Indiana Limestone Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week and is expected to lay off 166 employees. Headquartered in Oolitic, Ind., about 20 miles south of Bloomington, ILC has been facing layoffs since 2010 when Cleveland-based private equity firm Resilience Capital Partners bought and merged it with Victor Oolitic Stone Company, another southern Indiana limestone company. Local 741 of the Laborers International Union of North America, one of four unions with employees at ILC, used to represent 45 to 50 quarry workers at ILC, but since the sale, that number has decreased to nine. “It’s been going downhill ever since they took over,” Bobby Minton, business manager for the Local 741, said. Layoffs are expected to take place between April 28 and May 11, according to a notice filed Monday with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. “We will try to put them
After a wild first half that saw both teams combine for 101 points, the IU men’s basketball team rode a career-high 30 points from senior wing Will Sheehey to a 93-86 win against the No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes. After Iowa opened up the second half on a 6-2 run, the Hoosiers and Sheehey answered. Graduate student guard Evan Gordon and Sheehey both hit 3-pointers. “Really I was scoring without the ball in my hands,” Sheehey said. After Iowa regained the lead off a Melsahn Basabe layup, making the score 66-64, the Hoosiers came right back. After sophomore guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell’s layup attempt caromed off the rim, freshman forward Devin Davis grabbed the miss and got fouled going up for a shot, earning a 3-point play. On its next possession, sophomore guard SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 8

Campus plan could lighten student debt loads FROM IDS REPORTS
Student debt might get a little lighter if the initiatives outlined in IU’s Strategic Plan come to pass. The plan, released last week, primarily focused on improving students’ awareness of financial aid information. The initiative in the Undergraduate Life section recommends increasing the visibility of scholarship and financial aid information for students. IU’s goal is to create a comprehensive database of all the scholarships available and applicable to students, M.A. Venkataramanan, vice provost for strategic initiatives, said. One of the concepts behind this initiative is to have a pool of funds, predominantly through philanthropic efforts, to further help students financially, he said. In addition to scholarships, the plan also recommends expanding financial literacy programs in place at IU. “We’re expanding upon it to help the students know that you don’t have to borrow that much SEE DEBT, PAGE 8

In IU’s home reopener, the Hoosiers defeated another ranked opponent in Assembly Hall, defeating No. 20 Iowa 93-86. It was the team’s third home victory against a ranked opponent this season and the win keeps the Hoosiers from falling into a five-way tie for last place in the Big Ten. It was the Hoosiers’ greatest offensive outburst since scoring 102 points against Washington on Nov. 21. Ten IU players scored but two wing players were responsible for more than half of the Hoosiers’ points. Senior Will Sheehey and freshman Stanford Robinson recorded 30 and 17 points, respectively, which were career highs for both players. Sheehey said the team’s game plan was to run to the corners and space the floor, opening up the middle of the court. “I think our team from the start was built to run like this,” he said.

‘King Lear’ to premiere at Ruth N. Halls Theatre BY BRANDON COOK brancook@indiana.edu
Actor Henry Woronicz, the king, spoke from a throne imprinted with the inscription “Ex Nihilo,” or “out of nothing,” as the attention of the onstage cast moved to him. In the first minutes of the IU theater department’s Monday night dress rehearsal of Shakespeare’s “King Lear,” nothing was everywhere. “Nothing will come of nothing,” the king says in the first act, in a scene that prompts his future tragedy. The concept of nothing is one of the central themes in the theater department’s production of “King Lear, ” which premieres at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Ruth N. Halls Theatre. The word inspired director Fontaine Syer’s adaptation of the play. “It’s a really important theme for Fontaine,” said senior Sasha Belle Neufeld, who is majoring in theater and drama and plays Cordelia in the production. “You have to look at life in this existentialist manner — life is here, and then it’s gone. It’s nothing.” Neufeld’s character, one of the king’s three daughters, makes an appearance in the text only when she is banished in the first act and killed in the fourth. “I get to relax in the middle,” Neufeld said. “But it is really difficult. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do backstage to keep
me focused and to keep me in the show.” “King Lear” was written during the time of Shakespeare’s quartet of tragedies, which includes “Hamlet,” “Othello” and “Macbeth.” It tells the story of an aging despot who splits his kingdom among his daughters, provided they declare how much they love him first. Cordelia, Lear’s most beloved daughter, answers his question with the word “nothing.” “Actions speak louder than words,” Neufeld said. “That’s how Cordelia represents nothing in this play. She believes the love that she showed him should be enough for him to understand.” The furious king deposes his daughter and sets in motion the tragic events leading up to his overthrow, insanity and death. Nevertheless, Neufeld views the king as more pitiable than detestable. “Lear is senile,” she said. “When Lear chooses to banish her ... it’s not him. It’s this illness that’s taken over him. But I think Cordelia fights that because she wants to hope that he’ll come back to her, that he’ll overcome this terrible thing.” The idea of redemption also figures heavily into Shakespeare’s play. “We can find no other word than renewal,” wrote the Shakespearean scholar Lionel Knights. Even so, early critics of “King

Lear” thought the writer was too harsh with the tragic death of Lear and Cordelia, agreeing with the late historical Shakespeare critic Samuel Johnson, who remarked he was so shocked by Cordelia’s death he avoided rereading the play for years. Complaints such as these resulted in a radically altered version of the play by Nahum Tate that kept Lear and Cordelia alive. This adaptation was performed for nearly two centuries. However, Syer’s production would suggest nothing of this optimistic rendition. The play features costumes in the drab, gothic colors of a party of

A member of the design team described it as epic and crumbling. “But to the characters, that’s just their world,” cast member and IU doctoral student Eric Heaps said. “There is this falling apart. It’s coming apart. Nothing is coming from nothing.” SEE LEAR, PAGE 8

