Cam Wilson's parents found dead

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

Cassondra Wilson, the mother of IU wide receiver Cam Wilson, was found dead late Friday night after being fatally shot in Colum- Cam Wilson bus, Indiana. Less than 24 hours later, her ex-husband and Cam’s father, Troy Wilson, was found dead from a gunshot wound in Indianapolis.

Cassondra Wilson’s death has been ruled a homicide by the Columbus Police Department.No further details have been released about the death of Troy Wilson.

There is an ongoing investigation on the situation.

Troy was considered a person of interest in Cassondra’s death by the Indianapolis Metro Police Department, according to a WTHR report.

According to Columbus Police Department spokesman Matt Harris, Cassondra had a protective order filed against her ex-husband at the time of her death.

Cassondra was the founder and CEO of TrainerConnect, a company providing training for large manufacturing facilities in the Columbus area. She was also appointed by Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb as a member of the Minority Business Council for the state, serving as its commissioner for southern Indiana.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Cam and his family,” IU head football coach Tom Allen said in a statement released Sunday. “We’ve been in contact and communication with Cam once we learned of this tragedy. He is a tremendous young man, and we will continue to assist and support him in any and all ways.

We ask everyone to respect Cam and his family’s privacy during this difficult time.”

Jaden Wilson, Cam’s brother, started a GoFundMe for Cassondra Wilson’s Memorial Fund. Cam’s teammates at IU have taken to social media to promote the GoFundMe page, asking fans to donate. At the time of publishing, over 500 people have donated, raising more than $35,000 for the memorial fund.

“Cassondra devoted her life to helping people reach their full potential,” Jaden wrote. “The love we all carry in our hearts for Cassondra will be her lasting legacy and impression on the world.”

Signs on the front doors inform customers about visiting rules May 12 at the Book Corner. Some retail businesses and restaurants are preparing to reopen at 50% capacity Friday, while others are planning on remaining closed until they are able to reopen closer to full capacity.

Bloomington businesses prepare to open during COVID-19 pandemic

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @LaurenM30831042

Many Monroe County businesses will be able to open this Friday after the county's extended the stay-at-home order ends May 15. Stage 2 of Gov. Gov. Eric Holcomb’s five-step plan to reopen the economy amid the pandemic will begin 11 days after most of the state.

Some businesses are eager to continue business, while others are waiting for the ability to open up at a larger capacity.

Ed Schwartzman, co-owner of BuffaLouie’s at the Gables, said he and his staff aim to open Saturday.

Retail businesses and restaurants are allowed to open at 50% capacity Friday.

“We’re chomping at the bit to get going again,” he said.

To encourage social distancing, every other table will be roped off, and signs will be put up to remind customers, Schwartzman said. He

said he also thinks customers will monitor themselves.

“Between us and the good practices of our customers, I think we will be fine,” he said.

Schwartzman said all his staff will wear masks and gloves. If they tell him they don’t feel well, he sends them home for two weeks.

He said no one on his staff has contracted COVID-19.

Randy Sciscoe, owner of Mary M’s Walnut House Flowers and Gifts, said his business will open after the stay-at-home order ends.

The business offers no-contact, curbside delivery, but Sciscoe said it is not the usual amount of business. He said he is ready to open because they did not sell as many flowers as usual last weekend for Mother’s Day. He said the store has a new ultraviolet air purification system, and staff interacting with customers will wear masks. He said he is not really concerned about social distancing because he said most

orders are over the phone. He said the store does not have a lot of people inside at the same time unless it’s a holiday such as Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. “There’s a limit as to what you can do,” Sciscoe said. “It’s imperative that Bloomington businesses get reopened because if not, we’re going to lose a ton of businesses.”

For restaurants such as Lennie’s and Hive, it will be a little later. Jeff Mease, co-founder of Hive, Lennie’s and Pizza X, said Hive will likely open in June, and Lennie’s will likely open in July.

Mease said Lennie’s doesn't do a significant amount of carry-out or delivery because it’s mostly a dine-in restaurant.

“We feel like if we open that too early, we’re just kind of fighting the current,” Mease said. "We feel like until people are ready to go out to a busy restaurant, at least most people, that we’re better off staying closed.”

He said opening Lennie’s and

Jacobs dean to step down June 30

Out-of-state students may be able to use IU Health

Gilcher, a three-time state champion out of Detroit, Michigan, chose IU over Big Ten rivals Maryland, Michigan State and Wisconsin.

At 160 pounds this season, Gilcher became the first wrestler in Detroit Catholic Central High School history to rack up seven total state championships. He won four team titles to his three individual crowns.

IU’s 2020 recruiting class

For IU sophomore Lauren Wagner, who is currently unable to receive care from IUCounseling and Psychological Services as an out-ofstate student, it’s hard to find a new counselor. The stay-at-home restrictions where she lives in California have kept her cooped up for about the last two months and will most likely last well into the summer.

“I love my family and I love being home because I missed them so much, but talking to the same three people every day is making me go a little bit crazy,” Wagner said.

Because she hasn't found a counselor to talk to in California, as many of them are not accepting new patients, one thing that keeping her grounded is going on long drives with her sister and getting some fresh air.

California does not allow outof-state providers to practice in the state. Wagner said if she were able to utilize IU health care, she would be interested in meeting with somebody because she really likes talk therapy.

Unlike before the coronavirus, some out-of-state students can receive care from IU Health. This includes students staying on campus and those whose home states have issued a state of emergency that allows out-of-state providers in good standing to practice in their state, IU Health Center Executive Direc-

Gwyn Richards, the David Henry Jacobs Bicentennial Dean of the Jacobs School of Music, will step down June 30. Richards served as the dean for almost two decades, after being named dean in 2001. He will return as a faculty member of the choral conducting department.

