County’s Stage 4.5 stricter than state’s

The Monroe County Health Department issued a new order Thursday in response to Gov. Eric Holcomb’s order to move into Stage 4.5 instead of Stage 5 yesterday.

The county will follow the state’s guidelines of Stage 4.5 except for four deviations. Inside gatherings will be limited to 100 people and outdoor gatherings will be limited to 150 people.

Businesses must post a sign at their main entrance by July 8 requesting customers wear face masks to protect employees, other customers and themselves. They must be at minimum 8 inches by 10 inches, and the county will provide window clings to businesses who want them that read “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Mask, No Service.”

The county also will mandate that bar supplies be protected if restaurants want to offer bar seating to prevent patrons from contaminating them.

Many Stage 4 rules still apply in Stage 4.5, including restaurants being open at 75% capacity, bars, bar seating and nightclubs being open at 50% and retail stores being fully open.

The county is considering stricter regulations such as requiring facial coverings, only allowing table seating at restaurants and restricting indoor seating in general. Health administrator Penny Caudill said in a press conference Thursday that many people will have to collaborate in order for these restrictions to be effective, but they will be discussed in the coming weeks.

“It will take a community effort as everything takes a community effort,” Caudill said.

The county reported a spike in cases Wednesday and a recent increase in hospitalizations of people with COVID-19. Caudill said in the press release the county has seen a correlation between increased testing and cases. She asked the public to keep a “we” mentality moving forward, as cases rise across the country.

“When we limit what we go to that’s large, and when we do go, we’re maintaining that social

Piggy was first found by an officer after she was spotted roaming loose near Bloomington resident Cindy Chavez’s home. Chavez took the pig in temporarily but eventually created a post on Facebook seeking a new home for her.

Lost pig finds home with local couple

By Katharine Khamhaengwong kkhamhae@iu.edu | @katharinegk

A pig found wandering the streets between Bloomington and Ellettsville recently found a home with vegan Bloomington couple Brian O’Quinn and Natalie Levin and their two parrots.

O’Quinn, an electrician, said Levin, an IU medieval history doctoral student, jokingly suggested adopting the pig after seeing a post about it on social media in April.

Shortly after declaring it “totally unrealistic,” they picked up the stillunnamed pig they usually call Pig or Piggy.

Cindy Chavez, a Bloomington resident and the director of Pantry 279, a food pantry in Ellettsville, said she was in the midst of a work call when the Monroe County sheriff 's office contacted her in early April about a loose pig roaming near her home that they thought might be hers. Chavez has two pet pigs that she said are like children to her, and soon her family was receiving calls and Facebook messages from people around the neighborhood asking whether the loose pig was hers.

Chavez said that the sheriffs did

not know how to deal with a loose pig and asked for help, so she went out with two of her daughters and lured it back to their house with the help of Cheerios and apples. It was a long and slow process.

“Picking up a pig is incredibly difficult — they’re very dramatic.

They scream, and they’re incredibly strong,” Chavez said. “If pigs don’t

Once at her house, Chavez’s daughters promptly cleaned and manicured the pig, temporarily naming it Paisley. However, Paisley did not get along with one of Chavez’s own pigs, so Chavez decided she needed to find it a new home. She posted about it on Facebook, where she said the

pig went “semi-viral” and caught Levin’s eye.

O’Quinn said when they first took in the pig, they planned to house her only temporarily, but all of the local pig shelters were full.

They have now had the pig for over two months, and O’Quinn has built her a bed in the basement, installed an underfloor ventilation system to make sure she is breathing clean air and reinforced the door to keep

Neighborhood adapts long-standing tradition Mayor Hamilton likely had coronavirus

By Katharine Khamhaengwong kkhamhae@iu.edu | @katharinegk

Bloomington’s Arden Place neighborhood has had a Fourth of July parade every year since 1962.

The neighbors rallied to keep their tradition alive this year despite the pandemic's obstacles.

Carol Ebeling, a long-time Arden Place resident and retired teacher, said the parade began in the summer of 1962 when a local mother suggested that her bored, middle-school-aged children organize a parade to entertain themselves, and the idea stuck.

