Project looks at unsolved deaths Immersive learning program earns award, works with police KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu An immersive learning project to promote awareness about unsolved murder cases won the 2014 Best Community Initiative award at the Crime Stoppers USA Training Conference in Austin, Texas.

In response, Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard has also proclaimed September as National Crime Stoppers month.

During the past year, 18 students worked individually on unsolved murder cases from as long ago as the 1940s and 1950s to write an extensive case report and make a public service announcement video for 16 cases.

The students, who were mostly junior and senior criminal justice majors, worked with central InCRIME STOPPERS diana police deAS OF SEPTEMBER partments and Arrests Made: 293,838 Crime Stoppers Cases Cleared: 563,339 of Central IndiSOURCE: crimetips.org ana to put together the reports and PSAs. Some of the PSA videos the students made are posted on the Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana’s website.

They looked at five types of unsolved death cases: unsolved murders, unknown persons, fatal hit and run, missing persons and fatal arson.

Bryan Byers, the faculty mentor for the project and a criminal justice and criminology professor, said the idea of the project was to get the students immersed in the world of cold case investigations.

“We wanted to learn about what the families were going through and how much they suffer, and also to connect with the criminal justice community,” Byers said.

The students did research on the case through old newspapers and interviewed families of the victims, as well as witnesses and detectives involved with the case.

HOW LONG IS THE LINE INSIDE THE ATRIUM TODAY?

Glass Bowl for nearly three hours, there was nothing for Ball State players to do but sit and wait.

“It sucked, really, but our coaches were preaching to stay mentally ready,” wide receiver Jordan Williams said. “Originally, they told us it’s only going to be 30 minutes. But then it turns into another 30 minutes, and another 30 minutes, and you have to keep your mind on the task at hand.”

During severe weather delays, a game can’t be restarted until at least 30 minutes have passed since the last flash of lightning. As players wondered when they’d be allowed back onto the field, each flash reset the clock.

Ball State football players sprawled out on the visiting locker room floor in Toledo. Some sat, some stood, all tried to relax, but there was nothing they could do about their bodies and minds being ready for a game.

It wasn’t that the game hadn’t started; 14 plays had already been run, and more than five minutes had ticked off the clock. But when tornado sirens sounded and a rainstorm began on Sept. 20, shutting down the

Inconsistent play, mistakes coming back to ‘haunt’ team

JAKE FOX ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @fakejox3

After completing its non-conference portion of the schedule, the Ball State women’s volleyball team opened up Mid-American Conference play last weekend by splitting road matches against Western Michigan and Northern Illinois.

But head coach Steve Shondell feels his team could just as easily be 2-0 in conference.

“Even though we came away with a split, we were really our own worst enemy,” Shondell said. “We just made a lot of unforced errors on our side of the net that good teams should not be making.”

Shondell said the errors were a mark of inexperience and will be a focal point of improvement the rest of the season.

Ball State began play with a 3-2 comeback victory over Western Michigan. The Cardinals trailed two sets to one, before rallying to win the final two sets and the match.

In the victory, the Cardinals set season highs with 15 total blocks and an attack percentage of .290.

The team showed resiliency, but Shondell mentioned early

The women’s volleyball team started its Mid-American Conference play this past weekend. The team won 3-2 over Western Michigan and lost 3-0 to Northern Illinois.

struggles with service errors, an aspect of the game that has been a strength this year.

Consistency has also been a point of focus all year, but Ball State was unable to keep its momentum, being swept 3-0 to Northern Illinois.

“I think we might have gotten a little bit comfortable with our standings,” redshirt junior Hayley Benson said.

“I think that every match we have to go in knowing what we need to do and taking it very seriously, realizing every

match is a new game and they can all turn out different.”

The Cardinals struggled defensively, allowing the Huskies to hit .382 on 43 kills. The team only managed three blocks in the match, after registering 15 the night before.

“I think that it all builds off of each other,” Benson said.