NEW CASTLE, Ind. — The custodian watched the final shot arc toward the basket. As the buzzer rang and the crowd stood to leave, Frank McMahon headed for a storage closet across the huge gym. “All right,” he said. “Now the fun begins.” Frank is tall, built like a baseball pitcher, with white Nikes and a green New Castle Trojans ballcap. He arrived late in the first period, but it wasn’t a problem. Frank’s not on the clock until the end of the game. He, along with four students who help, are in charge of cleaning the world’s largest high school gym after every game. The five largest high school gyms in the country are in Indiana, but the New Castle Fieldhouse reigns king with seating for 9,325 fans when auxiliary bleachers are pulled out. Three years ago, the
Meet the man who cleans the world’s largest high school gym.
Anderson High School Indians closed their 8,996-seat Wigwam to save $550,000 on utilities and personnel. The Wigwam used to pack a full house. So did the New Castle Fieldhouse. But lately, high school basketball hasn’t had the draw it once did. Games against big rivals like Anderson would fill the Fieldhouse years ago. Only 1,337 fans showed up in the game against the Indians last week. For Frank, fewer visitors means less trash at the end of the game. “Oh, this is nothing,” he said laughing. “This is gravy right here.” While the rest of the crew cleaned the stands — first by hand for the popcorn boxes, nacho boats and pop bottles, then with gaspowered leaf blowers for the popcorn kernels, ticket stubs and dust — Frank mopped up a few small spills on the track that rings the Fieldhouse. “Best part is you get a good view of it all,” he said, pausing for a moment, leaning on the mop. “I could walk these stands in my dreams.”
TOP The New Castle High School Trojans play the Anderson High School Indians at the New Castle Fieldhouse, the world’s largest high school gym. The gym has a seating capacity of more than 9,000, but only 1,337 showed up for the game against Anderson last Friday. BOTTOM Frank McMahon shuts off the lights in the New Castle Fieldhouse after cleaning the 9,325-seat gym. McMahon is in charge of cleaning the gym — the world’s largest — after every game.
Frank grew up following his father, an MLB relief pitcher, wherever he was playing that summer. Frank made his way to Indiana about 20 years ago at the urging of a friend. Today, he works in the cafeteria for the schools in New Castle, is a part-time pitching coach and remodels houses on the side. “I work in the food service job, and that pays just about squat,” he said. “I took this to make some extra money while I could still coach baseball. That was over nine years ago. You just sort of stay.” After about an hour and a half, the Fieldhouse was clean. Frank loaded up piles of trash bags into the bed of his pickup truck and filled almost two dumpsters full. Once their job was done, the crew pulled out a basketball. Alone in the world’s largest high school gym, they took turns making shots, the bounce of the ball echoing off the hardwood bleachers. “It seems like nothing new, now that I’ve been here awhile,” he said. “But it’s still pretty cool that it’s the biggest.”

When the stars from last year left the team, everybody knew IU probably wouldn’t be hanging another banner. But fans did expect this to be a mid-tier, scrappy and hardnosed Big Ten team. Last night was the preseason vision coming to fruition. Even though IU (16-12, 6-9) probably aren’t going dancing come March, a 93-86 victory over No. 20 Iowa (19-9, 8-7) sure tasted sweet to Hoosier Nation. Charles Barkley has a theory that I subscribe to. He says at home, you can almost expect your role players to flourish and do well. But on the road, that’s when the stars have to step up. The lack of a third and fourth banana has plagued this team all year. Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell and Noah Vonleh have been magnificent all season. Vonleh has lived up to the hype and is destined to make a lot of money in the NBA. Ferrell has stepped up and proven he can be a legitimate No. 1 option. But beyond that, it’s been slim pickings. The lack of depth has hurt IU this year. Ferrell and Vonleh have carried too much of the burden. So if the dynamic duo doesn’t play well, the Hoosiers have little to no shot at winning. Well, except for last night. While Ferrell and Vonleh combined for just 12 points on 3-of-7 shooting, senior Will Sheehey and freshman Stan Robinson both had career highs. Sheehey poured in 30 points on 12-of-20 shooting while Robinson was 5-of-6 from the field for 17 points. Even more impressive for Robinson was his effectiveness at the line. He was 7-for-10 after coming into the game shooting a woeful 51

percent from the charity stripe. To be effective as a slasher and have confidence in his own shot, Robinson desperately needs to improve free throw shooting. And at least for last night, he did. Whether you prefer #Sheebinson or #Robinhey — personally I prefer #Robinhey, but #Sheebinson is solid as well — there’s no doubt the combination of the senior and the freshman willed IU to victory. Role players needed to step up this entire season. And tonight they did. It might be too little too late for this season, but next season the role players need to make last night a regular thing. IU has the talent, and last night it showed how dangerous it can be once the talent plays up to their potential. Robinson is a freshman. Hollowell, who has actually been playing terrific the last couple games, is a sophomore. Ferrell is a sophomore. Vonleh is a freshman, but could be making millions next year playing in the NBA. Besides the potential loss of Vonleh and the graduations of Sheehey and Evan Gordon, this could be one of the most talented teams in the conference next season. As a Cubs fan, I have a certain motto that I’ve adopted not by choice, but necessity for my own sanity. Most of the time it’s said with tongue and cheek, but for IU fans this could really be the truth if certain pieces fall into place. Just wait until next year. ehoopfer@indiana.edu @EvanHoopfer

Mexico has come a long way since the days when its unspeakable violence was all it was known for. Under President Felipe Calderon, Mexico launched its War On Drugs. Conservative estimates place the toll at the very least 60,000 lives. Drug-related violence unfortunately took center stage of Mexico’s agenda during most of the 2000s, evaporating its potential as Latin America’s powerhouse and turning attention to Brazil instead. But with the election of President Enrique Peña Nieto, Mexico has refocused its attention on its economy and revitalizing its damaged reputation. The Mexican president has pushed enough ambitious reform packages through Mexico’s legislature to make even President Barack Obama jealous. Some of these reforms include a complete overhaul to Mexico’s archaic education system, where some teachers could sell and trade their teaching positions to anyone, regardless of their actual education level. Another major reform has been the country’s proposed tax overhaul. Sixty percent of Mexicans work in the informal sector, meaning they work jobs that don’t really exist on paper and, more importantly, can’t be taxed. Some of these include street vendors, rural farmers, servants, small businesses — such as restaurants and small convenience stores — run in many Mexicans’ own homes and a myriad of other under-the-table paid work. The key part in the tax overhaul is that in exchange for formalizing and being able tax this income, the government has promised social security and a social safety that is currently almost nonexistent. This is momentous, considering Mexico is a country where children in rags roam the streets and some of the most poor live in aluminum huts. The most dramatic of the Mexican president’s reforms is the opening of Mexico’s state-owned oil monopoly, which has caught the attention of American investors. This proposal has been the most controversial, given that a Mexican holiday commemorates the nationalization of the oil industry, and petroleum itself is considered a national treasure. Currently, oil revenues make up 33 percent of Mexico’s budget. But pouring foreign investment into the decrepit oil monopoly has the potential to increase revenues and provide more cash to modernize the developing nation. Even though Mexico still faces major challenges like staggering inequality, rampant corruption and security that has only marginally improved — though this week the most wanted drug lord in the country was captured — Mexico’s changing narrative should send the message that the country is getting its act together. As a proud Mexican– American, I’m hopeful that Mexico, which has so often been looked at it with disdain and concern by the United States, is on the path to being a 21st century state. edsalas@indiana.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY ALDEA SULLIVAN | IDS
WE SAY: America is ready for a female president, just not Bachmann. In an attempt to become politically relevant again, Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., said recently that Americans simply “aren’t ready” to have a female president. Bachmann went on to detail a plethora of reasons why Americans should not vote for Hillary Clinton for president in particular, claiming that Clinton would “effectively ... be Obama’s third and fourth term in office.” Upon reading this, the Editorial Board acknowledges Michelle Bachmann is a troll. She obviously said Americans aren’t ready to have a female president to outrage everyone in the liberal media, and perhaps she doesn’t even actually mean it. Then again, it’s Michelle Bachmann. Let us not forget that Bachmann in 2012 had her own presidential aspirations, which didn’t last long.
Perhaps she is using this new line of argument to make herself feel better about having crashed and burned miserably on the road to the White House in 2012. Regardless of Bachmann’s intentions, her argument might be silly and trivial on the surface, but it reflects something more politically sinister. She essentially is arguing against the election of Hillary Clinton in 2016, because Hillary Clinton is a woman. A logical argument against Clinton for president is a substantive one that leaves out her gender entirely. Hillary Clinton’s being a woman has nothing to do with her policies and how she would perform as the commander in chief. Still, Bachmann chose to attack Clinton’s gender instead of her ideology, a cheap political shot. The innocuous, misogynistic idea that Americans “aren’t
ready” for women to be in positions of power implies that women are incapable of doing a job simply based on the fact that they are women. The Editorial Board fully rejects this notion. There are more than enough qualified and skilled women to work in just as many positions of power as men in government and in the private sector. In fact, several countries around the world already have female heads of state, including Denmark, Thailand, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Liberia, Bangladesh, Iceland, Costa Rica, Finland, Lithuania and Trinidad and Tobago. To claim Americans are “not ready” for a female president, while the citizens of all of the aforementioned countries are, is ludicrous. This argument empowers bigots who are against women holding positions simply because they are women. It
enforces the status quo with a seemingly innocent excuse for America’s lack of progress, and it perpetuates stereotypes about women being less capable of leading than men. It is likely that Bachmann did not think through her comments. Surely she does not wish to be boxed in with all other women as being unfit to lead simply based on her gender. Bachmann should find healthier ways to vent her frustration about her own failed presidential campaign that don’t include undermining the abilities of every woman in America. Just because Americans weren’t “ready” for Michelle Bachmann to be president in 2012 doesn’t mean Americans aren’t ready for a woman to be president in 2016. opinion@idsnews.com

