‘There is no democracy without journalism.’ 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley visits Media School for Arnolt Center opening By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94
In a time of relentless “fake news,” American journalists must fight in order to get stories that are coherent and useful to viewers and voters in our country. “Some say this is a bad time to be a journalist, but it is a great time to be a journalist, because everyone is looking at you,” 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley said in his speech, which marked the end of the grand-opening day for the Arnolt Center for Investigative Journalism. “Arnolt knows that there is no democracy without journalism,” Pelley said. The celebration lasted all day and brought media professionals from across the country to the Media School in order to educate

and give professional advice to students, faculty, friends and family. Some of the events included panels, a ribbon cutting and a speech from former CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley.
Pelley brought personal experience to Presidents Hall and showed student journalists exactly what it means to do interviews, collect facts and talk to sources. Pelley also read excerpts from his newest book,
“Truth Worth Telling: A Reporter’s Search for Meaning in the Stories of Our Times.” “A great privilege of journalism is to encourage people to speak out, to tell their stories,” Pelley said in his speech. Pelley worked at CBS for 31 years, with many of those spent on the air. While working for CBS, Pelley covered many pivotal events across the United States, including 9/11, the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill, the Davidian siege in Waco, Texas, the impeachment of President Clinton and the Gulf War. Pelley also won an Emmy Award for an interview with Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke in 2008. Pelley announced Tuesday he will be accepting a position on the Arnolt Center’s advisory board.
Citizens were allowed past the doors of the lobby in the Bloomington Police Department on Tuesday night. The group of nearly 30 people were all there for the same reason – BPD’s annual Citizens Police Academy. Tuesday night marked the start of the free, 11-week program where BPD officers invite citizens into the world of law enforcement. The group will meet for two and a half hours each Tuesday until graduation from the academy Nov. 19. BPD Chief Michael Diekhoff said the program is geared toward the curiosity of citizens and is adjusted each year to better suit their interests. “Every year this program is a little bit different based on recommendations,” Diekhoff said. This year’s academy schedule includes lessons on topics such as firearms training, hostage negotiation and narcotics investigations. The program gives citizens an introduction to BPD’s German Shepherd K-9, Ike. Participants are also offered the opportunity to participate in a patrol ridealong. “The world looks a whole lot different from the front of a police car,” Capt. Scott Oldham said. People chose to participate in the academy for a number of reasons. Some were intrigued by the idea of learning more about cops and law enforcement, while others chose to take part in the program to help their career paths. Many of the participants were IU students. Their majors included criminal justice and their career aspirations consisted of becoming a police officer. SEE ACADEMY, PAGE 6

IU prepares for opener against OSU By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff
Students were lined up waiting to get inside Memorial Stadium the last time Ohio State came to Bloomington two years ago. Signs filled the student section as the crowd yelled behind the set of ESPN’s College GameDay waiting for the Tom Allen era to begin as IU was ready for a fresh start. In that game, IU looked strong in the first half moving the ball effectively against a top-5 ranked Ohio State team as the Hoosiers took a 14-13 lead into the half. The crowd inside Memorial Stadium was filled with hope that they were about to witness one of the biggest upsets in college football. Instead, the Buckeyes ran away with the game in the second half as they steamrolled IU in a 49-21 defeat for the Hoosiers. However, what came out of that game was the optimism that IU would be able to compete on a weekly basis in the Big Ten. The same mindset exists for the Hoosiers on Saturday. “These are program-changing opportunities,” Allen said. Ohio State rolls into Bloomington as the sixth-ranked team in the

Singer-songwriter, poet and author Bob Dylan will perform at 8 p.m. Oct. 27 at the IU Auditorium. Known for his influential music and literature that addressed political and social issues of the 1960s, Dylan has received Grammy, Academy and Golden Globe awards. Along with being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dylan was also presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize for Literature. Much of Dylan’s most wellknown works date back to the 1960s when many of his songs, including “The Times They Are a-Changin” and “Blowin’ in the Wind,” became anthems for civil rights, anti-war and counterculture movements. Tickets for the show will go on pre-sale at 1 p.m. Sept. 12 for IU email members and will be open to the general public at 10 a.m. Sept. 13. Tickets will be available on www. bobdylan.com, the Ticketmaster website or at the IU Auditorium box office, which is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Ticket prices range from $59.50 to $89.50. Students can save $25 by buying a student ticket at the IU Auditorium box office only with a valid student ID. Ticket sales are limited to two per person. Bob Dylan & His Band also performed at IU in 2009 and 2017, when Mavis Staples, a prominent R&B gospel singer and civil rights activist, visited as a special guest.

IUSG Congress vote to come By Madison Smalstig msmalsti@iu.edu | @madi_smals
IU Student Government will have elections for 61 congressional seats Oct. 1 and 2. Thirty-two seats represent residential areas, and the remaining 29 are reserved for the different schools at IU. Sixteen of the 32 residential area seats elected in October will represent the off-campus housing, and four of the 29 academic seats will represent the Kelley School of Business. “I think Congress is a great option for students,” said senior Cassiday Moriarity, former summer speaker of IUSG Congress. “They can really pursue what they are interested in, and they also get to learn a lot about what other issues are at the university and how we can potentially solve them.” Students interested in running must declare their intention to run for one specific seat, which corresponds to the community of people
they will represent if they are elected, on their IUSG Congress application. The application is due Sept. 17, Moriarity said. If someone isn’t elected, they’re still able to be a part of Congress by participating as ad hoc members. The difference between elected and ad hoc members is the latter can’t vote, Moriarity said. The Saturday following elections, members will go through a training session, which was created during Congress’ summer session, Moriarity said. In the training, new members will be taught how to effectively participate in meetings, complete committee work and work with administrators to change policy on campus, junior Dominic Thompson said. He served as the off-campus congressman during summer session. Members will also be required to attend Step UP! IU training, which will teach students how to intervene in
problematic situations such as sexual assault and mental health issues. “We have been working very hard on that training,” Thompson said. “It’s the first time that it has ever been done within IUSG, and we really hope that it’s going to be successful for incoming members.” Everyone should feel welcome and qualified to run for Congress, said former Briscoe Quad representative Madeline Garcia. However, it is important that those elected have good communication skills and an open mind. “When we just live our weekly schedule of classes, activities and going back home to an apartment or dorm, we don’t see that full picture of what everyone else is doing,” Garcia said. “We can’t be everywhere at once, and that’s I think why communication is crucial to making someone a great representative.” Thompson said passion

for local issues and dedication to the organization are important qualities for representatives to have. “If you are dedicated about what you believe in, if you come with good ideas, you are going to be able to make a change on this campus," Thompson said. "That should be the ultimate goal of anyone who is in student government."

