Unrest in the forest
IDS NOBLE GUYON | IDS
Loggers Kevin Pool, center, and Gary Watkins look up at the canopy for the next tree to cut at a logging site on the east side of Indianapolis on Dec. 2. “I’m always looking up,” Pool said. “You see that? That’s what they call a widow maker.”
Amid rising deforestation, Brown County logger defends responsible practice By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu | @achryssovergis
When he finally saws through the last fibers, the great beast starts to fall. Before the oak hits the ground, Kevin Pool drops the chainsaw and runs like hell in the opposite direction, boots crunching, body jolting. The tree hits the forest floor with a booming thud, and its branches thrash out, forcing leaves on the ground to burst in a flurry. A grin breaks across Pool’s face. Out of harm’s way. Pool’s career has spanned 30 years and about 30,000 logged trees, but every time he cuts another big one, he still has to run. On this Friday morning in early December, Pool and another logger are felling trees in some woods outside of Indianapolis’ east side. But they’re not going to remove the logs today. Pool knows it’s too muddy to use his heavy equipment, for fear of ripping up the soft earth. Being a logger, there’s always more to learn. Pool, 47, has to know how to cut timber so that its fall doesn’t crush smaller trees. He has to know how to operate his heavy, dangerous machinery, like bulldozers and grapple skidders. He has to know what different types of wood will be worth, how to identify a mature tree from a young one, how to clean up his messes when he’s done. He should be fit, and not too heavy, but not too scrawny, either.
“You gotta be part Tarzan, part Einstein, mostly Jesus Christ,” Pool says. “And if everything works out for you, you’ll survive.” Throughout his career, Pool’s been trying to do the job as responsibly as he can. But these days, logging is more controversial than ever. There’s a war raging over Indiana’s forests, and Pool’s in the middle. * * * The war is about politics, nature, money. Some want to preserve the forest’s beauty while others want to capitalize on its wealth. Some think the forest should be maintained and altered to help its growth while some others think it should be left untouched. On one side, loggers tell tales of protesters throwing Coke cans at their heads, cussing them out, urinating on their expensive equipment. On the other, protesters tell tales of their hikes being disrupted by ugly swaths of brown and gray devastation. They watch what is practically their backyard disappear before their eyes. They put their forest treks on hold while trails close for weeks at a time. Since 2001, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources has been steadily increasing the amount of trees it sells to loggers to cut down. The money loggers pay for the trees at sales each year has increased five-
Team collaborates in new emergency management plan By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta
A subject with a gun fled toward campus Aug. 19, tornado warnings flashed on phones and buses Aug. 24, and a student was robbed near Dunn’s Woods on Sept. 27. Meanwhile, IU-Bloomington Emergency Management and Continuity was a one-man show. “That got old real quick,” EMC director Ken Long said. Long has been with the department since its formation and has served as assistant director, but the director position and being alone were new to him. He needed a team. Steve Balko, who worked as an emergency management coordinator during the beginning of the semester at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, came down to help
plan residence hall evacuation drills. He would soon be Long’s assistant director. Alison Sinadinos, who worked as an IU assistant residence manager, learned about security planning and worked with IU Police Department and crisis management in her time at Forest Quad. She would soon be one of Long’s emergency management coordinators. Jim Garlits, who had recently retired after 20 years with the National Guard, understood the mechanics of emergency management. He would soon be the other coordinator. The new team officially assembled Oct. 17. Now, several weeks into working together, they’ve settled into a collaborative dynamic.

fold, from slightly more than half a million dollars in 2001 to just less than $3 million in 2015. The total number of trees sold in 2015 is almost six times as many as were sold less than two decades before. The economic impact of Indiana’s forest and hardwood industry comes to a grand total of $13.5 billion, according to a June 2016 report done by the DNR Division of Forestry and the Indiana Department of Agriculture. In total, the industry employs 30,845 people. Pool’s been around to watch the changes roll in. Ever since his father opened up Helmsburg Sawmill in 1973, Pool’s whole family has been a part of the profession. The mill, in Nashville, Indiana, and this job have been his entire life, and he’s been working as a logger full time since he was 17. Some of the biggest changes he’s seen have come in the form of the politics. It’s the increase in the number of trees cut down in state forests, the DNR foresters who designate huge swaths of Indiana state forests for clearcutting, which is where loggers who contract with the DNR saw down every tree from one segmented bit of land rather than picking and choosing. Pool and his crew don’t do excessive clearcuts or leave behind messes like inexperienced loggers may. He’s built a respectable name in this business. Logging opponents say the changes began with past SEE LOGGING, PAGE 6

Women encouraged to wear hijab Saturday By Lydia Gerike lgerike@umail.iu.edu | @lydi_yeah
Women of all religions will have a chance this Saturday to show solidarity with friends and neighbors who choose to wear a head covering. Those who do not wear a hijab in their daily lives are being encouraged through a Facebook event, “A Day in Her Hijab,” to put one on to understand the experiences of their Muslim peers who choose to practice this show of modesty. The idea has made its rounds to IU and its Muslim community through social media. “I think wearing a hijab is a much bigger statement than wearing a safety pin,” said Jenan Matari , the Facebook event’s creator, in a Facebook message. “It really throws you into glimpse of the daily experiences of a Muslim woman. What better way to experience life as a Muslim woman than to go out in public in hijab and record your experiences/how it made you feel?” The hijab is a headscarf worn by Muslim women to display modesty in accordance with their interpretation of Islam. It is usually
accompanied by modest clothing as well. Americans sometimes associate the article of clothing with oppression, but most Muslims usually do not consider this to be the case for themselves. IU senior Fariha Hossain, who chooses to wear a hijab, said she wants to share the event on Facebook to encourage more people to participate. it is not offensive for non-Muslims to wear a head covering on Saturday to try to experience what others deal with every day, she said. She has friends who often want to try on a hijab if they find it in her room. Sometimes they are afraid it might be inappropriate for them, but Hossain encourages them to try it. “It’s literally just a piece of cloth,” Hossain said. “It’s a really supportive and open-minded idea.” Matari created and shared the Facebook event to help others better understand the community. The safety pin was worn by many people after the election as a way to show support and acceptance of groups that are afraid of statements President-elect
Donald Trump has made against them. Matari said she believes wearing a hijab is a better way for people to show solidarity with minorities and learn to be a better ally. Hossain wears a hijab every day and has since she was a junior in high school. For her, it is a sign of both modesty and her trust in God. Hossain said she originally began to consider wearing the hijab at her Muslim Youth of North America camp where she was very involved as a teen. “There are some people in my life that assumed my parents forced me to do it, but they’ve never mentioned it,” Hossain said. Since the election, Hossain said the reaction from her friends has been mostly positive, and many show concern for her well-being. “People who aren’t Muslim reach out to me,” Hossain said. “They want to be there as much as they can.” Sophomore Iman Mahoui, who said she has worn a hijab for five years, has found her headscarf helps her connect with others post-election. The day after Trump was elected, Mahoui went
to Starbucks and talked to a barista who often works when she goes. She said he was able to relate to her because he is gay, and he gave her a free drink as a sign of compassion. Mahoui said she liked that her hijab helped her stand out in a positive way. “Both of us have felt, as minorities in America, this political hurt in our society,” Mahoui said. Mahoui said she is proud of her religion and the way she dresses. Some people believe it is a sign of oppression, but more often than not, it is the choice of each individual woman. “Just talk to a hijabi,” Mahoui said. “Do they sound oppressed? Most of the time, it empowers us.” She thinks wearing a hijab for a day will help more people understand the self-consciousness that can sometimes accompany it, she said. It may also encourage those who participate to start conversations with their friends who might not know about the event. “It’s an amazing form of sharing information, sharing knowledge, sharing compassion,” Mahoui said.
Journalist to speak at IU winter commencement From IDS reports
About 1,933 students will graduate at IU’s winter commencement on Dec. 17 and have the opportunity to hear Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Linda Greenhouse speak. Greenhouse is a journalist-in-resident at Yale Law School, where she specializes in the Supreme Court and writes a biweekly opinion column for the New York Times. “Linda Greenhouse is an esteemed journalist, whose numerous major awards include a Pulitzer Prize, and one of the nation’s pre-eminent authorities on the U.S. Supreme Court,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in an IU press release. Greenhouse graduated from Radcliffe College at Harvard University. Since then she has earned many awards and prizes and is one of only two non-lawyers to be granted an honorary membership in the American Law Institute. She also has 11 honorary degrees.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, former Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Indiana, and two of his successors will be discussing Friday work toward reducing amounts of nuclear and chemical weapons around the world. The program began in December 1991 at the end of the Cold War when the Soviet Threat Reduction Act was enacted. Lugar and former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Georgia, worked together to establish the act, which would help former Soviet states disassemble their weapons of mass destruction. “It’s not a matter of Republican and Democrat. It’s a matter of safe or not, and that’s what they did,” director of communications and marketing Chuck Carney said. Lugar and his successors, Sen. Joe Donnelly, RIndiana, and Senator-elect Todd Young, R-Indiana, will be interacting with students at a panel at 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Global and International Studies Building auditorium. The talk is sponsored by the School of Global and International Studies and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Provost Lauren Robel will introduce the panelists,