Ebeling and her husband Dave have participated in the parade since they moved to the neighborhood in 1976. Ebeling said most years, the parade is held in the evening of July 3, so as not to conflict with the city’s parade, which was canceled this year due to COVID-19.

Typically, the neighborhood parade consists of a fire truck followed by a convertible with various dignitaries, such as the mayor, state legislators or out of town guests. A local tractor with a wagon full of kids is usually close behind as well as a neighborhood dentist who always carries a large American flag and a variety of people on foot or bicycle, wearing costumes and pulling decorated wagons and dogs.

The paraders usually loop around the neighborhood before gathering in one of the larger yards for a cookout or dessert pitch-in, complete with costume contests, a food drive, an MC and musical guests playing the "Star-Spangled Banner."

“Most years there’s almost nobody watching because everybody walks,” Ebeling added.

Bloomington resident Donna Konstanski hands out Fourth of July gifts to children with gloves on during the 58th annual Arden Palace Neighborhood parade July 4 on East Arden Drive. The Konstanskis used a plastic shovel and gloves to give families treats while practicing social distancing during the holiday.

“It’s about as old-fashioned a tradition as you can find anywhere in America.”

This year, the production was more low-key. The fire truck made a loop around the neighborhood followed by a few families on bikes. The tractor made a loop independently, pulling a bunch of kids in the trailer attached to the back like usual. Households decorated the street with pennants and set up tables to pass out items that might normally be handed out from the parade, including water

bottles, candy, glow sticks, rice cakes, Rice Krispies treats and one addition for 2020 — face masks.

Families walked around in red, white and blue outfits, stopping to chat with old friends and to get to know new additions to the neighborhood.

The Ebelings offered a passing child on a bicycle a glow bracelet.

“You already asked me three times, and I said NO!” she yelled back.

Wendy Leutert and Yingtao Guo are among the neighborhood’s

newer residents, having moved in on the last day of 2019.

Leutert, an assistant professor in IU’s Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, said being married to someone who is not an American citizen has made her wary of the symbolism and perceptions that come with displaying the American flag, so she and her husband had decorated with a more generic red, white, and blue banner.

Mayor John Hamilton’s COVID-19 antibody test came back positive Wednesday, indicating that he most likely had the virus, according to a press release Thursday.

“It removed some mystery,” Hamilton said in a Zoom press conference Thursday. “I kind of thought I had it, but I had two tests that came back negative.”

Hamilton experienced flu-like symptoms in April but received two negative results April 18 and 21 after he was tested. His wife and professor at the IU Maurer School of Law, Dawn Johnsen, tested positive for COVID-19 on April 9 and was hospitalized for 10 nights.

The mayor said in the press conference he has felt fine since late April. He said he has been primarily working from home but has done some careful inperson work following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. According to the press release, Hamilton self-quarantined during late March and all of April, including 14 days after recovering from his symptoms.

Because the CDC does not yet know whether past infection means future immunity to COVID-19, the mayor said he is still being cautious in his day-to-day life.

4-H seniors reflect on cancellation of county fair

By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu | @clabgonz

Monroe County 4-H youth are still preparing their animals and stitching together sewing projects to present to judges and bidders. But this year, they’ll present all their projects online.

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the Monroe County Fair will be online this year, as announced in May. The annual fair ties its members and visitors to a 100-year-old tradition, said Katie Frew, 4-H youth development extension educator. It’s an opportunity to show off what the members have created or raised and to compete with people that they have grown up with. The decision to cancel the in-person fair was disappointing, she said, but necessary for safety. In Stage 4.5 of Indiana’s reopening plan, fairs are allowed, but people must be able to socially distance.

“It was a lot of learning as well as hard decisions being made,” Frew said.

“Ultimately, we’re trying to do everything we can to keep everybody safe and healthy so we can get back to it in 2021.”

The decision to go virtual was made by the Monroe County Fair Board and the Monroe County 4-H Board in consultation with

the county government.

Anna Vincel, an eight-year 4-H member and recent Bloomington High School North graduate, sits on the 4-H board as a Junior Leader Club representative. She originally voted for the fair to be in-person this year, but switched her final vote for a virtual fair.