The Beta Theta Pi fraternity house located at 1100 N. Jordan Ave. is unoccupied for the 2019-2020 school year due to concerns of "improper care." Last spring, the chapter’s house corporation announced it would be closed, according to an email from Beta Theta Pi national spokesperson Justin Warren. The statement said alumni made the decision because of “improper care of the property by the undergraduate members.” It also said the decision is a “safeguard against potential risk management concerns.” Both Warren and the local Beta Theta Pi chapter declined to clarify what “improper care” and “risk management concerns” meant and what renovations were being done. Though the chapter was placed on deferred suspension last December, the house’s vacancy is not
university-sanctioned, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said. Carney said IU’s chapter of Beta Theta Pi is on deferred suspension due to “dishonest conduct, endangering others, hazing, alcohol and non-compliance with the Greek Organization Agreement.” Organizations on deferred suspension have broken a rule but have shown they’re taking steps to address the issue. Thomas Nardicchio, president of the IU chapter, said in an email that not living in the house would help them to reevaluate the chapter culture. “Our priority, for now, is reestablishing our chapter norms and being a positive member of Indiana's greek community," the statement said. Nardicchio said the house is undergoing renovations this year, leaving the fraternity unhoused, but members will move back into the house next fall.

Issue of duplexes, triplexes downtown leads to debate By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang
Bloomington’s new Unified Development Ordinance, which will determine the future of Bloomington development and housing until it is updated next, is now down to its last two steps before being passed into law. The more than 400-page document has already been through over a year-and-a-half process of crafting and discussion. But the length of the last two steps, passing it through the Bloomington Plan Commission and the Bloomington City Council, will be determined by residents and their eagerness to participate in amending the document. Participation has been high, especially on the issue of whether duplexes and triplexes should be allowed in the neighborhoods close to downtown. After a six-hour meeting Sept. 5, the plan commission decided to keep the rules how they were in the new document. If the city council agrees, duplexes and triplexes will be allowed in the zoning districts that make up the downtown neighborhoods on “conditional use.” If it is passed by city council, homeowners or developers who wish to build ‘plexes’ in core neighborhoods will go through the Bloomington Board of Zoning and Appeals for approval. This is a change from the UDO that has been in place for more than 20 years that doesn’t permit duplexes and triplexes to be built in these neighborhoods at all. Residents are split over whether to not permit 'plexes' at all or make them even easier to build. Some, like IU professor Dave Warren, think allowing ‘plexes’ in the core neighborhoods is the way to

One of many duplexes in downtown Bloomington is located at 420 E. Sixth St. The issue of whether or not duplexes and triplexes should be permitted to be built near downtown has been a topic of discussion in city council meetings.
create compact urban form, which is a more sustainable, equitable and affordable way to live, according to Warren. “If we don’t allow these ‘missing middle’ structures to be built throughout a growing city, we’re guaranteeing any new housing will be built further out, contributing to longer commutes, degradation of more rural landscapes and higher emissions,” Warren said at the Sept. 5 meeting. The ‘missing middle,’ mentioned many times in the discussions about duplexes
and triplexes, refers to housing for middle-income residents who often don’t want to rent an apartment or own a single-family home. Others are protective of the core neighborhoods’ historic value and say its neighborhoods are already affordable and compact. “They are the fabric," resident Jan Sorby said. “They are the body that tell the story of the everyday person. And in many of the neighborhoods like Bryant Park and McDoel, they are the story of the com-
mon person. We are the working class neighborhoods that were there for everybody.” Fears are also circulating in meetings about out-oftown developers being allowed to destroy old homes and build high-priced ‘plexes’ for students. Residents compared developers to vultures, waiting to attack. “If you vote to allow duplexes and triplexes in the core neighborhoods, you are voting for big business and wealthy developers and you are voting against the
people who are there now who in many cases are on fixed income or low income,” resident Michelle Henderson said. The plan commission has had four special hearings over the past two and a half weeks, two of which were packed with residents. The commission has three more planned for the next two weeks. Amendments will continue to be voted on during these meetings. Joe Hoffmann, president of the plan commission, reminded the
audience during a meeting break that the city council will be able to undo or add any amendments they want once the UDO is handed off to them. The next plan commission special hearings will be at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 16 in the Council Chambers, Sept. 17 in the Utility Service Center Board Room at 600 E. Miller Drive and Sept. 23 in Council Chambers. Amendments are continuously being posted on the city website where the public may leave comments.
OASIS gets name change, adds recovery group By Madison Smalstig msmalsti@iu.edu | @madi_smals
The Division of Student Affairs changed the name of the Office of Alternative Screening and Intervention Services to Substance Use Intervention Services. Substance Use Intervention Services will perform the same functions as OASIS, providing services to students recovering from substance use disorders. The staff will still answer questions from students regarding their substance use or a friend’s. Heather Barrett, associate director of Substance Use Intervention Services, said the name needed to change. The program had mainly been associated
with students’ negative experiences because some students were required to go through brief invention via OASIS. “We still see mandated students here, but we are also hoping to just kind of be seen also as the place where students can just go for resources as well,” Barrett said. Pete Grogg, executive director of the IU Health Center, said this change was well-timed because of the program’s move from Eigenmann Hall to their own building at 506 N. Fess Ave. “We thought it would be a good opportunity since they would be moving to new offices to stop and rebrand and let people get a name that is more reflective
and easier to understand,” Grogg said. A new addition to the SUIS is the Collegiate Recovery Community. This group will serve as a safe place for students in recovery to connect with others going through the same process. This community was created in response to a request from the student organization Students in Recovery at Bloomington. Although they had an established support group, students felt that with university support, the resources for students in recovery would increase, said organization member Jake Desmond. “We really needed institutional support, leadership
and a presence as far as being a part of the university,” Desmond said. Barrett said a long term goal would be acquiring housing for students in recovery or an academic advisor that works with them. To secure funding for the recovery community, members of Students in Recovery at Bloomington created a grant proposal with support from Barrett, Grogg, and Leslie Fasone, senior director for wellness, prevention and victim advocacy. IU awarded a grant of $100,000 a year for three years to fund the Collegiate Recovery Community. The grant is currently funding the salary of Indiana’s first full-time coordinator for a university recovery com-
munity, Travis Lawson. The funds will also go to programming for events such as sober events and weekly meetings. These sober events include a coffee crawl, which mimics the structure of a bar crawl but instead involves coffee shops. The events are also open to allies, or students who want to support their friends or family members in recovery but do not consider themselves in recovery. “So, if you had a friend who was in recovery and wanted to come to a meeting or a sober event and they’re like, ‘Hey I am nervous about going by myself,’ or, ‘I want some support, would you come along?’ we
would welcome that,” Lawson said. The weekly meetings will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday nights at the Substance Use Intervention Services location. The community had its first meeting Tuesday. The meeting mainly consisted of talking through the logistics of the group and discussing the wants and needs of the students involved, Lawson said. “It was great to get to talk to the students and collaborate with them about the vision they see for the Collegiate Recovery Community,” Lawson said. “Being in its inception, we want feedback from the students. We want to know how to best support them.”

