IU mourns academic icons Nobel Prize winner Elinor Ostrom dies of cancer at 78 BY NONA TEPPER ntepper@indiana.edu
Call her Lin. Elinor “Lin” Ostrom, 2009 Nobel Prize recipient and distinguished professor of political science, died June 12 at IU Health Bloomington Hospital. Ostrom, 78, will be remembered for her professional work, her commitment to students and her 47 years at the University. But the impact of her legacy can perhaps be summed wholly in her nickname: she will be remembered as Lin. “The thing you have to understand is everyone knew her as Lin,” Ostrom’s colleague Burnell Fischer said. “She was such an apIDS FILE PHOTO proachable, simple person, you could go and Elinor Ostrom, a professor of political science at Indiana University, became the first woman to just sit in her office for hours.” Fischer was a friend of Ostrom’s who re- be awarded the Nobel Prize for economics on Monday, Oct. 12, 2009.

Shortly after death of his wife, Vincent Ostrom dies BY JAKE NEW jakenew@indiana.edu
When Vincent Ostrom took a position at University of California-Los Angeles in the late 1950s, he likely didn’t realize that one of his Ph.D students would become the first woman to ever win the Nobel Prize in economics — or that the same woman would one day be his wife of nearly 50 years. Vincent, distinguished IU professor and the husband of Nobel Laureate Elinor “Lin” Ostrom, died on June 29, less than three weeks after his wife died of pancreatic cancer. He was 92. “Vincent’s death, especially coming so soon after his wife Lin’s passing, is an inestimable and tragic loss to the university and to the broad fields of political theory, socialscience and policy-based interdisciplinary research,” IU President Michael McRobbie said in a statement June 30. Vincent was his wife’s biggest supporter, McRobbie said, but Elinor was always quick to point out the effect her husband had on her own success. He was born Sept. 25, 1919, in Nooksack, Wash. His parents were recent immigrants from Jamtland County, Sweden. He grew up on a farm where his family domesticated minks and sold the animals’ pelts. After graduating high school, he earned a political science degree from UCLA. In 1943, while earning his M.A., Vincent began teaching at Chaffey Union High School in Ontario, Calif. It was here that he made observations that not only created a foundation for his master’s thesis, but also the work his wife would later dedicate her career to. During the two years he taught in Ontario, Vincent noticed that citrus-growing smallholders created a system of land and water rights that provided what the farmers needed to sustain the farms’ incomes. The community also created an endowment for the local high school and a planned college. In short, he realized that a group of people with common interests and needs could create their own systems and institutions to achieve complex objectives — without any outside governance. “Lin studied the way small communities were able to govern themselves, and Vincent’s understanding was really a foundation on what she was doing,” said Michael McGinnis, director of the Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis. Vincent earned his M.A. in 1945 and a
Ph.D. in 1950. He taught at the University of Wyoming and the University of Oregon before returning to UCLA as an associate professor, where he met Elinor. The couple married in 1963. A year later, he accepted a full professor position at IU. Elinor joined him as a visiting assistant professor before eventually becoming an associate professor in the department of political science. An expert on democratic governance, Vincent’s list of accomplishments is long. He pioneered work on polycentric governance, helped draft Article VIII on Natural Re- “Vincent’s death... sources of the is an inestimable Alaska Constitu- and tragic loss to tion and consulted as a member of the university.” resource man- Michael McRobbie, IU agement com- President missions in three different states. In 1973, he cofounded what some say is his most lasting legacy: the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis. The workshop brought together some of the best minds in political science and economics and encouraged a collaborative style of transdisciplinary work called the “Bloomington School.” It was at the workshop, located in a beige house off a brick street behind Collins Living-Learning Center, that Vincent proudly watched his wife accept her Nobel Prize on closed circuit television in 2009. His health and hearing were fading and, already in his late 80s, traveling to Stockholm would have proven difficult. “If he could have, he would have gone with her,” McGinnis said. “But it was so nice that he was able to watch her. I doubt he could hear her, but he could see her.” Even near the end of his life, when his caretakers brought him by the workshop, Vincent would point out Elinor’s photographs and awards on the wall. “He was just very, very proud,” McGinnis said. James Walker, an economics professor at IU who has known the Ostroms since 1986, said the respect was mutual, citing the dedication page in Elinor’s most famous book, “Governing the Commons.” “To Vincent,” it reads, “for his love and contestation.” “It tells you they had a very loving relationship but they also had one as

IU renovates campus dorms BY SYDNEY MURRAY slmurray@indiana.edu
Much of the IU campus was cluttered this summer with cones and caution tape due to new building construction and renovations. “We are ongoing, trying to make sure that we have the resources to renovate spaces that we need to but also care for them every day,” said Tom Morrison, vice president for capital planning and facilities. “It’s a beautiful campus. Everybody says it’s one of the best in the country, and we take great pride in that, and we want to maintain it.” Construction projects include an apartment complex at Third and Union streets, which will open this fall, and renovations at Briscoe Quad and Tulip Tree Apartments. Another residence hall at Rose Avenue will be complete in fall 2013, and there are also plans to renovate the Forest Quad dining hall. Although new residence halls are being built, they will not add more dorm space to campus. Briscoe is being renovated to a suite-style complex and will have room for fewer students. “The desire is to maintain the same number of residence

Former IU adjunct lecturer Uri Horesh is stuck in Indiana. After being put under arrest for disorderly conduct, battery and resisting arrest, the state has prohibited Horesh from leaving Indiana until results from his July 30 trial are in. Horesh was arrested after trying to donate blood. On June 20, Horesh arrived at the Red Cross donation site with a copy of IU’s non-discrimination policy in his pocket. He was asked to complete a questionnaire. One of the questions asked if he has had sex, even once, with another man since 1977. Horesh answered yes and was banned from donating. “This policy is very much outdated,” he said. “Asking this very outdated question is clearly some kind of caving in to some very old and homophobic prejudice.” Because Red Cross was invited to IU, Horesh thought the Bloodmobile would be subject to IU policy on sexual orientation. But Red Cross employees said there was nothing they could do. “We are definitely supportive and inclusive of all groups that want to donate,” Red Cross spokeswoman Katy Maloy said. “However, it is up to the FDA to determine our guidelines.” After Horesh was denied from donating, he then allegedly blocked the Bloodmobile door, IU Police Chief Keith Cash said. He reportedly refused to leave the Bloodmobile. A Red Cross employee threatened to scream if he didn’t move. Horesh then allegedly spat at one of the Bloodmobile employees. A Red Cross employee on site called IUPD, and Horesh was handcuffed and arrested.
“Nowhere in our policy does it say everybody has the right to give blood regardless of their sexual orientation,” IU spokesman Mark Land said. “It’s Mr. Horesh’s view. Those are his words. We’re not letting anybody come on campus and violate our campus policies. This was expected protocol. He didn’t agree with it, but it has nothing to do with discriminating against anybody.” This is not the first time Horesh has protested for LGBT rights. In 2008 he went on a hunger strike at the University of Texas, protesting the lack of same-sex partner benefits. According to an article published in the Austin Chronicle, he stopped after seven days due to “physical weakness” and “personal obligations.” Horesh then left UT in protest. He then worked at Franklin Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., as director of the Arabic program. He tried to donate blood at a Red Cross Bloodmobile that visited the college and was denied. He said all he received was a “slap on the wrist.” After Horesh was arrested at IU, he spent 24 hours in Monroe County Jail. His father bailed him out the following morning for $2,000 insurity and $500 cash. “Our primary concern is for the students,” said Tom Gieryn, vice provost for faculty and academic affairs. “We need to make sure that the events surrounding his arrest are not a distraction from teaching and learning in his classes. Students might be curious why he was arrested, or students might be concerned when they learned the nature of his behavior.” Horesh underwent a faculty review and was placed on paid leave until July 30, the day of his court date. He has

been asked to cease all communication with faculty, students and staff he met during his time at IU. “What good is a good policy if we keep violating it?” Horesh said. “If someone gets arrested along the way, it’s a small sacrifice for a better good.” Horesh said he plans to plead not guilty to the charges. Once he received his July 30 salary, Horesh said he will donate $1,000 to the IU Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Support Services. “I don’t think the director of the FDA is going to call me tomorrow and say, ‘Hey, things are going to change now because one guy in Bloomington was arrested,’” Horesh said. “I don’t know if one single action can bring about change, but I know that sitting on our asses and doing nothing is a sure way to not change anything.” Horesh is scheduled for a pre-trial conference to personally discuss his charges. Change.org, a web platform that petitions social change and empowerment, has started a petition against the District Attorney’s Office of Monroe County to “drop the homophobic charges against Uri Horesh!” As of July 27, the petition has received 542 e-signatures.

