awn chairs and picnic baskets filled the quad Saturday night as families and friends gathered to enjoy the Muncie Symphony Orchestra’s annual “Festival on the Green.” The event, hosted by the Muncie Arts and Culture Council, offered local artists from Muncie and surrounding areas the opportunity to showcase their work. Artists sold everything from stuffed animals to handbags. Mary-Ellen Bertram, who runs a photo studio in Farmland, was selling greeting and note cards featuring her photos. “I’ve gotten into this whole line of fine art as opposed to portrait work, and I needed a venue to show it off,” Bertram said. “You take a photograph and you fall in love with it and you think, ‘maybe someone else will too.’”

BSU defers eminent domain Officials end case aiming to claim local business’ property RACHEL PODNAR STAFF REPORTER | rmpodnar@bsu.edu
Ball State called off plans to use eminent domain to claim the property of a local business, a decision that took the business owner by surprise. In an email to the Daily News on Thursday, associate vice president of marketing and communications Tony Proudfoot said the plan to move forward with McKinley Commons by taking Hiatt Printing through eminent domain had been deferred.
“The Ball State trustees and administration believe strongly that the project would be of great benefit to our students and the university community,” Proudfoot said. “We will step back and consider our options for best achieving the goals of the project in a different location or turn to other strategic priorities.” Hiatt Printing owner Chris Hiatt was not expecting the announcement. “I don’t know whether [my litigation appeal] effort made Ball State nervous, I have no idea. Somewhere down the line they decided this wasn’t the path they wanted to see Ball State follow,” Hiatt said.

TIMELINE April 25, 2012
Ball State announced its plan for a new $25 million facility, McKinley Commons. The building was to be located on the northeast corner of University and McKinley avenues and include a fourstory residence hall, hotel, conference center and two restaurants.
May 23, 2013
Three court-appointed appraisers estimated Chris Hiatt’s property value to be $375,000. In a prepared statement, Proudfoot said Hiatt demanded $1.3 million. Hiatt released a proposed purchase agreement, dated in 2011, asking for $949,900.

TRUSTEES INCREASE TUITION, SALARIES Raise of 2 percent is Ball State’s lowest in more than 35 years
STEVEN WILLIAMS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF | editor@bsudailynews.com
Ball State’s funding situation is slowly improving, and students and faculty will start receiving the benefits in the Fall Semester. The Board of Trustees approved a 2 percent increase in tuition and fees for each of the
next two years, the lowest since 1976, and a 3 percent increase in salaries and wages for faculty during its meeting. The increase will be $90 per semester in 2013-14 and $92 per semester in 2014-15 for in-state, full-time students. The increase is still larger than Indiana University-Bloomington’s 1.75 increase and Purdue’s choice to freeze tuition, but the state handed Ball State major cuts in the 200911 and 2011-13 biennia. The state gave Ball State a modest increase overall in the 2013-15 biennium.
Randy Howard, vice president for business affairs and treasurer, said the small increase is a result of a few factors including a growth in enrollment. “[We] did at least get some increase from the state, so that helped rather than a cut,” Howard said. “And then we implemented a lot of efficiencies over the last few years and that has helped us. “I would say the state funding situation is starting to get a little better. I think we still have challenges with the funding formula.” In the 2013-14 approved budget,

faculty and professional staff will receive a 3 percent increase in salaries and wages, with 70 percent of it being merit-based. Ball State staff will receive a 2.5 percent increase in salaries and wages. The $339.3 million budget will also include $400,000 allocated toward faculty promotions and high-merit increases. Trustee Frank Hancock, from Indianapolis, said he hopes the funding formula improves to allow even smaller tuition increases in the future.

New building to offer retail, apartments Demolition set to begin July 19 on University Square block in Village SAM HOYT CHIEF REPORTER | sthoyt@bsu.edu More than $50 million will be invested in a parking garage, retail area and apartment space in the University Square block of the Village, but the money may be paying for something much more valuable.

The company that we’ve worked with on this project has been very successful.” Todd Donati, director of the Muncie Redevelopment Board, said everything regarding the plans has been approved. “They will close on their deal on June 14th,” he said. “By the 17th, they’ll start plans for demolition for that block and a half. They’ll probably start leasing space by January of next year and preparing to lease space for the school year of 2014. It should be fully functional and ready to go by August 1st of 2014.” Whittenberg Construction from Louisville and Garmong Construction from Terre Haute have been chosen as the developers and permits are being requested in Indianapolis, but not everyone supports the plan.