Recent critics deem studies and conversations about sexuality inappropriate and unnecessary. Even members of the Opinion staff call the discussion of such material anywhere in public “disgusting,” regardless of intention. However, these are the exact stigmas and harmful conceptions that I and thousands of others who study sexuality are trying to combat. Shutting up about sex spreads the idea that sex, even when present in a simple discussion, is vulgar and sickening. This is incredibly damaging. It not only stigmatizes the action, but also those who engage in it — which feeds into
a repressive societal model and the double standard that people, especially women, shouldn’t be allowed to discuss such things. Similarly, silence about sex allows misinformation to propagate, leading to gaps in knowledge that could leave someone vulnerable. I believe we all have a larger ethical duty to continue talking about human sexuality and directly educating others about the topic. Sex is a near-universal experience. Regardless of race, religion or creed sexual intimacy — or at least experiencing or discovering your own sexuality — is a trial of basic human experience. Learning about such experiences in a college environment, even in the most basic gender studies course, can lend to a higher understanding of valuable constants of the human condition — more so than, say, calculus. It is incredibly useful to
study sexuality through a historical lens. Not only is it fascinating, it allows us to better understand our past and the cultural environment in which certain ideas were fostered. Many of today’s attitudes about sex can be traced back for hundreds of years, and their sources are almost always illuminating. Additionally, the study of sex in college is vital because it can fill the holes left by inadequate sex education in high school. Outside of the basic mechanics, knowledge concerning human sexuality such as information about drives, desires, genders — yes, there are many — and pornography. Studying these is valuable because of both the increase in knowledge about the biological aspects of sex, as well as the gained understanding of the multitude of various sexualities our peers identify with. In fact, a study conducted by
MARISSA CARANNA is a senior majoring in English.
Terry F. Pettijohn found that students who study sexuality become far more understanding and tolerant of others’ sexuality, reducing associations with shame or guilt. Similarly, knowledge can increase the capacity for pleasure during encounters. Before the Kinsey Report in 1953, many people viewed women as asexual creatures, and knowledge of the female orgasm was slim to none. With that being said, it’s fine to be conservative. But please, don’t tell us to shut up about sex. Because as Salt-n-Pepa note, “That ain’t gonna stop it.” mcaranna@indiana.edu @marissa_caranna

Every time I’ve trudged to the Student Recreational Services Center for a workout this week, I’ve been greeted and cheered by signs declaring “Celebrate EveryBODY.” Celebrate EveryBODY Week fights back against a must-achieve-a-beachbody mentality with gigantic posters, encouraging messages scrawled on mirrors, and colorful little reminders to “be-you-tiful” posted on every machine. But that’s just what troubles me. “Be-you-tiful.” As I walked past all the phrases and quotes painted on the mirrors, I couldn’t help but notice that nearly all of them included vocabulary like “beautiful” or “gorgeous.” It’s no secret that those who battle insecurity regarding weight and body image are overwhelmingly women — more than 90 percent — but the almost complete absence of messages geared toward men speaks to a different issue entirely. If we keep negative body image a women’s issue, it will not only exacerbate the problem for women, but limit support and availability of resources for men who battle the same damaging mentality. Of course, the SRSC’s oversight is one in a million examples of gendered selfempowerment campaigns. A quick visit to the WeightWatchers website shows women joyfully swinging in the sunset or running through the waves, exalting in their new bodies. Seventy-five percent of the customers featured on the “success stories” page are women. Their celebrity spokeswomen include Jennifer Hudson, Jessica Simpson and Jenny McCarthy, but there’s not a man in sight. The media spreads two dangerous body-image messages every day. The first is that worrying about one’s weight is for women, and the second is that it’s a totally acceptable part of female culture. The high prevalence and normalization of physical insecurity among women in America needs no reinforcement, considering we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of “Mean Girls” this week. But what about the guys? They comprise only 10 percent of those who struggle with eating disorders, but even 0.1 percent would be a statistic worthy of attention. Despite many shortcomings, our generation will usher in a new era of more open-mindedness and acceptance. We need to make sure that everyone is welcome on that bandwagon. I applaud the SRSC’s campaign to end self-criticism and encourage us all to appraise our reflections with a little more kindness and love. There are not nearly enough organizations today who attempt to promote that message without promoting a product or agenda alongside it. Let’s just remember to truly celebrate every body by removing the gendered stigmas of self-image battles and promoting the kind of fellowship that allows us to love ourselves and each other for who we are. sbkissel@indiana.edu @QueSarahSarah_

