ne week after the resignation of former Student Government Association president Malachi Randolph, Chloe Anagnos was formally inducted as the new president. “I feel really good,” Anagnos said. “Today is a good day.” SGA adviser Jennifer Jones-Hall said she is excited for Anagnos to begin working as president. “I feel fabulous, fantastic,” Jones-Hall said. “Chloe is going to do a phenomenal job.” Randolph resigned following derogatory tweets toward Asian people. Anagnos said she has forgiven him. “I’m more upset that this all happened,” she said. “Obviously I was always taught to be a forgiving person. I said, ‘I understand, we’re going to work to make it better and I’ll see you when you get back.’... We’re pretty close.” See INDUCTION, page 4

SGA’S SENATE APPROVES BUDGET FOR YEAR University to allocate $91,000 to association for 7 expense categories RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER | rmpodnar@bsu.edu Student Government Association passed its budget last week, allocating how it will spend its funding of roughly $91,000 throughout the year. The budget is broken down into seven categories of expenses: cosponsorship, executive, senate, community and publicity, wages, recognition and telephone. SGA treasurer Kevin Mullaney said
has first road trip
they do not have the exact amount of money they will receive from the university yet, as it will be added to their account throughout the year. Right now the estimated expenses for each category add up to $20,000 more than the total amount of money SGA is allocated. Mullaney said this is because they have not put down exact costs, and as they go, will continue to make cuts to the executive section as necessary to fit the budget. He said it is unlikely they will receive more than the expected $91,697 from the university, although they have applied for a 3 percent raise. Mullaney said the university provides SGA’s budget with money from student tuition and donors.

“It is to help programming [for student events]. Really, what [SGA] can do to help the university and the student body as a whole,” Mullaney said. “It is to help the experience of students and make what difference we can to make sure they have the best experience possible at Ball State.” The money the university gives SGA is based on how much they spend, so if SGA has a significant amount of money roll over into the next year, the university will cut funding. Mullaney said the Alliance executive board had around $3,000 left over, and that money has not yet been added to the current SGA’s budget.

Martez Hester has never been to Texas. Then again, there were a lot of things the Ball State safety hadn’t done before this season.

In the second half he came in and refocused him. Since then, he’s done well.” Hester will be tested by North Texas’ quarterback, senior Derek Thompson. Thompson has averaged 272 yards passing per game in 2013. He has thrown for four touchdowns in 2013. Of the 25 different players who have started at least one game this season, Hester is the youngest. He turned 19 last month.

Dill Street Bar & Grill officially opens, adds gated area Cleo’s Bourbon Bar, Redbird Tequila & Taco Bar to reopen ARIC CHOKEY CHIEF REPORTER | aachokey@bsu.edu
After giving the public a preview over the weekend, Dill Street Bar officially opened its doors Wednesday for its grand opening. Attendees heard Dill Street’s new sound system, an amenity that wasn’t present for the soft opening that occurred during the weekend. “If you want to max it out, it’ll rumble your chest, so I’m pretty excited to be honest,” said Jake Larimore, kitchen manager of
Dill Street Bar. Other features the bar added that they didn’t have at the soft opening included a gated entrance area and a 20-piece light system. “We didn’t have our lights going, so there were general comments of ‘it seemed kind of dull’ compared to the old place, but it wasn’t finished either,” Larimore said. Moving from the old location and renovating the new space with all of the new equipment took the owners and the staff several months to complete. “I spent most of my summer, even though we weren’t open, setting everything up and taking everything down,” Larimore said. “Most of the stuff in here is pretty new.”

