ince middle school, Emanuel Escamilla knew that he wanted to go into the restaurant business. Escamilla, 23, was born in Atlanta, Ga., and raised in Muncie. Escamilla has been surrounded by food since a young age and his father owns and operates all three Puerto Vallarta’s in Muncie with members of their family. “When I was 12, I started working in the kitchen and all that, just washing dishes,” he said. “But, I would see the guys in there and I always wanted to try [cooking], and I would help them chop vegetables.” He previously studied business at Ivy Tech Community College, and co-owned the Puerto Vallarta truck that began routinely catering to late-night Village crowds last fall. When Escamilla was given the opportunity to work with local business owners, he didn’t think twice. Escamilla decided to sell his portion of the truck and go into business with Ryan Clements and Chris Ellison, local entrepreneurs who own Cleo’s Bourbon Bar, The Columbia Theater and The Silo.

Owners to fix Promenade issues Construction still going, residential complaints reduced ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu After two weeks of complaints from tenants and unfinished construction, owners of the $54 million Village Promenade said they’re making progress in addressing the problems. Residents reported finding mold, dust, dirt and faulty appliances, among other issues after the apartment complex opened.
MUNCIE, INDIANA
“We have a construction crew on-site. I talked to them today and asked how many work orders they had, and they said three,” said Larry Gough, real estate developer at Investment Property Advisors and building owner for the Village Promenade. “The first day we opened our doors we had 70.” The developers expected most of problems, which are not uncommon for new buildings, Gough said. The complex opened Aug. 16 after 10 months of construction. The units and parking enclosure were completed, but still had an inoperable garage elevator and outages of internet, cable and air conditioning. CONTACT US
HOPE YOU PAID YOUR RENT.
Still missing are all amenities — the pool, hot tub and fitness center — which are expected to be completed between mid-September and October, Gough said. Businesses are expected to move into the commercial space throughout the year. While construction is still going, the city of Muncie granted temporary occupancy to the Promenade. This means the building is safe for renters, but will require a follow-up inspection once it’s finished. Gough said the majority of work orders and concerns raised by residents were nothing big.

OBAMA RESUMES PUSH FOR MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES
3. ORGANIZERS AIM TO UNIONIZE FAST FOOD NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald’s, Wendy’s and other fast-food restaurants are expected to be targeted with acts of civil disobedience that could lead to arrests Thursday as labor organizers escalate their campaign to unionize the industry’s workers. Kendall Fells, an organizing director for Fast Food Forward, said in an interview that workers in a couple of dozen cities were trained to peacefully engage in civil disobedience ahead of this week’s
MILWAUKEE (AP) — President Barack Obama renewed his push for Congress to raise the minimum wage Monday in a buoyant accounting of the economy’s “revving” performance, delivered on behalf of Democrats opening their fall campaigns for the midterm congressional elections. “America deserves a raise,” he told a union crowd in Milwaukee, vowing to keep a hard sell on Congress in much the way he once courted his wife. “I just wore her down,” he cracked. Timing his push to Labor Day, the traditional start of the autumn campaign, Obama aggressively drew attention to recent economic gains, setting aside past caution on that subject.
planned protests. The fast-food campaign is designed to bring attention to such hardships, which few customers think about when buying burgers and fries, said Catherine Fisk, a professor of labor law at the University of California in Irvine. Over time, she said that could help “change the mindset” about fast-food jobs, which have historically been seen as difficult to unionize. “The goal is to persuade workers that it doesn’t have to be this way,” she said.

