A "brave new world" of dark magic, young love, family rivalry and pitiful drunkards, William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is one of Shakespeare's most performed productions. The production was the 29th annual Shakespeare in the Park. The Monroe County Civic Theater production of “The Tempest” premiered May 31 at Harmony School. Shakespeare’s romantic tragicomedy, usually considered his final solo work, follows Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan, who uses his magical powers to shipwreck the culprits of his predicament on his small island and plot out his revenge. Through dark magic, drunk clowns and more, Prospero finally reunites with his old family. According to the program, the show explores what it means to be displaced and asks, “What must be overcome and left behind to move forward?” This abridged, three-hour production included an intermis-

IU community celebrates Mallory By Murphy Wheeler jonmwhee@iu.edu | @murph_wheelerIU
Floyd Keith stood on a platform on the field at Memorial Stadium, trying to do his best impression of his longtime friend and former IU football Coach Bill Mallory. In front of the crowd scattered throughout the East bleachers, Keith heightened his voice in both volume and pitch and flung his hands about with every uttered syllable. He embraced Mallory’s socalled “unique passion with the English language,” pronouncing Kentucky as ‘Tucky’ and Nebraska as ‘New-braska.’ He even broke out the move Mallory would do before he would lead his team out of the tunnel prior to games, a move Keith called the “two-step,” gyrating his legs and feet on the platform before making a running motion toward the crowd. As the laughter subsided, Keith stood behind the podium and stressed how important the opportunity to be at Mallory’s Celebration of Life ceremony was to him, after Mallory died at the age of 82 on May 25. As if the realization his friend was gone hit him all over again, Keith could only think of one thing to say. “Why the hell do I even need this paper?” Keith said, his written speech in hand. “I don’t need it because I loved the guy. I loved him. Man, I loved him.” In front of the platform, in fold-out chairs on the field, sat Mallory’s family, including his wife, Ellie; sons, Mike, Doug and Curt; and daughter, Barbara. They sat smiling, despite being just a few hours removed from Mallory’s memorial service at the First United Methodist Church in Bloomington. This was a time of reminiscing, of celebration. Keith, a former assistant coach for Mallory at three out of his four head coaching stops during Mallory’s career at Miami (OH), Colorado and IU, was just one of
The City of Bloomington called for a moratorium, or a temporary ban, on businesses offering treatment and services to those recovering from drug and substance abuse in a Friday press release. The measure is meant to allow Bloomington time to assess the effects and changes foisted upon the city by the increase in number of drug treatment centers. The decision, though temporary, has sparked debate from groups like the Indiana Recovery Alliance, which was blunt in a press release that said the ban would "lead to an increase in the spread of infectious disease, increased incarceration and fatal overdose." "We are in the midst of an opioid syndemic, and misguided policies such as this ordinance will ultimately deny vital services to those who are most at risk," according to the statement. "We absolutely must not allow the city to erect barriers that block access to life-saving (medication assisted therapy) treatment options." Over the past year, various treatment centers and groups have moved into the area. Indiana Center for Recovery, an abstinence-based program, opened last summer, and three other medically-assisted centers have Bloomington locations as well. A methadone clinic is also scheduled to open at the end of the month on the city's west side, near Walmart. Mary Catherine Carmichael, Bloomington's Director of Community Engagement, said in the release that the City is still grappling with the influx of businesses and how unregulated growth is affecting Bloomington. "We weren't really prepared, and we are looking at other places, other cities, and what they have done, hoping to avoid some of the troubles they encountered," Carmichael said. The request for a temporary ban on new businesses, Ordinance 1814, must first be presented to the Bloomington Plan Commission, then

Former IU assistant coach Floyd Keith shares a story about former IU football Coach Bill Mallory at Mallory’s Celebration of Life service Saturday, June 2, at Memorial Stadium.
a number of speakers that stood before the family and the crowd behind them at the ceremony Saturday. Mallory’s head coaching career, which lasted from 19691996, saw him become IU’s all-time winningest coach with 69 total wins, a member of the athletics hall-of-fames at IU, Miami (OH) and the Mid-American Conference and the first back-toback Big Ten Coach of the Year recipient in 1986 and 1987. However, as each speaker shared their own memories and thoughts on the storied coach, it was clear he was remembered as more than that. “Coach Mallory was a man of great humility,” former IU running back Anthony Thompson said, before giving an opening
prayer. “He would always put others above himself, and he walked like that and spoke like that. Coach Mallory spoke with passion and was a man of great conviction, a man that cared about each and every one of us.” The ceremony was emceed by legendary IU football and men’s basketball broadcaster Don Fischer, and featured speakers representing each of Mallory’s head coaching stops throughout his career. Speakers included Mike Poff of Miami (OH), Steve Stripling of Colorado, Vince Scott and Tim Tyrrell of Northern Illinois, and Thompson and current IU defensive line coach Mark Hagen. Meanwhile, others such as Keith were family friends who

Family members of former IU players, such as Kelly Bomba, wife of Matt Bomba, and Connor Smith, son of Chris Smith, also gave speeches. Smith even missed his own high school graduation to share a few words about Mallory. “Right about now I’d be walking across the stage, but I couldn’t care less about that,” Smith said. “I couldn’t think of any other place SEE MALLORY, PAGE 3
A man claiming to be a member of the Aryan Nation, a white nationalist group, was charged with battery and disorderly conduct after yelling out racial slurs and assaulting a man Thursday evening. The victim was waiting for his food at Pili's Party Taco truck, which was parked near Fourth and Walnut Streets. The man, Paul Farrow, walked up to the victim and punched him in the chest, and yelled a racial slur at him, saying he should go back to where he belongs. Farrow left after that incident. Bloomington Police officers later arrived and spoke with food vendors. They were able to identify Farrow after reviewing security camera footage. Police located Farrow at the Irish Lion and spoke to him there. His description perfectly matched the video and information provided by witnesses, BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said. When officers asked Farrow about the incident, he told them he was a member of the Aryan Nation. He then insulted officers with further racial epithets. While police were handcuffing Farrow and taking him out of the Irish Lion, he began yelling more racial slurs at nearby bystanders. He was then arrested for battery and disorderly conduct, and was taken to the Monroe County Correctional Center. He was not arrested for a hate crime charge as Indiana does not currently have a hate crime law. Kellams said BPD followed the standards set up by Uniform Criminal Reporting, and that the incident would have been classified as a hate crime under those guidelines. Farrow has a previous criminal record dating from 2012, when he was arrested for arson. He had been kicked out of Night Moves nightclub and set one of the dancer's car on fire.