» ELINOR CONTINUED FROM PAGE A1 In May, the IU Board of Trustees renamed the workshop to honor Vincent and Elinor. She is the recipient of numerous other international awards and degrees, but despite her celebrity, McGinnis said she always treated everyone as an equal. “She just had a basic human kindness toward just about everyone,” McGinnis said. “She set a wonderful example.” In late 2011, Ostrom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Her life expectancy was then estimated at about three months. Ostrom quietly began chemotherapy treatments in November. “Some days she didn’t look as perky as other days, but other than that, she was still productive at the workshop,” Fischer said. She still found time to travel. Ostrom visited India in March and lectured in Mexico in June. She still worked with colleagues on grant applications and continued to foster discussion at the workshop. At the end, more than six months after her initial diagnosis, she was surrounded by family and friends. Vin-

Experts discuss effect of Affordable Care Act BY NONA TEPPER ntepper@indiana.edu
In December 2009, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed through the Senate. All Democrats voted in favor of this legislation, and all Republicans voted against it. The fight against ObamaCare, a term coined by the right, raged on with representatives questioning the consequences into 2012. The act attempts to change America’s health care system through a number of policy initiatives, including one that states offspring up to 26 years’ old can be covered under their parents’ health insurance. Supporters say the law is evidence of just how crucial the social safety net has become in the wake of the Great Recession, as recent graduates are struggling to find a job with benefits. Critics, on the other hand, read it as an example of government welfare run amok. The Supreme Court voted to uphold the mandate on June 28. Over the past year many large insurance companies such as Aetna, Hamas and Blue Cross Blue Shield issued statements in support of this legislation. For many young adults the prospect of paying for their own insurance was already decided: even if PPACA was ruled unconstitutional most firms would continue to cover children under 26 on their parents’ plan. The question left, then, is what are the social consequences of this law? CHANGE IN DEGREE In the late 1800s and early 1900s, a 15-year-old was considered an adult. Young
adults were independent, and the price of freedom was responsibility. Individuals were expected to earn their own way. In 1917, a high school education was ruled compulsory for all adults. The National Education Association was founded to standardize what an award of a high school degree meant. “My grandfather was considered a very high-standard person in his small town because he had a high school diploma,” IU sociology professor Fabio Rojas said. A high school diploma could earn someone the confidence to manage an entry-level position in sales or communications. Then the 1960s brought civil reform. Higher education opportunities were expanded to admit greater numbers of minorities and lower-income students. The “massification” of the education process, as termed by the American Council on Education, flooded the market with degrees. Today, 56 million Americans have earned a bachelor’s degree, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This is the highest number in U.S. history. But with educational opportunities expanded, the purpose, and perhaps social value, of a professional degree has changed. PARTY TIME The idea that adulthood advances with age has become socially accepted. Or, a longer adolescence has been embraced. “We’ve started extending the teenage years,” IU business professor Joshua Perry said. “College becomes this major party time and time for finding yourself. This extends the time, and the no-
tion, that adulthood doesn’t come on until you graduate from college.” Higher education has freed students from immediately taking on responsibility for mortgage rates, grocery bills and paying for health care after high school graduation. “You know, in the old days you went from childhood to adulthood in fewer steps,” IU law professor David Orentlicher said. “And now it’s more a gradual progression.” Some cite the job market as a reason young adults are supposedly dependent on parents. This May unemployment among college graduates was 9.4 percent, according to Economic Policy Institute. A poor economy and the expansion of higher education opportunities can be credited with this statistic. The market has been flooded with degrees, and employer demand is low. But parents’ expectations for their children have also been lowered. In 1993, a Newsweek poll found that 80 percent of parents believed children should be financially independent by the age of 22. Today, only 67 percent of parents take this view, while 31 percent said children shouldn’t have to be on their own financially until age 25 or later. Opponents of PPACA argue that letting a 26-year-old stay on their parents’ health insurance inspires apathy toward the job search. “The term ‘dependent,’ in this case, really means ‘adult child,’” said Beth Meyerson, SEE HEALTH CARE, PAGE A8
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE FORMER IU CHAPTER OF ACACIA
The IU Acacia fraternity chapter lost its charter in May for allegedly hazing and drug dealing.
Alleged hazing factored into loss of Acacia’s house BY NONA TEPPER ntepper@indiana.edu
The beginning and the end of an era were marked in early May. Acacia was founded on May 12, 1904, at the University of Michigan with the principles of virtue, wisdom and truth foremost on the founders’ minds. Sixteen years later, the fraternity was expanded to IU. The organization received its charter May 22, 1920, and members became brothers. Brothers became Acacians. But this spring marked a turn in the fraternity’s development. IU and Acacia International have announced that Indiana Acacia fraternity’s charter has be revoked. The possibility of issuing another IU charter will be reconsidered after two years, and only after current brothers have time to graduate.

prospective members. The fraternity slogan promises, “Preparing Tomorrow’s Leaders Since 1904.” But President of the Fraternity Building Corporation Matt Cairns said it was recent members who compromised these original values. “A lot of it boils down to how a chapter is organized, and it became evident that there was not a lot of accountability within the chapter,” Cairns said. Internal organization of Indiana Acacia was governed mainly by a House Council, or a group of five elected members within the house. Traditionally, these members oversaw house operations, organized brotherhood events and headed pledge education. Cairns iterated that, although not every member was responsible for hazing, drug dealing or drug use, it was clear there was a lack of overSEE ACACIA, PAGE A8

fraternity that validates the local organization, included allegations of hazing and drug dealing. But IU Assistant Dean of Students Stevan Veldkamp said the main reason Acacia, as well as other fraternities and sororities, are often kicked off campus is that their actions do not align with the values the group was based on. “Fraternities and sororities are values-based organizations that are expected to uphold their espoused values as well as those of the University,” Veldkamp said in an email. “When an organization does not act in accordance with those values and the environment does not foster a culture of care, then it should no longer be allowed the privilege of serving as a Greek organization on campus.” The mission of Acacia’s fraternity is long: Brothers are expected to pursue community service, character development, achieve academically and lead and attract

IU awards 8,829 degrees BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu
For their last time, thousands of IU students piled onto the floor or sat in rows of seating at Assembly Hall on May 4. About an hour and a half later, the same students joined the global network of more than 560,000 IU alumni. Divided into three ceremonies, 8,829 degrees were awarded during IU’s 183rd Commencement Ceremony. “Your IU education has allowed you to develop the skills of argument and reasoning, of analysis and discernment, of leadership and cooperation,” IU President Michael McRobbie said to the graduating class during the undergraduate ceremony. “It has given you time to explore many different worlds of knowledge that will lead you towards your passion and your life’s work.” Booker T. Jones, a Grammy Award-winning soul artist, songwriter, record producer and arranger, as well as an alumnus of the IU Jacobs School of Music, was selected as the undergraduate

ceremony is, indeed, an auspicious occasion,” Jones said. “You finished the greatest school in the world, Indiana University.” SEE BOOKER T, PAGEA8
Students attempt to profit off ceremony BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu
Several students at the Kelley School of Business tried to make a profit off the school’s commencement ceremony. When Kelley offered a limited number of free admission tickets to the May 4 ceremony in the IU Auditorium, students used online services such as Craigslist and the classified section of IU’s OneStart to sell the free tickets for more than $100 each. While posts from sellers flooded OneStart’s “tickets & events” tab in classifieds, even more posts were made

by students who needed to purchase what was intended to be free. “We don’t condone anybody trying to sell tickets they received for free,” said Mark Land, associate vice president of university communications. “That’s not the spirit in which the tickets were distributed.” But following the May 4 commencement, Land said the problem was not as effectual as anticipated. During the ceremony, Land said approximately 100 seats were left empty. Tickets were issued to anybody who did not already have them for free. IU Auditorium staff
arranged standby lines and overflow seating, but neither were needed. Prior to April 9, students received multiple emails and one physical letter informing them that, for the first time, admission tickets would be required to enter the commencement ceremony. Land said the tickets were beneficial to the University because they gave organizers an idea of how many individuals planned to attend the event. With approximately 900 Kelley students walking at the ceremony, Land said the IU Auditorium’s capacity was expected to be reached
or exceeded. Business students were allowed to pick up three free tickets, one student ticket and two guest tickets, at the IU Auditorium between April 9 and 20. On April 23, the University distributed the remaining tickets on a first-come, firstserved basis. That is when the tickets started popping up online for purchase. Rachel Mauch, who graduated from Kelley with a degree in business economics and public policy, said she was at an interview in Chicago on April 23. She
In one year Aramis Thomas will have a diploma in hand. He will also hold the bag for $40,000 in student loans. Now a senior, Thomas has managed to save $20,000 during his three years at IU. All of this has been in preparation for that moment. “It seems like I’m on top of it, but I’m anything from that,” he said. “As much money as you want to save, it still feels like you can’t catch up to pay back those loans.” Thomas is among the 40 percent of IU students that could potentially benefit from one of the federal government’s best-kept secrets: the Income-Based Repayment Plan. IBR allows recent graduates to repay federal student loans at rates based on their income and family size. Monthly payments are capped at 15 percent of borrowers’ discretionary income. After 25 years, the remaining debt, including interest, is forgiven. But participation in IBR remains low. At the end of April about 856,000 graduates were approved for IBR. However as many as three million borrowers nationwide could benefit from the program, according to the Department of Education website. “We’ve expected more

Mauch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no way I could do that, and by the time I got there on Tuesday morning, they were all sold out.â&#x20AC;? Luckily, she said, two of her friends had one spare ticket each, and they gave her the extra tickets she needed. She said she did not initially think to check online to buy tickets until Kelley Dean Daniel Smith sent an email to students asking them to return extra tickets they were not using. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please, if you have extra tickets, I ask that you return them to my office in Suite 3000 of the Graduate Building so we can distribute them to families who need them,â&#x20AC;? Smith said in the email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It simply is not right for anyone to profit from tickets that were given to you in the spirit that you would use them for yourselves.â&#x20AC;?

Mauch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes sense to me that some students would go and sell their tickets for as much as possible, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem right to me. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem fair. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that personally because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a student who needed these tickets.â&#x20AC;? Although the tickets were offered online with bids asking for hundreds of dollars per ticket, Land said he did not believe there were many buyers. The commencement ceremony went smoothly, Land said, despite the fact that many students and their families worried they would be unable to attend. He said the school plans to distribute tickets differently next year. Instead of informing students, he said tickets will be given directly to parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big day for the students, but the parents are a lot of times the ones who are really excited about being there for these sorts of things,â&#x20AC;?