“Dean Richards’ visionary impact on the sensational Jacobs School is already legendary,” Provost Lauren Robel said in a statement. “His understanding of the uniqueness of the school and its importance to the world of the arts is what has driven his work. Everything he has done as dean has focused on excellence.”

Under Richards’ leadership, the Jacobs School added prominent musicians like Wolfgang Brendel and Heidi Grant Murphy to the faculty and organized several world premiere performances.

The school also created many career development, community engagement and educational initiatives during Richards' tenure. These initiatives include Project JumpStart and the Fairview Violin Project which provides under-served classrooms with violin instruction.

Jeremy Allen, the Eugene O’Brien Bicentennial Executive Associate Dean of Jacobs, was named interim dean and will begin his tenure July 1.

Hive at 50% capacity now would be difficult. He said his staff would be better off with unemployment money because they might not make enough, including tips, at a dine-in restaurant at 50% capacity.

“We could easily just run at a loss if we open at 50%,” he said.

Mease said he plans to open Hive in June because he will be able to offer some delivery options, and it is a larger space that is easier to socially distance in. To encourage social distancing at Lennie’s, they will separate tables. He said his staff at Pizza X wears masks right now to protect customers.

Lennie’s and Hive can afford to be closed because there is revenue coming from Pizza X, which is still offering delivery and carry-out, Mease said. He said he is worried that other Bloomington businesses cannot handle being closed so long.

“We just do what we can, but we can’t stay home and watch the world end,” he said.

IU signees tabbed as All-Americans

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

IU wrestling signees Derek Gilcher and Santos Cantu were named to Wrestling USA Magazine’s All-American team last week.

The duo, both part of the 2020 recruiting class, posted a combined record of 293-32 in their high school careers.

Cantu, a four-time Oregon state champion, originally committed to Ohio State in early Sep-

tember before flipping his decision to IU in November.

In 2018, Cantu captured a gold medal in Freestyle wrestling at the UWW Cadet Pan American tournament. He also earned a bronze medal in the Greco-Roman competition that same year.

Cantu, who wrestled at 195 pounds last year, could provide much-needed support at 197 pounds in the Hoosier lineup.

In dual matches last season, IU wrestlers only won one match in that weight class.

Local candidates campaign from home

By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

Months before the coronavirus wiped out jobs and put thousands in the hospital, people saw the need for better leadership in their communities and made the decision to run for public offices in the 2020 elections.

Then the pandemic hit.

Plans to canvass neighborhoods went down the drain, a campaign manager moved in with a candidate so they could continue the campaign in quarantine and almost all forms of campaigning moved online.

“Campaigning has always been a wonky process—you never really know what’s going to get voters out to the polls,” said Dominic Thompson, a rising IU senior majoring in law and public policy who is running for Monroe County Council. “Adding this new element of living in the age of coronavirus, it has completely upended any strategies we had.”

When the stay-at-home order began and the community was largely hunkered down, candidates strategized the best move to make.

“We decided to take a break to allow people to digest what was going on with the coronavirus and not put pressure on them to get out there and vote,” Thompson, a 21-year-old Democrat said.

Democrat Brandon Hood, who is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in District 9, said his campaign also stopped for a few weeks, thinking it would come across as rude or opportunistic to campaign during a time of crisis. His campaign manager, Glitz Litzenberg, moved from St. Petersburg, Florida to Hood’s house to manage the campaign in the uncertain time, and he’s staying until the campaign is over.

But in the past month, candidates have tried to increase their presence in the community.

Phone calls and social media have been the main

strategies candidates have been using to reach voters.

In addition to using online avenues, John Zody, a Democrat running for the Indiana State Senate, has also been using texting and mailers. If you drive by Republican Carl Lamb’s law office, yard signs make it clear he is running for Monroe County circuit court judge.

“We’re doing what we can and we’re certainly trying to do what’s best for people’s health,” Zody said.

In addition to campaigning, Thompson uses time on the phone with voters to inform people about how to vote by mail. He has heard from more people who are excited about voting than people who are feeling reluctant.

“Our number one job is to tell voters that they have unlimited access to mail-in ballots this year, which is not something that Indiana has historically done,” he said.

Hood and Lamb said there are some positives to campaigning exclusively online.

Candidates don’t have to walk miles upon miles going door to door.

But Hood said he much prefers face-to-face interaction than campaigning online. He isn’t sure which way people are leaning with their votes when he isn’t interacting with them regularly.

“It’s hard to really gauge because I’m not really around people,” he said. “I can only put stuff out there.”

Lamb said the inability to talk to people in person has especially hurt his campaign’s

Vaping might increase COVID-19 risk, but more evidence is needed

By Lyndsay Valadez lvaladez@iu.edu | @lynds_val

With his class of about 700 medical students, Professor W. Graham Carlos recently looked at a COVID-19 case.

He emphasized the importance of documenting a good medical history. This means asking about the patient’s social life, which includes vaping history.

“I believe that taking a good medical history for anybody presenting with breathing problems should include asking about smoking as well as vaping,” Carlos said.

Carlos is also section chief for pulmonary and critical care at Eskenazi Health, a hospital in Indianapolis, leading the COVID-19 unit.

People are still learning more from medical research about the effect of vaping on the lungs. Carlos said because vaping is relatively new, it’s hard to tell what the long-term effects of vaping are, let alone what effects it can have on coronavirus.

Vaping-associated pulmonary illness is a lung injury that can look a lot like COVID-19. When people come in with VAPI, they have coughs, shortness of breath and abnormal X-rays, Carlos said. This can make it more difficult on the health care team to decide what treatments to employ.