Jordan Williams hands the ball off to a fellow player after Ball State seals the victory in the fourth quarter against Army on Sept. 7. Williams continues to make the most of his opportunities with the first team.
Williams takes advantage of current opportunities
Sophomore played sparsely previously, gaining bigger role
|
DAKOTA CRAWFORD CHIEF REPORTER @DakotaCrawford_
It was just another opportunity. As sophomore wide receiver Jordan Williams jumped up to make the contested 30-yard catch in practice, one thing was on his mind: capitalize. “I wanted that one,” Williams said. “You only get so many opportunities, so when the ball is in the air, you’ve got to go get it. You don’t want to give a defensive back a chance at stopping the play.” He was unable to reel in the high-flying pass, but the 6-foot2 receiver said he’ll get the next one. Improving in practice is Williams’ main focus, and he has plenty of time on the field to do so. Though he only runs with the first team for a handful of formations, he lines up for almost every snap with
the second team. “It’s good because I get more reps,” Williams said. “More chances to get better. I just try to take advantage of it.” Junior receiver Willie Snead matured in a similar fashion last season. He forfeited firstteam repetitions in practice to then-junior Jack Tomlinson. Tomlinson has since parted ways with the team, while Snead has become a mainstay for the offense. He leads Ball State with 14 receptions and 228 yards through two games this year. “It brings you along,” Snead said of practicing with the first and second teams. “It just gives you the reps you need, and I know Jordan has been benefiting from those reps.” Williams played in eight games last season, but failed to register a single reception. Due to extra reps or not, his 10 catches in 2013 are a huge improvement, and second on the team only to Snead. His 141 yards and one touchdown show that he’s been a big target. Senior quarterback Keith Wenning said Williams’ size makes throwing windows
easier to hit. Receivers KeVonn Mabon, Connor Ryan, Snead and Jamill Smith are listed at 6-foot-3, 6-foot-1, 5-foot-11 and 5-foot-8. Williams, at 216 pounds, outweighs all four receivers with at least one catch this season. “He brings a new element to the receivers,” Wenning said. “When you have somebody with his size on the outside, and you can bring Willie and Jamill into the slot, plus Connor and KeVonn. ... You’ve got too many guys to cover, so it makes it that much more difficult for defenses.” Wenning has had plenty of places to throw the football this season. He’s completed 47 passes for 665 yards and two touchdowns, leading Ball State to its first 2-0 start since 2008. The team’s 91 points after two games are the most in school history. “I think we’ve got one of the best corps in the country,” Williams said. “We work in the summer, and stay out here running routes. There’s people I can talk to — quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs
— our team is like a big family.” Williams said his teammates give him advice in practice every day. Adding something to a route, or learning how to read a defense are common topics of discussion. Mentoring goes beyond the field as well. Snead said he makes an effort to lend advice about social and academic life. “I always stay close with him and make sure he can talk to me,” Snead said. “That trust is always there, he can talk to me and I can talk to him, about anything.” As he continues to build relationships with teammates and coaches, Williams is getting more opportunities on game day. As he well knows, those only come so often. Whether it’s in this week’s game at North Texas or in a Tuesday practice, Williams’ mindset remains the same. “I’ve been getting certain plays to come in on, and I’m just trying to capitalize on them,” he said. “Each game I’ve grown, so this week I’m just hoping to get better in practice — the game is the easy part.”
decision fast,” Hester said. “You have to be more sure of yourself. In his first two games, Hester has played next to senior Brian Jones. Jones has played in 24 games over his career, starting seven. “If I’m unsure of something I can just ask him something because he’s a vet,” Hester said of Jones. “He definitely knows what he’s doing. He’s a guy I can rely on.” Jones said he sees a little of himself in Hester. “If anything, I feel like he’s done better than I did,” Jones
said. “I see a lot of potential in him. He’s already done good things. I can’t wait to see him continue to play well.” Jones called Hester an “athletic safety that can play from sideline to sideline.” Wide receiver Jamill Smith believes Hester may be the fastest player on the team. Hester owns the North Cobb High School record for 200 meter dash and 400 meter dash. He didn’t get to use his length and speed as much against Army, a triple-option team that ran the ball 64 times, but
Hester should get more opportunities to go sideline to sideline against North Texas and as Mid-American Conference play begins. The Mean Green averaged 41.5 rushing attempts per game in their first two contests. “I just play hard. I try to work on not running to run at times,” Hester said. “I run around a lot; I try to slow down a lot. I just play fast.” As the team travels to the Lone Star State on Friday, Hester can mark another first off the list in a season full of firsts.
HESTER: Freshman safety learns from in-game action

