IU must keep mold evidence, court says

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

INDIANAPOLIS — A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order on destruction of evidence Nov. 21 in the class action lawsuit against the Trustees of IU regarding residence hall mold problems.

The temporary restraining order will require the University to document mold through photographs or videos before removing the mold through remediation processes.

“Mold is evidence and it is being destroyed when rooms are remediated.

Jon Noyes, attorney representing students from Forest and McNutt quads

The court also stated that the University and the plaintiffs, students from Foster and McNutt Quads, are to communicate on how the plaintiff ’s “supplied expert” can take samples of the mold before remediation takes place. This was in response to the plaintiff ’s claim that they had proposed to pay for a third-party expert to take tape lifts and photographs of the mold before remediation and the University had not accepted their proposals.

“Mold is evidence and it is being destroyed when rooms are remediated,” said Jon Noyes, one of two attorneys representing the plaintiffs, in the hearing Monday. “We can’t test mold if it’s already cleaned up so we can’t know what type of mold students are being exposed to.”

Barge to potentially run for mayor

By Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

Amanda Barge, president of the Monroe County Board of Commissioners, wants her mayoral campaign platform to be informed by citizens’ feedback. If she decides to run, that is.

Barge announced four initiatives last week to hear citizens’ positive and negative feedback on the city. The meetings are part of an exploratory committee she opened earlier this month to help her decide whether to run against Mayor John Hamilton in the 2019 election.

“My heart is about people,” Barge said. “We always need to put people over politics.”

Barge said people started approaching her at community events several months ago about considering a run for mayor. She announced that she was considering a mayoral campaign Nov. 13, just a week after midterm elections.

Moving from the executive body of the county government to an executive role in the city would be a natural progression, Barge said.

For the second straight year, the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket was a must-win game for IU. Just like last season, the Hoosiers finished their season with another disappointing performance, losing 28-21 to the Boilermakers, and finishing the season with a 5-7 record and no postseason appearance.

Thanks to a dominant game from Purdue freshman wide receiver Rondale Moore, Purdue was always a step ahead of IU in all facets of the game.

IU never had a lead and it took a late consolation touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Peyton Ramsey to junior wide receiver Nick Westbrook just to make the contest appear close.

Here’s what you need to know from the final game of the 2018 IU football season.

1. The IU defense was powerless to stop Rondale Moore.

Coming into the game, everyone on both teams knew Moore would be the featured player in the Purdue offense. Despite this, he dominated the IU defense

come back from that deficit, and Moore’s ability to make explosive plays made all the difference.

Moore gave Purdue the ability to make plays down the field, something that IU failed to make a part of its offensive persona.

to the tune of 12 catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns. After a somewhat quiet first quarter, Moore exploded in the second with three catches for 72 yards, highlighted by a 56-yard touchdown grab near the end of the half.

“He was a difference-maker for us today,” Purdue Coach Jeff Brohm said. “He’s a guy the quarterback looks to and if you get

him one-on-one, he’s going to get the ball. He plays hard, he plays tough and he does all the small things right.”

When Purdue needed a big play, it looked to Moore and he provided. Along with his big touchdown catch in the second quarter, Moore also came up with a 33-yard score late in the third quarter, giving Purdue a twotouchdown lead. IU would never

2. IU’s offense was ineffective for most of the day.

Before Saturday’s game, Purdue was ranked 99th out of 129 teams in total defense. The Boilermakers were conceding an average of 437 yards per game and even though that trend continued against IU, the Hoosier attack was largely inefficient.

Ramsey’s final stat line of 345 passing yards and one touchdown may look gaudy at first glance, but 167 of those yards came in the fourth quarter, when IU had abandoned the running game in a search for quick scoring drives.

Water-themed art represents vital utility

By Sarah Lloyd sadlloyd@iu.edu | @sxrxh99

A request was sent in April 2018 to the artists of Bloomington to create an artwork that showcases Bloomington’s geology or water history.

The winning artist was chosen by the City of Bloomington Utilities members of the Utilities Service Board and the Bloomington Arts Committee.

The group recently decided that Ben Pines’ work was the best.

He said his oil paintings focus on the human aspect of Bloomington’s water and maintenance systems.

“The three paintings at the front customer service stations, each featuring a monumental presentation of a Utilities Department employee working in the lab, were made specifically for this exhibition,” Pines said in an email.

The installation is meant to affirm the value of public institutions and celebrate informed water management and its importance to life in Bloomington, he said.

Pines’ work revolves around landscapes and portraits, and his work has been exhibited in Indiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania.

Pines is an IU alumnus and graduated with a master’s degree.

He currently teaches 2D design at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center and gives private painting and drawing lessons. Pines is also an employee at Pygmalion’s Art Supplies.

Pines said that in a few of his paintings, he created huge win-

dows with sky and landscape details showing through them, even though the facility is relatively closed off. He said he did this to portray the feeling of openness and freedom that he experiences living in Bloomington.

“In this project, the City’s Utilities department requested artwork that would speak to its mission of providing clean water to the citizens of Bloomington,” Sally Gaskill, Bloomington Arts Commission chairwoman, said

in an email. “Ben Pines’ beautiful paintings send the message of the impact of clean water on our lives, and benefit the artist by providing a place for his work to be seen by the public.”

Gaskill also said the Bloomington Arts Commission believes in the power of public art and “marrying” art to a certain location.

On Oct. 29, the CBU began showcasing Pines’ work as an installation in the lobby of the City of Bloomington Utilities Service

Center. The service center is located at 600 E. Miller Drive, and the paintings will be on display there for a year. CBU is open 5 days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Bloomington has always had to be creative to sustain a plentiful and safe water supply,” CBU Director Vic Kelson said in a press release. “With this installation, we have tapped into our local creative resources to raise awareness of our unique relationship with water.”

Council revamps campus outreach

By Ellen Hine emhine@indiana.edu | @ellenmhine

When graduate student Bronson Bast came back to IU in 2018 to pursue master’s degrees, the director of Sustain IU asked him to rejoin the office’s Student Sustainability Council in a leadership role.

As an undergraduate, Bast was a peer educator for Sustain IU and a member of the Sustainability Council, a student group that encourages environmental awareness at IU and administers student-funded improvement projects around campus.

Bast and four other students make up the Student Sustainability Council executive board. Individual members and representatives from student groups make up the rest of the group.

The council is trying to revamp its projects’ scope and visibility. Bast said it has been difficult for students to interact with projects the group has funded in the past.

He said he would be interested in seeing students propose initiatives that would make everyday life at IU more sustainable, such as making the campus buses more environmentally friendly.

One of the council’s main responsibilities is administering the Student Sustainability Fund. Students can donate $5 to the fund when they enroll in classes every semester by billing the expense to their bursar.

The council uses the money to fund sustainability projects around campus, including energy efficient lights in Ballantine Hall and a rain garden at the Student Recreational Sports Center.

ALEX DERYN | IDS

Any student or IU employee can propose a sustainability project to council.

“If IU is going to be a leader in climate change action, students need to be there to advocate for those policies.”

Bronson Bast, Sustainability Council executive board member

“I think it really pushes people to collaborate with other people that they otherwise wouldn’t collaborate with,” said board member Erin Arick, a senior studying marketing and international business.

The council’s work is

not just administering the student fund. Junior Cally Wilken said the council also works to make the IU community more aware of sustainability, especially by focusing on people unaware of environmental issues.

“It’s kind of our job or the University’s job to teach its students about environment and environmental concerns,” Wilken said.

“So that’s a big part of why we want these projects to be super visible, because it will educate students.”

Bast said traveling to the Philippines to serve in the Peace Corps opened his eyes to the social effects of climate change. He helped fishermen who were struggling to find fish because coral reefs in the area were dying.

“You just see the im-

pacts and realize it’s the issue of our generation,” Bast said.

Wilken said students will use what they learn about sustainability in college to live a more environmentally conscious life.

