Painting of Behrman to be unveiled today\nCanadian artist Rajka Kupesic will unveil her painting "Melody of Youth" today at the IU Foundation Showalter House on the Highway 45/46 Bypass. The painting was created in memory of missing IU student Jill Behrman. Behrman, 20, disappeared in late May 2000 during a morning bike ride. Her bike was found a few days later in a cornfield about 10 miles from where she was last seen.\nKupesic, whose son attends IU, said she was moved by the local community's response to Jill's disappearance. "Melody of Youth" depicts Bloomington scenes and a likeness of Jill with her racing bicycle. \nKupesic will attend a wine and cheese reception for the unveiling from 4:30 to 6 p.m. A limited number of signed and numbered lithographs of the painting will be for sale at the event. All proceeds from the sale of the limited edition lithographs of "Melody of Youth" will support the Jill Behrman Scholarship Fund. \nIf you have any information concerning the disappearance of Jill Behrman, please contact the\nBloomington Police Department at (812) 349-3313 or the FBI at (812) 332-9275. There is a $100,000 reward.\nAccomplished Russian translator to lecture\nJoanna Trzeciak, a Ph.D. candidate in Russian literature at the University of Chicago, will come to campus Tuesday to present the lecture, "The Sole Fish and the Sky: On Translating Wislawa Szyborska."