Being so young, Hester has tried to bulk up and add weight to his long, 6-foot-2 frame. “I feel like I have more mental toughness,” Hester said. “I’m mentally more prepared to play college football. I’ve improved on that.” After being in Ball State head coach Pete Lembo’s program for about 18 months, Hester has begun to become accustomed to the speed of the college game. “Everything happens faster and you have to know what you’re doing and make your
Playing a volleyball match is physically demanding, asking all players to push themselves to the limit for each point. It’s even tougher when a team has to play four matches in 24 hours. Ball State volleyball begins its Iowa Tournament on Friday with a match against Western Illinois, and it will end with a match against Illinois-Chicago 24 hours later. Head coach Steve Shondell believes his team struggled in the final match during the first weekend because of fatigue. He hopes depth will be the key in staying rested during the slate of games. “I’ve got 12 potential starters, so everyone has to make sure they’re ready to take on a role,” Shondell said. “It’s going to take a toll on our players.” Senior setter Jacqui Seidel knows how to condition her body to be ready for the physical toll these games will put on her. “All the preparation came from our spring and summer workouts; there’s not much we can do at this point,” Seidel said. “We have to play smart so we’re saving our legs and not letting sets stretch to five sets.” Five sets may not be necessary for Ball State against Western Illinois. The two teams met last Saturday, and Ball State walked away with a decisive 3-0-match win. Even with the victory, Shondell doesn’t want his players underestimating Western Illinois. The Leathernecks are just 3-5 after sweeping their home opener, and are led by Anna Miller and Samantha Fournier. The duo has racked up 107 and 105 kills; no
WEEKEND SCHEDULE FRIDAY • 3 p.m. at Western Illinois
• 8 p.m. at Iowa
SATURDAY • 11 a.m. at Drake
• 3 p.m. at Illinois Chicago one else has more than 42. Having success against Western Illinois combined with the team’s sparse weapons is the perfect storm for them to be overlooked by Ball State. “We know our opponent and what they’re going to do,” Shondell said. “I’m sure Western Illinois will be waiting for us after the loss we dealt them last time.” In 2010, Ball State knocked off Toledo 3-0, winning each set by a minimum of six points. Just eight days later, the Rockets revenged the loss in the MidAmerican-Conference Tournament by beating the Cardinals 3-0, showing how fast the turnaround can be. Shondell remembers the loss, but doesn’t expect his players to be overconfident against Western Illinois. At just 4-3, the Cardinals don’t have room to be arrogant, especially against a Leatherbacks team playing with a chip on its shoulder after its loss over the weekend. Seidel knows her team can’t underestimate Western Illinois but understands the need to conserve energy considering the four-match trial. “We’ll have to play smart volleyball,” Seidel said. “Putting ourselves in a situation to win early, taking care of the ball and don’t let the rallies go longer then they should.” By finishing teams off in three or four sets, Ball State could prevent fatigue from building up and allow the team to play with more energy in its final match against Illinois-Chicago. Ball State begins its weekend slate at Iowa against Western Illinois at 3 p.m.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
INDUCTION: SGA president says platform points to be completed by January | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Alyssa France was also inducted as vice president, and she said she is ready to “realize her collegiate dream.” She said the biggest difference between the original members of the executive board and herself is her four years of SGA experience. She worked as the board’s campaign manager when they ran for elections last year, which she said gives her a close working relationship with the group. Following the inductions were nominations for SGA Senate president pro-tempore. Three senators were nominated: Jack Hesser, Jason Pickell and Bryan Kubel. Elections are open to anyone and will take place at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday at the SGA Senate meeting in L.A. Pittenger Student Center Cardinal Hall B.
France, the former protempore, said she has spoken privately with all the nominees and said they are all very qualified. She said she will work to help them keep the platform they promised. Despite the transition period, Anagnos said she has been working over the past week to repair relationships that may have been damaged after the insensitive tweets. “I haven’t stopped since [Randolph resigned],” Anagnos said. “I just did stacks of apology letters.” The letters were sent to university faculty. She has also been sending emails to the presidents of student organizations asking what she can do to fix any issues. Response has been appreciative, she said. Anagnos said she plans to have spaghetti dinners for student organization execu-
tive boards so they can talk and learn more about each other’s needs. Next Anagnos said she is ready to begin working on her board’s platform points. She also said there will be several special projects her platform has worked on, such as a project with the Campus Cyber Council for the National Cyber Security Awareness Month of October. Anagnos said during her platform’s elections, several people asked why their platform points were so vague. She said they were intentionally vague in order to allow her platform to work on special projects that organizations bring to SGA. She said at the current rate, they will complete all of the platform’s points in December or January to give her executive slate time to work on more special projects.