“As a pulmonary specialist, working here at Eskenazi Health and teaching at the medical school, I believe it’s my responsibility to warn patients and my trainees about a potential danger because both COVID-19 and vaping cause

While many students quarantined at home in March and April, uncertain of their summer plans, IU sent out emails nudging students to knock out some credits and take a summer class or two. On March 26, Provost Lauren Robel announced all summer classes were going to be online and could be completed from the convenience of students’ homes.

Many students took the university up on the offer.

Summer enrollment is up by 28% compared to 2019, according to the senior associate registrar Michael Carrol, who also said the overall number of classes is down 13%. He said he did not have any official reasoning behind these numbers.

Math professor Jee Koh has been teaching an online calculus class for four or five years and his summer class is usually capped at 60 students. But with all in-person classes canceled, he now has a summer class of 144 students.

inflammation of the lungs,” Carlos said.

Because of the uncertainty surrounding VAPI and coronavirus, he advises people to avoid cigarette and e-cigarette use. He also reminds people that testing positive for COVID-19 does not necessarily mean having lung trouble.

Carlos has actually seen a decrease in the usage of cigarettes and e-cigs recently. But, David Jewell, general manager at Stimline Variety Smoke Shop, said at the start of this pandemic business really went up as they were one of the few smoke shops in the area to stay open. While they don’t sell vape juices, they do sell CBD cartridges.

“Everybody wants to buy up whatever they can, whether it’s twinkies or bread or toilet paper or e-cigs,” Jewell said.

Stimline Variety Shop was able to stay open mainly because they sell medicinal

marijuana and products that help people relax in this crazy time, Jewell said. However, Jewell said people should do their best not to risk anyone’s health, including their own.

While Jewell said they are following social distancing guidelines and sanitizing to stay open, if cases were to worsen as other places reopen, they would be willing to shut their doors.

“We’re not medical experts,” Jewell said. “We’re just wanting to follow the guidelines of the local government to be honest.”

According to the blogpost of Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “Because it attacks the lungs, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 could be an especially serious threat to those who smoke tobacco or marijuana or who vape.”

Carlos said he has seen patients who have vaped, smoked and done neither but who have each contract-

ed the virus. The bottom line is that VAPI could be a confounder or lead to diagnostic uncertainty if patients were to test positive for COVID-19 as well, he said.

“So, picture this: somebody comes in with vaping injury, they test positive for COVID and the health care providers, we all think, ‘Oh, this is all COVID,’” Carlos said. “We could be fooled because their lung injury, their disease may be related to their vaping instead.”

A major limitation to studying the vaping population and coronavirus is it’s difficult to track who’s vaping through electronic medical records.

This is why it’s so important to Carlos to teach his students how to record thorough medical histories for patients.

“We don’t have enough evidence yet to make an association with the virus and outcomes and vaping,” Carlos said.

ability to fundraise. Hood’s campaign has suffered from this as well.

“If we do win the primary, we’re not going to be going in with gold on our boots,” Hood said.

Thompson said he participated in a debate via Zoom on Monday night led by the Monroe County West Side Democratic Collaborative for Democratic candidates. Zody has done solo Facebook Live “town halls” to answer voters’ questions and has talked to various political IU student

Koh’s online course is accelerated, squeezing a 15week class into an 8-week period during the first session of summer classes from May 12 through July 2. He said students’ biggest challenge is keeping up with the work and his biggest challenge is keeping them engaged and learning.

“Math is like learning a language,” Koh said. “There are many new concepts to learn. If you put it off, it just accumulates.”

Through his years of online teaching experience, Koh has learned to break things up into bite-sized chunks for students taking online courses so students don’t feel overwhelmed. He keeps his lectures short and focuses on only one subject at a time.

He also said it takes more effort to keep students engaged in an online course, and having over double the students he normally has will keep him and his seven assistant instructors busy.

“You are frequently contacting them, pushing them, motivating them to keep going,” Koh said.

Sunshine illuminates the Sample Gates on June 28 on the IU Bloomington campus.

In March, Provost Lauren Robel announced all summer classes would be online.

Media School professor Galen Clavio has been teaching an online summer class on sports social media for a few years and has also learned to adjust his teaching style.

“You have to have more energy,” Clavio said. “You have to maintain students’ attention.”

Clavio also has a larger class size this summer with 25 students instead of his usual 18. He has learned that having live, video-conference lectures is sometimes important but he also records lectures to give students more flexibility.

“Keep in mind Zoom fatigue is a real thing,” he said.

Clavio said he also keeps

his lectures short and uses the Canvas discussion page heavily to make sure students are reading the material and participating.

“A lot of times students feel more comfortable commenting instead of raising their hand,” Clavio said.

Even though Koh has taught online classes for years, he still had to adjust his class slightly to meet the fully-online requirements.

Previously, he would require students to take exams in person at a local university or library where they lived.

Now, exams are all online.

When the math department first asked Koh to create an online calculus class years ago, they weren’t sure what the demand would be like.

Now, as the coronavirus cancels in-person classes indefinitely, classes designed for online learning are more important than ever, and the end to spring semester was a taste of what the whole summer will be like for students and professors.

“If they haven’t done it before, they’ve gotten a lot of practice over the past six weeks,” Clavio said.

groups via Zoom.

Hood said he may organize a Facebook Live informal discussion with the other U.S. House of Representatives District 9 Democratic candidates because no local organization has done it yet.

“I don’t want this to become some campaign or vote where people are in the ballot box and they’re just like, ‘oh that name sounds cooler than that name,’” Hood said. “We want people to be informed.”

For Lamb, campaigning and keeping up his work as an attorney has made him a “Zoom expert.” For Thompson, the experience is a valuable lesson on how future campaigns might play out if there are more crises like the coronavirus pandemic.

“I think that future campaigns really have to be prepared for the reality of campaigning during a public health crisis,” Thompson said.