He said he did not know what to expect as a university student, but that he quickly settled in and had a great time. Panta received a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in psychology with a certificate in neuroscience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My initial plan was to double major in neuroscience and psychology, but I kind of dropped the major in neuroscience down to a certificate, just so I can go into grad school and proceed that way,â&#x20AC;? Panta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret anything because I still got what I wanted to out of it, and I just hope to further my knowledge at grad school.â&#x20AC;? Students selected to speak at the undergraduate commencement included Sunjay Gorawara, who received degrees in finance and entrepreneurship, along with a minor in public and environmental affairs; and Lauren Sedam of the IDS, who majored in journalism and English. For her speech, Sedam interviewed fellow seniors about their experiences at IU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These four years have been turning 21 at Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the game, Hairy Bears and free breadstick day,â&#x20AC;?

Âť IBR CONTINUED FROM PAGE A6 into default.â&#x20AC;? But despite need, the program still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become a household name. Experts credit inadequate marketing and a complicated application process as reasons for lower borrower participation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The topic of federal student loan forgiveness comes up very rarely,â&#x20AC;? said Roy Durnal, IU director of student services, in an email. Generally, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the lender to provide borrowers with information on repayment options, but they are only required to do so when students graduate or enter repayment. This notice comes at a time when IU graduates transition from college to career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just one small piece of a number of major life decisions they have to make,â&#x20AC;? Chitty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, insuring that students have the knowledge of the IBRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very complicated ideas and terms and conditions is a real challenge.â&#x20AC;? Using loan and salary averages from the National Association of Colleges and Employers and the Project on Student Loan Debt, most graduates, including those from IU, will be deemed ineligible for the program. Most federal loans are also expected to be paid off throughout a period of 10

years. Debt forgiveness so late in the game is not realistic for most graduates. Furthermore, extending the time to pay off the loan also extends the loan interest. Under IBR, the total cost of college might increase. But for a borrower making an adjusted gross income of $30,000 after graduation with $30,000 in federal loans and an interest rate of 6.8 percent, participating in IBR would save that alumnus about $180 per month. For those the program does benefit, IBR can be a viable source of financial relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issue is somewhat twofold,â&#x20AC;? Chitty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I would say that higher education is one of the best investments you can make. While it can be intimidating in terms of borrowing money, and figuring out the right repayment plan, the investment is usually worth it.â&#x20AC;?

STOP LEANING
The “V” word and abortion On the second-to-last day before Michigan’s House of Representatives recessed for the summer, two state representatives were removed from discussing HB 5711, a bill regulating abortion clinics introduced by Rep. Bruce Rendon. Rep. Barb Byrum was held from speaking after causing a ruckus by submitting an amendment to the bill limiting vasectomy procedures to men in medical emergencies. This amendment elicited a common response in the minds of the male representatives in the room: “But how am I supposed to cheat on my wife without the chances of setting up a franchise?” One thing leads to another, and you become responsible for the life of another young go-hard for the
following 18 years. The next thing you know, you’re using campaign money to pay for your bastard child’s college fund and yearly copies of FIFA so he’ll keep his damn lid shut. No one wants to be the next John Edwards. Let’s face it, you can’t regulate vasectomies. It’s an undue burden on the goals of men. The other person removed from the room was Rep. Lisa Brown. She was sent out after she used the word, uh, “vagina.” Ew, I just got shivers, did you? I just get so flustered when women use the “V” word. It’s like, gross and uncomfortable. The next day, the House leadership put an unintentionally kinky gag order on Rep. Brown for her outburst of an anatomically correct word in a
debate about the use of said anatomically correct word. I think we can all agree abortion is a serious issue and needs to be discussed, but like the House leadership has indicated, we must choose our words carefully. You almost never hear men use the “P” word. It’s such an ugly word. That’s why we use slang and metaphors for our golf set. I’ve come up with a few words for Rep. Brown to use instead of vagina: “floopity-who,” “hula-hooey” and “joosy-jay.” All of these would take into account the appropriate level of awkwardness we all feel while talking about our bits and pieces and the sex. This way we can have intelligent discourse about how women can use their joosy-jay. HB 5711 understands the
awkwardness of the situation. It only refers to a woman’s hula-hooey once, and that’s only when the bill dictates how to dispose of the non-baby, odds and ends of pregnancy. That’s impressive, especially in a document that is more than 40 pages long. Most of those pages are spent defining detailed variations of the word fetus and reminding everyone it is illegal to coerce a woman into getting an abortion. It makes that point more than 20 times and requires the patient sign a document saying she wasn’t coerced into her decision. As if the only reason anybody ever gets an abortion is because someone is forcing them to. The goal of the bill is to make the process of getting an

abortion difficult. It also wants to increase the costs of running an abortion clinic. HB 5711 makes abortions economically prohibitive and will likely significantly lower the number of abortions performed in Michigan. The bill was passed onto the senate judiciary committee and will be discussed further after summer break. That is, barring the use of the “V” word by representatives with floopity-whos. — nicjacob@indiana.edu
THE SLING-AND-ARROW MAKER
An interview with Uri Horesh Uri Horesh,an IU instructor, was arrested on a Red Cross bus after protesting the policy of not taking blood donations from men who have sex with men. Columnist Sydney Fletcher talked to Horesch about the incident. SIDNEY Is there anything you’d like to address about the events of that day? URI HORESH The main thing I wanted to address was one allegation in the police report that was widely reported and was completely false, and from my point of view, the most troubling for two reasons — that one, it didn’t happen, and two, that it accused me of something immoral and violent. Specifically, I’m referring to the charge that I spit on one of the Red Cross workers. As someone who all my life has practiced a philosophy of nonviolence, I would never spit on someone or do something rude and insolent like that. I know for a fact I did not do it and so when I know for a fact that the only reason that I am charged of it is because the person that accuses me of it knew that I was gay, because I told her so. This event is even more troublesome and shows you how the policy of the Food and Drug Administration is so antiquated and, in an essential way, goes beyond assuring that the blood supply is not tainted with HIV. It goes into the mindset of even the educated people who work for the Red Cross, who are supposed to know how HIV is transmitted, who are supposed to know that people can be gay and healthy. And yet, this woman — for the sole reason of me
being a person who was trying to uphold the University’s own nondiscrimination policy — decided that I was a violent person. This is something that upsets me very much and upsets me even more than the University police, who came to the site with no intention of listening to what I had to say, without any intention of listening to my side of the story, without any willingness to uphold the University’s own nondiscrimination policy. Now I want to ask the chief of police, if the Red Cross or any other guest of the University brought a bus to campus and decided that they wanted to discriminate against minorities, say no Jews in our facility on campus — would he still allow that? Would the University allow that? If they said no women allowed in our bus, would they allow that? If they said no African-Americans, would they allow that? I strongly doubt that. But for some reason, when it comes to gay men and LGBT people, for some reason that is acceptable and that is acceptable because in our society homophobia is not yet risen to the same degree of unacceptability as other forms of bigotry, such as misogyny and racism. I think that is something we should be really cognizant of and very much aware of and it’s upsetting that the university has a nondiscrimination policy that includes sexual orientation, yet it doesn’t uphold it in the same manner that it upholds in other domains. SF Do you believe that IU should institute a ban on Red Cross bloodmobiles on campus?
UH I think they should do one of two things. They should either not allow blood drives to occur on campus if this is the policy that is in place, or they should stipulate that if blood drives occur on campus then such a ban should not be implemented. There are some universities and colleges that when they host blood banks, they stipulate that they must occur off the grounds of the university. They have to occur outside the gates of the university in order for their nondiscrimination policies not to be violated. And if that had been the case, I would have not done what I did. I would not just go into a Red Cross building anywhere and do what I did. I did what I did because it was in a university where discrimination on the basis on sexual orientation is prohibited. Such discrimination is not prohibited in Indiana at large, it’s not prohibited in the United States at large, but it is barred at Indiana University. IU does not allow exclusion of participants on the basis of sexual orientation on any activity in the University. That’s something IU should uphold regardless of who is sponsoring or subcontracting that particular activity. And anything that the University or the administration or the police chief is saying that is trying to sidetrack us from that fact is nothing but a very sorry excuse for not upholding IU’s own policy because the values and interests of the University are to fight on the side of its own people including minorities like sexual minorities on campus. SF Why do you think the FDA still has this discriminatory policy
in place? UH The FDA has this policy because in 1982 when it was implemented, the only thing people knew about AIDS was that it was the “gay cancer.” People really don’t know anything about it. The virus HIV was only discovered years later and only later was it discovered how it was transmitted and that anyone can contract HIV. What people knew was that it was the gay disease, because patient zero was gay, and the people contracting it were gay males in Europe and San Francisco and so forth. And indeed the people who were at high risk for many, many years were in the gay community and there’s no doubt about that, nobody’s disputing that. However, in recent years, there has been so much awareness, so much education among the LGBT community and particularly among gay men that there’s been a decrease in infection in the LGBT community and an increase in other communities. People within the gay community are aware, they know. I could have come to the blood bank with a document that I have from two months ago showing them that I was tested, because I get tested two or three times per year because that’s the norm within the gay community. You have to get tested. This policy was put into place so long ago, over just about 30 years ago when all people knew was that AIDS equals the gay disease. In most of the United Kingdom, just a few months ago the ban was changed to a 12-month deferment, meaning if instead of asking if you have ever had

sex with another man since 1977, they ask if you have had sex with another man in the last 12 months. But that’s still quite discriminatory because you don’t ask that question of heterosexual people, even those that are in HIV high-risk groups. So I still think that there is a lot of homophobia behind the policy. SF In the IDS article, Vice Provost Tom Gieryn said, “Our primary concern is for the students … Students might be curious why he was arrested, or students might be concerned when they learned the nature of his behavior.” Do you agree with Vice Provost Gieryn’s argument that faculty’s ability to protest should be controlled by student expectations? UH I have no idea what the hell he’s talking about. I completely disagree. If I interpret what he’s saying correctly, he says that the First Amendment does not apply to University faculty, and that’s pure interpretation and I think maybe what you should do is call someone from the law school, maybe someone who is an expert in constitutional law, and ask them how they interpret this because I clearly have no freaking idea what the fuck he’s talking about. — sidfletc@indiana.edu