However, these lessons can also be applied to current day problems at IU. Bast said students can advocate for sustainability changes at IU in ways other community members cannot.

Faculty and staff may have a difficult time suggesting new policies since they are employees of the University, while students have the freedom to request changes.

“If IU is going to be a leader in climate change action, students need to be there to advocate for those policies,” Bast said.

Former student accused of murder

By Caroline Anders

Sustain IU has a Student Sustainability Council in the IU E-House. The IU E-House is located at 704 E. 10th St. and has office hours 1-3 p.m. Fridays.

8 at Ferguson Dog Park in Bloomington, welcoming all well-behaved dogs and owners. Bring your dog to have their photo taken with Santa Paws. Dogs must be spayed or neutered and have up-to-date vaccinations.

A former IU student was arrested Nov. 7 on charges related to the stabbing death of his 64-year-old mother in Grover Beach, California.

Levente Laszlo Lazar, 26, was living in Bloomington at the time of his arrest. He was initially held in the Monroe County Correctional Center but will be extradited to California.

Lazar’s mother, Athena Valentiny, was discovered stabbed to death Oct. 25 when police went to her home for a welfare check. Officers said they believe she was killed the day before.

It would have taken Lazar 32 hours to drive to Grover Beach or about five hours to fly from Indianapolis. Initial information released did not indicate how he traveled.

San Luis Obispo County investigators trekked the more than 2,000 miles to Bloomington where they questioned and eventually arrested Lazar on a murder charge, which

police say was premeditated.

Bloomington Police Department Capt. Steve Kellams said the investigators worked out of the BPD headquarters for a couple of days, but his department did not have any other involvement in the case.

In its initial press release after finding Valentiny, the Grover Beach Police Department asked for the public’s help in one key detail of the case — Valentiny’s missing dog.

The dog, the press release said, was her “constant companion” but could not be found in her home after the stabbing.

Police believe the dog, also named Athena, ran from the home between Oct. 24 and 25.

According to Lazar’s Facebook page, he studied U.S. history at IU and worked as a graduate student instructor.

The page also says he is from Budapest, Hungary, and goes

by Levi.

A spokesperson for the University said Lazar was not enrolled as a student as of Fall 2018.

Small businesses partner to create community

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

When shopping or dining in Bloomington, it is not unusual to see an item from another local shop for sale.

Kurtis Cummings, coowner of Switchyard Brewing Company, said the company’s core reason for partnering is to be as sustainable a business as possible. They strive for environmental, economic and community sustainability.

“One of the reasons we have so many partnerships is because we believe in being responsible stewards in our community,” Cummings said.

Kassie Jensen, co-owner of Two Sticks Bakery, said the bakery’s partnership with Switchyard started when the

Switchyard owners offered them their leftover spent grain.

Spent grain is the grain that is left over after the beer making process. There is usually a large amount left over after a brew. Cummings said it’s usually around 600 pounds. The leftover that isn’t baked into dog treats by Two Sticks Bakery is picked up by a local farmer to feed the cattle.

Cummings said they try to find different uses of the grain to make sure their process is sustainable.

In addition to sustainability, Cummings said the partnerships helps reach different demographics which ultimately helps bring in new customers for all the businesses involved. He said

HALEY KLEZMER | IDS

The Big Cheeze is typically parked in front of Switchyard Brewing Company at 419 N. Walnut St.

Bloomington businesses all tend to have a natural affinity to one another because they share similar values.

“If you operate a business in Bloomington, you put it here for a reason,” he said.

One of Switchyard’s most important partners is Hopscotch Coffee. Hopscotch offers a specialty blend at Switchyard called the Kickstart Blend. They also use this in their Hopscotch Coffee

Stout.

Another partnership is the Big Cheeze food truck. It parks right in front of Switchyard to allow customers to get food.

He said the partnership came about because co-owner Jeff Hall and him used to work on an ambulance and the Big Cheeze was one of the places to get food in the middle of the night.

“We would regularly go to the Big Cheeze when we worked on the ambulance and we got to know the workers really well,” Cummings said.

Switchyard offers tea from Cup and Kettle Tea Company to patrons who prefer it to coffee.

Cup and Kettle Tea Company owner Jessica Messmer

said working with others was always part of her plan.

“We believe as a company that partnering with local businesses helps create synergy and vitalization for downtown,” Messmer said. “We feel that it helps downtown businesses as a whole.”

The Inkwell, the Pourhouse Cafe and Bloomingfoods are among many local cafes that serve and sell Cup and Kettle tea.

They partner with Hopscotch Coffee and Brown County Coffee for the coffee they use in their store.

“Besides the warm, fuzzy feelings you get from working together it also helps to create community, and that’s what we're all about,” Messmer said.

Pikes fundraise for animal shelter

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

Dogs run all around Pi Kappa Alpha. Members fall over themselves to make sure Rey, Cash, Jayda, Boba and Jax’s needs are tended to, Pike president Daniel Stein said.

However, a few more dogs will be at the residence with the upcoming Pikes and Pups event.

Pikes and Pups is a charity event organized by Pi Kappa Alpha, benefiting Bloomington Animal Shelter. Dogs from the animal shelter and from Pike members will be available for attendees to play with

6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Pike residence. A ticket to the event costs $5.

Stein said this specific event came from the chapter’s widespread love of animals and from already being around dogs so much. Stein said if the dog’s owner isn’t there, then the dog has over 100 caretakers ready to step in.

“Since we already have so many dogs around and we all love animals, we thought we could help benefit the animal shelter,” Stein said.

Sophomore Ben Green, Pike philanthropy chair, is the main organizer of the event.

He said he drew inspiration

from past Pike events, many of which involved dogs. Some ideas also came from looking at what other Pike chapters around the country were doing.

Green said while the dogs can’t be adopted at the event due to administrative procedures, the exposure will help them find good homes.

The event is open to anyone because the organization wants everyone to have the opportunity to support a great cause, Stein said.

“We encourage anyone that goes to school or just lives in Bloomington to come out and support,” Stein said.

Through a partnership with the North Central Church of Christ, Pike is allowed to use its parking lot, Stein said.

Stein said the good nature between the two groups is because the chapter consultant for Pike is a pastor at the church. Another reason for the good will is the chapter’s involvement with the church, having volunteered at the Halloween event last October.

The bottom line is helping the Bloomington community and getting the dogs into loving homes, Stein said.

“We just want to help make a difference in the community,” Stein said.

Recent IU alumna named as 2019 Rhodes Scholar

By Ann Lewandowski anlewand@iu.edu | @alewandowski17

Jennifer Huang, a 2017 IU graduate, was named a 2019 Rhodes Scholar earlier this month, according to an IU press release.

The academic award is given to only 32 college students in the United States each year, according to the release, and includes a scholarship covering all expenses for two to three years of study at the University of Oxford in England, and in some instances may allow funding for four years.

Huang graduated with honors from IU with a 3.95 grade-point average and a bachelor's degree in mathematics and social and cultural analysis, according to the release.

“Jenny is a rare and refreshingly different kind of student, a pure thinker who defined herself in terms of her intellectual interests,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in the release.

Huang was one of more than 2,500 students who applied to the scholarship, according to the release. Only 880 of those applicants were endorsed by their colleges and universities and the strongest candidates were interviewed by selection committees across the country.

Bursar billing and group sales available!

Huang said she is humbled and honored to be named a Rhodes Scholar and is grateful for her faculty, mentors and friends who helped along the way.

“This university has shaped the values that I bring to my research, storytelling and public service,” Huang said in the release. “I look forward to carrying those experiences to Oxford and beyond.”

While she was a student at IU, Huang used her undergraduate thesis to explore Iceland’s renewable energy industry, and co-authored a paper about the French revolution for the science journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, according to the release.

Huang serves as the civic engagement program coordinator at the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago, as well as a policy associate for the office of the mayor of South Bend.