Heaps plays the Earl of Gloucester, who banishes his loyal son Edgar in an act of rage, trusting to the support of characters who later overthrow Gloucester and gouge out his eyes. “It’s apparent that I go from a lot to nothing,” Heaps said. “The set design itself becomes nothing as it goes along. Pieces keep flying out.” The downward spiral of events that the men endure, such as Lear’s madness and Gloucester’s eye gouging, have been taken to graphic extremes in other productions In 2007, “Lord of the Rings” actor Ian McKellen stripped nude during an 18 month-long production of the play to better illustrate Lear’s madness. Heaps, recounting Syer’s many experiences of seeing “Lear” performed, said a realistic and extreme eye-gouging scene would not convey the effect she wanted for her own production. “She thought of this idea of focusing on the emotional experience,” Heaps said. “You’re getting the emotion because you know what’s happening.” Emotional effect is something the cast said they take very personally. “Lear breaks my heart every time I see him,” Heaps said. “I want the audience to experience his journey — to be dragged through the mud with him. I just hope they feel something.” The last words of the play are Edgar’s, and they are used to illustrate the passing of age as well as the attempt to reconcile the future by enduring hardship. “You have to bear these woes in order to come back up,” Heaps said. “We that are young shall never see so much nor live so old,” Edgar’s lines finish the play. In one of the upper lefthand theater seats, Syer looked down with approval. The theme of the play had revolved around nothing and negativity, but her tone of voice was approving. “I think we’re in great shape,” she said.
somewhere else,” Minton said of the employees he represents. He said because quarry workers have such specialized skills though, it could be difficult to train them in another field. ILC officials hired investment bankers who have reached out to more than 100 potential purchasers, according to Dow Jones. The purpose of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing is to reorganize the company’s liabilities. The process requires a vote by creditors and approval by a bankruptcy judge. In typical cases a business will continue to operate through court deliberations. The company’s estimated assets and liabilities are between $50 million and $100 million, according to the filing. During the last century, the ILC cut the stone for dozens of national icons and landmarks including the Empire State Building, the Pentagon and the Indiana War Memorial in Indianapolis along with many IU buildings and dormitories. It was estimated that 67 percent of all building stone shipped throughout the U.S. came from Monroe and Lawrence counties in 1930, according to an ILC brochure. ILC is also known for owning the quarry in Monroe County that was included in 1979’s “Breaking Away.” ILC did not return calls for comment by the time of publication.
Jonny Marlin swung an outlet pass to Gordon, who, with his left hand, tossed a fading layup over Iowa’s 7-foot center Adam Woodbury to extend IU’s lead to 69-66. After two Aaron White free throws, Sheehey broke his career high in points with a baseline jumper to give the Hoosiers a 71-68 edge. Freshman guard Stanford Robinson scored a career-high 17 points on 5-for-6 shooting. With the Hoosiers leading 74-69, Robinson drove baseline and hoisted up a shot before being knocked down by Iowa’s Melsahn Basabe. The shot went in and Robinson made the foul shot, one of seven he made on the night. Robinson said the Hoosiers were able to match the Hawkeyes’ fastpaced style. “We finally said ‘let’s play our game,’” he said. “They’re a good running team, and we decided to run back with ‘em.” As IU began to pull away from the Hawkeyes, it was Sheehey who capped off the Hoosiers’ win — its third win against a ranked opponent in Assembly Hall this season. After grabbing a rebound, Ferrell threw an outlet pass to Sheehey, who had gotten past the Iowa defense. Sheehey caught the ball

Before the game, Sheehey was honored for scoring 1,000 career points, which he did Feb. 15 at Purdue. IU Coach Tom Crean said it was ironic Sheehey scored his career-high in points the same night he was honored. “What an unbelievably ironic thing to have his career high the night he is honored for his thousandth point,” Crean said. Sheehey finished the game 13-for-20 from the field. He scored 19 points in the first half, and he also compiled four rebounds and three assists. Sheehey’s efforts came on a night when IU’s most consistent players this season, Ferrell and freshman forward Noah Vonleh, were not at their best. Ferrell finished with eight points on 2-for-6 shooting, and Vonleh added just four points, making his first basket with a minute to play. Crean said that Thursday, Sheehey played like the Sheehey of old times. “I would say that he is playing like the Will Sheehey that everybody has come to know, love and respect,” Crean said. “We need his leadership, we need his courage, we need Will to be Will.”

The Plan also included initiatives to increase financial aid and a potential new scholarship. “When we chatted with students, at times the students felt that there weren’t enough scholarships throughout their four years in addition to when they’re coming in as a freshman,” he said. A potential four-year Provost Scholarship was outlined in the plan.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The senior could have passed for a wide receiver Thursday night, consistently beating Iowa’s transition defense down the court. He said the key to his offensive success was his teammates finding him in transition. Sophomore point guard Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell threw multiple overhead passes to an open Sheehey and Robinson found him on back cuts. “I was scoring without the ball in my hands,” Sheehey said, adding that IU was built to run like they did against Iowa. He got off to a hot start for the second consecutive game, scoring six of the team’s first eight points. He scored IU’s first seven points against Wisconsin but was held scoreless for the final 37 minutes in Madison, Wis., Tuesday. The senior didn’t let up against Iowa. He nearly matched his previous career-high in the first half, recording 19 points. Crean said Sheehey was fantastic against Iowa. “What an unbelievably ironic thing for him to have his career high on the night in which he was honored for his 1,000th career point,” he said. “I thought he was going for 2,000 tonight.” The pace of play in the first half could have given the scoreboard operator carpel tunnel as the teams combined for 101 points.

IU MEN’S BASKETBALL (16-12) vs. No. 22 Ohio State (22-7) 4 p.m., March 2, Assembly Hall The fast-paced nature of the game caused both teams to take advantage of their depth. “We knew it was going to be a game where depth was key because of how good Iowa’s depth is,” Crean said. Thirteen Hoosiers saw action Thursday and IU recorded a season-high 42 bench points. Robinson said Crean frequently tells his players that they never know when their time will come. The freshman guard said IU is better when it is able to utilize its athletes in transition, Hoosier fans shouldn’t expect an encore of Thursday’s game, which may have been mistaken for a track meet or a highflying Cirque de Soleil performance. Points will be hard to come by when the Hoosiers play host to No. 22 Ohio State Sunday. It would be an understatement to say the Buckeyes play stingy defense. Ohio State has the third-best adjusted defense in the country, according to kenpom.com. “Obviously there are teams in this league who have no interest in having any kind of pace,” Crean said.

Various sources of funding are being looked into, he said. “So the Provost’s scholar goal is to take the students from both professional schools and the College of Arts and Sciences to leave this place with additional credentials so they become life-long learners as well as have fulfilling careers,” Venkataramanan said.