THE ELECTIVE PERSPECTIVE
Who is participating in the NC-09 election, and why should you care? Max Sandefer is a sophomore in political science and Spanish.
On Tuesday, two Dans will enter an election, and only one will be victorious. North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District will decide whether Democrat Dan McCready or Republican Dan Bishop will fill a seat that has been vacant for almost nine months. This election, while seemingly obscure and unimportant, has national implications for both the Democratic and Republican party and ought to be closely watched. To understand NC-09’s importance, some background is necessary. The congressional seat is technically the final undecided seat still left of the 2018 midterm elections. Yes, 10 months after the dust settled, this election still continues. This is because the North Carolina State Board of Elections refused to certify previous results of the election after credible accusations of then-Republican nominee Mark Harris committing election fraud. With a margin of victory of only 905 votes, it came to light that his campaign tampered with and illegally collected absentee ballots. The spectacle even reached peak drama when Harris cried in

court as his own son testified against him, stating he warned his father against throwing away ballots. Flash forward to now, the redo election features a new Republican, the same Democrat and a whole lot more national attention. With a Partisan Voter Index of R+8, the
district’s apparent competitiveness leaves many scratching heads. The answer lies within the Charlotte suburbs. If the race is a win for McCready or even comes close, this could spell disaster for the GOP in the upcoming 2020 elections. Many analysts argue that it would be defini-
tive proof of the purported “suburban GOP flight,” meaning that upper-middle class suburbanites are fleeing the Republican Party in droves because of President Donald Trump. The GOP needs a decisive win by Bishop to ease the hushed worries within the party.
The GOP is certainly on edge. The number of congressional retirements from the GOP is reaching near 2018-level, where the party was wiped out in the House of Representatives. Trump is so worried about the race that he gave a record 5th Twitter endorsement to Bishop and
has headlined multiple rallies within the district. Similarly, the state has many important contests in the upcoming 2020 election. With Democrats hoping to retake the Senate next year, defeating Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) is almost a necessity. A Democratic victory would excite the Democratic base both within the state and nationwide, allowing for challengers like Cal Cunningham to ride this momentum to victory. North Carolina could also be the key to Democrats winning back the presidency. All eyes will be on North Carolina as a key swing state come 2020 if this congressional race truly comes close. Ultimately, the polls show a dead heat between Bishop and McCready. Both political parties and even Hurricane Dorian have made a profound effect on this election. It could shape up to be a warning sign for Republicans like the 2018 PA-18 special election or become just another demoralizing defeat for Democrats like the 2017 GA06 special election. Only one outcome is nearly certain: somebody named Dan will be a very happy man come election night. maxsande@iu.edu

WFHB radio is Bloomington’s hidden gem
From Efrat Feferman of Monroe County United Way
Bryce Greene is a senior in informatics.
Where someone receives news has an enormous effect on how they see the world. Someone who only reads the Wall Street Journal will see the world like a Republican businessman. Someone who only reads the New York Times will see the world like an upper middle class liberal. Someone who only listens Ben Shapiro’s podcast will see the world the same way as an alt-right misanthrope. Though the internet has democratized a large chunk of media production, news is still largely driven by commercial imperatives. The news that appears on social media feeds can fall into any of a number of categories based on your interactions and preferences. As usage increases, algorithms eventually create an echo chamber that reinforces one’s own personal biases. People who get their news from our community radio station are in a very different media environment. Community radio promotes community engagement at a local level. WFHB is explicitly noncommercial and exists for the purpose of public education and communication. Much of the station’s programming is geared towards local interests. The result is content that genuinely strives to educate people on local politics and struggles, as well as elevate local artists and charities. WFHB is driven in large

