IU Health will temporarily suspend half of its system’s inpatient non-urgent, or elective, surgeries and procedures beginning Monday amid rising COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations, according to an official statement from the health system.

“The move is needed to alleviate some of the enormous pressure our care teams are under and to reserve inpatient space for those who need it most,” the statement read. “Elective surgery patients (non-emergent, non-urgent) are being notified now and will be rescheduled about three weeks out.”

An elective surgery is a surgery that can be scheduled in advance rather than for an urgent medical condition, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Elective surgery may be for a non-life-threatening condition, but it may also be for a serious condition or disease such as cancer.

The Indiana State Department of Health reported over 5,000 new positive COVID-19 cases Wednesday, averaging a 14-day increase of 76%. Hospitalizations of confirmed COVID-19 patients reached 1,817 on the same day, a 68% increase from the hospitalization count 14 days ago.

IU Health is Indiana’s largest network of physicians and serves more than 1 million of the state’s population of 6.7 million, according to its website.

City Council begins budget process

By Sean Gilley spgilley@iu.edu | @SeanyG729

The Bloomington City Council debated Mayor John Hamilton’s 2022 budget proposals for each government department Aug. 23--26.

His proposed budget, totaling $179 million for the 2021-22 fiscal year, includes funds from both the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act and the American Rescue Plan Act. Hamilton addressed two large challenges: inclusion and sustainability.

“We must sustain the basics, being able to practically and efficiently provide what people need and expect from city government, and we must try to reach farther, aim higher toward the future,” Hamilton said.

After each of the department budget hearings last week, the council gave recommendations signaling whether the budget should pass when it comes to a final vote.

The council normally introduces and discusses budget related legislation in September with final votes in October.

Notable departments from Hamilton’s 2022 budget proposal include the police department, human resource department, and Bloomington Transit.

Students have been experiencing extended bus delays on the campus bus service, which has caused them to arrive late to class, director of IU Campus Bus Service Brian R Noojin said.

Noojin said these delays could be happening due to the lack of education on how the bus system works.

This freshman class is the biggest in the history of the university, according to the official IU news website, so lack of experience using the buses could be one of the causes of lengthy bus delays, Noojin said.

Noojin also said the sophomore class likely never learned exactly how to use the bus system last year due to the limited number of inperson classes on campus at the time, so this could also be a contributing factor.

He said the buses are seeing traffic on campus like they have never seen before because of the freshman class size.

Noojin said buses are running 20 to 40 minutes late.

“This is because they are running trips back to back for two hours, and our drivers are not getting a break because they are stuck in traffic for so long,” Noojin said.

Maddie Slepski, a freshman living in Briscoe Quadrangle, has had a challenging time getting used to the delayed bus system.

Slepski said her freshman experience has gotten off to a rough start due to the extremely long bus rides to her classes.

“I normally sit on the bus for roughly 20 to 30 minutes before arriving at my stop,” Slepski said. “I am typically late to my classes even when I am getting on the bus an hour before my classes are scheduled to start.”

Noojin said traffic is usually bad during the first week of class but not to the extent that is happening this year.

“I think it could be a general lack of education on the student’s part about where you need to be in order to be picked up,” Noojin said. “You have to be at an official bus stop, so that it can safely pick people up and drop them off.”

Freshman at IU are having an especially difficult time getting used to the traffic on campus along with using the bus system.

These delays seem to have many factors that cause the rides to be much longer than advertised, Freshman Taylor Coonce said.

Coonce believes the DoubleMap bus tracking app does not do a good job of explaining the schedule of each bus route.

Noojin thinks the delays will not be as severe the entire semester and will likely improve once students are used to the system.

Police Department The Bloomington Police Department requested almost $20.2 million, which is a 9% increase from last year, BPD Chief Mike Diekhoff said.

Most of the additional money requested by the department was for personnel. According to the presentation given to the council, BPD wants to fill the remaining sworn officer positions in 2022. Currently the quota is 105 sworn officers. Only 93 sworn officers have been hired and 76 of those are readily available for dispatch.

Sworn officers are those who have arresting power and wear a badge. For example, if one were to get pulled over for speeding, it would likely be by a sworn officer.

Diekhoff said BPD’s goals for 2022 include increasing the community’s sense of safety, analyzing crime data, adjusting the central emergency dispatch and improving the records division.

Bloomington Pridefest returned to the streets this year as an in-person street festival with booths, wellness activities, music performances and other entertainment on East Kirkwood Avenue on Aug. 28.

Bloomington Pridefest has been ranked as the “Best College Town Pride” in the nation by Thrillist in 2019.

Some of the featured entertainment at the festival included a dance party with DJ Spikes, MPG wrestling and two drag shows. Entertainment ran for most of the afternoon on the main stage at Kirkwood Avenue and

Grant Street, in Peoples Park and near the intersection of Lincoln Street and Kirkwood Avenue.

The first drag show of the night had people cheering along and dancing to loud music. A variety of performers took their time both on and off the stage mingling with the crowd.

Every performer brought something different to their performance, whether that be with outfits ranging from a Sailor Moon cosplay to a superhero outfit. One of the drag performers played out a story about facing rejection for being transgender before getting into the rest of their performance.

In between performers, the

emcee shouted out the names of the various local sponsors, ranging from local gay bar The Back Door to the IU Kinsey Institute.

Health education and wellness events took place inside the Monroe County Public Library from 1-6 p.m.

Events ranged from yoga to HIV testing services in conjunction with IU Health Positive Link.

Many participating booths lining the street sold pride gear like rainbow folding fans, while others focused on sharing information about what their organization does in Bloomington.

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed an executive order to extend the state’s public health emergency declaration, according to a press release Monday.

The extension means many government meetings, including the various Bloomington City Council meetings in September, will all continue to be held over Zoom rather than a hybrid or in-person format.

This renewal of the public health emergency declaration is the 18th since the start of the pandemic, according to the signed executive order. There continues to be a federal public health emergency declaration in place, which is up for renewal every 90 days. It currently is set to end Oct. 18, 2021, though it is expected to be renewed through the end of 2021.

Holcomb also signed a second executive order to extend a specific COVID-19 order on a short-term basis to allow for health care stakeholders to evaluate hospital needs during the current surge, according to the release.

What to know about annexation in Bloomington

MALLOREY DAUNHAUER | IDS

A “Stop Annexation” sign appears Aug. 23 on Vernal Pike in Bloomington. The Bloomington City Council has been discussing the annexation of areas around the outskirts of the city.

By Sean Gilley spgilley@iu.edu | @SeanyG729

The city of Bloomington is in the process of annexing additional areas located outside the outskirts of the city limits. With the somewhat recent dispute between the state and city government regarding this instance of local annexation, property owners in these annexed areas might not have any legal basis to oppose this city-wide effort.

What is annexation?

Annexation is the process by which a city extends city boundaries to include previously unincorporated, adjacent areas of the surrounding community, according to the document. This is a routine process for cities across the U.S. to extend city boundaries.

What is the procedure and timeline for annexation?