According to the release, Huang is the second Rhodes Scholar from IU in the past three years, and is one of only 18 IU alumni to receive the award since 1905.

With the Rhodes Scholarship, Huang plans to study public policy and the social science of the internet at Oxford, according to the release.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Nuclear waste: the problem that won't go away Nuclear energy has been an ever-evolving part of technology since the beginning of the 1940s.

It has been contested on several fronts, but the question at hand is not about whether or not we ought to further pursue nuclear energy — its potential to mitigate effects of climate change and its energy source sustainability are enough to continue the research into the matter — but rather the question is about how to combat the growing rate of radioactive waste it produces.

President Donald Trump voiced an opposition this October to fund a deep geological repository in Yucca Mountain, Nevada to permanently store the country’s high-level nuclear waste, pushing progress on nuclear waste management further into the future.

However, this announcement was contradictory to his previously proposed budget for 2018, which allocated $120 million to fund this project.

Both President Barack Obama’s and Trump’s administrations have failed to properly address the issue of radioactive waste build-up due to the force of political pressure and selfish motives.

Researchers among the international community have concluded that the most optimal solution, as of late, is the construction of singular, deep geological repositories for permanent storage of high-level waste.

Finland is currently leading the way in the construc-

ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN POWERS | IDS

tion of the Onkalo Spent Nuclear Fuel Repository at the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant on Olkiluoto Island, Finland. And other countries such as France and Sweden have taken substantial steps to follow in this lead.

However, the United States has halted progress on a similar repository.

In 1987, the U.S. Department of Energy amended the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 to recommend Yucca Mountain for the location of the nation’s repository. The

recommendation went to Congress with grand support, but Nevada vetoed the approval. The veto was soon overturned by Congress due to the nation’s overwhelming support.

However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld Nevada’s appeal in 2004. The court stated that the repository would be required to ensure prevention of leaks for one million years before it could be approved for licensing.

Research has since come far in regards to the type of rock needed to surround such a repository, the materials best suited for immediate storage containers and the methods of reducing waste through nuclear reprocessing facilities to recycle massive amounts of Plutonium and Uranium.

Nevada vetoed the construction of the repository because of disapproval and fear from people living in the area.

Nevada’s congressmen have fought to keep the repository

out of the state in order to gain their public’s approval and hope for a re-election.

Similar motives have come from the executive level. Obama and Trump both removed funding recommendations for a singular repository due to their need for support from Nevada congressmen for other political agendas.

But the state of spent nuclear fuel and other highlevel wastes in the country is not one to take lightly.

Without a permanent

deep geological repository for final storage, this waste is left to sit in what is built to be interim storage at nuclear reactors, of which there are currently 98 licensed to operate all across the U.S., according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This number is significantly more than any other country’s and is roughly 20 percent of all nuclear reactors in the world.

Furthermore, these current interim storage facilities often are only built to properly store high-level waste for up to 50 years and are incredibly more expensive than a single repository would be, according to a 2013 report from the Nuclear Energy Agency.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry said, “We have a legal responsibility. We have this waste out there. We need to have this licensing issue addressed.”

But this is more than just a legal responsibility; it is an ethical responsibility, regardless of the status of law, to protect the earth and all possibilities of future generations. Without this repository, there is no other solution.

What has become a political issue needs to be regarded as what it truly is: a humanitarian and ethical issue.

President Trump needs to redirect his focus on the Yucca Mountain repository, ignore political pressures and push for further research and development of radioactive waste in order to ensure future sustainability for lives, the environment and the economy.

EMMA GETZ IT

MATT-ER OF FACT

Therapy is a helpful resource for everyone

Kim and Kanye show us how money is a shield from climate change

Emma Getz is a junior in English and history.

My instinctual response to sadness and distress is to fold inwards and internalize it until it goes away. Perhaps this is common.

Burdening our friends and family with our own problems is emotionally taxing both personally and to the other person. Perhaps the problems we face are too personal and we don’t want to appear vulnerable. For me, the problem is that I lack the words to even talk about what I am feeling. The feelings are locked somewhere inside me that I do not know how to access on my own.

This isn’t anything new.

The first time I went to therapy, I was in elementary school and dealing with a traumatic family situation.

To be quite honest I don’t really remember the details,

but it was the first time I had the opportunity to talk to an outside source about my feelings and experiences.

Things started changing for me early in high school.

My sadness felt out of my own control, to the point where I could not handle nor understand it. It was like staring into a void.

This is where therapy becomes incredibly valuable.

At its most simple, it gives you someone to talk to who understands the way human brains work. What is inexplicable and scary for me was completely normal for a professional.

Immediately, I could start to understand the things that were holding me back, which ranged from depression and anxiety to an eating disorder. Moving forward, I understood how to approach the feelings that had confused me for such

a long time. I could also access prescriptions for these illnesses that cleared my mind and put me in the correct head space to directly confront and combat my symptoms.

One of the biggest stigmas that sways people from talking about mental health is that these problems are not common. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 18.5 percent of U.S. adults experience mental illness in a given year. That is about one in five people, which is significant. Chances are many of your peers have shared experiences with mental health.

The truth is, therapy is helpful even if you do not have any mental illnesses.

To put it simply, everyone suffers in their own way from time to time, and it is always a good idea to talk to

someone who can help you.

This is true for things such as dealing with grief and trauma to dealing with stress from classes or work.

Therapy will not fix your problems, or at least not immediately. The most valuable thing that I have gained is learning new approaches to fixing these problems myself, or learning to live with them in a healthy way. I have learned new ways of thinking that I otherwise never would. Progress takes time, but it has opened up my entire world.

Don’t be afraid to seek out a therapist or any other mental health specialist.

Visit CAPS here on campus, or find other professionals in the area. I promise it is worth your time, even if only to talk to someone who will listen to you. emmagetz@iu.edu

ASKING ALVARO

The lesson of patience from the 35mm camera Alvaro Michael is a senior in computer science.

Sparked by a new interest in photography, I went to Vintage Vogue a few weeks ago to find myself a little 35mm camera, one that requires you to load a roll of film.

I spent only $10 for a weather-resistant, zoomcapable, auto-focusing, redeye-removing, hyphenand-hyphen Pentax. In the early 1990s when it was first sold, it probably cost 10 times that. It’s a hefty camera too, one that I can feel bumping against me when I keep it in the pocket of my coat.

With the meticulous air of a nineteenth-century scientist, I carefully inserted a roll of 36 exposures into the back of the camera, crossing my fingers that I would not somehow screw up and ruin everything. After I snapped the cover shut, the camera whirred as its motor reeled the first frame into place, and the number on the LCD panel bumped from zero to one.

Success.

I was relieved that I’d come this far without mistakes, since mistakes seemed easy to make. But there was still the question of whether this old camera could still capture images properly. I was eager to take just one picture and then look to see if it was good, but that is not

possible with an analog camera. After all, there’s no screen to view. You have no way of knowing if a picture turned out okay until you get around to having it developed in a lab.

But that is how it used to be. Our modern phones and digital cameras allow us to review every picture we take instantly, although even the word “instantly” doesn’t feel fast enough. Computer memory is hardly an issue either— your phone alone can store thousands of pictures, so you don’t have to worry about deleting them.

The experience of the analog camera, however, is quite different from the digital cameras we’re now used to. I’ve realized that analog cameras and camera phones bring out different qualities in ourselves. The camera phone asks us to be spontaneous, simply because it allows us to do so. There is nothing holding you back, it exclaims, time and memory are problems of the past. Come on, you can look at all your photos right away, no need to worry at all.

The more the better. Every moment spent without a picture is a moment lost forever.

On the other hand, film cameras ask something quite different of us. Slow down, they say. You have only a set number of pictures you can take. Make them count. Take

ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN POWERS | IDS

pictures only of the moments that you think matter.

In other words, film cameras require more thought and patience of the user than the digital ones. You can’t take a hundred selfies in one sitting, or else you’d be wasting your roll of film. Rather, you have to think hard about what to photograph—when you see the right moment, you don’t let it go.