“When the block isn’t there it’s harder for the back row to play defense which turns into the setter running all over the place.”

As the Cardinals continue

to navigate through conference play, they will look to maximize their potential through practice.

However, experience will come with time and more matches.

“We’ve improved a lot this year, but we’re still making a lot of inexperienced mistakes on the court, and they’ve really come back to haunt us,” Shondell said.

Ball State returns to action at 7 p.m. Friday, with a home match against Eastern Michigan.

FOOTBALL: Lightning delays game for almost 3 hours | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Offensive coordinator Joey Lynch said Ball State preaches to control what can be controlled and not worry about the uncontrollable.

The coaching staff checked the radar in the hours prior to the game and alerted the team that there was a possibility of a midgame delay.

“When it happened, I thought the kids handled it great,” Lynch said. “They got comfortable in the locker room, sitting down and relaxed and waited it out.”

Lynch used the time to talk to his offense about what he saw during Ball State’s six offensive plays. Toledo had already shown multiple coverage looks and Lynch wanted to take advantage of the break to regroup.

About an hour and a half into the delay, lightning subsided and the teams came onto the field for a quick 10-minute warmup before restarting the game. Players were finishing their final stretches and coaches were getting ready to send the Toledo offense and Ball State defense back onto the field, as the clock showed less than two minutes remaining until the game officially restarted.

A flash of lightning shattered the black sky.

They went back to the locker rooms, again, for at least another 30 minutes.

“You get so amped up to get ready to play, and then you have to come back in, go out, come back in again, it’s hard,” offensive lineman Steven Bell said.

It isn’t easy for all players to get their minds and bodies ready

to play, and then suddenly shut them down at a moment’s notice.

Bell said it’s easier for linemen to do it, but many players struggle.

A lot of players have mental and physical routines they go through before a game. When they’re disrupted, it can throw the players off focus.

Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said after the game that his team did a good job of staying mentally ready throughout the break, some of which may be credited to the coaching staff. Bell said the coaches tried to hide how bad the storm actually was, so that the players wouldn’t know how long the delay would last.

“They didn’t want us to just lounge around and get comfortable for a couple hours,” Bell said. “They’d come in and say,

‘Another 30 minutes, another 15, 10.’ They didn’t tell us exactly how bad the radar looked but we found out later on how nasty it was out there.”

After Ball State went into the locker room for the second time, Bell described it as depressing, as he just wanted to get out and play. Williams agreed with the sentiment.

“We’re all talking and saying ‘Man, how long is this going to take,’” Williams said. “We had to keep our minds right so we’d be ready to come back out.”

By the time two hours and 42 minutes passed and the delay came to an end, Bell was more than ready to get on the field.

“Playing in games is so much fun. Once it was finally over, I just couldn’t wait to get the game restarted,” Bell said.

TEAM DROPS 6TH CONSECUTIVE MATCH

The Ball State field hockey team lost its sixth straight match Sunday, falling in a shootout 4-3 to St. Louis.

With the loss, Ball State falls to 3-6 on the season.

The Cardinals jumped out to an early lead, courtesy of a goal from senior midfielder Tori Widrick in the 17th minute. Moments later, freshman midfielder Abbey Main scored her first goal of the season, extending Ball State’s advantage to two.

After freshman Carley Shannon scored her first goal of the year in the 31st minute, the match appeared to be well in hand for the Cardinals.

Ten seconds later, the Billikens answered with a goal from midfielder Morgan Crowe.

St. Louis kept pressure on Ball State’s defense in the second half, scoring in the 50th and 60th minutes to tie the score at three.

After two overtime periods, the match went into a shootout, where St. Louis senior Lisa Smith scored on Ball State goalkeeper Shelby Henley.

Ball State senior Tarel Teach missed the potential match tying goal off the right side of the net, giving St. Louis the win.

The Ball State field hockey team will look to snap its losing streak at 8 p.m. on Friday, when they travel to Iowa City to face off against Iowa.