and Lee Feinstein, dean of the SGIS, will moderate. A few selected IU students will be able to speak with the panelists, and there will be a reception after the discussion. Both Nunn and Lugar recognized the Cold War had created huge arsenals in the United States and former Soviet Union. Steve Hinnefeld, an IU news and media specialist who has been researching and blogging about the topic, said either side was ready to destroy the other. This came to be known as mutually assured destruction. If either side were to launch a nuclear attack, the other would launch theirs as well, Hinnefeld said. “It’s not like there’s no threat now, but threat of an accident happening was lessened,” Hinnefeld said. More than 7,600 nuclear warheads have been deactivated in the last 25 years. Thanks to the program, chemical weapons have been neutralized and former facilities for weapons have been repurposed for peaceful use. Former scientists and engineers have also redirected efforts away from nuclear development. More than 40 countries have been involved in controlling and reducing the amount of these weapons of mass destruction. Carney, who has been

working to make this program possible, said Donnelly’s office had been key in bringing these three men together for the panel discussion. The 25th anniversary of this program and the program are a big attraction, Carney said. “It’s a significant milestone,” Carney said. Carney invited students, faculty and staff to come and hear the discussion. He said listening to these three men talk together is not an everyday occurrence. Lugar has the record for longest-serving member of Congress in Indiana history. He served from 19772013. He is a professor of practice at the School of Global and International Studies. Lugar has traveled to regions where nuclear weapon issues were prevalent following the Cold War and still continue to be important to maintain today, Carney said. “Lugar is just simply a treasure,” Carney said. “He’s a treasure for Indiana, a national treasure, and in this case, an international treasure.”
Asian tour From IDS reports
IU President Michael McRobbie is leading a delegation of faculty from multiple IU campuses through China and South Korea for speaking engagements and alumni gatherings. The trip began Dec. 2, according to a press release from IU newsroom. On Thursday, McRobbie signed a cooperative agreement with one of the oldest, most prestigious Chinese universities, Beijing Normal University. He will also sign an agreement between Tsinghua University, often called the MIT of China, and the School of Engineering and Technology at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis. IUPUI’s Transportation Active Safety Institute intends to begin working with Tsinghua’s Department of Automotive Engineering on researching autonomous cars. “It is one example of the international engagement demonstrated by our faculty and through IU’s mission, which links us with some of the best universities all around the world, including many across Asia,” McRobbie said in the press release. There are more than 3,200 students from China enrolled
A combination of increasingly shorter days, cold weather and the advent of finals can often cause stress in students at the end of the semester. For freshmen making the transition from high school, the effect can be more intense than it is for older students. However, despite resources, such as those provided by Counseling and Psychological Services, offered by IU and designed to handle stress some freshmen shy away and elect to handle exam stress on their own. “I’ve been losing hair and smoking a lot of cigarettes,” said Betsy Snider, a freshman studying biology. “I don’t know how to cope with this kind of stress yet. I’m used to being given study guides for all my classes. I had my hand held. Now I’m learning how to study for a big test on my own without physical guides.” Freshmen who were used to coasting through classes in high school may find themselves having a more difficult experience at IU. “I can’t eat, and I haven’t slept in three days,” said Haley Eastwood, a freshman studying social work. “I study now. It takes preparation now, while in high school I could pass my finals pretty easily.” Some students said they do not have time to visit a counselor or attend a workshop and would rather take unscheduled breaks on their own time. “I’ve been going on walks to take breaks from studying, which proves to be difficult in this kind of weather,”
Snider said. “I feel like I get to take a breather and refresh my brain a little bit. I don’t have the time to get up and walk to the health center to talk to someone about de-stressing and breathing techniques.” Others force themselves to stop procrastinating while they study by setting alarms or cutting themselves off after a certain time limit. “I’ll schedule a computer update for thirty minutes in the future so I can only watch Netflix for thirty minutes and then my computer will cut me off,” Eastwood said. As classes begin to wrap up and the end of the semester nears, posters begin showing up around campus to remind struggling students of their two free counseling sessions with CAPS. In addition to the traditional counseling sessions, CAPS and the IU Health Center sponsor free workshops that deal with topics such as stress, sleep, self-compassion and procrastination. Other students combat these issues in their own way because they say they do not trust CAPS. “I’m afraid they’re actually going to charge me, that their free thing is a lie,” Eastwood said. “You only get two, so you can’t make a lot of progress in two psychological visits.” Despite an unwillingness to make a visit herself, Snider said she thinks other students should make a dedicated appointment to meet with a counselor if they feel overwhelmed. “People should take advantage of a therapist,” she said. “The health center has plenty of resources. I feel like I should. It’s a healthier option than smoking.”

Yule Ball to offer magical evening at IMU By Christina Winfrey cawinfre@umail.iu.edu
Students attending the third annual Yule Ball can expect to have a night full of fun and magic, said Kaila Messerli, Union Board activities and events program coordinator. The event, taking place from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, will consist of food, performances and dancing in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall. It is modeled after the Yule Ball from “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” Messerli said. “We’re going to have everything from the floating candles on the ceiling to our sorting hat there, so people can get sorted into their Hogwarts houses,” Messerli said. There will also be Harry Potter-themed foods like Snitch-shaped cake pops and Butterbeer, Messerli said. This is the event’s third year. What started as a project between the Harry Potter Society, Quidditch Club and Union Board has now become an event that includes a wide variety of campus and Bloomington groups, including IU Ballet and the IU Ballroom Dance Club, Messerli said. She said a ballet group, a break dance group and a cappella group Resting Pitch Face will perform at this year’s event. The IU Ballroom Dance Club will
also give a performance. Messerli said the Yule Ball is first and foremost a dance. Throughout the night students can dance to a variety of music. Junior Jess Horwitz heard about the ball from one of her sorority sisters who is on the Union Board. She said she decided to buy a ticket because it seemed like it would be a great way to spend time with her friends before she leaves to study abroad next semester. “My friends and I are kind of using this as a last hurrah before finals,” Horwitz said. “I also grew up loving Harry Potter and knew that this event would be so fun.” More than 300 students have already purchased tickets for the Yule Ball, Messerli said. Tickets will be sold for $10 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Friday in the Union Board office or for $15 at the door. Messerli said she has been working on this event for months alongside other Union Board members and IU student groups. She said she hopes the event will encourage students to take a break from studying for their final exams and relax. “I think it’s a good way to just kind of remind yourself, ‘OK, college is great and classes are important, but there’s also enough time to have fun, too,’” Messerli said.

IU Health Center receives tobacco-free grant By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu
Thousands of dollars are being poured into the IU Health Center’s budget in an effort to promote a tobacco-free campus culture. Just last month, the health center was chosen as one of 20 college and university health centers across the nation to partake in the American Cancer Society and the CVS Health Foundation’s Tobacco-Free Generation Campus Initiative. The health center has received a $20,000 grant as part of this program in order to extend and better the current tobacco-free policies set forth by the University. The center hopes to achieve a 100-percent smoke- and tobacco-free campus, according to the health center’s blog. IU’s anti-tobacco policies have been in place since 2008, assistant director of disease prevention Cathy Wyatt said. In 2012,
this policy was revamped to include electronic cigarettes. “Our policy basically says all the things we want it to say but we don’t have any policing,” Wyatt said. “There’s really no way to manage that and navigate a process, but the policy
“I love getting feedback from students and what they think would work better because it’s not about being outside of the box. It’s about being immersed in that generation and when you’re outside of it, it’s hard,” Cathy Wyatt, IU assistant director of disease prevention
says that on campus, staff, students and faculty can smoke in their cars. Then
they allotted for designated areas on campus.” Despite the assignment of cigarette-designated areas, it’s a continuous struggle to keep students, in particular, within these areas, as many stray outside of them to other parts of campus. “Ballantine has been a really tough area,” health center marketing director Mandy Hussey said. The health center currently has a peer educator program to facilitate the dispersion of information and resources to the student population. Hussey said the peer educators are trained in bystander prevention. These educators are generally located at the Union at the literature desk and their job is to talk, in a non-confrontational way, to passing students about sexual health and how to be tobacco-free. Both Wyatt and Hussey agreed using students to educate fellow students on
health comes across less critically and authoritatively than if they relied solely on faculty. “I love getting feedback from students and what they think would work better because it’s not about being outside of the box, it’s about being immersed in that generation and when you’re outside of it, it’s hard,” Wyatt said. “That’s why we use the peer educators.” However, the two still said they think there’s more to achieve here at IU. The recent grant will be used towards two areas in particular. Primarily, it will employ one person dedicated entirely to the program’s efforts, including new activities and the timeline for events. The initiative will spread to other colleges and universities during a three-year span, according to the blog. Marketing is also another key area for remaining funds. The slogan, “Clear

the Air: Refresh IU,” is the face of the new program efforts. T-shirts and water bottles already sport the catchphrase “Kiss Me, I’m Tobacco-Free.” The health center has also created “Quit Kits” for students who are starting their tobacco-free journey. The kits include anything from nicotine gum, to stress balls to straws to help with the hand-to-mouth habit. These kits are usually available through outreach programs, but fliers and additional information can always be found in the IU Health Center or Indiana Memorial Union. Wyatt and Hussey said they are excited to begin their work on the new initiative with CVS and their campus initiative. “I’m thrilled CVS has taken the approach it’s taken and the partnership with the American Cancer Society,” Wyatt said. “I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”
at IU, and there are more than 5,800 alumni living in China. According to the press release, IU hopes to continue sending students to both countries on study abroad programs. IU has more than 4,600 alumni living in South Korea, according to the press release. Many of them are part of the Korean Alumni Association, which is currently celebrating its 30-year anniversary. Those joining McRobbie on the trip are David Zaret, IU vice president for international affairs; Lee Feinstein, dean of the School of Global and International Studies; and Laurie Burns McRobbie, IU’s first lady. Also on the trip are administrators from the Maurer School of Law, the Kelley School of Business, the School of Education and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at IU-Bloomington, as well as the School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI.