Weeks pass by between when you snap the first frame and when you finally get to see it. So film cameras are a way of reminding us of our recent past, which often gets forgotten in our phones or erased altogether on Snapchat. When you get back your pictures, glossy and slightly grainy, you go back in time.

This picture is from the party.

This one is from the cookout, the football game or the time it snowed.

Personally, I’ve gotten the urge to look over my pictures again and again now that they’ve come in—it feels almost nostalgic. The waiting has paid off.

I’ve been wondering if maybe we are moving so fast that we too easily forget the details of what we’ve done in the past weeks and months.

We’re focused on the present and the near future, but it’s good to remember what we’ve just done instead of putting it to the back of our brain or phones. Film cameras are a good way of allowing us to do that.

Maybe that is the lesson to learn from these older, slower pieces of technology.

We need to be more patient, more reflective of life as it passes by and take things at a more deliberate pace. alvmicha@iu.edu

Matthew Waterman is a senior in jazz studies and theater.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are once again the subject of public criticism, and this time it’s not over Kanye’s bizarre embrace of President Trump — which now appears to be a thing of the past.

The couple owns a mansion in California’s Hidden Hills, an area threatened by the Woolsey fire, one of the two wildfires that ravaged the state. They hired a private firefighting company to protect their home.

This episode is giving us a glimpse into the future. As the climate worsens and natural disasters grow in severity and frequency, shielding the rich from climate change’s effects will become one of the most lucrative industries.

Climate change, if left unchecked, will eventually wreak havoc on everybody, rich and poor. But until and unless its effects reach extinction-threatening levels, climate change will be another problem the rich can buy their way out of.

The decision by West and Kardashian to hire private firefighters really isn’t as newsworthy as it seems. Private firefighters are not new, and they are used by many ultra-rich residents of fireprone areas, such as Southern California. Some insurance companies offer private firefighting services to wealthy clients.

This trend shows no signs of reversing. Protection from climate change is treated as a commodity in the U.S. and other neoliberal societies. It will be available only to those who can afford it.

Kardashian has defended the decision by claiming the private firefighters were there to protect her whole neighborhood. If that’s true, so what? There’s no significant moral difference between protecting your own mansion and protecting a small number of mansions owned by your obscenely rich neighbors. If Kardashian and West were motivated by a desire to protect a community, they could have sent the private firefighters to a poor, densely populated neighborhood.

The issue goes beyond the optics of a rich celebrity couple staying safe while others lose homes, possessions and lives to the catastrophic fires.

Private firefighters can make it harder for public firefighters to do their jobs.

The private firefighters who protected the couple’s home did not get permission to enter the evacuated zone where they were working. That made them another protection responsibly for the public firefighters.

Money can ease the impact of virtually all of climate change’s effects. In a climaterelated food shortage, the rich can still afford food. In a drought, they can afford to buy water. In a hurricane, they can afford to evacuate and replace lost property.

Climate change and wealth inequality are reaching extreme levels at the same time. They make for a volatile combination that will define tomorrow’s political landscape. Get ready to see this issue crop up a lot more often.

The privatization of climate change adaptation is not just an inevitable part of the future; it’s already underway. matwater@iu.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The party who initiated legal action includes seven named students, and because of its class-action nature, an undetermined number of other students are also involved.

Although students are the official plaintiffs, parents have been a driving force in mold complaints.

The Monday hearing was to determine if the plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction would be necessary. The plaintiffs requested the restraining order to stop the University from making misleading or inaccurate statements to students and to stop it from destroying evidence of mold before preserving evidence of it.

The first request, which would have limited the University’s communications with students and parents because of plaintiff ’s claim of IU producing misleading or inaccurate statements, was denied. The court said there was not enough evidence to imply the University has been misleading students, lying to them or coercing them.

During the hearing, attorneys representing the students and parents argued

In the 2015 Democratic primary, however, Hamilton won 3,970 votes to Darryl Neher’s 2,760 and John Linnemeier’s 91, according to Monroe County Democratic Party Chair Mark Fraley.

Barge volunteered for Hamilton’s 2015 campaign and voted for him. But she and others have not been satisfied by the lack of inclusion and transparency they’ve seen in the administration. She said she reached a turning point when the administration publicly posted details on residents’ overdose death data.

She plans to talk with larger groups at people’s homes, organizations and neighborhoods.

Barge said she will also visit commercial spaces to learn more about the small business community.

Barge graduated from IU with degrees in gender studies and political science before earning her master’s in social work at the University of Texas at Austin. She has owned a local private practice since 2011.

Barge said she is willing to visit dorms, houses or anywhere else on campus to meet with as many students as she can.

“Having grown up here, I know how important students are to this community,” Barge said.

She is operating with a small team of volunteers and is collecting donations to fund professional staff.

She has a small business tour, some group events and five coffees scheduled for this week.

Should she win the Democratic primary, Barge said she would eventually resign from the county commissioner position. But right now, she is focused on serving the county.

“I’ll be doing my job just as I did before,” Barge said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ent looks,” IU Coach Tom Allen said. “We had more yards than they did, but that doesn’t really matter. It’s about points.”

Points were something the Hoosiers were sorely lacking against a defensive unit that was one of the more porous in the Big Ten. The Purdue defense was giving up an average of 28 points per game, yet IU only managed to score 21 points, with seven of those coming near the end of the game.

It took nearly 20 minutes of game time for the Hoosiers to get on the board, and they fell silent again after freshman running back Stevie Scott’s touchdown with more than 10 minutes to play in the second quarter.

IU didn’t score again until halfway through the final quarter, making its drought between scores 33 minutes and 19 seconds.

Despite scoring twice in six minutes late in the fourth quarter, those two long stretches had dealt too much damage to IU’s Old Oaken Bucket and bowl hopes.

3. The Hoosiers will miss a bowl game for the second straight year after another disappointing season.

Following IU’s 3-0 start, expectations were much higher than they were at the

beginning of this season.

Once Big Ten play started, things began to look like similar to seasons past.

Close losses against conference opponents began to pile up, and once again, IU came into the Old Oaken

Bucket game in need of a win to extend its season.

Instead of an inspired, hungry performance from a team fighting for its postseason life, the Hoosiers were uninspiring and lethargic on both sides of the

ball. Defensive mistakes and penalties cost the defense again, and there simply wasn’t enough offense to give IU a chance to win.

“I just told out young men, if you did everything in your power to prepare

yourself to play your best this week and you played your heart out for 60 minutes, you got nothing to be ashamed of,” Allen said.

“But if you didn’t, you know that and you can’t change the past.”

A

t first, Tasha didn’t realize her tortoise was missing.

She had raised Merlin from the time he was a hatchling and could fit into the palm of her hand. Now he was 16 years old, weighed 65 pounds and lumbered around her backyard. He was drawn to the color red and loved bright hibiscus plants. He chased her family’s red tractor. He would shake his butt if she scratched his shell.

He was, Tasha says, a “peopleperson” tortoise and would greet visitors with an almostsmile. She named him Merlin because he seemed magical.

On that Friday morning last year, Tasha Chapel, 35, noticed that Daisy, her other African sulcata tortoise, was in the backyard sunbathing without Merlin. She checked the yard, but he was gone. Soon neighbors and strangers were looking, too, and Tasha posted online about missing Merlin. In the middle of the search, a Zionsville police officer drove by, and Tasha gave him and the department a heads up.

Late that afternoon, several people said they had seen Merlin a street away from Tasha’s house, and they posted photos of him in front of a white fence.

One of her friends suggested reaching out to a man who lived on that stretch of road. Tasha knocked on the man’s door. No answer. She called his number.

No answer. She left a message.

By then, it was getting dark, so she returned home.

Just after 10 p.m., the man called back.

“Have you seen my Merlin?” she asked. “Do you have him?”

“I’m sorry to tell you this,” she recalls the man answering. “But I did see him, and I shot him.”

