IU Parking tests new license technology

The last case, page 9

BOILER DOWN

By Jessica Prucha jprucha@iu.edu | @jess_prucha

IU Parking started a 12-month pilot to test License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology on campus.

The technology functions such as a barcode scanner, said Amanda Turnipseed, IU director of parking operations.

Cameras use the technology to scan license plates with permits electronically linked to them.

During this pilot period, a truck with cameras installed will drive around campus to verify that vehicles have registered permits for their zone.

“The camera on the truck is looking at the license plate as a parking officer would look at a physical hangtag in the window,” Turnipseed said.

Turnipseed said that IU parking will not administer any tickets from the LPR technology during the pilot. Parking enforcement officers will continue monitoring parking as usual.

IU Parking is also installing cameras in the Poplars garage and the lower level of the Jordan Avenue garage to inform users of available parking spots.

Turnipseed said there are many advantages to using the technol-

UC Santa Barbara upsets No. 5-seed IU

By Jared Kelly Jaakelly@iu.edu | @Jared_Kelly7

Heartbreak and pandemonium erupted at Bill Armstrong Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but it wasn’t IU men’s soccer doing the celebrating.

After playing a scoreless 100 minutes against the University of California, Santa Barbara, all it took was a single miscue from IU’s defense in the 102nd minute that allowed the Gauchos’ Will Baynham to bury home the game-winner and advance them to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.

It also halted IU’s 38-match home unbeaten streak dead in its tracks.

“It just wasn’t our day,” IU sophomore defender Jack Maher said. “It hurts; it’s going to hurt for years to come. But we’re going to grow from it.

I can guarantee that.”

With the November weather conditions ushering in sub-40 degree temperatures and a steady mix of rain and snow, both teams had a tough time adapting their play styles.

Not only did IU have trouble executing its offense with the gusting winds, it also made for a slick playing surface that eventually cost it the match.

A handful of Hoosiers lost their footing at crucial moments throughout the rain-soaked day, but none bigger than IU redshirt senior defender Jordan Kleyn’s mishap in double overtime.

At the 101:20 mark, Kleyn, acting as IU’s last line of defense, set himself up just outside IU’s own 20-yard box.

A free ball barreled toward Kleyn, but as he planted his foot to clear the ball, he slipped on the wet turf beneath him and broke open the floodgates for imminent disaster.

James had just 148 rushing yards the whole season entering the game. At halftime — the freshman had 89 yards and a touchdown to his name on just 15 carries.

“We all knew he (James) could do that from the jump, he just needed his opportunity” junior receiver Whop Philyor said. “He got his opportunity — he just ran with it.”

Philyor also turned in a muchneeded offensive performance for the Hoosiers, adding two touchdowns and racking up over 100 receiving yards for the fourth time this season.

IU fends off late Purdue comeback in double-overtime win

By William Coleman

SEE PARKING, PAGE 8

West Lafayette, Ind. — As IU head coach Tom Allen yelled “LEO” into the camera following his on field interview, junior wide receiver Whop Philyor jumped on his back for a piggyback ride towards the corner of the field as IU football celebrated its 44-41 victory over Purdue with the Old Oaken Bucket alongside the Hoosier faithful who came to cheer them on.

A week ago, Philyor walked off the field in jacket and sweatpants — after not playing against Michigan due to a concussion — itching to get back on the field against rival Purdue and bring the Old Oaken Bucket back to Bloomington.

“It felt great being out there with my guys,” Philyor said. “That’s why we practice every day of every week, to play with each other. I’m just happy to play with my boys.

Actually, I’m honored to play with my boys.”

In a cold and rainy game that limited the passing attack at times, IU relied on Philyor out on the field as he consistently made big plays for the Hoosiers with his speed and agility.

West Lafayette, Ind. — Nobody knows how difficult it is to beat Purdue more than IU head coach Tom Allen.

In 2017 and 2018, Allen’s first two seasons as head coach, the Hoosiers fell short in the Old Oaken Bucket game to drop to 5-7 and miss out on a bowl game.

It took three missed field goals from a near-perfect fifth-year kicker, two overtimes and the denial of a multi-score comeback, but Allen can finally say he beat Purdue in an Old Oaken Bucket game.

“It’s always a tough one against Purdue,” Allen said. “I wanted this so bad for our university, for our alumni, for all the people that support us and invested in this program.”

Overcome with emotion following the 44-41 win in double overtime, Allen thanked IU Presi-

ALEX DERYN | IDS

44-41 dent Michael McRobbie and athletic director Fred Glass for “taking a chance” on him. With a bowl win, Allen would match Bo McMillin’s program record 19 wins in a head coach’s first three seasons.

“I work my tail off to help everyone be successful here, but I’m not guaranteed anything,” Allen said.

The Hoosiers jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first half and didn’t look back. Even when Purdue started applying pressure on defense and pushing the ball down the field on offense, IU stuck to its game plan on both sides of the ball.

Sophomore running back Stevie Scott was inactive with a lower-leg injury, so it was freshman Sampson James’ turn to take the lead snaps out of the backfield for the Hoosiers.

‘Batman’ producer to offer two classes

By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu

The early 1970s was a time of great experimentation on college campuses. Fittingly, the College of Arts and Sciences at IU offered an experimental curriculum department. Through it, students could present ideas for an original course with department support from the dean and other professors for final approval.

Michael Uslan, a junior at the time, wanted to teach a course on comic books. He called it: “The Comic Book in Society.” After being approved for credit, Uslan taught the world’s first accredited college course on comic books at Foster Quad in the spring of 1971.

Nearly 50 years later, Uslan is coming back to IU as a professor of practice to teach two three-week courses at the Media School called “Live from Los Angeles–Pros Make Movies” and “The Business of Producing Motion Pictures” for the Spring 2020 semester.

Both classes are three weeks long, four hours a day, on Friday, Saturday and Sundays from late January to early February.

“I bring current experience of

working in the trenches every single day in this Hollywood jungle,” Uslan said.

Uslan is the executive producer of the “Batman” and “Dark Knight” franchise. In 1979, he bought the rights to Batman from DC Comics, later producing “Batman” starring Michael Keaton and directed by Tim Burton in 1989.

These courses, in many ways, will simulate the Hollywood ex-

perience for those seeking jobs in the film industry, which is evolving at a rapid pace.

In the “Live from L.A.” course, students will hear one-hour lectures from Hollywood professionals, followed by intensive Q&A sessions with representatives from each stage of the movie-making process.

Uslan will invite 33 different speakers, including entertainment attorneys, agents, managers, studio vice

presidents, network executives and casting agents to speak to students.

In the past, Uslan has invited the likes of Mark Hamill, famous for playing Luke Skywalker; Tony Bancroft, director of Disney’s 1998 “Mulan” and Andrea Romano, voice caster and director for “Batman: The Animated Series.”

In “Business of Producing Motion Pictures,” students will gain skills meant to increase their employability. These include pitching skills, protection of self and of original ideas and an understanding of Hollywood as a business that goes beyond the textbook.

“Whether you’re a writer, director, composer, producer, actor or cinematographer, you’ve got to understand that this is show business,” Uslan said. “Half show, half business.”

Students will learn how to pitch projects and how to gain financing for each stage of the process. They will also learn how to get jobs and internships, for which Uslan emphasized the importance of punctuality and appropriate dress. To put their skills into practice, students will pitch their projects to a simuSEE USLAN, PAGE 8

Health Advocacy Summit helps connect patients

Bloomington best in state for LGBTQ inclusiveness

By Mel Fronczek mfroncze@iu.edu | @MelissaFronczek

The City of Bloomington earned a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign 2019 Municipal Equality Index, which measures LGBTQ inclusiveness, for the fifth year in a row.

The MEI score is based on five categories: non-discrimination laws, the city as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement and leadership on LGBTQ equality. Bloomington also was recognized as an MEI All-Star, awarded to cities with a score above 85 points, despite its location in a state lacking strong pro-equality laws.

Bloomington was the highest-scoring city in Indiana with 100 points. Ranked second in the state was Indianapolis with 89 points.

Third was West Lafayette with 85 points.

“I think the score demonstrates to the public that Bloomington is making sincere and ongoing efforts to be welcoming to all,” said Barbara McKinney, director of the City of Bloomington

Human Rights Commission, in an email to the Indiana Daily Student.

The Bloomington Human Rights Commission’s main role, McKinney said, is to enforce the Bloomington Human Rights Ordinance. The ordinance protects people from discrimination in public accommodations, housing, employment or education based a variety of traits, of which gender identity and sexual orientation are included.

Doug Bauder is the director of the IU LGBTQ+ Culture Center and used to be a member of the commission.

He said Bloomington’s nondiscrimination ordinance is especially important because Indiana has limited statewide protections from discrimination against LGBTQ people.

“Bloomington is one of several cities in Indiana that has established that much for the community,” Bauder said.

Brandi Wampler, who runs the Facebook page LGBTQ+ Indiana, moved to Bloomington about a year and a half ago from a rural

area of Monroe County. As a pansexual trans woman, she said she knew she had to move to Bloomington to feel safe and supported.

“I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else,” Wampler, 37, said.

Wampler used to live in Ellettsville, and she said people there are very conservative.

“They have more churches than they do gas stations,” she said.

One day, Wampler said, someone keyed the side of her car, wrote the word “fag” on it and left a note on the windshield advising her to attend a church in Ellettsville.

Wampler said she wasn’t aware of many incidents targeting LGBTQ people in Bloomington. She said the Bloomington Police Department is sensitive to the community’s needs. At this year’s Pridefest, BPD officers patrolled the outside of the festival and didn’t enter upon request. Wampler said this was because a significant number of LGBTQ people feel uncomfortable with law enforcement.