part by volunteers. Concerned members of the community have the ability to contribute to the station by becoming volunteer members. The variety of content underscores how closely linked the station is with the needs of the community. There are many public affairs shows representing all stripes of life. There is a show specifically about issues in Brown County, and several completely in Spanish. Another show is about Asian Americans in South Central Indiana and a show called “The Hijabi Diaries” is dedicated to local Muslim women’s issues.One of my favorites is a show called “Bring it On!”, which describes itself as Indiana’s only weekly radio program specifically for discussing the issues that affect the black community. Another is “Kite Line”, a weekly show
devoted to prisoners’ rights and prisoners issues. There is also nationally syndicated independent programming. WFHB broadcasts “Democracy Now!”, one of America’s most important daily news shows, every morning at 8 a.m. and again at noon. The station also broadcasts CounterSpin, a program that dissects the national media, and Economic Update, a show about the economy from a leftist perspective. Each of these is an example of shows that are critical of power and thus outside the mainstream. These are all voices that are ignored and effectively silenced in modern commercial media. The music shows are an eclectic array of tastes and eras. It is not uncommon to hear bluegrass, jazz, indie pop, or death metal when randomly tuning in. The sta-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Response to Reports of White Supremacist Flyers In an Aug. 27 article from the IDS titled IUPD Receives Reports of White Supremacist Flyers, it was reported that IU Police Department chief Jill Lees told the IDS there was no reason to take any extra precautions at this time because they did not know the intentions of the flyers. Doug Bauder the director of the LGBTQ+ Culture Center at IU was quoted in an Aug. 28 IDS article titled Bloomington United Anti-Hate Rally Draws Differing Opinions, “We sort of see ourselves as a response team for hate.” After years of com-
plaints, protests and suggestions to the City of Bloomington, due to the presence of a self-described identitarian vendor at the city-run farmers market. Mayor John Hamilton closed the market for two weeks in August. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, identitarianism is a racist European movement with growing braches in the United States that stands against immigration and multiculturalism. When it reopened, there was an increased police presence, cameras had been installed and physi-
cal barriers put in place to prevent cars from ramming the market as occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. These examples demonstrate the extent to which our community — run mostly by folks with race privilege — doesn’t seem to get how cameras and cluelessness about the intention of white supremacist flyers and waiting for something to respond to are wholly insufficient ways of dealing with the growing threat of white supremacy in our midst. Bloomington — town and gown — needs to be
bold, courageous and clear — in word and deed — that it is committed to proactively addressing white supremacy and ready and willing to strategically dismantle the structural barriers to true equity, inclusion and justice, particularly for marginalized communities. As a Jewish lesbian, I am scared. As a white person and IU instructor, I have a responsibility to speak up, walk my talk and challenge our leaders to do better. Who’s in? Trish Kerlé Bloomington, Indiana
In 1887, a Denver woman, a priest, two ministers and a rabbi got together. It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but they didn’t walk into a bar; what they did was recognize the need to work together in their community in new ways, in order to make it a better place. This was a time of economic and social disruption. With the onset of industrialization, people flocked from rural settings to the urban factories springing up, leaving behind their traditional safety nets. With these migration patterns came new challenges in cities such as Denver. What happens to a factory worker injured on the jo, or someone aging out of work? What happens to orphaned children? As charities responded to these needs, we can imagine the challenges of coordination, communication and transparency in the late 19th century. Frances Wisebart Jacobs, the Rev. Myron Reed, Monsignor William J. O’Ryan, Dean H. Martyn Hart and Rabbi William S. Friedman convened this conversation in Denver and put together an idea that in time became United Way. The idea was simply that in each community an organization is needed to identify the needs of the vulnerable, mobilize the resources to fund relief efforts and refer clients to cooperating agencies. Local business leaders supported the effort, seeing the advantages of having a single organization soliciting funds and distributing them to address the growing social needs.Bloomingtonians replicated this idea locally In 1906, with the formation of the Council of Social Agencies, which in time added a fundraising focus and incorporated in 1956 as the Monroe County United Fund. In 1974, we took on the United Way name, meeting the national standards for bearing it and affirming our mission to “address critical needs today while reducing those needs tomorrow”. Those critical needs certainly change with time, don’t they? Some, perhaps, because we targeted resources and developed a sustainable infrastructure to address them. At times, the critical needs were specific to different vulnerable
populations — our eldest, our youngest, our neighbors living with physi- Feferman cal or developmental challenges or those struggling with addiction. And at times, the focus has been on the efficiency of the system. There have been other evolutions in the United Way model, as well. My hope is to weave that informative context into more issue-based pieces in the months to come. The issues and the need to assess and address them together as a community are why we are still here. Every few years we conduct a data-driven assessment of our community’s needs and then convene the discussions regarding solutions and prioritization. Our Board of Directors, under the leadership of Dr. David Johnson and Dr. Kirsten Gronberg, has spent the past few months engaged in gathering data and listening. We also launched a monthly speakers series, “Wake Up! With United Way,” to allow us to dive deeper into topics. There is encouraging news and not-so-encouraging news, as usual. There are nationallevel trends which demand our attention locally — a growing number of us challenged by rising costs of living (housing, childcare, and transportation) while wages remain stagnant; the associated housing insecurity and homelessness; unmet mental health needs; and a substance use epidemic continuing to devastate individuals and families. It is hard to not draw some parallels between these times and the late 19th century, as once again we are in the midst of social and economic disruption. Clearly, these challenges will require us to collectively think in new ways. Thus, I turn to the same playbook and invite everyone to come together to discuss, coordinate, and help solve today’s problems. Will you please join this conversation?

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Democratic primary candidates stand before the start of the second Democratic primary debate July 30 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. The next debate will take place Thursday in Houston.
What should I know about the next debate? From Tribune News Service
It’s mid-September, a time when the days grow shorter, the leaves begin to fall and all across the land thoughts turn to ... well, not to presidential politics. Even so, 10 Democrats clamoring to win the White House in 2020 will return to the debate stage Thursday night for three hours of questions and answers, elbows and jockeying and all the carefully scripted spontaneity the candidates can muster. The number is down from the 20 contestants who participated in the first and second rounds of debates, which were split over two nights in June and again in July. Still, the format will be familiar to any who tuned in for those broadcasts. The forum is not so much a debate but an opportunity for voters to see the candidates answer a series of questions and react to their rivals while standing side by side. ABC is putting on the show, telecast from Houston, along with the Spanish-language station Univision.
What time is the debate? It begins at 8 p.m. Why was the field cut in half? A virulent flu that struck the politically ambitious? Um, no. Invitations were extended only to those who met requirements established by the Democratic National Committee. The criteria were tightened to make it harder to reach the debate stage. How so? Initially, candidates had to meet one of two benchmarks: appeal to 65,000 donors, with at least 200 coming from 20 different states; or receive 1% or more support in three state or national polls sanctioned by the DNC. That changed for September’s matchup. The candidates had to register support of 2% or better in at least four polls and have at least 130,000 donors, including a minimum of 400 unique donors in each of at least 20 states. Two percent? You would
think staffers and blood relatives would qualify a candidate. Apparently not. So who’s in? In alphabetical order: former Vice President Joe Biden; New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker; South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg; former Housing Secretary Julian Castro; California Sen. Kamala Harris; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and entrepreneur Andrew Yang. Apart from fewer candidates, what’s different this time? Perhaps the most significant change is that all the top-tier candidates will be together onstage for the first time, rather than sprinkled over two nights. Intriguing! The dynamic between Biden and Warren will be particularly interesting, given not just their proximity in polls but the fact they embody the
philosophical divide in the race, between the relative centrism of the former vice president and the leftward leaning of Warren. The two have a long, somewhat adversarial history, and if they chose not to engage, you can be pretty certain the debate moderators will seek to draw out their distinctions on health care and a past runin over regulating the credit card industry, among other differences. Any other subplots? Harris was the standout on June’s debate stage and was widely panned for her performance in July. She badly needs another strong showing to break out of her campaign doldrums. O’Rourke, in the meantime, has been lackluster in previous debates, falling well short of his electric performance on the campaign trail. He’s chucked the conventional political playbook to turn his candidacy into a fiery crusade against President Donald Trump and in, particular, in favor of stricter gun controls. Will he be more of a factor in Thursday
night’s debate? Anything else? Do you enjoy reruns? Sometimes. Warren and Sanders are personal friends and political allies. They made nice on the debate stage in July. The question, again, is whether they end their entente as they seek to broaden their appeal to the same set of political-revolution-minded voters. And then there’s the perennial question of what, if anything, the rest of the candidates can do to break from the pack and launch themselves into the campaign’s top tier. How can I watch the debate? In addition to the broadcasts on ABC and Univision, various services will be streaming the session, including AppleTV and YouTube. I kind of liked when there were more candidates than people in the audience.
That’s an exaggeration, but take heart. The field will expand again for round 4 next month in Ohio. Oh? San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer, who fell just shy of qualifying this time, made the cut for the next debate, and there’s still time for others to make the stage. Woo-hoo! But don’t count on 20 candidates showing up. Several who were on hand in June and July, including New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, have left the contest, and others seem to be limping along on life support. More may be gone from the campaign by midOctober. At least the NFL season is underway. There’s 22 on the field each play. Plus more colorful uniforms and a better halftime show.
I see many customers in your future...