In the police investigation and court case that followed, Brandt Lawson said he fired at least eight bullets from a .22-caliber long rifle into Merlin, and some bullets were aimed into his “head hole.” He said he did it because he thought Merlin was a dangerous snapping turtle.

Merlin’s violent death led Tasha to start a Facebook page called “Justice for Merlin.”

“Its horrific, inhumane, disgusting, murder, thievery, and absolutely a traumatic experience,” the page’s pinned post reads. “Our hearts are bleeding for our lost pet.”

Thousands of people responded to the page, some venting outrage.

“Merlin’s Murderer SHOULD GO TO JAIL” “i would put a bullet thru this mans head” “Hopefully someone blows that mans brains all over the place so he can go to the lowest pits of hell where he belongs.”

Soon, Lawson had hired offduty police officers to sit at the end of his driveway.

Burrowed into the details of the case was a simple question of whether the life of a tortoise mattered. Had Lawson committed a murder, or was he merely disposing of a problem?

The Boone County Pros-

‘Justice for

Merlin’ A tortoise beloved by his family escaped.

When a neighbor shot and killed him, was it murder or destruction of property?

COURTESY PHOTOS

Top Merlin was a 65-pound, 16-year-old African sulcata tortoise. He loved being scratched on his neck and cheek and would shake his butt when Tasha scratched his shell. He was a “people-person” tortoise.

Bottom Daisy, left, and Merlin grew up and lived in Tasha’s backyard together.

Tasha said Daisy acted attention-starved after Merlin’s death, and he believes it was a confusing time for her.

ecutor’s Office filed a criminal charge against Lawson, but it only amplified the question.

Tortoises – along with other cold-blooded animals and some common pets such as hamsters – are not classified as domestic animals under state law, so Lawson could not be charged with a felony. He was instead charged with criminal mischief for property destruction, a misdemeanor. Lawson and his attorney declined to speak with the Indiana Daily Student.

Sulcata tortoises can live for more than a century, and in captivity, they can outlive their human owners. Knowing this, Tasha had placed Merlin in her will, stipulating that upon her death the tortoise would go to her son.

For less than a quarter of his life span, Merlin was — and still is, to Tasha — part of her family.

Sulcatas are native to the southern edge of the Sahara desert, though their population has been depleted in part due to habitat destruction and because they are often harvested for food and the pet trade. Their diet consists mainly of different grasses. They can be aggressive toward one another but rarely toward humans.

Now, sulcatas can be found on Craigslist, in pet stores and at shows like the one where Tasha bought Daisy and Merlin.

Sulcatas are often described as curious and personable and have different personalities, so some may be more friendly than others. Day Ligon, an associate professor of biology who studies turtles and tortoises at Missouri State University, said when compared to some other tortoises, sulcatas readily take to people and may stand around waiting for scratches on their necks. That’s one place Merlin liked to be scratched.

Dustin Smith, curator of reptiles and amphibians at the North Carolina Zoo, said sulcatas will inspect new visitors, possibly to see if they have food.

They may also start to build a bond with people they see often, like their owners.

“It’s like having a dog with body armor,” Smith said.

Craig Stanford, the chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group and a professor at University of Southern California, has always been intrigued by the duality of a tortoise’s shell.

“How ironic,” he said, “that a tortoise that just seems utterly protected like a tank in armor, an armored tank, is utterly defenseless against humans.”

Since she was a little girl, Tasha has loved turtles and tor-

toises. She and her brother took care of two wild box turtles they named Spike One and Spike Two after the “The Land Before Time” character. She and her brother would take care of them outdoors in the summer and release them before hibernation season.

But Spike One and Spike Two would come back to them the next year.

“I wish people could look at and learn from animals because, I mean it’s like, they love us no matter what,” Tasha said.

“And people can be like, ‘Oh, reptiles don’t love you.’ No, I’m pretty sure mine do. I think we could all learn so much from them if we actually just slowed down for a minute.”

Tasha was preparing for her wedding when Merlin escaped and was killed on Aug. 31, 2017.

That afternoon, her son and fiancé were working in the yard where Merlin lived with Daisy.

The backyard was surrounded by a chain-link fence reinforced with zip-ties, stakes and shrubbery, and Tasha had added more reinforcements just two weeks before Merlin got out.

She still has no idea how he got out but suspects he was excited by the possibility of new friends and “sweet freedom.”

By the time Tasha noticed he was missing, Merlin was already dead.

Lawson’s blunt statement that he shot Merlin still rings in Tasha’s ears. She was shocked.

She hung up, cried and then called the Boone County Sheriff ’s Office.

Lawson told Deputy Hannah Fisher, the county’s animal control liaison, he had been outside working on his fence when he saw the animal in the road and thought it was an unusually large snapper. He called his next-door neighbors to let them know.

“There’s a huge snapping turtle coming across the road, and I just wanted to warn you,” Lawson said in a voicemail that was later included in the deputy’s report. “I saw the dogs were out a little while ago. Maybe you want to stay inside. I’m trying to set up so I can shoot it. I won’t shoot in your direction, but if it comes that way, I don’t want your dogs to try and get it or something because they’re awful dangerous.”

Pursuing the case, Fisher researched sulcatas and animal control laws and shared what she learned with prosecutors.

As public outcry grew, Lawson’s attorney’s office released a statement.

“The man is devastated that he mistook the exotic pet for a potentially harmful animal,” the statement read. “He is hopeful that he will be able to meet with the pet’s owner to more fully express his sincere apologies.”

Tasha said Lawson told her he felt bad and that it all was an unfortunate situation. But she said she never heard him say the words “I’m sorry.”

She also noted she received a letter threatening legal action if she did not remove Lawson’s name and location description from social media posts.

Volleyball loses postseason hopes with loss

By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3

Heading into the final week of regular season play, IU volleyball needed wins against No. 12 Purdue and Northwestern to remain on the bubble.

After a five-set defeat against Purdue, IU’s last hope came on the road against Northwestern. The Hoosiers could not pull off the win, with the Wildcats winning in four sets.

“The match for me was about pride,” IU Coach Steve Aird said. “It was about playing hard and finishing the right way. Northwestern played really hard, and they deserved to win. They beat us in most phases of the night. You can make excuses, but they earned the win.”

IU ended the season with a 16-15 overall record and a 7-13 conference record.

However, coming off a 1-19 conference season last year, Aird said he is not upset with the team’s outcome.

“We tried to inject some hope and some energy,” Aird said. “Hopefully people are proud of the fight and see the trajectory of the program.”

While attempting to com-

plete a dig in the second set, sophomore libero Bayli Lebo was hit in the face by the ball off a Northwestern attack and was out for the remainder of the match.

Lebo had played every set of the season to that point, and against Purdue, she broke IU’s single season record in digs.

Aird has said the team's depth is minimal all season, which meant another injury was the last thing the team needed.

“It’s the irony of the year for us,” Aird said. “You lose your libero, and you have to make some crazy substitutions to make it work.”

Wins against Purdue and Northwestern could have been key, but IU has lost five Big Ten matches in five sets this season. If the team had pulled through in any of those, the storyline could have been different.

“The fact that in the last weekend of the season in the Big Ten we were still relevant, and we had an opportunity to go to the postseason, that’s what I’m most proud of,” Aird said. “I’m really proud of the staff and kids for battling.”

But moving forward, the goal is to continue to improve toward an elite level.

“I want this to be a final

Hoosiers advance after a 2-0 win

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

Less than six minutes into the match, the No. 2-seeded Hoosiers found the game-winning goal.

Senior midfielder Trevor Swartz sent in the cross from the left side.

The ball took one bounce and sophomore forward Justin Rennicks missed the tap-in opportunity.

The ball then bounced one more time and slowed down as senior midfielder Austin Panchot trailed to the right side of Rennicks.

Panchot was left wide open and put the ball in the back of the net as the Air Force goalkeeper dove too low to

the ground.

