CHRIS STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER castephens@bsu.edu

At age 16, most guys are worried about getting their driver’s license or making the football team, but Evan Maede was worrying about something far more important: survival.

At BSU Dance Marathon on Saturday, Maede told his story of how he went to his doctor for what he thought was the flu, but after some blood work, was rushed to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, where he was diagnosed with leukemia, a disease that was in 97 percent of his bloodstream.

“I just had tears pouring down my face,” said Maede, a Butler University freshman.

“And I looked to my left [at my parents] and they had tears pouring down their faces too, and that was when I knew they couldn’t tell me that everything would be all right.”

dren, where he was treated.

Maede, who is now in remission, was the last person to tell his story before the event ended at 2 a.m. Sunday. Shortly after he spoke, it was announced that BSU Dance Marathon raised $196,228.20 for Riley Hospital. Participation nearly doubled this year, with 1,316 students involved, compared to 719 last year.

“What you did here today will save lives,” Maede said. “If it wasn’t for people like you I would not be standing here today.”

BALL STATE FALLS AFTER CONTROVERSIAL POINT Yellow card in fourth set helps No. 6 Ohio State beat rivals on the road 3-1 EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER | @Slice_of_Evan

MATCH FLOW

In a weekend marred with upsets in men’s volleyball, including five top 15 teams losing, Ball State had hope going into its first match against a nationally-ranked opponent in No. 6 Ohio State.

To win a match against a top 15 team, a team needs to play its best and catch a few breaks.

Only one of those happened for Ball State in its 3-1 (26-28, 25-22, 19-25, 23-25) loss to Ohio State.

Leading the fourth set 17-12, the match seemed destined to go a final fifth set, but

Ohio State chipped away and suddenly it was 23-22.

In the next series, a questionable call that gave Ohio State its tying point, triggered an outburst from the Ball State coaching staff.

The explosion from the bench triggered referee Tom Joseph to reprimand Ball State with a yellow card, and thus presenting Ohio State a point and putting the No. 6 team at match point.

Following the discussion of a particular Student Government Association platform point involving alcohol, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Jennifer Jones-Hall has asked her name not be used publicly by any executive board slates in this year’s election.

“I did talk to her, I don’t know why she came out and said she was against it,” Wilkey said. “But we had a 15-minute conversation where she gave us the nod.”

Jones-Hall said if she had been present at any event where her name and permitting alcohol sales at football games were in the same sentence, she would have immediately confronted Fusion and corrected the statement.

A representative from Ball State’s athletic department could not be reached for comment about the platform point by the Daily News on Friday afternoon.

She said the next day she received an email from Fusion campaign manager Kayleigh Mohler to apologize for the misunderstanding. Wilkey said in a statement sent to the Daily News that Jones-Hall raised some concern with the proposal of selling alcohol to boost attendance at athletic events.

The box scores from Ball State’s “I mean, that thing was a bomb. weekend series against Middle I didn’t think it was ever going to Tennessee may have made it come down.”

T.J. Weir delivers his pitch against Miami on April 7, 2012. Weir hit a two-run home run for Ball State who had a 3-0 lead at the time during its game this weekend against Middle Tennessee for a final score of 5-1.

Playing in his first college series, Maloney liked what he saw out of his catcher Sam Tidaback.

Stopping many balls in the dirt and potential wild pitches, Tidaback played beyond his years.

“He was pretty tremendous defensively, stopping a number of bad pitches,” Maloney said.

“He didn’t look like a freshman catcher, that’s for sure.”

A scary moment occurred in the fifth inning. Senior Wes Winkle tracked down a deep fly ball to mid-right field and caught the ball, then slammed into the wall and crumpled to the ground.

Winkle later walked off slowly under his own power, and did

not return to the game.

Despite the injury, Maloney still liked what he saw from his new team.

“Are there things we can do better, of course there are. There always is,” Maloney said. “But to me, there were far more positives than negatives out there.”

Maloney said he was encouraged by the mental strength of his team to bounce back after two tough losses, and that despite his team’s seventh inning blunder in Game 2, he loved how his pitchers preformed to open the season.

He was less enthusiastic about the offense. Maloney noted that

his players got picked off three times, and that although he liked their patience at the plate, he thinks they can be more aggressive swinging.

Even after losing two out of three, Maloney was OK with where his team is sitting, as it comes home for the week before heading out to Nashville, Tenn., to play in the Lipscomb Tournament.