BUDGET: Estimated costs in categories total more than expected overall funds | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The following is a breakdown of what each category is used for, and how much is budgeted for each category of expense.
TOTAL BUDGET: $91,697
WAGES
The wages allotment is spent on the stipends for the executive board and wages for the office receptionist.
Breakdown:
Wages: $46,000 Co-sponsorship: $37,447 Community & Publicity: $12,400 Executive: $10,800 Student Senate: $3,300 Telephone: $1,000 Recognition: $750 Expenses for the seven categories add up to more than the expected total budget.
Undergraduate stipends total at $36,000 and receptionist wages are allotted $10,000.
CO-SPONSORSHIP
SGA uses this money to aid other groups on campus with their programming. Mullaney said during first semester, Homecoming is the biggest expense in this category. According to SGA co-sponsorship guidelines,
all requests for funds must be approved by the co-sponsorship committee, which consists of the treasurer and one member of each of the four SGA caucuses. Events must be free of charge, take place on campus and be open to the entire student body to secure SGA co-sponsorship funds.

Russian prestige, diplomatic effort on the line in Syria UN members meet, talk options to take chemical weapons | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The White House tried Wednesday to pin the success or failure of a diplomatic option to secure Syria’s chemical weapons on Russia rather than the United States as Secretary of State John Kerry headed for Geneva to work on a Russian proposal for international inspectors to seize and destroy the deadly stockpile. On a different diplomatic front aimed at taking control of the stockpile away from the Assad government, the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council met Wednesday at Russia’s U.N. mission to consider goals for a new resolution requiring Syria’s chemical weapons to be dismantled. They left without commenting, but whether a U.N. resolution should be militarily enforceable was already emerging as a point of contention. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an opinion piece for The New York Times, called for caution in dealing with Syria, saying that a potential strike by the U.S. would create more victims and could spread the conflict beyond Syria as well as “unleash a new

wave of terrorism.” Rebels who had hoped U.S.led strikes against the Syrian government would aid their effort expressed disappointment, if not condemnation of the U.S., over President Barack Obama’s decision to pursue diplomacy in the wake of a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs last month that the U.S. says killed more than 1,400 people. “We’re on our own,” said Mohammad Joud, an opposition fighter in the war-shattered northern city of Aleppo, via Skype. “I always knew that, but thanks to Obama’s shameful conduct, others are waking up to this reality as well.” With the American public focus on diplomacy rather than military might, Vice President Joe Biden and senior White House officials summoned House Democrats and Republicans for classified briefings. The sessions followed up Obama’s nationally televised address Tuesday night in which he kept the threat of U.S. airstrikes on the table and said it was too early to say whether the Russian offer would succeed. White House spokesman Jay Carney declined to put a deadline on diplomatic efforts to resolve the standoff but said bringing Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile under international control “obviously will take some time.”

Secretary of State John Kerry testifies before the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Syria at the Rayburn House Office Building on Sept. 4 in Washington, D.C. The United States has announced its intentions for Russia to take the lead on the chemical weapons disarmament in Syria.
“Russia is now putting its prestige on the line,” he said. Asked whether U.S. prestige also was on the line, Carney said: “The United States leads in these situations. And it’s not always popular and it’s not always comfortable.” On Capitol Hill, action on any resolution authorizing U.S. military intervention in Syria was on hold, even an alternative that would have reflected Russia’s diplomatic offer. Senators instead debated an energy bill. “The whole terrain has
changed,” Sen. Dick Durbin, DIll., told reporters after a meeting of Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “We want to make sure we do nothing that’s going to derail what’s going on.” That didn’t stop Republicans from announcing their opposition to Obama’s initial call for military strikes and criticizing the commander in chief. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., accused the president of engaging in “pinball diplomacy.” However, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., an outspoken
advocate of aggressive U.S. military intervention, said he was concerned that the Russian plan could be a “rope-a-dope” delaying tactic while “that the slaughter goes on.” In the column posted on The New York Times website Wednesday, Putin asserted that it is “alarming” that military intervention in internal conflicts in foreign countries “has become commonplace for the United States.” “Is it in America’s long-term interest? I doubt it,” Putin wrote. “Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy but as relying solely on brute force, cobbling coalitions together under the slogan ‘you’re either with us or against us.’” Putin said he favored taking advantage of Syria’s willingness to place its chemical arsenal under international control and welcomed Obama’s interest in continuing to discuss Syria with Russia.
“If we can avoid force against Syria, this will improve the atmosphere in international affairs and strengthen mutual trust,” he wrote. “It will be our shared success and open the door to cooperation on other critical issues.” Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke by phone in advance of their meeting in Geneva on Thursday. “They discussed the outlines of the schedule and their shared objective of having a substantive discussion about the mechanics of identifying, verifying and ultimately destroying Assad’s chemical weapons stockpile so they can never be used again,” the State Department said in a statement Wednesday evening. Obama said the United States and its allies would work with Russia and China to present a resolution to the U.N. Security Council requiring Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to give up his chemical weapons and ultimately destroy them. Russia and China, both permanent Security Council members, have vetoed three Westernbacked resolutions aimed at pressuring Assad to end the conflict. That has left the U.N.’s most powerful body paralyzed as the war escalates and the death toll surpasses 100,000. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon earlier this week called the council’s paralysis embarrassing.