Vincel missed out on many rites of passage that come with being a high school senior, including prom and a typical graduation ceremony, but she also is missing her last summer to compete in a typical 4-H fair.

“With it being my last year, I really wanted it to be in person because I wanted it to be as normal as possible,” Vincel said. “In the end, it was a better decision to make it virtual, despite all my personal feelings for it to be in person.”

4-H has been a major part of Vincel’s life. She has shown pigs, including Archie and Princess in 2019, almost every year through her involvement in Swine Club, she promotes 4-H as a 4-H Ambassador and taught kids through the 4-H Teens as Teachers program.

She was also a counselor at 4-H Camp throughout high school and interned at the Purdue Extension office.

For the virtual fair, Vincel will take video clips of her animal and submit

them to a bidding website.

This year, winning bidders won’t receive the animal.

Instead, the members will decide what to do with them. Vincel will donate the meat from her pig to Saul to Paul, a faith-based men’s rehabilitation program.

This year’s fair is also the last for Isabelle Bartlett, a Bloomington High School South graduate. The 10-year member has completed almost 200 projects, including cooking, tractor driving, gift wrapping, genealogy, photography and showing cats. She’s said she’s proudest of her drawings and sewing projects.

Bartlett said she had a feeling the fair would be canceled.

“I guess there isn’t as much pressure, but it does make me sad that this is how I’m going to end my last year,” Bartlett said.

Bartlett completed 15 projects at her first fair and completed 33 projects two years in a row. This year she took it easy with five, she said, as she pulled a needle through the fabric of a sewing project.

She said she hopes that the online fair won’t deter younger members from sticking with 4-H or from joining. 4-H was where she made her closest friends.

“They’re pretty much my siblings at this point,” Bartlett said. “They’re my

Bartlett is working toward a business degree at Ivy Tech Community College this summer.

Another 10-year member, Brendan Bailey, has shown pigs, cows and lambs and participated in Junior Leaders club. Some of his projects include mixed hay, woodworking and crops.

He said he usually loves hanging out with friends at

the county fair throughout the week and showing his animals, but the decision to cancel the fair was in the community’s best interest.

“I still feel like it was the best and safest thing the Monroe County Fair Board and 4-H Board could’ve done,” Bailey said.

He graduated from Whiteland Community High School and will go to the University of Southern Indiana for mechanical

engineering.

Vincel said even if they voted for an in-person fair, the strict guidelines and rising cases of COVID-19 could have resulted in a last-minute cancellation.

She said committing to an online fair was better than nothing.

“We wanted to have a well put together, planned fair, and that’s what we have,” Vincel said. “So I’m super grateful for everyone.”

First Safe Haven Baby Box installed in Bloomington

By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @DavidWazman

Bloomington’s first Safe Haven Baby Box was recently installed and blessed Wednesday at the Bloomington Fire Station at 300 E. Fourth St. Baby boxes are climatecontrolled, ventilated boxes installed in the walls of hospitals and fire stations where parents can surrender their infants without having to personally pass them over to emergency personnel or provide any identification of themselves.

Under Indiana state law, the infants surrendered to baby boxes have to be no more than 30 days old.

The baby box’s installation was the result of a community effort led by Eric Powell, co-owner of the Funeral Chapel.

Powell was the coroner on call on a day in May 2018 when a 26-week-old baby was found dead and abandoned in an apartment in Bloomington. With his wife LeeAnna Powell, he arranged a burial service for the baby, whom they named Sarah.

Once the Powells learned about Safe Haven baby boxes, they wanted to bring a box to Bloomington

in Sarah’s memory. They contacted Monica Kelsey, founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, Inc., an organization aimed at preventing the illegal abandonment of newborns. A couple from their church, Sherwood Oaks Christian Church, covered the full $10,000 service fee.

Each box is designed with a silent alarm system that notifies emergency personnel when a baby is placed in the box. The door on the outside locks upon closing, and emergency personnel receive the infant from inside the building.

Emergency personnel then bring the infant to the nearest local hospital for examination, after which the infant is passed on to children’s services officials for further adoption procedures.

