POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS INSTALLING ADDITIONAL BACKFLOW DEVICES
Backflow devices prevent water from moving from the exterior of a building to its interior. They generally have a plate or other mechanism that blocks out water not flowing in the normal direction.

Second only to his family, Bill Bryant loved Ball State. After graduating in 1986 with a degree in telecommunications, he returned to spend 26 more years teaching and promoting the university. The University Media Services Production Manager spent his time at Ball State not only leading students and faculty in creating video products for the university, but also working to enhance the lives of everyone he interacted with, said Alan Gordon, director of university media services. “He was such a unique individual. He was always friendly, always positive and was always wiling to help others,” Gordon said. “Even if a faculty member came in at the 11th hour and he was getting ready to go for the day, he would go the extra mile to make sure that he could help them.” Bryant died Sunday after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2013, around his 50th birthday. He is survived by his wife and two daughters. “It’s just, he touched so many people and we are going to miss him, but we will never forget him,” Gordon said. “You can’t replace all of the types of qualities he had — he is just rare.” It wasn’t just at the university that Bryant worked to make the world a little better. He created a support group for men with prostate cancer in February of 2013 which met at Muncie Central High School monthly, according to a profile about his group published in Ball Bearings magazine.

all State is developing ways to deal with rising water in a bid to minimize damage in the future after floodwater entered several campus buildings Friday. While Jim Lowe, director of engineering, construction and operations, said he didn’t have an estimate of the total cost from the flood, he said a lot of the costs would be from the manpower. vidually to see why different buildings had flooding instead of trying a onesize-fits-all approach. Of all the buildings on campus, Lowe said the water affected the Wagoner and Noyer Complexes the most. While flooding hit campus, it also had a significant impact on the surrounding area. Because of the flooding throughout the community, Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler tweeted on Friday that sandbags were available and that the fire department water rescue crews are ready if emergency assistance is needed. “Entire city flood emergency! Please don’t go out to travel except emergency,” Tyler tweeted.
Other costs would include power to run the fans and dehumidifiers to dry affected areas, small areas of flooring that might need replacing and other minor fixes. The flooding affected the entire campus from LaFollette Complex to Elliott Hall. “Every one of these buildings took in water in a different fashion,” Lowe said. “It’s pretty spaced out. It’s a broad range of opportunity, and it’s a dynamic change as well. A discussion on improvements today might be different from five years from now because campus is always changing.” Because of the expansive range, Lowe is looking at the problems indi-

The decision to leave Muncie wasn’t an easy one for former Ball State softball coach Tyra Perry. Fresh off an NCAA Tournament appearance in her second season, Perry had connected with many people in the surrounding community.

Ball State men’s basketball coach James Whitford is looking forward to more than game experience during his team’s foreign tour. “Obviously we’re going to a beautiful place in the Bahamas,” Whitford said. “But we’ll get to see the area and see another way of living. In terms of team chemistry and bonding, it’s a huge asset because you get a lot of quality time together.” The Cardinals will leave on Aug. 3 for Nassau and return to Muncie on Aug. 8. They will play two games while in the Bahamas. The games will be

against the PJ Stingers and the Bahamas All-Stars at The Kendal G. L. Isaacs National Gymnasium. Whitford said the opportunity to play in real game situations will benefit the team, because it’s a different environment than controlled practice time. Ball State has a total of 12 practices this summer, including two in the Bahamas. “In any new season, there’s a lot of things you have to teach,” Whitford said. “We have five new players. You have to put in your defense and put in your offense, and those things take time.” The Cardinals return 11 players from last season’s roster that finished 7-23. Whitford said the biggest impact of the foreign tour will be on the newcomers, however.