The steps necessary for annexation as laid out in the Indiana Code are as follows: • A mail notice is sent to every property owner in the proposed area of annexation including dates and times for six public outreach sessions.

• Public outreach sessions are held.

• The annexation ordinances are introduced in a city council meeting and physical plans are adopted.

• The city publishes and informs property owners of upcoming public hearings on these ordinances.

• Public hearings are held.

• City Council meets to consider adoption of the ordinances.

• The city publishes the adoption of the ordinances and mail information to property owners about the remonstrance process.

The city already completed steps one through three before the state legislature passed a law halting annexation only in Bloomington.

On Dec. 15, 2020, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled in favor of the city, stating that Act 1427 was unconstitutional.

Since then, the city has continued this annexation process and expects the process to be completed this year, according to the document. If adopted, the city proposes to delay the effective date until Jan. 1, 2024, which postponed the final act of annexation until that year.

According to the document, this delay is to both allow the city to prepare for extended service delivery and for property owners to adjust to potential financial impacts.

What areas are proposed for annexation?

The total area is 9,255 acres with a total population of 14,377 people. According to a Aug. 10 City of Bloomington press release, Mayor John Hamilton is recommending the removal of area 7 from the list.

“Located alongside our city’s northward corridor, Area 7 seems to offer gateway potential,” Hamilton said in the press release.

“But additional details from residents, Council members, and facts on the ground clarify its limited prospects for development, so we are recommending

that this area not be considered for annexation.”

What will change for me if I live in an annexed area?

Taxes In a video on the city of Bloomington’s YouTube channel, City Attorney Mike Rouker explains some of the changes property owners can see in the taxes they pay.

“After annexation some folks who weren’t previously paying taxes to the city of Bloomington will begin to pay some taxes to the city of Bloomington,” Rouker said.

That tax increase would start to be paid in 2025. Property taxes in the annexed areas would increase because a municipal layer of taxes would be added, according to documents released by the city.

However, property taxes would be the only taxes affected. Rouker said annexation does not impact income, sales or any other tax a resident would pay. Certain entities, such as churches, non-profits organizations or universities would qualify for exemptions from property taxes.

Services After annexation, some of the services recently incorporated areas can expect to receive are city policing, curbside trash and recycling collection, city street maintenance, neighborhood grants funding infrastructure and programming. Other services can be found on the services breakdown on the Annexation FAQ document.

Zoning and Property Use According to the annexation FAQ document, any legal use of land prior to the effective date of the annexation that ultimately conflicts with the city’s zoning code or future rezoning will be grandfathered in, meaning zoning won’t change. However, certain practices which present violations in health and safety codes, such as open burning, shooting guns, violating noise ordinances, etc., would not be grandfathered in the same way.

For more information regarding fiscal plans, tax breakdowns, and general updates, visit the city’s Annexation Page.

What is remonstrance?

Remonstrance is the legal process where property owners may formally object to the proposed annexation. However, in this recent instance of annexation many property owners are unable to remonstrant for one of two reasons.

Those who live on the edge of city limits sometimes agree to sign a waiver of protest of annexation. The legally binding agreement is usually signed if property owners on the edge of city limits want to get access to some city services, such as utilities or city water.

Waivers are important to the annexation process in Indiana because those with waivers are not eligible to contest or oppose the annexation. Whether or not the waivers in Bloomington have expired is in dispute.

Under current Indiana law, there are certain conditions under which waivers can expire. The city is continuing the annexation process assuming the waivers are valid, despite a 2019 law enacted by the state legislature. Monroe County Auditor Catherine Smith, who determines who is eligible to vote for or against annexation, has said she plans to follow the 2019 law, putting the city’s plans into jeopardy.

Local health officials urge residents to vaccinate

By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @WeiWangDavid23

Monroe County officials raised the alarm about rising COVID-19 positive cases during the city of Bloomington’s weekly COVID-19 press conference Friday. Local health officials also stressed the risk of infection and importance of vaccination for children and pregnant individuals.

COVID-19 status in Bloomington As Indiana’s COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations approach levels unseen since January, Monroe County’s COVID-19 rates are also worsening, county health officials said.

IU Health South Central Region’s hospitalization numbers have reached the same levels as in early January, said Brian Shockney, the system’s regional president. Among the total 54 hospitalized patients on Wednesday, 45 were unvaccinated, according to data provided by Shockney during the presentation. All 12 patients in intensive care units and all 5 patients on ventilators were unvaccinated.

Bloomington’s city government reported four positive COVID-19 cases among

its employees this week, the highest number of weekly positive cases since Jan. 28, Mayor John Hamilton said.

Monroe County has one of the lowest COVID-19 positivity rates in the state, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. However, Hamilton stressed this is because local institutions like IU are taking proactive steps to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

“More employers and institutions should and can be considering stronger protections and incentives for vaccinations,” he said.

Indiana’s seven-day average of positive COVID-19 cases has risen from around 200 per day at the end of June to 3,704 on Wednesday, according to the ISDH. Meanwhile, Monroe County’s seven-day average has risen from a summer low of five per day in June to 34 on Wednesday.

“People are getting very sick,” Hamilton said. “These are alarming numbers.”

Vaccination urged for pregnant individuals and children Pregnant and recently pregnant individuals are at an increased risk of severe illness related to COVID-19, Shockney said. Across the U.S., more than 18,000 preg-

nant mothers have become hospitalized due to the severity of their illnesses as a result of COVID-19 infection, he said. The number amounts to a 17% hospitalization rate among pregnant mothers.

Pregnant people with COVID-19 are more likely to deliver their infant earlier than 37 weeks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“The best way for pregnant individuals to protect themselves is to be vaccinated,” Shockney said.

Monroe County Health Department Administrator Penny Caudill cited the consensus among maternal care experts that COVID-19 vaccines have no impact on fertility and that pregnant individuals should receive vaccination to protect themselves and their infants.

The risk of a woman not getting the vaccine in her pregnancy far outweighs any risks of vaccination, Caudill said.

In addition to pregnant people, Shockney said pediatricians are reporting more children being hospitalized for COVID-19 in recent weeks than any time during this pandemic.

Children 5 to 16 years old constitute 7% of the positive cases in Monroe County, 10.9% in Indiana and

8.2% nationally, he said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for individuals 16 and older Monday. Caudill said now is the time for vaccine-hesitant individuals to get the vaccine.

“If you have been waiting for full approval for the vaccine before you were vaccinated, now is the time,” she said.

Expanded testing and vaccination coverage A new mobile clinic is open for two days for local residents to test for COVID-19 and receive vaccinations, Caudill said. The clinic is located at 500 N. Profile Parkway and is open from noon to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Caudill said the county is shifting focus to setting up smaller, more targeted clinics, including school vaccination clinics for COVID-19 and flu vaccines. Both vaccines are optional for students and open for all eligible children.

In addition, IU Health South Central Region has expanded its walk-in clinics’ hours to include evening and weekend coverage, Shockney said. These extensions apply to the clinics in Bloomington, Bedford, Morgan and Paoli.