Middle Way continues local outreach By Julia Bourkland jsbourkl@umail.iu.edu @js_bourkland
In the 1980s, a campaign for international human rights sprouted from highlighted instances of domestic violence and sexual assault around the world. The campaign was called “Thursdays in Black” and was a way for people to support women’s right to live in a world without violence, rape and fear. It later sparked the annual event Purple Thursday, which took place Oct. 20, 2016, for the 11th time, for Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the United States. Middle Way House, a shelter in Bloomington for those affected by domestic violence and sexual assault, is one of many organizations that celebrated Purple Thursday. In addition to celebrating Purple Thursday, Middle Way House has coordinated many other sexual violence prevention events and programs this year. An education and advocacy center for the community, Middle Way House’s work continues beyond Domestic Violence Awareness Month and through postelection tension. Established as a nonprofit in 1971, Middle Way House’s model prioritizes strength-building. It is one of six National Model Domestic Violence programs. Middle Way House’s work with clients emphasizes achieving stability and independence from abusive relationships. “We work on an empowerment model and want victims to make the choices that are best for themselves,” community programs coordinator Debra Morrow said.

disproportionate effects on women, Morrow said. According to a 2011 report by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in three Indiana women have been affected by violence within an intimate partnership. Throughout October, Middle Way House had events to raise awareness of domestic violence and raise funds to support survivors. Among them were the XO Variety Show at the Bishop, which featured a lineup of local artists and performers; a panel on abuse and technology at the IU School of Global and International Studies; and other fundraisers throughout town. The organization also had its Eighth Anniversary Benefit Show at the Comedy Attic. Jesse Eisenberg, who works with the organization, was the host of the show. In November, Middle
Way House was host to Hands Across the Trail, a rally to fight against sexual assault violence in public spaces around Bloomington. The rally emphasized the importance of bystander intervention and included speakers such as professor Dawn Johnsen of the Maurer School of Law and former Rachael’s Cafe owner Rachael Jones. “The election has made people more insecure, and, as an agency, we want people to recognize that we will work to end violence in our community,” Morrow said. Middle Way House is a member agency of the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence in Indianapolis. Colleen Yeakle, prevention initiatives coordinator of ICADV, said the coalition maintains supportive relationships with domestic violence prevention centers
Hamilton to provide city-wide internet From IDS reports
Mayor John Hamilton announced Thursday Bloomington and Axia, a telecommunication service provider, signed a letter of intent to develop a Gigabitclass fiber optic broadband service in Bloomington. The service will be citywide and open-architecture, which allows community control of contractual provisions that encourages competition and open access so multiple providers can use the city-wide system, according to a Mayor’s office press release. The system will also be financially feasible. “I have spoken frequently about the important of Gigabit-class fiber optic broadband for our city,” Hamilton said in the press release. “Since January, I have worked with local and national experts to identify, attract and secure the right partner to provide the 21st century infrastructure. I am very pleased to announce today this major step

forward for economic development and quality of life in Bloomington.” Axia has previously developed fiber optic communications infrastructure in Canada, the United States, France and Singapore. Trends in the communications industry are pushing the need for open access fiber networks. This is especially increasing demand for high-performing digital connectivity, the growing number and variety of network connected devices, growth in demand for wireless data services and growing use of video and other applications on the web. Axia is projected to complete an engineering analysis by the end of March to plan and design the buildout of the fiber network. If this step goes well, Axia will conduct an expression of interest campaign to determine the number of residents and businesses interested in the planned service. When 40 percent of people are interested, Axia will start construction on
the network. The network is expected to include an investment of tens of millions of dollar during a 24 to 36 month period of build out for the city, according to the press release.

across the state by providing information, training and technical assistance. As parts of a statewide alliance network, ICADV and Middle Way House work closely together, she said. Morrow said Middle Way’s crisis line calls have increased since the election. The shelter has been tracking hate crime calls to make distinctions between reports reflecting patterned domestic violence and those reflecting hate crimes, she said. Yeakle said in the midst of intensified fears, it’s important to remember the perpetrators don’t represent the general sentiment. “The people who are participating in hate crimes are outliers,” she said. However, it’s important to take each act of violence seriously. “If we create connections in communities that prevent violence, we can stop other forms of violence,” she said.
These connections can also attract positive involvement for a range of social issues, she said. Yeakle said campaign initiatives in recent years have focused more on messages of connection and support and less on violence statistics. “We should be showing every person that they have a role to play,” she said. Morrow said that she wants those affected by violence of any kind to know the social service agencies of Bloomington are concerned and working for them. She said Middle Way House is continuing its prevention work as always in accordance with its mission statement. “The ultimate hope is that it’s not always just damage control when a situation arises,” Morrow said, “But that we can reach a point from preventing domestic violence.”
ISTEP changes coming during 2017 session By Katelyn Haas haask@indiana.edu | @khaas96
Steps are being taken to continue ISTEP, the current statewide assessment of Indiana students. The Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) measures student achievement in the subject areas of English and language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. A 23-person panel of educators and leaders recommended to continue the current ISTEP assessment for another two years. The plan recommends changes including less testing time, giving results back faster and moving the test to the end of the school year in May. The plan also includes working on a way to have the state fund the test during the day for high school students who may not have the means to take tests including the PSAT, SAT and ACT. Rep. Robert Behning-R, a house education policy leader, said only two people did not support the plan. “I think everybody was in agreement that that’s probably the best practice in terms of what’s right for kids and teachers,” Behning said. “We don’t want to rush it.” Behning said Hoosier teachers could play a part in the scoring of the next ISTEP assessment. He said this is part of the recommendation given by the panel. He said it could provide an opportunity for some developmental growth to see how other students in the state are doing. Kansas has taken this idea and put it into practice. They encouraged teachers to be a part of the scoring process to further professional development. Behning said they would compensate teachers to be a
part of this. “We wanted to develop a level of confidence in the teachers and the education community in terms of overall assessment.” Behning said. The plan was discussed and approved before Dec. 1, and now will be given to lawmakers for the 2017 General Assembly. The assembly is approaching a transition in education leaders including Yorktown superintendent Jennifer McCormick taking office as state superintendent of public instruction January 9. Behning said as a Republican she will hopefully be on board with more of the party’s goals and focus on students. He said Ritz at times seemed to look at her role in the department as the loyal opposition. He said he does not think McCormick will view that as her role. “I think Glenda thought herself as being, especially when she was first elected, she felt herself as being the individual who was supposed to try to tenor some of the wills and desires of the governor’s office and the general assembly,” Behning said. “I know that that’s not the role Jennifer sees at all.” Nicole Fama, chairwoman of the ISTEP review panel, said McCormick wanted the plan to be specific and Fama believes it is. Fama said the point of the commission and review panel was to say they know they have to test and assess students on grade level. She said they felt the plan they put out was the best plan. “It’s easy to get out into the streets and say ‘We hate testing!’, but the part that continues to be left out is it is required by federal law,” Fama said. “Because if you don’t test them, you don’t know what they know, that’s just the fact.”
Community members will tap into their sense of childhood next Thursday to discuss childhood conditions in Monroe County. The Youth Services Bureau of Monroe County, along with Building a Thriving Compassionate Community, will coordinate the first Monroe County Childhood Conditions Summit. Allison Zimpfer-Hoerr, a member of the Youth Services Bureau, said she is excited to kick off the event and gain feedback for next year. The event will bring youth workers, social service and health care providers, parents, educators, business leaders, and community members together at the Monroe County Convention Center to look at what conditions affect children in the community. “It’s been really exciting to have a summit that isn’t looking at a specific social problem,” Hoerr said. “We’re really excited to have a summit that focuses across different things.” The Youth Services Bureau of Monroe County works to provide services, programs and advocacy for youth and community education issues concerning the young people of Monroe County. They are working alongside BTTC, which began as a small group to discuss the effects of trauma in Monroe County. It focuses on how to prevent trauma and improve children’s and families’ lives, neighborhoods, and communities. These issues will include exploring local data, policies and practices that help children and families thrive within their community. The summit surrounds a framework called Essentials for Childhood set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Essentials for Childhood gives information on violence prevention and preventing child maltreatment. It is a guide to raise awareness and inform parents and community members on keeping a healthy child or family safe through policy. This guide has been a framework for the summit, according to the summit’s press release. Hoerr said it acknowledges when children have access and exposure to certain things in the environment they live in, including the neighborhoods they live in, the parks they have access to and relationships at home and with their peers. These have the potential to shape a child’s experience. “When they’re more supportive, consistent, kids have a greater chance to develop into thriving adults,” Hoerr said. “We’ve found when that happens there is a greater chance for them to grow up and raise their own thriving adults.” The summit will begin at 7 p.m. Dec. 14 with the Monroe County Youth Council led by teens in the community. They will look at what young people need to thrive and speak about what they wish leaders in the community knew about their needs. The kickoff will be at the Warehouse at 1525 S. Rogers St. in the upstairs meeting room. The summit will run from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Dec. 15. The cost, including breakfast and lunch, for the day is $15. Registration for the event closed Dec. 8. Hoerr said they hope attendees will leave compelled to have extra tools to contact legislators. However, she said just raising awareness on issues in the community is insufficient in creating any lasting change. She said their main goal is prevention. “Rather than solely providing information, we’ve added advocacy,” Hoerr said. “It’s when we change policy that we feel there’s that potential for greater and lasting change.”