KEVIN’S CORNER
(Almost) everything you need to know about the Higgs Boson With the jubilation and excitement known only to hardcore nerds, The European Organization for Nuclear Research announced on July 4th that the infamous Higgs Boson particle had finally been found. And with this momentous discovery came the inevitable air of boredom and confusion from the general public. Now, I’m obviously no scientist. My 10th-grade lab partner and her singed bangs can attest to that. But I’ve always been interested in scientific discoveries, and as such I’d like to do my best here to try and explain what the Higgs Boson is, and
why you should care. To put it very, very simply, the Higgs Boson gives objects their mass. When we think of mass, we tend to think of how much “stuff ” an object has to it. The more of this magical “stuff ” the object has, the more massive it is. Like most amateur scientific theories, this is completely false. How things actually get their mass is by interacting with the Higgs field, which is just a group of Higgs Boson particles that spans the universe. The Higgs field is a lot like a lake in that it interacts similarly when things try to move through it.
Think of a water skier, skipping across the top of the water with almost no trouble. The water isn’t pulling on him very much, and he can therefore move with ease. But what happens if he doesn’t have skis? If he were to fall and sink into the water, the water would pull on him more and he would never be able to go as fast as when he had skis. The Higgs field, like that lake, interacts with whatever moves through it. Much like an electrical charge, if an object have been “positively charged” with mass, the Higgs field will interact much more heavily with it and the object will sink into the field.
But if it isn’t positively charged with mass, like light, the particle skips across the Higgs field like our water skier. Of course, I’ve watered this explanation down ridiculously, but the discovery of Higgs isn’t what’s most important to me. What I’d really like to answer are the two age-old questions when it comes to scientific discoveries like this: Why should we care and why should we keep spend money on research like this? Quite simply, because it’s pretty cool. I’m all for curing diseases and making the world a safer
place, but decreasing the bad parts of the world isn’t the only thing we should be doing with our time and money. We are the first species in the history of our planet to have the ability to understand the universe in a complex way. The only reason the “modern world” is modern is the human desire to break down and understand the world around us. We need to know how it all works, and discoveries like the Higgs Boson only further our understanding and our connection with all that surrounds us. I think that’s some-

thing that needs our funding, as well as our attention. So, will this discovery irrevocably change the course of human history? Will we become a better species for finding the Higgs Boson? I don’t really know the answers to all this, but I’m excited to find out. — kevsjack@indiana.edu

Hamersley offered reduced bail after firing 32 rounds BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu
Attempted murder suspect Corey J. Hamersley, 21, who police say shot 32 bullets into a house, parked cars and at law enforcement in May, was granted a reduced bail July 2 as long as he abides by a list of restrictions. Hamersley’s bail was reduced to $50,000 surety or $5,000 cash. But before he can post the bond, Monroe County Community Corrections must contact Community Corrections in Hamilton County. Once released from the Monroe County Jail on bail, Hamersley said he plans to live with his mother in Sheridan, Ind., and enter a drug rehabilitation program. Hamersley appeared in Monroe County Circuit Court for a bail review hearing Thursday before Senior Judge Douglas Bridges, who said Hamersley would have to wait three days before a determination of bond reduction. Restrictions on his bond will require corrections officials to monitor Hamersley with GPS tracking, implemented immediately upon his release from jail. He will also be required to submit to home evaluation, must be under supervision 24 hours a day and he will not be permitted to leave his mother’s residence unless approved. Hamersley will also be restricted from consuming or coming in contact with someone who is consuming alcohol or illegal substances. He will be restricted from firearm use and from making contact with victims. Hamersley was arrested May 11 after allegedly firing 32 rounds from a 9mm semi-automatic handgun at the 300 block of E. 15th St. into the back of a residence, at vehicles and, after police arrived, at the officers. Throughout the incident, Hamersley was naked and allegedly tripping on LSD. Police then shot Hamersley in both legs. He was transported to IU Health Bloomington Hospital and, following surgery for gunshot wounds, to jail. Hamersley faces felony charges of attempted murder, criminal recklessness, pointing a firearm and possession of a controlled substance. He also faces misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and resisting law enforcement. Prior to the incident, Hamersley was an IU student studying exercise science. According to the IU website, Hamersley was recognized as a University Division Scholar of Highest Distinction for having a grade point average between 3.9 and 4.0. He has since been suspended from IU because he is a threat to students, said Mark Land, associate vice president of university communications. During the bail review hearing, Hamersley sat motionless in the courtroom wearing a black and white jail uniform. Hamersley, his mother Tonya Martin, clinical psychologist Richard Lawlor of Nashville, Ind., and private investigator David Hough of Pittsboro, Ind., testified in Hamersley’s defense. Hamersley told Bridges he does not have intentions of harming himself or others and does not have access to weapons in Sheridan. Without warning, Hamersley said he would agree to submit to random drug screenings and inspections of his parents’ home for alcohol, drugs or weapons as a condition of being released on bail. “I myself probably cannot afford any sort of bail, but my parents might be able to afford $1,000, but I honestly do not know,” Hamersley told Bridges. When Martin testified before Bridges, she said the family has $5,000 in savings. She does not own her home or any other assets. Martin, who said she is a licensed practical nurse, said Hamersley’s health insurance will cover inpatient rehabilitation at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis as long as the rehab is not court ordered.

on Holmes’ small, white house began to shake. Standing in front of his television, from where he initially disregarded the warnings, he hurried to his old, wooden desk, grabbed a flash drive and took cover in the far left corner of his bathroom. Holmes hugged his cat Kiki so tight, he said she probably thought he would kill her. Then, the tornado hit. Several of the tall trees surrounding his home toppled onto his roof, exposing the inside to the dark, wet sky. “I don’t know if there’s anything that really goes through your mind,” Holmes said. “More than anything else, you’re just standing there wondering if you’re going to buy it or not. Is this your moment or is this not your moment, as far as dying goes?” At the rear of his house, the tornado stole his entire roof. Windows shattered and furniture was sucked out through the ceiling. “For all I know, part of the roof is laying in the bottom of Lake Monroe,” Holmes said. “I don’t know where the tornado dumped it.” More than a year ago — May 25, 2011 — a 110 mile-per-hour tornado ripped through Bloomington, taking with it trees and homes. Holmes was one of many victims, but he was possibly the last person to receive help. Every morning for about 11 months, Holmes awoke in his bed in his dining room. Although Holmes had made his bed on Saturday, the rest of his house remained a wreck. When it rained, he tried collecting as much water as he could in buckets. With several windows missing, covered only by sheets of plastic, he said winter was miserable. For 11 months he lived in his broken home, unable to afford repairs and unwilling to leave. In April, he was kicked out of his house. But he said he was happy to leave. Volunteers arrived to rebuild what was lost.

* * * In October 2010, Holmes lost his job as a computer specialist when Comcast’s call center in Bloomington shut down. He tried finding a new job, but at his age, he said he did not have any luck. He said he went on unemployment, but in order for him
to pay his bills, that was not enough. “The only jobs I could find while I was on unemployment paid less than what the unemployment was, so it’s not what you would call good economics,” Holmes said. Holmes got desperate. To save money, he canceled his homeowners insurance. The tornado hit a few months later. “Of course that’s when I got busted,” Holmes said. For six weeks following the disaster, Holmes and his neighbors went without power. Traffic on State Road 45, which runs directly in front of Holmes’ residence, was jammed with gawkers taking pictures, Holmes said. But none of these people, he said, stopped to offer help. “I don’t know how many people who got a picture of my house with trees all over it,” Holmes said. “They actually slowed the whole process down a tremendous amount. I understand peoples’ curiosity, but they don’t think past their own nose a lot of times.” But even more problematic, Holmes said, was the traffic noise running along his house — specifically noise from large trucks. “That’s just the way it is, but at night when they come roaring by, I jump up out of bed thinking it’s a tornado again,” he said. While FEMA approved disaster relief funding for municipalities, they did not provide funding for individual residents. However, Holmes said he did receive a $5,000 disaster relief grant from the State of Indiana through a fund established by taxes on firework sales. “It almost felt like your parents disowned you,” Holmes said. “I’ve worked, I’ve paid taxes and all of that, but the government disowned me. That’s how it feels.” Following the tornado, Holmes said about 80,000 pounds of tree limbs covered his roof. Eventually, a group of Amish men stopped and volunteered to remove the limbs. But he did not receive other help. SEE HOME, PAGE B4
Friends, family mourn at 2-year-old’s vigil BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu

Donating her heart to a 10-monthold in need, she saved someone’s life. In honor of a life now lost, she brought people together. Huddled on the lawn in front of Timber Ridge Apartments at 2300 S. Henderson St., friends and family gathered July 24 for I’Nere’s vigil. I’Nere died at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis at about 4:30 a.m. July 19 after being transported by helicopter from IU Health Bloomington Hospital. I’Nere died from severe head trauma believed
to be caused by child abuse. The girl’s mother, Tameria Kline, and the mother’s girlfriend, Dominique Irby, were arrested by the Bloomington Police Department on July 17 after Irby admitted she had beaten the child with a belt until she had welts, tied her arms and legs together with a T-shirt and locked the child in the bathroom with the lights off as a form of punishment on several instances, BPD Detective Sgt. John Kovach said. Irby, 20, faces a preliminary charge of battery on a minor, a Class D felony, and Kline, 23, faces a preliminary charge of neglect of a dependent child, a Class D felony.