Country singer cancels concert Scheduling conflict causes ticket refunds for Corbin performance SKELLY STAFF REPORTER | ROSE rmskelly@bsu.edu

Country music singer Easton Corbin has canceled his scheduled performance for Oct. 10 in John R. Emens Auditorium.

The performance was scheduled during Homecoming Week.

Kristi Chambers, assistant director of marketing and communications for Emens, said she didn’t get any specific details about the conflict from Corbin’s team for the cancellation.

“Travel is usually the number one reason [for scheduling conflicts] for our events,” Chambers said. “It’s likely that it was a prior commitment, that they couldn’t get [the equipment] over to us.”

Chambers said she has re-

ceived more negative reactions from the Muncie community than from the students, even though they had sold several hundred student tickets at the time of the cancellation.

“Typically, country shows have more of a community draw than a student draw,” Chambers said.

All of the tickets sold so far are being refunded. Chambers said more information can be found at the Emens box office.

“I think that’s just kind of weird, that they wouldn’t give us more information about [the cancellation],” said Michelle Caneva, a junior elementary education major.

Even with their headliner gone, Emens still has plans for Homecoming Week.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band performs worldwide and will team up with Allen Toussaint, a New Orleans singer-songwriter.

They will perform on Oct. 11.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the Emens box office.

Walk focuses on gun violence issue Mayor advocates for stricter policies regarding firearms

|

DOMINIQUE MOREFIELD STAFF REPORTER damorefield@bsu.edu

The Muncie mayor came out to show support for a former Ball State employee and other victims of gun violence.

Garth Rector, an employee of Ball State, was shot and killed by an intruder in his home in 2008.

For Saturday’s walk, supporters gathered around the steps of Muncie’s City Hall, some wearing shirts portraying the face of a person who was killed.

« Sadness loves

“I get to meet different people who went through what I’m going through,” said Barbara Young, a guest speaker who lost two of her children to gun violence.

Garth’s parents said having other families around them who have similar experiences has helped in the healing process.

“Sadness loves company,” Billy Rector, Garth’s father, said.

“So we have company in these people here.”

After friends and families walked about a mile near downtown, Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler, a long-time friend of the Rector family, stressed his support for awareness.

“I think the most important thing is that educating

the public on the dangers of guns,” Tyler said.

Tyler said he is a member of Mayors Against Gun Violence and advocates for criminal background checks to be done before someone can have a gun permit.

“I definitely believe there should be stricter requirements for licensing and permits,” Tyler said.

Unlike the mayor and Lockhart, Bethany Cmar, another supporter, said her opinion on the second amendment was not changed after her sister-in-law, Chris Gestrich, was killed in a gun crime last year.

This was Cmar’s second year at Garth Walk.

“I think we as citizens have

the right to bear arms and I’ve got one in my truck right now,” she said.

Still, the different opinions held by attendees didn’t outweigh the communal support the walk provided.

“I think just coming together and sharing our experiences, everybody seems to go down the same path of grief, but we’re all in different stages,” she said.

maintain social order, including ensuring smooth traffic and ensuring the public safety,” said the Beijing-backed Leung, who is deeply unpopular. He added, “When they carry out their duties, they will use their maximum discretion.”

The city’s transport department said besides road closures in areas such as Causeway Bay, Wan Chai and Admiralty — where the protests have been focused — main roads have also been blocked by demonstrators in Mong Kok. More than 200 bus routes have been canceled or diverted in a city dependent on public transport. Subway exits have also been closed or blocked near protest areas.

The mass protest, which has gathered support from high school students to seniors,

is the strongest challenge yet to Beijing’s decision to limit democratic reforms for the semi-autonomous city.

The scenes of billowing tear gas and riot police outfitted with long-barreled weapons, rare for this affluent Asian financial hub, are highlighting the authorities’ inability to assuage public discontent over Beijing’s rejection last month of open nominations for candidates under proposed guidelines for the first-ever elections for Hong Kong’s leader, promised for 2017.