» LOGGING
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. After he was elected in 2004, Daniels decided to cut off state agencies’ funding and demand that they become self-sufficient, so the department turned toward one of Indiana’s best industries to keep themselves afloat. Even the recent candidates for Indiana’s governor got involved in the sparring. Democrat John Gregg met with concerned forest advocates and declared the agency should halt and restructure its current strategic plan. But Republican Governor-elect Eric Holcomb said he sees no problem with how the DNR manages the forest. Pool said he tries to remain neutral about the politics because he doesn’t want to kick his own industry. But while he said he’s sure the DNR has reasons for its policies, he wouldn’t imitate some of those policies — like the excessive clearcuts in very visible, public places — in his own practice. At the mill, Pool does the logging, but his brother, Willy, is the mechanic. Their sister, Melanie, works the business side of the mill, managing the Facebook page and phone calls. And their dad, William, sits in a box and operates the mill for hours at a time. Even the kids’ mom, Susan, is there sometimes, bringing in tomatoes from their garden and tuna with crackers for lunch. It’s a full-on family affair. The sawmill itself is filled with tons of heavy machinery. First there’s the mill, the constant grinding of which echoes through the entire clearing when William is working on cutting up logs. When he takes his breaks, the lack of the noise settles with a heavy and peaceful silence. Sawdust and a deep, rich scent of wood creeps into every crevice of the place. The mill uses everything they can from the wood Pool brings in. Even the scraps that other logging companies would deem unusable can be sold as firewood. Pool gets jobs by word of mouth — “blessings from God,” he calls them. Walking through one 20acre swath of land in Nashville, it’s easy for Pool to point out the trees that are mature, bare and brittle, almost ready to fall over. He points to one giant with dead limbs on the bottom. “It’s not gonna grow any bigger,” Pool says. “It’ll keep other trees from growing bigger.” He’s logged this bit of land twice in the past 15 years, and it’s just as thick and green as any other bit of woods. That’s because Pool prefers to do select cuts — where he picks and chooses the trees he wants to saw down rather than cutting a bunch at once. Pool chooses trees that would soon fall on their own. It’s healthy for the forest. If the old, dying trees were left alone, they’d keep other, smaller trees from growing at all. When the giants are removed from the forest, more sunlight can filter through, which means more growth. Pool says he often brings potential clients out to this bit of land to show them his approach to the work. He also

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I’ve had a steep learning curve in the emergency management aspect, because I’ve worked emergencies through residence life for years, but learning the lingo here is a lot,” Sinadinos said. “The team has been providing me grace on time and figuring that out and me whispering questions when we’re in meetings or exercises.” Balko’s familiarity with emergency management and the Bloomington campus made his transition as smooth as it could have been, he said. “It made it easier, but it was still hectic because, getting all those drills accomplished in a timely fashion, we were way behind the power curve,” Long said. “If he hadn’t have been coming down prior to being hired in this position, we would have even been in worse shape.” Within a few weeks, they had caught up almost entirely. Right now the team is working on building-specific emergency action plans, Sinadinos said. “If things were in an ideal

Loggers Gary Watkins, left, and Kevin Pool tighten and sharpen the blade of the chainsaw after falling a tree. Pool is meticulous about his chainsaw, stopping almost every time he cuts a tree to tighten the blade and every several trees to re-sharpen the blades. Using a dull saw is dangerous and inefficient, Pool said.
likes to show off log cabins made from his wood to his customers, and this property conveniently has one of those, as well. It’s picturesque, with the quaint cabin nestled just at the edge of the trees and the woods sloping gently down into peaceful darkness. There’s even a cat roaming around. Brown County, Pool points out, used to be nothing but stumps around 100 years ago, when the forests were obliterated by clearcuts. A century after the clearcut devastation, Brown County’s forests have finally grown back. If trees grew like corn, it’d be no problem to chop them all down at once, Pool says. But instead, they grow inch by inch, one ring per year. * * * Dubois Ridge is ethereal in the sunlight. From the viewpoint of a driver speeding through, the Yellowwood State Forest road twists and turns, the sun filtering down through branches, glinting bright and then dimming as the trees filter the light. Then, around another curve, there’s a bit of land that’s been clearcut, and the sudden emptiness is jarring. One thick side of the forest sharply falls away — tall, leafy trees changing to stumps, with a few dead giants here or there. To an untrained eye, it’s difficult to separate weeds from new tree seedlings. It looks swampy, almost like a wasteland. David Seastrom climbs out of his car and starts to walk toward the clearcut. This bit of land was probably logged about two years ago, said Seastrom, an Indiana Forest Alliance member and advocate for the state forests, as he wades into the weeds. The forest floor isn’t completely bare, as it likely was once the logging was first completed. On the outskirts, deep tire tracks still dig into the mud, but only a few steps into the land and the ground is already completely covered. It’s tricky to walk even 20 feet without fear of falling into a hidden pothole or tripping over a concealed stump. year — so next year, when we start in August, as opposed to us starting in October this year — we’ll be getting them done earlier in the academic year,” she said. Coordinating involves the standard networking with people in charge of buildings around campus as well as the atypical. “It’s those random things that pop up, and that’s kind of the fun about emergency management,” Sinadinos said. “There’s no typical dayto-day kind of thing.” According to Long, maintaining situational awareness to keep campus safe relies both on scouring daily security reports and springing into action when an emergency occurs. When an attacker struck at Ohio State University and as fires raged in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the team came together and monitored those situations. They focused on supporting and learning from the emergency management teams in those crises. Today, IU EMC continues to review the procedures employed by those teams and compare them with its own. “We try not to make snap judgements, and whatever
Seastrom finds a surface to sit on and settles down, foliage swaying at his eye-level. Seastrom, 62, uses the same analogy Pool does to describe the clearcut logging method: that managing logging for maximum profit is the “cornfield approach.” When the DNR clears out an area of trees, it completely changes the ecology, Seastrom says. The entire food chain is disrupted. “When you do one thing, it affects the next thing,” he says. “And the next thing, and the next thing.” The forest’s workings, explained by Seastrom, are complex: equipment covered in mud from the last logging site can spread invasive species to the next site it’s taken to. Tracts off of Dubois Ridge are still bleeding topsoil. Kevin Pool and his family are the example of responsible logging, Seastrom says. They rarely do clearcuts and pay careful attention to their technique and the messes they leave behind. “This isn’t about a bunch of tree huggers saying, ‘Oh, don’t cut anything,’” Seastrom says. “It’s not about being against change. It’s about not managing something sustainably for the future.” The DNR has a strategic plan in place to best regrow places that have been recently logged. But there’s no enforcement of their management practices, Seastrom says. Who’s there to make sure the policies are carried out? At the edge of the clearing, the old forest starts again, a dense green line that stretches toward the sky. “What would it be like,” Seastrom says, “for our grandchildren to walk into a forest with 200-year old trees?” * * * When a logger buys a slot of land from an Indiana state forest, the exchange starts with an auction. The way it works is quiet. There’s no excitement of bidders calling out over each other, raising the price. Logging companies simply must submit their bids beforehand, handing them in envelopes to the foresters in charge. we do affects a lot of people,” Long said. “It’s not easy getting an entire university on one page, so all of us are putting our heads together along with public safety, police.” Within the new team, putting heads together means combining four distinct but complementary perspectives. For Sinadinos, her and Garlits’ differing backgrounds have been invaluable. “I think about the people we’re talking to, and he thinks about the processes we’re using,” she said. “We’re able to collaborate on that, so I don’t think it’s necessarily opposing views, but it’s different views that are able to create a better message.” According to Long, the team has helped him realize his dreams for the department. “I purposely went looking for someone that would probably challenge me because sometimes when you’re older, you get set in your ways and a new perspective can be very valuable,” said Long, looking to the young Balko and Sinadinos. “I feel youth can bring that.”
During an auction on Sept. 13, the auction started at 9 a.m. sharp. A small group of loggers, five or six, was gathered at the DNR office in Jackson-Washington State Forest competing for three separate bits of land within the forest. Their candor was cordial, though; competitors in the business, but also friends who understand the work. Billy Trueblood, whose wife, Sherry, was there representing their business that day, won the first bid for $116,100. Through the auction, one logger named Max Lambring sat toward the back of the room, quietly grumbling loud enough for the DNR employees to overhear. “Too many poles,” he said over and over, referring to the thinness of the trees that were being sold. All the thin pines were too small for his liking — worthless, he said. They weren’t like the thick, old trees that Kevin chops down, one by one, when they’re good and ready. Since he was a kid, Lambring has been in the business. To keep up with his bills, he sells equipment on the side, in addition to his logging. In this business, you ain’t really getting ahead in life,” he said. Lambring, like Pool, has had his equipment vandalized. Someone broke through its windows and poured dirt inside. “That’s a lot of money whenever you’ve gotta deal with that,” Sherry Trueblood said to Lambring, nodding sympathetically. Frustrations about protesters stretch up to the highest levels of management within the DNR. John Seifert, state forester and director of the DNR, said those opposed to the current forest management are generally uneducated about how exactly the department operates. Many who object to clearcuts in the state forest don’t understand some of the scientific reasons behind these harvests, he said. At Helmsburg, the Pools only have to worry about themselves, about keeping their business afloat. If they