Study says Ind. incomes are decreasing Students choosing not to live in state showcase issues KARA BERG STAFF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu According to a new study by a Ball State professor, Indiana’s per capita income is continuing to fall, which may cause less students to stay after graduation. In 30 years, Indiana has dropped from 30th to 40th place for per capita income in the United States. Michael Hicks, Ball State direc-
tor of the center for business and economic research, conducted a study on personal income and the declining rates in Indiana that were published on Aug. 14. Per capita income from as far back as the 1920s and as recent as 2010 was used in the study. In 2011 Muncie’s per capita income is $16,782 compared to Indiana’s average per capita income, $24,497, according to the U.S. Census. “The goal of the study was really to examine what has happened with personal income in Indiana on a per capita basis,� Hicks said. According to the study, “over the last two decades, per capita
personal income has become an increasingly common measure of the effectiveness of economic development policy.� It said wages correlate closely to an individual’s productivity and are used to measure economic development efforts. Higher personal income has a part in greater employment, investment and production within a region, according to the study. Hicks said his research doesn’t affect Ball State students much, since many leave Indiana after graduation. “The graduate at Ball State is thinking about where to move and they have, if you’re a good
student, an abundance of options,� he said. “This study sort of implicated the number of reasons for not being very good at attracting households where there are disposable income and children. “I think most students are going to naturally gravitate to places they want to live and hopefully by the time the current freshman class graduates, more places in Indiana will recognize how important it is to provide a high quality place and good schools to potential residents.� Freshman hospitality and food management major Kira Ross said she wouldn’t stay in Muncie after graduation.
was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin. A police report on the dispute released Wednesday shed some light on how it started. Shellie Zimmerman, accompanied by her father and a friend, was removing some belongings from the couple’s house when George Zimmerman, who still lives there, arrived and began taking photos of her, the report said. The house is owned by Shellie Zimmerman’s parents. George Zimmerman recorded the items she removed from the house and also the belongings she had placed in her father’s truck, the report said. Zimmerman said his wife was “taking property that was not agreed upon and he began taking pictures and recording the items,� the report said. Shellie Zimmerman then took her iPad and started recording her husband taking photos of her, authorities said. George Zimmerman went in the house and locked the front door. What happened next is in dispute. Shellie Zimmerman told investigators she heard her father screaming from the ga-
rage. Her father, David Dean, told her that Zimmerman had hit him in the face, the report said. She said her husband then smashed her iPad. During a 911 call, she also told police that George Zimmerman was threatening her and her father with a gun. Later, however, she said she had not seen a gun. Police said they found no gun, but that Shellie Zimmerman’s father “did have a swollen red mark on the bridge of his nose.� At a news conference late Wednesday, Shellie Zimmerman was with her attorney, Kelly Sims, but didn’t answer any questions about what happened. Sims cited the on-going divorce proceedings and probation as the reason. Sims defended his client’s initial assertions that her husband was armed. Sims said Shellie Zimmerman found packaging for a new holster in the trash that day and has always known him to carry a gun. “Bottom line, Shellie had every reason to believe there was a gun,� Sims said. Sims said his client is hoping to move on as soon as possible. “The only thing Shellie wants out of the end of this relation-
ship is for it to end with a whimper and not a bang,� Sims said. In the report George Zimmerman told investigators that his wife had told him she was done picking up her belongings. He said he locked the front door and went to the garage to close it when Shellie Zimmerman’s father confronted him, according to the report. Shellie Zimmerman’s father threw down his glasses and charged his son-in-law, according to George Zimmerman’s account. Shellie Zimmerman at some point hit her husband with her iPad, George Zimmerman told investigators. Police officers asked George Zimmerman to remove his shirt so they could see if there were marks on his back. “There were no signs of trauma, redness or marks of any kind in the area where he said he was struck,� the report said. As many as seven people were at the house — friends of the Zimmermans — and they all have been questioned by investigators, Hudson said. The friends said they didn’t see what happened and footage from the house’s surveillance cameras was inconclusive, Hudson added.
Zimmerman domestic case on hold Police investigating damaged iPad for possible evidence | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKE MARY, Fla. — The investigation of a domestic dispute between George Zimmerman and his estranged wife is on hold because there is no clear evidence to charge anyone and neither side wants to press the case, a police spokesman said Wednesday. That could change if new evidence surfaces or technicians are able to extract video that recorded the dispute from Shellie Zimmerman’s smashed iPad, said Officer Zach Hudson. Law enforcement analysts are having difficulty obtaining the video because the iPad is in bad shape, he said. “We have concluded the investigation with what we have to work with right now,� Hudson said. The dispute took place Monday, just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers. In the papers, Zimmerman, 26, said she had separated from her husband a month after he