The invisible woman
After a battle with alcohol that nearly took her life and almost all she held dear, Judy Stall, 59, arrived in Bloomington seeking a way back to a normal life.
BY MATTHEW GLOWICKI | mglowick@indiana.edu | @mattglo
Judy Stall came to Bloomington a year and a half ago, brought to her knees by an addiction to alcohol. Each day she works her program, unnoticed by most. It was humbling, cleaning other people’s messes. She pushed her cart down the halls of the Bloomington Courtyard Marriott, running through her mental checklist. In every room, she made the beds, changed the towels and checked to make sure the Bible was still in the dresser drawer. In her old life, before the state took away her nursing license, Judy Stall had been entrusted with the care of veterans and post-surgical patients. Now she scrubbed toilets. At 57, she was starting from nothing. Years of drinking had robbed her of herself. Home, nursing career, husband, two sons — all lost to the disease. With no friends, no family and few possessions to her name, she was working back toward some kind of life. This is the way it has to be, she told herself. At least for now. Sometimes, when she cleaned up after guests who had left behind empty bottles of wine or liquor, the clinking of the bottles in her cart would taunt her. Other days, she would walk into a room and find unopened bottles of beer. Heineken had always been her weakness, and in these moments, she would debate whether she should take the unopened bottles. They’re too good to waste, she thought. I could just stick them in my sack and find someone to give them to.
That was when Stall would close her eyes and pray. If she could steady herself and resist the temptation for 15 minutes, the urges would pass. With her checklist, she found order. Room by room, she was making things right. *

The addictions of the moment — heroin, methamphetamine and prescription painkillers — currently hold the nation’s attention . Yet alcohol remains the most abused drug in the United States. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, more than 17 million Americans suffer from alcoholism or exhibit harmful drinking habits. In many ways, Judy Stall’s story is familiar. But in Bloomington, a college town that celebrates youth and excess drinking, she is almost invisible. Stall came to Bloomington in July 2012 after spending nine months behind bars at the Hancock County Jail. She had already lost her family and had been convicted several times of DUI. Her recovery began inside a muted yellow house that sits just off the B-Line trail downtown. The Amethyst Women’s House, a not-for-profit halfway house, helps women recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. SEE JUDY, PAGE 16

Students talk diversity, discuss problems, solutions BY DANI CASTONZO dcastonz@indiana.com @Dani_Castonzo
Ice cream might have helped cool discussion of a hot topic Thursday. The Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center and the IU Student Association sponsored the Ice Cream Social and Justice Issues event in the Neal-Marshall Grand Hall for audience members to discuss issues like minority profiling, diversity admission rates and affirmative action. Students disagreed on who should take responsibility for IU’s failure to hit their goal of doubling the number of minority students on campus. Opinions differed over whether it was the school’s responsibility, or minority students’ responsibility, to recruit students of different races. “I don’t think IU is failing,” senior Noelle Gipson said, who is involved in different recruitment groups on campus. “I think the part where the issue comes about is there’s not enough minority students going out to recruit. As a minority student, we’re not doing enough to go out and recruit students that look like us.” Three students took the microphone to express their discomfort with being a minority student at IU. One law student said she was one of 12 black students in her law class of 250. “It makes the environment very hostile sometimes,” she said. “I would never reach out to an incoming black law student and tell

them to come. I would never recruit because it has been horrible so far.” Another audience member asked why IU allowed TRAD Youth to continue as a school-sponsored organization on campus if they supported racism and anti-gay sentiments. “Right now, from the administration, we are tied to this legal framework that a state institution has to abide by,” said Steve Veldkamp, assistant dean of students and director of Student Life and Learning. “It doesn’t mean we have to like it.” Members of the panel of experts sitting at the front of the room said there has been discussion within the administration about editing the policies to eliminate hate speech on campus or making all University-sponsored organizations sign an antidiscrimination agreement. “One of the positive outcomes of this negativity is the fact that more things like this are occurring on campus,” Veldkamp said.
The student participants and panelists agreed that the best response, as of now, was to fight hate speech with more positive messages. “We need to drown out their messages with our positive messages,” said Brandon Washington, a member of predominantly black fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi. Discussion ended on the acknowledgement that, despite the perception that racism is no longer prevalent in modern society, race is still an issue on the IU campus and in general society. Dr. Sylvia Martinez, an associate professor from the School of Education, stressed the importance of classes on more diverse subjects in college. She referred to K-12 curriculum as “vanilla,” because it left out a lot of history on minority groups. “It’s everyone’s history,” Martinez said. “Everyone had a part of it, whether you were the oppressor or the oppressed.”
Participants discuss sustainability issues during the second annual Student Sustainability Summit on Thursday in Union Street Center.
Students, faculty discuss sustainability BY SUZANNE GROSSMAN spgrossm@indiana.edu @suzannepaige6
In the spirit of sustainability, students dined with glass plates and goblets and composted their leftovers at the Second Annual Student Sustainability Summit. The event took place Thursday night at Union Street Auditorium and was sponsored by the IU Office of Sustainability and the Student Sustainability Council. “The event is to, one, bring students together who are working on sustainability issues in different realms on campus,” said Sarah Baulac, education and research intern at the Office of Sustainability and first year graduate student. “And, second, we want to show our faculty and staff counterparts how much support there is from students for sustainability initiatives.” Baulac said these are issues she said she deeply cares about. “I think sustainability is anchored in what people do and how we treat each other,” Baulac said. “I think it’s in everyone’s best interest and for our future to talk about sustainability.”
Compared to past summits, this one was considered especially pressing because of the Provost’s new Campus Strategic Plan, Baulac said. “As we’re moving into a new year with a new Strategic Plan this is our time to show how important sustainability is,” Baulac said. “This is our chance to shape the future of campus as it relates to sustainability.” The event included guest speakers Jeff White, professor of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs; Michael Hamburger, the cochair of the campus sustainability advisory board; and Bill Brown, the director of sustainability. White announced a new degree in environmental and sustainability studies that was just approved by the Commission of Higher Education Wednesday. This degree will allow for middle ground between the two degrees in environmental affairs that already exist, a B.S. in environmental science and a B.S. in environmental affairs, he said. The first is more science based, while the second is more management based. The new degree will focus
more on the combination of arts, humanities and science of sustainability, White said. After the speakers, students broke out into small roundtable discussions to discuss sustainability issues of all sorts with those on campus currently who are working on them. The break out topics included energy and the environment, computing sustainability, environmental quality and land use, food, resource use and recycling and transportation. Groups discussed work in progress and what students wanted done in the future. “It’s such a wonderful event because students learn about campus and we learn about what students care about,” Brown said. With the Office of Sustainability’s five-year anniversary coming up this Saturday, Baulac said she has big hopes for the future. “I’d like to see sustainability happen in more degree programs,” Baulac said. “I think its important students incorporate sustainability into their education and it would be great for it to be as common as English or writing.”

Oriental Grocery owner arrested FROM IDS REPORTS Indiana State Excise Police arrested a Bloomington store owner for several drug and alcohol charges Wednesday. Excise police are a division of the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission, which enforces all Indiana laws related to alcohol and tobacco sales. Liling Jia, 60, owner of Obo’s Oriental Grocery Store at 2556 E. Third St., was arrested as a result of an investigation started in January stemming from an anonymous complaint. On Feb. 4, excise police searched the store with a warrant. They found various brands of untaxed liquor, cigarettes and various medicines, all manufactured in China, according to ISEP. Jia had a tobacco certificate but was not licensed to sell alcohol or medication. “The illegal sale of alcoholic beverages, especially
those that are not manufactured in this country, pose a significant risk to the health and well-being of Indiana citizens,” ISEP Superintendent Matt Strittmatter said. “It also makes their accessibility to minors more prevalent.” Jia faces preliminary charges of unlawful sale of a prescription drug, a class D felony; maintaining a common nuisance for prescription drug, a class D felony; maintaining a common nuisance: alcohol, a class D felony; sale of alcoholic beverage without a permit, a class B misdemeanor; sale of untaxed alcoholic beverages, a class C misdemeanor and sale of cigarettes without an Indiana tax stamp, a class C misdemeanor. Jia was released Wednesday at 2:54 p.m. after posting $5,000 surety and $500 cash bond.