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the History Center. “We’re excited about being there again,” Wente said. ”It’s a lovely place to have a reception, and it’ll be a lot of fun. People can look at a lot of different displays and see the art too.” Anne-Karine Bley, the other coordinator and fellow society member, said the two have worked with members to get pieces ready for the show and establish an environment to celebrate the work the group has done over the year. “We’ve planned to have a musician there so we have a nice ambiance, and we’ve partnered with the historical center to fit with the theme this year,” Bley said. “It’s been a process, but we’re happy we have a good show.” The collection of paintings, many of which are available for purchase, will be up at the center until Feb. 18, 2017, in the building’s Hill Gallery, according to a press release from Emily Musgrave, Exhibits manager for Monroe County History Center. The show is also the Bloomington Watercolor
don’t like the idea of clearcuts because of the poor aesthetic value, then that’s their prerogative. State foresters have other things to worry about, Seifert said. Foresters have to worry about the science of the forest, the health of the forest. They’re taught in school how to most efficiently manage nature’s resources. Of the 4,000 to 5,000 acres of wood the DNR harvests each year, about 400 to 500 of those acres are clearcuts, Seifert said — so, about 10 percent. Foresters evaluate the needs of the forest and make case-by-case assessments about how the wood should be cut — selectively, or all at once. Seifert said 100 percent of what the DNR does is based on scientific analysis, and the monetary value of the trees cut down is not even the secondary or tertiary consideration when determining which wood should go and which should stay. He doesn’t deny that the DNR has increased logging in the past decade. But the department has always maintained openness about their policies, he said. “We’ve not hidden anything we’ve done in the past,” Seifert said. “We were probably way too conservative. Now we’re actually trying to do what we should’ve been doing a long time ago.” Seifert says this because trees in the forest are dying at a quick rate, all on their own. The DNR shoots to harvest 10-12 million board feet of wood per year, he said. But soon, the department will release a report with numbers that show the forest also has 10 million board feet of mortality per year. Many trees recently have been falling victim to the emerald ash borer, a beetle that infests and kills ash trees. “We’re losing almost as much as we’re cutting,” Seifert said. Jim Eagleman, retired DNR naturalist, sees two main schools of thought in the logging controversy. On the one side, there are the conservationists — people Society’s 11th Annual Membership Exhibit and the 25th show the group has presented since itsfounding in 2005. Choosing the bicentennial as the theme for this collection allowed for a good range of pieces from members of the group, Wente said. In the past, the group has had much more particular subjects, such as a few years ago when members were sent to paint images of cemeteries. “This show being the bicentennial, we were not held to the theme so much,” Wente said. “We were able to use that as our background, but our paintings, generally a lot of them are totally just creative pieces.” Bley said seeing the combination of subject and location-inspired pieces has been a fascinating part of putting together this year’s show, as the 32 painters range from professional artists to beginners. The painting Bley said she is including in the show is a representation of the historical Wylie House, as much of her work ends up having an architectural focus. “Some artists have put in pictures that are historical locations, a lot of pieces
like Seifert, people who work to best use the materials naturally provided to them and intercede in the forest. And on the other, there are the preservationists, who he sees as people who want to lock up the forest’s resources. “If the resource is there, it can be used wisely for future generations,” Eagleman said. From his point of view, there’s no danger that the trees will disappear over the next few decades. The DNR knows what they’re doing, he said, and we should trust them. They have degrees and follow carefully laid out scientific practices. Eagleman said when Mitch Daniels was elected, he noticed an untapped resource in the state forests, and decided to capitalize on it as his predecessors had not. “I suspect he saw dollar signs in his eyeballs and said, here’s timber, we can use this,” Eagleman said. There are reasons for doing clearcuts other than just making money, Eagleman said. The forester could be choosing to remove dying pine not normally native to a particular bit of land, but planted to save the soil. Or he could be removing all evenaged trees. Seifert said the forester could also decide to wipe out a bit of land with a species in decline regenerate it. Regardless of the reasons, people will always scrutinize, Seifert said. True professionals, he said, will let science guide them in the decisions they make regarding the forest. The downside is that these decisions aren’t always very aesthetically pleasing. “We manage to the best we can based on the best science we have. Doesn’t mean everybody agrees with us,” Seifert said. “Some days are really frustrating.” * * * Kevin Pool said he doesn’t want to judge other loggers. He doesn’t want to pretend that he knows more than they do, because he doesn’t. He logs the way that feels right to him. “Have I been successful at it?” he asks out loud. “I suppose, because I’m not dead.” On a sunny Thursday afternoon, he walks down a hill into a section of woods just outside Bloomington. The landowners wanted him to make a clearing so they could build a house back in the woods, so he did the job he was asked to do. The Pool family possess something of a reverence for trees and their products. All of them live close to each other in their own, personally crafted log cabins. Since he was 17, it’s been Kevin and the woods. Sometimes, when Pool’s out doing a tree inventory, it’s just him and the trees, leaves rustling in the wind. When he cuts down the giants, he trims off their branches and leaves them behind. “It’s good habitat,” he’s saying. “Lets other seedling germinate.” He trails off, turning away from his audience. He does this often, even if there’s someone else with him in the woods. It’s almost as if he’s speaking right to the trees. that come from the plein air group arm of the Watercolor Society,” Bley said. “Those people have been painting on location for the last year. That’s kind of neat to see all the different places in the surrounding area that people have been painting.” Wente said her piece is inspired by Peden Farm, a local farm that the society visits frequently for plein air, or on-site outdoor painting, because of both the farm and the events to which it is host for the children in the community. “There’s an older farmhouse on-site and I stood there and painted that quickly,” Wente said. “I think it’s a wonderful place to visit.” There are many reasons to come out and see the show, but Bley said mostly the Bloomington Watercolor Society aims to reach out to the community and share its art. “I think it’s a great opportunity for them to see what people in their community are doing and promote the arts,” Bley said. “We have all different kinds of people in the group and it’s very relatable. It’s a great introduction to the community.”