Purchasing services began the removal process of abandoned bikes on campus this week. Assistant Director of Purchasing Services Andrea Stuffel said she expects purchasing services to tag and collect 150 to 200 bikes. An email sent out on Monday said this year’s bike removal process began on June 29. This week, workers began tagging bikes throughout campus that appeared to be abandoned by either rust, bent frames or flat tires. These bikes are being tagged with a weather-proof band. The bikes will be left where they were found for about two weeks so that the bike own-

New legislation on rape charges, youth take effect Indiana adds dozens of state laws in July, including death penalty, slow motorists THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND STAFF REPORTS
INDIANAPOLIS — The religious objections law that sparked national threats to boycott Indiana is the most high-profile state statute taking effect Wednesday. But several dozen other laws — from enabling charges in older rape cases to targeting slow drivers — are also officially going on the books. Here’s a look at some of those laws:
Rape Cases
• Prosecutors will be allowed to file rape charges after the five-year statute of limitations expires in some instances, including when authorities find new DNA evidence or the attacker confesses. The change comes after a man admitted in 2013 to raping an Indianapolis college student nine years earlier but couldn’t be prosecuted. • The legislation’s author, Sen. Mike Crider, decided to push for modifying the time limit after hearing the woman’s story. He believes “this law will give prosecutors tools to bring charges against sexual predators while empowering victims of this terrible crime.”
Highway Driving
• All motorists in the left lanes of multi-lane roadways — even those obeying the speed limit — will be required to move over and allow faster vehicles to pass, or risk a $500 fine. • The mandate does not apply during traffic congestion or bad weather, or if a driver is exiting on the left, paying a toll or pulling over for an emergency vehicle.
Young Drivers
• Some younger drivers will soon be on the road. A new law drops the minimum age to obtain a driver’s license to 16 years and three months from 16 years and six months for teenagers who complete a driver-education course. The three-month change was made to encourage teens to take the training courses. • Other law changes affecting young drivers include an extension of the ban on using cellphones while behind the wheel. That new law raises the age on that prohibition from 18 to 21.
Beheading
• With the passing of Senate Bill 8, decapitation is now on the list of crimes that are considered eligible for the death penalty. Mutilation and dismemberment could result in death penalty under Indiana law before, but beheading was not considered an example of either of those. • Sen. Brent Steele sponsored the law. It specifically states that the murderer is only eligible for the death penalty if they decapitate the victim or attempt to decapitate the victim while they are alive.

day helped prevent a lot of additional damage. “That’s the secret with a flood. When you have water entering the building, if you can react quickly to remov-
ing that water, you minimize [or] prevent damage,” Lowe said. “In this case, there was enough staff on hand that we really minimized the damage to the campus.”

FOOTBALL
ATHLON SPORTS NAMES LEMBO TO TOP 15
Ball State football coach Pete Lembo is the first coach in program history to win 30 games in his first four seasons as coach. The rest of the country has taken notice, as Lembo was named to Athlon Sports’ Top 15 “Coaches on the Rise” list. According to Athlon Magazine, “The seven losses suffered by Ball State in 2014 were the most in Lembo’s coaching tenure, but the New York native is still one of the top coaches in the Group of 5 ranks. Lembo is 30-20 in four years with the Cardinals, including a 10-3 mark in 2013. Ball State also has two bowl appearances under Lembo. Prior to coming to Muncie, Lembo went 35-22 at Elon and 44-14 at Lehigh, with three combined FCS playoff appearances among the two programs.” Lembo has led the Cardinals to two bowl appearances in four seasons. The team finished 10-3 in 2013-14. He also has four wins against teams from automatic qualifying leagues. – STAFF REPORTS

but a great group of individual people that come from wonderful families.” Perry will make the transition to her third school in four years, replacing Terri Sullivan for the Illini. Sullivan has been the coach since the program began in 2000. She cited the facilities, her comfort with the campus and coaching in the Big 10 Conference as reasons for taking the job. Perry was hired at Illinois in about a week’s time, but she knows the nature of the business by now, and that when summer hits, there is always a flurry of changes. “The opportunity came by, it was a good fit and it’s some-