“There is a reality that you could be campaigning from your cell phone rather than going door to door.”

Weeks after the coronavirus shut down Bloomington and the IU campus, a new scooter company is in town.

Veoride scooter company had a soft launch of a small number of their new scooters April 20 in Bloomington.

“They reached out and they said, ‘we’re going to do a very small deployment so we can kind of get things going,’” said Alex Crowley, City of Bloomington director of economic and sustainable development.

Crowley said the Chicagobased company originally meant to launch immediately after spring break. He said Veoride told the city they decided to delay their launching plans since students were gone.

“They fully understand and recognize that students aren’t around,” Crowley said.

“It’s unlikely that there’s going to be a huge amount of ridership.”

Crowley said Veoride has a different charging system than Bird and Lime scooters.

Instead of having to take the scooter to charge it, Veoride has replaceable batteries.

Veoride CEO Candice Xie said Veoride is one of the first companies to use this charging technology. She said Bloomington is a perfect city to have their scooters in because of the city structure.

She said the company doesn’t know when they will drop off more scooters.

“It depends on how everything turns out after the virus,” Xie said.

Xie said the scooters could be an essential service for the city for people who are not comfortable riding public transportation during a pandemic. She

said the scooters could potentially be a safer option.

“We deployed a few to support transportation,” Xie said.

Regarding COVID-19, Xie said Veoride is alerting users of security and safety precautions. She also said employees wear gloves and masks to sanitize the scooters when they go to replace the battery every one or two days.

Crowley said Byrd and Lime scooters dropped off scooters unannounced and caused a disruption in the city’s transportation. Bloomington City Council decided to create an ordinance so new companies would apply for a scooter license.

“There was a little bit of craziness when the two had launched in Bloomington,” Crowley said.

Veoride applied and was approved Nov. 26, 2019 by the City of Bloomington Board of Public Works.

Freshman Megan Coddington said she thinks having another scooter company in Bloomington seems unnecessary.

She said she doesn’t use them routinely but knows other people use them to travel between classes. She said she thinks some people may like that Veoride is more environmentally friendly with the battery changes but it makes little difference to her.

“Unless their scooters are completely different where it goes a lot quicker than the other ones or has anything special about it,” Coddington said.

“It’s the exact same thing.”

also includes Jacob Moran, the younger brother of 141-pound rising junior Jonathan Moran, and Nico Bolivar, the younger brother of 141-pound rising sophomore Eddie Bolivar. Andrew Irick will also join the program.

The coaching staff rounded out the group with the addition of Indiana state champion Robert Deters in late April. Deters concluded his career at Castle High School with a 45-1 record at 170 pounds in his senior season.

The additions will look to help the Hoosiers improve on their 2-10 overall record last season. Lineup contributors Jake Hinz, Jake Kleimola and Davey Tunon all graduated. Liam Cronin, who advanced to the NCAA championships last season, is transferring to Nebraska for his final year of eligibility.

As of May 12, students in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, New York, New Jersey and Florida were able to receive care from IU Health for as long as their state allows, according to the IU Health Center Scheduler.

The IU Health Center recently decided to cut the summer fee in half to make its services more accessible to students. The fee is now $48.05, which includes telemedicine and in-person visits, with limited visitors, and two free virtual CAPS visits.

“They need to know that they can still look to us for any health care they might need,” Grogg said. “That we are going to be available to them through the summer

and beyond.”

Any in-state students can use IU Health Center services, even if they don’t take summer classes, and this includes graduating students.

Grogg said the health center realized it may be

difficult for students to get a job this summer, and it want students to still have access to care if they need it. If the cost of $48.05 is still prohibitive, Denise Hayes director of CAPS, said students can request for fee reduction by

filling out a form indicating their resources.

The number of services being used at the health center is down about 80% for this time of year, Grogg said. This is something that’s being seen across the na-

tion, he said. However, this could make the health center quickly overstaffed, Grogg said, and they can’t be in a position where they are losing a lot of money.

“We get used to practicing a certain way, and this is somewhat disruptive,” Grogg said.

They are seeing about 30% utilization of what they usually see in CAPS, Grogg said. However, Hayes said at this time students are reporting more feelings of loneliness, sadness, missing their friends and being in in-person classes. Similarly, in a survey sent to students, Grogg said the students also prefer in-person health services.

Whether or not a student is receiving care, Hayes suggests creating a routine, doing self-care, meeting with friends virtually and looking at the resources available through CAPS.

IU postpones projects, Bloomington accelerates construction

By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

Due to the coronavirus, some Bloomington construction projects are starting early and some IU construction projects are postponed because funding is under review. Ongoing IU projects are continuing as planned.

According to Gov. Eric Holcomb’s plan to reopen Indiana, infrastructure and construction projects are able to continue as essential work.

City of Bloomington spokesperson Yaël Ksander said a bright spot amid the coronavirus pandemic has been the ability for construction projects to work without disrupting too much of daily life. She said normally there would be much more traffic during the last few months with students on campus and commencement traffic.

“Many of the projects are able to take place without as much disruption as they would have caused,” Ksander said.

The water main replace-

Construction takes place May 13 behind McNutt Quad. Construction projects are considered essential and have been allowed to continue under Gov. Eric Holcomb's executive order.

ment project around the square began Monday. The project is replacing the oldest known water pipe in Bloomington, dating back to 1897. The project will last about four weeks with road closures on West Sixth and West Seventh streets, according to a City of Bloomington press release.

After the water main is replaced, the alley activation and pavement restoration project will begin. The project is one of Mayor John Hamilton’s seven public improvement Bicentennial projects. Ksander said the alleyways will feature special lighting, artwork and better pavement.