“I believed what they were telling me, that I was soft. I kept denying I was hurt. That’s the
culture they created.”
Nick Carovillano’s injury resulted in the end of his young college football career. By Jordan Guskey | jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey
The broken young man sits in the same room Kevin Wilson recruited him in. He’s past the days when he needed assistance moving from the car into his house, but he still has trouble walking sometimes. Some days are worse than others. The 6-foot-4, roughly 235-pound frame he had as a freshman defensive lineman at IU is already 45 pounds lighter. He supports his former teammates from afar and struggles with the fact he won’t suit up with them again. Nick Carovillano’s football career wasn’t supposed to end this way. He never saw the field and finished without a college degree. It started with a back injury during a Sept. 2014 practice drill. IU trainers allegedly brushed off his complaints, decided not to examine him or barely did so at all and berated him as he struggled to walk. The three herniated discs in his back still have yet to heal fully, and he’s still considering whether or not to have surgery. “I believed what they were telling me, that I was soft,” Carovillano said. “I kept denying I was hurt. That’s the culture they created.” As he and his dad, Dean, watched IU Athletics Director Fred Glass handle the press conference that announced Wilson’s resignation last week, the pair became agitated. “Philosophical differences” didn’t even scratch the surface of Carovillano’s experiences in his short time as a Hoosier. * * * Wilson resigned last week after Glass said the two couldn’t overcome differences in how they thought the program should be led. They were differences Glass was confident had been rectified after a 2015 investigation. That investigation, led by an outside law firm called Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, started after Carovillano left the
school and program April 6, 2015. IU Athletics said in a statement it brought the firm in to investigate concerns Dean expressed to Associate Athletic Director for Engagement and Sports Performance Anthony Thompson about Carovillano’s treatment. Dean said IU began to reach out to him on the car ride home from IU. The Carovillanos said they never sought out an investigation and were surprised at how quickly it began. The concerns Dean brought up, according to the IU Athletics statement, were “(1) the University’s medical care of Nick’s injury was inadequate; (2) the coaching staff exerted improper influence over the provision of medical care to Nick and other injured players; and (3) a general ‘unhealthy culture’ surrounding the football program led Nick and other injured players not to obtain the necessary medical care.” Carovillano said an athletic trainer named Craig Tweedy refused to check out the injury he sustained Sept. 23, 2014, and from that point on Carovillano became wary of approaching him. A week later a second trainer allegedly wouldn’t acknowledge the existence of a back injury and, after first telling him to stretch more, said Carovillano had shin splints. Tweedy declined to comment for this story. The weekend of IU’s Oct. 11, 2014, matchup at Iowa, Carovillano traveled home to Cincinnati. At a small gathering a doctor noticed him walk, hunched over, across the room they were in. He diagnosed Carovillano with bulging discs without needing a scan. With this informal diagnosis, Carovillano said he approached the two trainers and IU’s team doctor. About three weeks had passed since his initial injury. They agreed to have SEE CAROVILLANO, PAGE 11
Memos from IU Athletics director to Kevin Wilson regarding player mistreatment “As you know, IU will not tolerate any behavior among you and your staff that penalizes, ostracizes, or criticizes any injured football player. I trust that you and your staff are abiding by this long standing policy.” “An outside investigation has concluded that Nick did not receive inadequate medical care, that there is no evidence that the coaching staff exerted improper influence on the medical staff regarding the student-athlete’s medical care, but that -- even within the unique culture of football -- there were behaviors that may create an unhealthy environment for injured players.” “It is my expectation that you embrace these reccomendations and cooperate fully with Anthony Thompson and Scott Dolson who I have asked to impement them.” More online See these memos, additional documents and previous coverage of Wilson’s resignation at idsnews.com/sports

EDITORIAL BOARD
MACK ATTACK
MOORE TO SAY
Remember what’s important
Don’t ignore the issues MACK WHITTEN is a senior in marketing.
This is not normal. This cannot be normalized. These words have been uttered many times since the election in an attempt to state the platform Trump ran on cannot be one we blithely accept and ingrain into everyday life. The startling fact that should not be ignored is Trump’s election has galvanized many of his supporters to attack those they dislike. Frequently, the individuals being attacked are minorities and women. The election validated Trump’s supporters’ sexist, racist feelings, and in their minds, now is a great time to share those feelings openly. In just 10 days after the election, hate crimes that were reported numbered 900. The majority of these attacks occurred in schools. It has now been over a month since the election, and these issues have showed no signs of slowing. The most disheartening aspect of these reports are their frequency and location. Schools should be places for people to learn and thrive in a safe environment. Now we’ve enabled children and adults to spew hateful bile at people with no cause or justification. A key component for the continued attacks, antiimmigrant sentiments and other baseless vitriol is the president-elect taken very little substantive action to disavow this behavior and to distance himself from the more radical factions of his base of supporters. It took a lot of effort for Trump just to disavow the “alt-right” movement, which is essentially cutesyspeak for Neo-Nazism. Our media has pushed this behavior with puff pieces glorifying the style of leaders of the “alt-right,” which is a huge issue for minority Americans. Trump even intends to nominate a man who was deemed too racist to be a judge in the 1980s as attorney general. Disavowed, my ass. Digital media and, more importantly, the presidentelect are all actively failing the United States, and we are allowing it to happen. These issues show no signs of letting up. The recent “Pizzagate” controversy prompted a Trump supporter to fire a gun in a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor. This was in response to a totally unfounded Reddit investigation into Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager allegedly running a child sex ring. The craziest part is this incredibly idiotic claim has been supported by Trump surrogates. Therein lies the chief issue with Trump as president-elect. He is more than happy to stir the pot and watch it boil, but when it overflows, he retreats and attempts to maintain his orange, reality-star sheen of detachment. Trump to this date seems to tweet more about Saturday Night Live than about condemning hateful attacks perpetrated in his name. The amount of condemnation tweets equals zero, by the way. On top of this, he is working to ensure his cabinet is filled with likeminded people. Those “drain the swamp” chants? He responded by installing a ex-Goldman Sachs billionaires. You’re welcome, blue-collar America. Trump’s utter disregard for logic and the safety of all Americans is on full display and should truly worry us. Now is not the time for white people who voted Democrat to pat each other on the back. Now is a time to speak up and demand protection for all Americans from our presidentelect. This begins with condemning attacks in his name. Media, cut the promotional puff pieces. Seriously. macwhitt@umail.iu.edu

Attack of the books? Banning classic novels in school is counterproductive Education took a huge blow in November as Accomack County Public Schools in Virginia decided to pull “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from their high school curriculum. The books have been suspended following the request of the parent of a biracial child. The mother, who has remained anonymous, claims the racial slurs in the two books are too much for high schoolers to handle. She believes teaching books with these slurs is “validating that these words are acceptable.” This one boils our blood on Editorial Board. To begin with, these two books are among the least racist pieces of literature ever written. Anyone who has ever read these books cover to cover understands that Mark Twain and Harper Lee are, indisputably, fighting for equality. “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is a story of a boy learning his racist upbringing is wrong. Jim, Huckleberry’s black companion, is the wisest, most compassionate character in the novel. As people use slurs against him, we are shown the
disparity between vapid racism and true character, which Jim absolutely has. In Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” we see that communities are quick to turn on those they deem different. All evidence points to Tom Robinson’s innocence, but he’s still convicted of rape. Readers understand that the trial was an absolute disgrace, and Lee is obviously mocking the blatant racism of much of rural America at the time. It’s a plea for change. These two books are testaments of anti-racist philosophy. Yes, they use harsh language that we no longer deem acceptable under any circumstances. Yes, they can be difficult to trudge through, especially if you’re someone who’s experienced the damage of these slurs. The difficult truth is that these words used to be acceptable, and people of color used to be treated extremely poorly. To deny or obfuscate this truth is to discredit its importance, and we owe it to ourselves to understand the past to shape a better future for us all. Additionally, we don’t learn
difficult lessons from within our comfort zones. If we ban every book that offends our gentle sensibilities, we won’t ever progress as a society. Art isn’t meant to make us feel safe. It’s meant to force us to challenge our beliefs and our assumptions. These books accomplish that task beautifully. Obviously we shouldn’t be teaching this literature to students who aren’t ready to face its grim realities. No one believes that third graders should be forced to deal with themes of wrongful conviction, racism, rape or discrimination. But there comes a time when students need to be pushed out of their predefined comfort zones in order to become more culturally and educationally aware. Banning books is wrong. “Huck Finn” and “To Kill a Mockingbird” are two iconic pieces of literature that denounce racism and mock those who practice it. Editorial Board is sorry that Accomack County school children will be deprived of an important and impactful part of growing up. We hope this decision will not stand.
SARAH’S SENTIMENTS
Preparing yourself for post-college life When I arrived at IU my freshman year, I thought there was a self-explanatory list of tasks — get good grades, graduate and get a job — I needed to accomplish during my four years. Of course, I also hoped to make great friends and memories, but as for the technical purpose of school, I figured the former list comprised my main responsibilities. As a senior about to enter her final semester of college, I’ve realized I was sadly mistaken. At least for me, there have been a slew of new tasks I realized I needed to get done if I want to reach my career goals. Most of the things I have figured out are not heavily publicized, so I figured I would share my insights with those who are still early in their journey at IU. First: Know your field. It sounds a bit silly, but beyond your actual classes, do you know what types of jobs exist for you, what they pay or the qualifications you
need to get hired? While schools like the Kelley School of Business are great at having formal paths for students to take through this process, in other areas of study, you may have to do more of your own research. Second: Internships. This one also may seem self-explanatory to some, but I’ve realized that students often don’t know where to begin. Most schools at IU have career services, so that is always a great place to start. Other great resources that are under-utilized yet right under your noses, are your professors. Regardless of the department, many of your professors very likely know about internship opportunities both on and off campus. It’s up to you to connect with them and use them as a tool to help you land a job. It’s true that many internships are competitive and sadly often underpaid, but they really will help you in the job search. Third: Networking.
When I realized I wanted to pursue a career in publishing, I didn’t think networking would have much to do with it, but I was so wrong. The connections I’ve made at each internship have pushed me onto the next internship, and almost all the knowledge I’ve accumulated about the industry has been through office hours with professors, coffee with bosses, and people I have sought out in hopes to learn all I can. In truth, almost every person I talk to who has recently graduated has gotten their job both because they were qualified and deserved it and also because they had a connection who could get their foot in the door. While the concept of networking can sound artificial or intimidating, it’s really just another form of being nice to people who surround you. If you’re willing to take the time to form a genuine connection, it totally pays off. Fourth: Think outside the box. If you are in a major where there is a clear path

laid out to get a job, then that’s awesome and I am totally jealous. However, if not, spend some time thinking about creative ways you can stand out. For publishing, I chose to pursue business minors on top of my English major, as I knew I would need knowledge of the industry in order to successfully navigate it. That being said, other people I know are pursing the same career as me in different and awesome ways. You just have to find what works for you. The prospect of finding a job after college is certainty a daunting one, and it doesn’t always come with a guidebook. As long as you love what you’re doing and find creative approaches to your goal, you’re guaranteed success. sdloughr@umail.iu.edu

