A Civic Virtue Primer:Â A Life Thusly lived by Councilman Dan Adams
I found my first life’s passion in June of 1965 as a senior medical student; I was attending a patient who needed his aortic valve replaced. He died on the table ten hours later. But I knew then that I had found my life’s challenge.  High level sports had taught me how to maximally produce, but my study of the fascinating human body was never satisfied and made me a life-time learner…even to this day.  Ten years later, I finally was able to have my first independent job in Missoula MT, a beautiful college town with a too low cardiac surgery patient load.  In 1982, I made my home in Evansville, a fine Midwestern city that I have come to love deeply and know I will never leave.
In 1999, a little event tipped me into a totally different path.  I tripped over a wire in my OR.  Slowly, a life-threatening clot propagated in my leg, and it almost killed me twice.  Recovering, I made a pact with God to find another way to continue to help people.  After some years of searching and obtaining an MBA, city politics attracted me, finding my second life’s passion.  I was elected to our City Council, fulfilling my promise in 2007.
Since then, being retired allows me to meet the job’s variable demands.  I have used my decades of complicated problem solving to hone my skills. Always independently looking for the correct answers from fresh outside data … not the expedient ones, my voting record reflects consistent results of closely listening to all my constituents’ needs… both big and small.  I have assiduously endeavored to produce common sense solutions that create taxpayer value.  I wish to bring the Allied Health Consortium project to completion.

Justices order more proceedings on fees owed to law firm
Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com
The Indiana Supreme Court noted that a trial court did not take into account caselaw when it denied an Indianapolis firm’s request for quantum meruit relief.
The justices reversed the denial of that relief to Cohen & Malad LLP, which sought part of the contingent fees earned in cases that were first handled by its attorneys, including John P. Daly Jr., who was employed as an associate at Cohen & Malad until he left for another firm. Although the trial court found that the Cohen & Malad attorneys – including Daly – worked a substantial number of hours on those cases and that most cases generated attorney fees, it denied Cohen & Malad’s quantum meruit relief.
The trial court found Daly wasn’t unjustly enriched where: the client in each case at issue chose to continue with Daly when he left the firm; Cohen & Malad and Daly had no agreement about what would happen if they parted ways; their employment agreement had no provision for file ownership and lacked a non-competition covenant, Cohen & Malad made a “very shrewd deal†for Daly’s services when it employed him on a salary basis, and Cohen & Malad was “very well compensated†for Daly’s time at the firm, as shown by the amount of fees Daly helped Cohen & Malad generate on other cases while he worked there.
The Court of Appeals affirmed in a 2-1 memorandum decision, but the justices reversed the lower court, citing Galanis v. Lyons & Truitt, 715 N.E.2d 858, 860 (Ind. 1999). The trial court’s findings of facts and conclusions of law did not acknowledge this case or apply its standards. The justices remanded for a determination of what proportional contributions toward the results in the cases at issue were made by attorneys working for Cohen & Malad and to enter a corresponding judgment in the firm’s favor.
The Supreme Court summarily affirmed the COA decision that the trial court erred in holding that Cohen & Malad should have sought recovery from the clients in 24 cases rather than from Daly or his new firm.
The case is Cohen & Malad, LLP v. John P. Daly, Jr., Golitko & Daly, P.C., and Golitko Legal Group, P.C., 29S02-1504-PL-165.
UE Professor Jennie Ebeling Receives Prestigious Award
University of Evansville associate professor of archaeology Jennie Ebeling has been awarded the Annual Professorship at the W.F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem for Fall 2015. Ebeling was awarded this fellowship to work on analysis and publication of the Jezreel Expedition. During this four-and-a-half month sabbatical in Jerusalem, she will analyze ground stone artifacts from the 2013-15 seasons at Jezreel, complete preliminary reports of the first three excavation seasons with co-director Norma Franklin, and conduct small survey and excavation projects at the site with members of the Jezreel Expedition.
The Jezreel Expedition is sponsored by UE and the Zinman Institute of Archaeology at the University of Haifa. It is supported by consortium partners: Chapman University, Moravian Theological Seminary, University of Arizona, Vanderbilt University, Villanova University and Wesley Theological Seminary. The Jezreel Expedition is an American Schools of Oriental Research CAP-Affiliated field project and its field school is the first in Israel to be certified by the Register of Professional Archaeologists.
The expedition team is intent on revealing the history of settlement of “greater Jezreel†from late prehistory through the 20th century. It has unearthed evidence for a settlement over 4,000 years old from the Early Bronze Age, a Middle Bronze Age burial cave with Egyptian-style scarab seals and bronze jewelry, a large Iron Age (biblical period) winery, and more.
“This is perfect timing for a sabbatical,†said Ebeling, “because it is the midway point in our planned six-season project. I look forward to working more closely with Dr. Franklin and other members of the Jezreel team during my semester in Jerusalem and participating in educational and social activities at the Albright Institute.â€
Ebeling earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and Religion from Rutgers University, and her MA and PhD in Near Eastern Archeology from the University of Arizona. A former Fulbright scholar, Ebeling has been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Lady Davis Fellowship Trust to conduct research in ancient technology, food and drink in antiquity, and women in Canaan and ancient Israel. She has co-edited books such as New Approaches to Old Stones: Recent Studies of Ground Stone Artifacts and Household Archaeology in Ancient Israel and Beyond and is the author of Women’s Lives in Biblical Times.
In 2011, Ebeling received the Dean’s Teaching Award from UE’s College of Arts and Sciences, and was awarded the Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award from the UE Alumni Association in 2014. She currently chairs the Department of Archaeology and Art History at UE.