Bill requires drug tests for some benefit recipients FROM IDS REPORTS A bill passed in the Senate Appropriations Committee yesterday that would require drug testing for some recipients of and applicants for state benefits. House Bill 1351 would obligate the Office of the Secretary of Family and Social Services Administration “to administer a drug-testing program for individuals who have been convicted of a controlled substance offense” if the person is receiving or is applying to receive benefits from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families fund. People would also be required to submit to drug tests if they are receiving or applying for benefits on the behalf of a child.
The version of the bill that passed in the Senate panel yesterday was revised from what the authors originally had hoped for. The bill was last amended Feb. 20. A 2011 report from the Office of Human Services Policy, a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said most estimates put the rate of substance abuse problems among welfare recipients at around 5 to 10 percent, a few percentage points higher than numbers found for the general population. These rates include only illicit drugs. Alcohol abuse tends to be more of a problem among welfare recipients, the report said. M.K. Wildeman
House removes religious discrimination provision FROM IDS REPORTS The Indiana House of Representatives almost considered a provision that would allow certain state contractors to discriminate based on religion in their hiring practices earlier this week. An amendment tacked onto an unrelated tax bill said contracts between the state and religious groups could be written without requirements to consider all applicants and employees equally in hiring and conditions of employment, regardless of religion. This would have applied to “any school, educational, or charitable religious institution owned or conducted by or affiliated with a church or religious institution,” according to the Indiana Code. The language was inserted into Senate Bill 367 in the House Ways and Means Committee by Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, who also authored the amendment banning same-sex marriage in Indiana, House Joint Resolution 3. He said such contracts are currently allowed by federal law. “What we were trying to do in working with the attorney general’s office is mirror
federal law to allow these faithbased institutions to continue these contracts with the state,” Turner said Tuesday, according to the Indianapolis Star. “I never intended this amendment to be anything more than that.” He could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Though the Ways and Means Committee passed the amended bill and sent it on to the full House, Speaker Bryan Bosma, R-Indianapolis, sent it back to the committee for further debate. In a debate Tuesday, the committee removed the amendment, returning the bill to its original form. SB 367 sets sunset dates on a variety of state tax credit programs, which bill authors hope will force the General Assembly to review them in 2016 and 2017, make improvements and reauthorize them, Sen. Brandt Hershman, RWheatfield, said last week. The bill, without the religious discrimination amendment, should be heard and voted on by the full House in the coming weeks. The General Assembly has until March 14 to consider all legislation before session ends.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana organized the 25th Bowl for Kids’ Sake, their largest annual fundraising event, Wednesday and Thursday at the Indiana Memorial Union Back Alley. “For our IU segment of the campaign, we had a goal of raising $10,000 and we actually ended up raising over $15,000,” said Hannah Combs, president of the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization on campus. The bowling event is the day the fundraisers and bowling teams celebrate the end of the fundraising process, Combs said. “The money we raise for Bowl for Kids’ Sake is how we put a volunteer, a big, and youth, a little, together,”
said Mark Voland, program director for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Combs said it typically costs $1,000 per pairing of a big and little. “All that money goes right back into the community and giving those kids mentors they need in their lives,” she said. Big Brothers Big Sisters provides a one-to-one mentorship program between a member of the community and a child in the community who needs a role model to guide them down the right path, Combs said. “Children are enrolled in the program and matched, basically, with a friend,” she said. “Someone who usually has good values they can instill in the child.” Bowl for Kids’ Sake also has a community event for the local business and organizations who gave

donations, Voland said. “We have our student group on campus and that is called Big Brothers Big Sisters at Indiana University and their mission is to put IU Bowl for Kids’ Sake together,” Voland said. “They start in September, and they recruit other organizations to participate and raise money and they do a lot of kinds of little events in between.” Combs said that in addition to the cash donations, participants in Bowl for Kids’ Sake have a website they can use to accept online donations. Raffle tickets are sold during some fundraising events. “We couldn’t do this without Indiana University students on all levels,” Voland said. “They really help us in fundraising and, most of all, they are our backbone of
being big brothers and big sisters.” Through the program, Voland said volunteers help the children by introducing them to a new sport or hobby, or possibly even encouraging them to pursue higher education. “All our bigs get more from this experience than their littles do, and that’s what we want — because if a volunteer is getting more from the experience than the child, then that means it’s working and that means that child is really having fun,” Voland said. He said the volunteers work to make a connection with the children and change their lives. “Those connections, in terms of bigs creating opportunities for these littles, is what’s so rewarding,” Voland said.

Cardinal’s ‘Pippi’ to open Saturday
American food in Paris cures homesickness
BY ALISON GRAHAM akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218
A hamburger and fries from a Paris McDonald’s. Parisians forego the shoestrings for seasoned wedges.
After being immersed in French culture for a month, I am really starting to miss the United States. It doesn’t help that across the street from the market is a McDonald’s. I have repeatedly stopped myself from walking in because of a promise I made myself to try to not eat American food while here. I ended up breaking my promise this week. I know homesickness is starting to kick in at my school. Our student affairs coordinator once reprimanded us not only for speaking in English, but also for craving macaroni and cheese. “You’re in France, why are you craving mac and cheese?” she said, before heading back to her office. Don’t get me wrong. I love France and my life here at the Institute for the Inter-
national Education of Students. However, I miss feeling completely at ease in my culture and language competency. American food is my way of creating a sense of comfort and familiarity. Julia Schrank, an annual Institute for the International Education of Students Abroad participant, said she feels the same way — though she has been here a full semester more than I have. She said she felt homesick a week into the program. What gave her a sense of home was an unexpected box of Raisinets. Schrank said the candies were an afterthought. Her mother threw them into a care package at random. “At first, I wondered why, since I have never really been crazy about them, but as soon as I opened them for
a study snack, I felt so much more at home,” she said. Care packages are one way to stave off homesickness, but I wasn’t sure how to create one on my own. Fortunately, I realized during my time here that America is trendy, and this can be seen in the numerous American foods accessible to homesick expats. Out of American foods available here in France, the most easily accessible is fast food. McDonald’s has a big presence within the American and French communities. I walked into one this week for two reasons. I missed America, and I was highly curious to see if the French version of a cheeseburger and fries would make up for it. There is something about the initial smell of fried food that makes me feel at home.
Cardinal Stage Company may introduce a new generation to the imagination and wonder of “Pippi Longstocking” with its premiere of the show Saturday at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center. “Pippi Longstocking” is a musical theater production based on a series of books by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. The series follows a young red-haired girl as she teaches her friends the value of creativity and imagination. “She was a breakthrough female character when there wasn’t a lot of them,” director Randy White said. “She is a character that is about living life to the fullest and challenging rules.” White said parents tell him they are excited to introduce their kids, especially daughters, to a character like Pippi. Seventeen different performances are scheduled from March 1 to 16. “In today’s day and age where kids get pulled into computers or phones, it’s important to go back to that idea of being able to find the simplest of objects and just play,” choreographer Diane Buzzell said. “It brings kids back to a simpler time.” To get kids to attend the production, Cardinal Stage Company underwrites about 50-80 percent of the cost of tickets so that schools can bring students during the day. In addition, about 600 to 800 tickets are donated to service organi-