The National Retail Federation believes this year Americans will spend over $650 billion during the holiday season in 2016. Billion. With a B. This number is supposedly a good indicator for the market as a whole, because spending is up about 10 percent from last year’s total. Though this may mean our economy is doing well, it saddens me that we’ve commercialized the holidays to this degree. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, but this year it felt more like Black Friday Eve than a standalone celebration. More and more stores began their Black Friday deals Thanksgiving night rather than wait until the morning. The owners of these stores have a right to be open whenever they want, but I’m disappointed so many Americans would rather buy a new toaster than spend the evening with their families. I know not everyone has a family to go home to, and others have difficult circumstances that prevent them from heading home for the holidays. But for every person like that, many others make the conscious decision to head to the mall rather than their parents’ house. Looking ahead toward the coming holiday season, I know the National Retail Federation is right. People, myself included, will spend tons of money on gifts and food during Christmastime. I love the act of giftgiving during Christmas. Of course it’s fun to give and receive presents with those we care about. I would never want to remove that part of the holidays, but maybe we can scale it back a bit. We’re taking days meant to champion family, togetherness, and — most importantly — food, and making them about possessions. Focusing on the material aspects of the upcoming holiday season will never lead to more happiness, only expectations that may or may not be met. Whatever it is you celebrate during the winter holidays, I implore you to think less about the “what” and more about the “who” and the “why.” This upcoming break from school is so great because it gives us a chance to see people we don’t get to visit as often anymore. If we spend all break wondering what awaits us under the Christmas tree, we’re going to miss out on the real value of the season. And no one likes that one cousin who just whines about their Christmas gift all month. Don’t be that cousin. It would be ridiculous to boycott Christmas gifts or look down on everyone who spends a lot of money this time of year. Most of that spending is in gifts for others and it comes from a good place. But we’re continually making the holidays about possessions rather than the people we share them with. This year, be thankful for people. Be thankful for parents who love us and gave us the opportunity to attend this school. Be thankful for friends who support and love us no matter what. And yes, be thankful for that uncle who shares his weird political views at family functions. He needs your love the most. dylmoore@indiana.edu

Youth play to support Boys and Girls Club By Mallory Haag mjhaag@indiana.edu | @MalloryHaag
The story of a young man, his fragile sister and his mother who constantly relives her past will come to the John Waldron Arts Center Friday as Solarium Productions puts on its performance of the play “The Glass Menagerie.” The semi-autobiographical story by Tennessee Williams is narrated by the character Tom Wingfield, an aspiring poet who spends most of his time working in a shoe factory to support his mother and sister. His mother, a faded Southern belle named Amanda Wingfield, worries constantly about the future of her children. As a result she resents them to some extent, according to the script. Tom’s little sister, Laura, suffered from polio when she was younger and now lives with a limp and an isolating inferiority complex. “His struggle with responsibility for his mother and his sister and conflict with his responsibility and what he wants to do is something that everyone has to kind of deal with it at some point,” said Joseph Ermey, who plays Tom in the play. The play is put on by Solarium Productions, a theater group founded and led by Bloomington high school students. Solarium has worked with students from other schools in the past and is open to working with them in the future, Ermey said. Adda Port, who plays Laura in the play, said the student-led group allows members to be more hands-on. “It’s important because I think you learn a lot of different skills in a student-led production,” Port said. “It takes a lot of teamwork and helping out your friends when things don’t go right.”

Clare Mattsson and Adda Port rehearse for the play “The Glass Menagerie.” The show will open this Friday and be performed throughout the weekend.
Clare Mattsson, who plays Amanda, said working with Solarium has made collaborating with other actors easier. “There’s definitely a lot more connection because someone who’s directing one show is likely to be an actor in the next show,” Mattsson said. “People know each other.” All proceeds from the play will be given directly to the Boys and Girls Club in order to support its facilities.
Director of the play Adam Diersing said giving back is essential to the students’ mission. “Our mission is to give back to the community through community by creating something we really care about,” Diersing said. “Giving what we have, which is what we do here, back to the community is something that makes it really important to us.” Diersing said the community aspect, the acting and
the fact the group is studentled have been points of pride for Solarium. “It’s a more unique experience than other theater I’ve done because nothing we’ve ever done has been because we felt like had to,” Diersing said. “Every project and every show has been fully because we were committed to making it, and so that’s been unlike anything else I’ve ever done in theater. It’s been a complete passion project from the very beginning.”
“Our mission is to give back to the community through community by creating something we really care about. Giving what we have, which is what we do here, back to the community is something that makes it really important to us.” Adam Diersing, director of “The Glass Menagerie”

I don’t know Melania Trump personally, so I don’t wish my comments to seem I am prejudging her personal values, but I really don’t see myself getting involved with the Trump presidency,” designer Derek Lam said to Women’s Wear Daily. These are just three of several public comments made by designers about their unwillingness to dress the upcoming first lady. While these comments have mostly been about dressing Melania, this presumably applies to Donald Trump as
well because the reason designers are refusing to dress Melania is their dislike of the president-elect. Though there are countless jobs and actions the president and first lady must take on that are of higher importance than their attire, the ability to dress the leader of the United States and his wife has been considered the highest honor and achievement by many designers. Clothing plays an important role in most every event the president and the first lady attend. From the beginnings of a presidency at the inaugural ball to White House state dinners to traveling across the world for international events, the presidential couple have always been dressed proudly by a wide array of designers. I imagine when it came to dressing the president and the first lady in the past, it was a selection, not a search. Countless designers likely stood in line with unimaginable designs prepared to

come to life on the first lady. However, as the Inaugural Ball approaches in January, few, if any, designers seems to be jumping at the chance to dress the president-elect or the first lady. In fact, they seem to be dreading it. The fashion world once made its connection to politics by creating looks for the monumental moments in a president’s term, but now the fashion industry seems to be making its connection to the political world by making a statement by refusing to support the upcoming changes. Many designers seem to be uniting in their stance against the Trump presidency. It’s their own form of protest. The question is, how long will they be on strike? While a few designers, such as Tommy Hilfiger, have said they will have no problem dressing the Trumps, there is still an undeniable
Graduate plans variety show benefiting Middle Way House From IDS reports
On Sunday a Christmas variety show benefiting local nonprofit Middle Way House will take place in Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union. Middle Way House provides shelter for women and children fleeing violence at home, according to the nonprofit’s website. The Ernie Jo Christmas Spectacular will feature performances by a cappella group Resting Pitch Face, dance group Movement Exchange, local band Boney Junes, the Hoosier Pops Orchestra and a short original musical accompanied by the Ernie Jo Symphony Orchestra, according to the event website. While the event is free,
there is a suggested donation of $10, according to the event’s website. IU graduate and event creator Ernie Jo Fipps said he reached out to as many IU student organizations as possible while planning the event and has already received nearly $2,500 in donations. He said if the event is successful, he should be able to raise at least $5,000 more for Middle Way House. “It’ll be a fun event,” Fipps said. “We just like music and entertaining people. We thought if we could use that to help people as well then we should.” Fipps said he was inspired to create his own event for charity after being involved with Chi Alpha Christian Ministry while

He said he chose to donate to Middle Way House because the organization recently lost some of its government funding. He said he would like to continue the event in the future. “If all goes well, it would be really awesome to make this a yearly staple and have a yearly fundraiser,” he said. “We would definitely love to do it again and keep having an opportunity to give back to the community.” Katie Chrisco

their stances. In the meantime, however, the Trumps may be wearing the same designers more frequently. It seems as though the president’s stylist will have

» CAROVILLANO
Glass met with Wilson on May 13, 2015, a month after he met with Wilson to inform him of the start of the investigation, to say the investigation found Carovillano did not receive inadequate medical care. It also said coaches did not exert any improper influence on members of the medical staff but did uncover behaviors that may have created an unhealthy environment for injured players. In a memo rehashing the meeting, Glass said Wilson admitted he made jokes at the expense of injured players and implied they weren’t useful members of the team. Glass mentioned some players found it depressing and demoralizing that coaches made comments like that and pressured hurt athletes to press on. Any such comments or other behavior, Glass warned, violates sections of the Statement of Principles on the Conduct of Participants in Student Athletic Programs and could result in disciplinary action for Wilson and his staff. Dean didn’t understand how IU didn’t find evidence of improper medical care. He also said the section, where he is said to have been told the investigation’s results and told Thompson he didn’t want to pursue anything further, of the IU Athletics statement that describes a conversation between him and Thompson didn’t happen. In an email exchange Dec. 2, Dean expressed his displeasure with the press conference and the findings of IU Athletics’ inquiries. Glass assured Dean IU took the concerns about Carovillano’s medical

