BALL STATE ADDS FORMER INDIANA ALL-STAR TO ROSTER The Ball State men’s basketball team has four former Indiana All-Stars on its roster for the first time since 2001-02. The Cardinals added Tayler Persons, a Kokomo native and last season’s Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, to next season’s BALL STATE roster. Persons led North- NEWCOMERS ern Kentucky with 13.1 2015-16 points and 3.7 assists per TAYLER PERSONS, game last season.

Creators workshop with students, faculty before staged reading DANIEL BROUNT FEATURES EDITOR | features@bsudailynews.com With a week to prepare for a staged reading, the writers of the new musical “Mad World” have revised scenes, added new music and even added a new character. In preparation for a staged reading on May 29 at Muncie Civic Theatre, “Mad World” creators Cristian Guerrero, Chandler Patton and Steven Schmidt traveled from L.A. to Muncie to work with Ball State students and faculty on workshopping the musical. “I think what makes this such a great project for the students is that it’s truly collaborative,” said Eva Patton, “Mad World” director and an associate professor in the department of theatre and dance. “Everyone is contributing and sharing in a generous way to help develop this piece, which is fantastic to see.” At Ball State’s first Discovery New Musical Theatre Festival in Summer 2014, “Mad World” was selected as the first place winner out of more than 100 entries. Guerrero said he and the show’s other creators started working on the show five years ago when he was 17, and they have been working on it since.

Ball State is taking part in the Public Health Brigade in the community of El Naranjo, Nicaragua. Ball State is also paired with IUPUI and the University of Cincinnati. Members of the brigade work to build houses with cement floors and a sanitation station.
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 This past academic year, a total of 18 students from the Global Brigades chapter at Ball State sold Buena Vida Coffee, Pulseras and Pura Vida bracelets to fundraise money for the program and airfare costs. The raised funds allowed students to spend one week building sanitary infrastructure and sustainable agriculture projects in underdeveloped communities. The Public Health Brigade worked with the community in El Naranjo, Nicaragua, and the Environmental Brigade worked with the community in Ipeti Embera, Panama. Despite the different locations, both brigades had one unifying goal: improve the quality of life for all.
BUILDING COMMUNITY
Before boarding the plane at the Indianapolis International Airport, Lisak said she left Indiana with an open mind. “You always kinda go into brigades not knowing exactly what to expect,” Lisak said. “The biggest thing was trying to come in with an open mind and just being more flexible than I typically am.” Lisak looked forward to working with the El Naranjo community and the Public Health Brigades of Ball State, IUPUI and University of Cincinnati. The brigades, local masons and multiple families worked together on two family houses. “The greatest thing about GB is that you’re working with the people, not for them,” Lisak said. The brigades worked to give each house a cement floor to prevent chagas disease, and a sanitation station, which consists of an eco-latrine, shower and sink. “We had a little squad of five people who were cement mix-
ers,” Lisak said. “We had six buckets of sand, one bucket of gravel and then one bag of cement powder that was for each batch. We ended up doing probably about 12 batches of that to do the whole floor.” In addition to the community projects, students went to family homes to present charlas (Spanish for “chats”) that educate parents and children about waste management, personal hygiene, how to prevent the spread of disease and dental hygiene. “We had a song for the kids about washing their hands, which was really cute,” Lisak said. “We also did [a presentation] about the transfer of germs and the ways that you can prevent the spread of disease and have a healthier community.” Derek Tepe, a senior Natural Resources and Environmental Management major and president of the Public Health Brigade at Ball State, said in addition to Global Brigades’ holistic model approach to sustainable development and emphasis on cultural exchange, the organization’s main goal is to empower communities for the best quality of life. “Empowerment is the enabling of communities and individuals to lead their own development in a sense that they kind of dictate what path they want to go on. The power is in their hands,” Tepe said.
STEWARDS OF THE LAND
While the Public Health Brigades worked on sanitation projects in Nicaragua, the Environmental Brigade worked in tropical Panama where they planted plantains, corn and cassava. Brigaders also constructed a rock barrier to prevent erosion on the path leading to the tilapia pond, and educated
the indigenous Ipeti Embera community on sustainable composting techniques and waste management. For Jack Fisher, a sophomore speech pathology major and vice president of marketing and social media for Ball State’s Global Brigades, the Environmental Brigade in Panama was his first experience out of the country. In the beginning of the Environmental Brigade, Fisher knew that the group’s work with the community had an impact, however, it was not until the end of the week that he felt rewarded for the work the brigade was doing. “At the end of the last day, I looked out over the field that we had everything planted in and it just kind of took my breath away,” Fisher said. “It just hit me all at once like ‘wow, we transformed this from, you know, nothing to this farm in three days.’” The environment in the Ipeti Embera community is currently threatened by both external forces in the region at large and internal, unsustainable cultural norms that result from lack of
education. Toward the end of the brigade, students presented “charlas” to the Environmental Committee regarding sustainable planting techniques to nourish their dry soil. “Our main goal with the charla was to teach [the community] sustainable techniques by using the rock barriers and using the compost instead of slashing and burning crops,” Fisher said. Brigaders worked alongside the Environmental Committee and delivered an educational workshop on their last day about how to maintain the different components of the Model Farm after the brigade left. “It was different for the Environmental group because [other brigades] see the impact right away or really soon, but ours takes place over time,” Fisher said. “We got to see a small transformation at the farm, but we didn’t really get to see the impact of the corn and the other vegetables and fruit in the community.”