2. DETAINED AMERICANS REQUEST NEGOTIATION PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea gave foreign media access on Monday to three detained Americans who said they have been able to contact their families and — watched by officials as they spoke — called for Washington to send a high-ranking representative to negotiate for their freedom. Jeffrey Fowle and Mathew Miller said they expect to face trial within a month. But they said they do not know what punishment they could face or what the specific charges against them are. Kenneth Bae, who already is serving

a 15-year term, said his health has deteriorated at the labor camp where he works eight hours a day. In Washington, National Security Council spokesman Patrick Ventrell said, “We have seen the reports of interviews with the three American citizens detained in North Korea.” “Securing the release of U.S. citizens is a top priority and we have followed these cases closely in the White House,” his statement added. “We continue to do all we can to secure their earliest possible release.”
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — State regulators have approved a Vectren Corp. proposal for a new customer fee to pay for a project replacing more than 1,000 miles of aging natural gas distribution lines across much of Indiana. The approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission gives Vectren permission to charge a monthly fee to cover 80 percent of the project’s estimated $865 million cost. Officials of the Evansville-based
company say the project is needed to ensure the safety and reliability of its gas network. The project will include removing bare steel and cast iron distribution mains and installing new pipes, most of which will be plastic, according to Vectren. The new fee will show up on customer bills starting in 2015 and continue through 2021, Vectren spokeswoman Chase Kelley told the Evansville Courier & Press.
5. RUSSIA ASKS FOR CEASEFIRE WITH REBELS MOSCOW (AP) — Pro-Russian rebels softened their demand for full independence Monday, saying they would respect Ukraine’s sovereignty in exchange for autonomy — a shift that reflects Moscow’s desire to strike a deal at a new round of peace talks. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Ser-
gey Lavrov said participants in Monday’s talks needed to push for an immediate, unconditional cease-fire. “There will be no military intervention,” Lavrov told students at Moscow State Institute of International Relations. “We call for an exclusively peaceful settlement of this severe crisis, this tragedy.”

A pedestrian walks past store fronts at the Village Promenade on Monday. There are four confirmed businesses going into the Village Promenade.
Businesses to join complex in Village Retail space next step after sidewalk construction ends ALAN HOVORKA AND ARIC CHOKEY | news@bsudailynews.com As construction progresses in The Village, new businesses are making deals to move into the newly-built commercial space in the Village Promenade. The 20,000 square-foot, retail space of the Village Promenade will house a Brother’s Bar, Let’s Spoon Frozen Yogurt shop and a Mexican restaurant. Brother’s Bar is set to open Oct. 1. Domino’s Pizza will also move into the east building. Todd Donati, director of the Muncie Redevelopment Com-

TODD DONATI, director of the Muncie Redevelopment Commission mission, said plans are in the works for a burger restaurant and a coffee shop, but details have not been released. Most of the upcoming storefronts have tenants awaiting to move, he said. Still, with the commercial space not yet ready for move-in, Donati said the
deals are second to getting construction finished. “It’s hard to have a retail timeline when you are still trying to get the sidewalk done and all that,” he said. “Right now, we just can’t take on any more construction. There’s just too many contractors and not enough space.”
knocked out by the storm from last week. The Promenade had been struck by lightning. Gough said maintenance was working that night until 1 a.m. The apartment complex has offered to take $150 off Wilson’s next month’s rent. They both pay $800 per month, $140 more a year than other residents of the same floor plan that signed in the summer. Other students also reported issues to the Daily News, but preferred to stay anonymous. “Most of the tenants are thankful when we respond so promptly, but there is always a handful that are tough to please,” Gough said. While Wilson’s case was the most severe of those reported to the Daily News, some residents have had little to no issues at all. Drew Adamson, a junior digi-
tal sport production major, said he had a positive experience moving in. His only concern prior to move-in was when he visited the Promenade a week before, his unit had not been finished. After moving in, his wi-fi was fixed right away. “They were working on it room to room, making sure everything was working and slowly expanding it out to the rest of the complex,” Adamson said. Even the on-going construction has not bothered him much. “From my standpoint, the amenities’ not being done is not as much of big deal,” he said. “But, I don’t think they gave themselves enough time to build everything the way they wanted to.” Wendy Wilson, a property
The Maker District designed by Ball State graduate students is making progress toward becoming a part of Muncie. The project to redesign a blighted downtown Muncie neighborhood started earlier this year, and is continuing to work toward its goal of becoming an economic and entrepreneur opportunity for Muncie. The Maker District is a sixblock area in the Goldsmith C. Gilbert Historic District. Urban planning graduate students are working on transforming it into a space filled with workshops and resources for local creators to work and create businesses. “We thought live-work [creators living and making in the same house] is a great idea for Muncie because we have so many maker-type people coming out of Ball State and the history of Muncie being manufacturing people who have done tool and die making for years,” said Sherri Contos, director of the Muncie Arts and Culture Council. Contos said renovating the properties is a good way to give them a new identity, since the properties are historic buildings that cannot be torn down. Scott Truex, an associate professor of urban planning, said making something like this has the potential to transform Muncie and bring excitement and young investment to Muncie. “What if Ball State really got serious about partnering with the city of Muncie and did something?” Truex said. “Instead of doing [immersive learning] on campus, we can do it in the community and it benefits a broader base. We’re not an island. “That would be true immersive learning. Not just sending students out and gathering them back, but actually investing in