Carovillano said Tweedy acknowledged a week later that Carovillano wasn’t as soft as he once thought. “Nick, on a scale of one to you’re not going to sue me,” Carovillano recalls Tweedy saying later on in his rehab, “how bad does your back feel today?” The 2015 investigation included interviews with 20 people. Four, among them the chief medical doctor and head football athletic trainer, had direct involvement in Carovillano’s medical care. Four more were members of the football staff, Wilson among them. The other 12 were then-current football players who had suffered injuries at one point during their IU careers. Dean declined to have his son participate in the investigation. He provided Thompson with information as he learned it but didn’t want a 19-year-old kid who just lost the game he loved to injury talk to a lawyer hired by the University under investigation for alleged mistreatment. Multiple former players spoke out after Wilson’s resignation about abuse they allege occurred during their time playing for him. They cited instances when players were pressured to play through injuries, shamed for incurring them and denied treatment at the appropriate time. Others have come to his defense.

* * * Wilson was always a positive and upbeat, if a bit selfcentered, presence during Carovillano’s recruitment. Carovillano bought into Wilson’s pledge that the program was on an upward trajectory. Carovillano looked forward to an opportunity to play early. He wanted to be a great college football player and was excited he would get the chance to do so in Bloomington. Dean, on the other hand, was skeptical. He claimed he could see right through Wilson and didn’t want Carovillano to attend IU. Wilson cut Dean off and interrupted him during his inhome visit, and Dean watched Wilson cut off academic advisers giving a presentation to families of recruits during an official visit Carovillano took. “He just didn’t listen to what other people had to say,” Carovillano said.

Outside of Wilson’s interjections making Carovillano a little uncomfortable, he didn’t put too much stock in it. That’s just how Wilson operated, and it didn’t change Carovillano’s desire to play for him. As his IU career got underway, his parents flew an IU flag from their porch. “It’s the sort of thing that Nick normally would not like,” Dean said about his quiet son. “But he had a sense of pride playing for IU, and he was happy to see the IU colors on the porch when he came home.” When Wilson started to

care seriously and recommendations were made and implemented. A memo from Thompson to Glass on May 22, 2015, said the program put in place would be reviewed every season to ensure it continued to work effectively to provide “a healthy and safe environment for our students.” When Glass had to revisit issues this fall, he thought had been put to bed, a change was made. “It wasn’t a precipitating event but the accumulation of the realization that we weren’t on the same page and a lack of confidence by me that we could get and stay on the same page,” Glass said at the Dec. 1 press conference.

Wilson also allegedly didn’t like to see injured players enjoying themselves at meals. More than anything, it just made Carovillano think less of Wilson. “I was on the scout team

trying to get the starters and rotation guys ready for the game,” Carovillano said. “So, it just seemed like, why am I destroying my back here for this guy just for him to come over and make me feel like I’m not a part of the team?” Carovillano said he overheard a trainer admitting to players at one point that Wilson comes down hard on him if he’s too nice to players about injuries. When Carovillano’s relationship with IU football began to deteriorate, Dean made a decision. By the time he went up to the University to bring his son back home in April 2015, the family’s IU flag no longer hung over the porch.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Fast start paces IU to explosive win, 100-49 By Josh Eastern jeastern@indiana.edu @josheastern
IU women’s basketball was off and running right from the start Thursday night against the Northern Kentucky Norse. When senior forward Jenn Anderson won the opening tip off, junior forward Amanda Cahill controlled it. From there Cahill tossed it ahead to junior guard Tyra Buss, who laid it in. IU didn’t look back from there and scored the first 25 points of the game. Behind a fast start led by senior guard Karlee McBride with 16 points, IU defeated Northern Kentucky 100-49 Thursday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. “We were really excited to be back at home,” Cahill said. “We came into the game ready. We were challenged to execute and get stops defensively, and we did a good job. We did a good job, especially at the beginning, coming out with a lot of energy.” The offense was once
again clicking. Following a 64-percent shooting performance at North Texas, the Hoosiers had another efficient shooting night at 61 percent. Six Hoosiers scored in double figures, and Buss and senior guard Alexis Gassion both tallied doubledoubles. Gassion had 10 points and 15 rebounds, and Buss added 14 points to go along with 10 assists. Lately Buss has been doing most of the scoring for the Hoosiers. She has scored 38 and 21 points in the two games previous to the one against Northern Kentucky. On Thursday, that wasn’t the case. She was just 3-of-10 from the field for six points in the first half and finished with 14 points. The numbers were there, but it was not her most efficient night from the floor, as she missed eight of her 14 shots. “For us, to be able to score the way we did is great,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “We’re shooting at a high percentage as a team. I’m really pleased with the way we’ve been shooting
the ball.” On the boards, the Hoosiers outmatched the Norse. Northern Kentucky only grabbed 22 rebounds compared to IU’s 49. The Hoosiers turned 18 offensive rebounds into 21 secondchance points. Moren was pleased with the offense. The defense, however, was another story. She specifically called out the bench and said she doesn’t expect them to come in and score but wants them to be in the right spots and observe what the starters are doing while sitting on the bench. “I’m not sure what our bench looks at and what their takeaways are,” Moren said. “We’ve asked them to come in and be focused, we’ve asked them to watch what’s going on out on the floor. There have been times when they come in and they make mistakes and you just go ‘we just got done coming out of a timeout’ … and they come out and make the same mistake.” After playing five out of the last six games on the

road, the Hoosiers were glad to get back home to Assembly Hall. The recent six-game stretch saw them go 3-3 with all three losses coming on the road. Moren said they learned a lot about themselves while playing away
from home. On Thursday, IU extended its home win streak to 18 games, and it will get a chance to extend that Sunday when it welcomes Valparaiso. If the energy is anything like what Moren
demonstrated in her postgame press conference, they should be ready to go. “Just tuning up little things,” Gassion said of what needs to improve. “Defensively, offensively, and that’s all you can do.”
Moren unhappy with defense despite blowout win By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer
IU Coach Teri Moren has preached defense recently. IU women’s basketball suffered a pair of losses in the past two weeks, and in both games Moren said lackluster defending was at least partially to blame for the defeats. The defense may have looked good on paper Thursday night, but IU Coach Teri Moren was none too happy with the overall performance despite a 100-49 win over Northern Kentucky. In particular, Moren was upset with her bench
players and their defensive focus and energy. Moren said the team spends time before every game doing prep and scouting for the next opponent, but she said her players are still missing things. “We show these kids,” Moren said. “We give them the answers to the test, and then we get in those games, and they flat out fail. It’s not OK. It might be OK against Northern Kentucky. It’s not going to be OK against Penn State. It’s not going to be OK against Florida, and it probably won’t be OK against Valpo. We’ve got to be serious about getting better. It’s not my starters per se. It’s the help that’s com-
ing off the bench right now that’s not taking pride in what we’re asking them to do.” IU jumped out to a 35-5 lead after the opening quarter by playing stifling defense and rebounding nearly every missed shot by Northern Kentucky. IU held Northern Kentucky to just 2-of-15 shooting in the first 10 minutes. The Norse were able to hang 17 points on the Hoosiers in the second half, which caused Moren to become visibly upset on the sidelines. At halftime Moren was still frustrated, senior guard Alexis Gassion said. “Coach was a little disappointed in our defensive
mentality in the second quarter, so she got on us about that,” Gassion said. “She was pretty mad about that effort.” The Hoosiers made their biggest mark defensively at the beginning of quarters. IU held the Norse scoreless for the first six minutes of the game, and for about the first three minutes in both the third and fourth quarters. Meanwhile, the Hoosiers scored 43 points combined in those scoreless stretches for Northern Kentucky. Near the end of those quarters, however, the defense would slip up. That was what angered Moren most.
“Tonight, I kept asking them not to play the scoreboard, just to really focus on ourselves defensively,” Moren said. “We’ve struggled with that, so that’s on me. I’ve got to do better. We’ve got make sure that we’re committed to that end.” IU moved to 6-3 in the win, and the 49 points allowed were the second fewest in the season. However, Moren said her team had set the goal before the game of only allowing 35 points. The fact they couldn’t hold the Norse to that number is a problem, she said. “It’s about expectations being high, and when we brought them to Indiana,
I expected great things,” Moren said. “And I expected greater things. And I want better.” Frustrations aside, IU has to prepare for a game against Valparaiso on Sunday afternoon. With the quick turnaround, Moren said her team will only really have one day of preparation but you can bet what they’ll be working on. “We will continue to work and work and work on the defensive end until we can get it right,” Moren said. “Because right now, it’s not good enough to beat the guys down the road that we’re going to face.”