“We happened upon the subject matter — honestly it was a Wikipedia search in the beginning — and we looked at the initial research,” Guerrero said. “And we said we don’t know what this is, but we think there’s a musical in there.” After working on the show for several years, they submitted it to the Discovery New Musical Theatre Festival. During the festival, students performed the top three selected musicals, including “Mad World.” “To see these people that we don’t know, and have no connection to us whatsoever, up there saying our words and singing our songs was so cool. It’s a surreal feeling,” Guerrero said The play follows Lewis Carroll as he first meets Alice Liddell, the inspiration for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” It explores his journey and what he was feeling during the writing of the book. “You grow up on the story, and you never really think about the author,” said Zoe Taylor, a sophomore theatre major and an assistant director. “Then it comes to life, and you start to realize the relationship he had to have with this family in order to make this. It’s so much fun to see these characters come to life.” The goal of the workshop is to prepare another draft of “Mad World” for the staged reading at Muncie Civic Theatre and another reading in L.A. next week. Both performances will ask for audience feedback, which will go toward editing “Mad World” and creating the final draft. Ball State’s theatre and dance department will then perform the show in full during Fall Semester. Each of the staged readings will have different casts, but the writers chose to fly John Banes, a senior musical theatre major who plays Carroll, to L.A. for the second performance. “[Banes is] sensational and

Tickets are $5 his voice is gorgeous, so we want all of our family and friends in L.A. who won’t get to see the production at Ball State — they can’t all fly out here — to kind of get a piece of what it’s going to be,” Guerrero said. With the workshop, the cast and crew are focusing on different segments of the musical each day, making minor and major changes along the way. “It’s like a constant cold read, and so you just have to rely on your instincts,” Banes said. “It’s always interesting being thrown into a situation.” The cast and directors have also given feedback to the writers on what they think of the different parts of the musical. “There’s a sense of helping the writers move the piece along, so they almost become secondhand writers because of how they either perform it or they question it or they challenge what was written,” said Beth Turcotte, founder of the Discovery New Musical Theatre Festival and an associate professor of theatre. “And so they’re involved really on every aspect of the show and the growth of it.” As the workshop continues, the cast and writers will keep pushing the show’s growth. On Tuesday, Johnna Tavianini, music director and an assistant professor of musical theatre, said the cast had to learn a song written less than 24 hours before. “One way or another, we’re gonna make sure they’ve got the tools to learn that song and learn it now, so when they come in tomorrow morning, it’s gonna be done,” Tavianini said. “And I think that is an invaluable skill. You have to give opportunities to them. You can’t just be in the classroom and teach that. But an opportunity like this definitely puts them to the challenge.”