The goal from Panchot was the first of two first-half goals for the Hoosiers as they shut out Air Force to take the 2-0 victory Sunday afternoon at Bill Armstrong Stadium and advance to the quarterfinals the NCAA Tournament.

“I think we’re in our best form of the year, and we’re confident,” Panchot said. “We’re ready to take on whatever team comes in our way.”

Air Force came into the match ranked No. 3 in the country in scoring offense, averaging 2.57 goals scored per game. The Falcons also SEE SOCCER, PAGE 12

2 shows to finish semester in Bloomington

By David Brinson dabrinso@iu.edu

“The Goat,” otherwise known as “Who is Sylvia?

(Notes Toward a Definition of Tragedy),” might be the strangest show you watch all year. It is strictly for mature audiences only, both the director and the website warned.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime play,” director Murray McGibbon said. “It’s a very controversial play, and we’re finally doing it at IU.” Opening at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 30 in the Wells-Metz Theatre, “The Goat” will run until Dec. 8.

It is one of two big Bloomington shows on the bill for the last weeks of the semester. Ivy Tech Student Productions is also performing “Evil Dead the Musical” in December.

The performance will be long-awaited for McGibbon, after years of trying to get it under the lights of an IU stage.

“I’ve been submitting it since 2002, so I’ve been advocating for it for nearly 16 years,” McGibbon said. “Linda Pisano was a big advocate for the play, as well. I’ve directed 35 plays over 23 years and this is, by far, the boldest, strongest play I’ve ever directed. It’s going to cause a lot of discussion.”

McGibbon was hesitant to reveal any plot details

IU Auditorium displays posters for IU productions during the 2018-2019 season.

about “The Goat,” since he felt much of it relies on shock and surprise. The story centers around the main character, Martin, played by Jay Hemphill, a first-year MFA student. Martin is an unhappily married man who seeks to find love outside of his marriage. The play deals with loss, love and the extent of our own empathy. When Hemphill read the script for the first time, it scared him.

But in a good way.

“The situation is absurd, but relatable,” Hemphill said.

“I know the audience might not like the subject matter, but I hope they can take to it.”

Hemphill said he feels responsible for connecting the audience to Martin, and subsequently, the bizarre plot.

He sees the play as “a journey of understanding.”

Off campus, Ivy Tech Student Productions nears its final show of the year as well, with “Evil Dead the Musical,” adapted from Sam Raimi’s

1981 cult-classic.

“I think the first step with all of these kinds of adaptations is a worryingly deep obsession with the source,” director Rory Willats said.

While a comedy musical may seem like a strange divergence for a supernatural horror franchise, Willats feels this evolution honors its legacy aptly and creatively.

“The original ‘Evil Dead’ movies find such a bizarre balance between humor and ‘is-it-humor?’ that makes

them the cult classics they are,” Willats said. “I was bent on bringing some of that balance back into this camp parody — to both laugh at and celebrate this wild world Sam Raimi made.”

Willlats appreciated the break for Thanksgiving, building and preparing the production schedule around it.

“This break is a rare opportunity for the actors to step back from the details of rehearsal to look at the major

arc of their role before we put all the elements together for opening night,” Willats said.

One of these actors is Garrett Thompson, a senior English major, who plays the main character, Ash. During his time home for the holidays, Thompson used this opportunity to brush up on lines and music, looking for beats and details that might be easy to overlook. He’s incredibly aware of the task he has at hand when it comes to stepping out of actor Bruce Campbell’s iconic shadow.

“I think the worst thing you can do is watch the source material too much,” Thompson said. “I believe that it’s important to build a foundation for a character in yourself before you ever, if you ever, look at the origins of the character.”

During the season of giving thanks, Thompson was sure to remember the musical director, Brian Samarzea, and fellow actor and friend in the show, Kaila Day. But, before everyone else, he thanked his director.

“He’s been so open during this process and encourages us all to be collaborative during rehearsals and helps so much in making this show feel unique to us,” Thompson said.

The musical premieres at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7 at Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center’s Rose Firebay Theatre.

CALIE’S CALL

My Thanksgiving in the middle of Paris’ gas riots

2007 film, ‘Waitress’, serves up feminism on shiny indie plate

Brielle Saggese is a senior in journalism.

This weekend was my first time celebrating Thanksgiving abroad. Of course, I figured it would be different. Grocery stores don’t exactly sell canned yams here.

But what I didn’t expect were the last 48 hours.

Rather than watching the parade on TV, I watched tear gas clouds from my window. Was that the smell of a roasting turkey in the oven?

Nope, just a neighborhood patisserie catching fire.

I’ve truly never been more thankful to be American than during the last two days — trapped in my apartment, right in the middle of a French riot.

You thought your family’s Thanksgiving table discussion was heated. Try waking up the morning after and realizing you can’t cross the street — the traffic lights are burned down.

At our school orientation back in August, they warned us that protests were a little different here than in the United States. For one, they happen much more regularly.

At IU, you might tell the professor you’re late to class because the E-bus was too crowded. Likely, or at least in my experience, your professor won’t care.

Here in Paris, you say you’re late because rioters were digging a hole in the

PAUL on Champs-Élysées was set on fire during a riot in Paris on Nov. 22.

Champs-Élysées cobblestone street. Likely, your professor still won’t care, but only because the same thing happened last week.

Protests, strikes, demonstrations, etc. are kind of considered a working part of the French political process.

If you have a problem, first you register it with the police and get back a date and time you can protest.

Next, you gather your union friends, grab some signs and maybe shut down a few métro stops for the day. Finally come the casseurs, or “the breakers.” After the protest is over, they roll through and break store windows, street signs, rental bikes or whatever else is in their way.

So every time a union registers a protest, I get

a handy little email from the American Embassy in Paris that tells me what areas to avoid and when. The trouble is, I live in one of the most popular areas for protesting — the ChampsÉlysées.

Most days, it’s one of the nicest areas to live in the city with excellent dining, museums, shopping and even the iconic location for the last “Sex and the City” episode. But on days when I get an email from the embassy, it’s the last place you want to live.

Literally, the email each time warns me not to go near the Champs-Élysées.

And each time I just want to respond, “OK, but what if I’m already there?”

This weekend I was supposed to go to a Thanksgiv-

ing dinner with friends. I was also supposed to bring the sweet potato soufflé.

And to do both of these things, I was also supposed to leave my house.

But when I opened my front door to see police firing tear gas, I quickly realized my Thanksgiving was going to be spent watching “House of Cards” with a plate of lentils. Sure, it was supposed to be different, but I assumed I would at least get a plate of sweet potatoes.

Sunday morning I walked to church and saw the patisserie that was burning a few hours ago was still selling croissants. At least there is something to be thankful for. bsaggese@iu.edu

FOOD COLUMN

Christmas foods are rich in history, full of joy Varda He is a junior in marketing and international business.

As Thanksgiving break draws to an end, we can safely assume ‘tis finally the season. With any major holidays, dishes traditionally eaten at Christmas are essential components of the holiday celebrations. Most often than not, these foods came a long way in order to be with us today and have been tried and enjoyed by countless people through the ages.

Eggnog Oh, the quintessential Christmas drink. The mere mention of eggnog conjures up the vision of sitting in a cozy armchair by a roaring fireplace, already decked with stockings and garlands, holding a cup of this beloved cocktail.

According to the Spruce Eats, eggnog most likely orig-

Christmas Ham inated in Europe. Medieval monks were known to drink a warm ale punch mixed with eggs and figs called “posset” in the 13th century.

The recipe of the drink soon spread outside the churches and abbeys but was mainly used by the rich and powerful in toasts to prosperity and good health, as milk, eggs and sherry tended to be unattainable luxuries for the poor.

Despite its long history, eggnog was only associated with Christmas when it came across the pond with the settlers in the 1700s. Rum was substituted in place of the much more expensive and aristocratic sherry. Along with the abundant milk and eggs produced in farms across the North American colonies, this new twist to an age-old traditional beverage soon became a favorite for people from all walks of life.