HIATT: Business to continue to serve BSU community

Ball State had acquired the other necessary properties in the area and, in a press release on April 25, said the plans for the development were in the “final stages.” The decision to defer ended the ongoing litigation over the use of eminent domain. A Delaware county court had ordered the appraisal of Hiatt Printing

[Students] can look for a lot more variety of activity. I think the social climate will be a big impact on the area.” The Redevelopment Board unanimously supported the plans. Tyler said the redevelopment plans are designed to improve the students’ experience in Muncie. “We appreciate them being here, we enjoy them being here, we want them to enjoy their time here,” he said. “What we would hope is that they see Muncie continue to grow and create more diver-
sity and opportunities that the students may want to stay here upon graduation.” Tony Proudfoot, Ball State’s associate vice president of marketing and communication, said the university is encouraged by the forward thinking of the city. “It can only help revitalize this critical commercial area which is vital to the quality of life of both the university and the community,” he said. “We have every hope and expectation that it will be successful in attracting even more investment to the area. A strong mix of investment from public, private and nonprofit partners will help establish the Village as a destination in our community.” No businesses have signed
a contract to lease the retail space that will be available, but Donati said many have expressed interest, including Home Run and Cluckers. Tyler said it’s important to know that people outside Muncie want to invest because of the push the city and the community are making toward a better quality of life. “We’re talking about well over $160 million in new investments in the city of Muncie this summer and over 90 percent of that is private dollars,” he said. “That shows me as mayor of Muncie, and I would think that it would show other people, that there’s outside people that are tremendously interested in the city of Muncie and we need to capitalize on that.”

at $375,000 and Hiatt allegedly requested $1.3 million. Proudfoot said the gap could not be reconciled and it is best for the university to stop the eminent domain proceedings. It is too early to say whether or not the plans for McKinley Commons will be shelved or carried out in a new location, he said. “The board has always been sensitive to the use of eminent domain and hoped to reach a reasonable settlement with the property owner. The trustees had hoped that the appraisal would help inform the negotiations,” Proudfoot said. Hiatt did not only contest Ball State’s offer under eminent domain, but also the university’s right under Indiana law to the privilege itself. He plans to use his experience to influence legislators to change the law. “Ball State, as any other sub-

Linda Gregory, a member of the Muncie City Council, disagrees with the city’s decision to financially support a private enterprise to this extent. Donati said he doesn’t understand how someone could oppose plans that would lead to short-term and long-term community benefits. “Both of those companies have committed very strongly to use local labor as much as possible,” Donati said. “The mayor has a agreement to review before these projects are awarded so that he can make sure local contractors are getting the opportunity.” He said the plans will increase the visibility of the Village. “They anticipate it being

NBA FINALS
Heat even series at 1 Mario Chalmers led all scorers in Miami’s route of San Antonio
David Fizdale may step away from Miami after Finals
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Back with a blowout, and, no, the Miami Heat didn’t need to lean on LeBron to get it. Not when Mario Chalmers and everyone else came through. Chalmers led the charge, James broke out to finish it with a flurry and the Heat used a 33-5 run to blow away the San Antonio Spurs 103-84 on Sunday night to even the NBA Finals at one game apiece. James missed 10 of his first 13 shots and the Heat trailed by a point late in the third quarter before unleashing the lethal brand of basketball that led them to a franchise-record 66 wins this season. Chalmers finished with 19 points, and James had 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while shooting only 7 of 17 from the field. “I know my shooters only need a little bit of room to get the shot off,” James said. “For me, I struggled offensively, but the shooters made some good shots.” The Heat made 10 of 19 3-pointers and got 13 points from Ray Allen, and 12 points and 10 rebounds from the previously slumping Chris Bosh. Danny Green made all six shots, including five 3-pointers, and scored 17 points for the Spurs. They host Game 3 on Tuesday night. Tony Parker had 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting for the Spurs, who were so precise in their 92-88 victory in Game 1 but threw the ball all over the white-surrounded court Sunday, committing 17 turnovers that led to 19 Miami points. “In the second half they just run us over,” the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili said. “We didn’t move the ball at all. Their pressure really got us on our heels.”

The Miami Heat’s LeBron James takes the shot between three San Antonio Spurs players in Game 2 of the NBA Finals at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla., on Sunday.
James insisted he wouldn’t force himself to do more after he had a triple-double in Game 1 but never seized the opportunity to take control of the scoring as the game was slipping away from the Heat. He didn’t need to. Not with Chalmers making big shots, the Heat’s defense forcing the Spurs to look shaky all over the floor, and a barrage of secondhalf 3-pointers. James finally got some openings late, hanging from the rim an extra second not long after a sensational blocked shot freed him up for a fast break. The often-maligned Chalmers is frequently found in Heat highlights being yelled at by James or another Miami veteran. But he’s as cocky as any of the superstars in Miami, and he has the big-moment plays to back up his bravado, from a tying shot for Kansas in the 2008 NCAA championship game to his 25 points in Game 4 of last year’s finals. The point guard sparked the Heat late in the third, after San Antonio had taken a 62-61 lead.