An infant is usually adopted within 30 days after being surrendered, Kelsey said. Kelsey is a retired firefighter and medic and a pro-life speaker who was abandoned at birth by her mother, a rape survivor.

The box in Bloomington is the 32nd baby box installed in the United States by SHBB. According to its website, eight infants have been safely surrendered to baby

Kelsey said the SHBB National Hotline printed on every baby box has assisted 77 people in surrendering their children through means other than the baby boxes, such as handing their children directly to emergency personnel.

“The boxes are saving babies,” she said.

While all 50 U.S. states have some variation of safe haven laws, only five states, including Indiana, have modified their safe haven laws to include newborn safety devices such as baby boxes. Bloomington Fire Chief Jason Moore said in the past, firefighters would have to personally receive a surrendered child from the parent. Although no identification or contact information would be required from the parent, the process is not fully

anonymous since faceto-face interaction was inevitable.

Moore said the baby box’s installation in Bloomington has been well-received by firefighters because it doesn’t interfere with the firefighters’ other operations, meets their mission of saving lives and is a good use of public space.

“To know that we may not have to go on another call when there’s a dead infant, it’s going to be really good for our morale and our mental health,” Moore said.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic lengthened the process, after two years, the Powells have finally seen the box put in place to help more parents in crisis and provide a chance for their infants to live.

needy emotionally.”

Chavez confirmed this concern, saying that having a pig is a commitment because they bond with their owners, and if they are separated, they sometimes stop eating and die.

Chavez and O’Quinn both noted that the pig was very unhealthy when she was found. Besides being elderly and missing most of her teeth, she was overweight and blind because her fat was blocking her eyes and had mange. She also had two nipples chewed off, evidence that she was used for breeding at some point in the past.

“We had no idea what to expect with this kind of animal,” O’Quinn said. “It’s definitely sucked up a lot of my time and energy, but it’s cool.”

In the beginning, they often asked Chavez and pig community Facebook groups for help because, as O’Quinn noted, much of the information online is aimed at producing pigs for meat, which are killed after less than a year, and not aimed at producing healthy and longliving animals.

O’Quinn said in the early days of owning Piggy, she would try to bite them, testing them as she figured out her place in the herd hierarchy of their household. He also tried to make a harness for her, but said she would go “completely berserk” when they tried to put it on her, so he gave up.

Now, he said, she has learned the boundaries of their yard and spends much of her time sleeping. They feed her mini pig food pellets and kitchen scraps mixed with water so she can eat despite her missing teeth.

O’Quinn said she likes beer, loves bananas and dislikes onions, though she will eat them when there are no other options.

He added that her skin has improved, and she can see a little more than before, but not much. They cannot really tell if she has lost or

distancing and wearing face masks when you can’t maintain distance, that’s a ‘we’ mentality,” Caudill said.

Brian Shockney, IU Health South Central Region president, encouraged people to focus on their mental health this holiday weekend during the press conference. He said IU Health Bloomington Hospital has been seeing more people than usual for anxiety and other mental illnesses. He also warned that health precautions should still be taken despite celebrations.

“As we head into this Fourth of July weekend, I want us to be very mindful of the practices that we need to employ in order to protect each other,” Shockney said.

These measures include maintaining 6 feet of social distance inside and outside, wearing a facial covering when social distancing is not possible, washing hands for 20 seconds and staying home if you are sick.

During the press conference, Caudill also gave a report on the OptumServe testing site located at the National Guard armory on South Walnut Street.

There is no air conditioning onsite, so the site has been closing early daily because of the difficulty of working in personal protective equipment in the heat. The staff tests an average of 80 to 125 people a day, Caudill said. She said the county has looked into getting portable air units for the building, but it would be costly.

Julie Thomas, president of the Monroe County Board of Commissioners, and Mayor John Hamilton emphasized the importance of wearing masks and maintaining social distance to prevent the need for another shutdown, which would further damage the economy.

“It’s supporting our local economy when you wear a face covering because that will help us prevent having to go into another shut down,”

Former IU Athletic Director Fred Glass prepares to give a tour of the new south end zone complex July 25, 2018, at Memorial Stadium. Glass’ final day as athletic director was June 30.