Bahamas capital ‘not built to handle this,’ official says
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 first two weeks of the season, Fields has completed 76% of his passes, thrown for 458 yards and has accounted for nine total touchdowns as he’s been a walking highlight reel. An athletic quarterback who can compete in the air and on the ground potentially poses a major problem for IU’s defense, which has struggled at times bringing runner to the ground. “Any time you get a young man that can run and throw the ball with equal effectiveness, it always creates a lot of challenges,” Allen said. “That really does create a lot of problems for the defense, and so we’ve got to do a great job of being able to contain that and not giving up those explosive plays.” While IU comes into Saturday’s game as a heavy underdog, its ability to compete will be an important indicator for the team’s success the rest of the season.

is indicative of the caliber of opponents the Hoosiers will face throughout the Big Ten. IU has been able to move the ball consistently to open the season, generating at least 470 yards of offense in its first two games. If the Hoosiers are able to march up and down the field against a top defense like Ohio
State’s it will be a big boost to their confidence in their ability to drive the ball against any team they face on their schedule. The biggest goal for IU this season is to become bowl eligible for the first time in Tom Allen’s tenure as head coach, and the way the Hoosiers play against Ohio State on Saturday will go a long way in set-

wrapped in plastic. Senior Police Officer Kevin Frank said those items are kept in police vehicles and given to victims of incidents such as car crashes and fires. On the main level of the station, the participants were shown the operating while intoxicated room where those suspected of drunk driving are taken for testing. The room features a breathalyzer and a line of tape on the floor for sobriety tests. The students were also shown the inside of a holding room, featuring a pair of handcuffs chained to the wall. After the tour, the last stop of the night was the parking lot behind BPD. Officers showed participants the inside of a police car, from the hard plastic seats in the back to the light and sound buttons in the front. The group will meet again next Tuesday to cover the topics of police social work and operating while intoxicated enforcement.

IU senior Caroline Claffy is taking part in the academy because her second major is criminal justice. Her first major is psychology. “I just thought it would be a really good experience to get my foot in the door,” Claffy said. “Living in Bloomington, I thought it would be really fun to see what the police do around here in the environment I’m living in.” Oldham led the first week of the academy. He taught about the history of BPD and explained the different divisions and specialized units within the police department.

NASSAU, Bahamas — When Hurricane Dorian tore through the Bahamas last week it largely spared the country’s capital. But now Nassau is feeling the backlash of the killer storm, as it scrambles to house thousands of evacuees who have been left destitute and homeless. The government says more than 4,800 people have been evacuated from hard-hit regions of the Bahamas and more are arriving in Nassau daily. The Kendal G.L. Isaacs Gymnasium in Nassau is the country’s largest shelter, home to about 1,500 evacuees, and it, like New Providence, the island of which the capital is a part, is reaching maximum capacity, said Carlos Reid, the spokesman for the shelter. Nassau “is not built to handle this influx at this particular time,” Reid said, as about a hundred people were standing in line under a blazing sun, waiting to be checked into the complex. “We don’t have enough schools to do it; our hospitals and healthcare system can’t handle it. Our goal has to be how we can help these people and then get these people back to their islands so they can rebuild it.” Asked how long the government was prepared to house the Dorian evacuees, Reid said it was impossible to know. “We have never seen anything of this magnitude,” he said. “We’re going to have to take it one day at a time.” Dorian roared through the archipelago last week as a deadly Category 5 hurricane, packing winds of 185 miles per hour. Then it sat for more than 40 hours over parts of the northern Baha-

belt and body camera on his chest. He said the total value of exterior equipment police officers wear is around $5,000. Oldham also talked about the physical and psychological demands of the job. He said most police officers will have many injuries if they have been working for 20-30 years. “This is not an easy job,”
Oldham said. “It’s not for the faint of heart.” After Oldham’s presentation, the participants were taken on a tour of the BPD facility. Citizens were able to see the detective offices, evidence packaging area and evidence lockers and room in the basement. Next to the evidence packaging area were many teddy bears and blankets
mas, chewing up swaths of the tourist paradise and delivering what Prime Minister Huber Minnis is calling “generational damage” to Abaco and Grand Bahama islands. The death toll now stands at 45, but is expected to rise, with search-and-rescue operations still under way. Nassau, home to about 270,000 people, was already seen as crowded and overwhelmed by the island’s standards. And there are fears that an influx of evacuees — some of them undocumented Haitians — might raise the pressure. Reid said that 95% of those checking into the sports complex were Haitian nationals. While the press was kept out of the shelter, evacuees said they were given cots, sheets, food and water and were being treated well. Some had initially resisted the evacuation fearing they might be deported back to Haiti — despite government assurances to the contrary. Jean Baptiste Wilson, 29, moved to Abaco from Haiti seven months ago and lost what little he had to the storm. He was holed up at a church when Dorian roared in and he had to tread water for half an hour to stay alive. Although he was initially worried about taking the free ferry ride to Nassau because he’s an undocumented migrant, he said the level of destruction he saw put it all into perspective. “I would rather be deported without a penny than stay in Abaco,” he said. The evacuation of the Bahamas’ hard-hit areas seemed to be hitting a turning point Monday, as some planes and boats were returning to Nassau only partially filled. By Jim Wyss Miami Herald