“The idea is to work on some of the downtown alleys to make them more exciting,” Ksander said. “Rather than just a place to make a shortcut.”

Some city projects have been accelerated due to the lack of students and foot traffic, Ksander said.

The Kirkwood renovation

project was originally set to begin May 11 but began six weeks early on April 1. The Kirkwood Avenue Maintenance project will replace deteriorated crosswalks and curb ramps while adding removable posts.

“The improvements will make life much sweeter for when people come back to Bloomington,” Ksander said.

The city is providing ways for workers to stay safe along with encouraging hygienic practices. Ksander said the city is implementing leave options available through the CARES Act. She said workers can receive a paid-leave option for up to 12 weeks if they need to take time to care for themselves, loved ones or children. Vehicles are sanitized routinely and workers are encouraged to drive separately rather than together in city vehicles.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said all ongoing construction is on track to be completed as planned.

Foster and McNutt Quads are still set to finish for the 2020 fall semester.

The Collins Center renova-

tion is on hold for review like many other unstarted projects.

Carney said projects that have been planned with already allocated funds are set to move forward. However, some projects are being temporarily put on hold until the university sets a budget for the next fiscal year regarding how to best utilize state appropriations.

“We're in sort of an uneasy situation regarding funding with the uncertainty that's happened with all of this,” Carney said. “We need to make sure of what our budget resources are going to pay for those things.”

One of those projects includes the new Stephen L. and Connie J. Ferguson International Center. The start date has been pushed back due to funding not yet being allocated for the project.

Privately funded projects are still able to continue as planned. There is a proposed new building for the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture and Design. Carney said it is fully funded by the Eskenazi family so it will proceed without disruption.

How Shonda Stanton unified a community

There’s a commotion coming from IU softball coach Shonda Stanton’s front yard. Her property is covered in gym equipment. Miniature orange cones dot the pavement. Agility ladders stretch across the road. Scooters lay aimlessly on the curb.

It’s 2 p.m. in Stanton’s neighborhood, and a group of about 10 kids eagerly waits.

That can only mean one thing: Class is in session.

The schools in Monroe County are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The students at IU have been sent home.

The softball season has been canceled.

Stanton slips on a pair of sunglasses, suits up in a crimson windbreaker and sets out for her driveway.

It’s P.E. time.

In late March, just as coronavirus was shutting down normal life, Stanton had a conversation with her neighbor Coleman Kavgian in her driveway.

Stanton, a mother of three, and Kavgian, who has two daughters, talked about how their kids would adjust to school.

And how, as parents, they would cope.

“Coleman, I’m doing P.E. everyday,” Stanton said.

When Kavgian got home later that night, she shot a text to Stanton.

“How about a coach Stanton P.E. class?” Kavgian typed. “Can we come over?”

The next day, Kavgian and her two daughters, Grace, 11, and Vera, 10, headed over to Stanton’s house. The first group consisted of Stanton’s son Josiah, 9, and the two girls. They made sure to abide by the social distancing guidelines.

“All right, give me 10 jumping jacks,” Stanton called out.

Grace worked her way through the set. After a couple more exercises, she was out of breath and gulped down half of her water.

“Okay, good warm-ups,” Stanton said.

Grace couldn’t believe it. That was just warm-ups?

Next, they sprang over hurdles. They scurried up a rope ladder. They finished with jogging on a trail.

When Grace got home, she splashed the rest of the water on her face and laid in bed until dinner.

Grace was assigned to write an “I survived” paper for her fifth grade class. Her story was titled: “I survived Coach Stanton’s gym class.”

Soon, word of Stanton’s sessions spread around the single-street, 14-house

neighborhood. Grace bragged to one of her friends about being able to workout with a Division I coach. Her friend wanted in. Others saw the lively crew outside.

Stanton kept it up almost every weekday. She put her class through ladder drills, ball handling skills, sprints and games of Simon Says.

“These kids are committed, I tell you,” Stanton said. “It gets the coaching juices in me flowing.”

To finish, they would circle up and share something about the day or what they were thankful for.

“It really got us through the quarantine,” Kavgian said. “It strengthened our neighborhood community. We’re so grateful for investing that time in our kids.”

In total, six families joined in. Parents who didn’t know each other besides a wave bonded. Kids got a break from online coursework. They stopped being “Zoombies,” as Stanton calls it.

A wide range of ages took part. Five year olds wobbled through a workout.

“I see you,” Stanton would say to motivate them.

Rainy days became the worst days. Everyone stayed home.

“We’re all on this earth running that relay race of life and living during this time,” Stanton said. “There’s a lot of peo-

ple that this is a really traumatic time for.

What can we do to get out from behind our laptop? Maybe it’s just picking up the phone and calling someone and saying ‘Hey, how are you doing.’”

In the softball program, they use the Chinese expression jiayou. The literal meaning is to pour oil into another person’s lamp. It’s a concept that Stanton, who is in her third year as head coach, has made one of the foundations of the program.

After more than a month of hard work and encouragement from Stanton, Grace noticed that the workouts got easier. The small neighborhood has become more tightlyknit. They are planning baseball and kickball games. Last Thursday marked the last day of online school.

Stanton gifted certificates and T-shirts for their final class.

Before the gathering, Josiah turned to his mom.

“Let’s work them hard,” he said.

And that’s what Stanton did.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

Commemorating some of the coolest moms in sports today Bradley Hohulin is a sophomore in marketing.

Not every son or daughter is equipped to celebrate Mother’s Day gracefully.

For some, Sunday brunch is the breakfast burrito you scarf down after rolling over at 11a.m. with a pounding headache in a desperate attempt to soak up Saturday night’s poor decisions. Yet each May, we brave the strange world of frittatas and mimosas out of admiration for the matriarchs in our lives.