Glass announces scholarships will remain

By Tyler Tachman

In one of his final acts as IU athletic director, Fred Glass offered a sense of stability to Hoosier athletes amid the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic.

Glass, whose final day as athletic director was June 30, sent an email Tuesday to all student-athletes ensuring that their scholarship would remain even if they felt uncomfortable participating in team activities due the threat of contracting coronavirus.

“This is your decision based on medical considerations,” Glass said in an email. “If after discussing your concerns with the Chief Medical Officer you do not want to participate in intercollegiate athletics, we will still honor your scholarship.”

Glass also reiterated the unavoidable safety hazards of coming back to campus and practicing again. Football and men’s and women’s basketball are already in Bloomington for voluntary workouts. He also reminded athletes that precautions such as social distancing, undergoing a “preparticipation” screening and signing

an expectations pledge were put into place to safeguard everyone’s health.

There have been concerns that college athletes are being thrown into dangerous conditions for early season workouts. Clemson University’s football team registered a total of 37 cases, while the University of Texas’ football team recorded 13 positive tests.

While professional athletes have leverage to bargain with their franchise’s executives, college athletes don’t have that same luxury.

With the return of the NBA nearing, Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley is choosing to sit out the remainder of the season to protect the well-being of his son.

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein, whose partner is expecting a child in July, came to a similar conclusion.

On the other hand, college athletes don’t necessarily have a steady income or loaded bank account to fall back on, leaving them more vulnerable to decisions made by university administrators.

In his last day on the job, Glass made an effort to aid athletes once again, promising to come through on

their scholarships through a time of uneasiness.

With the message, Glass’ tenure at IU came to a close. Since his introduction as athletic director in 2009, the Hoosiers have tallied 25 team and 210 individual Big Ten titles. In addition, 46 athletes collected Big Ten Athlete of the Year honors, while 537 were named AllAmericans.

The facilities at IU also improved under Glass. Memorial Stadium underwent a $48 million renovation to institute the Excellence Academy.

Assembly Hall was given $45 million worth of improvements. Wilkinson Hall, a new 3,000-seat facility solely for the wrestling and volleyball programs, was constructed. More recently, the 265-acre Pfau golf course with a driving range and practice area opened June 15.

Off of the field, the IU graduation success rate rose from 77% to 91%.

Glass also introduced the StudentAthlete Bill of Rights, which set guidelines to support a beneficial experience for athletes on and off of the field, and the Sexual Violence Disqualification Policy, which banned athletes that have a

background of sexual violence.

A lengthy list of IU’s current coaches were given an opportunity in Bloomington because of Glass: men’s tennis coach Jeremy Wurtzman, baseball coach Jeff Mercer, football coach Tom Allen, women’s soccer coach Erwin Van Bennekom, volleyball coach Steve Aird, softball coach Shonda Stanton, wrestling coach Angel Escobedo, men’s basketball coach Archie Miller and women’s basketball coach Teri Moren.

A nine minute video including appearances from former players was released Tuesday morning on social media to commemorate Glass’ time with the Hoosiers.

Coaches also went on social media to express their gratitude for their boss.

Escobedo, who is entering his third year as the head wrestling coach for the Hoosiers, shared a special memory of Glass.

Escobedo captured a national championship at IU in his sophomore year and is the program’s only four-time All-American. After Escobedo closed out his collegiate wrestling career in 2010, he received

Competitive eating can be the future of sports Bradley Hohulin is a rising sophomore in marketing.

What does it mean to be an American? This is a question which political scientists have pondered for centuries and which I have thought about for a solid eight minutes. My answer can be quite literally boiled down to two words: hot dogs.

If Francis Scott Key could have seen the future when he penned the poem that later became known as “The Star Spangled Banner,” surely he would have included a line or two about the beauty of mechanically separated pork. After all, what other country would have the gall to press meat trimmings into a pig intestine, slap it on bread and call it a culinary cornerstone?

Thus, the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is the quintessential American celebration.