Many businesses in Bloomington are LGBTQinclusive spaces, Wampler said, and that makes her feel more comfortable. The availability of gender-neutral bathrooms is one way many businesses accommodate LGBTQ people, she said.

“When you gotta go, you gotta go,” Wampler said.

“You shouldn’t feel unsafe when you gotta do it.”

When Wampler first came out, she said friends, family members and co-workers abandoned her. But she found support in Bloomington through support groups and health professionals.

She began hormone therapy and changed her legal name.

Bauder said Bloomington’s MEI score is worth celebrating, and he loves living here, but there’s always more progress to be made, especially at a national level.

He cited President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military.

“On a national level, we’re losing ground,” Bauder said. “But in Bloomington, not at all.”

Science center curates living museum

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

Students and staff from the IU Center for Underwater Science are putting the finishing touches on its fourth Living Museum in the Sea. Living museums allow for people to interact with history and artifacts that are centuries old.

The museum, in the waters of the Dominican Republic, focuses on shipwrecks from the area from the 16th to 18th centuries.

This museum features replica cannons and plaques from shipwrecks as well as more than 1,000 ceramic pieces, said Tori Galloway, guest lecturer with the Department of Kinesiology and IU alumni.

The site in the Dominican Republic is the the first IU Living Museum outside of the United States. Other sites are located in Florida and California. In the Dominican Republic, the program is creating an industry that generates sustainable museums that document the 16th through 18th centuries or the “golden age of pirates,” said Professor Charles Beeker, director of the Center for Underwater Science.

One of the largest aspects of IU’s research in the Dominican is into the activities and travels of Captain Kidd. Treasure hunters and researchers have sought Kidd’s vessel, the Quedagh Merchant, alike since its disappearance in 1699.

In 2007, the Dominican Republic’s Oficina Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural Subacuático contacted IU when a mass of cannons was found, and the center

took over the underwater excavations. The Quedagh Merchant, discovered off the coast of Catalina Island, is the only academically studied pirate ship in the Carribbean, Beeker said.

The IU living museums were made possible by the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1988. This act made it easier for governments and companies to curate shipwrecks. The model allows for the protection of shipwrecks from looters and creates tourism opportunities.

“These museums are alternatives to treasure hunters looting sites like these,” Beeker said. “Instead of looters selling the treasure once, we can sell it forever.”

Visitors to the museum can enjoy an underwater diving experience in order to see original and replicated shipwreck artifacts. People may also visit an above

ground museum to see other protected shipwreck artifacts. These artifacts are protected from treasure hunters so that they may be preserved for the future, Beeker said.

“It’s a maritime museum that you can interact with,” Beeker said, “It’s not a stuffy place where you can’t touch or get close to anything. We want to see this open to everyone.”

The research and artifact conservation for the Living Museum in the Dominican has been in the works since at least 1996 and involved the cooperation of several partners.

The museum was curated in partnership with the Environment, Culture and Tourism Ministries of the Dominican Republic and the Dominican Navy, said Galloway.

The team will continue to travel to Santo Domingo

over the next several weeks in preparation for the dedication ceremony of the museum, located in the Colonial City of Santo Domingo, a neighborhood named a World Heritage site in the city.

The center is already planning for future projects and research. One major project in the works is the search for missing ships from Columbus’ second voyage, when several of his ships reportedly sunk outside the bay of La Isabela.

The center’s search for these ships and curation of the museums are focusing on the academic, environmental and tourism benefits they will provide to IU, the Dominican Republic and tourists from across the world, Beeker said.

“We have a saying down here,” Beeker said. “’Take only pictures, and leave only bubbles.”

When senior Sneha Dave was six years old, she was diagnosed with a chronic illness that led to countless surgeries and hospital stays over the next decade of her life.

The diagnosis: ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic ulcers on the large intestine. Dave’s illness made her life difficult and even caused four years of near isolation during middle school and high school, until her final major surgery when her large intestine was removed.

After facing these challenges, Dave created a nonprofit during her freshman year at IU that would soon grow to service seven states, connecting young adults who have had similar experiences with chronic and rare diseases.

The nonprofit, Health Advocacy Summit, offers free day-long events that provide educational sessions for young adults to help them transition from pediatric to adult medical care, an area Dave said is currently lacking in the medical world.

“My original intention was just to do the summits to connect people, but there’s a bigger systematic need in terms of transitional services,” Dave said. “There’s a higher rate of death for certain diseases because patients have medical nonadherence, they have breaks in follow-up visits with their doctors, they have to navigate insurance.”

Dave said the organization has grown rapidly over the past three years, gaining nonprofit status, organizing events in seven different states. They are also piloting a year-long program, the Crohn’s and Colitis Young Adults Network, that connects adolescents who face similar chronic illnesses.

Deanna Hedges, logistic director of the Indiana summit and IU junior, attended the summit as a patient before joining the staff. She said the events provide a sense of community that can be difficult to find among patients with invisible chronic diseases.

“It’s just not a good feeling when other people who don’t know what you’ve gone through are trying to tell you, ‘You haven’t tried this, you need to try this,’” Hedges said. “When it’s other people who are just like you who are experiencing the same thing, who have actually done things that have worked for them, it’s not a bad feeling, it’s an inspiring feeling because you’re working together to try to help each other.”

Katelynn Moore, assistant director of the Indiana summit and senior, said she was unaware that she could have made her own medical journey easier until she attended a summit through this organization.

“I had problems with insurance or medications in the past, and I didn’t really think I had any control over it,” Moore said. “That was really interesting for me to know that there was something I could do.”

Dave said the summits educate attendees about the complexities of healthcare.

Sessions cover topics such

as navigating school systems or the work place, understanding healthcare topics such as 504 plans, working through mental illness and connecting with peers who have shared experiences of chronic illness.

“Since we deal primarily with invisible illnesses, a lot of our attendees come to us having uncertainty of what it’s going to be like navigating the work place and explaining to their employer when they have episodes of their disease or their condition,” Dave said. “Most, if not all, of adults with chronic diseases have some form of anxiety or depression, so we have a very open discussion about navigating that as well as getting psychosocial support they need.”

Moore said this model helped her feel more knowledgeable about her own treatment.

“It definitely helped me feel like I had more control over things and not just kind of going with whatever everyone was saying,” Moore said.

Dave said when starting the first summits of the organization, she modeled many of the topics after her own experiences with ulcerative colitis.

“I have had this lived experience, so guiding the topics were very personal to me,” Dave said. “I really want my peers to be able to figure out how to navigate these health policy issues that affect them, as well as navigating all of these topics that are really important for adolescents and young adults to start thinking about right now, instead of when are going to be kicked off of their parents’ insurance.”

Dave said because the organization is focused on helping attendees understand topics such as lobbying and medical costs, its funding is independent from pharmaceutical companies.

“We are not interested in working with pharma companies at this point, and other industry members that we feel like will influence not only the content, but the trust of our attendees,” Dave said. “Some of our attendees have trouble getting access to medications.”

Dave and Hedges both said recruiting attendees to come to summits is difficult because it is hard to find people who have chronic illnesses, which are often stigmatized.

“People don’t just tell someone that they have an illness,” Hedges said. “We try to reach out to school nurses, people in disability service, like the dietitian who reached out to me. But I think the most meaningful thing so far to get people to come has just been word of mouth.”

Dave said after graduating next year, she plans to move to Montana to coordinate a summit there, continuing to work on this nonprofit as part of her future career.

“Just being able to share your story publicly is empowering for a lot of the patients that we work with,” Dave said. “I think it’s really great to be educated about what the future is going to be like with a chronic illness and how to prepare for that and use that as a way to kind of continue throughout your career.”

IU rides strong start to win over Louisiana Tech

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

The middle-aged man sitting in the stands of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall wore a red IU pullover and black dress pants. He yelled “money” with as much force as he could muster. In the first half, junior guard Al Durham caught the ball at the top of the circle and lined up a wide open 3-point attempt.

It was nothing but net, and the man cheered. It was the first made 3-pointer of the night for IU men’s basketball, but it was far from the last. IU defeated Loui-

siana Tech University on Monday night 88-75 behind a strong first-half performance.

“We had a week where we amped it up,” Durham said. “We wanted to come in and make a statement.

We wanted to play hard and wanted to set the tone early and not wait.”

The Hoosiers scored six 3-pointers alone in the first half.

In wins over Princeton University and Portland State University, IU only made three 3-pointers in each game. The first-half performance was encouraging to see for the Hoosiers

after moments in the season when the offense struggled.

As the sixth win of the season for the Hoosiers, the Bulldogs were thought of to be more of a challenge coming in, ranked 88th in KenPom, a college basketball statistical website. The next closest opponent in terms of ranking for IU was Princeton at 218.

Throughout the first half, IU was having its way in transition and hitting open shots. Senior guard Devonte Green found his groove, and there wasn’t much slowing down the offense. At one point, IU led Louisiana Tech by 23 points in the first half.

“For our team, I thought we got off to a really good start,” IU head coach Archie Miller said. “Our guards did a really good job early in the game attacking in transition.

I thought they made the game pretty easy early, and we were able to build a comfortable lead.”

It looked like IU was going to run away with the game in a hurry. That was until Louisiana Tech started hitting shots, and the IU defense broke down at times.

In the second half, the defensive trend continued, and the offense followed suit.

IU allowed Louisiana Tech to cut the lead to as

few as nine points. But each time the Bulldogs looked to complete the comeback effort, the Hoosiers found an answer.

Freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis took advantage of the height difference in the paint and had his way in the second half.

He scored 17 points and pulled in seven rebounds alone in the second 20 minutes. He finished with his third double-double of the season.

In the prior five games, Miller consistently mentioned how his team would make adjustments at halftime, and that’s what con-

tributed to the wins.

This time around, it was the first-half performance that helped IU remain in control.

The last two times IU started 6-0, the team went on to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

It’s too soon in the season to talk about IU’s fate come March but Miller is happy to remain undefeated going forward.

“This is one, regardless of how you feel you played, we won the game, and a few months from now this will be one that’s more valuable than hopefully most people realize,” Miller said.

IU head coach Archie Miller and his team had to adjust to a new structure without the leadership of years past. It had to form a new chemistry on the court with fresh faces along with familiar ones in different and expanded roles.

It’s why IU men’s basketball opened the season with one of the nation’s weakest non-conference schedules, currently ranked 343rd out of 353 non-conference schedules, playing seven straight games where IU could afford to not be at its best and still win with relative ease.

That’s over now.

No longer can IU struggle for stretches like it did against Louisiana Tech University, or have the slow starts it did in its first few games. IU doesn’t have the room to recover anymore.

From here on out, IU only faces major conference teams. That begins Tuesday as Florida State University comes to Bloomington for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

With that comes larger

crowds and the type of environment Assembly Hall is known for.

“I’m always excited to play in Assembly Hall,” senior guard Devonte Green said after Saturday’s win over South Dakota State.

“But it’s always an advantage for us when there’s a lot more fans here and they’re a lot louder and the game’s more intense.”

The Seminoles haven’t had the same weak schedule to open the season. It already has wins over the then-ranked No. 24 University of Florida, then-ranked No. 17 University of Tennessee and Purdue.

Its only loss came in a true road game against the University of Pittsburgh by two to start the season. Last season, Florida State advanced to the Sweet 16, and all the way to the Elite 8 in the 2017-18 season.

Head coach Leonard Hamilton turned a traditional football school into one of the nation’s more successful basketball programs in recent years.

IU and Florida State are similar in depth.

“It should be a great opportunity to play against a terrific ACC team,” Miller said Saturday. “Depth and size at the highest level.”

Both teams have four players scoring in doublefigures. IU is led by freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis with 15.6 points per game.

Junior forward Justin Smith, junior guard Al Durham and senior guard Devonte Green are IU’s next three top scorers respectively, all with over 12 points per game.

Jackson-Davis has been IU’s most consistent player over the first seven games.

Not only is he leading the team in scoring, but he is 0.4 rebounds per game away from averaging a doubledouble.

He already has four double-doubles in his career. Against South Dakota State University on Saturday, Jackson-Davis had 19 points along with 14 rebounds and four blocks.

While IU is deep with its forwards, Florida State is deep among its guards.

Florida State has 11 guards on its roster, though certainly not guards lacking

Forward duo’s efforts help IU remain undefeated

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

The crowd erupted each time IU football’s Old Oaken Bucket victory against Purdue was mentioned.

When it was announced over the intercom and shown on the jumbotron was the loudest the crowd got.

That was until freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis threw down an ally-oop slam with the second half winding down.

After junior forward Justin Smith stole the ball, he passed it up to sophomore forward Damezi Anderson.

With Jackson-Davis running to the left of him and only one defender between them both, Anderson threw it up to the freshman at the last possible moment.

Jackson-Davis slammed it home with both hands and when he came back down, he flexed on the defender while screaming.

It was a dunk that capped off a 6-0 run for the Hoosiers to give them a 6246 lead in a game that saw the Jackrabbits continuing to stay within striking distance. Throughout the night, the duo of JacksonDavis and Smith kept IU steadily ahead.

“Looking at the stat sheet, I thought our team did a really nice job against

their best two guys of holding that down and really the difference in the game,” IU head coach Archie Miller said. “Our rebounding, obviously from an offensive perspective, Trayce and Justin did a great job.”

Jackson-Davis had his fourth double-double of the season and his second straight with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Nine of his 14 rebounds were on the offensive end which was more than the entire Jackrabbits’ team combined.

He provided the dominant post presence IU needed with junior center Joey Brunk held to a single point and four rebounds.

The freshman also had four blocks on the night with three coming in the first half to help limit South Dakota State to 24 paint points compared to 30 for IU. The performance especially on the the glass wasn’t surprising to his teammates.

“He’s such a good athlete that it’s, he has that advantage of getting boards over guys,” senior guard Devonte Green said. “He has always been a good rebounder. I wouldn’t say it was much of an improvement, but that’s what he does.”

For Smith, when he wasn’t playing his best, South Dakota State took advantage. But when Smith

was running in transition and taking shots in the paint, he helped carry the offensive load.

In the first half, after Jackson-Davis blocked a shot off the backboard, Smith caught the ball and took it all the way for a transition dunk of his own.

The play gave IU the 2618 lead and after that dunk, the Hoosiers never allowed the Jackrabbits to cut the lead back to anything less than eight points.

The victory over the Jackrabbits was the final time the Hoosiers will face a nonPower Five conference op-

ponent.

With Florida State University and Wisconsin on the schedule next week, Miller is still worried about how his team is performing due to the 19 turnovers on the night.

But for now, his team has an undefeated record which

is the best start since the 2012-13 season.

“Without question, there’s just a little bit of that funny feeling that we’re not playing as well as we need to, we’re not as sharp as we need to be,” Miller said. “We got to take care of the ball a little bit better.”

So far this season, IU has been like that kid in your class that never shows up except for when there’s a class participation assignment. The Hoosiers show up and get credit, but it’s hard to tell if they have actually learned anything so far.

Well, now it’s time for the Hoosiers to take their first test when they play Florida State University on Tuesday.

Is IU 7-0 to start the season? Yes. Has the Hoosiers’ performances in those games inspired a lot of confidence?

At times yes, but they have also scared the living daylights out of people at others.

Coming into this season, IU’s biggest question mark was thought to be its offense and who would be able to step up after the departures of Romeo Langford and Juwan Morgan. Surprisingly, the offense has been one of the few consistent aspects of the Hoosiers game.

Senior guard Devonte Green has been as good as advertised in his new role as the go-to scorer for IU, but it’s been the supporting cast that’s been most impressive.

Freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis has better than many expected — even as Indiana Mr. Basketball — leading the Hoosiers in scoring with 15.6 points-per-game and 9.6 rebounds-per-game.

Junior forward Justin Smith seems to have finally made the jump IU fans have been waiting for.

Smith has been able to use his size and athleticism to dominate on both sides of the court, it may have been against lesser opponents, but it’s still been impressive.

for size, along with five forwards and two centers. Its two top leading scorers are guards.

Given the structure of the Seminoles roster, JacksonDavis could be in line for another big game.

Only one Florida State forward is of Jackson-Davis’ 6’9” frame. Though, Jackson-Davis would be undersized against either of Florida State’s 7-foot centers when IU plays its smaller lineup.

US to talk carbon trades under climate pact From Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump may be withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, but the U.S. is still going to be a force at the negotiating table as international leaders gather in Madrid next week to map out rules for carbon trading as a way to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

Despite Trump's rejection of the global agreement to cut carbon emissions, U.S. officials have long advocated emissions-trading schemes on the world stage and the government wants a say in the structure of those carbon markets — a key issue before delegates at the annual United Nations climate summit that begins Monday.

The transparency and accountability of such markets is a top priority for the U.S. government and businesses such as airlines and oil companies that may have to offset their own emissions through carbon trading.

"Even though one might not care about climate, you don't want countries to be able to cheat," said Brad Schallert, deputy director of international climate coordination for the World Wildlife Fund, which supports global action to thwart climate change. "That is something in the long-term interest of the U.S." The U.S. government is dispatching a small team of career diplomats and officials to the climate talks, largely mirroring the delegation that attended last year's summit in Poland. They will also be joined by representatives of some businesses and state and local governments.

But unlike the past two years, where the Trump administration played a contrarian role and held discussions to promote clean coal, the U.S. is not planning a similar side event in Madrid. And, in another shift, political appointees from the Trump administration also won't be attending, according to two people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named before a formal announcement.

The U.S. team is set to be led by two career officials from the State Department: climate negotiator Kim Carnahan and Marcia Bernicat, a principal deputy assistant secretary, the people said.

Secretary of State Michael Pompeo emphasized earlier this month that the U.S. will

Smoke rises from the Monroe Power Plant in Monroe, Michigan. President Donald Trump may be withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, but the U.S. is still going to be a force at the negotiating table as international leaders gather in Madrid next week to map out rules for carbon trading as a way to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

"continue to offer a realistic and pragmatic model" and highlight the role of innovation and open markets during international climate discussions.

While Trump has begun exiting the Paris pact, that withdrawal won't be official until Nov. 4, 2020 — the day after the next U.S. presidential election. Other countries still welcome U.S. negotiators in the talks, according to longtime climate summitgoers, because the diplomats bring expertise to the discussions and their participation could help forge rules that would be palatable to the U.S. should a future president seek to change course. Democratic presidential contenders have widely vowed to rejoin the pact.

Oil and gas companies that unsuccessfully lobbied the Trump administration to remain in the Paris agreement have a vested interest in the negotiations, said Alden Meyer, director of strategy and policy at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "They are

supportive of emissions trading and other mechanisms because in the event there ever is a domestic binding climate regime in the United States, that would give them flexibility to reduce the costs on their own facilities of compliance," he said.