These women have ample ways of showing love. Many of those appear in competitive athletics, whether it means suiting up with cleats and a mouth guard or simply toting a cooler full of Capri Suns.

Today, we commemorate the coolest moms in sports.

Kara Goucher As someone who has given birth, Goucher has probably suffered some of the worst physical pain a woman can experience. As someone who runs long distances for a living, she has definitely suffered some of the worst physical pain a human being can experience.

Shortly after the arrival of her son, Colt, in 2010, Goucher ran her fastest 26.2 miles with a time of 2:24:52.

Then, she won the USA Half Marathon Championships in 2012, followed by the San Antonio Half Marathon in 2015, with Colt likely receiving some seriously intense stroller rides along the way.

I have to wonder how Goucher first became aware of her pregnancy. Cramping, vomiting and an urge to devour anything vaguely resembling food may be common for expecting mothers, but they aren’t exactly rare sights among endurance runners either.

Kerri Walsh-Jennings Amid 2008’s Great Recession, America was in dire need of a hero. Its saviors arrived that summer, clad not in capes but in twopiece swimsuits.

Whenever the volleyball threat-

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Serena Williams practices during the fourth day of the Miami Open tennis tournament March 21, 2019 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. Williams was pregnant with daughter Alexis during her Australian Open win in 2017.

ened to hit the sand, Walsh-Jennings and partner Misty May-Treanor dove even harder than the U.S. economy. They tore through the Beijing Olympics, then placed first four years later in London with the added twist of Walsh-Jennings being over a month pregnant.

For one week in the seventh grade, I was tasked with caring for an egg meant to represent an infant. I could barely get my hard-boiled offspring to pre-algebra without evoking allusions to Humpty Dumpty, so I can only imagine carrying a child to a gold medal.

I was far from a perfect father. In my defense, no matter how enticing an omelette he could have become, I

never beat my son.

Candace Parker One injustice of motherhood is that several women are forced to put their careers on the back burner once they have a child. This appeared to be the case for Parker in 2009, when the WNBA Rookie of the Year and MVP welcomed her daughter, Lailaa.

But Parker was no stranger to rebounding. By the time Lailaa was in the third grade, Parker was once again the league’s MVP and owned a championship ring with the Los Angeles Sparks. With the multitude of trophies earned by her mother, I doubt Lailaa ever had much competition at show-and-tell.

Occasionally, young children will claim to their friends: “My dad could beat up your dad.”

Lailaa, however, holds the distinction of being able to boast: “My mom could cross your mom over and dunk on your dad.”

Serena Williams There are certain moments in which a contender’s resilience is truly put on display. The waning minutes of the fourth quarter. The last lap of the race. The eighth week of the first trimester.

That is precisely where Williams found herself during the 2017 Australian Open, one of many victories in her storied tenure. In case any

question remained regarding her legendary status, Williams then disclosed she nearly died from complications after the birth of her daughter, Alexis Olympia.

Williams has been the face of her craft and the most dominant individual athlete of any sport for two decades, so it makes sense that she could return any serve, be it from Maria Sharapova or death itself.

Alexis Olympia may be a miracle baby, but considering how little she aided Williams at Melbourne in 2017, she has to be the laziest doubles partner in the history of professional tennis. bhohulin@iu.edu

IU lands community college transfer Chris Bradberry

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

Chris Bradberry, an offensive lineman from Riverside Community College in Riverside, California, announced his commitment to the IU football program on Sunday via Twitter.

Bradberry was a member of San Jose State University’s 2017 recruiting class, but after redshirting his freshman year, the California native transferred to Riverside.

Bradberry will still have two years of eligibility at IU. The 6-foot-6-inch, 280-pound offensive lineman played tackle during his two seasons at Riverside and is expected to remain in that role for the Hoosiers.

Bradberry is the eighth offensive linemen to join IU as a member of the 2020 recruiting class. Sophomore Matthew Bedford and redshirt junior Caleb Jones are the expected starters at tackle, but Bradberry could

provide needed depth to the Hoosiers at tackle. There is still uncertainty that the college football season will start on time as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

This offseason, IU suffered the departures of linemen Coy Cronk, who transferred to Iowa for his final year of eligibility, and DaVondre Love, who graduated this spring.

“It has been a long journey and they [my family] have done nothing but sup-

port and push me to help me be the best version of myself, and who I am today,” Bradberry wrote in the tweet. “This has been a long journey, and going the JUCO route was the best option for me.”

JAC’S FACTS

SAM HOUSE | IDS

A student whose hands read “don't shoot” holds her hands in the air during a 2018 high school walkout.

Black men should not be forced to be martyrs Jaclyn Ferguson (she/her) is a rising junior studying journalism and African American studies.

A few years ago, I saw a quote by poet Jasmine Mans.

On a large white wall, in an empty room in defined black letters, it read: “My son will not be a martyr for a war he did not ask for.” Each and every time I read that quote, it hits me in a different place and cuts a little deeper than the time before.

The saddest and most disturbing part is I always have a reason to go back to that quote. Black men continued to be killed for nothing. They are unable to look into the bright eyes of their newborn.

They are unable to throw their cap in the air with glowing pride at graduation. They are unable to live a full and complete life, all because of

people who assume they are a threat.

Martyr. A person who suffers death rather than renounce their religion. A person who undergoes severe or constant suffering. A person who is put to death on behalf of a belief, often involving a sort of social justice.

War. A state of fighting between states and nations.

A struggle between opposing forces.

Black man. A person who often becomes a martyr unwillingly in the ongoing war of systemic racism and white supremacy in America. He did not ask for this war. But since the color of his skin is determined he was involuntarily placed into a battle that seems impossible to escape.

This was the heartbreaking reality for Ahmaud Arbery.