thing that I’m really excited about,” Perry said. “But at the same time, I’m going to miss Ball State.” Perry is focusing her first days on the job on the recruiting trail. She wants to work on her staff in the near future, as well as integrating herself into the community. For Ball State, the coaching search begins. The team currently has three assistants on staff: Kassie Stanfill, Alex Gray and Jennifer Gilbert. While Perry has replaced some good coaches in her own right, Ball State’s next coach will have to step into her shoes, having led her last two schools to record-breaking seasons in her final year.
After being cut by the Baltimore Ravens in May, Keith Wenning has a new home in the AFC North. The Cincinnati Bengals have signed the former Ball State quarterback after he worked out for the team at Paul Brown Stadium, according to the team’s official site. Wenning is the fourth quarterback on the roster, behind Andy Dalton, A.J. McCarron and Josh Johnson. He will likely land on the practice squad if he remains with the team through the preseason. He spent two seasons with the Ravens’ practice squad after being drafted by the team in the sixth round of the 2014 draft. – STAFF REPORTS
BAHAMAS:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Transfers Ryan Weber, Naiel Smith and Nate Wells, along with freshmen Trey Moses and Tahjai Teague, will be eligible for Ball State this season. There’s always a learning curve with newcomers, Whitford said, but the trip to the Bahamas can advance that learning curve and have the new guys fully integrated by January or February. Whitford thinks the foreign tour can also help the team get off to a fast start in the opening months of the season. The NCAA allows teams to take a foreign tour once every four years. Ball State’s last trip was to Vancouver in 2011, where the
team finished 4-0 and later started the season with a 10-4 record. Although every team can take a foreign tour, and most do, it’s on a school-by-school basis. Ball State received a good portion of the money for the trip through paid games with other schools. Utah bought out of a scheduled game this year for $125,000. Whitford said they were fortunate to be able to raise the money and schedule the tour, and he couldn’t think of a more perfect time for it. “This was our team, our year to do it and it was the right time to do it,” Whitford said. “We have so many new players and so many young guys still. I wanted to take advantage of it this year, and we were fortunate.”

MARRIAGE EQUALITY IS A STEP, NOT A LEAP DANIEL BROUNT DO YOU COPY? DANIEL BROUNT IS A SENIOR CREATIVE WRITING MAJOR AND WRITES ‘DO YOU COPY?’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO DANIEL AT DJBROUNT@BSU.EDU.
When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality on Friday, supporters of the decision ignited with celebration. There were people using #LoveWins, and other people rushing to wed. I even saw some people posting that the Human Rights Campaign needed to find something new to fight for. But marriage equality is a step not a leap, and the fight is not over.
In the push for LGBTQ equality, there are numerous battles being fought, despite the public’s failure to eye them as carefully as it did marriage equality. According to the National LGBTQ task force, 10 transgender women have been murdered this year. The majority of these victims were women of color. In January and February, these murders occurred at a rate of one per week. In 2013, the AntiViolence Project found that 67
percent of anti-LGBTQ homicides were transgender women. Only 22 states have laws against sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace, and only 19 have laws against gender identity discrimination. A 2014 study by the National LGBTQ task force found that of the 1.7 million youth who are homeless each year, 20-40 percent identify as LGBTQ. In 47 states, conversion therapy, which attempts to change someone’s sexual orientation, is still legal for minors. And these are just a small selection of the issues in the LGBTQ community. The latest issues of racial discrimination are widespread, as evidenced
by the nine deaths in a shooting at a church in Charleston and the fact that six predominantly black southern churches burned in just one week. One glimpse at the news, one look through social media, one Google search, one conversation — you’ll find a host of equality issues still alive and well. Marriage equality is just one movement that the United States has finally caught up with. We aren’t moving forward with equality; we’re scraping at the heels of a movement that has progressed too quickly for a nation that was founded on ideals of equality, rights, liberty, opportunity and democracy.
things being fair.” Which is a really accurate description. “And Sadness... well I’m not really sure why she’s here, but I checked and there’s nowhere else for her to go.” That presumption sets the plot up. When Riley turns 11, her life is uprooted and sent half-way across the country in a moving van. Her emotions go haywire trying to understand this transition, and Joy and Sadness are ejected from headquarters. As the plot progresses it becomes clear how her emotions affect her. Any emotion can give Riley an idea, which she can choose to accept or not. This translates to reality as we can allow our emotions to control us or not. The majority of the film follows Joy and Sadness as they travel through Riley’s mind in an attempt to make it back to
headquarters. Without them in control, Riley loses touch with all aspects of her personality. But through this journey, Joy realizes how important Sadness is to Riley’s well-being. When Riley is feeling nothing at all, Sadness is the only emotion that can remind Riley how important her family is to her. Riley’s parents often call her their “happy girl,” and convince her that putting a smile on her face will make a tough situation easier. Resolution comes when Riley tells her parents that she can’t be happy all the time. Her mom and dad express that it’s normal, even healthy, to feel sad. This message is really touching and important, especially for young girls who are constantly reminded to be pleasant and happy, who are told that “the happiest girls are the prettiest.”
I am happy that same-sex marriage can now simply be called marriage in the U.S. I am happy that the U.S. has finally taken this step. I am happy that we can put this fight behind us. But there are still many fights left. People are left to fear violence and hate crimes. People are left to fear losing their already unstable homes and jobs. People are left to fear being reprimanded for being who they are. So many people in and out of the LGBTQ community are left in fear. We can and we should celebrate, but we must remember that there is still work to be done.

