Sculptor Richard Hunt To Return To USI For Free Lecture
Richard Hunt, nationally renowned sculptor, will return to the University of Southern Indiana to present a free lecture entitled Richard Hunt: American Sculptor at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 12 in Carter Hall. Hunt’s presentation will be free and open to the public as seating is available.
Hunt was last in Evansville for the dedication of his sculpture, From Our Past Toward Our Future, on the USI Quad on October 22, 2015. That work, commemorating USI’s 50th anniversary, was commissioned by the University through the generous gift of James A. Sanders.
Hunt has received honors and recognition throughout his career and, in 1971, was the first African-American sculptor to have a major solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His work can be found in numerous museums as well as both public and private collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery and National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He holds memberships in the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National Academy of Design. In 2009, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Sculpture Center and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from Partners for Livable Communities in 2015.
While on campus, Hunt will also meet and work with USI art and graphic design students in classroom and studios. The Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries currently has on exhibit a collection of works by Hunt that is open through October 29. For more information, contact Susan Sauls, art collection registrar, at scsauls@usi.edu.
Law Enforcement Explorer Post Open House
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office will host a Law Enforcement Explorer open house and Recruitment Night on Wednesday, October 18th, 2017 at 6 p.m. The event will take place at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center located at 1901 Lynch Road. The program is open to young men and women ages 16-20 as well as their families.
Law Enforcement Exploring is a career-oriented program that gives young adults the opportunity to explore a career in law enforcement with members of local law enforcement agencies. Founded on July 12, 1963, it is one of the Exploring programs offerd by Learning for Life, a non-scouting subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America. Law Enforcement Exploring provides educational training programs for young adults on the purposes, mission and objectives of law enforcement. The program provides leadership opportunities and community service activities.
Sheriff Dave Wedding explained, “Law Enforcement Exploring is a great way for students to develop leadership skills and improve self-confidence.†Sheriff Wedding added, “Through fun and exciting ‘hands-on’ career related activities and community service opportunities, students will gain valuable experience that will help prepare them for a career in law enforcement.â€
The primary goals of the program are to help young adults choose a career path within law enforcement and to challenge them to become responsible citizens within their communities. During the open house, potential post members will have the opportunity to observe just a sample of what they will see and experience throughout their experience with the law enforcement explorer post program. They will also have an opportunity to meet and speak with current Explorers.
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 82 is open to young men and women ages 16 through 20 years old that are enrolled in High School or College with an interest in learning more about careers in the field of law enforcement. Explorer Post 82 is entering its sixth year in Vanderburgh County. Last year, over 20 youth from local high schools and universities participated in the Explorer Post. During the year, Explorers participated in classroom and hands-on-training with full time law enforcement and emergency services personnel. Training included: first aid, handcuffing and arrest techniques, firearms, emergency vehicle operations, criminal investigations, and community emergency response.
Along with the class room and hands on training, Explorers interacted with children at the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office Tent at the Vanderburgh County 4H Fair, the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival, and staffing positions during Field Sobriety Check Points. Explorers have also participated in several “Ride-A-Long†opportunities.
Agencies from federal, state and local levels coordinate the Law Enforcement Exploring programs throughout the United States. The majority of the community programs are managed by local police departments, including sheriffs, chiefs of police and state police.
Nationally, over 33,000 explorers participate in Law Enforcement Exploring. The program highlights include: the National Law Enforcement Exploring Leadership Academies, motor patrol ride-alongs, career achievement awards, National Law Enforcement Exploring Conferences and scholarship opportunities.
Law Enforcement Career Exploring posts typically meet on a monthly basis during the school year. Most programs parallel the high school calendar and begin in the fall. There are a number of programs that start at other times during the year to meet the needs of the host organization and participants. Programs are flexible enough to fit in with other activities.

Juvenile Court Must Reconsider Modification Petition For Teen Without Counsel
Juvenile Court Must Reconsider Modification Petition For Teen Without Counsel
Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com
A Kosciusko County teen who was made a ward of the Department of Correction will get another day in court after the Indiana Court of Appeals determined the teen did not waive his right to counsel at the hearing where he was made a ward.
In J.G. v. State of Indiana, 43A03-1705-JV-957, J.G. was adjudicated to be a juvenile delinquent for charges including intimidation, criminal mischief and battery and for skipping school. He was ordered to be placed on formal supervision until the age of 18, unless he was discharged sooner.
A few months after his adjudication, J.G. engaged in a physical altercation with his parents and was detained in the Juvenile Justice Center for three weeks. J.G. was later released to supervised probation, but his counsel then withdrew.
On appeal, J.G. argues, and the state agrees, that he was entitled to counsel at the April modification hearing. Both parties asked the Indiana Court of Appeals to remand the case to the juvenile court for a new hearing, which the appellate panel agreed to do under Criminal Rule 25(B)(3)(a) and (C).
“Here, it is undisputed both that J.G. was not represented by counsel at the modification hearing and that he did not waive his right to counsel,†Judge Edward Najam wrote in a four-page opinion on Monday. “Accordingly, we reverse the modification order and remand for a new hearing.â€
