T
he university is spending approximately $140,000 on emergency call boxes on campus, a technology that neither Indiana University nor Purdue University are using. The boxes, which will call the University Police Department when the button is pushed, are being installed throughout campus, around 340 units total, according to Vice President of Information Technology Loren Malm. Each box costs $409. Alan Hargrave said the Crisis Management Team considered the boxes for a few years before making the decision. They decided this was a cost appropriate way to provide communication in an emergency, which he said is a key part of crisis situations.

Ussery had averaged about 15 minutes per game under Legette-Jack, but under Miller her playtime was cut drastically and her enthusiasm for the sport began to fade.

SATURDAY Women’s basketball takes on Northern Illinois in a MAC West Division battle. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
Strong 1st half leads to victory Season-high in steals, 22 turnovers result in 2nd win over Miami ZACH CAINS CHIEF REPORTER | @ZPC1329 The Ball State women’s basketball team rebounded quickly from its loss to Ohio, the top MidAmerican Conference team, winning in dominant fashion against Miami 72-55, the team’s second blowout victory over the Redhawks this season. Ball State beat Miami 72-41 on Jan. 7. The Cardinals came out of the first half and completely dominated the Redhawks in all aspects of the game. Ball State capped off the first half with a 33-5 run in the last seven minutes, going into the locker room with a commanding 44-17 lead. “We came out on fire there and really put them away early like we hoped,” head coach Brady Sallee said. The second half was more competitive than the first half, but Ball State would not allow Miami to do much damage to its lead. Miami outscored Ball State by 10 in the second half, but most of its second half production came in the last five minutes of the game. The win was Ball State’s second straight on the road. Offensively, every Cardinal recorded at least two points during the game. The team shot 44.4 percent from field goal range and 65.4 percent from the freethrow line. Sophomore Jill Morrison led the offensive surge, finishing with 18 points, the majority of which came from beyond the arc. She finished with four of eight from

Moriah Monaco was the third Ball State player in double-figures in her second start of the season, scoring 11 points. “We had the girls playing against each other hard during the week and made sure they were ready for any defense that would come their way,” Sallee said. Ball State’s defense returned to form after struggling against Ohio on Jan. 24. The Cardinals created 22 turnovers in the game, including 13 steals, their highest total of the season. Miami shot 35.3 percent from field goal range and 17.6 percent from threepoint range. “The full court press really worked well against them, and the girls went out hungry and rebounded from Ohio quickly,” Sallee said.

Women’s basketball head coach Brady Sallee reached out to junior guard Candyce Ussery after she decided to transfer from Indiana University. Because of the transfer and a leg injury, this season was her first time playing collegiate basketball in two years.
USSERY:
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I really tried hard, but something just didn’t feel right,” Ussery said. “It got to the point where I realized if I wanted to play I had to go somewhere else.” Ussery made her decision to begin finding a new school. It was one of the toughest decisions of her life, but she saw it as her best option. “I’d never quit a team before, so it took me awhile,” she said. “Plus I had all the friends I’d just made I didn’t want to leave, so that was another problem.” Once her transfer paperwork was finished, multiple schools sought out Ussery’s talents, including several Mid-American Conference programs. Ball State women’s basketball head coach Brady Sallee quickly took interest in Ussery and reached out to her as soon as he was allowed. “I called and then started meeting with her and her dad to see where her interests were,” Sallee said. “It felt like it would be a good fit and we needed her skills.” When Ussery met Sallee in person, she immediately knew it would be a good fit. “It just felt soothing when I first talked to [Sallee],” Ussery said. “I thought, ‘That’s the kind of coach I need. I want to be in that kind of program.’” Not long after their meeting, Ussery transferred to Ball State. As a transfer, Ussery was forced to wait a season before becoming eligible for play, but she could still be around her teammates.
They welcomed her right away. “We were kind of low on numbers at that point,” Sallee said. “The girls were really excited to have a new body on the court.” Ussery spent the year learning as much about the program, the players and Sallee’s coaching style as she could. She was also scheduled for surgery on her leg during the transfer period, and the original timeframe would have kept her on schedule. The surgery was postponed, however, and pushed her recovery back into the current season. Despite the setback, Ussery remained focused on returning to the court. “She seemed somewhat discouraged by the process, but even on the toughest days, she kept going and did it in a respectful way,” Sallee said. Ussery returned to the court for the season opener against Purdue, a former rival. Though finally on the court, she was skeptical of her ability post-surgery. “I was afraid to drive to the paint after the surgery, so I started trying more long-range shots,” she said. “Though I’ve been able to drive again, I feel comfortable from long-range.” Eighteen games later, Ussery became a key part of the Cardinals’ rotation, starting the last seven games. She has scored 98 points on the season, surpassing her previous season-best of 92 while at IU. “Like the rest of the team, I’m just taking it one game at a time,” she said, “trying to win and become better.”