He converted two three-point plays, Allen and Mike Miller nailed 3-pointers, and James made only his third field goal of the game during a 14-3 finishing spurt that sent Miami to the fourth with a 75-65 advantage. They opened the fourth with nine straight points to make it 84-65, and capped the run at 94-67 when James made a 3-pointer, erasing any chance of their first two-game losing streak in five months. “We were just a little bit more active today,” Bosh said. “We really just made an emphasis to continue to try to corral them.”
The Spurs had only four turnovers in Game 1, tying an NBA Finals record low. But they surpassed that total in the first quarter, Parker committing two of their five after not coughing it up once in the opener, and the Spurs looked more like the sloppy Indiana Pacers from Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals than the Spurs of Game 1. The unrecognizable play continued, Parker firing passes on the pick-and-roll right into a Heat player’s leg on multiple occasions and even getting yanked barely three minutes into the third quarter after his struggles continued. The Spurs responded with seven straight points without him to get back within one. But by the end of the period, it was Chalmers who was the best point guard on the floor. They arrived to white shirts hanging on the seats that read “Larry loves Miami” with a picture of the Larry O’Brien trophy that goes to the NBA champion. Larry’s not leaving, not if the Heat keep playing like this.
MIAMI — Mike Budenholzer is in his final series on the staff with the San Antonio Spurs. David Fizdale is now often mentioned as a candidate for jobs that could take him away from his job with the Miami Heat. Meanwhile, all either of those guys could care about is beating the other in the NBA Finals. Whenever a head-coaching vacancy is created in the NBA these days, it usually isn’t long before some of the league’s top assistants get mentioned as candidates to fill the role. Budenholzer was hired by the Atlanta Hawks last month as their new coach, and Fizdale has been mentioned as a potential hire in several cities so far during these playoffs. It can be quite a distraction. But in the cases of Budenholzer and Fizdale, the task at hand in these finals takes absolute priority. Budenholzer’s future is crystal clear: He’s moving to Atlanta. In Fizdale’s case, any talk of his future is all speculation,. He was presumed to be on the list of candidates in Cleveland and Detroit before they made hires earlier in this postseason, and most recently has been reported to be under consideration in Philadelphia. Fizdale insists he has not spoken to any clubs during the Heat’s playoff run. “No one’s contacted me and I’m not necessarily pursuing anything,” Fizdale said. “All I can think of is the Spurs right now.”
It’s not all that common for people to leave the Heat organization, and even Fizdale acknowledged only the right offer would sway him elsewhere. “Think about my position,” he added. “I’m a 38-year-old assistant coach and I get to talk to Pat Riley every day.” Fizdale has been in Miami since 2008, and his loyalty to the Heat is quite clear. Fizdale’s role with the Heat is tough to describe; he has his hand in everything. “Genius,” is how Heat forward Udonis Haslem described Fizdale. “Genius offensively. We can probably credit 70 to 75 percent of the offensive packages that we run and the spacing and putting guys in position to take advantage of their strengths, putting LeBron in the post and all those things that we’ve been able to do to capitalize, credit that to Fiz. His offensive mind is incredible.” When his time comes — and it will — Fizdale said he’ll seek input from Riley, Spoelstra, Heat assistant Ron Rothstein and some of his other mentors, including Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, former NBA coach Eric Musselman and Knicks coach Mike Woodson. If they say whatever opportunity that presents itself is worth looking at, then he’ll have a decision to make. “That part is flattering, that people actually have any notion of me being a head coach,” Fizdale said. “I mean, that is a dream come true to even be mentioned as a guy who can lead a team and that I’m a person they would want to take the next step with. But at the same time, I’ve got a job to do right here. I’m very happy here. I feel like I’ve got the best assistant coaching job in the league.”
Nadal wins French Open, breaks record Rafeal has won most times at 1 Grand Slam event with 8 | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — If Rafael Nadal truly was going to be challenged, if his bid for an unprecedented eighth French Open championship would be slowed even a bit, this might have been the moment. Leading by a set and a break 70 minutes into Sunday’s final against David Ferrer, another generally indefatigable Spaniard, Nadal faced four break points in one game. The last was a 31-stroke exchange, the match’s longest, capped when Nadal absorbed Ferrer’s strong backhand approach and transformed it into a cross-court backhand passing shot. Ferrer glared at the ball as it flew past and landed in a corner, then smiled ruefully. What else was there to do? Dealing with Nadal’s defenseto-offense on red clay is a thankless task. His rain-soaked 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Ferrer was Nadal’s record 59th win in 60 matches at the French Open and made him the only man with eight titles at any Grand Slam tournament. “I never like to compare years, but it’s true that this year means something very special for me,” Nadal said, alluding to the way he managed to come back from a left knee injury that sidelined him for about seven months. “When you have a period of time like I had,” he added, “you realize that you don’t know if you will have the chance to be back here with this trophy another time.” But he does it, year after year. He won four French Opens in a row from 2005-08, and another four in a row from 2010-13. “Rafael was better than me,” said Ferrer, who had won all 18 sets he’d played the past two weeks to reach his first Grand Slam final at age 31. “He didn’t make mistakes.”
A week past his 27th birthday, Nadal now owns 12 major trophies in all — including two from Wimbledon, one each from the U.S. Open and Australian Open — to eclipse Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver and equal Roy Emerson for the third-most in history. Nadal trails only Roger Federer’s 17 and Pete Sampras’ 14. “Winning 17 Grand Slam titles, that’s miles away,” Nadal said. “I’m not even thinking about it.” This was Nadal’s first major tournament after a surprising secondround loss at Wimbledon last June. Since rejoining the tour in February, he is 43-2 with seven titles and two runner-up finishes. He’s won his past 22 matches. “For me, it’s incredible,” said Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle and coach. “When I think of all that Rafael has done, I don’t understand it.” No one, perhaps not even Ferrer himself, expected Nadal to lose Sunday. That’s because of Nadal’s skill on clay, in general, and at Roland Garros, in particular, but also because of how Ferrer had fared against his friend and countryman — and video-game competitor — in the past. Ferrer entered Sunday 4-19 against Nadal. On clay, Nadal had 16 consecutive victories over Ferrer, whose only head-to-head win on the surface came the first time they played, in July 2004, when Nadal was 18. Nadal had yet to make his French Open debut then, missing it that year because of a broken left foot. On May 23, 2005, Nadal played his first match at Roland Garros, beating Lars Burgsmuller 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-1 on Court 1, known as the “bullring” because of its oval shape. And so began the reign. Nadal won a record 31 consecutive matches at the French Open until the fourth round in 2009, when Robin Soderling beat him. In 2010, Nadal started a new streak, which currently stands at 28. There was occasional shakiness