“Anybody who watched this series and watched Ball State baseball this weekend would tell you that we’re doing the right things,” Maloney said. “Keep watching, that’s a pretty solid group we’ve got out there.”

end with a 15-5 victory over IUPUI, a 2-0 win over the Tennessee-Martin and a 10-0 win over Tennessee Tech.

The team fell short in the last game of the weekend, losing 8-6 to Eastern Kentucky.

Schifferdecker opened the season in the circle against IUPUI finishing with three strikeouts.

Redshirt junior Audra Sanders came to Schifferdecker’s relief in the fourth inning closing out the game with six strikeouts.

Steinbach finished the weekend sweep on Saturday against Tennessee-Martin after striking out five batters and giving up three hits. She closed out the sixth inning with a double play in the circle after facing just nine batters in her last three innings.

She faced Tennessee Tech on

Sunday and earned her second shutout of the season giving up just one hit over five innings.

“I have been mentally preparing myself by realizing that in high school,” Steinbach said. “It is more about striking the batter out and now it is about getting the pitch where the spot is.”

Shifferdecker closed the weekend against Eastern Kentucky giving up four runs and five hits to the Colonels before again being relived by Sanders.

After coming into the game at the top of the fourth inning, Sanders couldn’t hold Eastern Kentucky as they earned four runs and six hits.

Ball State did not hesitate to put numbers on the scoreboard in its first game of the season as junior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert

recorded an RBI after just three batters against IUPUI. Gilbert hit her 34th, 35th and 36th career home runs in the games against IUPUI and Eastern Kentucky. She is now just three shy of breaking the school home run record of 38 set by Amanda Montalto, who graduated last year.

It took Ball State four innings to get the bats going against Tennessee-Martin, but came back explosive as junior third baseman Audrey Bickel hit a solo home run to right field. She hit her second home run of the season against Eastern Kentucky.

The Cardinals are back in action in Conway, Ark., next weekend with five games in three days.

Junior Jennifer Gilbert snags a fly ball during the April 12, 2012 double header game against Purdue. Gilbert scored three home runs during the KSU Classic this weekend.

Freshmen pitchers Nicole Steinbach and Kelsey Schifferdecker made their collegiate debuts this weekend leading Ball State to a 3-1 weekend in the Kennesaw State Classic beginning Saturday morning.

“Our freshmen pitchers battled and did a good job,” coach Craig Nicholson said. “I don’t think youth is a big factor in what we do.”

VOLLEYBALL: Herceg leads Cardinals again with 18 kills

“Our assistants were a little too passionate, and the up-official took offense to it,” coach Joel Walton said. “So much offense that he thought it was worth giving [Ohio State] match point.”

Thereafter, a short rally ended with an attacking error by senior outside attack Greg Herceg, giving Ohio State the win.

After the match, Walton passed on his usual post-game interview with WCRD, and didn’t say much about the call.

Other than the third set, Ball State led late in each set and seemed much more confident and precise than in its previous two matches, both of which it had dropped.

Walton said the match was closer than the final scores depict.

“If a couple points go differently in sets one and four, we’re walking out of here with a 3-1 win,” he said.

Ball State went into the match wanting to serve Ohio State tough and keep the Buckeyes out of system as much as possible, and the position its back row in places to dig sophomore Andrew Lutz’s trademark cross-court spikes.

Another key in the performance was the emergence of a cohesive team performance.

Herceg led the way with a match-high 18 kills, but others stepped-up to help the big lefty. Sophomore outsiders Shane Witmer and Matt

Sutherland again complemented Herceg from the other side, logging 10 and nine kills, respectively. Junior middle attacker Kevin Owens chipped in nine kills of his own.

Replacing normal setter senior Dan Wichmann, junior Graham McIlvaine registered his second

double-double of the season with 45 assists and a career-high 13 digs.

Even in a loss Walton was able to find some silver linings.

“I’m not ever going to say I’m pleased with a loss, but I thought we did some really good things,” Walton said.

2 Ind. medics die from crash injuries Indianapolis mayor calls workers’ deaths ‘uncharted territory’ | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — A second medic died early Sunday from injuries sustained when a car collided with an ambulance that was not on an emergency run and had the right of way in downtown Indianapolis, au-

Paramedic Cody Medley, 22, of Indianapolis, died about 3 a.m. Sunday at Wishard Hospital, said Dr. Charles Miramonti, Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services chief. The driver of the ambulance, 24-year-old Tim McCormick from the Indianapolis suburb of Greenwood, died Saturday.