Purdue University selects Gov. Daniels as 12th president BY COLLEEN SIKORSKI csikorsk@indiana.edu
WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue University’s Board of Trustees selected current Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels as Purdue’s next president during a meeting on June 21. Gov. Daniels, wearing a black-and-gold-striped tie during the trustees’ meeting, said he was excited and deeply honored to take on his new role as Purdue’s Mitch Daniels 12th president and that Purdue is a “premiere community of problem-solvers” that can tackle the challenges facing higher education. He said he is proud to have been asked to serve in the a position. “No institution of any kind means more to Indiana than Purdue University,” Daniels said, adding that both state and national success depend on the expertise of Purdue’s graduates. “I could conceive of no other assignment where a person could contribute more to Indiana.” Trustee chairman Keith Krach emphasized Daniels’ passion for higher education, his global statesman profile that can “take Purdue to
greater heights” and his leadership experience and ability to attract top talent. “We believe that the university with the best people wins,” Krach said, calling Daniels and Purdue’s faculty an “unbeatable combination.” Student Trustee Miranda McCormack said she received nothing but positive comments from students since the news broke and said she is confident Daniels will be an approachable president engaged with the student body. Krach and Michael Berghoff, a trustee and chair of the presidential search committee, spoke at length about the selection process. It began about a year ago with a 13-member search committee and outside help from an executive recruiting firm. “We looked at every sitting president of a major university,” Krach said. “We looked at government leaders, business leaders. We didn’t leave one stone unturned.” While the search committee approved multiple candidates it felt were qualified to be Purdue’s next president, Berghoff said Daniels was “the most frequently nominated nominee throughout this whole process.” There are 10 members of the Purdue Board of Trustees.
“We looked at every sitting president of a major university. We looked at government leaders, business leaders. We didn’t leave one stone unturned.” Keith Krach, Purdue Board of Trustees chairman
According to Indiana law, the state governor appoints seven members to the Purdue Board of Trustees, and the Purdue Alumni Association elects three members. According to the Purdue Board of Trustees website, Daniels appointed two trustees within the past year. Daniels also re-appointed three of the Purdue trustees June 19, along with several other higher education reappointments. Daniels said he would spend his time learning more about Purdue and higher education before he takes office. “The next six months, for me, will be occupied by lots of listening and very little talking,” Daniels said. Gov. Daniels said that, effective immediately, he would recuse himself from any partisan activity or commentary in his role as governor. His current term will end in January 2013, and he will take office as Purdue’s president once this term expires. In the interim, Purdue’s Provost Timothy Sands will
serve as the university’s president. Current Purdue president France Córdova announced in July 2011 that she would step down when her contract ended in July 2012. Daniels was congratulated by various Bloomington and IU officials for his new position, including Rep. Todd Young, R-Bloomington, and IU President Michael McRobbie. IU President Michael McRobbie congratulated Daniels in a press release. “I offer my best wishes and support to Governor Daniels as he enters what certainly will be an exciting new chapter in his impressive career,” McRobbie said. John Ketzenberger, president of the Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute, said Daniels will still have a platform to remain in the national spotlight, while Purdue will get Daniels’ political, private sector and Fortune 500 executive experience. “He would be able to leverage fundraising like no other person that I could think of in SEE PURDUE, PAGE B9
Gov. Daniels announces budget surplus for Ind. BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu
A preliminary look at fiscal data shows Indiana will close the 2012 Fiscal Year, which ended June 30, with reserves of more than $2 billion and an annual revenue of more than $500 million than annual expenses. Because of the surplus, Gov. Mitch Daniels said July 3 Indiana taxpayers will receive a refund of at least $100 next year, in compliance with state law requiring some of the extra funds be reimbursed to Indiana residents. Single filers can expect a tax return of more than $100, Daniels said at the Statehouse Tuesday, while joint filers can expect a credit of more than $200. “Thanks to this amount
there will be a major infusion of money into Indiana’s pension funds, which are already the strongest in the country, and the first automatic taxpayer refund in state history,” Daniels said at the press conference. With reserves totaling at least 14 percent of the state’s budget, most Hoosier taxpayers will receive their first automatic taxpayer refund when they file state taxes in 2013, according to a press release. The Indiana General Assembly approved Daniels’ plan for an automatic taxpayer refund in 2011. The Office of Management and Budget and the Auditor of State’s office provided the official report in mid-July. Exact refund figures will not be announced until fall after
estimates are calculated on how many tax returns qualify, according to the release. Last year’s median income tax payment was $819, Daniels said, so the typical Indiana resident will be refunded an amount of more than 10 percent. “What we can say today is we have double-digit discounts for the typical Indiana taxpayer,” Daniels said. While half of the excess will be returned to taxpayers, the other half will go toward the state’s pension funds. Indiana’s pension funds, which the press release said are already rated among the nation’s most secure, are expected to top $300 million. While Daniels said this SEE BUDGET, PAGE B9

» VIGIL CONTINUED FROM PAGE B1 for an autopsy report from the Marion County Coroner’s Office before potentially issuing additional charges. “I want to tell the accused, or the suspected, that we still love them,” Micah said. “They are still family. Just start talking to the Father, get your life in order, get some forgiveness.” On the apartment complex’s lawn was a cluster of unlit candles in front of two cardboard signs with photographs of I’Nere. “Luv N Memories Lost, 4-1710 to 7-19-12,” said one of the signs in colorful letters. A brown stuffed animal rested among the candles on the grass. In front of the mourners, who wielded unlit candles and sniffled, Micah held a bible with a baby blue cover. He told the group he wanted to open the vigil with a prayer, bowing his head and closing his eyes. “Anything we have carrying in our hearts — pain, discouragement, desperation and confusion — we just ask you right now, Lord, to remove all that right now,” he said. “We just ask that you comfort our hearts and comfort our minds.” As tears came to Micah’s eyes, he called for a moment of silence. The crowd passed around lighters, igniting white candles. A woman held a cell phone above the group’s bowed heads. “Amazing Grace” quietly played from the phone’s speakers.
Although the vigil was arranged by I’Nere’s father, Timothy Wallace, and his girlfriend, Jessica Merchant, Micah said he agreed to lead the ceremony. “My brother is suffering a great loss right now,” Micah said. “He knows I’m a spiritual man, I’m a sensible man. I’m one with my spirituality, so he needed someone to lead. It was an honor and a privilege. I’m glad I got to do it.” A man stepped forward and kneeled in front of the cardboard signs. He rubbed a picture of I’Nere’s smiling face and set a small candle on the ground. “Rest in peace, little girl,” he said as he stood. Martha Wallace, I’Nere’s aunt, attended the vigil with her children, including her 5-year-old daughter. “She wants to know why,” Martha said. “How do you tell a 5-year-old, innocent child anything like that? How do you explain it?” I’Nere’s uncle Brad Young said he was at the hospital for her birth. Above all, he said he will remember her energy. “‘See it,’ that was her favorite words, and that’s cute,” Young said. “She had her own language, but we always knew what she meant. She could only speak four or five sentences, but we always knew what she was talking about.” A funeral for I’Nere was held on July 27 in Muncie. “She was a huggable, lovable baby,” Timothy said. “And she never got a chance.”

Arizona immigration law could affect Ind. BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu
The May 25 ruling on Arizona’s immigration law before the U.S. Supreme Court, which struck down several key provisions, could impact immigration policy in Indiana. In 2011, Gov. Mitch Daniels signed Senate Enrolled Act 590, allowing local law enforcement to detain individuals subject to federal immigration court removal orders. It would also prohibit the use of foreign consular identification cards as valid ID. The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, the National Immigration Law Center and the law firm of Lewis and Kappes, P.C. filed a class action lawsuit in May 2011 challenging Indiana’s 2011 immigration policy. U.S. District Judge Sarah Barker filed a preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of Indiana’s immigration law following the ACLU’s lawsuit, which says the law authorizes police to make warrantless arrests of individuals based on
» SHOOTER CONTINUED FROM PAGE B1 Although residing in his parents’ home, Martin said Hamersley would be alone about three hours a day, but she said she could make arrangements for supervision. Also, he would not have a cell phone and would have computer access in the home’s living room. Martin said she has the ability to drug test Hamersley herself. During Lawlor’s testimony, he said Hamersley smoked up to three marijuana joints a day while studying at IU, high not only while studying but also while taking exams. Lawlor said Hamersley also experimented with LSD and Xanax. Lawlor told Bridges he interviewed Hamersley in the jail, where Hamersley said he met with friends at a bar the
assumed immigration status. The groups charge that the Indiana law will lead to racial profiling and trample upon the rights of Indiana residents, according to the ACLU, which is waiting for Barker to issue a judgment on the case. In the case Arizona v. United States, concerning the constitutionality of Arizona’s immigration law and whether federal law should preempt a state-level immigration statute, the country’s highest court ruled that Arizona’s 2010 immigration law interfered with the federal government’s role in setting immigration policy. But the Supreme Court ruled the state could move forward with the most highly contested provision in the law: the “show me your papers” requirement, which requires police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the U.S. illegally. “We are not done in Arizona and will continue the battle against discriminatory laws like these that encourage racial profiling and undermine the consti-
tutional guarantee of equal protection,” ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said in a press release. “Be it in the courts or in state legislatures, we will aggressively take on these laws and blunt the effects of this miscarriage of justice. When local police can stop and detain anyone they perceive as ‘foreign’ because of their skin color, their accent or their surname, it is a watershed moment for civil rights.” According to the Supreme Court’s opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, police officers will be prohibited from arresting people on minor immigration charges. Major provisions struck down by the immigration law include requiring all immigrants to obtain or carry immigration registration papers, allowing law enforcement to arrest suspected illegal immigrants without warrants and making it a criminal offense for an illegal immigrant to seek employment. “I’m pleased that the Supreme Court found that the power for making decisions about immigration should be on a federal level, rather
night before the shooting. That night, Hamersley told Lawlor he drank alcohol, smoked marijuana and dropped acid. He said he did not remember how he returned home.. But Lawlor said he identified Hamersley as an intelligent individual. “I would estimate his IQ between 115 and 125,” Lawlor said. “He did get into drugs, and he got into drugs heavily.” Although Hamersley told Lawlor he does not have memory of the shooting incident, he recognized in the hospital that he was in trouble. Hough told Bridges he and Martin distributed a survey throughout Sheridan, identifying that nobody in the community feared Hamersley. “We just want a reasonable bail so we can properly prepare a defense for this defendant,” said Hamersley’s defense attorney Rafael Ramirez.