Ahmaud Arbery, only 25

years old, was murdered on Feb. 23 by a white father and son while he was out for a jog in Brunswick, Georgia.

According to the autopsy, Arbery was shot three times, twice in the chest. Thirteen gunshot pellets left his back.

They followed him throughout his jog and then confronted Arbery. Gregory and Travis McMichael were arrested on May 7 by agents from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and are facing felony murder and aggravated assault charges.

The men were arrested over two months after the murder, following the May 5 release of a disturbing video of them shooting Arbery that was put on social media.

The McMichaels thought Arbery was a burglary suspect. Just like George Zimmerman thought Trayvon Martin was “up to no good.”

Just like the police thought a 12-year-old Tamir Rice was a threat with a toy airsoft gun. Just like the police still thought Eric Garner was a threat after mumbling “I can’t breathe” while in a chokehold by a police officer.

Just like the police thought Stephon Clarke’s phone was a gun.

All it takes is a thought.

A thought derived from a cloud of racist beliefs that turns into deadly actions.

Thoughts that are deeply rooted in white supremacy and hateful hearts. These assumptions are deadly.

The fact that a mere assumption has been enough to prevent proper justice is sickening.

The assumptions are perpetuated by a lack of justice and a system that simply does not change. White supremacists will continue to

think they can get away with killing a black man simply because he is black as long as they can make up an excuse that validates why they would take an innocent life.

The system was not made to protect black people, and it has been proven time and time again. But the fight must continue. We must never give up on the fight to justice.

At times it seems impossible for a system to serve those it was never meant to protect. But that does not mean we should settle and continue to be numb to the deeply disturbing actions of white supremacists. The lives of future generations depend on it.

Because my son will not be a martyr for a war he didn’t ask for. jaraferg@iu.edu

HILLS TO DIE ON

Quarantine weight loss ads are dangerous physically and psychologically Kaitlyn Radde (she/her) is a rising junior studying political science.

Body-shaming online is nothing new, but it has entered a particularly dangerous and insidious phase due to COVID-19.

Social distancing guidelines keeping people in their homes also create spatial limitations on the amount of physical activity people can do and financial strains on the type and amount of food people have access to. Furthermore, a pandemic is a major stressor, which leads many to reach for comfort foods and have less physical and emotional energy to expend on exercise.

Regardless of the myriad of logical reasons for weight gain during this pandemic, weight loss schemes from fasting to detox teas have exploded on social media. Now more than ever, we need to be aware of how harmful those ads and products truly are.

Doctors and advocates sounded the alarm about the dangers of quick-fix weight loss products long before the pandemic. Many doctors agree such products should not be advertised without a health warning due to the potential for physical harm. Even before ingested, advertisements for such products can be a trigger for eating disorders and self-harm.

All of these consequences are compounded by our current circumstances, and some products and diets are particularly dangerous for those who are quarantined alone.

Eating disorders and other

ILLUSTRATION BY CARSON TERBUSH | IDS

mental health issues are worsened by isolation. There may be no one to call for help in the case of a medical emergency caused directly or indirectly by the toxic products many social media users, especially young women and girls, have been targeted by.

Even in the midst of a pandemic, with the worst unemployment rates since the Great Depression and countless people experiencing food insecurity, we are made to feel bad about consuming the

food we are privileged to have.

Of all the reasonable stressors in the world, we are asked to put self-loathing at the top of that list so that celebrities and grifters can turn a profit.

It is important to keep in mind that weight gain is not inherently unhealthy, and the idea that we need to log every workout and count every calorie comes more from a proliferation of companies and apps than from sound medical advice. Reducing workouts to calorie burn eradicates

their stress-relieving and mood-boosting qualities, and reducing food to calorie intake takes the fun out of food.

As we all know, universities closed campuses for COVID-19. Many college students who overcame or improved body image and mental health issues from earlier in life are back in spaces that are difficult for them. They are returning to families that talk about their bodies and food habits in an unhealthy and unhelpful way, to a dif-

ferent routine or to spaces that remind them of a difficult relationship with food or with their bodies.

Those struggles and stressors are reinforced by targeted ads on Instagram telling us we need to lose weight. It is incredibly difficult to overcome constant fat-shaming from each corner of our lives, especially if we’ve gone from a healthy routine at school to less healthy habits at our permanent homes.

A step in the right direction

would be to block the celebrities, companies and friends in pyramid schemes who won’t stop promoting detox teas and diet pills on social media, which can help to keep social media feeds encouraging rather than shaming. Let’s all give ourselves some grace during this pandemic, and let’s not give money to companies that want us to hate our bodies in the midst of a global health crisis. kradde@iu.edu

BEATS BY KEV

A ROOM WITH A REVIEW

The best summer songs for 2020

‘Petals for Armor’ aims for vulnerable, ends up a little wilted

Kevin Chrisco is a senior in journalism.

Summer is a time of peace, a much needed break in the monotony of schoolwork.

Rainbows twinkle across lawns, simpering in the nebulous mist of lawn sprinklers.

Everything dons a new intensity: relationships, emotions, nostalgia. Facades crumble, outward elegance is cast aside and replaced by more welcoming, disheveled looks.

Summers have their own soundtracks. They radiate joy, sprinkling magic across horizons. Each picturesque moment is backlit by major chords and poppy synths.

Even with the uncertain state of the world, it’s possible to find some solace in songs. Here are some bangers to toss into the rotation that can help bat away some of the dark clouds.

‘Super Natural’ by Turnover “Super Natural” is the massage therapy of songs.

The guitars are dreamy, they grab your hand softly and lead you into a field of sunflowers. The track is weightless, fluttering around like a monarch butterfly on a warm breeze. Every line transports me to some new, magnificent vista. Each note is a vacation.