“I don’t think there are a lot of job opportunities here,� Ross said. “If I stayed it would depend on how easy it was for me to get a good job [after graduation].� Senior art major Stephanie Albrecht said she wouldn’t stay in Muncie even if she were able to get a good job. “There’s nothing here, it doesn’t matter what age you are,� she said. “There aren’t a lot of jobs in markets that are growing. Even as a college student there’s nothing to do. “I know about the middle schools and high schools in Muncie; they’re not very good. If I did stay and have
a family, I wouldn’t want to raise them here.� Since Indiana’s rate of personal income has been declining for the past 30 years, policy makers are worried because a lower per capita income can lead to lower standards of living. “What [the study] hopefully does is cause policy makers in the state to focus more attention and resources on things that matter more to people who would be interested to live here,� Hicks said. “I’m not trying to keep Ball State students in Indiana, I’m trying to make more places in Indiana places that would attract college graduates.�
DILL: Lola’s Tiki Bar won’t open until mid-October | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“You can call it soft, but it was pretty wild,� he said. Aside from the opening of Dill Street, Larimore said the addition of the new Cleo’s Bourbon Bar and Red Bird will make the block better for the local night scene. “The more attractions you have in the village, the better the draw is from other universities and people coming to visit us, because we actually almost have a bar scene now,� Larimore said. The new additions to the Village might be here this weekend, said Chris Ellison, owner of Red Bird, Cleo’s
and the Silo. “As long as we have our walk-in inspection go well, we will open Friday,� he said. Friday will be the soft opening if construction goes as planned, Ellison said. “This weekend is kind of just getting everyone familiar with the space,� he said. Lola’s Tiki Bar, Ellison’s newest venture, will not open until mid-October, he said. Even after Ellison’s bars open, Larimore doesn’t see the competition as a bad thing. “Honestly, you can have as much competition as you like, but it betters everybody,� he said. “It increases the value of the Village.�
BROTHERS PLEA NOT GUILTY TO FRAUD
BOSTON (AP) — Two brothers have pleaded not guilty to making a false $2 million claim to the Boston Marathon bombing victims’ fund for their long-dead aunt. Twenty-two-year-old Branden Mattier and 27-year-old Domunique Grice, both of Boston, were arraigned Wednesday on charges of conspiracy to commit larceny, attempt to commit larceny and identity fraud. Mattier was arrested July 2 when he allegedly accepted a fake check from an undercover state trooper. Grice was charged last month. Prosecutors said the brothers planned to test drive a new Mercedes-Benz the day they got the check.

