IU needs to figure out what to do without its two dismissed players By Andy Wittry awittry@indiana.edu | @andywittry

A 30-word press release sent to the media Thursday evening by an IU men’s basketball spokesman announced the dismissal of sophomore Devin Davis and senior Hanner MosqueraPerea “for not living up to their responsibilities to the program.” Davis’ citation for marijuana possession Monday night, when Mosquera-Perea was also present in the room, was the final straw after a string of drug-and-alcohol related incidents involving IU players

that have spanned the past 16 months. As the program increased the severity of its punishments — ending two players’ IU careers on Thursday — the size of its roster has decreased. Moving forward, the Hoosiers have 11 players on scholarship — two fewer than the limit. IU’s once-crowded frontcourt, which was slotted to have eight forwards or centers competing for playing time in IU Coach Tom Crean’s rotation, is now thinner and less experienced. Mosquera-Perea started 22 games last season and aver-

aged career-highs in minutes, points, rebounds and blocks. Davis sat out last season and redshirted after being struck by a car driven by teammate Emmitt Holt on the morning of Nov. 1, 2014, after moving into the starting lineup for IU’s regular season finale two seasons ago. Davis had his best week of practice the week before the accident, and he could have been a starter last season if healthy, Crean said at IU’s media availability on April 22. Now that two veterans of the program are gone, IU’s threeman freshman class,

Blaze and Kayla sit next to each other under the harsh lights of the Bloomington High School North auditorium. Four psychologists accompany them at the long white table on the stage. It’s not a new experience for them, being around psychologists. With long, shiny hair and bright eyes, Kayla is a beautiful young woman whose height and composure make her seem older than her 16 years. When she speaks, it becomes evident that the unexpected maturity doesn’t stop at her appearance. Blaze has shoulder length black hair and sports black leggings with bones on them that make his legs look like skeletons. He laughs as friends make faces at him, and he waves like royalty. Looking at the 18 year old today, one might never realize he once believed no one wanted him. Added together, these two teenagers have tried to kill themselves 16 times. Sunday, they sat in front of their peers and complete strangers to try and explain why.

especially four-star power forward Thomas Bryant, will have to shoulder a greater load in their first year on campus. With both MosqueraPerea and Bryant, IU could have always had a rim protector on the floor. Instead, Bryant is the team’s lone post option, taller than 6-foot-8 outside of sophomore reserve Tim Priller. While Crean will have more experienced and more versatile frontcourt options at his disposal next season

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater will be hosting Grammy Awardwinning musical artist Shelby Lynne for a concert Wednesday. Lynne is a country and poprock singer-songwriter who has been performing since 1989 and has released 13 studio albums. In 2001, she won the Grammy Award for “Best New Artist.” This show will be a part of her nationwide tour. Lynne will be promoting her 13th full-length album “I Can’t Imagine,” which was released May 5. The album is being distributed by Everso Record Label. According to the BuskirkChumley’s website, her new album’s musical style is described mostly as a West Coast-inspired album, with some influences from Southern soul, Crescent City-influenced rhythm and blues and California country. According to Lynne’s official website, she wrote most of the songs in 2012, and she said most of the inspiration for the album came from when she was strongly influenced about how her life twisted and turned at that time in her life. “I Can’t Imagine” has a tracklist of 10 new songs. It features songs such as “Love Is Strong” and “Be in the Now,” which were all written and composed by Lynne. Raised in Alabama, Lynne learned music was an important part of her family. She appeared on TNN’s country music show “Nashville Now” in 1987 and first

I hope I get a chance to see Lynne perform here this week. It should be a good time.” Ticket pricing ranges from $32.50 to $37.50 and the show will be open to audience members of all ages.

Michael Hendryx, a professor of applied health science at the IU School of Public Health, testified before the House Natural Resources Committee Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources May 14 in Washington, D.C. His testimony opposed HR 1644, which would block the federal government from implementing stream-protection buffer rules and would affect mountaintop coal mining, according to an IU press release. Mountaintop removal mining involves using explosives to loosen rock and dirt above the coal before draglines remove the rock and dirt, the displacement of which affects valleys and streams in the area. Thus, the water covered by the rock and soil carries contaminates including sulfates, metals and other chemicals. “Our research has shown that people who live near mountaintop removal are at higher risk, compared to people living farther away, for a wide set of health problems,” Hendryx said in the release. “We see, for example, that rates of lung cancer are higher in mountaintop removal communities. We have also found higher death rates from heart disease, lung disease and kidney disease.” Hendryx has worked with