Rafael Nadal hits the ball back at Italy’s Fabio Fognini during third-round action in the French Tennis Open 2013 in Paris on June 1. Nadal took home the eighth French Open victory of his career.
this year. Nadal lost the first set of each of his first two matches and was pushed to a tiebreaker to begin his third. By any measure, that match was far more enjoyable to take in than the final, akin to dining on a filet mignon accompanied by a well-aged bottle of Bordeaux one day, then grabbing a hot dog and can of soda from a street vendor 48 hours later. Under a leaden sky that eventually would release a steady shower from the second set on, Ferrer felt nerves at the outset, he acknowledged later. But after the players traded early breaks, Ferrer held for a 3-2 lead. That’s when Nadal took over, winning seven games in a row and 12 of 14. His court coverage was impeccable, as usual, showing no signs of any problems from that left knee, which was supported by a band of white tape. His lefty forehand whips were on-target, accounting for 19 of his 35 winners and repeatedly forcing errors from Ferrer. When Nadal did have lapses, he admonished himself, once slapping his forehead with his right palm after
pushing a lob wide. But what’s demoralizing for opponents is the way Nadal slams the door when they have openings, then rushes through when he gets the slightest chance. He was at his relentless best on key points, including those four break chances for Ferrer at 3-1 in the second set. Immediately after, Nadal broke to 5-1 on a forehand winner down the line. As Nadal prepared to serve in the next game, a man wearing a white mask and carrying a fiery flare jumped out of the stands nearby. The intruder quickly was shoved to the ground by one security guard, while another went to protect Nadal. “I felt a little bit scared at the first moment,” Nadal said, “because I didn’t see what’s going on.” It happened within a few minutes of other actions by protesters, including chanting from the upper deck that briefly delayed play. Police said seven people were held for questioning. Nadal got broken in that game, then broke back right away to take the second set.