STORY // madison anarumo PHOTOS // hannah jackson
SPOON hile sitting up against a white, sheepskin throw, Aaron Paul Comino wipes his face of the metal and sand suet. He is creating a ring from a 1928 Goldenrod Flower spoon. As Comino shapes the piece of jewelry, folk singer Noah Gundersen echoes in the background, singing in time with the rhythmic process of molding metal art. “Each piece is different and takes a different amount of time,” Comino said. “I approach each spoon with care and patience. Some take heat and other types of methods to create. I don’t want my spoon rings to be like all the others.” Ball State alumnus Comino runs his own business called Aaron Paul Designs. He started it during his senior year of college when Comino’s roommate, David DelaGardelle, suggested that he should start his own business of handcrafting jewelry made from vintage cutlery. DelaGardelle’s grandmother gave him a box of spoons one day, but he was too busy to create anything with them. Instead, he handed them to Comino, which is how Aaron Paul Designs began. The profession allows him to live a life of travel by giving him the op-
portunity to sell his jewelry in art shows across the country. The Northwest Arkansas Vintage Market Days, run by Tammy Edwards and her daughter Megan Enlow, is one of the venues at which Comino has sold his work. Vintage Market Days sells many vintage finds, such as clothing, housewares, old signs, furniture and jewelry. “[Comino] has the perfect personality for our show,” Edwards said. “He has pieces of jewelry already made, and then he is making the jewelry on site – a crowd pleaser. He takes old silverware and makes custom-made rings and necklaces, to just name a few. He is very charming, sweet and makes each piece from the heart.” Comino’s passion for exploration stemmed from growing up in a family of 10 and living in the country. While his family focused on music as an art form, Comino learned to appreciate all forms of creativity. “Mom put us in piano,” Comino said. “This was helpful in teaching me discipline and building a love and respect for the different mediums of art.” Comino finds most of the silverware for his jewelry in various places, but most often in antique shops and online.
They say you can find beauty everywhere, but did you ever think you could find it in your eating utensils?
“[I find them] everywhere and anywhere,” Comino said. “Finding the really cool pieces take a bit of money; this year alone I shelled out more than a few thousand dollars.” As for the assembly process of Comino’s jewelry, the first step is finding the right place to cut. Comino stresses the importance of checking the back of the spoon for markings and lettering prior to making the cut. Keeping the original engraving allows customers to see where the tableware came from and verifies that the spoon is sterling silver. After Comino makes the cut, he sands the area for a smoother feel and heats the metal with a blowtorch on a concrete block. When the spoon heats up to a reddish color, Comino places the metal into a water bowl with pillars – a technique known as “annealing.” After submerging the metal into water, the temperature drops, and Comino takes the spoon out by hand. As the final step, he measures and molds the metal ring around a ring mandrel, a tapered object that includes different ring sizes, until it’s a perfect fit for his clients. “I want people to be able to look at my jewelry and feel connected to and loved by it. I want to show
Each spoon piece that Comino makes is unique and comes from a different time period.
people how much they are worth,” Comino said. “No matter what that spoon is at the end of its life, it’s still going to be loved by the maker of the spoon.” Looking into the future of Aaron Paul Designs, Comino hopes his business will continue to grow in the art world. One of his biggest passions is helping people see their own value, so Comino hopes to create some sort of product that aids youth mentoring pro-

He intends to put this product up for sale and donate a percentage of that purchase to different charities. “This has opened up a whole new outlook on life,” Comino said. “I truly believe that if a person puts their mind to it, they can do anything. Any business is going to take a lot of sacrifice. You can’t expect to have anything successful if you’re not willing to put the time in.”

