventy-four officials from the law enforcement community from around the state attended a seminar on the Interdiction for the Protection of Children (IPC). The seminar was hosted by the Indiana State Police and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana.  Twenty-two troopers from several districts were among the attendees.  Others included probation officers, school resource officers, court officers, prosecutors, and several law enforcement agencies.

The class was presented by the Texas Department of Public Safety on Monday and Tuesday and continued on Thursday and Friday with additional certifications for individuals that would become trainers.  Four troopers, four ISP detectives and four victim services partners from the Indiana Traffic Victim Assistance Program (ITVAP) obtained their trainer certifications.

The ITVAP works to identify and provide comprehensive services to youth victims of trafficking or sexual exploitation.  ITVAP has partnered with existing IPATH task forces, the Indiana State Police, youth services bureaus and Safe Place programs across the state.

The IPC was designed to help make patrol officers more aware of the resources available to them and help assist them establish the status of a child.  The IPC teaches a multidisciplinary approach used in combating sex crimes against children and locating and identify missing, endangered and exploited children.   It provides an understanding of what courses of action are immediately available to officers.  The class also teaches the indicators of an endangered child and the type of questions that need to be asked for a victim centered approach.  It provides a basic understanding of behavioral patterns of both suspects and victims and helps the investigator articulate their findings.

This course was offered free of charge thanks to a generous grant from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and the U.S. Department of Justice.

USI Volleyball begins busy week with Dig for Cure match

0

University of Southern Indiana Volleyball begins a busy week with its annual “Dig for the Cure” match Tuesday at 6 p.m. when it hosts Midwest Region foe Trevecca Nazarene University at the Physical Activities Center.

Following Tuesday’s tilt with the Trojans, the Screaming Eagles (9-14, 3-8 GLVC) travel to Liberty, Missouri, to take on William Jewell College Friday at 7 p.m. They conclude the week with a trip to Kirksville, Missouri, to take on Truman State University Saturday at 3 p.m.

Live stats and GLVC Sports Network coverage for all three matches can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

USI Volleyball Notes
Eagles bounce back with big win after five-match win streak ends. USI’s five-match winning streak came to an end with a three-set loss to Bellarmine University Friday in Louisville, Kentucky. The Eagles, however, bounced back with a four-set victory over the University of Indianapolis Saturday in Indianapolis.

USI posts first road win over UIndy since 2002. The Eagles’ win over Indianapolis Saturday marked the first time since September 20, 2002 that USI has defeated the Greyhounds in Indianapolis.

Last week’s leaders. Sophomore outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey (Floyd Knobs, Indiana) averaged 3.57 kills per set to lead the Eagles’ attackers last week, while sophomore middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) chipped in 2.29 kills and a team-high 1.71 blocks per frame. Freshman setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) had 9.86 assists per set, while senior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) and junior defensive specialist Haley Limper(Springfield, Illinois) respectively tallied 4.43 and 2.86 digs per set.

GLVC statistical watch. USI has three players ranked in the top 10 of the GLVC to begin the week. Senior middle blocker Te’Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) ranks sixth in the GLVC with a team-high 1.12 blocks per set, while Cepicky and Humphrey are respectively seventh and eighth in assists per set (8.59) and kills per set (3.25).

Record watch. Senior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana) ranks second all-time at USI with 1,723 career digs. Farrell is chasing former USI standout libero Kayla Heldman, who amassed a school-record 1,848 career digs from 2010-13.

Senior middle blocker Te’Ayla Whitfield (Fort Wayne, Indiana) also ranks 13th all-time at USI with 265 career blocks and 10th all-time at USI with 230 block assists.

USI versus Trevecca Nazarene. The Eagles are looking to avenge a three-set loss they suffered to Trevecca Nazarene in Nashville, Tennessee, a year ago. The Trojans begin the week with a 4-18 overall record and a 1-11 mark in Great Midwest Athletic Conference competition.

USI versus William Jewell. The Eagles are 5-0 all-time against the Cardinals following a three-set win over William Jewell in Evansville last year. The Cardinals begin the week with a 9-15 overall record and are fourth in the GLVC West Division with a 3-8 league mark.

USI versus Truman State. Truman, which defeated the Eagles in four sets last year in Kirksville, Missouri, begins the week ranked third in the GLVC West Division with an 11-12 overall record and a 4-7 mark in GLVC play.

A look ahead. USI returns to the Physical Activities Center for its final three regular-season home matches November 3-7. The Eagles host Quincy University November 3, the University of Missouri-St. Louis for Senior Day November 4, and Indianapolis November 7.

 

COA: No findings needed to deny teen juvenile court

0

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

A 17-year-old convicted in adult court of obstruction of justice and carrying a handgun without a license has lost his appeal of the denial of his motion to transfer his case to juvenile court, with the Indiana Court of Appeals ruling the trial court was not required to enter written findings to support its denial.

In Cameron Tibbs v. State of Indiana, 49A02-1701-CR-154, 17-year-old Cameron Tibbs was sitting in a vehicle at an Indianapolis gas station when David Bowman began threatening Shanice Dozier, who had been in the vehicle with Tibbs but exited when she noticed some cash on the ground. Bowman claimed the cash was his and threatened to kill Dozier if she did not give it to him. Bowman also put his hand in his pocket as if to reach for a gun.

After briefly exchanging words with Bowman, Tibbs pulled out a gun that he had in the car and fatally shot Bowman in the chest. Tibbs and his passengers then immediately drove away, and the gun was never found.

After turning himself in to police, a jury acquitted Tibbs of murder but found him guilty of Level 6 felony obstruction of justice and Class A misdemeanor carrying a handgun without a license. After the verdict but before the Marion Superior Court entered judgment of conviction, Tibbs, who had been tried as an adult, requested his case be transferred to juvenile court for adjudication and disposition. However, because Tibbs had been arrested a second time for a gun-related crime while out on bond before his trial, the trial court denied his motion without issuing a written order.

story continues below

On appeal, Tibbs argued the court was required under Indiana Code section 31-30-1-4 to enter findings explaining the denial of his motion to transfer. But in a Monday opinion, Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Michael Barnes wrote no such requirement exists in the applicable statute, which holds that a court “may … transfer jurisdiction to a juvenile court” after consideration of certain enumerated factors.

“If the legislature had wanted to require such findings, it knows how to do so,” Barnes wrote. “In fact, there is an express statutory requirement for a trial court to enter findings in support of a discretionary decision to waive a juvenile into adult court. The legislature chose not to enact such a requirement for a ‘reverse waiver,’ and we will not read one into the statute.”

“… In fact, a trial court is not even required to enter findings to support a judgment of conviction following a bench trial, which is the most consequential decision a trial court can make,” Barnes continued. “We decline to impose a requirement that trial courts enter findings in support of rulings on a motion for ‘reverse waiver’ under Indiana Code Section 31-30-1-4(C).”

Fourth Street Market by Pat Sides

0

 

For over a century, the widened blocks on Fourth Street between Chestnut and Locust were home to Evansville’s first municipal market. It was established in 1848, a few months after Evansville officially became a city, and was second only to Main Street in commercial traffic. Chiefly farm products were sold in the early years of the market, and during cold months, farmers butchered and sold fresh meat. After the Civil War, the market expanded rapidly, with dozens of saloons, grocery stores, bakeries, and other enterprises in operation, as well as an occasional carnival adding to the festive atmosphere. The market closed in 1966, when business activity was transferred to the municipal market on Pennsylvania Street at First Avenue.