“These first responders were devoted to helping others and risked their own lives to do so every day on the job,” Mayor

Greg Ballard said. “We stand by our IEMS family to give them strength in this time of grief.”

The accident happened near the Statehouse shortly after 3:30 a.m. Saturday, when traffic lights downtown were flashing. The ambulance had the right of way, police said, because it had a flashing yellow traffic signal. The traffic signal for the car was flashing red.

Both medics were wearing seatbelts, police said.

The car’s 21-year-old driver

was released following a routine blood-alcohol test, police said.

A police officer who was the first to arrive at the scene said the woman was crying and said: “Oh my God. I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe I was in this accident.”

Medley, who was originally from Scranton, Pa., had been with the Indianapolis EMS since June 2010 and had previously been a member of the Sunman Fire Department in Sunman, Ind.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — A Fort Wayne man has been charged with animal cruelty after police say he repeatedly kicked a stray cat.

Allen County prosecutors filed an animal cruelty charge Friday against 54-year-old Larry Knox.

Knox couldn’t be reached for comment Saturday because his phone number was unlisted.

Court documents say Knox called police Dec. 4 to complain the cat had gotten into his home.

A police officer and an animal control officer found the cat hiding behind a bed and asked Knox why it was stunned. Knox allegedly laughed and said he kicked the animal in the face, dislodging one of its teeth, and continued to kick it after it fled into a bedroom.

Knox allegedly told the officers he didn’t like cats.

The cat was taken to a shelter for treatment.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Students at Butler University in Indianapolis are battling an outbreak of pink eye.

WISH-TV reports as many as 11 students a day have been visiting the University’s Health Services with symptoms related to conjunctivitis.

The virus is highly contagious and spreads quickly among people living in close proximity to one another. It’s caused by the same virus that triggers the common cold.

Health services Dr. Maria Fletcher said students often wake up to find their eyelashes stuck together or their eyes extremely red.

The symptoms are treated with eye drops and generally clear up in three to five days.

Doctors are urging students to wash their hands often to avoid contracting the virus.

Ballard called the deaths uncharted territory for the city.

“These folks, people like Cody, take care of all of us in our most difficult situations. We never really expect anything like this to occur to them,” he said. “They’re just on duty and a tragic accident, an unexplainable accident, takes their lives.”

Ballard asked that flags at all City-County facilities be lower to half-staff to honor the paramedics.

MAN KICKS CAT, FACES CHARGES AS FELINE FELON

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Fort Wayne Police Chief Rusty York said his department is getting automatic license plate readers that will help police find stolen vehicles and could help in serious crimes like homicides.

The Journal Gazette reports the department is using a $56,000 government grant to equip two cars with four cameras, allowing license plates to be read from all sides of the vehicle. These readers store information and then crosscheck it against a database of stolen vehicles.

But York said if homicide witnesses remember the license plate number, police could theoretically comb through data collected by the readers to see if that car was spotted at any other place on another day.

The American Civil Liberties Union questioned whether police will use the readers to track law-abiding citizens.

Miramonti said Medley was a skilled paramedic.

“His friends and colleagues described him as a fun and outgoing man who enjoyed his job greatly,” Miramonti said at a news conference Sunday.

McCormick, 24, was originally from New York and attended St. Lawrence University and IUPUI. Public Safety Director Troy Riggs said Saturday that the deaths were the first known line-of-duty death of an emergency services worker in India-

Campus auction creates more funds for BSU Sale helps increase cash flow to bring school new supplies

|

EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER emfittes@bsu.edu

Ball State did some spring cleaning Saturday, selling anything from couches to school supplies at an auction.

The university sold supplies in storage that it no longer needed at a warehouse on Blaine Street.

Roger Hassenzahl, director of Purchasing Services, said it has been about a year since the university held an auction, and the “excess material” in the storage unit is no longer useful

to Ball State.

“When it sits stagnant it is doing us no good ... It is better to get the cash flow back into the circulation of the university, for other new products that the university needs and also at the same time ... it gives the pubic an opportunity to get some good items at a good price,” Hassenzahl said.

Tom Holden came all the way from Chicago to attend his first Ball State auction with his sister Irene Helton.

Helton called Holden after she read about the auction in the newspaper in Greenfield, Ind. Holden said they were looking for folding chairs and place settings for his sister’s annual barn party.

Terry Heifetz, a telecommunications instructor, came to

the auction with a mission: to buy five projectors for five professors who have been visiting Ball State from Afghanistan since January.

The four journalism professors and one English professor leave next month, and Heifetz wanted to ship their goodbye present to Kabul.