Pixar’s newest creation “Inside Out” has inspired more think-pieces than the average cartoon normally does. Fans and [very few] critics have been probed to express what they believe the message of this film conveys and, in-turn, what it means to them. I’ve seen this movie twice now and am totally enamored by the idea, the characters, the development, everything. It’s great. That being said, is it a little emotionally manipulative? Kind of. Before the movie even starts, Pete Docter, the creator of “Inside Out,” appears on the screen
thanking the audience for watching his movie. He says that without them, his dream of making people laugh and cry through animation wouldn’t be possible. It felt genuine and sincere. And while some could argue that it was a marketing scheme, it was still a nice gesture that the audience seemed to react well to. Once the movie begins, the audience is introduced to Riley and, soon after, all of her emotions, including: joy, sadness, fear, disgust and anger. Joy, the protagonist, describes the purpose of each emotion. For example: “Anger really cares about

Over the holiday weekend, except for Independence Day, Muncie residents can use fireworks between 5 p.m. to two hours after sunset. While residents can use their own fireworks from 10 a.m. to midnight on Independence Day, Minnestrista in Muncie and Marrow’s Meadow in Yorktown will both hold Independence Day celebrations.
Indiana laws limit use of fireworks State may issue $500 fine for celebrations beyond certain time, location restrictions STAFF REPORTS
Fireworks are the traditional way to bring in Independence Day, but if residents don’t know Indiana’s fireworks laws, they might find themselves facing a fine. Check out this guide to make sure your fireworks show isn’t a dud.

Tuck in the ends of each one so they stay secure and hidden. *Note: Spacing is important for the finished product to look even. My wire frame was split into five sections. I reserved one whole section on the top left for blue. The other four sections were split between red and brown.
• Indiana state law says that fireworks can only be used from 9 a.m. to two hours after sunset from June 29 to July 3 and July 5 to 9. On Independence Day, fireworks can be used from 9 a.m. to midnight. Local laws can limit these times. • Muncie recently passed an ordinance that says fireworks can be used in the city from 5 p.m. to two hours after sunset from June 29 to July 3 and July 5 to 9. On Independence Day, they can be used from 10 a.m. to midnight. Fireworks are banned all other days throughout the year except from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.
Location • A person can use fireworks on their own property, on another per-
son’s property if they have received permission or an approved discharge location. • Using fireworks elsewhere can result in a $500 fine. If fireworks damage someone’s property, it can result in a $5,000 fine and one year in prison.
Age
• A person must be 18 or older to purchase fireworks. • If someone under age 18 uses or possesses fireworks, someone 18 or older must be present. • If someone under age 18 uses or possesses fireworks without someone 18 or older present, it can result in a $500 fine.
Safety Tips
• Keep a fire extinguisher or have access to water when using fireworks in case of a fire. • Don’t try to light or fix a “dud” firework that did not work on the first use. • Use fireworks in open areas so that people can keep a safe distance from the fireworks. • Make sure to purchase fireworks only from licensed dealers. Do not try to make fireworks or make changes to fireworks. • Store fireworks somewhere dry and away from heat sources. Source: in.gov

Using a paint brush, paint your wooden stars white. It’s important to do this first, so the paint can dry while you’re assembling the rest of the wreath. I used two different sizes, which are sold in bulk at craft stores like Hobby Lobby.