If streamers decide to watch Netflix’s new series “Between,” they will have to wait a week between each episode — but it’s unlikely they’ll even remember the show after a few days of waiting. “Between” explores a small town called Pretty Lake — the only lake they show looks pretty average — hit by a strange disease that kills everyone age 22 and older. After the disease kills most of the adult population, the government puts the town on quarantine. The lack of adults leaves the town without authority, essentially making it a breeding ground for anarchy. Instead of releasing all six episodes at once, Netflix paired with the Canadian City TV network and will only release one episode per week after it airs on City. This method could have worked with other Netflix series, like “Daredevil” or “Orange is the New Black,” but “Between” barely held my attention through one episode. So why would I wait a full week to watch another?
One of the main problems with the first episode is the lack of time given to each character. There is 44 minutes to introduce the plot, eight main cast members and a slew of recurring characters. By the end of the episode, there are deaths that evoke no emotion because the viewer gains no attachment to the characters. Actually, the only character I cared about at all by the end was Wiley Day (Jennette McCurdy), who leads the cast as a pregnant teenager in Pretty Lake. Day is an aloof character who doesn’t seem to take anything seriously, besides keeping the secret of who her child’s father is. Her pregnancy, and outlook on life, makes her inherently more interesting than the other characters, most of whom seem entirely, or mostly, flat. The way her pregnancy plays out and how she handles her baby will hopefully add a new layer to the show. Day is the only one who is almost three-dimensional by the end of the first episode.
With a smaller cast — or at least spreading out the character introductions — this series could have drawn in viewers much more easily. It’s hard to gain interest in a show when the first episode is 44 minutes of bland character introductions and not-so-great acting. The show also tried to introduce numerous settings in that amount of time, from the school, to the homes of almost every character, to the prison and to the hospital. In most shows, that would help develop the persona of the setting, but this just emphasized how generic the setting is. Despite the weakness of the characters and settings, the concept behind the show has a wealth of potential if future episodes dig deeper into the plot. The premise caught my attention as soon as I saw it. Curiosity for the origins of this disease and the future of the quarantined town of Pretty Lake might be enough to keep streamers watching. This series fits well in the current trend of teen dystopian; it

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Extra! Extra! Juan Pablo Montoya still had to pay $2 to read all about it. On a gray and blustery Monday morning, the Colombian spent more than two hours on the Yard of Bricks taking the customary Indianapolis 500 winner photos. His voice was shot, his mood soaring. And when the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s deliveryman rode a bicycle of newspapers over to Montoya and asked how many he wanted, Montoya asked for two. But he had no cash in the pockets of his firesuit, and a scramble ensued to locate the money needed for Montoya’s two papers. With a seven-figure payout looming for winning Indy, Montoya could afford the purchase. His second Indianapolis 500 victory generated the boldprint, feel-good headlines IndyCar needed after a month dominated by flying cars, safety concerns and a seriously injured driver. But Montoya’s win served as a bright reminder that a classic comeback and a thrilling finish in front of a packed house can provide the series with the juice it needs to draw attention to the foundering series. “It was some race when you think about how we started the month, all the issues, the negative things that came out
BASEBALL:
THE THE RACE RACE INDYCAR INDYCAR
NEEDED NEEDED about the race cars,” winning car owner Roger Penske said. “It was a safe race. The world saw the race that we wanted to see come out of Indianapolis, the ‘Greatest Spectacle in Racing.’” Oh, did IndyCar need that thrilling finish. Three cars went airborne last week, leading to a chaotic qualifying day and prompting last-minute rule changes as the series tried to keep the cars on the ground. A day after that, James Hinchcliffe sustained a life-threatening leg injury in a crash unrelated to the flying cars. He’s expected to make a full recovery, but watched Sunday’s race from
his hospital bed. What Hinchcliffe and everyone else saw was a frantic battle between Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing, the titans of open-wheel racing who fielded a combined nine cars. They were the class of the field in dueling Chevrolets and the two organizations combined to lead all but seven of the 200 laps. It became a three-driver battle as the laps ticked off, with Montoya, teammate Will Power and Ganassi driver Scott Dixon clearly the drivers to beat. Montoya had already charged from second-to-last back into the mix, and with the confidence he’d shown early in his career, he didn’t
flinch when Dixon went wheel to wheel with him in a battle of nerves in the closing laps. Once clear of Dixon, he went for the lead in a race in which few drivers wanted to be out front on the final lap. They were thought to be a sitting duck on point, lacking the ability to pull away and forced to defend a potential pass for the win. Montoya went for it and held his breath. He believed his car was better than Power’s, and he was proved right when Power failed to catch him and snatch the win. With that, Montoya was kissing the bricks for a second time, 15 years after his first victory. That win propelled him into
Formula One, where he figured he’d end his career. “I thought I’d retire about 35,” Montoya said Monday. “That’s when people retire in Formula One.” But when he was 31 and couldn’t find a competitive F1 seat, he bolted for NASCAR in a reunion with Chip Ganassi, who had fielded his Indy 500 winning car in 2000. Their time together was up and down: Montoya won two Sprint Cup races and gave the organization what remains its only berth in the Chase for the championship. But the team struggles wore him down, his confidence was shaken and Ganassi let him go at the end