tus for any detainee, is a little troublesome.” Illegal immigration is on the rise in Indiana, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center. Undocumented immigrants constitute about 1.9 percent of Indiana’s population and about 2.5 percent of the state’s work force, according to the re-
port, ranking the state 31st in the country. Aside from Indiana, four other states have laws modeled after provisions implemented in Arizona, including Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Utah. The ACLU and other groups have also filed lawsuits challenging the policies in each of these states. The State of Indiana was one of 15 states to sign an amicus brief authored by the State of Michigan that was filed in February in support of the State of Arizona, according to a press release from the Indiana Attorney General’s Office. The office is currently analyzing the Supreme Court’s ruling to determine the future of Indiana’s immigration law, according to the release. “The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision provides valuable guidance to Indiana and other states in the proper role we serve in cooperation with the federal government in enforcing immigration laws,” Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in the SEE IMMIGRATION, PAGE B9

Âť HOME CONTINUED FROM PAGE B1 Raised in a self-reliant family, Holmes said he did not ask his older brother or grown children for a place to live because he did not want to â&#x20AC;&#x153;impose.â&#x20AC;? So, he continued living in his damaged home. He searched for jobs and continued working on his science fiction trilogy. Holmes, who has already published one book along with a collection of training manuals, began the trilogy long before the tornado struck. The first book, which is complete and roughly 90,000 words in length, was backed up on his flash drive. Still hanging on the wall of his living room, close to the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance, is a white board covered in hand-written notes. The novel, he said, is about a girl who was abducted by an alien and is eventually adopted into an alien family. A leafy vine began growing through the window sill in his bedroom, which smelled ripe from mold. The remaining carpet was matted down from water damage. In the bathroom where he found refuge hung a small motivational poster bearing the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opportunity.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If certain authorities found out I was still living in the house, they might have kicked me out,â&#x20AC;? Holmes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anywhere else to go at that point.â&#x20AC;? * * * In Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back yard May 12, Mark Pitman poured gasoline on a tall pile of tree limbs. After igniting the logs, he stood and watched the fire slowly burn. Pitman is the disaster relief coordinator at Bloomington Baptist Church, working under the umbrella of Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief Indiana. Pitman, along with three other volunteers from Bloomington Baptist Church and Vineyard Community Church, volunteered to rebuild Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residence. Catholic Charities of Indianapolis agreed to provide the necessary funds, Holmes said.
FAR ABOVE Holmes, a former camera repairman, points to the outline of his latest trilogy-in-progress, written on a whiteboard nailed to a wall in what used to be his living room. The book is about a woman who has been abducted by aliens tentatively titled "Feel Me Touch You." ABOVE Pitman throws a bunch of branches and twigs into the fire he and Galey started earlier in the morning. LEFT A vine grows against a window in what used to be Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedroom. Holmes had moved his bed into the former dining room due to the extensive damage to his bedroom.
During construction, Holmes said he is staying with his older brother, who is also helping him financially. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an awesome experience,â&#x20AC;? Pitman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really rewarding. There is no other work you can do to know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping someone that is more fulfilling. We need money to pay our bills. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reality. But the true joy, the true fulfillment, comes from helping someone else and seeing the joy on their face. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth more than any paycheck.â&#x20AC;? Holmes said he is glad the volunteers are there to help. But he admitted accepting their assistance was difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, I have tremendous appreciation for everything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been one that was giving help, not getting help,â&#x20AC;? Holmes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a pride thing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of being independent.â&#x20AC;? In order to prevent further water damage to the home, the crew first rebuilt the roof. On just one side of the roof, 39 of the 40 rafters were replaced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the one that everybody said couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Scales of Vineyard Community Church, who said she provides disaster relief full-time around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every single person we met said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be rebuilt,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because it was too far gone. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve rebuilt ones in worse shape than this.â&#x20AC;? On May 12, the focus of the volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work was not on Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house but on the yard. In order to prevent future damage to the home, the remaining trees towering overhead will be removed. To accomplish this, the branches and debris still covering his lawn need to be moved. After the trees are removed May 13 and 14, volunteers will redirect their focus to the structure. Holmes will never again see the home he once had. His life will not go back to the way it was. But once the construction work is complete, he will be able to live comfortably with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new normal.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes,â&#x20AC;? said volunteer John Galey from Vineyard Community Church, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to put things aside and help somebody else out.â&#x20AC;?

12 arrested for drug sale operation Drought affects those involved in the dealing activity, according to the release. Those arrested for dealing charges have addresses of either Detroit or Battle Creek, Mich. One of the arrested suspects might have as many as 13 prior convictions, Qualters said. The investigation is ongoing, and BPD expects to make additional arrests.
Southern Winds Inn site of drug investigation BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu
Twelve people were arrested July 11 by the Bloomington Police Department for various drug-related charges as a result of a three-month drug investigation focusing on the Southern Winds Inn Apartments, located at 3000 S. Walnut St. Items seized during the searches included about 40-50 grams of cocaine, about 40 grams of heroin, a 9mm Ruger handgun and $5,100 in cash. BPD Cpt. Joe Qualters said the total street value of the seized drugs is nearly $20,000. The drug operation was estimated to bring in about $5,000 to $10,000 per week. At about 5:30 a.m., officers executed search warrants in four apartments in the complex, Qualters said in a press release. Ten of the arrested suspects were nabbed at the scene, and another suspect was arrested several hours later near a motel in the 1700 block of North Walnut Street. “We believe that these arrests will have a significant impact on the availability of crack cocaine and heroin in Bloomington, and I commend the investigators for their work on this case,” BPD Chief Michael Diekhoff said in the release. “We continue to deal with those who come from other locations to set up drug dealing operations in our community, and it should be clear that we will identify you, target you and

arrest you for your illegal activity.” The investigation began when investigators became aware of an individual known only as “Frog,” who was reportedly involved in dealing heroin at the Southern Winds Inn. Frog was later identified as Larry D. Johnson of Michigan, Qualters said. BPD drug investigators, detectives and uniform personnel were all involved in the operation. The Critical Incident Response Team was utilized because of the prevalence of weapons being carried by the individuals under surveillance. One individual had been
observed carrying three weapons as investigators conducted surveillance during the last few weeks, Qualters said. Investigators indicated they observed lines form outside the apartments involved in dealing drugs. The complex, Qualters said, was frequented throughout most of the night by those seeking crack cocaine and heroin. BPD investigators plan to discuss the possibility of federal charges with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms because of the quantity of drugs seized, as well as the use of firearms by

IU trees, landscape BY NONA TEPPER ntepper@indiana.edu
Storms swept through Bloomington last summer. Rain fell, and trees were uprooted. “It was a dark and stormy night” applied to most days. IU lost more than 700 trees due to harsh weather. After the storm, the University invested in 1,100 new seedlings for replacement. “Planting the trees in response to the storm was a way to be a good stewardess to the environment,” IU Landscape
Architect Mia Williams said. But this year’s weather has again made life tough for campus trees. Monroe County has been placed under a state of extreme drought. As of July 25, rainfall was estimated to be down about 16 inches from previous years. According to the Indiana Drought Monitor, about 54 percent of Monroe County, including IU, has been affected by the dry weather. “We sort of signed on to SEE DROUGHT, PAGE B9
Police apprehend man who shot two at pool BY IDS REPORTS
Police located and arrested shooting suspect Carlos Nunez at an Indianapolis apartment complex June 20. Bloomington and Indianapolis police were searching for Nunez after a dip in an east-side pool was interrupted by a spray of shotgun pellets June 19. Carlos Nunez, 24, allegedly shot two men near the pool area of College Mall Apartments in the 2600 block of East Second Street, Lt. Bill Parker of the Bloomington Police Department said in a press release. Police responded to the area at 6:40 p.m., but the victims and the suspect had all left the apartment complex. A witness at the scene told police that a man had entered the pool area with a shotgun and fired once at one of the men. The man’s friend
was also hit. Later that evening, one of the victims arrived at IU Health Bloomington Hospital. Manuel Arteaga-Moreno, 24, suffered injuries to his left hand and upper torso but is expected to recover, Parker said. Police interviewed the victim at the hospital and learned that he and his friend Rigoverto Santos-Lopez, 28, were invited to the pool by Moreno’s girlfriend. Nunez, the girlfriend’s exboyfriend, allegedly arrived at the pool and fired at Moreno with a shotgun. Santos, who was later located at his residence, sustained an injury to his leg but did not seek treatment, Parker said. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms assisted with the search for Nunez. — Jake New