Graduates face 8th highest unemployment
Job market may be recovering slowly, ‘gaining some steam’ HOYT CHIEF REPORTER | SAM sthoyt@bsu.edu Ball State students are encouraged not to lose hope despite Indiana having the eighth highest unemployment rate in the country. The state’s rate as of April 2013 was 8.5 percent, according to a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Lizz Frick, a senior advertising major, doesn’t have any jobs lined up after graduating in July, but she hopes her internship with Gannett Co., Inc., in Washington, D.C., pays off. “Gannett’s a really big company, and I’m hoping this
internship will lead to a job somewhere,” she said. “It has several branches across the country and I’m hoping that if I make enough good relations, the people in my department will be able to recommend me to another branch somewhere. If I get the feeling that it won’t, I’ll be job searching again.” Frick found the internship at one of Ball State’s career fairs. “Within a week I ended up interviewing and getting the job,” she said. “When Gannett offered to me, I knew that I definitely wanted to experience the big city and come to the capital.” Luckily for students like Frick, Cecil Bohanon, a professor of economics, said the job market is in a slow recovery, but “it does seem to be gaining steam.” “The good news is that there

were 175,000 private sector jobs and that’s a reasonable number, better than the past,” he said. “It’s a big, complex issue. We don’t know how much of the unemployment is
structural, the kind of thing that takes a long time to work out, or cyclical, which should be working itself out with robust economic growth. The point is that we haven’t had robust economic growth — we’ve had anemic economic growth — and that explains the high level of unemployment.” Joseph Goodwin, assistant director of the Career Center, offers some hope for Ball State. “One thing to keep in mind is that although unemployment is relatively high overall, it is less than half as high for college graduates,” he said. “That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. They need to start looking for work as soon as possible.” Internships and immersive learning projects are two things Goodwin said are important for student to get involved in.

UPD trains BSU staff on gun safety, how to hold, shoot |
SAM HOYT CHIEF REPORTER sthoyt@bsu.edu
When the University Police Department ordered this weekend, guns in the hands of Ball State staff responded. Around 10 faculty members were given training on Saturday and Sunday in firing guns and firearm safety at UPD and a police firing range. Brandon Campbell, manager of the Technology HelpDesk, hadn’t used handguns before the class, but he grew up around guns and has used other types of firearms. “Guns have never been something I’ve been afraid of, it’s just been a tool that’s been around,” he said. “Once you get to use that tool, you better understand it. Guns aren’t just this thing on TV where you see the bad guy get shot and he dies. There’s a lot of power which in turn means a lot of responsibility on our part.” Responsibility and safety were a focus of the course, which divided its time between learning in a classroom and hands-on learning at the firing range. Michael Baker, a corporal and crime prevention coordinator, was involved in the class taught last year and said safety is the main thing they teach.
“Understand your safety rules and when to fire a gun, where to practice, when to practice,” he said. “Know that the weapon is empty — it can’t be a guess. You might not intend for it to go off, but because of failure to act on safety rules it can fire.” The group learned how to fire three, seven and 15 yards from targets, with their dominant and non-dominant hand. The first hour at the range on Saturday was spent going over safety and doing “dry firing” with no ammunition. Dry firing allowed the group to practice pre-firing skills such as holstering, stance, gripping and aiming. Campbell said it was good experience and the instructors were very helpful in learning how to shoot. “There are a lot of fundamentals,” he said. “I wasn’t properly gripping things and I wasn’t locking my elbow like I should’ve been. Little technique things that I wasn’t familiar with that I’ve picked up during the course.” David Bell, a sergeant and training and special events coordinator, and Baker oversaw the course. “Everybody did an excellent job,” Baker said. “For a lot of them, this was their first time shooting, but they were able to find out where they made mistakes at and correct those mistakes and bring everything into focus.” Rui Chen, an associate pro-