MCCSC meeting interrupted by maskless speaker

By Sean Gilley spgilley@iu.edu | @SeanyG729

A Monroe County Community School Corporation Board of Trustees meeting was forced into a 15-minute recess Tuesday after an argument erupted about 50 minutes into the meeting.

Margaret Menge — a parent, conservative journalist, former IU Board of Trustees candidate and Bloomington resident — took her mask off as she was stepping up to the podum to comment, telling Board President Cathy FuentesRohwer that she wasn’t going to wear the mask.

“I am going to take this off Cathy because I can’t breathe,” Menge said.

Menge told FuentesRohwer she had “natural immunity” while repeatedly calling masks stupid. She attempted to continue, saying

that there is no science behind the masks. According to the CDC, studies show the community masking effectively reduces the spread of COVID-19. Student resource officer Brian Mobley quickly approached Menge, pulling the microphone away from her and gesturing her to step away from the podium.

Menge refused to comply and declined to leave the meeting. Fuentes-Rohwer instructed Menge to leave if she wasn’t going to follow required mask protocol. Several other board members, including Jacinda Townsend Gides, then gestured for Menge to leave the conference room before Vice President Brandon Shurr requested an immediate, 15-minute recess.

After reconvening, Fuentes-Rohwer addressed the prior incident and emphasized that all speakers at the board

meeting must comply with the county’s indoor mask mandate.

“We’re going to try this again,” she said. “We shouldn’t have to put adults into ‘timeout,’ so I’m hoping that we can follow the rules and wear the masks and speak in turn so we can have public comment.”

This wasn’t the first instance of a parent taking off their mask in the meeting.

Local parent Scott Taylor began his comments that day by informing the board that he was going to remove his mask.

“I’m going to remove my mask if that’s OK, because according to Monroe County health order, anyone public speaking can maintain six feet from anybody speaking,” Taylor said.

Fuentes-Rohwer responded to Taylor by reaffirming that masks do in fact

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in Monroe County.

Over 900 were reported in 30 days.

need to be worn in the meeting. Taylor complied, putting his mask back on before speaking. According to MCCSC policies, masks must be worn in board meetings and on school grounds, including classrooms, hallways and offices regardless of vaccination status.

MCCSC teachers, including those who spoke at the meeting Tuesday, are struggling to balance in-person and virtual instruction. Although many teachers are pleased to teach their students in person again, they are also finding it difficult to manage the extra hours necessary to prepare and handle both.

Earthquake, tropical storm hit Haiti

By Abriana Herron aoherron@iu.edu | @abri_onyai

Rubble surrounded the Haitian people as dust and debris smeared their skin and clothes. The people from the hard-hit cities of Les Cayes and Jeremie looked at their surroundings to see that some of the previously rebuilt houses came down again.

According to the New York Times, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Aug. 14. The earthquake killed more than 2,200 people, injuring thousands and leaving many without homes, with 300 people still missing. Two days later, on Aug. 16, Haiti was hit by Tropical Storm Grace, further damaging the country’s infrastructure and economy.

The combination of the two natural disasters comes after Haiti experienced a political crisis due to the assassination of President Jovenel Moise on July 7. According to Reuters, Moise was killed inside his home in Port au Prince, the country’s capital.

His wife, Martine Moise, was badly injured and sent to Miami, Florida, to receive treatment.

and rebuilding from previous natural disasters — Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and the January 2010 earthquake — the Haitian community is devastated as many people have lost housing, and the government is not financially equipped to repair damaged

buildings.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka, who’s father is from Haiti, shared her grief for Haiti in a Twitter post and said she plans to send the money she received from the Western and Southern Open tournament in Cincinnati to the

country.

“Really hurts to see all the devastation that’s going on in Haiti, and I feel like we really can’t catch a break,” Osaka said. “I’m about to play a tournament this week and I’ll give all the prize money to relief efforts for Haiti. I

know our ancestor’s blood is strong. We’ll keep rising.”

The Dominican Republic, Mexico, the U.S. and the United Nations promised to send humanitarian aid — materials such as water and food supplies — to Haiti. However, people like Mydgie Pierre-

Louis, a Haitian-American and recent IU graduate, are wary of the aid being sent to the country and where it is going.

Pierre-Louis said after the 2010 earthquake, many Haitians couldn’t identify how the money was actually helping the community rebuild, and they’re worried they won’t be able to for this earthquake either.

“People were not happy,” Pierre-Louis said. “When COVID happened, there wasn’t any relief. So people are hesitant of trusting the foreign aid sometimes with money and even food.”

The Aug. 14 earthquake was more powerful than the 2010 earthquake, a 7 magnitude earthquake that killed over 200,000 people. This earthquake is expected to have fewer casualties since the quake hit further away from the highly populated Port au Prince.

Pierre-Louis said she takes pride in their heritage and the Haitian community because of its people’s perseverance through hardships.

“Haiti is very important to me even though I’m here,” Pierre-Louis said. “The resilience of its people, that is why I love Haiti.”

Dear Black people, your mental health matters.

By Donyá Collins doscoll@iu.edu | @artbyyay

Mental health is a topic brought to the light more often in recent years. In my experience, I’ve noticed some communities are more open to this idea than others.

Growing up, mental health wasn’t discussed as much as it is today in the Black community. I was not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder until I was 15 and, for a long time, I was told I didn’t have it despite having a huge suspicion that I did.

Common traits of ADHD include being inattentive, easily distracted, forgetful and or hyperactive, according to the National Health Service in the UK. People with ADHD can have trouble sitting still, fidgeting or talking excessively. While this is not always the case, people with ADHD may often have

other conditions like anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, autism spectrum disorder or epilepsy.

“As ADHD is a developmental disorder, it’s believed it cannot develop in adults,the NHS said on their website. “But it’s known that symptoms of ADHD often persist from childhood into adulthood.”

This information doesn’t stop the public from having an impression that ADHD is not a real disorder, much like other mental illnesses, such as depression or anxiety.

Depression is a common and serious medical illness, which can negatively affect how you feel, the way you think and how you act. There are various types of depression ranging in duration, cause and severity, according to the American Psychiatric Association.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-

vention, the percentage of adults who experienced any symptoms of depression was highest among those aged 18 to 29 at 21%. People aged 30 to 44 are at 16.8%, 45 to 64 follow with 18.4% and 65 and over are at 18.4%.

The data also shows that Non-Hispanic Black and Non-Hispanic white individuals were more likely to have mild, moderate and severe cases of depression compared to Non-Hispanic Asian adults.

Personally, my blackness and depression are intertwined. Certain events in society trigger depressive episodes. When I was younger I suffered in silence it took me attempting suicide 3 times for me to reach out for help. Afterwards, I was dismissed and told I was “too young to be depressed” and taunted that I was “too selfish to kill myself.” Nevermind the fact that there were days I held off an

attempt because my brother had a bad day and it would be messed up for him to find me dead in the bathtub on a “bad day.”As if there was a good day for my family to find me dead. Years later, for me it was watching my friend Dreasjon Reed get murdered

by IMPD by finding out about his death through the Shaderoom. Then just weeks later watching an officer kneel on George Floyd’s neck and his death go viral. Or the hangings scattered all over the country that are being ruled a suicides despite evidence pointing otherwise. Between racism and its trending boldness and the ever persistent struggle of being a woman along with it, being a black woman is both a gift and at times depressing.