Official negotiations will focus on one of the thorniest aspects of the 2015 Paris agreement: how to use markets to help slash greenhouse gas emissions. In Article 6 of the 2015 pact, countries agreed to create a new system for trading allowances covering greenhouse gases, but negotiators are still haggling over the details.

New carbon markets could allow countries to sell emissions credits generated from programs that curb greenhouse gases, such as upgrading the efficiency of industrial plants, paring pollution from air conditioning systems, developing renewable power installations and planting trees.

About half of countries in the Paris agreement are

counting on such emissions trading to help fulfill their carbon-cutting promises. But environmentalists want to make sure the system isn't undermined by loopholes and double counting.

Many environmental advocacy groups also want to limit credits to projects that wouldn't have happened otherwise – responding to a major criticism of an earlier carbon-trading regime that came out of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. They are fighting a push by Brazil to allow unused credits from the older system to be grandfathered in to the new approach.

"The U.S. has been fairly helpful on Article 6, in terms of pushing for robust accounting standards and safeguards against double counting and raising skepticism about the proposal from Brazil," said Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists. "If we get it right, it can facilitate higher ambition and get us closer to being on track for the Paris temperature goals. If we get it wrong, it can really blow

a hole in the integrity of the Paris commitments, and that would be a disaster."

The U.S. government's active role negotiating international carbon market rules is tethered to a related effort to curb emissions from airlines, said Elliot Diringer, executive vice president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. Even though Trump is withdrawing from the Paris agreement, the U.S. remains part of the International Civil Aviation Organization and supports its plan to offset plane pollution by planting trees, investing in clean energy and taking other steps to curb emissions.

The aviation program "is somewhat predicated on the Paris agreement accounting system to guard against double counting reduction units, so the U.S. has an interest in seeing that system put in place," Diringer said.

Continued U.S. involvement at climate talks also reflects the country's longstanding connection to United Nations action on the is-

sue. The U.S. will retain a seat at the Conference of Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change, the underlying 1992 environmental treaty.

The official U.S. delegation will be buttressed by scores of other Americans representing local governments, corporations and advocacy groups arguing that the U.S. is still committed to fighting climate change and meeting its Paris agreement pledge to cut carbon dioxide emissions 26% to 28% from 2005 levels by 2025.

Panel discussions and other events also are planned to highlight ways businesses and local governments are curbing emissions.

Representatives from oil companies Royal Dutch Shell Plc and BP Plc and electric utilities PNM Resources and DTE Energy are set to attend alongside the lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, the mayor of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and other elected officials.

Online sales break Black Friday record as clicks beat queues From Tribune News Service

NEW YORK — Black Friday hit a record $7.4 billion in U.S. online sales as many shoppers spent the day clicking instead of lining up to buy.

It was the second-biggest U.S. online sales day ever, behind 2018 Cyber Monday's $7.9 billion, according to a survey of 80 of the top 100 U.S. online retailers from Adobe Analytics.

Shoppers increasingly favor buying online from the start of the holiday season, rather than waiting for Cyber Monday as they may have a few years ago. That's in part as they transition to purchasing via mobile devices from using computers

— often at the office after the holiday weekend.

Purchases made by smartphone on Friday accounted for $2.9 billion in sales, the most ever.

"With Christmas now rapidly approaching, consumers increasingly jumped on their phones rather than standing in line," said Adobe analyst Taylor Schreiner.

Overall it remained unclear the percentages of sales online versus in stores this holiday weekend.

Yet some shoppers still prefer the Black Friday instore experience, which is sometimes a family hunting-and-gathering expedition after Thanksgiving festivities.

For example, the Atlantic

Terminal Mall Best Buy in Brooklyn sold out of Apple Inc. iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pros on Friday and had lines stretching the length of the store as shoppers picking up Microsoft Corp.

Xboxes and Nintendo Co. Switches among other bigticket items.

One out of 5 dollars this holiday season will be spent between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday, according to Adobe figures, which are similar to estimates provided by Salesforce. Cyber Monday sales are poised to outshine 2018's record by 19%.

LONDON – Islamic State on Saturday claimed responsibility for the stabbing attack in central London that left two people dead before the attacker was shot and killed by armed police.

The Islamist militia’s news agency, Amaq, said the man was an Islamic State fighter and that he carried out the attack in response to calls for targeting citizens of the countries that form an alliance fighting Islamic State.

On Friday, a man identified by British authorities as 28-year-old Usman Khan stabbed two people to death on London Bridge before he was shot dead by police.

The suspect had previously been convicted of terrorism offenses, according to British authorities.

Three other victims, a man and two women, are receiving treatment in hospital, police said.

Khan, who reportedly served time for a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange, had been released early from prison in December 2018, prompting a fierce debate about the practice.

The Times newspaper said that he was still wearing an electronic ankle tag.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson weighed in on the early release debate.

“If you are convicted of a serious terrorist offense, there should be a mandatory minimum sentence of 14 years – and some should

never be released,” Johnson said when visiting the scene of the attack on Saturday.

“Further, for all terrorism and extremist offences the sentence announced by the judge must be the time actually served – these criminals must serve every day of their sentence, with no exceptions.”

The Guardian reported that the judge in Khan’s case said his plans were a “serious, long-term venture in terrorism” and he may represent an ongoing danger to the public.

Responding to criticism, the Parole Board issued a statement on Saturday to say it had not been involved in his release of the attacker “who appears to have been released automatically on license (as required by law), without ever being referred to the Board.”

The Ministry of Justice said it would urgently re-

view the license conditions imposed on other convicted terrorists released from prison, which is understood to relate to around 70 people, Britain’s Press Association, or PA, reported.

Khan’s attack started at a conference on rehabilitation at Fishmongers’ Hall; he was tackled by ex-offenders attending it and a Polish chef who worked at the venue, PA reported.

Khan, who was wearing a hoax explosive device at the time of the attack, had taken part in a prisoner rehabilitation program organized by Cambridge University and had shown “no cause for concern,” PA cited a source familiar with the program as saying.

Campaign events for the upcoming British general election on Dec. 12 were canceled on Saturday.

ogy. The technology increases efficiency in validating parking permits and eliminates the need for a physical tag.

“One benefit is that it reduces waste and lessens the university’s cost in purchasing physical hangtags and the distribution of them,” she said.

The technology also generates some concerns, including shared permits. The elimination of physical permits poses challenges for permit holders who transfer the hangtag between cars.

LPR technology requires permits to be digitally linked to a single user’s license plate, prohibiting the sharing of a permit between two or more cars.

“There’s a lot of operational challenges that come along with the technology too, especially when you’re talking about families that have multiple vehicles on campus or employees that drive multiple vehicles to campus, ” she said.

Turnipseed said she expects some errors with the technology, but the pilot period will allow time to uncover and address these issues.

If the technology is implemented after the pilot, parking enforcement officers will review the accuracy of tickets issued through the technology, Turnipseed said.

“There are going to be data errors that we’ll have to work through and it will require some enforcement personnel to be ensuring that any citations issued after implementation are validated and accurate,” Turnipseed said.

Turnipseed said IU parking will consider implementing the technology after assessing the benefits and concerns uncovered during the 12-month pilot.

“The purpose of this pilot is to allow us adequate amount of time to gather what all of the barriers and challenges are that we will need to find solutions for before we actually consider putting it into operation,” Turnipseed said.

“We have all the confidence that Kleyn can step in and do the job,” Maher said.

“One slip can’t really define a full performance. What he meant in his time here at Indiana is one that we will remember for a really long time.”

The eventual golden-goal for Baynham was a laser shot over the outstretched arms of IU freshman goalkeeper Roman Celentano that tucked itself just inside the right goal post.

As the seconds ticked by and the emotion of what had just taken place set in, several upset Hoosiers scattered their bodies onto the turf. Tears were shed, frustration illuminated and several college careers had officially taken their last gasps of breath.

“There’s not much you can say at this point,“ IU junior defender Spencer Glass said. “It’s just how you respond to it, bounce back and learn from the situations.”

Much can be said about what this youthful, inexperienced IU team accom-

ing to be rough,” Allen said.

“The winds, the rains and all that stuff it creates obviously makes it challenging in the throw game.”

Late in the third quarter, Philyor gave a little shimmy at the line-of-scrimmage and then exploded downfield as he showed off his speed, torching the Boilermakers’ defense on a goroute for a 37-yard touchdown reception.

As soon as Philyor crossed the goal line, his celebration began as he ran around the field blowing an imaginary train whistle before slowing down to allow his teammates to catch up with him on the sideline.

“Oh yeah,” Philyor said laughing about the celebration. “We’re the real trains.”

If anyone was concerned it would take Philyor some time to get back into the flow of things after missing a week due to the concussion, he immediately put all those worries to bed. He comfortably stepped back into the number-one receiving role,

catching the opening touchdown for the Hoosiers.

Philyor quickly reminded everyone what the IU offense was missing against Michigan last week as he caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns in his return.

Like he’s been all season, Philyor served at IU’s security blanket in the passing game. Whenever the Hoosiers needed a big play through the air, junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey knew where he was supposed to throw the ball and Philyor made sure to get open for him.

“I thought we did a great job,” Allen said. “We stuttered a little bit at times in the second half, but I thought we had a good plan and executed well.”

For the past two seasons, Philyor has had to watch the Boilermakers spill onto the field as they celebrated putting another “P” on the Old Oaken Bucket’s chain. Now, it’s his turn to celebrate.

“We just happy that its back in Bloomington,” Philyor said. “Hopefully it’s there for the rest of time.”

plished this season, but for it to end in the most improbable fashion that it did, few IU players took solace in their Sweet Sixteen run.