the community.” Truex said while progress is going slow for the district, it isn’t any slower than he expected it to be. “I think these things take time,” Truex said. “This was an idea that is somewhat new and so the process of getting some of the community leaders familiar with it and getting them to understand how it’s happening in other parts of the country typically takes some efforts.” Truex said the symposium they had in the spring to introduce people to the idea of a Maker’s District was successful. “It’s become a much bigger part of the vocabulary for everybody from the mayor to Chamber of Commerce and others,” Truex said. “So that’s the key, getting people eased into the concept and the idea of what the maker is as an economic opportunity and as an entrepreneur opportunity.” They are currently working on planning a follow-up symposium, and are also working on the development of the Gilbert and McKinley area. There is a plan set to be completed by Oct. 1 that Truex said will try to show the projections of what the district could be. Truex said Ball State can play
an important role in the success of the district, with the entrepreneur programs and all the audit and district makers they are training. “We’re bridging that and using that as a potential way to make amazing maker history that is Muncie that can be capitalized on with this experience,” he said. Truex said he thought the community reaction to the Makers District would be very positive. “It’s focused on building the local economy and the ancestry of Muncie and the heritage of Muncie, so I think as more people understand it and see the potentials for it, there will be a lot of support,” he said. But getting the community involved with the program hasn’t been easy to do. Turki Alhedr, an urban planning graduate student, said it wasn’t easy to convince people to come and share their opinions about the district and it’s future needs. “I think they are not sure about [the district],” he said. “They like the solutions and they like the reality, but they want to know how we can translate the solution to the reality.”here.

PROMENADE: Residents report lack of amenities, varying move-in day experiences
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Still, one resident said her issues were of particular concern, citing paint splatters on the carpeting and urine in a shower. “We have continuously been having problems the entire time we have been living there,” said Allison Wilson, a sophomore digital sport production major. “Upon move-in, they had informed us that they had not even cleaned our unit.” When she first walked into her apartment, Wilson said her unit was “sloppily done.” “The carpet doesn’t fit the corners, the paint was splattered everywhere. Our dishwasher wasn’t hooked up,” she said. Other issues she found included no wi-fi, little to no air conditioning, cracks in shower tile, buckling in wood flooring, outlets without coverings, a washer not hooked up properly and dust on every piece of furniture. Wilson was unable to provide the Daily News with any photos of the paint on her carpet, urine in the shower or other serious damages. Gough said they re-cleaned her apartment and took other measures to rectify the situation. Wilson was also worried about her safety. “I stayed in a hotel the other night for security purposes. With the construction workers in the hallways all the time, and we had been told they may or may not have master keys, we had construction workers knocking on our door at 11:30 at night,” she said. Wilson and her roommate were unable to identify the workers. She said they were unaccompanied by any management. They called their parents, who put them up in a hotel for a night. Gough said the workers were there repairing air conditioning units that had be