According to the Psychiatry Department of Columbia University, as the Black community struggles to overcome the stigma of mental health,

it is harder to get help despite being 20% more likely to have serious mental health problems, including major depressive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information found that 63% of Black people believe a mental health condition is a sign of personal weakness. This thought process adds to a list of barriers standing in the way of the Black community and obtaining mental health care.

In sports, Naomi Osaka recently made headlines when she spoke about her depression. Before the 2021 French Open, Osaka announced she would not participate in any post-match news conferences because she wanted to protect her mental health. Osaka said the reporters’ questions sometimes put doubts in her mind.

This decision was heavily criticized on social media

with some calling the 23-yearold superstar unprofessional.

For me, it was inspiring to see a Black athlete come out and stand up for mental health with other Black athletes supporting her on social media.

We have to take mental health seriously. We’re only hindering our own community instead of helping it.

With the addition of existing baggage, such as racism and sexism, we deserve to give ourselves the time to process and heal.

The gift of having someone to talk to, such as peers and therapists, as well as being able to uplift your mental state, can make you healthier.

With all we go through on a daily basis, we as a community should allow our people to get the help they need without discrimation or stigma.

Our mental health is just as vital to our survival as physical health.

Black representation in corporate leadership is lacking

By Jason Mbwa-Mboma jmbwambo@iu.edu

Between June 2018 and July 2020, the percentage of Black men on Fortune 500 boards fell by 1.5%, according to Deloitte’s Missing Pieces Report.

Black representation in corporate leadership roles has historically been underwhelming with corporations being more frequently pressured to publicly embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

After the public outcry following the tragic murder of George Floyd, Black representation on corporate boards saw an aggressive increase. Between July 2020 and May 2021, 32% of the newly appointed board

members of Fortune 500 companies were Black, according to Deloitte’s Missing Pieces Report. This 32% reflected a 21% jump from the previous year, where Black people only represented 11% of the newly appointed board members.

While this data is promising for increased Black representation in corporations, it is important to take a look at context and understand the overarching trends before making any conclusions.

The questions remain of whether these efforts are genuine or symbolic for improved public perception.

Genuine or not, material progress in certain areas has certainly been made, but from a cumulative stand-

point, the lack of Black representation in corporate leadership has barely improved.

Cumulatively, Black men lost Fortune 500 board seats

in 2020, regardless of the increase in their portion of new board appointments. There are only four Black CEOs among all Fortune 500 companies, according to Yahoo Finance.

This reflects the historic dominance of white men in corporate leadership and just how much progress is needed for any material changes in the composition of these corporate boards.

One example of an underlying contributing factor behind delayed progress is the concentration of Black people who receive board of director seats.

According to Deloitte, little over two of every five Fortune 500 board seats held by a Black person is held by one

who serves on multiple Fortune 500 boards. This means that the same Black professionals keep receiving the open board seats. So while this does contribute needed diversity to corporate boards, it still leaves Black people as the minority overall on corporate boards.

There is some promising yearly data, but it is paramount to consider the contextual evidence as to why, cumulatively, representation is improving so slowly. Black people still only hold 8.7% of all Fortune 500 Board seats, compared to 82.5% held by white directors.

To make material progress, there will need to be sustained genuine efforts at correcting the deficits of Black

representation in corporate leadership roles. This lack of representation is a product of systemic injustices, which accordingly requires systemic attention for a material impact to be made.

Artists are Black until no longer needed

By Stefan Townes sztownes@iu.edu

I was excited to watch Taika Waititi’s new show “Reservation Dogs,” which is a show about young Native Americans hoping to escape from their reservation and go to California. After I watched a few episodes, I was sorely disappointed. Another new breakthrough of representation in television left me disappointed yet again.

The story works, the actors are convincing and it’s a story not often shown on television. However, after seeing Blackness be the butt of the joke too many times, I had to turn it off.

What bothered me was a series of stereotypes.

There was a Black character used as the comedic victim of a crime, characters making a mockery of gang culture with references to crips and bloods and making a character’s deadbeat dad a caricature of stereotypical Blackness, adorned with gold chains with aspirations of being a rapper. Eventually, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

The trailers and press coverage stress that the show is revolutionary, ushering in long overdue representation of Native Americans to television.

I agree such representation is needed. It’s incredibly important for shows like this to exist, but does it need to be at the expense of Blackness?

The show reminded me of other similar instances in film and music.

I remember being excited in the lead up to the 2018 film “Crazy Rich Asians.” It was clearly making a statement about the state of Asian representation in popular media. The film was important for the conversation it sparked.

Nevertheless, I and many others were disappointed with the actor Awkwafina, whose real name is Nora Lum. In the film, she plays a character who essentially makes a mockery of Black people, adopting what’s been dubbed a “Blaccent.”

Lum also had success making viral rap videos, mimicking Blackness in those

projects.

Recently, she’s distanced herself from that act, choosing to focus on writing for her new show on Comedy Central, “Awkwafina is Nora from Queens.”

Similarly, there was the case of rapper Lil Dicky who went viral for his humorous rap videos.

These videos were full of the standard fare: fancy cars, lavish settings, loud music and women dancing.

At the center of it was Lil Dicky, a white Jewish man who admittedly doesn’t fit in with the rap scene, created by Black artists in New York City in the 1970s.

He’s said in interviews his rap career was meant to make a name for himself before moving to writing

for film and television.

He also said he wants to be someone who’s a “normal dude when it comes to rap” in a separate interview — one can only assume “normal” to mean his upper middle-class white background since he couldn’t relate to rappers like Nas, who lived a tough life around crime.

I think it’s fair to say he saw that he could stand out as a white man in an overtly Black scene and used the opportunity for personal gain. Now, he has a show on Hulu.

There are plenty more examples. Think of Miley Cyrus, going through her phase of provocative performances and suddenly changing her entire style to

emulate Blackness.

However, seeing the same situation come from a fellow marginalized person, instead of a white person, makes the conversation different.

When everyone else is celebrating to see an allAsian cast in a film, a Jewish man leading a television show or young Native Americans star in a new series, I’m left to wonder if such achievements are worth using Blackness as a stepping stone.

Representation of these groups matter, and we should celebrate progress.

If it’s at the expense of my culture and people, I can’t say I’ll be cheering as loud as everyone else.

Ithad a booth run by board member Margie Schrader to reach out to writers.

“It feels nice to be out for a positive reason,” Schrader said.

Another organization, Monroe History Center, chronicles and shares local history and had a booth run by education manager Andrea Hadsell.

“Pridefest has always been an opportunity for people in the community to get together and celebrate their joyous moments,” Hadsell said.

One festival goer, Anoosha Sri, shared that while it was not her first time at Pridefest, it was her first time experiencing a drag show and was very happy with the performances.

“In terms of morale, it really was something that the community needed to remind everyone that there is a place for you,” Sri said.

officers and community service specialists.