“They don’t have a lot in their classrooms there as far as technology goes,” Heifetz said. “The projectors are here so it’s just going to be a matter of if I can win them, which I’m not sure I will because there are a lot of people here.”

Heifetz didn’t end up having the winning bid.

Other than the projectors, items sold included chairs, sinks and other furniture.

Ill. woman killed same day SGA: Jones-Hall says platform point to sell alcohol at games could be ‘risky’ sister sat behind Obama | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Mother of young boy shot in Chicago; 2 questioned in death | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — An 18-year-old Chicago woman was killed the same day her sister had sat on the stage behind President Barack Obama, listening to him push for gun control legislation.

Janay Mcfarlane was shot once in the head around 11:30 p.m. Friday in North Chicago, Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd told the Chicago SunTimes . Mcfarlane, a mother of a 3-month-old boy, was in the Chicago suburb visiting friends and family.

North Chicago police said two people are being questioned in connection with Mcfarlane’s

death, but no charges have been filed. “I really feel like somebody cut a part of my heart out,�

Angela Blakely, Mcfarlane’s mother, said.

Blakely said the bullet that killed Mcfarlane was meant for a friend.

Hours earlier, Mcfarlane’s 14-year-old sister was feet from Obama at Hyde Park Career Academy, where he spoke about gun violence and paid tribute to Hadiya Pendleton, the 15-year-old honors student fatally shot last month in a South Side park. Police have said it was a case of mistaken identity, and two people have been charged.

Pendleton’s death was one of more than 40 homicides in Chicago in January, a total that made it the deadliest January in the city in more than a decade.

Pendleton, a drum majorette, had recently performed during Obama’s inauguration and the slaying happened about a mile from his Chicago home.

Blakely told the newspaper that Janay Mcfarlane had been affected by Pendleton’s death. “She always said after Hadiya Pendleton got killed, ‘Momma that’s so sad,’� Blakely said. “She was always touched by any kid that got killed. She was always touched by mothers who couldn’t be there for their babies because they were gone.�

Mcfarlane was supposed to graduate from an alternative school this spring, Blakely said, and wanted to go into the culinary arts. “I’m just really, truly just trying to process it — knowing that I’m not taking my baby home anymore,� Blakely said.

Don’t forget your friend’s birthday!

“After explaining the details to her, her response, in my eyes, indicated to me that she thought it would take a lot of work, but was not impossible to achieve this platform point,� Wilkey said in the statement.

Wilkey said he did not intend to imply that Jones-Hall was “excited and supported [the] platform point.� “I only meant to clarify that I had indeed talked to school officials about our platform points, because that was the question asked of me,� he said.

Jones-Hall said the 15-minute conversation Wilkey referred to was an informal meeting on a bench outside of Teachers College following the Elections Open Forum on Jan. 29.

DANCE: Fundraising to help benefit Indianapolis’ childrens hospital | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The money raised will go toward palliative care and Magic Castle Cart, said Alex Donaldson, media director for BSU Dance Marathon. Palliative care focuses on helping children and families with life-threatening illnesses, and Magic Castle Cart delivers smiles and toys, or “smile therapy.”

Although there were several activities and competitions throughout the day, the event was all about one thing.

“For the kids, all day,” Luke Cathcart, a sophomore pre-business major, said.

“Little kids are the future. If that was me or my child, I would want someone to stand for me.”

Sophomore nursing major Caitlynn Edon had a more personal reason to attend Dance Marathon.

Edon’s 1-year-old niece has cystic fibrosis and has been to Riley Hospital for Children.

“Children mean so much because they haven’t even had a chance yet,” Edon said.

“They don’t even know what it is like to live without a disease.”

Hayley Terrell, a senior Spanish major, said she attended Dance Marathon because her sorority, Epsilon Sigma Alpha,

Sophomore public relations major Kylie Marcus, left, dances with a girl from her group. Students raised more than $196,000 for Riley Hospital for Children.

had previously traveled to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and interacted with the children there.

“People from all over coming together to save lives is just wonderful,” Terrell said.

Junior architecture major Matt Jennings has participated in Dance Marathon every year since he was a freshman and has been impressed by its growth and support.

“It essentially gets their stories out there,” Jennings said. “It’s just a nice touch to see what you are striving for.”

Jennings said his fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, chose to sponsor a child like many other organizations. They were able to spend the night making it special for their child.

Freshman telecommunications major Jessika Zachary said her favorite part was when she crowd surfed during the rave near the end of the night because everyone joined together through dance and remembered why they were there.