Each Fourth of July, thousands flock to Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York, for this hallowed event in which men and women devour as many frankfurters as possible within a 10-minute span. It’s only natural that such a display of unfettered gluttony and consumption take place on the anniversary of our nation’s birth.

Even if you’ve never really sunk your teeth into the world of competitive eating, you probably have a pretty clear mental image of it. First, participants deconstruct the hot dog and dunk the bun in a large cup of water in what resembles some unholy, meaty baptism. Then, like an anaconda unhinging its jaw for its monthly meal, competitors swallow the waterlogged dough and lone weiner, occasionally pausing to chew or breathe.

This probably sounds revolting, but that’s only because it absolutely is. Viewing this contest is ultimately an indulgence of morbid curiosity,

a personal letter from Glass.

“It has been incredible to witness your dedication and commitment this year,” Glass said in the typed message. “You leave Indiana University as one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of our program. Your success is a great source of pride to Indiana University.”

Across from his signature, Glass penned a handwritten note: “We are very proud of you!” it read. The “very” was underlined.

Eight years later, Glass hired Escobedo as the head wrestling coach.

Succeeding Glass’ nearly 12-year stretch as athletic director is Scott Dolson, who officially took over July 1. In a time where sports aren’t guaranteed anymore, the Hoosier programs are enduring another shift with Glass’ retirement.

Among the changes, there will be constants: Wurtzman, Mercer, Allen, Van Bennekom, Aird, Stanton, Escobedo, Miller and Moren.

The group will continue into the uncharted fall semester. And as July 1 hits, for the first time, it will be without Glass’ guidance.

Joey Chestnut eats as he attends the men’s hot dog eating contest July 4, 2019, in New York City.

equal to picking at a scab or sucking air through a cavity-riddled molar.

No matter how disgusting or painful, I simply can’t stop myself.

Admittedly, I once held the extremely reductive belief that speed eating was mere spectacle.

Oh, you gorge yourself on processed food until your stomach threatens to burst? Big deal, I do that every time I get stressed out.

However, the deeper I delved into this art form, the more I appreciated the level of dedication required of its practitioners. Forget blood, sweat and tears. Real champions put an ungodly amount of saliva into their craft.

Look no further than Joey “Jaws” Chestnut’s 2018 performance in Brooklyn. Although it was clear that each bratwurst brought worse

agony, Chestnut mustered the willpower to plow through a record 74 hot dogs. You can keep your autographed sneakers and home run baseballs. I just want to put Chestnut’s Invisaligns in a display case above my mantelpiece.

Competitive eating could easily carve out its own niche alongside more expensive and dangerous games like football. Not only does it refrain from riddling its athletes’ brains with chronic neurological defects, but speed eating is extremely accessible to children.

Not everyone has constant access to pads, fields or equipment.

Meanwhile, any kid with a mouth and a little anxiety can binge-eat immense volumes of food in a single sitting.

One of the most overused

cliches in sports is the phrase, “no guts, no glory.” If this is so, who could be more deserving of glory than people whose lower intestines look like Los Angeles’ 405 Freeway during rush hour?

I truly believe there’s something for everyone to enjoy within competitive eating. Even if you’re a vegetarian, I think we can all relate to the animalistic impulse to eat beyond comfort, thus linking us together like one giant sausage rope across the globe.

I realize this sport may never reach the same mass appeal or tradition of football. But this Independence Day, there’s only one pigskin I care about, and it tastes great with a dash of celery salt. bhohulin@iu.edu

The Indianapolis Colts are planning to discuss a partnership with IU after the creation of the Irsay Family Impact Scholarship, which will assist minority students who are in financial need.

“We realize these are difficult and uncomfortable topics to talk about, and they certainly go beyond football,” Colts Owner Jim Irsay said in a press release.

“But as an Indiana business, as a responsible corporate citizen – and as people who truly care about our fellow Hoosiers – we believe that Black lives matter and that we must continue this dialogue and do what we can to inspire positive change.”

The eight-year scholarship program, which was announced June 18, will assist with academic costs from college prep to tuition itself. One eight-grade student will be selected for the scholarship each year.