Some of the concerns surrounded a lack of competitive salary, issues with hiring and retention, and the use of community service specialists during the BPD budget conversations. Multiple council members questioned the need for additional community service specialists when the quota for sworn officers hasn’t been met.

“In my mind, the crux of the issue is the number of officers are active and able to serve our community,” Smith said. “It worries me that the stress in the system that right now the officers are doing mandatory overtime and they don’t seem to have enough staff.”

No council members signaled their support for the police budget request. Five council members abstained from the recommendation vote and three voted no.

Drag performer Arachna performs at Pridefest on Aug. 28, 2021, on Kirkwood Avenue in Bloomington. The event, hosted by Bloomington PRIDE, included two drag shows with local performers.

Economic and Sustainable Development Department Director Alex Crowley proposed a $1.1 million total budget for the department, a 48% decrease from 2021.

Crowley said the proposed budget funds arts and culture venues, sustainable development, business relations and development and major economic development projects.

“We will only double down and reinvest in programs that are proving successful,” Crowley said.

The budget decrease largely comes from a lack of funding the department received the year prior. This funding was a part of the city’s “Recover Forward” initiative.

The request was met with oppo-

sition on the council. Five members voted against it. Three council members signaled support for the budget request, with one abstention.

Human Resources Department The Human Resources Department requested almost $883,000 for 2022, a 14% increase from 2020.

The administration is implementing paid family medical leave and a cost of living adjustment for all employees in the department. The department said this will cost almost $750,000.

Employee training software would require more than $135,000 and supplies an estimated $2,360.

Three members of the council voted yes, five members abstained, with councilmember Stephen Volan being the only “no” vote.

Bloomington Transit Bloomington Transit is requesting a 4% increase from last year’s budget, resulting in $15.1 million for the 2022 fiscal year.

General Manager Lew May’s presentation addressed the department's goals, including developments in climate change and the environment by replacing four current hybrid buses with electric buses, customer service and small capital projects.

Part of Bloomington Transit's budget request was a more than $6.5 million appropriation for staff. This includes salaries for employees, as well as benefits.

The budget was largely supported, with Council members Matt Flaherty and Kate Rosenbarger abstaining.

Parks and Recreation Department Director Paula McDevitt requested a 15% increase in funding, totaling

$9.7 million.

Additional funding would be allocated toward community relations improvements, department operations, landscaping, maintenance of cemeteries, urban forestry maintenance, natural resources, Banneker Community Center operation and community events.

The council signaled some disagreement on the budget. Four members voted yes, with Volan, Rosenbarger and council member Matt Flaherty voting no and council member Dave Rollo and council member Isabel Piedmont-Smith abstaining.

City Council Office The City Council Office requested a total of $1.3 million, a 22% decrease from last year. The decrease largely comes from the defunding for a onetime program that was part of the city’s ‘Recover Forward’ initiative.

The budget goals presented by council administrator and attorney Stephen Lucas included improvements to department organization, continuing to use Zoom and purchasing document management software.

Lucas suggested funding ways to make the council documents easier to access and improved policy coordination between the council and the Office of the Mayor.

Lucas said approximately $317,000 would go to some of the current, standing council committees.

Lucas said another goal for the department in the new fiscal year is to be more cooperative and transparent with residents.

The vote on the 2022 proposed city council budget gained the favor of a majority of council members with two abstaining and councilmember Kate Rosenbarger voting no.

Bloomington Playwrights Project returns to live shows

By Curren Gauss curgauss@iu.edu | @currenegauss

Bloomington Playwrights Project announced its 202122 season Aug. 29. This year’s lineup will include their first in-person performance in two years.

The non-profit organization focuses solely on premiering and workshopping new plays. From musicals to traditional plays to virtual theater, focusing mostly on new theater productions.

This season, BPP will once again host in-person theater in the Ted Jones Playhouse. Their show “Just Between the All of Us” will be their first non-virtual show since the start of the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020. Here are all the shows, both online and inperson, that the company will be hosting this season.

7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 to 30: “Manhunt II” “Manhunt II” is a sequel to the 2020 season performance of “Manhunt.” This online murder-mystery show will be a virtual experience to challenge audiences in solving the case of missing agent, Detective Malcolm Hughes, played by Marcus Kearns.

Produced by Artistic Director Chad Rabinovitz, “Manhunt II” is a mystery performance that puts the show’s ending in the audience’s hands.

Dec. 8 to 18, 7:30 p.m.: “Just Between the All of Us” This musical rom-com ends the 2021 season and is the theater company’s first in-person show since 2019.

This production is another opportunity for audience participation in a “choose your own adventure” style. Not only does the plot change with audience choices, but so do the songs.

Feb. 4 to 19, 7:30 p.m.: “Modern” The organization’s first show of 2022 will be “Modern,” a musical drama following the Amish comingof-age ritual known as Rumspringa. Amish teenagers are given the choice at 18-years-old to either join modern civilization or to be baptized and dedicate their lives to the Amish way.

The production displays the teens’ struggle with their newfound freedom during their Rumspringa, and the life-changing choices that come with it.

March 25 to April 9, 7:30 p.m.: “Heist” This production will be adorning the classic theater genre of the heist, a farcical convention playing with comedy and drama to create hybrid piece of theater.

A plot summary will be

available on Bloomington Playwrights Project’s website when the play is finished.

May 13 to 28, 7:30 p.m.: “Tell Me I’m Not Crazy” Rounding out the season is a comedy directed by IU professor Jonathan Michaelsen.

Focused around a family grappling with their father

purchasing a firearm, “Tell Me I’m Not Crazy” takes American conventions of gun safety and warps it with comedic elements throughout the performance.

In addition to these shows, Bloomington Playwrights Project will also hold their annual fundraisers, “The PlayOffs” and “BPP’s Chopped: A New Play Gourmet.”

NOAH’S NICHE

Art is more complicated than “good” or “bad” Noah Moore (he/him) is a junior studying psychology, theatre and drama and international studies.

The album of the summer or an album to forget?

A brilliant retelling of an old English fable or contrived artsy garbage?

Kanye West’s album “Donda” was finally released Sunday morning after a long-winding series of faux release dates and random delays — though nobody knows whether it will even remain as-is. Its release has spurred yet another iteration of the neverending conversation that plagues every major artist’s newest project: is it good or bad?

Every other TikTok comment section and Twitter thread seems to be flooded with “Donda mid,” i.e. mediocre or bad, and “Donda 10/10,” and for what? It’s largely fruitless to debate the merits with those locked into their opinions anyway, but regardless, the worth of an album — or any other piece of art — is measured subjectively.

Nobody can listen to your favorite album with the same ears as you. Even other people with sentimental attachments to The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds” won’t hear the album with my exact memories of quiet early morning bus rides in early high school. Nobody

else watching the live action 2002 “Scooby-Doo” movie will have my precise memories of wearing out my parents’ DVR with repeat viewings in elementary school. I hope.

And that’s okay.

Art is valuable to us for our own reasons sometimes.

Most everyone has lived the experience of showing their friend your favorite movie only for them to think that it’s… fine. Or — through no fault of your own — you were that friend once.