After three years of waiting, Whitney’s fans got the chance to enjoy the band’s sophomore album on the tour’s first stop Story and photos by Alex Deryn aderyn@iu.edu
Brass player Will Miller plays his trumpet Sept. 9 in the Bluebird. Miller belongs to the Chicago indie band Whitney.
Indie music lovers stood in the warm, buttery light as they watched Whitney start their dreamy set with the breakup song “Polly” in the stage room of The Bluebird Nightclub on Monday night. The eight-member band chose Bloomington as their first stop on the “Forever Turned Around” tour due to their southern Indiana ties, according to their website. Back in 2016, Secretly Canadian, the independent record label representing Whitney, released a music video for “No Woman” on YouTube. Bloomington videographers Hugh Sherman Donkin and Zak Stoldt filmed the band in Monroe County for the video. “They’re like a bunch of brothers when they hang out,” videographer Hugh Sherman Donkin said. “Definitely a lot of mischief there.” After three long years of waiting, fans were finally able to enjoy the band’s sophomore album, “Forever Turned Around,” live in concert after it was dropped Aug. 30. Bloomington also welcomed the band at IU’s 2016 Culture Shock festival. IU senior Katie Maher compared her past Whitney experience at Culture Shock to the Bluebird’s show as being more relaxed. “This is going to be more contained and laid back since it’s 21 and over,” Maher said. Fans cheered as lead vocalist and drummer Julien Ehrlich grabbed his hanging microphone. It was the first time the band had performed any of their newer songs in front of a live audience. “You’re like the guinea pigs,” Ehrlich told his boisterous crowd after singing two songs with no pauses. After diving into more well-known singles, the band gave a warning to everyone inside the bar. Ehrlich explained that it might get a little weird as he adjusted his cymbals. The Bloomington crowd screamed once they realized they were the first ones to hear “My Life Alone” live. Heads immediately started bobbing in unison to the sound of the drums. Before ending their booming setlist, the band told everyone they were not going to have a typical “encore session.” The crowd was warned that there were going to be two more songs performed and then another handful of songs after a quick onstage break. During their official set’s end song, “Golden Days,” beer flew out of generic, plastic cups, and hips swayed. “‘Cause I’m searching for those golden days,” Whitney fans loudly bellowed. A fresh, young era of soft rock and roll seemed to emerge through the crowded halls of the Bluebird among college students and older adults alike. “No Woman,” officially ended the night after more than two hours of live music. “We’ll see you again soon,” Ehrlich promised before exiting the stage. “We will be back.” Editors note: Katie Maher has worked for the Indiana Daily Student.

Schmid finishes second as season tees off By Doug Wattley dwattley@iu.edu | @dougwattley
In the first tournament of the season, junior Priscilla Schmid led the IU women’s golf team to a seventh-place finish out of 15 schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Tuesday afternoon. Individually, Schmid played the best during the three-round, two-day event after shooting seven under par. She opened Monday shooting a 71 in the morning and a 68 in the afternoon, followed by a 70 in the final round Tuesday. Of the 87 golfers who participated in the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational, Schmid finished tied for second individually and was the only golfer that posted under par (72) in all three rounds. IU head coach Clint Wallman said he believes her consistency is not a fluke. “I saw a lot of maturity,” Wallman said. “Priscilla handled herself really, really well. She didn’t make a lot of putts early on, but she hung in there, stuck with it, and did a really good job.” For Schmid, the key was

Football Peyton Hendershot, junior, tight end Late in the second quarter against Eastern Illinois University, Hendershot blasted through the Panther defense en route to an eight-yard touchdown reception. At 6 feet, 4 inches, 255 pounds, he excels in short-yard scenarios, where linebackers look for big hits against smaller receivers. After two games, Hendershot has netted nine receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown. As opposing secondaries seek to contain home run threats such as fifth-year seniors Nick Westbrook and Donavan Hale, Hendershot will be invaluable in quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s mid-range passing game. Volleyball Deyshia Lofton, senior, middle blocker In a sport that demands versatility from its players, senior Deyshia Lofton is a key asset for the Hoosiers. Lofton’s 6-foot-2 stature has helped propel her into the top 10 all-time at IU for career blocks, but equally formidable is her skill in the back row. Here, she has amassed six aces this season, including four in a victory over the University of Tennessee at Martin. With a hitting percentage of .508 after seven matches, Lofton boasts an offensive efficiency that gives IU a fighting chance in every set. Men’s soccer Ian Black, senior, forward Through four games, Black has contributed one assist and three goals, two of which were the only scored by IU in its victory over the University of Denver on Sept. 6. Now in his fourth year on the team, Black is the most experienced member of the Hoo-

sier offense. In a season framed by great expectations, Black will shoulder not just the responsibility of generating points, but also leading a young offensive core through adversity. He proved capable of doing so in IU’s comeback win over the University of Pittsburgh, when Black had an assist and a game-tying goal to take the Panthers into overtime. Women’s soccer Oliwia Wos, sophomore, defender In order for the IU women’s team to ascend to a nationally competitive level, it will need a competitor who has been there before. Sophomore transfer Oliwia Wos started 13 games for the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons last year, a unit that advanced to the third round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament. The Poland native also has experience playing on her homeland’s U-17 and U-19 teams. Wos has started all five games for the Hoosiers in 2019, pitching in defensive play and an assist in