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Risking prosecution by the U.S. government, a 29-year-old intelligence analyst who claims to have worked at the National Security Agency and the CIA was revealed as the source of The Guardian’s and The Washington Post’s disclosures about the U.S. government’s secret surveillance programs, the newspapers reported Sunday. The leaks have reopened the post-Sept. 11 debate about privacy concerns versus heightened measure to protect against terrorist attacks,
and led the NSA to ask the Justice Department to conduct a criminal investigation. The Guardian said it was publishing the identity of Edward Snowden, a former technical assistant for the CIA EDWARD and current SNOWDEN employee of 29-year-old defense conintelligence tractor Booz analyst Allen Hamilton, at his own request. The Washington Post also identified Snowden as its principal source for its reporting on intelligence operations that put the White House and the administration
during a career fair she attended and found effective ways to communicate. “Put yourself in their shoes and try to become the person that they want to recruit and hire,” she said. “Don’t just be the most qualified, but you want to be someone who would mesh with their company. Do research beforehand. You have to get your name out there to them so it’s more easily accessible.” Bohanon said one of the best things students can do is to not lose hope. “Sometimes it takes six, nine, 12, 15 months to get the position that’s a good fit,” he said. “Don’t be proud. Don’t be afraid to take a job at Walgreens to make ends meet. Continue to court potential employers and don’t be discouraged.”
Indiana’s attorney general’s office sees 80 objections so far
and Hoosiers are feeling the pinch at the pump,” he said. The seven refineries that have been either hit by technical problems or are conducting maintenance include the top three Midwestern refineries by output volume. Although many of the refinery issues have been resolved or being resolved, Bodin said it will likely take time before consumers see lower prices again. Attorney general’s office spokeswoman Erin Reese said the office investigates gas prices in cases where it sees “an unusually high spike” in complaints about gas prices rising. She said the state agency continues to track the situation. She said the office has determined that the current situation does not involve pricegouging, but instead resulted from a tightening of gas supplies in the Midwest. “When the high prices are all over you can see it’s a broader problem, as opposed to having one station illegally price gouging,” Reese said. “We’ve ruled that this is not one of those situations — this stems from seven of the 16 refineries experiencing problems.”
4th priciest gas raises complaints | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana’s attorney general’s office said the recent surge in Midwestern gasoline prices that’s given Indiana the nation’s fourth-priciest gas is drawing an influx of complaints from the public. The state agency said Friday that it’s received 80 complaints about high gas prices so far this month, up from just 15 last month. Indiana’s average price for a gallon of regular unleaded was $4.12, behind Hawaii, Michigan and Illinois, and about 50 cents higher than the national average, the office said Friday. In comparison, Indiana’s average price of a gallon of unleaded regular was $3.59 between Jan. 1 and June 1, it said. Tom Bodin, the office’s chief economist, said he’s determined that Indiana’s recent spike in gas prices is being fueled by production delays at seven of the Midwest’s 10 largest refineries. “These disruptions have trickled down to the retail level

fessor of information systems, appreciated the instructors correcting mistakes. “They teach you the theory, then you have hands-on training,” he said. “Before we shoot and after we shoot, they come up and give us tips. Especially after the shooting, they will tell you what happened to your results and how to make the adjustment. It was very helpful.” Chen had fired a gun once before the class, and he took the class for personal reasons. “It’s about personal safety, especially if you have families,” he said. “It’s better to have something ready than need it. Then you have a choice. You hope that you’ll never have to use it.” Baker, who has been an officer for around 30 years, had not shot a handgun until becoming an officer. He has only drawn his weapon in the field once or twice and has never had to fire. He said the class allows the
police to build a rapport with the community. “A lot of times, the general community feels like they can’t talk to the police,” he said. “This helps them realize that we’re human just like they are.” Baker hopes holding the class will impact more than just the 10 people in the group. “If we can educate the community and give them tools to understand what their weapon is about and the limitations of it, it’s just going to make it a safer community for us,” he said. “Our job is to put that information out there, to bring them and give them practical experience.” Anyone interested in the program can take it when Baker and UPD offer the course next year. “The next time you get an email from Cpl. Baker about handgun training, they need to be the first to sign up,” Baker said. “It could save their life, somebody else’s life or a child’s life.”

Intelligence analyst aims to ‘inform the public’ about privacy
“Anything they can do to help build their skills to help them stand out above other job seekers is going to be beneficial,” he said. “They’re going to have to get used to a routine that’s not just go to class and come home. Most cases, they’re going to be working from 8 to 5. They’re going to discover that C-level work is not appropriate — they need to be doing the very they can if they want to move ahead. If they aren’t good already with managing money, they’re going to have to learn to do that. They’re going to act professionally at all times.” The Career Center helps students build their skills with programs about resume writing and interviewing, and offering three career fairs each year. Frick networked with around 35 other businesses
on the defensive. “My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them,” Snowden told The Guardian. He told The Washington Post that he would “ask for asylum from any countries that believe in free speech and oppose the victimization of global privacy” in an interview from Hong Kong, where he is staying. “I’m not going to hide,” Snowden told the Post. “Allowing the U.S. government to intimidate its people with threats of retaliation for revealing wrongdoing is contrary to the public interest.” A spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence did not have immediate comment on the disclosure.