Even disregarding sentimentality, we all value art in different ways. One person may have loved the recently released A24 movie “The Green Knight” for its cinematography and for Dev Patel’s captivating… performance, just as another person hated it for its slow pace.

Neither of those people are wrong.

However, personal enjoyment or lack thereof cannot inform all your thoughts on art. Often its value in wider society can get lost in the focus on oneself. Artists like Frida Kahlo and Francisco Goya produced art that reflected their worlds, and that value can easily be underestimated by those who don’t share the societal context.

And while it is important to understand broader con-

text and popular thought on art, don’t let that preoccupy you.

This past decade has seen the rise of a trend that has proved a rather mixed bag for art discourse, and that’s the rise of pop critics like Anthony Fantano and accessible art critique platforms like Letterboxd and Rate Your Music. For every great, under-the-radar album or movie these sites help you find, you’ll also find one just as acclaimed that simply isn’t for you.

That doesn’t make either “good” or “bad.”

Sometimes it feels like egocentric consumers forget that everyone experiences art differently.

Whatever you do or don’t get out of “Donda,” or “Solar Power,” or “Whole Lotta Red,” please don’t preoc-

cupy yourself with what others think of the art itself.

Rate Your Music is not omniscient. There is rarely an inarguable opinion.

Don’t misunderstand me — I’m not advocating for the end of thoughtful and critical conversations about art and media. I’m just exhausted by those who confuse their enjoyment for enlightenment.

The legendary film critic Roger Ebert once said, “Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.” Just don’t forget to engage critically with your own perspective.

Nearly all art will mean something to somebody, and that thought merits continual self-reflection. noemoore@iu.edu

Limestone comedy festival to start Thursday

By Alexis Lindenmayer lindena@iu.edu | @lexilindenmayer

The Limestone Comedy Festival will be, Sept. 2-4, featuring 60 different comedians and performers from around the country..

After the first festival in 2013, Limestone director and co-founder Jared Thompson said he heard many comedians describe the event as the greatest weekend of their lives. Nine years later, he said the festival is a staple of Bloomington as it advertises itself as ‘The Greatest Weekend of Your Life Volume VIII.’” “I came up with that as a tagline for us,” Thompson said.

“There’s also legitimate testimonials from people who say that it’s their favorite weekend of the year and it’s the most fun that they have in a year.”

The majority of the acts booked for last year’s festival are still performing this year since the festival had no 2021 submission process. Thompson said this lineup is just as good, if not better than what they would have had in 2020. He said he is also proud of the diversity in this lineup.

“When you have a 45-to-60 comedian palette to work with, you can really take a lot of liberty and make sure everyone is represented on stage,” Thompson said.

“Limestone has all different styles, all different walks of life, all different races and genders and that’s really the way it should be everywhere.”

Throughout the weekend, comedians will perform in multiple venues, including the Comedy Attic, Buskirk-Chumley Theater, the Bishop, the Backdoor and the Blockhouse. All venues are 21 and over, except for the Comedy Attic and the Buskirk-Chumley Theater

which are 18 and over.

“Different venues keep us flexible with that festival mindset,” Limestone director Dwight Simmons said. “The other nice thing is that all the venues are in a one-totwo block radius, so it’s really easy to hop from one show to the next show.”

The schedule and all the performers are found on the Limestone Comedy Festival website.

People planning on attending the festival need to provide proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within the past 72 hours, Limestone director and co-founder Mat Alano-Martin said. Masks will also be required at all venues.

“It’s gonna feel good to finally do this in a safe, controlled way,” Alano-Martin said. “And to still have fun and have some laughs that everybody needs right now.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 festival was pushed back three times and eventually canceled, Alano-Martin said. This year’s festival was pushed back until September to give people time to get vaccinated, he said.

To attend, people can purchase VIP or Verified Very Incredibly Important Party Person badges. These badges allow entry to all venues and acts with some added perks like autographed posters or brunch with some of the performers.

People can also purchase a three-day badge for entry to all events for the duration of the festival or a Friday and Saturday badge for entry to events on those days.

This year, Alano-Martin said the festival is also selling tickets for individual shows. If venues are not completely filled, tickets will also be sold at the door.

ALEX’S ARTS ANALYSIS

What could be next in the never-ending Truly flavors?

Alex Hardgrave (she/her) is a senior studying journalism and English.

The flavored-alcohol brand Truly Hard Seltzer burst onto the scene during the seltzer craze of 2016. Since then, the company has come out with new flavor packs nonstop, including a berry, citrus and tropical variety pack.

Every time I go to the store, I feel like I see something new to try. Truly now includes seltzer versions of drinks like lemonade, iced tea and fruit punch, which is my personal favorite.

Here are my three predictions — or suggestions if anyone with Truly ever sees this — of the next flavor pack to come. These have not been announced by Truly, but I hope they’re available to purchase some day.

Beer Variety Pack Bud Light now has a line of hard seltzers for those who dislike beer, I predict Truly will find itself coming full circle with a beer variety pack. The four new flavors will check all the boxes for beer lovers, including: Pale Ale: This light beer will include overtones of wheat, with the signature subtle ale aftertaste. Perfect for sipping and it doesn’t feel too heavy.

India Pale Ale: This darker beer is packed with hops that every craft brewery stan will appreciate.

Sour Ale: This ale will make you pucker your lips. With citrus aftertaste, this drink will be unexpected and likely to become a quick fan favorite.

Stout: This dark beer is for the Guinness lover in your life. With deep, rich and chocolatey notes, the pack would not be complete without a stout.

Fall and Winter Variety Pack I think Truly, and seltzers in general, have cemented

ILLUSTRATION BY DONYÁ COLLINS

themselves in summer vibes as they are light and refreshing. If Truly is truly trying to break into every market, they must also add a fall and winter-flavored variety pack to their lineup.

This pack would include the flavors: Cranberry: Reminding you of the perfect turkey garnish, or just your go-to vodkacranberry drink, this seltzer will be tart and flavorful.

Apple Cider: Just to be clear, this wouldn’t be a cider, but instead a seltzer that will deliver all the warm, cinnamon-y goodness you expect.

Peppermint: A less-sweet flavor in the pack, this would provide a punch of peppermint to taste like the candy canes hanging from your Christmas tree.

Pumpkin Spice Latte: Popularized by Starbucks and a

2010’s staple, this pack would not be complete without a flavor tasting like pumpkin pie and a warm latte.

Floral Variety Pack I don’t know if you’ve ever had lavender or rose flavors added to a coffee, tea or baked goods, but it’s *chef’s kiss*. I propose Truly get in on “florally” flavors with a variety pack including:

Lavender: This sweet and relaxing flavor will be fragrant and delicious. Perfect for the lavender coffee lover in your life.

a hint of floral that you can both smell and taste. It will be like snacking on a macaron throughout the streets of Paris.

Honeysuckle: This seltzer will taste like an exquisite wildflower. The natural honeysuckle flavor will remind you of those warm, sweet, spring childhood days.

Chamomile: This calming flower will give you the taste and feeling of yaour favorite bedtime teas. Cracking open a chamomile Truly will offer the perfect blend of fun and relaxation.