Rooted in pagan ritual traditions long before the coming of Christ, the Christmas ham is even more ancient than the eggnog. Wild boar was the ideal meat to serve at feasts for Germanic and Norse tribes, who also believed the animal was sacred to the god Freyr, a symbol of fertility, prosperity and fair weather.

When the Christians arrived onto the history scene, they adopted the ham, along with many other traditions from various cultures into their narrative. Pork meat became associated with Saint Stephen, whose feast day falls on Dec. 26. The ham thus became firmly entrenched in the Christmas spirit.

Gingerbread Whether molded into little man-shaped cookies or built into tiny houses, noth-

ing elicits the image of the typical holiday season more than the timeless gingerbread. The sweet and spiced confection was a staple treat during medieval celebrations and fairs, even gaining the name “gingerbread fairs.”

Gingerbread houses, on the other hand, originated in 16th century Germany.

The popularity of these edible construction projects skyrocketed with the publication of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel,” in which the villain, a witch, lives in a cottage made of gingerbread and candy. Early German settlers then brought their tradition over to the Americas.

Now go ahead and season your holiday meal with your newfound knowledge of the dishes on the table.

Ah, Thanksgiving. A time for gratitude, family drama and a whole lot of pie. And there is no better movie to watch with a slice of pie on your plate than the indie darling “Waitress.”

Written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, the 2007 film stars Keri Russell as Jenna, a waitress at a pie diner. She’s a southern belle stuck in her ways, and stuck in a terrible marriage to Earl played by Jeremy Sisto. The only thing that gets her through it is her love of baking, especially scrumptious pies.

Upon learning that she’s pregnant with her and her dead-beat husband’s first child, she goes to the doctor for a checkup. There she meets Dr. Pomatter, the hunky new married doctor in town played

by Nathan Fillion. They begin having a passionate affair and Jenna’s disdain for her baby begins to dwindle.

This film is one that is inherently feminist. It’s written and directed by a woman and stars one, too. Jenna as a character breaks multiple female stereotypes, as she is less than excited about being pregnant and having a child.

She doesn’t want to be congratulated and doesn’t want sympathy. She tells her fellow waitress friends Dawn, played by the film’s director Adrienne Shelly, and Becky, played by Cheryl Hines, that “not everybody wants to be a mama” and she’s not morally unjust for thinking that.

She even considers selling her baby for runaway money to get away from Earl. She’ll do just about anything to get away from her husband, which leads her to start saving up money. She hopes to win a pie contest in the next town over for the $25,000 grand prize, but Earl won’t let her enter.

But throughout her pregnancy and affair, she hashes out the wrongs she’s done through her many voiceovers about baking pies like “Earl murders me cause I’m having an affair pie” and “pregnant miserable self-pitying loser pie.” She describes the ingredients while she describes her grief and how unhappy she is with her life.

There’s something so personal and easy about these voiceovers. They let you into her mind in such a straightforward way.

Her character shows a realistic range of emotions for a woman — she’s an example of a character who can make wrong choices and feel lousy and angry or happy and excited about them. She also takes control of both her emotions and desire, making what she wants ultimately her reality in the end.

Her affair with Dr. Pomatter is strangely justified, given that she has a terrible marriage and is in need of comfort and solace. He provides just that — he’s warm, kind and worships Jenna’s pies like no other. She turns to him for emotional stability and friendship, something she hasn’t been provided in a while.

Pun intended, “Waitress” is rich and layered, just like a good pie should be. Its lesson lies in its main characters mistakes. Jenna takes control of her wrongdoings and makes a case for why it’s okay to mess up, because it’ll all be fine in the end. She’s afraid of failure and being on her own, but once she learns those situations are OK, she truly begins to live her life.

Its feminist overtones and wealth of emotional content makes it easy to re-watch while eating a piece of pie for years to come — especially during this holiday season. crschepp@iu.edu

All of this — the court case, the anger and the confusion — highlights that question at the heart of the case: does the life of a tortoise matter?

Due to sulcatas’ vulnerable conservation status, some experts evaluate the importance of a tortoise’s life based on the role it plays in its natural environment.

Others, though they noted the specific importance of wild tortoises, said they believed all animals mattered, too.

“The life of every animal matters,” Stanford, the USC professor, said. “The life of every living thing matters.”

Smith, the curator from the North Carolina Zoo, went further.

“Every species has their own role, and whether or not this one had any role in its particular environment, it doesn’t really matter,” he said. “It’s a tortoise. You can’t really get much less fearful of a turtle or a tortoise.”

It’s easy to misunderstand some animals, Smith said, either because of fear or a lack of caring. Many people may be able to identify a specific bird on their feeder, he said, but the same can’t always be said of reptiles.

“They’re not as appreciated as so many animals,” he said. “And when something is not appreciated or cared about, it’s misunderstood, and the myths prevail.”

COURTESY PHOTO

Merlin was drawn to the color red and loved bright hibiscus plants. He chased a red tractor around his yard.

The case against Lawson dragged on for months.

Each time a court date drew near, Tasha’s anxiety would rise, only for Lawson and his lawyer to file for another continuance. Finally, in May, it ended. Lawson admitted to killing Merlin and agreed to pay $1,400 in restitution to Tasha. She asked that Lawson perform community service at the humane society, but that request was not granted. To Tasha, the outcome felt like a slap in the face.

Merlin’s death was confusing for her, and Tasha thinks about him almost every time she sees Daisy.

Merlin still isn’t back with his family. He’s in California where his bones were sent to be cleaned.

Kayla Kimberlin, a skeletal articulator based outside of Indianapolis, got in contact with Tasha after Merlin was killed. She offered to help send Merlin to a friend and colleague in California to assist in preserving him for Tasha and her family, and

Tasha took her up on the offer after months of consideration.

Tom Keller, a skeletal articulator in California, said he had never seen an animal come to him in such a condition. He found at least seven bullets in Merlin, and both shoulder blades were shattered.

“It was just overkill for a non-threatening animal,” he said.

If his bones are too damaged, she will arrange his remains in a memorial box with his likeness and dates of birth and death.

“He wasn’t just a tortoise ... he was a member of their family,” Kimberlin said in a Facebook message. “I don’t think it should be treated any differently than if that man had shot their dog.

The fact he was a tortoise shouldn’t make it any different.”

From his butt shakes to his dinosaur-like characteristics and child-like curiosity, Merlin brought joy to Tasha and her family. When Merlin is returned to Tasha, she will keep him in eye sight in her home, maybe in a lofted area in the living room.

In the time since his death, Fisher helped push through a new county animal control ordinance that was in the works when Merlin was killed.

The new ordinance has an expanded county definition of domestic animal under which Merlin would have fallen, and it could have led to additional citations placed on top of the criminal mischief charge, Fisher said.

Fisher said she believes Merlin’s death will be used as a catalyst for change within state laws.

While Merlin wasn’t protected at his time of death, future laws could help other animals and their owners.

Tasha hopes that’s the case, especially after Lawson’s court agreement was minimal.

It might not be true justice, but she says pets like Merlin no longer being considered “personal property” is a small blessing.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

3 things to know about Duke

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

For the second straight year and the third time in the last four years, IU will play Duke as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

The annual in-season college basketball series was established in 1999, and recent years have seen the Hoosiers and Blue Devils match up frequently.

Duke won at home against IU in 2015, before fighting off a tough challenge at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall last season to win by 10 points.

The Blue Devils are once again one of the top-ranked teams in country and will be the favorite to win Tuesday night’s game at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.

Before IU tries to pull off an upset win, here are three things to know about this blockbuster nonconference game.

1. Duke’s team is more than just star forward Zion Williamson.

Those tuning in to the ESPN program “SportsCenter” or listening to sports talk radio have likely heard the name Zion Williamson on repeat to start the college basketball season.