“I think it’s great that we can hold it to 2 percent. It would be great if we could hold it to zero,” he said during the meeting. “Hopefully as these funding formulas change, maybe we can get more balance for the state universities would be our goal for the future.” Ball State trustee Rick Hall said he appreciates the administrations to efforts to limit spending. “While we hate to have any increase in tuition go on the backs of our Ball State families, I feel very good about this 2 percent increase,” he said.“I’d like to express my appreciation to the administration for the ideas they’ve come up with that have saved money that has allowed us to keep spending growth below the rate of inflation.” Ball State also approved
an additional transportation fee which will affect roughly 11,000 students and another 500 who will pay a partial fee. The fee ranges from $20 to $50 based on credit hours and will be assessed to offcampus students taking main campus courses. The fee is designed to support the campus’ shuttle program. An increase in fees for journalism and telecommunications students is also included in the approved tuition increase. In 2013-14, students in those programs will now pay $125 dollars per semester. Howard said the increase is a result of the costs of implementing those programs. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education recommended no more than a 2 percent increase. Ball State was able to meet the commission’s recommendations due to an increase in state support.

Investigators look into family history for motive in killing
Suspect could face charges for being high on marijuana
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA MONICA, Calif. — A woman who was critically wounded in last week’s Santa Monica shooting rampage died Sunday, bringing the total number of victims killed by the gunman to five. Marcela Franco, 26, died of her injuries at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, according to Santa Monica College spokeswoman Tricia Ramos. MARCELA Franco had FRANCO, 26 been a pasDied of her senger in a injuries Ford Explorer at Ronald Reagan UCLA driven by her father, camMedical Center pus groundskeeper Carlos Navarro Franco, 68, who also was killed in Friday’s attack. Investigators trying to determine why the gunman planned the shooting spree were focusing on a deadly act of domestic violence that touched off the mayhem. The heavily armed man’s attack against his own family led to the violence in Santa Monica streets, lasting just a matter of minutes until he was shot to death by police in a chaotic
scene at the college library. Investigators were looking at family connections to find a motive because the killer’s father and brother were the first victims, an official briefed on the probe who requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly told The Associated Press. The killer, who died a day shy of his 24th birthday, was connected to a home that went up in flames after the first shootings, said police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks. She refused to elaborate or name the suspect because a surviving family member was out of the country and couldn’t immediately be notified. Standing next to the weapons and ammo found at multiple crime scenes, Seabrooks said at a Saturday news conference that the “cowardly murderer� planned the attack and was capable of firing 1,300 rounds. The killer had a run-in with police seven years ago, but Seabrooks wouldn’t offer more details because he was a juvenile at the time. The gunman was enrolled at Santa Monica College in 2010, Seabrooks said. After neighbors watched in shock as he shot at his father’s house and it went up in flames, he opened fire on a woman driving by, wounding her, and then carjacked another woman. He directed her to drive to the college, ordering her to stop along the way so he could shoot at a city bus and people on the street. Two people on

On campus, he opened fired on a Ford Explorer driven by Navarro Franco, who plowed through a brick wall into a faculty parking lot. The gunman then moved on foot across campus, firing away. Students were seen leaping out of the windows of a classroom building and running for their lives. Others locked themselves behind doors or bolted out of emergency exits. At some point, the suspect

dropped an Adidas duffel bag loaded with ammunition magazines, boxes of bullets and a .44 revolver. Police also found a small cache of ammunition in a room in the burned-out house. Trena Johnson, who works in the dean’s office, heard gunshots and looked out the window and saw a man shoot a woman in the head outside the library. Surveillance photos showed the gunman dressed in black strolling past a cart of books into the library with an assaultstyle rifle by his side. The shooter fired at least 70 rounds in the library. Miraculously, no one was injured until two Santa Monica police officers and a campus cop arrived and took out the shooter.

PHILADELPHIA — A heavy equipment operator who is accused of being high on marijuana when a building collapsed onto a thrift store, killing six people in the U.S., is in custody after surrendering to face charges in the deaths, police said. Sean Benschop, who has a lengthy police record, surrendered Saturday and faces six counts of involuntary manslaughter, 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of risking a catastrophe in Philadelphia, Pa. A warrant had been issued for his arrest and police had been searching for him. He is awaiting arraignment. Authorities believe 42-year-old Benschop had been using an excavator Wednesday when the remains of the four-story building under demolition gave way and toppled onto an attached Salvation Army thrift store, killing two employees and four customers and injuring 13 others. Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison said a toxicology report showed evidence that Benschop was high on marijuana. That finding, combined with witness statements and evidence from the scene, led to the decision Friday to raid his North Philadelphia home and later seek an arrest warrant, he said.