“A lot of teams are putting banners up for Sweet Sixteens,” IU head coach Todd Yeagley said. “When you’ve been to 20 College Cups, yeah it doesn’t seem like it’s as far as you’d like to go.”

Now as the offseason looms, perhaps sooner than many expected, self-reflection becomes IU’s coping mechanism. With a roster chock-full of newcomers, many have little experience with heartbreak; others are

unfamiliar with defeat.

As the last sliver of IU’s former candle light burns its final wick, and with it the remnants of old, a new era of IU men’s soccer begins to slowly take shape.

It’s likely that the Hoosiers’ roster next season sees plenty of new faces once again, but as Yeagley continues to build toward his ninth national championship, the pain of this season will linger.

For better or worse, Baynham’s shot won’t soon be forgotten. But whether IU uses that to fuel its growing hunger for the elusive ninth ring, that remains to be seen.

down the field for touchdowns on three consecutive drives to tie the game.

IU had trouble stopping sophomore running back Zander Horvath, who finished with 164 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Horvath became the first Purdue player to amass 100 rushing yards in a game this season.

Fifth-year kicker Logan Justus’ three missed field goals, all from the left hash, initially haunted IU’s

chances of winning. Coming into the game, Justus’ only missed kick was an extra-point. Allen turned to Charles Campbell with a 2823 lead for a crucial field goal in the fourth quarter, and the redshirt freshman connected on the 41-yard attempt.

Purdue scored on a 20yard pass and converted a two-point conversion with less than three minutes in regulation to tie the game at 31-31, ultimately sending the

game to overtime.

“We never blinked,” Philyor said. “We were always poised and on top of the game.”

Each team scored touchdowns in the first frame, but the Boilermakers were held to a field goal on the first drive of the second overtime.

Two completions from quarterback Peyton Ramsey brought the ball down to the one-yard line, but Ramsey pushed through a pile and

scored the go-ahead touchdown on his feet to clinch IU’s first eight-win season since 1993.

“Those are the kind of things you dream about,” Ramsey said. “Having an opportunity to go win nine, it means a lot.”

On Dec. 8, the Hoosiers will learn their postseason fate and where they’ll play a bowl game once all the conference championships are played.

tion will teach budgeting and studio logic behind movie and TV distribution, as well as marketing. Together, both simulations bring exposure to either side of the filmmaking process to students.

These courses are intensive and immersive, and therefore provide clarity on whether a career in New York or Hollywood is right for the student.

Uslan encourages college students to be more proactive in realizing dreams that require what he calls a “high threshold for frustration.”

Harriet Curry, Court Appointed Special Advocate

COURTESY PHOTO

Harriet Curry was a CASA for 25 years before retiring at age 89.

The last case.

Harriet Curry, 89, has worked for decades as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children making their way through the foster care system. Now, after 25 years, she’s retiring.

By Madison Smalstig msmalsti@iu.edu | @madi_smals

H

arriet Curry shuffled through the automatic glass doors at Bell Trace Senior Living Community to the fourth parking space from the door. Holding the keys with both hands, she shook slightly as she pressed hard on the unlock button for her Ford Fiesta.

She's 89. It takes longer now to get into her car than it did a few years ago, but she still knows how to drive — with her left hand resting at the 10 o’clock position and her right hand gripping the emergency brake.

Bloomington has changed so much since she moved here more than 60 years ago, Curry said as she drove without directions.

The population has almost tripled. The university has outgrown its original borders.

Maybe she had changed, too.

Curry has been a Court Appointed Special Advocate for 25 years. She has seen a rise in drug abuse, periods when the courts were double-booked for months at a time and the ranks of CASA volunteers held steady while the number of kids on the CASA waitlist grew.

She has seen most of her children go to caring families. But not all.

Now, she's retiring. This is her last visit for her last case.

The little girl is a 25-month-old with blue

marker on her face and boogers in her nose.

She's her last little one. * * * As a CASA, Curry is assigned children as they go through the foster care system. She visits them at least once a month to observe and talk to them. She also talks to parents, caregivers, relatives, teachers, therapists, doctors and others in an attempt to figure out what is best for the kids. She writes it all in a report to the judge.

A foster child can go through more than one family, more than one DCS caseworker, more than one therapist. He or she will most likely have only one CASA. That person is the constant.

Curry joined CASA as a volunteer in 1995 after attending an alumni event organized at her sorority.

Curry had only been retired for about a week from IU Press when she signed up.

She was already a grandma, and she loved kids.

After 25 years, Curry has become not only a constant to the children she serves, but also to the CASA program itself. * * * Her first case was one of her hardest.

When Curry first peered

at the little baby in the NICU, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

The baby was missing a part of its brain. What seemed like hundreds of tubes and wires stuck out of its small body. The baby was too delicate to hold.

Curry looked down at the child and cried. She cried for the fight the baby had been in since the moment it was born. For the quality of life it would have. For the parents who had chosen cocaine over their child. She cried the whole way home.

A judge would have to decide whether the baby should remain on life support and who could take it home and care for it.

Curry was the eager, innocent new recruit. Now, she would have to toughen up and decide if the child’s life was worth living.

For months, she spent hours driving to Indianapolis, meeting the child’s maternal grandparents, studying, talking, struggling.

When Judge Viola Taliaferro asked her what she would do if it was her grandchild, Curry said that she would pull the plug.

The baby died before it was taken off the machines. * * * When Curry speaks of the children she has represented, she likes to use the word “darling.” The way they sit in her lap when she reads

to them and how their faces light up when their foster parents come in the room makes her want to adopt them herself, if she wasn’t so old.

But not all of them have been darling. And when they weren’t, Curry knew why.

Of the Indiana children placed in foster care in 2017, 60% of them were removed from situations involving drug abuse – a one-third increase from 2013.

Curry did not need to see these numbers to know that drug abuse – and with it the number of children affected – has increased. She’s seen it time and time again.

When parents use drugs, particularly opioids, they leave babies in cribs for days at a time as they binge and crash. They pass out with toddlers crawling atop them, clutching baby bottles full of fruit punch.

They overdose in cars, kids strapped in the back seat.

They forget to feed their babies. They miss doctor's appointments, and a pediatrician calls the child abuse hotline. Moms leave their children with boyfriends, who throw them against the wall. Parents lose their jobs and take their kids with them into shelters, motels or out onto the streets. They bring dealers and pimps into their kids’ lives. They grow paranoid. They go to jail, leaving their kids alone.

Drugs were not as much

of an issue when Curry started as a CASA. Her first case was an exception.

Kids born exposed to drugs might shake and scream for weeks, struggle to feed and struggle to attach to their caregivers. It all made Curry wonder how parents could do that to their children.

She’d never find a satisfying answer. * * * Curry spends around 100 hours on every case.

The stakes are high. She weighs in on whether kids should be removed from their parents, whether parents should get one more chance. She helps decide if and when the kids can return home, or whether it’s time to sever their ties to their parents.

She has never doubted her decisions. Still, she is happy she doesn’t have to make the final call the judge is tasked with.

CASAs are the one person in the courtroom whose only intention is to represent the child’s best interest.

Their final report is seen as the perspective of the children, if they could articulate their feelings during such a confusing time.

Today, there are enough CASAs for the children in Monroe County. Just over three years ago, however, when the opioid crisis was surging and the cases piled up, there weren’t enough to

go around.

By 2016, there were 100 children on the waitlist for a CASA representative, and that number stayed level for two years.

In 2016, the 10th circuit court of Monroe County was double-booking in order to hear more than 35 juvenile cases a day. Just three years before, there had been 153 CHINS — children in need of services — cases. By 2016, there were 323.

The stacks of paper on family court Judge Stephen Galvan’s desk grew 2.5 feet tall. More than 500 children were waiting for a decision.

It was difficult to do the job correctly.

DCS wants one thing.

The parents want another.

The foster parents sometimes want something else.

Sometimes the children speak in court. Sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they are too young to know the difference between a good living situation and a bad one.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Takeaways from IU’s run at Paradise Jam

By Sam Bodnar Sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

When the final buzzer sounded on opening night, the scoreboard reflected a result most would not have predicted. Despite being ranked No. 17, IU women’s basketball caught fire from the floor and knocked off No. 5 University of South Carolina, 71-57.

This was the first time the Hoosiers defeated a top-5 AP poll ranked team since taking down Ohio State in 2010.

“I thought it was a statement game for us,” IU head coach Teri Moren said.

The Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands featured a fierce Hoosier offense and lockdown defense that pulled out all the stops to advance to 6-1 on the season. Leading the Jams’ shooting clinic was senior forward Brenna Wise and junior guard Ali Patberg.

The duo each put up 16 points against the Gamecocks put on Thursday as the Hoosiers shot 50% from the floor and nearly the same percent-

age from behind the arc.

Wise was 80% from threepoint range and put up two steals in 31 minutes. Her dominance from deep freed up teammates down low and continued to pressure USC down the stretch.

Wise and the veterans kept the back and forth game flowing with solid defense that held IU in the contest during its dry spell in the third quarter. IU forced 18 USC turnovers which translated into 18 points on the other end.

“It was a game of runs,” Wise said. “Our defense created our offense and it was more about stopping the ball and then whatever came offensively happened.”

