user29376-1428711543-media1_6d706f_191_240_PrsMe_Indianapolis – Four troopers from the Evansville District were honored this afternoon at an awards ceremony at the Indiana Government Center.

 

2014 Evansville District Trooper of the Year Award

Senior Trooper Kylen Compton received the 2014 Evansville District Trooper of the Year Award.  This award was presented to Compton for achieving outstanding enforcement efforts in the areas of traffic and criminal enforcement, case and crash investigations, public information programs, community service, and who has exemplified the professionalism and integrity expected of an Indiana State Trooper.  Compton is a 10 year veteran and primarily patrols Posey County

 

2014 Top Drunk Driving Arrest for the Evansville Districtuser29376-1428711545-media2_848484_191_240_PrsMe_

Trooper John Davis was commended for his dedication to enforcing drinking and driving laws on Indiana roadways.  During 2014, Trooper Davis arrested 43 impaired drivers.  Trooper Davis is assigned to Pike County.

 

Lifesaving Award

Trooper William Campbell received a Lifesaving Award for his extraordinary conduct in saving the life of an 18-year-old.  On July 21, 2014, Trooper Campbell was on patrol in Vincennes when he responded to a single vehicle moped crash. Campbell found an 18-year-old male unresponsive and lying in the roadway.  The male was not breathing and had no pulse.  Trooper Campbell began C. P. R. and the male started breathing within minutes.

 

The male had been riding his moped when he lost control for an unknown reason.  He was not wearing a helmet and fell onto the roadway striking his head. If not for Trooper Campbell’s quick response and actions, it is likely that the male would not have survived.

 

Commendation Awarduser29376-1428711562-media3_6b6b69_191_240_PrsMe_

Trooper Matt Jacobs and his wife, Lauren, received commendation awards for assisting an elderly couple after they were involved in a serious crash.  On February 9, 2013, Jacobs and his wife were returning to Evansville from a day of visiting with family in Knox County.  While traveling home on US 41 they came upon the scene of a very serious crash.

 

While traveling north on US 41 near C.R. 400 South in Gibson County, an older couple was struck from behind by a vehicle estimated to be traveling at approximately 100 mph.  The impact caused the couples vehicle to rollover trapping the male driver while the female passenger was ejected through the sunroof. Jacobs located the entrapped driver and the driver of the other vehicle that caused the crash, who was later determined to be intoxicated.   Lauren Jacobs, while waiting for her husband to investigate the scene, observed the female passenger lying in a ditch close to the scene.  Realizing how severe the female passenger injuries were, Trooper Jacobs had Lauren retrieve his medical bag and gloves from his car.  Both Trooper Jacobs and Lauren rendered aid and comfort to the female until they were relieved by emergency medical personnel.

 

Trooper Jacobs’ actions and dedication to duty are in keeping with the finest traditions of law enforcement and reflect great credit upon himself and the Indiana State Police.user29376-1428711580-media4_2c3133_240_160_PrsMe_

A Civic Virtue Primer:  A Life Thusly lived by Councilman Dan Adams

Dr. 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

0

 

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.”

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.