Thor Goodman cannot stand still. Squeezed into a small living room, his eyes stay focused on the wall in front of him as he stomps the carpet and wires under his feet. His bandmates surround him, matching his level of excitement, crammed onto the small section of floor space. “Say what you will about the Apathy Wizards, but there is one thing that we have no problem bragging about. We put on one hell of a live show,” said Goodman, lead vocalist and mandolinist. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, local band Apathy Wizards practice for their upcoming show at Muncie MusicFest on Saturday. Described as gypsy, punk, folk, pirate music, the Apathy Wizards have created a sound all their own. Forming the band in 2010, Goodman turned his insomnia into an opportunity to start writing music. He recruited a gang of musicians in the smoking section of Studebaker West. Included was current flutist April Echlin and bass player Weston Morgan, a guitarist and drummer. Together they formed The Been Force Five. After the lead guitarists left the band, and drummers came and went, the band was finally made complete with drummer C.D. Tolbert and guitarist Matt Kassner. The
change to the Apathy Wizards followed. “We spent a week, just on drugs and alcohol trying to come up with a name and arguing at each other’s throats,” Goodman said. “Apathy Wizards came around because we were tired of arguing about band names like Dinosaur Breakfast.” Sitting together around a coffee table littered with leftover pizza and video games, four of the five bandmates drank wine and cracked jokes about scurvy and komodo dragons. “We talk to other bands that don’t hang out except for at practice,” Goodman said. “Honestly we weren’t looking for the best musicians, but people who want to have a good time and can put on a show.” Since getting together in 2010, the band claimed Ball State’s Battle of the Bands and gained a gathering of loyal fans they call Apathy Acolytes. When asked how they gathered such a large following, they agreed on two simple words: stage presence. Dressed in kilts, leather jackets, army hats, business suits and covered in face paint, the Apathy Wizards aim to give audiences a show like they have never seen before. Sticking with the band’s motto of “Be crazy, go crazy,” they parade on the stage, messing with each other and feeding off the audience’s energy. “We want to have a better party on stage with five people than the audience of 30 is having in front of us,” Tolbert said.

Members of Apathy Wizards take a break to chat about their band during a rehearsal on Sept. 8. Band members include Weston Morgan, Matt Kassner, Thor Goodman and C.D. Tolbert.
“The more fun we have on stage, the more the audience is going to want to party their asses off.” Kassner thrives off of the audience and wants to give them a show with meaning. As the band performs, he enters a space where playing the guitar is the only thing that matters. “A meteor could come crashing into earth and destroy everything in front of me, and I would break out of my focus,” he said. “When I do look up and see the audience, I always focus on that one guy who is there, just having the time of his life. That’s what the Apathy Wizards are all about.” In the past year the
wizards have been working on fine tuning their sound and working toward making music and playing shows as a fulltime gig. After being on tour and living out of a bus, making only enough money to get gas and eat, the band found it difficult to adjust back to their lives in Muncie. Bassist Morgan compensated the transition by drinking more. After the Apathy Wizards took the stage at Muncie Gras in March, Morgan blacked out after chugging a beer from an old fedora and ended up spending the night in the Muncie Police Department. “I had to move back to my hometown for the
summer, which started our hiatus, aka my soberiatus,” he said. “But I’m really happy because I played my first sober show in three years.” The Apathy Wizards returned from their summer-long hiatus with a show at Be Here Now in August. They are currently booking shows in the foreseeable future. They plan to do two or three shows a month. The Apathy Wizards are set to play at 9 p.m. Saturday during Muncie MusicFest at Be Here Now. To listen to some tracks before the show, check out apathywizards.bandcamp.com to listen to their complete first album.

The Village will be at the mercy of the Muncie MusicFest on Saturday night as the event brings local and out-of-town bands together for a night of music. The festival, which used to take place in the downtown area, hosts a variety of bands with connections to Muncie. Graham Watson, co-director of the festival, said the bands on the bill will help the local music community grow. “We wanted to book bands that our community felt a personal connection to,” he said. Last year’s festival featured more than 60 bands on 10 stages, and some of the bands had no to ties to Muncie. This year, the event is downsized with only 15 bands spread across four stages. Watson said this allows them to have a “more economical festival that celebrated the talents from Muncie or bands from the region that have some strong connection to Muncie.” One such band is Man With A Gun, who is influenced by metalcore groups like Killswitch Engage and progressive rock groups like The Mars Volta. The band has played at the festival for the past three years. “There’s always a good response and good energy from everyone,” Justin Schlegel, the band’s bassist, said. “It’s a really good way to get a lot of exposure ... and maybe grow the fan base.” Other bands on the bill, such as Mutts from Chicago, have made it a habit of visiting Muncie on multiple occasions, developing important relationships in the process. Mike Maimone, Mutts’ singer, keyboardist and primary songwriter, said they always get taken care of whenever they come to Muncie. The Chug and the Dill Street Bar & Grill will allow customers 21 and older, while The Cup and Be Here Now will allow all ages. Be Here Now will charge $5 for those that are younger than 21. The festival will begin at 7 p.m. at The Cup.