I remember when I first felt the homesickness kick in. I was close to a falafel stand, and the oily smell had my head turning. I specifically remember turning in circles, like a dog when it chases its tail, trying to find where the smell came from. Once I bit into my McDonald’s burger, supposedly the best-tasting and easiest American food to find here, I found my place in the world again. Feeling homesickness is feeling as if you don’t belong, not that you want to go home. I miss feeling cohesive, and as much as I hate to say it, the French-ified burger filled in the gaps. audperki@indiana.edu
PIPPI LONGSTOCKING 10 a.m., March 1 Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center zations that can’t otherwise afford to bring children. Because of this, White estimated more than 1,000 kids will see the show. Once the kids are at the production, the hardest part is keeping their attention, he said. “Kids are sore audiences,” White said. “They will tell you if something is not working for them. You have to keep them engaged at all times, or you will lose them. And when you lose them, you can rarely get them back.” For the choreography, Buzzell said it’s all about keeping it simple. “It has to be very clear, the story you are trying to tell,” she said. “It’s not necessarily easier to do, it just has to be simpler.” Much of the movements Buzzell created have to do with making Pippi look out of control and carefree but keeping it as natural as possible. Despite the challenges, Cardinal Stage Company sees the immense benefits theater has for children, Buzzell said. “I think that live theater for children broadens their horizons,” Buzzell said. “It helps them see the world from a different seat in the stadium of life. Having as many experiences of different characters as possible only helps them grow as human beings.”

Students tired of going to the gym can don leg warmers and work out with Denise Austin and Jane Fonda instead. From 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. today at the Fuller Projects, students can participate in a workout event designed to mix popular exercise tapes from the past with current, updated routines. IU graduate students Katie Jacobs, Cristinia Weaver and Nathan Perry organized “The Now! Body,” a complete body fitness workshop, as part of IU’s Celebrate EveryBODY Week to spread positive messages about body image. The event, located in McCalla School at the corner of 10th Street and Indiana Avenue, is free of charge. Created by Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts
students in 2002, the Fuller Projects is an exhibit venue on campus where students can present experimental works. The full workout session will consist of ab work, strength core, cardio, weights and more. “Anyone and everyone can come get a good workout and have loads of fun in the process,” Jacobs said. The event will include 40 minutes of workout tapes from the 1980s, 40 minutes from the 1990s and 40 minutes from the 2000s with a warm-up and a cool down for each decade. It will include famous routines by Denise Austin and her “Buns of Steel” tape and Jane Fonda workouts. The event was inspired by Jillian Michaels’ workout routines, which made a significant difference in the students’ lives, they said. “I had a personal trainer before, and I actually weigh
less now than I did with the training because of the workouts,” Perry said. The Jillian Michaels workouts served as an inspiration to Perry, Jacobs and Weaver as they began to look forward to working out regularly, they said. “We participate in the workouts on a weekly basis,” Jacobs said. “The routines were fun and we believed in the promises of the results.” The three graduate students are artists and said they feel that some people, artists in particular, don’t find enough time to workout or exercise as they should. Jacobs is a ceramist and both Weaver and Perry are painters. The organizers said they created the Now! Body workout to keep their bodies in shape and to encourage others to pay attention to their own bodies. “We created this event in
celebration of the body, and we want others to have fun with it,” Weaver said. Perry said attendees do not need to stay for the entire event, though he encourages they do so. Limited T-shirts for those without a workout shirt and drinks will be provided. A raffle will be drawn for a free NOW! BODY T-shirt later next week. The event is entitled Now! Body because of the instant gratification one feels after a workout, they said. “Working out is almost like a form of mindfulness and being in the moment,” Jacobs said. Old-school exercise attire is encouraged, which can include tights and leg warmers for ladies and sweatshirts and headbands for men, Weaver said. “The more ridiculous the outfit, the better,” Jacobs said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Amethyst House Executive Director Mark DeLong said Bloomington is atypical compared to other Indiana towns in its number of social support resources. From substance abuse to housing to employment services, Bloomington is a Mecca for those in need of a hand up. Stall had her pick of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to attend. There are about 50 AA/Narcotics Anonymous meetings each week in Bloomington. “You need to start from day one thinking what your life’s going to look like,” DeLong said. “Where are you going to live? How are you going to reconnect with your children? There’s so much on the table to figure out.” When Stall arrived, she joined more than a dozen other women trying, like her, to reclaim their lives. The Amethyst program keeps the women in the home for at least six months, but many stay longer, some up to two years. For Stall, structure was key. Chores and curfews. Her job at the Marriott, her evenings in AA meetings and intensive outpatient therapy sessions. No deviations. She knew her program. She knew her triggers. She understood the fragility of her recovery. Each day was a test. Her nursing license remained folded in her wallet — worthless until she could get off probation. Before her jail term, she had cared for patients for more than 20 years, employed at a number of hospitals. She also traveled across the state as an agency nurse, a freelancer moving from hospital to hospital and working with pediatrics to geriatrics. The job paid well, but the money supported her addiction. Her responsibility for her patients fed a God-like sense of power. “Kryptonite couldn’t bring me down,” she said. Before the addiction took over, Stall says, she had two grown sons from her first marriage, both IU graduates, and a loving new husband. They lived in Zionsville, Ind. She had struggled with alcohol for years, particularly after the death of her father, but felt like she was in control when she remarried in 1999. She told herself she could handle it, but soon she was bingeing. The marriage lasted until 2006, when her second husband could take no more and left. The divorce kicked off a sixyear spiral into oblivion. “I tried to kill myself,” she says, stretching out her arms to show the thin white slashes that covered her wrists. When that didn’t work, she tried overdosing. Twice. “I hated myself.” She hoped for death. There were days that slipped away, lost to a booze-soaked sleep. Sometimes when she awoke, she was sad to still be breathing. She had racked up multiple DUIs and lost her driver’s license. Almost nine months in the Hancock County Jail broke her down to her most basic needs. She can still remember the chill of the mattress and the threadbare sheets. The wail-

ing of other inmates filled her ears as she attempted to sleep each night. When Stall was released, not a single family member was waiting to welcome her back. Her adult sons, Tom and Mike, were embarrassed and hurt and fed up with her. They had largely cut off contact. She last heard from her younger son, Mike, in an email laced with foul language. She kept a print-out and would sometimes read it to remind her of the pain she had caused her children.
“[Relapse is] always a possibility, because I’m an alcoholic. I’d love to sit here and say to you I’ll never do that again. I can’t say that.” Judy Stall, recovering alcoholic
Even now, when she walks through town, she sometimes makes eye contact with college students and sees younger versions of her sons looking back. “The memories start flooding and I’ll start to cry,” she said. She can’t afford to linger on these feelings. She doesn’t know when she’ll see her boys again. But if she doesn’t stay sober, they’ll never allow her near them. *