Rose: This light and aromatic flavor will offer just

'Big boy ball'

By Luke Christopher Norton No. 17 IU football will travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to take on No. 18 Iowa this Saturday, and it will do so with new defensive coordinator Charlton Warren, who is anxious to see how the team’s defense will play in its first game under his stewardship.

“As any coach you’re eager to see them go out there with live bullets, and everything counts,” Warren said in a press conference Monday.

Iowa junior quarterback Spencer Petras threw four touchdown passes and five interceptions in Iowa’s first six games in 2020, but he also threw five touchdowns and no interceptions in the team’s last two games against Illinois and Wisconsin. Warren said Petras will be better in his second year with greater understanding of the Hawkeyes’ system.

The Hawkeyes ranked second in the Big Ten in points per game in 2020 with 31.4. However, they have production to replace after losing five offensive

starters in the offseason. 2020-starting left tackle Alaric Jackson, guard Cole Banwart and tackle Mark Kallenberger are no longer with the team.

To make matters worse for the Hawkeyes’ offensive line, senior guard Kyler Schott broke his right foot baling hay on his family’s farm. Schott was listed as the team’s starting right guard following spring practice.

Beyond the offensive line, the team’s two leading wide receivers in 2020, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Brandon Smith, both left the Hawkeyes for the NFL this offseason. The team’s leading receiver in 2020, junior tight end Sam LaPorta, will start for Iowa Saturday.

Junior running back Tyler Goodson led Iowa with 762 rushing yards in 2020. He also recorded 124 yards receiving.

Warren said the Hawkeyes utilize their tight ends and running backs well in multiple personnel packages while

trying to break a defense’s will, but he believes IU understands that challenge.

“You’re going to have to play some big boy ball,” Warren said.

IU’s defensive line lost some of its depth following the 2020 season, but went to the transfer portal to add graduate student Ryder Anderson, who helped defeat IU in last season’s Outback Bowl with the University of Mississippi. The Hoosiers also added junior Jaren Handy from Auburn University, a cousin of senior wide receiver Ty Fryfogle.

Warren praised defensive line coach Kevin Peoples’ work with the line as a whole, particularly with coming off of the ball, technique, fundamentals and mindset against a team like Iowa, which won six straight games to end its season in 2020.

The Hoosiers’ defensive line will need to overcome Iowa junior center Tyler Linderbaum, a Rimington trophy finalist last season and preseason

first-team All-American by Phil Steele.

Warren described Linderbaum as the anchor of Iowa’s offensive line.

One of the main focuses of IU’s defense is takeaways, Warren said. The Hoosiers, who led the Big Ten in interceptions last season with 17, return every member of its secondary except for safety Jamar Johnson.

“The ball’s gotta be taken away from that team — they’re not going to give it away to us,” Warren said.

Junior cornerback Tiawan Mullen said getting takeaways is all about making the plays when they come your way and not stepping on the toes of fellow defensive backs.

“It’s all about doing your job, you know — not trying to be Superman on the field,” Mullen said.

IU will face Iowa at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. The game will air on Big Ten Network on T.V. and over the radio and online on WIUX.

The Other Sideline is a new weekly segment where the Indiana Daily Student interviews a student reporter from IU football’s weekend opponent. The questions and answers have been edited for clarity and brevity.

No. 17 IU football’s 2021 season begins Saturday with a top-20 matchup against a Big Ten opponent for the first time in program history.

No. 18 Iowa is coming off a season where it finished 6-2, its eighth consecutive winning season. IU has lost three consecutive games to Iowa dating back to 2012 and hasn’t won in Iowa City since 2007.

Ahead of the season opener, the Indiana Daily Student talked to Robert Read of the Daily Iowan to preview what the matchup may look like.

IDS: How is Iowa balancing expectations headed into this year?

Read: The big talk, especially toward the end of last season, was Iowa started off last year 0-2. Then they rattled off six straight victories to end the regular season and didn’t get to play their final two games because of COVID-19 related things with their opponent.

By the end of last season, Iowa was legitimately one of the hottest teams in the country, and head coach Kirk Ferentz and some of the players have been asked this offseason: How do you continue that hot streak and replicate the success from the end of last season? Kirk keeps hammering home that we can say we’re going to do this and this like last season, but this is a new group of guys.

This isn’t the 2020 team, it's the 2021 team. For the most part, they really do have a good chunk of starters and key contributors to last season's team back, but it’s just plugging the holes a little bit and seeing what works.

IDS: Where do Iowa’s strengths and weaknesses lie?

Read: On offense, it’s going to be the running game. Part of that is Tyler Goodson, first-team All-Big Ten running back last year in his first full season of being the main guy. That’s not to say Iowa won’t have other guys touching the ball in the backfield, but Goodson is still the pretty clear No. 1 guy.

In the first media availability this spring, a reporter was talking to him about goals for this upcoming season and it took him about half a second to say he has his eyes on the Doak Walker Award. He thinks he’s the best running back in the country and he’s looking to prove it.

Going to a defensive strength, I’ve never seen a team return five starters in the secondary, but that’s what Iowa’s doing.

That should really be a strength for Iowa, and with the starters they also have tremendous depth.

2.

3.

Get to know No. 18 Iowa

QB: No. 7 Spencer Petras, RB: No. 15 Tyler Goodson, WR: No. 3 Tyrone Tracy Jr., No. 9 Nico Ragaini, No. 16 Charlie Jones, TE: No. 84 Sam LaPorta, LT: No. 79 Jack Plumb, LG: No. 73 Cody Ince, C: No. Tyler Linderbaum, RG: No. 63 Justin Britt, RT: No. 56 Nick DeJong

IDS: What does IU have to do to beat Iowa?

Read: There was a significant difference in Iowa’s games last year when they were able to be successful rushing the ball with Goodson versus when they tried to air it out. If Iowa can establish Goodson and with the new look offensive line establish the line of scrimmage and allow junior quarterback Spencer Petras to ease into the game, that’s where you’re going to see Iowa really start to be successful on offense.

IDS: This is only the second time these teams have been ranked when they played, how is Iowa viewing the matchup?

Read: At Big Ten Media Days, IU head coach Tom Allen, in typical form, seemed very enthusiastic and said “we’re just going to play anyone that’s in front of us.”

Kirk, it’s not that he isn’t prepared or isn’t enthusiastic about playing a great team to start the season, but he’s been on record saying that Iowa isn’t always at its sharpest at the beginning of the season, even in their really good years. Iowa typically progresses as the season goes on, much like we saw last year, so it’s going to be interesting to see with elite competition at the start of the year how they battle that.

IDS: What’s your final score prediction for Saturday?

Read: I’ll go Iowa 27, IU 21.

MEN’S SOCCER

FIELD HOCKEY

IU men’s soccer beats Butler 1–0 IU field hockey

By Amanda Foster amakfost@iu.edu | @amandafoster_15

IU men’s soccer’s return to Bill Armstrong Stadium ended in a 1-0 victory against Butler, but the beginning closely resembled that of IU’s offense-heavy matchup against the University of Notre Dame on Friday.