of 2013 to make room for upstart Kyle Larson. Yet there was Ganassi as Montoya began his victory lap Sunday, offering his former driver a congratulatory hug. “When I came to NASCAR, it was hard because like Chip told me, ‘We don’t have the best cars, but I want to work on something, work on having winning cars,’” Montoya said. “We were going in the right direction ... you think you’re pretty good. You go into the next year and it kind of plateaus. It’s like somebody pulled the parachute.” But Montoya is soaring again with Penske. His win Sunday was his second of the season, third since he returned to IndyCar last year, and he’s currently leading the points standings. He’s a championship contender at 39 years old, and he drove a race that IndyCar so badly needed. Montoya says his stint in NASCAR is not to be discounted. “I learned to race a lot smarter, to be honest,” he said. “I was impulsive. That was mentality, and it always worked.”

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Head coach Rich Maloney said the emotional roller coaster was probably like nothing ever seen in the great game of baseball. “They really experienced kind of like the roller coaster of life,” Maloney said. “You’re gonna have some heartache in your life, and you’re gonna have moments of jubilation. And they experienced it all in one day.” For Maloney and his team, facing adversity told the tale of the season. A 7-7 start to the season wrapped up Ball State’s preseason tournament schedule. The Cardinals then reeled off 10 straight victories, including three to begin league play. The No. 31 ranked team to begin the season had a hand in winning 16 straight series at one point, Maloney said. Ball State positioned itself in the upper echelon of the MAC standings early in conference play, looking for a second straight regular season title. Some of the problems began to take their toll on the field, however. Injuries to key players kept them out of the lineup and forced the Cardinals to play younger players. The inconsistent lineup led to a defeat in five straight series.