“They wanted to do something with access to education,” Colts Vice President of Communications Steve Campbell said. “Educational opportunity is one of the biggest barriers for minority youth.”

IU is the alma mater of Irsay’s daughters and fellow owners Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson, leading to its selection for the scholarship.

The organization is hoping to release more details in the coming weeks.

5 former Hoosiers make rosters for 2020 MLB season

By Joy Burton joyburt@iu.edu | @joybur10

With the 2020 Major League Baseball season set to premiere July 23, many MLB teams have announced their initial rosters of up to 60 players over the last few days. So far, five Hoosiers have made the cut, according to a Wednesday press release by IU Athletics.

Former Hoosier and outfielder Kyle Schwarber, the fourth overall draft pick in 2014, is on the roster for the Chicago Cubs. Catcher Josh Phegley, a 2009 firstround draft pick, will join him on the Cubs after being traded this year by the Oakland Athletics.

Outfielder Alex Dickerson, the 2010 Big Ten Player of the Year, made the initial lineup for the San Francisco Giants. Pitcher Kyle Hart, who played for IU until 2016, made the cut for the Boston Red Sox, and pitcher Aaron Slegers, drafted in 2013, joined the

Tampa Bay Rays’ roster.

Many teams still have room for additional players on their initial rosters.

Former IU players Caleb Baragar and Ryan Halstead, both Giants pitchers, can still make the 60-person player pool.

The 60-person player list includes a 40-person roster and a 20-person “taxi squad” to join practices.

Anyone not on the initial roster is not allowed to attend the summer training camp.

An active roster of 30 players will be selected from the initial player pool to start the season.

The 60-person player pool is unique to the 2020 season. In the 2019 season, an active roster contained 25 players, and an expanded roster contained 40 players.

Record 96 IU athletes named distinguished scholars

By Joy Burton joyburt@iu.edu | @joybur10

The Big Ten conference announced 96 IU athletes earned the Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award, beating a previous school record.

Of the honorees, over 20 maintained a GPA of at least 4.0 during the school year, according to a Wednesday press release from IU Athletics.

“This accomplishment speaks to the dedication that our students displayed during a year filled with unforeseen challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” IU athletic director Scott Dolson said in the release.

Distinguished Scholars are required to maintain a GPA of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year. To win the award, athletes must

be a varsity athlete in at least their second academic year.

The Distinguished Scholar Award was created in 2008 in addition to the existing Academic All-Big Ten award.

Academic All-Big Ten honors are awarded to varsity athletes who are in at least their second full year and obtain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. Earlier this year, IU also surpassed its record for the most student-athletes to earn Academic All-Big Ten honors with 121 student athletes earning the recognition.

A complete list of IU Distinguished Scholars is available on the IU Athletics website.

JERRETT’S JUDGEMENTS

It’s time to end the liberal love affair with Ruth Bader Ginsburg Jerrett Alexander (he/him) is a sophomore in international relations and environmental sustainability.

The United States Supreme Court has been praised by many Democrats for its recent decisions regarding LGBTQ discrimination in the workplace, a Louisiana antiabortion law and the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

In all three cases, Chief Justice John Roberts, and, in the LGBTQ discrimination case, Justice Neil Gorsuch, joined with liberal justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer in the majority opinion.

Within the same period, however, the Court also ruled to allow the construction of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline underneath the Appalachian Trail and to allow the Trump administration to speed up the deportation of asylum-seekers. Both these decisions saw all five conservative justices joined

by Breyer and Ginsburg, who is often lionized as the face of the judicial resistance to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Despite what the mugs and tote bags on Etsy might have you believe, Ginsburg isn’t the most dependable liberal vote on the Court, especially when her record is put next to that of the more reliably progressive Sotomayor, and she has made choices and comments during her term that many on the left would find problematic at best. That’s why it’s time to end the liberal love affair with Ruth

COURTESY PHOTO

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg poses for a photo.

Bader Ginsburg.

Ginsburg worked as a lawyer and professor before being appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1980 by former President Jimmy Carter and to the Supreme Court in 1993 by former President Bill Clinton.

