Spierers request to seal lawsuit evidence FROM IDS REPORTS

The parents of Lauren Spierer, the IU student who disappeared June 3, 2011, want some evidence in their lawsuit sealed. Rob and Charlene Spierer filed Thursday for a protective order on private and sensitive information and materials that might come to light in the suit against two men they say are responsible for Lauren’s presumed death. The lawsuit says Jason Rosenbaum and Corey Rossman, who were both with Lauren the night she disappeared, owed Lauren a “duty of care” after they reportedly provided the intoxicated minor with alcoholic beverages. According to court documents released Thursday, Rosenbaum and Rossman reportedly gave Lauren alcohol when she was already clearly drunk, which led to her disappearance and presumed death. Rosenbaum and Rossman deny the Spierers’ allegations and have asked the lawsuit be dismissed. According to court documents, the protective order is meant to protect sensitive information that might help police investigating Lauren’s disappearance and ensure an impartial jury. The Spierers also requested all confidential evidence be destroyed within 30 days after the case ends.

Starlite Drive-In, located south of Bloomington, first opened in 1955 in the backyard of original owners Ruth and Carl Stewart. The current owners are no longer able to maintain the theater and are looking to sell.

When Brooke Eads heard the Starlite Drive-In theater was going to close, she immediately knew she needed to help. The Starlite has been a town icon since 1955, and its current owners, Cindy and Troy Jarvis, said they couldn’t keep it open any longer. Eads, a 32-year-old publisher and photographer, grew up attending shows at Starlite. Now, Eads is trying to buy the Starlite, but first she needs to raise the money. “I have been going to the drive-in

since I was a child and have great memories there,” Eads said. “I also worked at Starlite Drive-In for the previous owners, Carl and Ruth Stewart, when I was in my teens and early 20s.” Cindy Jarvis has a similar affection for Starlite and said many of her best memories were made there. Her kids had friends over. The family sometimes camped at the drive-in. “Starlite was our home away from home on the weekends,” Jarvis said. “Everyone would work — they loved SEE STARLITE, PAGE 8

FUNDRAISER INFORMATION

“There are so many drive-ins that have this hurdle they have to overcome, and so many of them are going to be lost in that transfer.” Scott Shafer, friend of Brooke Eads

A fundraising event will take place from 7 p.m. to midnight today at 37 Junction Bar & Grill. The night will include raffling off donated items from local business. Eads is also running a T-shirt campaign through the website booster.com/ savestarlitedrivein.

Heading into halftime, the IU men’s basketball team (138, 3-5) had a comfortable 32-19 lead over the Nebraska Cornhuskers (11-9, 3-5). Twenty minutes of game time later, the final scoreboard showed something much different. Nebraska had won, 60-55. IU’s largest lead of the game came late in the first half, when it led by 16 points against a Nebraska team that has just one loss at home this season. The Hoosiers struggled mightily in the second half, managing only 23 points in a frustrating half that saw IU’s turnover issues creep up on them again. The game was running smoothly for the Hoosiers during the first half. Sophomore guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell and freshman guard Stanford Robinson combined for 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field. With the Hoosiers in a scoring lull midway through the first half, Ferrell and Robinson hit back-to-back banked 3-point shots. IU went 4-of-9 from beyond the arc, while Nebraska went 2-of-8. Nebraska’s Terran Petteway, the Big Ten’s second-leading scorer in Big Ten play, was limited to five points on just four shot attempts in the first half. At halftime, Nebraska Coach Tim Miles took to Twitter to express what he felt his team needed to do to get back into the game. “They banked in those two threes, and we lost our composure and fractured,” he posted on the social media website. “We have to regroup and bounce back in the first five minutes.” Nebraska’s players listened to their coach. After shooting just 34.8 percent from the field in the first half, Nebraska went on a 20-8 scoring run to start the second half. After scoring just 19 points in the first half, Nebraska scored 17 in the second half’s first four minutes and 11 seconds. IU’s first defensive stop came five minutes and 28 seconds into the half. Both teams struggled with turnovers in the first half, yet Nebraska cut down on its giveaways in the second half. The Cornhuskers turned the ball over three times in the second half, while the Hoosiers committed seven turnovers. For the game, the Hoosiers turned the ball over 19 times, the team’s second-most in Big Ten play. As Nebraska and Petteway chipped away at IU’s lead, the Hoosiers were unable to answer.