“We alert them of what is happening on campus,” Director of Emergency Preparedness at Purdue Ron Right said. “Our goal is to provide as quick as possible warning to as many people as we can get to.” Minger said IU is also considering installing Alertus Alert Beacons. The beacons cannot call police; they only provide information from the university. The boxes at Ball State, on the other hand, allow for twoway communication. University Police Chief James Duckham said the boxes will provide easier access to UPD. “It’s easier access to calling us,” Duckham said. “It’s like any tool [with which] you can contact the police. It’s another opportunity for us to respond appropriately and promptly.”
He said the kitchen received more funding so more supplies can be purchased. The Cardinal Kitchen opened Jan. 7. Nearly 80 students used the pantry the first three Wednesdays the kitchen was open, according to the platform report presented at the meeting. Rachel Johnson, a volunteer coordinator for the kitchen, said she is happy with the amount of students utilizing the kitchen, considering it is a new organization on campus. “This has gone better than I could have ever imagined,” Johnson said. “I am so excited to see the success of this for both SGA as well as our organization.” Cardinal Kitchen has also received a donation of 1,000 pounds of food from Selma United Methodist Church, according the report. Staples said part of the funds from the 24-hour library ser-

vices initiative will go toward the social media night at the men’s basketball game Feb. 4. Students had the opportunity to sign up and get a t-shirt personalized with their own Twitter handle. “So far we have not gone over the budget; we have used all of the expenses toward what they were budgeted out for besides the 24-hour library service,” Staples said. One platform point that has been scratched is the Excellence in Leadership Mentorship program, which was intended to help students find their leadership role and get students involved. “We didn’t receive the student interest that we needed,” Rahissa Engle, secretary, said. Before the program was planned, the SGA was originally going to host a conference; however, there is a high volume of conferences that would have conflicted. “Whenever we would reach out to these students, they never responded or did not seem that interested,” Engle said.

She said they are going to revamp it again to develop other programs or activities to help students get involved on campus. Earlier this month, SGA also conducted the t-shirt trade-in at the men’s and women’s basketball games at Worthen Arena. Five hundred shirts were donated to the Muncie Mission, according to the platform report. According to the budget, there is $600 for the summer bridge sponsorship. The application for incoming freshmen to receive sponsorship for summer bridge programs is set to go live within the next week, said Engle. The application is expected to be online. Last week, the executive board met with President Paul Ferguson. The board plans to have him come to an SGA meeting so students can talk with him and ask questions. “He really wants to be connected with the students,” Engle said. “He wants to know what is going on.”

With mats strewn across the floor and looks of anticipation on her students’ faces, Becca Chalfant, a senior exercise science major, begins the strenuous, 30-minute workout known as Insanity. “The first move of warm-up is always jogging,” Chalfant said. Every Tuesday at 6:45 p.m., Chalfant can be found in the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center Room 212A. Chalfant teaches the only Insanity workout offered in the BSU Fit program. She brought the class to Ball State three semesters ago. Chalfant went through a one-day certification process in order to teach the class. The certification included paying a fee, taking a written test and taking a practical test. Insanity’s website gives a warning that most people will not make it all the way through their first workout with Insanity. The program is “high-intensity,” said Chalfant. Warm-up begins with participants executing six moves for 30 seconds each. The cycle is repeated three times. “You don’t get a break,” Chalfant said. “You’re at one level the first round, you kick it up for the second one and even harder for the third one.” The three blocks after the warmup entail moves carried out for 30 seconds each, resulting in a three- to four-minute workout. Between each set, participants rest
for 30 seconds. Each block has a special power move at the end, which is carried out for a minute straight. In order to keep track of time, Insanity also provides special music with a buzzer indicating when it’s time to switch moves or blocks. After the extreme power moves, some exhausted participants have to take a break. A quick glance around the small room reveals people lying on the ground or standing with their hands on their hips. One even escapes to get a drink. Chalfant is no stranger to a good sweat. She started taking Zumba fitness classes in high school and continued with fitness classes at Ball State. After her freshman year, Chalfant applied to become a BSU fitness instructor. Chalfant has also taught classes in Zumba, TurboKick, AquaFit, hardcore and women on weights. She enjoys the difficulty of Insanity because it conditions her body. “It makes you push yourself,” Chalfant said. “It makes you find something deep inside yourself that keeps you going.” She recommends cardio workouts as a pre-requisite for her class. Still, Chalfant said each Insanity move comes with a modification for struggling students. Chalfant said her class usually brings out around 20 people. Peter Beerbower, a freshman biology and genetics major, said he encourages others to try Insanity. “It’s the best workout on campus,” Beerbower said.