The freakishly athletic and ridiculously talented freshman forward has already garnered comparisons to LeBron James just six games into his college career.

While Williamson averages more than 20 points and nearly 10 rebounds a game for the Blue Devils, along with contributing several highlight-reel dunks each night, his team isn’t just a one-man show.

Fellow freshman forwards RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish are comparable in size and scoring ability to Williamson.

All three players average at least 16 points per game.

This will create matchup nightmares for the Hoosiers, as players like senior forwards Juwan Morgan and

had two seniors in Tucker Bone and Austin Dewing, who have combined for 25 goals and 104 shots this season.

IU only held a 7-5 shot advantage heading into halftime but then outshot Air Force 6-4 in the second half. Neither Bone nor Dewing even registered a shot against the IU backline.

For the game total, IU had a 13-9 total shots and a 4-1 shots on goal advantage.

The best opportunity of the day for Air Force didn’t

Senior forward Juwan Morgan gains control of the ball against Montana State on Nov. 9 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU defeated Montana State 80-35 to improve to 2-0 on the season.

Evan Fitzner will be forced to play tight defense without getting into foul trouble.

Junior forward De’Ron Davis also has a key part to play for the Hoosiers, if he’s healthy enough to be on the court after dealing with some Achilles soreness, as IU’s main rim protector against Duke. The Blue Devils have a junior big man of their own, center Marques Bolden, who is set to directly match up against Davis.

Near the three-point line, IU’s guards will be occupied with another Duke freshman, guard Tre Jones, who averages nearly six assists and just one turnover per contest.

Jones, along with junior forward Jack White and sophomore guard Alex O’Connell, represents Duke’s most prolific three-point shooters.

Williamson has already gained national attention thanks to his NBA Draft prospects, but the Hoosiers will have to contend with a plethora of effective players Tuesday night in a difficult environment.

Duke has won 141 straight nonconference games at Cameron Indoor Stadium, last losing in this situation against St. John’s in February 2000.

2. IU’s injury situation is a major concern entering the game.

The Hoosiers will have a much better chance at winning Tuesday’s game, or at least keeping it close, if guards junior Devonte Green and senior Zach McRoberts are deemed healthy enough to play.

Green, with a thigh bruise, and McRoberts, with a lower back strain, haven’t played for IU since a blowout home win against Montana State on Nov. 9. Without their services, IU’s defense has had lapses against Arkansas, Texas-Arlington and CaliforniaDavis.

McRoberts is a key figure defensively for IU, with the experience to be trusted to guard talented opposing players and the grit to fight for loose balls. Green helped with IU’s bench scoring in his limited playing time this season, forming an effective combination with freshman guard Rob Phinisee after Phinisee took over starting duties.

Prior to Friday’s game against UC-Davis, IU Coach Archie Miller said he was hopeful both players could return to practice in the next

come until the 86th minute.

Senior midfielder Luis Martinez sent in a corner kick and senior defender James Sims fired a shot toward the right side of the net after the ball was knocked around in the box, but it hit the goalpost.

“I feel like it’s all clicking,” senior defender Timmy Mehl said. “The communication is up from everyone in the back. If we’re organized well, we’re not giving up many shots and a little amount of shots means a little amount of goals.”

Swartz picked up his 15th assist of the season and fifth overall for the NCAA Tournament in the 22nd minute.

After a handball violation from Air Force, Swartz took the free kick for IU on the right side.

He put his left foot on the ball as it curved toward the opposite side of the net and found the head of Mehl and the Air Force goalkeeper couldn’t help but watch the ball go into the net.

The assist moved Swartz to sole possession of third place all-time in IU history for most assists in a single

week and be healthy enough to play against Duke.

IU’s chances against Duke would be significantly helped with the return of either player.

3. Both teams’ freshman phenoms will take center stage on national television.

This game is considered the crown jewel of the ACCBig Ten Challenge contests this season. Slated for a 9:30 p.m. start on ESPN, this game has been heavily featured in television promotions throughout the past few days.

As such, national attention will be focused on the game, and in particular the young stars taking part in it.

Phinisee and fellow IU freshman guard Romeo Langford will have their hands full trying to impress against Duke’s latest group of young players. It will be the biggest stage for both Phinisee and Langford in their young IU careers, but they don’t appear to be phased by the opportunity.

“It really is not like really me, freshmen against freshmen or upperclassmen,” Langford said. “It’s Indiana against Duke. It’s really a team effort.” season. He passed current IU Coach Todd Yeagley, Yuri Lavrynenko and Wane Lobring, who all had 14 assists.

With the win, IU is now only one game away from making a second straight trip to the College Cup. “The first time I’ve mentioned Santa Barbara was today when I told them they were 90 minutes away from having the opportunity to go there,” Yeagley said.

“This year, we just tipped the scales and have gotten the two titles, and we’re one step closer to an opportunity.”

gone thanks to football.

Younger Hoosiers vowed to remember the pain they saw their teammates in and to use it as motivation for seasons to come.

For his part, Allen said he was really disappointed in the way things ended.

It's a shame then, that the actions of Allen and members of the coaching staff like offensive coordinator Mike DeBord were to blame for the failures of this year's IU football team.

The Hoosiers finished the season with a 5-7 overall record, a 2-7 mark in Big Ten Conference play and a loss in the season finale, a winnertake-all meeting with the Boilermakers.

It's the exact same way the 2017 season ended, but with a different cast of characters overseen by Allen and DeBord.

Optimism arrived by the bucketload in nonconference play as IU got off to a 3-0 start. It even beat a Virginia team that spent time ranked among the College Football Playoff committee's top 25 teams.

But a rain-soaked, fourpoint win against the Cavaliers will stand out as the best win of the Hoosiers' season, once again.

Wins against Rutgers and Maryland shouldn't be celebrated because those wins are the bare minimum Allen needs to retain his job. But even that, Allen's position as head coach, is a discussion worth having this offseason.

Despite promising to "Breakthrough" in 2017 before vowing to "Finish" in 2018, IU's teams have done neither and regressed under his leadership.

An adequately talented team last season underachieved, including by losing possession of the Old Oaken Bucket for the first time since 2012.

While this year's group of Hoosiers didn't have the same on-field ability, it was the infuriating nature of IU's play calling that made the team frustrating to watch in the best of times and unbearable to observe in the worst of times.

Conservatism was rampant in IU's coaching decisions.

These included deciding to fair catch virtually every

kickoff, a lack of aggression going for it on fourth downs and the "bend but don't break" philosophy used by IU's defense.

It's one thing for IU to not have players talented enough to compete on the field with top-tier Big Ten teams.

It's another thing for players on the IU roster to not be given an adequate chance to match up against those on the opposite line of scrimmage.

Some say Allen needs to utilize these strategies for IU to have a chance to win games against better Big Ten teams, but the evidence for this assertion doesn't exist. Allen's conference wins have come against Illinois and Rutgers last season, and Rutgers and Maryland this season.

To his credit, Allen did say he would evaluate giving up the title of defensive coordinator this offseason to dedicate more time to being the head coach, but the damage has been done.

The combined records of the teams IU has beaten for its four conference wins under Allen is 12-36, signifying just how bad a team has to be to lose to IU. Meanwhile, IU's 14 Big Ten losses under Allen have come by an average of nearly 15 points.

A significant chunk of the responsibility for this also falls on DeBord and the plays he has called. The refusal to attempt to throw the ball downfield consistently drives Hoosier fans to the point of insanity.

Checkdown passes from Ramsey short of the first down marker are as much a product of the plays diagramed by DeBord as they are Ramsey's in-game choices.

The balance between running and passing plays was abandoned at times this season and given how effective freshman running back Stevie Scott became by the end of the season, that's inexcusable.

Players on the field can only dictate so much. Coaches are expected to put players in the best positions possible to win.

Allen and DeBord didn't do that this season, and because of their actions, they won't have the chance to do so again in a bowl game. @cdrummond97 cpdrummo@iu.edu