She is most famous for her legal work, both on and off the bench, surrounding gender equality and access to abortion, and her more than two decades on the Supreme Court have seen her become a staunch defender of statutes and laws such as the Patient

Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Her particularly fiery dissent in Shelby County v. Holder in 2013, which gutted sections of the Voting Rights Act, inspired Shana Knizhnik, then a law student at New York University, to create a Tumblr blog dedicated to the “Notorious R.B.G.,” which was a name meant to compare the justice to the Notorious B.I.G., a rapper. Since then, Ginsburg has been the subject of books, movies and a huge

assortment of merchandise.

Idolizing a public figure is always going to be inherently unhealthy, but the idolization of a political figure comes with even more risk. While a singer’s political views have the potential to be harmful to their fans, they’re never going to be in a position to influence the law in the way that someone like Ginsburg is on a daily basis.

When the Democratic Party still controlled the White House and Senate in 2014, Ginsburg faced calls to step down from the Court in

order to ensure that she was replaced by another liberal.

Encouraged by her fans, she chose to stay on the Court, which, following the 2016 election of Trump, proved to be a risky calculation. Though her health seems to be fine at the moment, Ginsburg is 87, and she has dealt with both colon and pancreatic cancer, broken ribs and a blocked artery during her years on the Court.

Were Ginsburg to die or fall seriously ill, it could have major effects on the Court’s decision making. Allowing

Trump to appoint another conservative justice has the potential to put access to abortion, the future of DACA recipients and possibly even the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act at risk. Hindsight is 20/20, but Ginsburg still put the fate of her legacy, and major liberal judicial gains, at risk by not retiring when she had the chance.

The justice’s fans would also likely be shocked to learn that her legal disposition toward equal opportunity and protection under the law doesn’t appear to be translated into her own life. As of 2018, Ginsburg had only hired one Black law clerk since joining the Court in 1993. She also called former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protest against police brutality and racial inequality “really dumb” before walking her comments back in an apology.

It is possible to applaud and appreciate Ginsburg’s role in protecting access to abortion, fighting for gender equality and defending voting rights without making her into a largerthan-life figure that evades all criticism. Though you can buy her prayer candle online, she is not a saint, and she isn’t perfect. Pretending otherwise only leads to willful ignorance and future heartbreak.

It’s time to end the liberal love affair with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate her decades of work that has helped move the U.S. forward on so many issues. jerralex@iu.edu

Arts collective voices support of local center

By Kevin Chrisco kmchrisc@iu.edu | @beatsbykevv

Arts Forward Bloomington, a collective of artists, arts organizations and supporters of the arts that

addresses critical topics in the arts community, sent a letter to city officials in support of the John Waldron Arts Center.

In late May it was announced that Ivy Tech was returning ownership of the building to

the city.

The letter, with more than 300 signatures, urges city officials to stand by the historical venue.

“We, the undersigned, write to you today as a

united voice of the arts community, urging the City of Bloomington to secure the future of the historic building at 122 S. Walnut St. and its current function as an arts center, particularly a

performance venue available for public use,” the letter said.

The letter mentions a 2019 study done by the O’Neill School of Public & Environmental Affairs that stated the John Waldron

Center, Cardinal Stage and Buskirk-Chumley Theater account for $4.6 million in total economic impact.

The city has not yet decided the future use of the facility.

COVID-19 Safety Recommendations from the City of Bloomington: upon the reopening of businesses and workplaces, individuals must observe the following precautions:

Share food, drinks, utensils, and office supplies and equipment (such as pens, staplers, and computer keyboards) as little as possible.

Wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds as frequently as possible, or use hand sanitizer when necessary.

Increase ventilation of indoor spaces, by open windows or adjusting air conditioning, as much as possible.

Refrain from shaking hands or engaging in other physical contact with the hands or face of another person.

6 Feet

Maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from other individuals

Cover all coughs and sneezes.

Disinfect frequently used surfaces.

Players also have access to foodat Tobias Nutrition Center at Memorial Stadium for “Grab and Go” services.

“We are receiving guidance and protocols from the best doctors as we continue returning groups of our students to campus,” IU athletic director Scott Dolson said in a release.