Authorities said some schools in areas near the main protest site would be closed, as Leung urged people to go home, obey the law and avoid causing trouble.

“We don’t want Hong Kong to be messy,” Leung said as he read a statement that was

broadcast early Monday.

That came hours after police lobbed canisters of tear gas into the crowd on Sunday evening. The searing fumes sent demonstrators fleeing, though many came right back to continue their protest. The government said 26 people were taken to hospitals.

The protests began with sitins over a week earlier by students urging Beijing to grant genuine democratic reforms to this former British colony.

“This is a long fight. I hope the blockade will continue tomorrow, so the whole thing will be meaningful,” said 19-year-old Edward Yau, a business and law student.

“The government has to understand that we have the ability to undo it if they continue to treat us like we are terrorists.”

CRIME: Students interview close relatives of victims | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “A lot of times with these cases … it really helps to get a new set of eyes on the case in order to give it a fresh perspective,” Byers said. “The students were able to do that.

We had a few cases where students were able to share info with detectives that was a new angle to look at it.”

Byers said there hasn’t been anything like this project done before, which is part of the reason why he thinks they won the award.

“This is something new and cutting edge and extremely unique,” he said. “There have been a few instances where university classes will get one case and work on it, but this idea of having each student work on their own case and do their own investigation and reexamine and do a report and a video is new.”

Alison McCool, a public administration graduate student with a concentration in criminal justice, said her favorite part of working on the project was being able to interview the families of the victims.

“Many of [the families] hadn’t gotten to talk before or hadn’t got to talk in years, so one of the best parts was getting to hear their stories and showing them that someone actually cares about them and that someone wanted to help them find answers,” McCool said.

McCool said many people thought the project was about solving the cases, but she said the goal was to bring awareness back to these cases and get them back out into the public eye to get tips for them.

“In a lot of cold cases, there is somebody out there who knows something,” McCool said. “So the more they push it, maybe it could help get

DAVID BLANKENSHIP, a senior criminal justice and criminology major some answers for one family out there. If somebody is watching one of the PSAs [and says,] ‘Oh I know something,’ they can call and help bring some closure to one of these families out there.”

David Blankenship, a senior criminal justice and criminology major, had a similar idea.

“When you put the exposure on these cold cases, somebody might crack, somebody might say something, the suspect might have a change of heart,” Blankenship said. “I think time will tell if our work could lead to a case being solved, but that would probably be the greatest feeling in the world.”

Since a lot of the project dealt with interviewing families, Blankenship said he liked being able to be in the detective’s profession and help the family members of the victims deal with the stress of it.

“The action in the [cold] case has dropped off, and we go to those family members and they’re ecstatic we’re doing this,” Blankenship said. “Helping those people understand that someone cares about these cases and that we’re not forgetting about them is probably the greatest feeling from this project.”

Kylie Marcus, BSUDM vicepresident of external affairs, said the team wanted to raise more than $5,000, which it raised last year. The morning included music by WCRD, a mini zumba session before the race and shared stories from families from Riley Hospital.

“It’s a really fun event, and we try to make it where people can come and have a good time while supporting a good cause,” Marcus said.

“If you’re here for fitness that’s awesome, if you’re here to support these families, or know someone else who goes to Riley, that’s spectacular. As long as these people come out, have a good time and realize why we do this.”

Freshman advertising majors John Bell and Cody Wollston prepare to defend themselves as the opposing team begins an attack on Saturday at the Renaissance Fair in LaFollette Field. Those involved in the live-action battles at the Renaissance Fair took part in a variety of different battles, including one where the whole group was split into two teams and fought each other.

Ball State students strip down to support the troops and the Muncie Community, by donating to the United Service Organization and Goodwill, by participating in the Mile to the Isle run on Friday down McKinley and Riverside avenues. Participants finished the mile in less than 15 minutes.