Stall’s six-month anniversary in Amethyst was Feb. 7, 2013. Though she graduated from the program that day, she wasn’t ready to leave. She reupped for three more months. “I want to get grounded before I make that move because I don’t trust myself,” Stall said. “I’m a little nervous about being alone.” Support was plentiful, but true understanding was harder to find in the house, which was populated mostly by younger women whose perspectives on recovery were
different. Stall’s one good friend in the program was 52-year-old Janeta Kimball. Kimball noticed how much Stall had changed from the broken woman who had arrived six months before. “She was weary in her spirit. She was weary physically,” Kimball said. “Now because she can see the personal achievements she’s made, there’s a brightness to her. There’s a lightness in her spirit.” That February, Stall talked about how much she wanted to return to nursing. Her plan was to eventually ask the state board to reinstate her license. In three months, she said, she would see whether she felt strong enough to leave Amethyst. Maybe she would get a dog and settle into an apartment. “I don’t belong any place else,” she said. All of her plans depended on her avoiding a relapse. “That’s always a possibility, because I’m an alcoholic,” she said. “I’d love to sit here and say to you I’ll never do that again. I can’t say that.” Someday, she said, her boys would see the change in her. Maybe they would forgive her. She fantasized about picking them up, going for lunch, whatever they wanted to do. She would ask them about their lives. The day would end with them telling her they loved her. “That would be my perfect day,” she said. “And then I could die.” *
*
*
One day that winter, a family emergency briefly brought Stall and her older son together. Stall’s brother went into the hospital with severe pneumonia, and she feared the worst. She was at the hospital ready to tell him goodbye when her son, Tom, walked in the door. She glanced over her shoulder and saw him, standing just feet away. Almost a year and a half of silence separated mother and son. It filled the room. Her brother had told her Tom would come. But now he was here. Her boy was before her. “I was just drinking him
at Hobby Lobby. She wanted to keep busy. She was eager to repay a cousin and brother who had funded an inpatient recovery program years ago, before she served her nine months in Hancock County. She did not work on Sundays, preferring to reserve that day for reflection. She would wake and attend an AA meeting, then head to St. Charles Catholic Church for mass and confession. As she approaches her 60th birthday this September, she is yet again recalibrating. She no longer aspires to reenter the nursing field that would frown upon her record. Earning back her driver’s license is a new goal, though insurance costs with her background would be hard to swallow, she said. She adopted a little black dog, a 9-year-old Papillon, from the pound. She named her Bella. Stall debated replacing the tiles in her kitchen and fixing the showerhead in the bathroom. She wanted the place to feel like home — her home, her way. Order. *
Stall’s faith has been instrumental in her recovery. She starts each morning with quiet prayer and clears her Sundays to spend many hours in dedication at church.
in,” she recalls. “I kept staring at him.” Her stare broke when their eyes met, and she realized he was uncomfortable. He was icy and reserved. But she saw it as a start. Stall offered to take Tom back to see his ailing uncle. He accepted. “How’s it going?” she remembers asking. Tom turned the question back to her. “How are you doing?” he said. “Are you being good?” “It’s coming up on a year I’ve been sober.” “Are you taking your medications and everything?” “Like a big girl.” They reached the door of the uncle’s room. “Can I have a hug?” she asked. Begrudgingly, he allowed it. His body was tight, tense. She knew to not linger. Before entering the room, visitors were required to put on medical gowns. Tom pulled the sleeves up his arms, grabbed the string straps and attempted to tie them behind his neck. Stall motioned to help him tie. “I can do it,” he said. Flashes of a determined toddler trying to tie his shoe filled Stall’s eyes. “Me do it, me do it” echoed in her head. She fought back the lump in her throat. Tom continued to fumble with the straps. “Here, I can help you,” she said, then waited. “Go ahead,” Tom said. She slowly tied the knot. This is my son, she thought, looking at the back of his head.
My son. *
*
*
Tom’s 38th birthday was two months later, early that March. Stall decided to risk a call. At that point, she says, her sons still avoided her. Tom wouldn’t tell her where he lived or share his cell number. But he had given the number to his grandmother. Stall dialed it, and Tom answered. “It’s mom,” she said. “I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.” “How’d you get my number?” “My mother gave it to me.” “Goodbye.” Click. *
*
*
Spring 2013 passed in a flurry of AA meetings and therapy sessions. Stall got a promotion at the Marriott to a better-paying job as a server in the hotel’s breakfast area. She took a part-time job at the Dollar Tree, working the register. That May, she finally felt ready to leave Amethyst. She moved into an apartment at Woodland Springs, a no-frills housing complex on Bloomington’s southwest side. She placed a figurine of the Virgin Mary on the sill of her living room window. She still wore a rosary around her neck. More months went by, and she settled into a new routine. Around Thanksgiving, she took a third job, this one
*
*
Today, she passes Amethyst every weekday morning on her way to work at the Marriott. Every time, she says a prayer. Of gratitude for what the house did for her. Of strength for the women still inside. She prays, too, for the women who succumbed to their drinking. “I could have been one of those numbers,” Stall says. “You’re forgotten and your disease says, ‘Yes, I got another one.’” She hasn’t seen her son Mike in two years and hasn’t seen Tom since that day at the hospital. She understands why. “I realize that I hurt those boys, and this probably serves me right,” she says one evening this month, sitting on her sofa. “But still ...” She pauses. “ ... it’s still hard to take.” Crying, she takes another moment to collect herself. “I’ve caused them nothing but grief and they don’t want someone like me in their life. And that’s OK. That’s OK.” She is coming to understand that she might never talk with them again. If she does get the chance to be near them, she’ll know not to push. She would like to see them, even from a distance. If she can look at them, she says, she’ll at least be able to tell if they’re happy. “That’s all I need to know.” Tom’s 39th birthday is this Monday, March 3. She knows not to call him again. She plans to contact him through their father. Her ex-husband will allow her to email a message that he’ll pass on to Tom. She’s not sure what she’ll write. She’ll likely keep it simple. Maybe just “Happy birthday, Mom.” She doesn’t know if she should risk closing with the word “love.” On Monday, she’ll decide. She’ll hit send, then wait. This story was reported intermittently since September 2012.