Patberg’s team-high four assists helped stretch the floor on a night where ball movement was not the team’s strong suit. The junior played almost the entire contest and was key to the team’s 24-6 scoring spree in the fourth quarter. The duo shined less in Friday’s 77-62 loss to No. 2 Baylor University with

Senior Brenna Wise defends against Jackson State University Nov. 17 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Despite being ranked No. 17, IU women’s basketball knocked off No. 5 University of South Carolina on Nov. 28 at St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands with a score of 71-57.

a combined 22 points and 12 rebounds. Both played a season-high in minutes and worked with sophomore guard and leading scorer Grace Berger to keep the game interesting.

Berger put up 18 points and shot 62% from the field.

Along with Wise’s four assists, Berger kept IU’s offense sharp in the Hoosiers’ tough loss to

the Bears.

“I thought Grace Berger had two really good performances back-to-back, but it’s just not enough against a Baylor team that has so many weapons,” Moren said.

As a returner to IU, Berger has outperformed her freshman season beyond what statistics could have suggested.

She is 10th in the Big Ten in

points per game and sixth in field goal percentage.

Saturday’s dominating win for IU became less exciting after Berger went down. The sophomore guard played a season low 18 minutes in IU’s 78-44 win over Washington State University.

Berger did not play during the second half, managing just six points and two rebounds.

Her status for Wednesday’s match at the University of Miami is unknown. IU also saw another starter, sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe, play just 22 minutes against Baylor and then not at all against WSU. Although Gulbe put up only two points and six rebounds, her presence on the low block gives IU options down low and second chance opportunities. Gulbe’s status for Wednesday is also uncertain.

In the face of two injured starters, IU’s bench production stepped up its game and kept IU on the scoreboard with fresh legs. The second unit combined for 41 points

over the weekend with 30 coming from the games where IU lost Gulbe and Berger.

Freshman forward Mackenzie Holmes made her first career start against WSU. In her 26 minutes, Holmes proved that with or without Gulbe, she can position herself in the key and collect second chance opportunities and easy finishes for IU. Holmes averaged 21 minutes per game over the tournament, scoring 11 points and grabbing seven rebounds on average in each. Moren said she was pleased with her freshman forward’s hustle and was also content with the way her second unit played.

“I loved how our other pieces stepped up in a big way,” Moren said. “Chanel Wilson, Keyanna Warthen, Jorie Allen, and Hannah Noveroske came off the bench and gave us great minutes.”

Moren’s bench continues to contribute when it matters most, a good sign with potential injuries freeing up minutes.

MEN’S SOCCER

IU’s sloppy ball control results in Sweet Sixteen loss

By Sam Bodnar Sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

Rain and snow were not ideal conditions Sunday, but neither was the ball control for No. 5 IU men’s soccer.

Time and time again IU lost control of the ball, and it cost them in a 1-0 loss in double overtime against the University of California, Santa Barbara.

This was the first loss at Jerry Yeagley Field in 38 matches.

“Congratulations to Santa Barbara,” IU head coach Todd Yeagley said. “They’re a good team and gave us a lot to deal with, certainly in that first half.”

The Gauchos controlled the ball for the first 45 minutes, sending crisp passes around the field and locking down the Hoosiers’ ball movement.

IU struggled to make plays with an airtight high press from UCSB. Passes could not get across the midfield line, and IU’s forwards were unable to get plays rolling.

When the Hoosiers managed to dart down the field off a counter, the players either ran into traffic and turned the ball over or sent passes that were intercepted.

In the 25th minute, freshman forward Joshua Penn overshot a pass to senior de-

fender Simon Waever on the right side of the box. Oversights like this characterized much of IU’s failed attempts to get on the board.

Corner kicks were another feature of IU’s struggles to develop a fluid offense.

Freshman midfielder Aidan Morris could not seem to land the ball in the right spot around the box as it sailed over sophomore defender Jack Maher or hit the wall of UCSB’s defenders who cleared it out.

Maher took six on the afternoon, but IU could not set up open opportunities for goals.

Freshman forward Victor Bezerra, IU’s leading scorer in the NCAA Tournament,

Now Hiring: Advertising Account Executive

was shut down and roughed up by the UCSB defense. His yellow card and four fouls echoed his frustration as physical defense and sloppy passing from his teammates prevented him from getting the ball.

IU had more possessions to work with in the second half as its passing saw improvements. Junior defender A.J. Palazzolo found his teammates with crosses into the box and through balls to set up a few shots.

Despite Palazzolo and the team’s efforts, they were getting outbodied on second balls and surrendered further opportunities along the sidelines to push the ball ahead to open forwards.

“They did a good job at the very beginning pressing us pretty quick, but the wind played a huge factor today,” junior midfielder Spencer Glass said. “Second balls were kinda key today that whoever could get on the end of those could help the possession.”

UCSB was physical and decisive, outnumbering IU on the second balls. This inability to control the field and get the ball where it needed it to be prevented IU from scoring during regulation.

Overtime was much of the same for the Hoosiers on offense as its opportunity in the 98th minute to put the Gauchos away resulted

in a missed shot.

Palazzolo placed a solid through ball to senior forward Joris Ahlinvi, who put too much power on an open shot.

This was perhaps IU’s best offensive play of the afternoon. But it could not convert, and the second overtime began.

After seemingly stopping UCSB from scoring in the 102nd minute, senior defender Jordan Kleyn slipped up and allowed UCSB’s senior forward Will Baynham to get the golden goal.

“It hurts,” Maher said.

“It’s gonna hurt for years to come but we’re gonna grow from it. I can guarantee you that.”

SOME GROSS TAKES

Gritty quarterback Peyton Ramsey is the epitome of IU football this season Jack Grossman is a senior in sports media.

West Lafayette, Ind. — When you Google the definition of epitome, the first response is from the Oxford dictionary. It defines the word as “a person or thing that is a perfect example of a particular quality or type.”

Before the 2019 season, head coach Tom Allen dubbed the one word of the season as grit. Oxford defines grit as “the courage and determination that makes it possible for somebody to continue doing something difficult or unpleasant” IU football has had various players that have shown grit in 2019. But the definition is a perfect match for one member of the Hooisers: junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey.

“I love that man to the death of me,” senior receiver Nick Westbrook said. “One of my favorite dudes on the team. He showed so much grit, fight and determination you just can’t help but rally

around him.”

If there is one play that shows what Ramsey is all about, it was the last play of the third quarter. The Hoosiers were facing a third and 13, and Ramsey was flushed out of the pocket and scrambled.

About five yards short of the first down marker, Ramsey encountered an issue. There were two Boilermakers waiting to make a tackle. Instead of sliding and leaving IU short of the line to gain, Ramsey put his body on the line and got helicoptered across the first down line to extend the drive.

“Peyton is a dog man,” junior receiver Whop Philyor said. “He’s tough as nails. You see him out there and he’s taking hits and everything for us.

So we gotta play for him because of the things he did for us. That’s my boy.”

The helicopter first down was far from the only hit Ramsey took. He picked up a different third and long after shrugging off a Boilermaker

that had an arm wrapped on.

He took multiple shots while getting sacked five times in the game. But just like he has all season, after every big hit Ramsey took, he got right back up and not only stayed in the game, but played at a high level.

On the day, the Cincinnati native completed 23 of 39 pass attempts for 337 yards and three touchdowns. Ramsey also ran for 42 yards on 19 carries — 14 rushes for 72 yards not counting sack yardage — and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. The five total touchdowns are a career high for Ramsey in his three-year career in Bloomington.

It was only appropriate that the final play of the game was Ramsey getting drilled on a quarterback sneak while falling into the end zone to give IU football its first eight win season in 26 years.

“Peyton Ramsey, what else can you say,” Allen said.

“So fitting he scored the game winning touchdown. He’s a guy that has been awesome

ALEX DERYN | IDS

all year long, and tough and gritty. He’s just an absolute winner.”

Even before the Oaken Bucket game, grit has always been a perfect way to describe Ramsey. For the third straight season the junior found himself in a quarterback competition. Even after losing to redshirt freshman Michael Penix Jr., Ramsey refused to hang his

head and transfer somewhere else.

Instead, Ramsey bucked the modern trend of bailing on a situation at any sort of adversity and stuck it out with the Hoosiers. As Penix suffered various injuries, Ramsey has filled in admirably first on a temporary, and then eventually on a permanent basis after Penix saw his season end

against Northwestern.

To stick it out in Bloomington takes a lot of guts and — yes — grit. Because of that grit, Ramsey has helped IU football to a special season.

Peyton Ramsey is the epitome of grit.

Therefore, Peyton Ramsey is the epitome of IU football. jegrossm@iu.edu

IU celebrates birth of jazz musician Hoagy Carmichael

Nobody likes you when you’re 21

Australian singer-songwriter Stella Donnelly released the song “Die” in March of this year from her album “Beware of the Dogs.”

Kevin Chrisco is a junior in journalism.

It is my birthday. My mother referred to me as her “adult child” over Thanksgiving break. I have never been more aware of my mortality.

I am one day closer to death.

I can feel my youth slipping by. Are the best years of my life behind me? Am I destined to grow up and become a cog in the corporate machine?

I know it’s dramatic to be worried about this now, but aging is a terrifying thing.

Luckily, I have the following songs to make me feel young.

“Young Forever” by JR JR

“Young Forever” is a woozy power pop groove all about being young and having fun. It’s breezy and fun and really does make me feel like I could be young forever.

It’s the Fountain of Youth in audio form.

“Doctor Whomst”

by Origami Angel The emo outfit dropped an absolute banger of an album this year with “Somewhere City.” The second single “Doctor Whomst” is a thrashing, electric song about being young and not worrying too much about life. The song shouts out Danny Phantom and Happy Meals. It’s a shining diamond

on an album full of gems.