‘Mexican Wine’ by Fountains of Wayne Fountains of Wayne will most likely always be known by our generation as “the band that made ‘Stacy’s Mom.’” “Stacy’s Mom” is a great song. I literally do not

care if you think it’s one of the whitest songs in history.

Those harmonies are absolutely god tier. Anyways, the band mastered power pop. Its 2003 album “Welcome Interstate Managers” is a masterpiece as is its second single.

“Mexican Wine” is all about the fickleness of the universe.

Everything is constantly changing, and things can be terrible at times. “But the sun still shines in the summertime,” and sometimes that can be enough.

‘Scavenging’ by Le Matos This almost two-minute instrumental from the soundtrack of Canadian film “Turbo Kid” infuses me with raw, unfiltered happiness.

I’ve never seen “Turbo Kid.” I honestly have no recollection of how I came across this song. But I’m glad I did.

The track manages to elicit a range of emotions with the steady beats of drum machines and ethereal synths.

It’s one of those songs that leaves you sad when it ends.

‘Song For You’ by Big Time Rush feat. Karmin “Song For You” is a relative deep cut from Big Time Rush’s 2013 album “24/seven.” “24/ seven” was the boy band’s last album, so the songs have a glossier sheen to them. The sound is more robust, clearly separate from their early tracks like “Boyfriend” and “Worldwide.” “Song For You” features a sugary synthline and the worst guest verse of 2013. Karmin’s guest spot is terribly corny, but if you’re lis-

tening to Big Time Rush you probably understand the joys of irony.

‘California English, Pt. 2’ by Vampire Weekend The companion piece to 2011’s “California English” is a glitchy, strange foray into straightforward synthpop.

For some reason California is romanticized as this grandiose utopia where the sun shines brighter. Sure, it’s better than Indiana. That’s not a particularly high bar to clear, but “California English, Pt. 2” almost makes me understand the hype.

‘Starships’ by Nicki Minaj “Starships” is the ultimate summer song. I still remember where I was the first time I ever heard it. It floated through the speakers of my father’s car as we drove back home from a soccer game. I cannot remember a majority of middle school, but I remember “Starships.”

‘There Is a Ledger’ by Wild Pink Wild Pink is a special band. Their songs are watercolors. Beautiful lyrics swirl around each other, swimming in the warm, colorful ocean of hazy guitars and soft drum beats. “I don’t know what happens next,” frontman John Ross sings. “But I hope we find peace.” The song is meant for those in-betweens, those silent, romantic moments in the evening when the world begins to sleep. kmchrisc@iu.edu

Annie Aguiar is a senior in journalism.

Hayley Williams’ debut solo album “Petals for Armor” is an argument.

Initially rolled out across three EPs, as Williams teased individual songs leading up to the album’s May 8 release, I don’t mean an argument in the sense of two people fighting (though an unhappy relationship is the basis for most of the album).

Williams is desperately trying to convince the listener that she is a more interesting artist than she ever was with her rock band Paramore, the emo pop punk pocket of energy that started in the early 2000s.

I’m not sure if I’m fully sold on the new Williams image, though I certainly don’t mind the pitch.

While the label “indie pop” hasn’t really meant anything for about a decade, Williams’ offering to the category seems to propose a definition of stripped down verses with interspersed choruses that pick one of two directions: funk or pure pop, all the while with a slightly cynical lens.

Maybe that’s why some of the songs particularly selling the vulnerability aspect of the album, in line with the titular metaphor, don’t quite work. The lyrics sound vague, and some tracks tend to sound like diet Paramore.

Williams’ talent has always been emotional honesty,

but in a darker, angrier vein than pop contemporaries.

Paramore’s 2009 album “Brand New Eyes” was my fifth grade emotional bible, and the vulnerability was always there. It’s just matured. Williams has always been a little mean, and the meanness has transmuted into the new album’s bright and bitter post-divorce jam “Dead Horse.”

Interestingly, it’s one of the most vulnerable songs on the album, even as others beg you to think she’s deep and complicated. As Williams recounts how the tainted foundation of a marriage that started as an affair crumbles, she includes a brutal bridge that’s just the repeated line, “When I said goodbye, I hope you cried,” a taunt that cuts deep.

Unlike “Dead Horse,” some of the songs seem a little undercooked. It’s hard to not think that the three-prong release strategy with five songs on each EP meant a little bit of the fat wasn’t trimmed. The weakest offerings are just retreads of previous tracks, with “My Friend,” “Sudden Desire” (which has a Demi Lovato soundalike chorus) and “Taken” as the hollowest offenders.

Weaknesses aside, Williams’ voice is a thing of beauty across the board.

At one turn it’s breathy and delicate like Billie Eilish, at another it’s a belt reminiscent of the Warped Tour

days, all before delivering a beautiful, standard pop performance.

It shines on “Why We Ever,” my personal favorite of the album that switches halfway through from a retro bop to a bare-bones plea to just talk with an ex, a moment’s line plucked from the air and transmuted into something like pathetic prayer.

It’s infuriating that the album goes in between songs like “Why We Ever” and the wickedly fun “Creepin’” to its low points. A later track, “Sugar on the Rim,” is Williams doing her best Madonna impression to awkward, confusing effect.

As a whole, the album feels caught in between Williams genuinely exploring ideas and themes and trying to meet the pressures of the moment, from the three-EP release, to the songs that sound more radio-ready than emotionally vulnerable, the overly repetitive choruses (a problem that gets so old, old, old by the third track she does it on).

Williams has been in the public eye for 15 years, and I worry her harsher sides have become rounded down by demands of market appeal.

The high points of the album prove that while an edgeless, Paramore-less Williams might not be a revolutionary artist, she’s at least smooth. aguiara@iu.edu