The Ball State baseball team lost to Akron in the Mid-American Conference Tournament. The loss was another chapter in the season of adversity for the team.
“When we had everybody healthy, we went on a 10-game winning streak that started in Florida,” senior Scott Baker said. Baker, Caleb Stayton, Alex Call, Sean Kennedy, Ryan Spaulding, Alex Maloney and Matt Haro all missed time due to various ailments. Two parents of players on the team had cancer, and another died suddenly. Ball State kept its poise, however, and finished the regular season with a 30-23 record. The Cardinals captured the No. 5 seed in the conference tournament. “All that stuff, and our kids found a way to grind it out, get into the playoffs despite all these calamities and come awfully close to being able to win this thing,” Maloney said. Ball State won its first two games of the double-elimination tournament against Toledo and Akron. Meanwhile, No. 1 Central Michigan and No. 2 Kent State were eliminated in
the first two days. Ball State hasn’t won the tournament title since 2006, but made it to the final game two seasons ago. Last year, the team lost its first two games. “That’s something we didn’t do very well last year,” Baker said. “Once we lost that first game, we were done.” The championship game against Ohio was Ball State’s third game in less than 24 hours after the marathon with Akron. The Cardinals had to defeat the Bobcats twice, but came up short in the first game, 6-2. “I’m really proud of our guys,” Maloney said. “First you win the first two games of the tournament after so many injuries and illnesses. Everything we had throughout the year — so much adversity — to come into the tournament and really play, I thought was pretty outstanding.” Maloney is looking forward to how his team will bounce back
from this season next year. The Cardinals return almost their entire lineup, and Maloney said he doesn’t know a team that returns more players and stars. “They watched Ohio celebrate, they watched Central get all their awards,” Maloney said. “Now they’re hungry. Not that they weren’t before, but now they’re really hungry.” With a strong incoming class to help the returning players, Ball State is looking to be part of NCAA Tournament play. Maloney wants the pitching staff to improve, as it finished 11th in the conference this season. The team had the highest earned run average in the conference tournament. He said this season isn’t too sad after all the success they’ve had over the past few seasons. “It’s an exciting time to be a Ball State Cardinal,” Maloney said. “In the three years we’ve been back, we’ve been to two [MAC] tournament finals and we won a MAC championship. We can’t really feel bad about it.”

Part of the Cardinal Commitment plan was to complete renovations to the First Merchants Ballpark. The renovations will include a new grandstand, press box, concessions, landscaping and restrooms.
BALL DIAMOND LATEST IN RENOVATIONS
Renovations began at Ball Diamond in order to complete the ballpark’s new features during this offseason as part of the Cardinal Commitment Campaign. The changes will include a new grandstand, press box, concessions and restrooms, as well as new landscaping. Ball Diamond featured an all-turf surface and new dugouts for this season. “The dugouts are great — the space we had — and the turf,” head baseball coach Rich Maloney said. “They did it well and we’re very pleased with it.” The softball diamond is also being renovated, and paired with Ball Diamond makes up the First Merchants Ballpark Complex. The crew has already torn down the old grandstand since the home schedule concluded. Maloney said the changes are “a long time coming,” and it’s been great to see how quick they are taking place. Although most of the team’s recruiting for next season is complete, the new facilities will help attract more players to Ball State. He said his staff did a nice job without the new renovations, but it would’ve been nice to have them sooner. “This is really, really important to the future of the program,” Maloney said. “It’ll help recruiting immensely. We can really feel good when we bring a recruit over there.” – JAKE FOX

Anthology offers local kids chance to get published ‘Stomping Ground’ includes memoir, nonfiction writing DANIEL BROUNT NEWS EDITOR | news@bsudailynews.com Ball State’s Creative Writing in the Community class wanted to give youth in the Muncie community a chance to write creatively. Over the course of the 15week class, they did more than that — they gave the kids a “Stomping Ground.” “There is a need in this community, in the Muncie community,” said Lyn Jones, an assistant professor of English and professor of the course. “People want their kids to write outside of school, because that’s not creative writing what they do in school.” For the immersive learning course, the class brought in young students from different Muncie elementary schools. Then the Ball State students spent time writing memoir and nonfiction pieces and working with the kids to produce pieces for the “Stomping Ground” anthology. This was not the first time the class was taught, but it was Jones’ first time teaching it. She wanted to produce a published anthology and impact the community. “I’ve gotten so many calls from people in the community saying, ‘Can we do this again? Can we do this for adults? I want to write about this too,’” Jones said. “I think we have this idea that creative writing is only something for certain people, and we proved otherwise. People want this, so I hope we can do more of it.” Early in the Spring Semester,