IU’s 5-0 drubbing of Morehead State University. Field hockey Kelsey Giese, senior, back/midfield As the IU field hockey team faces a veritable gauntlet of ranked opponents in the Big Ten, it will no doubt rally behind senior captain Kelsey Giese. She leads the team in shots taken with 12, including a critical goal in a win over Ball State on Sept. 8. Giese has also provided two assists, one of which led to the game-clinching score in double overtime against Drexel University. With conference play fast approaching, look for the Hoosiers to lean on Giese’s aggression as the focal point of this year’s offense. Men’s cross-country Ben Veatch, senior Last season, injury kept Ben Veatch beyond the tape of the cross-country course, cheering on a squad that finished 15th in the country. Now, the 2016-17 Big Ten Freshman of the Year has a chance at a trium-
phant return. At the NCAA Track and Field Championships in June, he posted an impressive time of 30:14.93 in the 10-kilometer race. Veatch is no stranger to leadership. He was IU’s top runner in 2017 and will be integral to the success of a much-anticipated Hoosier team that returns four of its top five runners from 2018. Women’s cross-country Bailey Hertenstein, sophomore Following the graduation of All-American athletes Maggie Allen and Katherine Receveur, there are big spikes to fill on the IU women’s cross-country team. Much of that duty will be carried by sophomore Bailey Hertenstein, who last year was third among Hoosiers at the NCAA National Championships. Though perhaps lacking in experience, Hertenstein bears no shortage of successful races, recording a 6-kilometer race time of 20:58.7 at the 2018 Pre-Nationals, then finishing 28th in the Big Ten Championships with a time of 20:52.5.
IU volleyball head coach Steve Aird has had a goal for his team when it comes to how many non-conference wins he wants to tally before entering the Big Ten gauntlet, he said. That number is between eight and 10 wins, and with seven nonconference games down and six to go, IU seems to be right on pace with a 5-2 record. However, the rest of its non-conference matches will be played away from Wilkinson Hall. IU will head to Lexington, Kentucky,this weekend to play three road matches for the first time this season. It will be the first of eight straight matches away from Bloomington for the Hoosiers. On Friday, IU will square off against Florida Gulf Coast University at 10 a.m. and Cleveland State University at 6 p.m. Saturday afternoon. The 15th ranked University of Kentucky will host the Hoosiers at 4 p.m. to round out a weekend that should say a lot about where the team is at heading into Big Ten play. “If we play well, we’re in them,” Aird said. “If we don’t play well, all three teams will beat us. They’re well coached and they’re good.” Kentucky comes in this week as the second highest ranked South Eastern Conference school and will undoubtedly be IU’s toughest test yet. The Wildcats are 4-2 on the season and have yet to play a home match. The Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast have started the season 6-0, a record that includes wins against Auburn University and San Diego State University. Cleveland State heads to Lexington at 2-4 on the season.

“We’re focusing on us,” senior middle blocker Jacqui Armer said. “We’re focusing on getting a little bit better every single day.” Armer, a Louisiana State University transfer, is no stranger to playing SEC opponents. In her three years at LSU, Armer made numerous visits to Lexington to take on conference opponent Kentucky. The status of freshman libero Haley Armstrong remains up in the air heading into this weekend’s matches. Armstrong was taken out of last Friday’s match against Oklahoma University with what Aird called an upperbody injury. As for Kendall Beerman, the redshirt senior is continuing to add reps and work her way back into action as she recovers from the torn ACL she suffered last season. Beerman has played limited minutes in three matches. “The volume during the week has gotten more and more,” Aird said. “It’s going to get easier when we play a match and we have a few days off. I’m still trying to pick and choose when it’s going to make sense to play her. But, our best version of us is going to be with her in the lineup. She’s got too much arm talent and she’s a really good volleyball player.” With no home matches again until Oct. 4, IU will travel to Lexington this weekend and Tampa Bay, Florida,next weekend to wrap up the nonconference schedule. “This year, being at home through the first couple weeks, it was an advantage for sure,” Aird said. “I think they are excited to get on the road. No matter what the sport is, I think coaches will tell you it’s kind of fun to get the team on the road where the distractions are gone.”

her second round, which tied Schmid for the best round by IU. The team finished 11 over, while senior Elisa Pierre finished 11 over as well, playing individually. The tournament featured strong programs including Pepperdine University and champion Kent State University, among others. “Playing in a tournament like this against this competition is a great measuring stick,” Wallman said. “There’s definitely some stuff we have to work on, but there’s a lot of optimism.” Next on the plate for IU is the Cardinal Classic at Ball State in Muncie, Indiana. The Hoosiers will send freshmen Hannah Tanaka and Valerie Clancy and sophomore Arushi Singh there to compete. The team looks forward to improving their young talent Wallman mentioned, while the top golfers get ready for the tournaments soon after. But for now, Wallman is taking each match one step at a time. “We have a lot of fire power,” Wallman said. “We just have to be consistent. We’ll get there.”

SOME GROSS TAKES
Hoosier football needs to make Justin Fields a thrower Jack Grossman is a senior in sports media.
Why has IU football failed to beat Ohio State — or rather THE™ Ohio State University — in the last 24 tries? A lot of reasons that would take too long to list. But throughout the almost 31 years of losing to the Buckeyes, one statistic has been consistent. IU has given up 27 or more points in 22 of the 24 contests and have failed to keep the Buckeyes under 20 points since that 41-7 victory in October 1988. While OSU’s ludicrous attempt to trademark the word THE will have roughly the same affect as the last 24 contests will have on the 2019 game. IU will likely not have a chance to win Saturday if it fails to hold Ohio State under 27 points. The best chance IU head coach Tom Allen has of holding the Buckeyes under that magic 27 is for the Hoosier defense to have success defending the run. Yes, in his first two games as a Buckeye, sophomore quarterback Justin Fields has exceeded the extremely high expectations that were set for him in the Georgia transfer’s first campaign in Columbus, Ohio. With a 76% completion percentage, 458 yards on just 50 pass attempts, six touchdowns and a total quarterback rating of 93.6 in seven quarters of action, Fields has been a force throwing the football. However, if IU is to com-

Head coach Tom Allen claps for his team Aug. 31 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Beating a non-conference, in-state school at an NFL stadium is an exciting way to kick off a season, but the coaching staff and players are more than eager to play in front of a home crowd in Bloomington.
pete with No.6 Ohio State on Saturday afternoon, Allen and defensive coordinator Kane Wommack will have to make the former top prospect beat IU with his arm, rather than his legs. “Everybody knows that the skill level and firepower and the scheme that Ohio State has is elite,” Wommack said. “Fields and [run-

ning back J.K.] Dobbins do a phenomenal job in the run game. At any given moment you have to focus on [them].” The combo of Fields, Dobbins and freshman running back Master Teague have rushed for 444 yards on 78 carries, 5.69 yards per carry, and have been the heart of the Buckeye offense
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7 — Keep your patience with someone. Support each other through a transition. Share the load to begin a new phase. You can do this.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 — Keep an open mind. Romantic changes have your attention. Relax, and review the facts. Avoid jumping to expensive conclusions. Wait for developments.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7 — There are plenty of changes affecting your interests in the news. Monitor what's happening in real time. Prepare your messaging, and keep your tone respectful.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7 — A shift with your work, health or fitness requires adaptation. Avoid risky business. Make technical improvements, upgrade equipment and work with a good coach.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7 — Handle domestic chores and projects while considering upcoming changes. Fix something before it breaks. Listen to your intuition, especially with family. Serve comfort food.