She had to intervene and help one resident who was crying outside her apartment. “I stopped and talked to a girl’s mother on the phone because she was crying in the hallways,” Wendy said. “I spoke to her mother and said, ‘Look she is not making this up, it’s a little difficult right now. We’re experiencing the same thing. If I can help in anyway I will, but just know she isn’t overreacting.’” Overall, the move-in experience could have been handled differently, Wendy and Allison said. “You could tell by the staff’s faces that they knew it was going to be a rough day,” Wendy
said. “If it were me as a property manager, I almost would have been out there apologizing ahead of time, ‘Hey guys I just want to let you know, we are getting you in, we know school starts Monday.’ Nothing like that was said.” Gough said he knows the process was difficult, appreciates his residents cooperation and
admitted some of the units were not cleaned perfectly. “It was very difficult and we apologize to our tenants because we want them to be happy,” he said. “Our focus has totally been on taking care of their issues and making sure they had everything they wanted. We’ve messed up and we corrected it.”

Ball State football’s new quarterback Ozzie Mann wasn’t asked to put the entire weight of the offense on his shoulders in his first collegiate start. He threw mostly short slants and quick passes out to the flats, occasionally taking a chance deep, but usually playing it safe in Ball State’s 30-10 win over Colgate on Aug. 30. Head coach Pete Lembo thought Mann handled the situation well, noting that Ball State didn’t have any false starts or delay of game penalties, and said he thought Mann looked as sharp as he has in practice. “It felt good, it felt like he was in control of the offense,” Lembo said. “It felt like we were operating how Ball State operates.” Mann finished the game with 203 yards while throwing 20for-32, two touchdowns and one interception. After sitting on the bench for two years and only receiving sporadic playing time while relieving former quarterback Keith Wenning, Mann’s first start couldn’t have come any sooner. “It was just fun to get out there and compete with the guys,” Mann said. “I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity, so it’s a good time.” It didn’t take Mann long to find the end zone. Late in the first quarter, he threw a quick screen to wide receiver KeVonn Mabon who broke a tackle and turned up field for a 34-yard score.
The touchdown was the first of Mann’s career, putting Ball State up 10-0 at the time. Mann’s only interception came on a controversial call halfway through the second quarter. Driving deep into Colgate territory, Mann tossed a ball into the end zone and watched wide receiver Chris Shillings and Colgate defensive back Adam Bridgeforth leap for the ball. Bridgeforth appeared to initially come down with the ball before Shillings pulled it away, but Colgate was awarded the interception. It was Mann’s only costly blemish on the day, as Colgate would score a touchdown on the resulting possession. After losing Jordan Williams early to an ankle injury, Mann targeted Mabon often. Mabon finished with 110 of Mann’s 203 yards and 11 receptions, as it was clear the pair was on the same page early during the game. “I’m pretty comfortable with KeVonn,” Mann said. “Throwing in the off-season and throwing during camp, we’ve got to have good chemistry, and I think we’ve got that.” With 45 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Mann lofted a pass to the corner of the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown to Aaron Hepp, giving Ball State a 20-7 lead. Lembo wasn’t surprised, saying he’s seen Mann make those throws during the off season. “It was another day at the office for [Mann],” Lembo said. “He identified things well, he was on time.” Mann said he’ll still be aiming to improve all areas of his game in the upcoming week, but it was nice to get the first start out of the way.

Cardinals capture tourney Hopkins wins MVP, records 33 kills in weekend matches
Freshmen contributed, but it was the Cardinals’ veterans who provided the team with leadership throughout the tournament. Redshirt junior Kelly Hopkins was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. The middle blocker and outside hitter led the Cardinals with 33 kills, an average of 3.30 per set. The redshirt junior also registered five block assists. Junior outside hitter Alex Fuelling and junior setter Jenna Spadafora joined Hopkins on the All-Active Ankle Challenge First Team. Fuelling posted 27 kills in three games and hit .185. She had three service aces and 32 digs in the tournament. Spadafora tallied 92 assists over the weekend. She is averaging 9.20 assists per set, while also hitting .300 on 11 kills. The team returns to the court Sept. 5 in Laramie, Wyo., for the UniWyo Wyoming Invite.