A Ball State class gave youth in the Muncie community a chance to write creatively, resulting in a published anthology. The book, titled “Stomping Ground,” contains different pieces that the children and students in the class wrote.
she asked her students to create metaphors of what they think memoir writing is. Niki Wilkes, a 2015 graduate, compared writing to “grabbing a shovel, breaking ground, digging a hole and discovering treasure,” according to a press release. With this metaphor in mind, Lauryn Wiseman, Jones’ teaching assistant and 2015 graduate, came up with the title “Stomping Ground.” “Here were these kids who were just starting to explore this world and creating their own stomping ground,” said Taylor Wicker, a senior creative writing major and class member. “We wanted it to become this metaphorical, communal space for us to explore this beautiful craft together.” Wiseman took on an editorial and technical role in the book. She worked with the Ball State students on improving their pieces for the book, and she noticed the project’s impact on them. “It was really neat to be there and hear how these elementary
kids were affecting these older college students,” Wiseman said. “A few people had said that these younger kids were kind of influencing their own writing, so they were mimicking the style of the younger kid. It was really neat to see the pieces that came out of it.” Jones said she saw the Ball State students influencing the kids and the kids influencing her students. “Many of [the students] learned how to write better themselves. They saw how they overthink things sometimes or can’t tap into that thought or take on a creative prompt,” Jones said. “You should learn as much from your students as they do from you. You can’t just write with creative writers. You’ve got to write with everybody.” There were about 20 young writers compared to 10 Ball State students, so each student worked with a few writers. The students wrote prompts with examples for the kids to give them a model, and the students also wrote pieces in response to

Although the book will not be available for purchase online or in stores for about three weeks, Jones said the group has about 150 ready for the book release on Thursday.
Margaritas to-go sound great, but could they really be sold in the Village? Co-owners of Cleo’s Bourbon Bar, Ryan Clements and Chris Ellison, are planning to merge with Sir Nacho’s owner Emanuel Escamilla to open Three Amigos next month. The three entrepreneurs hope to sell mobile versions of their staple drink in sealed Ball jars. Brandon Thomas, Indiana excise police public information officer, said many establishments sell carry-out margaritas. He breaks down selling liquor to-go below. There are regulations that apply specifically to carry-out drink containers. For Three Amigos, the sealed Ball jar will suffice. No take-home tequila on Sundays, though. Brandon Thomas: The alcoholic beverage can only be carried out if it is done so in the original container. In this case, if the margarita was mixed and poured in a “to-go” cup of some sort it would be allowable. The premises will not be allowed to sell the drinks for carry out on Sundays. Indiana law only allows for on-premises consumption on Sundays. There are a few exceptions to that law for those holding a Brewery or Winery permit. Customers could drink to-go margaritas almost anywhere in Muncie, but Ball State’s campus is dry. So not there. BT: There is no state law that prohibits the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public. In-

diana’s Open Container law only applies to motor vehicles. Some cities have local ordinances prohibiting public consumption and open containers in public. Muncie does not have those ordinances, but alcoholic beverages are still prohibited on Ball State University property. Some liquor licenses only allow for beer and wine to be sold. Puerta al Paraiso, for example, can’t yet sell liquor because it lacks the proper license. Three Amigos should be good to go, though. Puerta al Paraiso currently sells margaritas, but owner Fernando Licona Garcia said they are wine-based. BT: If margaritas are going to be carried out, the premises would need to have a beer, wine and liquor permit. I know that the new Mexican restaurant in the Village [Puerta al Paraiso] only has a beer and wine permit [type 112]. They would be unable to make margaritas in their premises since the main ingredient in them is tequila, which is classified as liquor. Customers will have to walk into the bar to buy togo margaritas — no walking up to what is now the Sir Nachos window. BT: I know they have a walkup window in which food is sold through. They are allowed to only sell food through that window, no alcoholic beverages are allowed to be purchased. If they plan to sell the ‘to-go margarita,’ it will have to be purchased within the premises and actually carried out by the customer. Be ready to present an ID if you appear under the age of 40. BT: Any premises that sells alcoholic beverages for carry out must ask each customer for ID if they appear under the age of 40.