Butler dominated possession, marking two shots on goal even before the five minute mark. The Hoosier defense had little control over the ball, letting multiple balls through for junior goalie Roman Celentano to save.

The Bulldogs continued to control all areas of play until the Hoosiers’ first two shots in the 25th minute from junior forward Maouloune Goumballe. From that point on, IU’s offense came to life, and the Hoosiers had eight more shots than the Bulldogs.

“I thought we dealt with some [problems] pretty well,” Yeagley said. “Our ability to use some players in some different roles tonight, I think we were able to kind of weather the storm a little bit.”

The Hoosiers racked up shots as they increased the pressure on the Bulldog defense, leading up to a goal in the 29th minute. Senior defender Spencer Glass took a free kick that went through multiple kicks, headers and rebounds off the post before it fell to sophomore defend-

er Joey Maher. Maher seized it, rocketing the ball into the bottom right of the goal.

“Joey plays so much older,” Yeagley said. “He’s mature. I thought his decisions on his functional clearing, when to use the right kind of club to do well, was really good tonight.”

Going into halftime, Butler’s last shot was in the 22nd minute. The lack of offensive production in the remainder of the half paved the way for IU to put up a total of seven shots.

Maher said in a postgame press conference he thought players like freshman midfielder Patrick McDonald and junior defender Brett Bebej were key in challenging the Bulldogs.

Junior forward Victor Bezerra, redshirt junior forward Ryan Wittenbrink and redshirt senior midfielder Joe Schmidt were not listed in the starting XI and did not appear in the match, but Yeagley said he could see all three returning in the upcoming weekend matches.

The Hoosiers kept the momentum entering the second half, keeping the Bulldogs from getting close to the goal. Instead, IU continued to attack the Butler defense. Goumballe notched his third shot in the 49th minute.

In the 67th minute, the crowd was left on edge after a free kick from Butler turned into a replay review.

the goal line before sophomore defender Lawson Redmon cleared it.

The VAR review upheld the initial call of a team save

by IU, and despite some last-minute attempts from the Bulldogs, the game finished 1-0.

“It was a good performance. I thought the back line was very solid,” Maher said. “I’m very fortunate to be playing next to those guys.”

Tommy Mihalic, the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, led the way for the Hoosier offense with five of 15 shots, and Goumballe followed with four, in-

cluding two shots on goal.

Goumballe was a force on the field, testing the Butler defense with quick passes and tricky footwork down the field.

The Bulldogs were held to seven shots and three shots on goal in the 90 minute game. The only two Hoosier saves came from the first five minutes of play.

“A lot of little good moments,” Yeagley said. “But we’re going to learn a lot from this game. This is a game that we did get exposed to some things, and these are the games you need.”

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8 — Test theories before committing resources.

Review the data. Study and investigate. What you uncover may not be pretty. Increase structural integrity to advance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7 — Coordinate actions with your partner. Patience, powerful listening and humor can defuse a heated situation. Keep a dream alive, despite setbacks.

Support each other.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8 — Collaborate on shared objectives. Devote yourself to practical financial priorities.

Energize to cover the basics. You can find what you need. Work together.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8 — Your work is in demand. Slow to navigate the tricky sections. Keep your cool and document your moves. Stretch and practice the basics.

The IU field hockey team started its 2021 campaign with a 3-2 win Friday afternoon on the road against Central Michigan University.

IU scored their first goal in 36 seconds. Freshman midfielder Kira Curland corralled the rebound after a shot on goal and scored her first career goal, giving IU the early lead.

In the opening minutes in the second period, IU was issued a green card leaving Central Michigan with a man advantage. Central Michigan’s freshman forward Kaitlyn Bowker scored from 2 yards out to even up the game.

The Hoosiers scored again soon after. A goal in the 28th minute by freshman midfielder Sofia Arrebola Garci put the Hoosiers back ahead with a 2-1 lead.

Central Michigan would eventually answer with a goal to tie the game up at 2-2 and put the pressure back on IU. A goal by IU senior forward Hailey Couch would prove to be the game-winning goal because IU’s defense did not allow another shot on goal for the rest of the game.

This was Couch’s first

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 — You may discover barriers to romance.

Misunderstandings abound. Don’t get pushy; patience and charm scores highest overall. Relax and have fun, as is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 — Take practical steps to advance a creative project.

Craft strong bones to hang your case on. Don’t present unfinished work. Articulate dreams, visions and possibilities.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 — Dedication fulfills a domestic dream. Plan your moves before committing. Measure before cutting. Harmony may require effort. Plan your inspiring vision and research options.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 7 — Costs may be higher than expected. Don’t drain reserves. Simplify plans. Slow to avoid mistakes. You can get what you need. Make detailed arrangements.

game back after taking last season off due to health and safety concerns regarding COVID-19, and IU head coach Kayla Bashore talked about how this team gets better with Couch back on the pitch.

“I think she did a great job on the press and played her role by bringing her intensity to the defensive end,” Bashore said. “Having her back only makes us that much more threatening.”

In the end, the Hoosier’s offensive output was too much for the Chippewas.

The Hoosiers recorded 18 shots with 13 shots on goal.

A hard-fought win gave IU momentum going into Saturday's matchup against Davidson University.

IU opened the scoring early again. Just over two minutes into the game, redshirt sophomore back Sydney Keld fired a shot that bounced in off the corner of the goal for an IU early advantage.

Freshman forward Kayla Kiwak added to the lead in the second period to extend the IU lead to 2-0. Curland joined in on the scoring in the third period with an assist from Keld to bring the Hoosiers’ lead to 3-0.

As the third period was coming to a close, freshman Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 7 — Imagine the potential. Journal your dreams, visions and possibilities.

Devote yourself to a personal goal. Clean messes or resolve miscommunications. Take one step after another.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7 — Give in to cravings for peaceful privacy. Listen to your muses. Creativity ripples beneath the surface. Make a spiritual connection. Savor music, nature and beauty. © 2020 By Nancy Black Distributed by Tribune Media Services, INC. All Rights Reserved

midfielder Maggie Carter added to the Hoosier lead on an assist from senior midfielder Mary Kate Kesler to open up the lead to 4-0 for the Hoosiers.

Hoosiers goalkeeper Shannon McNally denied four Wildcat opportunities throughout the game to complete the shutout and the Hoosiers were victorious in a convincing 4-0 win over the Wildcats.

“It was a nice way to start the season, of course with the results, but the thing we are looking for are the things that are leading to the re-

sults,” Bashore said. “Our structure in our press, our movement in our outletting, really working on our defensive structure so that we could generate attacking opportunities.”

The Hoosiers saw six different players score over the weekend, including five goals that came off of an assist.

“It demonstrates that we aren’t relying on one person to score goals,” Bashore said.

We have scoring threats all over the field. We are scoring corner goals or field goals, so continuing that into next

week will be key for us.”

IU looks to keep the momentum going into Friday’s matchup against the reigning Mid-American Conference champions, Miami University. The matchup takes place at 2 p.m. in Oxford, Ohio.