Gregg selects running mate BY MARK KEIERLEBER mkeierle@indiana.edu
Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former Indiana House Speaker John Gregg announced May 22 he has selected Indiana Senate Democratic Leader Vi Simpson of Ellettsville as his running mate. On May 23, Gregg and Simpson stopped in Bloomington as part of a statewide tour to introduce Simpson to Indiana voters as the Democratic Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new lieutenant governor candidate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want someone who believes when we do education reform, that we have school teachers sitting at the table,â&#x20AC;? Gregg said, standing on the porch of the Monroe County Democratic Headquarters on South College Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want someone who shares my passion of keeping college affordable, and I found such a person. I want someone that connects with Indiana, someone in touch with Indiana, someone that is in Indiana.â&#x20AC;? But Simpson, who said she lives about three miles from downtown Bloomington, is already a known figure in Monroe Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political scene. Wielding new signs supporting Gregg and Simpson for governor and small American flags, supporters stood on the lawn and sidewalk outside the white, two-story house converted into the Democratic Headquarters. As Simpson spoke on the porch, supporters chanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vi.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always agree on things, and we will not always agree on things, but I believe in John Gregg because the day he talked to me about being the lieutenant governor, he said,
Stoops to run for Simponâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ind. Senate seat BY COLLEEN SIKORSKI csikorsk@indiana.edu
CLAYTON MOORE | IDS
Indiana Senator Vi Simpson spoke at the Monroe County Democratic Headquarters on May 23 with gubernatorial canidate John Gregg after it was announced that she would be Gregg's running mate.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I do not want a yes-man,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and he knows he will not get one,â&#x20AC;? Simpson told the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wants people who believe different things, who have different perspectives and different life experiences sitting at the table when he makes decisions.â&#x20AC;? Before being elected to the Senate in 1984, Simpson served as Monroe County Auditor. In 2008, she was elected Democrat Leader by the State Democrat Caucus. While in the Senate, Simpson authored legislation creating Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Insurance program, which has become a national model for delivering cost-effective health service to uninsured children. Simpson said she considers that to be one of her largest accomplishments while serving in the Senate. She also initiated the debate on tax restructuring and property tax reform, leading to
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always agree on things, and we will not always agree on things, but I believe in John Gregg because the day he talked to me about being the lieutenant governor, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I do not want a yes-man,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and he knows he will not get one.â&#x20AC;? Vi Simpson, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor
legislation that revamped the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax code. More recently, Simpson was co-author of the Lifeline Law, which Gov. Mitch Daniels signed into law in March. The Lifeline Law gives individuals limited protection when they seek medical help for someone who is underage and intoxicated. If elected as the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two top-ranking government officials during Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general election, both Gregg and Simpson said their first priority will be job creation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Gregg) does not want an administration that is fo-
cused on a social agenda,â&#x20AC;? Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wants an administration that focuses on putting Indiana back to work and raising the vote for everybody, raising the income rate for people and making sure we have affordable education opportunities, making sure we have a secure retirement for our seniors and making sure women have access to health care.â&#x20AC;? While tackling set agendas if elected, Gregg said he hopes to operate from SEE GOVERNOR, PAGE B9
Democrat and current Monroe County Commissioner Mark Stoops has thrown his hat into the race for the soon-to-be-empty seat of current state Sen. Vi Simpson, D-Ellettsville. Simpson, the current Indiana Senate Democratic Leader, announced on May 22 she will run for lieutenant governor with Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg. She has served in the Senate since 1984. Joined by a crowd of about 20 supporters at a press conference outside the Monroe County Government Center on Thursday, Stoops laid out his platform positions and emphasized the need for patience and small steps in the legislative process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Democrats are a small majority in the Senate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Success will not come from storming the tower.â&#x20AC;? Stoops served on the Monroe County Council for eight years before being defeated by Republican Marty Hawk in 2006. Stoops was again elected a county commissioner in 2008. He is well known for his opposition to the proposed Interstate 69 route through Monroe County and helping to create the County Employee Health Clinic. Stoops told the crowd that his legislative strat-
egy includes taking the time to understand how pieces of a complex Mark Stoops problem fit together and listening to advice from relevant experts. Stoops said his positions include support of collective bargaining and support of gay marriage. He emphasized his support of teachers and not slashing school funding. He also said that, if elected, he plans to protect access to food stamps and unemployment benefits. He said he also plans to uphold Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for state health care programs. As a state senator, he said he will focus on Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so polluted that other states are suing us,â&#x20AC;? Stoops said. Indiana needs to search for new-energy job opportunities and invest in alternative transportation, Stoops said. Stoops will face Republican Reid Dallas of Ellettsville in the race for Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat in Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only will I win, I will do it by a margin so wide that people will clearly know what the voters of Bloomington and Monroe County stand for,â&#x20AC;? Stoops said. SEE SENATE, PAGE B9

CLAYTON MOORE | IDS
Lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Vi Simpson talks to Bloomington residents May 23 outside the Monroe County Democratic Headquarters.
Âť GOVERNOR CONTINUED FROM PAGE B8 a bipartisan stance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people think cooperation, collaboration and being bipartisan is a bad word, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to vote for us,â&#x20AC;? Gregg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people who can bring people together, try to find a common ground and work together, concentrate on jobs, concentrate on education. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about ideas not ideology.â&#x20AC;? From a democratic platform, both Gregg and Simpson said it will be a battle to win votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approval against Republican Candidate Mike Pence, who is currently serving in the United States House of Representatives in Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth district. Pence selected Sue Ellspermann as his running mate. She is a current member of the Indiana House of Representatives. Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Rupert Boneham is running in the general election with Brad Klopfenstein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all know Indiana is a state that is difficult for Democrats to win, but we are always contrasting ourselves,â&#x20AC;? Gregg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We call ourselves the Green Team against the Extreme Team. We like to show people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about jobs.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not about social issues, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about being inclusive and giving teachers a voice in education.â&#x20AC;? If elected in Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general election, Simpson will have to give up her Democratic nomination for her spot in the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of you have been concerned about the fact that I am leaving the Senate, and I want you to know that it took a lot of thought, and I shared some of those thoughts with my dear friends before I made the decision,â&#x20AC;? Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I had a conversation with John, I knew this was the right thing for me to do. It was the right thing for me to do because, together, we make a complete ticket.â&#x20AC;? On May 24, Gregg and Simpson stopped in Lafayette, Fort Wayne and Hammond, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can give us a big margin out of Monroe County and we can win a few other counties with a big margin around this state, you are looking at the next governor of the State of Indiana,â&#x20AC;? Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;President Obama needs you, Shelli Yoder needs you, our Senate from top to bottom needs you and John Gregg and Vi Simpson need you more than ever.â&#x20AC;?
revenue uptick hints toward a stronger Indiana economy, he said the national economy â&#x20AC;&#x153;continues to struggle and could plummet again for all we know.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first job has always been to protect Hoosiers against a catastrophe that is happing all around us, right next door to us in a couple places,â&#x20AC;? Daniels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even after seven years with the economy the way it is, there are always better ways to improve.â&#x20AC;? During the meeting, Daniels was questioned about a $2 million bill the state owes the federal government to cover unemployment compensation checks to Hoosier workers. But that fund is separate from the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund, Daniels said, so the excess allowing for refunds could not be distributed to the federal government. With the upcoming general election in November,
Âť DROUGHT CONTINUED FROM PAGE B2 care for the trees, so we need to do our best to keep them alive,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. Nursery Manager Mitchell Goss said he thinks about 20 percent of trees will be lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing very, very large trees, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking 24 to 30 inches in diameter, dying due to lack of water,â&#x20AC;? Goss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up with the landscaping.â&#x20AC;? Campus division employees are watering extensively, but Goss still describes campus as â&#x20AC;&#x153;burnt.â&#x20AC;? The trees, a $121,000 investment, might have to be replaced.

Âť PURDUE
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ďŹ rst job has always been to protect Hoosiers against a catastrophe that is happing all around us, right next door to us in a couple places. Even after seven years with the economy the way it is, there are always better ways to improve.â&#x20AC;?

Mitch Daniels, Ind. Governor
Danielsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; governorship will soon fall into the hands of Republican Mike Pence or Democrat John Gregg. Daniels said his administration will leave further decisionmaking regarding the surplus up to his successor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Hoosier should be grateful for the fiscal stewardship of the Daniels Administration, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat this as an opportunity to grow government,â&#x20AC;? Pence said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead, we should use our position of strength to grow our economy and continue to practice the fiscal discipline necessary to make Indiana the state (that) works.â&#x20AC;? Daniels said he would not make suggestions as to what his successor should has invested $8,000 in gator bags for the greenery. These bags cover tree stumps and protect water from immediately evaporating. So far, 500 campus trees have been outfitted. The University Division fund, and IU benefactors contributed funding. Goss said maintaining campus green space is important because it acts as the first â&#x20AC;&#x153;helloâ&#x20AC;? and final â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodbyeâ&#x20AC;? for students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I think about every morning,â&#x20AC;? Goss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the students will see as they enter and what they see as they exit.â&#x20AC;? This year, when students return to campus, Goss said what they will see is a very, very drastic situation-brown grass, burnt fields and leaves.
do with the strong financial picture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the point is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have flexibility to invest, spend, cut taxes, for some a mix of all of those,â&#x20AC;? Daniels said. Gubernatorial candidate Gregg said in a press release his campaign has long focused on tax cuts for all Hoosiers to create Indiana jobs. In order to do that, Gregg said citizens need to know exactly how much money the state has in reserve through an independent audit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all,â&#x20AC;? Gregg said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hoosier families donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write checks without knowing how much is in the bank. Their government should do the same.â&#x20AC;?
Âť IMMIGRATION
Indiana,â&#x20AC;? Ketzenberger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly important as the legislature has reduced funding for higher education in the last five years, some of it ironically under Gov. Danielsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; request.â&#x20AC;? Both Purdue and IU rely on government relations staffs to maintain relationships with the state legislature. But Ketzenberger said it will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;interestingâ&#x20AC;? to see how a different relationship between Daniels (as Purdue president) and the state legislature would play out. Ketzenberger also pointed out a trend of hiring private sector executives to fill higher education administrative spots. Ketzenberger said Daniels will bring a corporate mindset to higher education administration, which has historically valued a background in academia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting to see how someone from politics and the private sector approaches higher education,â&#x20AC;? Ketzenberger said.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B3 release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The failure of Congress to reform our immigration statutes has put states in the difficult position of seeking this guidance from the judicial branch.â&#x20AC;? Following review, Zoeller said his office will advise the state legislature of any necessary changes to Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to start thinking seriously about what it means to be an American and who that population should entail,â&#x20AC;? Wolf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are going to be checking the status for someone, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to be doing that for everyone alike.â&#x20AC;?
Âť SENATE CONTINUED FROM PAGE B8 Cheryl Munson, a Monroe County resident, said at the press conference that she supports Stoops for state senate. She said she has followed Stoopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; political career since he began serving on the county council in 2000 and was â&#x20AC;&#x153;thrilledâ&#x20AC;? he was running for Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made so many right decisions,â&#x20AC;? Munson said of Stoopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time on city council and as county commissioner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vi has very big shoes to fill. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe people of Monroe County wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see his past contributions.â&#x20AC;?