University when it faces the Buckeyes. In Lucas Oil Stadium, Ball State overcame its smaller front by crowding the box defensively to eliminate holes and space for sophomore running back Stevie Scott and the rest of the Hoosier running backs. The result was IU struggling to run the ball. Aside from redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr., Hoosier backs rushed for fewer than three yards per carry. Now the script has flipped. When compared to the behemoths Ohio State will field on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage, IU will be the team undersized up front this weekend. To counteract, Wommack will have to bring extra men into the box to try to plug gaps and eliminate big plays on the ground. The risk factor here is that IU’s defensive backs will be left in one-on-one coverage with Ohio State’s speedy receivers. But in a game of pick your poison, IU’s only shot to compete is if Fields is trying to win the game by beating IU’s secondary, which is the most experienced position group defensively, rather than being able to dominate the game from the point of attack along with Dobbins and Teague. If IU fails to contain the mobile Fields and his backfield mates, it will be a long Saturday afternoon for the Hoosiers in Bloomington.
so far this season. The Buckeyes have used their ground game to dominate opponents with big gains on first down to keep the offense ahead of the chains and have used the rushing attack to set up explosive plays both on the ground and in the air. The explosiveness that takes the OSU offense from
good to great comes from both the run game and by completing passes that were set up from a strong ground attack. So to slow down the Ohio State offense, IU will have to have to limit OSU to one dimension. In an awkward turn of events, IU can take some lessons learned in its season opener with Ball State
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 — Take charge of your destiny. When one road is blocked, choose another. Invest in something solid. Your ideas are attracting attention. Listen to inner wisdom.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7 — Keep your tone polite and respectful. Listen more than you speak. Check public opinion, and consider yours carefully before attempting expression. Support others, and be supported.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is an 8 — Pack lightly and carefully. Traffic delays could slow the action. Plan ahead for different scenarios. Make a long-distance connection. Prepare for educational changes.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6 — Your concentration could get interrupted. Don't be hasty or take risks. Review and consider privately. Some worries are well founded. Listen to intuition.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 7 — A professional controversy swirls. Avoid provoking jealousies or sensitivities. Take charge, and provide a solution. One door closes, and another one opens. Consider options.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7 — Things could get expensive. Monitor closely to avoid fees. Cut unused subscriptions or services. Communications helps with a shortfall. Find new income sources.

Artists give free concert at Landlocked Music By Grace Abushalback gabushal@iu.edu
Will Johnson, Justin Vollmar and Amy O performed at the Landlocked Music Record Store from 6 to 8 p.m. The performance wasn’t the Austin, Texas, native’s first, since he has an arsenal of six solo albums and remains occupied with everything from music production to writing to painting. The audience was welcomed to the show with soft guitar strums. LPs, CDs and band posters were littered throughout the shop. The location provided a quaint, warm atmosphere. Vollmar took the stage first with a sweet, folky entrance, sitting on the stage in front of a big blue and yellow Landlocked Music sign. The setting was similar to that of an intimate family gathering. Vollmar was soon accompanied by Amy O, who combined had slow and relaxing voices. The performance consisted of subtle, tame plucking on their guitar strings. The setlist included a song about find-
ing a penny and picking it up, but Vollmar made the menial task interesting and imaginative. Loyal listeners stood up for the full duration to listen to a fresh, innocent sound about morality lessons and candidly escaping. Throughout the concert, people walked through the music store to buy records and were greeted with live music. The duo matched each other’s energy with shared smiles and harmonies and have been touring together for about five years. Vollmar described his sound as ”kind of like a bedroom folk.” Johnson was the next performance and showed he was not one to shy away from getting lost in his acoustic playing by closing his eyes and relentlessly tapping his feet to the beat. His LPs and art were scattered about at the front of the stage. Johnson joked about how his life currently is, saying, “I’ve been sitting in a car eating chicken nuggets for 3 days straight.” After his set, Anna Brown, a junior at IU study-

ing Media said, “I thought it was really good. Kind of a cozy acoustic vibe.”
The session was unplugged with no speaker. Nearing the end of his per-
formance Johnson thanked both Landlocked Music and the audience.
“Thanks for taking time out of your supper,” Johnson said.
Film festival brings paddling sports films to Bloomington By Cameron Garber garberc@iu.edu
The 14th annual Paddling Film Festival came to Bloomington at 7:30 Sunday night. Screening at the BuskirkChumley Theater, the festival has screened in more than 120 cities since its inception in 2006 to a cumulative audience of more than 282,000 people in the United States, Canada and the world at large. The festival featured 26 films centering on paddling sports such as kayaking, ca-
noeing and paddleboarding. Among these films is “Feel of Vision,” a documentary about Indiana native Lonnie Bedwell, a veteran who became blind due to a hunting accident. Despite the accident, Bedwell learned to overcome his disability through his passion for kayaking and became famous for completing the first blind descent of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. “I felt like I was stuck behind these walls that I couldn’t see over or around,” Bedwell
said in the trailer for the film. “Now that I’ve been on the other side of that wall, I feel like it’s my new duty and mission to go back through that door and get as many people as I can and bring that to that other side.” The preceding advertisements leading into the screenings were all for white-water sports, which played to an audience that nearly packed the 600-seat theater. The intended audience was adventure enthusiasts, as evidenced by the message that was handed to

every patron that night, which reminded them that although paddling is a solo activity, they were part of a bigger community “that cares deeply about your safety and enjoyment on the water.” “As paddlers, we escape into the wilderness in small numbers, and being alone there is part of the charm. But we are not alone,” Scott MacGregor, founder and publisher for Rapid Media, which organizes the annual festival, said in the informational pamphlet.