The Ball State women’s volleyball team was victorious in two of three matches this weekend as it hosted and won the Ball State Active Ankle Challenge. With three games in 24 hours, the Cardinals needed contributions from its entire lineup, and head coach Steve Shondell received just that. Shondell praised freshman Jessica Lindsey and redshirt freshman Sabrina Mangapora for their play off the bench. He capitalized on important minutes played by freshman Bailey Baumer as well. “The younger players are doing great,” redshirt junior Hayley Benson said. “It’s really good to see them mix in with the system really smoothly … and you can’t even tell that

Colorado later that evening. Shondell was not surprised to see his team come out and respond the way it did. “It just tells me what I already knew,” Shondell said. “They’re great kids, they’re a team with great chemistry, and they want to win.”
SEASON BEGINS WITH PAIR OF WINS Goalkeeper allows single goal in both weekend victories MALLORY WEIL STAFF REPORTER | mrweil@bsu.edu
The Ball State field hockey team has begun its 2014 season with wins over Davidson and Appalachian State. “The team fought hard for the entire 70 minutes and were consistent with their effort all weekend,” head
coach Beth Maddox said after Monday’s 4-1 victory over Appalachian State. After opening the season by beating Davidson 4-1 on Sunday, the Cardinals had less than 24 hours to prepare for their match with the Mountaineers, but Maddox’s squad played at a high level. “Energy level was great all weekend,” Maddox said. “Even though they had less than 24 hours to recover from Sundays win, they still found a way to work together and get the job done.”
Sophomore Lexi Kavanaugh and junior Bethany Han scored two goals a piece for Ball State over the extended weekend. Senior Tori Widrick, junior Bianca Velez and sophomores Colleen McGlynn and Merinda Morley also contributed to the combined eight goals. The team’s offense weren’t the only one’s who showed up this weekend, the defense limited their opponents to one goal. Junior Shelby Henley had an outstanding opening weekend, earning a save percentage of .750 against Davidson

NACHOS: Business owners rebrand bar, consider future expansion opportunities | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Cleo’s Bourbon Bar went under renovations that moved the bar away from the center. The bar is now sectioned off to 21 ages and up.

Together, Ellison and Clements closed down the pair’s fourth bar, Redbird, and brought in Escamilla’s most recent venture: Sir Nachos. According to Cleo’s Twitter page, the bar closed for renovations July 21 and reopened Aug. 15. Clements said from beginning to end, the idea to convert Cleo’s into a minor-friendly bar and grill came to fruition in a matter of weeks. “We started talking to [Escamilla] about it in July,” he said. “We were looking for somebody to do something in our kitchens, and it just worked out.” Redbird, which formerly operated in the same space as Cleo’s, is no longer in business, Clements said. “Redbird needs its own place, and that could happen down the road,” Clements said. “But not both [Cleo’s and Redbird] in the same place. So that’s where [Escamilla] comes in.” “Right when he offered it to me, I knew it was a good deal,” Escamilla said. Although Sir Nachos’ menu is similar in pricing and content to that of the Puerto Vallarta truck, Escamilla said items like the Spicy Chipotle Burrito and the Pork Carnitas Burrito can only be found at his restaurant. “I made the wraps for students so they can just walk with it, especially at night time,” he said. “They just like to carry something easy.” The roots of Sir Nachos and Puerto Vallarta’s offerings were planted decades ago, at El Toro, a Mexican restaurant in Atlanta, Ga., said Escamilla. “They created the cheese dip, and that’s what made them so popular,” he said. “And everybody just expanded from that.”

Escamilla said his family and extended family members own more than 100 restaurants throughout the country. The bar is now split into a bar and grill area, allowing minors to occupy part of the space, said Clements. “We really want this to be like
a Scotty’s,” Escamilla said. Although Escamilla doesn’t yet have plans to move Sir Nachos out of Cleo’s, expanding isn’t out of the question for the young business owner. “He does really well at what he does,” Clements said. “You haven’t seen anything yet.”