“It just shows that anyone can do anything if they want to, like just standing up for 12 hours or like what [the Riley Children] did, fight a life threatening disease,” Zachary said. “If they are strong enough to survive what they did, it’s really no problem to do this for them.”

FORMER OFFICER WAS HIDING NEAR COMMAND POST Christopher Dorner death caused by self-inflicted shot | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.

— It didn’t take ingenuity for Christopher Dorner to elude authorities for six days. He simply opened an unlocked door.

As law enforcement swarmed a mountain neighborhood searching for the fugitive ex-cop, Dorner hid in a condominium 100 feet across the street from a command post and a short distance where he left his burned-out truck.

On Friday, San Bernardino County investigators revealed Dorner died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and defended tactics used during their search before a fiery gun battle ended an exhaustive manhunt.

Dorner, 33, is believed to have entered the condo through an unlocked door sometime on Feb. 7, soon after he arrived in the resort area of Big Bear Lake after killing three people.

He locked the door and hunkered down until the condo’s owners came to clean it, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said.

Deputies knocked on the door that first night but moved on when they found it locked and with no sign of a break-in, McMahon said.

“Our deputy knocked on that door and did not get an answer, and in hindsight it’s probably a good thing that he did not answer based on his actions before and after that event,” the sheriff said of Dorner.

When the owners went inside the condo, Dorner tied them up and fled in their car, leading to a chase and a shootout that killed a sheriff’s deputy.

While some residents have criticized authorities for missing Dorner so close by, the sheriff emphatically supported his department, raising his voice and saying deputies “performed flawlessly.”

“Understand we found the door locked at that condominium,” he said. “My instructions were that we were not going to kick the doors open to unoccupied residences or ones where nobody answered.”

Police initially weren’t sure if Dorner was killed by one of their bullets or by a fire sparked when they launched incendiary tear gas inside. Now they believe he died by his own hand as the cabin was going up in flames.

“When about a quarter of the cabin was on fire, we heard a distinct single gunshot come from inside the house which was a much different-sounding shot than what he’d been shooting at us,” sheriff’s Capt. Kevin Lacy said.

Dorner was equipped with an arsenal of weapons, including assault rifles with flash suppressors that masked the location the gunfire was coming from when he shot at the first two deputies to arrive at the cabin, killing Det. Jeremiah MacKay. “Our officers had not even pulled their guns out at that point and were not prepared to engage anybody and they were ambushed,” McMahon said.

Ind. prepares to debate federal government regarding health care Gov. Mike Pence opposes expansion, calls program ‘broken’ | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — By turns, Indiana leaders have either chosen, begrudgingly, to work with Washington or fight it outright, and this year is no exception.

Republican Gov. Mike Pence’s fiery letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius last week is the latest salvo from a state that has spent recent years trying to block federal funding for Planned Parenthood, cracking down on illegal immigra-

tion and opposing President Barack Obama’s federal health care law.

The challenges have landed the state in court on more than one occasion and pose a dilemma for Republican leaders as they determine when to fight and when to play along.

House Minority Leader Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, said the issue isn’t simply about Republican vs. Democrat.

“Look, nobody likes Washington,” said Pelath, D-Michigan City. “We all complain about Washington, but the fact of the matter is, we have to solve problems. Sometimes the problems are solved by arguing and agreeing to disagree.

Sometimes the problems are solved by working together.”

Pence doesn’t appear inclined to work together on Obama’s health care law. He has refused to have the state set up a health care exchange under the law, and his letter to Sebelius last week left no doubt about his feelings toward expanding Medicaid, the federal health program for the poor.

Pence charged that Medicaid is a program fraught with the Big Three of outrage: “waste, fraud and abuse.”

“Medicaid is broken,” Pence wrote. “It has a well-documented history of substantial waste, fraud and abuse. It has failed to keep pace with private market innovations that have created efficiencies, controlled costs, and improved quality.

It has done little to improve

health outcomes and does not adequately reimburse providers. Its burdensome rules and unwieldy regulations do not allow states to effectively manage their programs.”

Then he asked her to approve a Medicaid expansion using Indiana’s health savings account program, the Healthy Indiana Plan.

He can only hope his request for a waiver allowing Indiana to use the plan to cover roughly 400,000 residents who would qualify under the federal expansion of coverage fares better than other recent battles.

Republicans in the General Assembly and former Gov. Mitch Daniels almost made Indiana the first state to defund Planned Parenthood.