“Josephine” by Oso Oso “Josephine” is a bouncy guitar rock song about the unsureness of a relationship. It’s so full of emotion, it’s hard not to find yourself wrapped up inside the song.

Plus, the riff at the end goes ridiculously stupid. It’s a perfect little slice of life, a beautiful snapshot of the landscape of youth.

“Die” by Stella Donnelly “Die” is a delightful lofi indie pop song. It’s sweet and simple and sounds like it could be in a soundtrack of any coming-of-age film. The song is upbeat and poppy.

It’s an ABBA inspired banger and it plainly states exactly how I’m feeling.

“Slumber Party” by A Great Big Pile of Leaves I love this song more than I love myself. The percussion is perfect. The “da da das” are perfectly placed over powerful riffs. The bridge is just the lead singer naming a bunch of different ways to jump into a pool. It’s goofy and fun and full of life.

I may be an adult child now, but that’s okay. These songs can make me feel like a kid while the weight of the world takes a backseat. kmchrisc@iu.edu

On Nov. 22 in 1899, beloved Hoosier and a prominent songwriter Hoagland Howard “Hoagy” Carmichael was born. IU honored his birthday with a concert at noon Nov. 21 in Morrison Hall.

“If you have heard ‘Georgia on My Mind,’ you heard a Hoagy tune,” said Allison McClanahan, the librarian at the Archives of Traditional Music.

One of his famous songs, “Stardust,” was written here at IU. Carmichael, who died in 1981, was walking on campus when he had a moment of inspiration, McClanahan said.

“He ran to the Book Nook across the street where BuffaLouie’s is right now and got on the piano and played it,” McClanahan said.

Ensembles from the Jacobs School of Music and the folklore and ethnomusicology department gathered in the Hoagy Carmichael Room, located in

Morrison Hall, to perform some of Carmichael’s classic songs, such as “Stardust,” “Georgia on My Mind” and “Buttermilk Sky.” Rachel Caswell, 46, performed “Skylark” at the concert. She said Carmichael created interesting forms and catchy hooks, and he knew how to form harmonious tones. Caswell said “Skylark” had interesting turns and could sound out of place if missed.

“The same things that make the song beautiful is the same thing that makes the song difficult,” Caswell said.

Thomas Hustad, 74, is a retired business professor who taught product development. He said two factors — economic sustainability and artistic integrity — are important for jazz musicians trying to create music people are interested in.

“The ultimate beauty of a composer is to create a foundation for future artists, so that the music is repurposed, personalized and never dies,” Hustad said.

What to listen for around Bloomington this December

By Grace Abushalback gabushal@iu.edu

As the school semester comes to a close, the month of December presents an array of concerts in Bloomington.

This includes the musical stylings of the a cappella group Straight No Chaser; an intimate guitarist and singer from Indiana, Ross David; a local Black Sabbath cover band called Hole in the Sky; and Laura Stevenson, an alternative singer hailing from New York.

Straight No Chaser A well-renowned a cappella group that got its start at IU in 1996 comes back to perform in Bloomington for the group’s Open Bar Tour.

Finding virality in its YouTube video of “The 12 Days of Christmas,” the group signed a five-album record deal with Atlantic Records in 2008.

With renditions of holiday tunes and major hits, its show at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 13 in the IU Auditorium will celebrate more than two decades of the ensemble since the group formed.

Hole in the Sky Hole in the Sky, a tribute band to Black Sabbath performs at 9 p.m. Dec. 29 at the Bluebird. Black Sabbath is a dark, heavy metal group that originated in Birmingham, UK and rose to fame in the 70s.

Ross David

One of Indiana’s own is set to play at 9 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Tap. With his popular, and widely streamed hit “Fire Burnin’” and six independently released EPs, David brings a romantic and soulful style to songs, along with his guitar playing. David provides uplifting melodies and personable lyrics.

Laura Stevenson New York musician Laura Stevenson will perform at 9 p.m. Dec. 12 at the Bishop.

Stevenson comes from a musical background as her grandfather composed musical scores such as “The Little Drummer Boy” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?” Her grandmother also had musical roots and was a singer for the notable jazz bandleader

Eugene V. Debs is the socialist icon we need in 2020

We’re just two months away from the first Democratic primaries and caucuses for the 2020 presidential election. One generational trend is setting the stage to make 2020 different: young people love socialism. Two-thirds of millennials would vote for a socialist, and Generation Z reacts to the word “socialism” just as positively as “capitalism.”

Who should newfound socialists look to as a model in 2020?

Bernie Sanders? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Our columnists at the Indiana Daily Student suggest a Hoosier name: Eugene V. Debs.

Debs — from Terre Haute, Indiana — helped found one of the largest labor unions in the US. He ran for president as a Socialist five times in the early twentieth century, back when the word “socialist” was less taboo. He won 6% of the vote in 1912, the year that the Socialist Party held its national convention in Indianapolis with a platform that called for a minimum wage and an end to child labor. In 1920, he ran for president from prison.

In short, Eugene V. Debs is the socialist icon we need in 2020.

He has stated in the past that Eugene V. Debs is one of his greatest inspirations and even has a portrait of the man hanging on the wall in his office.

Debs is perhaps best known for his work fighting for labor unions, opposing corporations and opposing World War I. Many of his endeavors landed him in prison, but he continued to fight and even ran for president five times, once from prison.

These are issues that are important to Sanders as well, with his campaign issues ranging from Medicare for all, workplace democracy, taxes on the rich and responsible foreign policy. Their core goal is the same, and that is to fight inequality in all of its forms.

These goals have been fought for by the activist movements of the 20th century, but the most prominent figures, or at least the ones to which the media gave attention, did not always organize in the context of socialism.

The Red Scare brought government officials cracking down hard on any socialist organization and the subsequent Cold War created a strong negative connotation with the word

“socialism,” tying it directly to the negative Western view of the Soviet Union.

No matter the goal or who was fighting, socialism was a bad and scary word in mainstream American politics. This is not to say there were not socialists at all, because there were many, but they found themselves silenced by the government.

Luckily, Sanders is not afraid of fighting to bring socialism back to the American political stage, and he has a large audience. He is campaigning against estab-

lishment Democrats that are backed by billionaires and build their campaigns on neoliberalism, as is par for the course, but this proves a stark and obvious contrast — Sanders, much like Debs, is fighting for the equality of the people instead of for his own selfinterest.

It’s difficult to break out of the political box the U.S. has created in which everyone should work only for their self-interest, picking themselves up by their bootstraps and working for individual wealth.

The truth is, it’s not realistic in a country in which so many barriers to equality exist.

This is what Debs fought for and what Sanders, and many activists even more radical than him, continue to fight for, because if compassion for other people isn’t at the core of your political beliefs, then what is the point? Debs said, “I am for socialism because I am for humanity. We have been cursed with the reign of gold long enough.” emmagetz@iu.edu

BASSETT’S BANTER

The inalienable right to work must be protected James Bassett is a junior in political science.

“As the rosebud under the influence of sunshine and shower opens, so does my heart receive your benedictions this afternoon.”

Eugene V. Debs, upon receiving the presidential nomination of the Socialist Party in 1908, extended his thanks to the audience that assembled in Girard, Kansas.

Hoosier Socialist Eugene V. Debs recognized in his 1908 acceptance speech that the United States requires bold leadership driven by the interests of the working classes, not the interests of those at the top of the social ladder who climbed the rungs using money, power and well-connected networks. Eugene V. Debs recognized the needs of our nation in 1908. Those needs are still not met.

Wage inequality continues to grow, reaching a point that was prevalent before the Great Depression. Racial discrimination in the workplace continues to advantage the majority White population at the expense of employees belonging to any

racial minority. Debs feared these consequences of a failing capitalist economic system. His efforts to highlight the need to alter the course of the economy must not go unnoticed.

“Every man has the inalienable right to work,” Debs proclaims. “Here I stand, just as I was created.

I have two hands that represent my labor power. I have some bone and muscle and sinew and some energy. I want to exchange it for food and clothing and shelter. Between my right to apply my labor to the tools with which work is done there stands a man artificially created. He says, ‘No, no!’ Why not? ‘Be-

cause you cannot first make a profit for me.”

Instead of supporting a failing capitalist system rooted in economic inequality, Debs supported the inalienable right to work in the U.S. Not to get confused with the “right to work” legislation pursued by anti-union legislatures that hinders the ability of labor unions to collectively bargain, the “inalienable right to work” Debs supported provides individuals with fair access to the economic rewards produced by work and labor.

This is the leadership the nation thirsts.

“Now my friends,” Debs declared, “I am opposed

to the system of society in which we live today, not because I lack the natural equipment to do for myself, but because I am not satisfied to make myself comfortable knowing that there are thousands upon thousands of my fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life”. Almost 41,000 days have passed since these words were spoken, yet the inequality and struggle that Debs recognized over a century ago continues to plague the U.S. today.

In times of economic insecurity, wealth inequality and workplace discrimination, the inalienable right to work must be defended.

Smart public policy centered on labor union protections, mitigating income inequality, eliminating the gender pay gap and ridding the workplace of racial discrimination are essential facets of that inalienable right. The protection of such a principle can usher in an era of equality and economic fairness, just as Eugene V. Debs hoped to see 111 years ago. jambasse@iu.edu

Sixty percent of Americans cannot afford an unexpected expense of $1,000. This gross inequality is reminiscent of the economic inequality of the Gilded Age when industrial tycoons exploited millions of Americans to work in poor conditions for long hours and for low wages.