GEARING UP, SLIMMING DOWN Muncie Triathlon sees 20 percent increase in turnout
DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR | @DakotaCrawford_
A record amount of participants from 9 to 72 years old biked, ran and swam in the Muncie Triathlon on Saturday at the Prairie Creek Reservoir. Registration for the event, hosted by Multi-Sport America, was up 20 percent from last year, with 300 participants crossing the finish line. The reservoir has been hosting the Iron Man competition for 33 years, making it one of the oldest venues in the world. President of Multi-Sport America Steve Tomboni said the event has transitioned into a mini get-away for competitors. Triathletes were able to stay for the weekend at Prairie Creek. “This was fantastic, what we in the business now call event tourism. People go on vacation and take the weekend to do events,” he said. Much like the age of competitors, the field of events was wide in variety. There were several age groups and distances within the triathlon and a separate 5k as well. Jacqui Carroll took her first victory as a triathlete on Saturday.
The Indiana resident explained that her climb to the top hasn’t been easy. “I won my age division in the Olympic distance, and their slogan here is ‘life changing finishes’ and it’s true,” Carroll said. “My first race that I did, I finished in last place but it was so much fun, I immediately signed up for more.” After injuring her leg four years ago, she took up swimming in place of running. As she recovered, she began to consider doing triathlons. Endurance events turned out to be more than just an opportunity for competition; they helped her to lose 50 pounds and dramatically improve her health. Tomboni said participating in events like the Muncie Triathlon can give individuals a reason to stay healthy and keeps personal fitness a priority. “Focusing on events gets you prepared, improves your health and when you get to the finish line, you know what it’s all about,” he said. “The secret to staying fit is just to register for something.” He said his advice to register doesn’t come purely from the perspective of a business owner.

Tomboni, along with his wife and three of their four children, are triathletes. His children will participate in the “Muncie Tough Kids” event in July, where participants ages 4 through 14 will take to a course varying in length for different age groups. “It’s the coolest, slickest thing you’ve ever seen in your life,” Tomboni said. “They run 100 yards from the transition to the finish line, with a grin that’s bigger than them. And they’re smiling the whole way.”

Local business hosts performance FESTIVAL: Fair offers venue Monthly art show receives smaller crowd than usual

DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR @DakotaCrawford_
Live performers at The Cup Friday night played for a smaller crowd than usual at The Glue and Scissors Society’s monthly art show. The “First Friday” events include a group of live musicians that complement a selection of community-produced art. The crowd was still large enough to meet expectations of Glue and Scissors’ executives. “This is kind of a testing of the waters for us, to see what kind of work we have to put forth to get a good crowd out here in the summer,” said vice
president Elysia Smith. For singer Marta Vitolins, performing in front of an audience just large enough to comfortably fill the Cup’s outdoor patio was equally rewarding as singing for a large crowd. “It’s been wonderful,” Vitolins said. “It’s been great to get my music out there and be able to have people who normally wouldn’t hear it... hear it. And the crowd is so wonderful every time, and they’re very supportive.” Vitolins graduated from Ball State in May, but she found a place with Glue and Scissors during her final year as a student. She has been the society’s communication chief since last August. The guitarist calls herself a “musician at heart” and has performed at three events over that span of time.

Vitolins said this event was special to her because her parents were in the crowd. Vitolins’ mother regularly attends shows, and said she enjoys her daughter’s stage presence. “Marta is always an amusing
performer,” she said. “It’s always fun to watch her play because she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She just loves to have a good time with everybody else and share the joy of what she’s doing.”

Bertram is an active member in the arts scene, participating in several arts fairs in the area, the most recent being the “YART” sale in downtown Muncie in early May. “There are a lot of artisans out there, and it’s a really nice place to support small businesses and all the things that help keep a community strong,” Bertram said.“There’s been a lot of love and thought put into all of the stuff people selling here tonight. I think it’s very important for the community to have venues like this and for people to support them as opposed to going to buy all your stuff at Wal-Mart.” Bertram’s stand received several visitors throughout the night, including President Jo Ann Gora. Jesse Salinas, a junior business major, said he participated in the
event to gain experience. “I put a lot of work into this particular show because I was told it would have a large turnout, which it does,” Salinas said. “I’m getting great feedback.” Setting up a booth is free. “The great thing is as an artist, it’s free and it never hurts to get out here and do something like this because you get to market yourself,” Salinas said. Charles Chandler, a Muncie resident, said arts events like these are a good way for families to be exposed to classical music. “It’s important that the kids be exposed to different styles of music, instead of just what they hear on the radio or on the concert stage,” Chandler said. Chandler attends the event each year to be around friends and music, and he said as long as he’s alive, he’ll be back next year.