It was not until those like Indiana native Eugene V. Debs banded together with workers into unions and demanded comprehensive labor reforms that change took place. Although Debs had a prolific career in organized labor, his legacy has been somewhat diminished in Indiana as it has become a right to work state.

The wealthy have benefited off the weakened condition of unions; however, teacher unions are beginning to change that by standing up to unresponsive state governments and magnifying the systemic problems within our education system.

Nationwide union membership has significantly declined with only 10% of workers belonging to a union.

However, unions help increase wages and create a stronger middle class. A study from the Economic Policy Institute found that private-sector union decline since the late 1970s has contributed to substantial wage losses among workers who do not belong to a union.

Despite the decline in union membership there were 20 major labor strikes in 2018, the largest amount in over a decade. This resurgent labor movement has not come from beleaguered factory workers but from America’s educators.

The teacher strikes that occurred last year in Oklahoma and West Virginia started a chain reaction that led to teacher strikes in six other states. It is no surprise as to why they are rising up. Public school teachers receive low pay, work for long hours, and have many responsibilities both inside and outside the classroom.

Indiana ranks 51st in the nation regarding teacher pay with starting salaries as low as $30,000. One in five public school teachers have to work a second job just to make ends meet. Yet, teachers often have to pay hundreds of dollars for their own classroom school supplies.

U.S. school teachers work on average 12-16 hours a day for nine months, the other three months are spent planning curriculum. In addition to teaching, teachers sponsor extracurricular activities and many act as de facto counselors on the front lines of a growing mental health crisis in America’s youth.

Whether it be the Pullman car workers of the 1890s or the public-school teachers of today, unions are the best way to ensure workers receive the respect and dignity they deserve.

For example, last month, Chicago public school teachers went on an 11-day strike after reporting issues of low pay to asbestos in classrooms. The strike ended in $1.5 billion concessions that will go toward pay raises and to reduce overcrowding in schools.

On Nov. 19, over 16,000 teachers rallied at the Indiana Statehouse, canceling lessons in 147 school districts. The Indiana teacher’s union is asking the state to allocate part of the state’s more than $2 billion surplus to schools and pass a hold-harmless provision to protect teachers and schools from any negative consequences related to low 2019 ILEARN test scores.

Basically, Hoosier teachers want a fair and livable wage, and steady funding to address student needs that is not at the mercy of standardized test scores.

House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Greenfield, said “We get it. We get that you’re frustrated. We get that you are concerned.” He added that teacher pay would probably have to wait until the next budget writing session, in 2021. Bosma’s words are not a sufficient substitute for educators’ demands.They have been asking for this much needed change since January, which led to a rally of 1,000 teachers at the Statehouse in March 2019.

This is just another attempt by the Republican dominated legislature to stall education reforms. The Republican Party, both nationally and in Indiana, has continually sided with business interests over public schools.

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos consistently pushes to expand federal vouchers and cut education spending. She unveiled a bill in March 2019 that would invest $50 billion in private school vouchers for over 10 years. She also supports President Trump’s plan to cut education spending by $8.5 billion in 2020. This would eliminate essential programs that include teacher development and after school activities.

Over the next two years in Indiana, the state will increase funding for charter schools by 20% compared to 4% for public schools. Furthermore, during the last legislative session, Gov. Eric Holcomb changed the elected state school superintendent to a governor appointed position, suppressing teacher input in the formation of education policy and replacing it with whomever the governor appoints.

Charter schools often end up benefiting the rich and powerful like DeVos and Holcomb. They are funded by taxpayer dollars but managed by private companies that prioritize profits over education. These profits can then be funneled into campaign contributions to politicians to continue to cut regulations around charter schools.

Eugene V. Debs helped workers around the nation realize their rights by using a worker’s most powerful weapon–the labor strike. The Red for Ed movement, in a way, has become a revival of Debs’ legacy in a political and economic climate where the rights of the working class have once again been trampled on by the rich and powerful.

Hopefully, the recent demonstrations led by teachers will inspire workers in other industries headed by multibillionaires like Gates and Bezos to unite and demand better treatment. ianowlin@iu.edu

second grader. In between the crinkles of Kleenex lay a small white bear, carved out of soap.

The girl gingerly took it out of Curry’s hands and pulled it to her chest. Close to her heart.

Then, her darling arrived.

The little girl and her foster sister were the type of raggedy that only comes from a day of violent coloring and playing with other 2-year-olds.

Curry had known the child since she was a month old. She’d met with her birth parents, visited each one in jail. She’d worked with two foster homes and two case managers. She’d testified in court that the child had gone from shy and withdrawn to bubbly and adventurous.

She’d shown the judge photos of the child with her foster family.

She’d written reports advising Judge Galvin that the child had waited long enough for her biological parents to shape up, and she needed to be adopted.

She’d watched as the child moved from her first foster home into this one, the one that, if all went well, would become permanent.

Early on, the foster parents had gotten nervous about the chaos of adopting this child and another toddler, too. It was a lot to deal with. They wondered aloud if they were doing the right thing.

I just have one question, Curry told them. “Do you love her?”

That was more than a year ago. The foster parents were about to become the girl’s forever parents.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 tion of the time.

Now, the cases have slowed, a direct result of Indiana DCS opening fewer cases.

A report released by the Child Welfare Policy and Practice Group last year on Indiana DCS included many negative impressions, including the number of children that were removed from their homes. The state has grown stricter about what constitutes grounds for removal.

This has caused the number of cases and children on the CASA waiting list to go down, but it has also left many children in situations considered unsafe a year ago.

It’s going to take children dying for this to change, said Monroe County CASA director Kristin Bishay. * * * Curry scuffled through a play room lined with gym mats and bunny art, through the kitchen and into the living room, pushing past a red baby swing.

She lowered herself onto a red couch that had three Goldfish crackers stuck in the cushions.

“Trouble with these damn things,” Curry said.

“I sit down, and I can’t get back up.”

Now that she was permanently stationed, she made conversation with a foster dad and his daughter.

Curry reached deep into her blue purse, pulling out a crumpled tissue and unfolded it in front of the family’s biological daughter, a

Horoscope

When the girls slinked off their foster mom’s lap, Curry saw an opportunity.

She reached back into her purse and pulled out two more soap teddy bears.

“A bear!” her CASA child said, holding it up to show her foster parents.

A smile spread across Curry’s face. * * * Curry’s daughter Carrie Snapp, 60, knows her mother loves the job, even though Curry can’t talk about it with her unless prompted. Even then, she can only share small details, so as to protect the children in her care.

Over the years, judges, caseworkers, volunteers and peers have approached Snapp to compliment her mother. Curry’s passion for kids earned her a nomination for National CASA of the Year in 2012.

She is respected, she is adored. But she is now almost nine decades old.

Her hearing is getting worse. She doesn’t like driving at night. She’s getting older.

Snapp’s gut feeling is that Curry wants to step away because she doesn’t feel she can do the job as well as she used to, or as well as the children deserve.

Curry doesn’t have a better answer.

“Don’t ask me why,” she said.

She just woke up one day and knew it was time.

Still, Snapp thinks of her mother as a person who loves to interact with children. The person who, just a few years ago, rocked her step-great-grandson

to sleep and sang the same song Snapp heard when she was still small enough to fit in her mother’s arms.

“Hello, honey-bunny.

Hello, sweetie pie. Hello, sugar plum. It’s time to go to sleep.” * * * The clock struck 5. It was time for her visit to end.

She pushed up from the couch, looked around the room, walked past the red swing into the kitchen and stood there for a second as she, for the last time, watched the children with their family. It was enough to make her melt.

“Goodbye,” Curry said.

“Goodbye, sweetie.” She pushed the girl’s blonde bangs back for one last look.

She wanted to stay, but she was tired.

“They’re darling,” she said. “But they’re a lot of work.”

As she walked out the door and down the driveway, the littlest girl ran to the window and waved.

Adoption day. Her last as a CASA. The snow was piled at least three inches on top of the car.

Curry was not prepared.

“If this were any other day I would’ve stayed inside,” she said, scraping snow using three envelopes from cards she received at her CASA retirement party.

By the time she’d gotten help chipping the ice, popped open the doors, checked the heat, grabbed the hat she’d forgotten, driven to the courthouse (one hand on the emergency

This day, Nov. 12, also happened to be National Adoption Day, which meant a waiting room full of adoptive families. To celebrate, representatives from DCS had brought lemonade, grapes, strawberries, apple slices, crackers and cupcakes. The kids clutched red balloons.

“The least they could do is have some coffee,” Curry said.

After all, she had woken up at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 a.m. that morning because she was afraid her alarm wouldn’t go off. After 5, she had just stayed up.

It was worth it to ensure she made it to the last official time she would see her girl.

Families filed in, settled down, took pictures in matching T-shirts. CASA employees, attorneys and Judge Galvin, walked over to say hello and congratulate her.

At 9:54 a.m., Curry’s last CASA darling and her family walked into the waiting area.

Peekaboo!

In the courtroom, while the foster parents were raising their right hands and promising to furnish their child with love and affection, the little girl whose life was changing was preoccupied with the red balloon on a stick.

She bounced it on the desk, hit it against her foster sister’s matching balloon and bent the stick until it broke.

She mouthed the words along with them as they swore to protect their new baby girl. She laughed when the mom messed up her wedding date, and when her husband corrected her.

When she was called on

by Judge Galvin to confirm that her last CASA baby would be safe and cared for, she didn’t hesitate to say yes.

Then, that was it.

The rest of it was a blur of hugs, pictures, congratulations and goodbyes.

There were no tears.

“It’s been a wonderful, fulfilling 25 years,” Curry said.