Strength coach Tom Morris assists a student athlete with a workout. Morris is recovering from a C6 spinal cord injury he sustained from a mountain bike accident on May 17.
With help of supporters, IU strength coach continues recovery
Still getting stronger BY JOE POPELY jpopely@indiana.edu
T
om Morris has always taken care of his body. The IU assistant strength and conditioning coach has competed in countless triathlons in his lifetime and would routinely wake up before the sun to start his workouts. A regular mountain biker, Morris was wearing a helmet the day he suffered an accident — a C6 spinal cord injury — that has him unsure if he will ever walk again. On May 17, Morris flipped over his mountain bike’s handlebars and cracked his helmet while landing on his head at Wapehani Mountain Bike Park. He laid in the woods, unable to move, for three hours before anyone came to his aid. With remarkable quickness, though, friends, more than 900 of his family and other well-wishers have rallied behind him. Morris first saw the Tom’s Team Facebook
“I had no fear. It was a strangely eerie type of thing, just laying there in the woods. I don’t know why I stayed so calm. I diagnosed the situation: ‘You can’t move right now, can’t feel your legs.’ If anything, it was weird not to have panicked.” Tom Morris, IU assistant strength and conditioning coach
page June 2, more than two weeks after his cousin, Kathy Beaulieu, established it to keep supporters updated on Morris’ status and opportunities to donate toward his expensive recovery. “It’s absolutely unbelievable,” Morris said. “I don’t know what’s more overwhelming — the actual injury or the outpouring of support. It made me realize what the Hoosier Nation is all about and what friends and family are all about.” As of July 25, Tom’s Team had raised $24,312 to easily surpass its goal of $20,000. “I STILL DON’T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED”
Morris described the accident — the cause of which is still unclear to him — and the following recovery days in his Facebook post on the Tom’s Team page June 2. “My goal was to do four laps. However, on the fourth and final lap I went over my handle bars,” he said. “During this time I landed right on my head and cracked my helmet almost in half. I could remember falling and seeing my bike being over my head and landing.” Morris said he could not feel his legs and felt a burning sensation in his arms, which worsened after he unsuccessfully attempted to get his cell phone out of his back pocket for the first hour.
So, he spent the first two hours listening to music and monitoring his heart rate, which he said never went above 120 beats per minute. By the third hour, he was able to stabilize his head by adjusting his helmet. “With the students being gone, it wasn’t surprising that it took so long to actually be found out there,” Morris said. “I was really hoping in the first half an hour, 45 minutes someone would come by.” Nonetheless, he never panicked. “I had no fear,” Morris said. “It was a strangely eerie type of thing, just laying there in the woods. I don’t know why I stayed so calm. I diagnosed the situation: ‘You can’t move right now, can’t feel your legs.’ If anything, it was weird not to have panicked.” Eventually, two riders found Morris and alerted a local police officer. He was then transported to the IU Health Bloomington Hospital for initial treatment
IU junior Bayer wins NCAA title Bayer crowned 1,500m NCAA champ in 3:43.82
Mayhew lifts Hoosiers with record-setting 10K time FROM IDS REPORTS
BY SHANNON IRELAND skirelan@indiana.edu
Andy Bayer won the 1,500-meter race at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, on June 9, giving him his first NCAA title and making him the first outdoor champion from Indiana University since 1993. Bayer finished the race in 3:43.82, crowning him the champion against Brigham Young University’s Miles Batty by just .01 seconds. “This is what I’m going for at every NCAA meet,” Bayer said. “I was set up well with 200 meters to go and I thought, ‘I’m not going to let this go, I’m going to fight to the end,’ and it worked out.” Bayer’s total of 44 points at NCAA meets ranks fifth in IU history. De’Sean Turner took seventh place in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 8:46.04 to become the only Hoosier to earn three First Team All-American honors in the event. Turner missed placing in the top six by just .03 seconds. For his career, Turner has earned First Team All-American honors six times. The two athletes helped IU place 11th with 20 points, the Hoosier men’s best outdoor finish since 1993. Adrien Dannemiller took ninth place in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a finish of 8:47.86, and

Junior Andy Bayer runs in the NCAA Track and Field Championship June 9 in Des Moines, Iowa. Bayer won his first NCAA title winning the 1,500 meter title.
Andrew Poore took 14th with 9:25.95. Both athletes received Second Team All-American honors. Day 3: Two Andy Bayer Hoosiers named IU junior All-Americans in first appearance at NCAA Championships. The third day of the NCAA Track and Field Championships ended with four Hoosiers claiming All-
American honors. Kyla Buckley was named Second Team All-American for her ninth-place finish in the women’s shot put and joins Emma Kimoto (high jump) and Rex Parker and Olu Olamigoke (triple jump) on the Second Team. Buckley recorded a careerbest shotput throw of 16.98 meters to earn the recognition in her first appearance at the NCAA Championships. Kimoto cleared 1.79 meters
for 13th in the high jump. The junior had just one miss as the bar moved up to 1.79 meter. She was on her way to set a new IU record but was unable to clear 1.83 meters in her first appearance at the NCAA Championships. The Hoosier men claimed 13th and 14th in the triple jump. Parker jumped 15.67 meters, and Olamigoke jumped 15.64 meters. In the men’s 5,000-meter race, SEE NCAA, PAGE C3
Indiana’s Zach Mayhew ran neck-and-neck with Wisconsin’s Elliot Krause for 9,700m of the men’s Big Ten Championship 10,000m run on May 11, hosted by the Badgers at the McClimon Complex in Madison, Wis. Mayhew pulled away from Krause with 300m to go, securing a 10,000m Big Ten title and setting a McClimon Complex record with a time of 28:55.06. It was nearly 30 seconds better than the previous complex record. Mayhew becomes the fifth Hoosier to win a Big Ten 10,000m title, joining Andy Bayer, Ben Hubers, Andrew Poore and De’Sean Turner. In the men’s and women’s hammer throw, two Hoosiers narrowly missed the cut for the nine-thrower finals. Dan Galos placed 10th for the men with a throw of 59.27m. Despite setting a personal record with a throw of 55.55m, Monique Riddick suffered a similar fate and placed 10th on the women’s side. More personal bests were set in the woman’s heptathlon. Courtney Woodward notched personal bests in the 100m hurdles, shot put and 200m dash. She finished in seventh place with 3,235 points. Anne-Marie Clark posted personal bests in the high jump (1.52m), shot put (10.36m) and 200m dash (24.51 seconds). She finished in 11th place but is within 169 points of the eight and final scoring point. —Joe Popely

Âť INJURY CONTINUED FROM PAGE C1 and later that night was flown to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for emergency surgery that stabilized his neck by fusing together his C6 and C7 vertebrae with a titanium plate. Morris spent four days in Methodistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Intensive Care Unit before being transferred to Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana. When she first learned of her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident, Christa Morris said she found it difficult to handle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a nervous wreck,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was heartbroken. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my life. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my world. To hear anything that happened to him, it crushed me, destroyed me.â&#x20AC;? Now, things are looking better. STAYING OPTIMISTIC WITH PROGRESS Post-surgery, Morris regained motion in his arms, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands, and was able to eat meals on his own. He could also hold a sandwich with both hands and sit upright in his bed for a few hours per day. Since then, his upper body mobility has improved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strength-wise, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a lot weaker,â&#x20AC;? Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot more mobility in my arms, in all directions. My hand coordination has improved a lot. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still trying to build coordination but work on overall strength for my upper body.â&#x20AC;? Still, it was impossible to tell at the time for doctors to know if Morris will ever be able to walk again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outcomes are really individualized. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really just a big guessing game right now,â&#x20AC;? Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will I ever have leg mobility again? They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really open and honest about that. They are very optimistic about the fact that I have so many good things going on, but there are no pure answers.â&#x20AC;? At the very least, Morris had been experiencing involuntary twitches in his legs and toes, he said. As for his rehab routine, Morris said he generally wakes up at 6:30 a.m. and has his first rehab ses-
sion from 8:30 to 11 a.m. After a lunch break, he engages in more occupational and physical therapy from 1 to 4 p.m. But like he had always done before the accident, Morris put in extra work. In addition to his normal rehab routine, Morris added a voluntary, hour-long exercise session at the RHI gym every day at 5 p.m. so he could gain strength and do some of his own exercises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I always did,â&#x20AC;? Morris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always try to go above and beyond everything and maximize stuff. With the extra downtime, I figure, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What the heck? Get in there.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; With the right amount of sleep and eating right, it allows me to have the energy to get in there and push more and more.â&#x20AC;?
AN OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT Beaulieu, Morrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cousin, is the administrator of the Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team Facebook page and writes posts for it. She was concerned about the high cost of Morrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recovery and created a Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team fundraising website, www.gofundme. com/toms-team for supporters to donate funds that will help subsidize Morrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expensive recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The financial support has been incredible, amazing,â&#x20AC;? Beaulieu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone from family friends to total strangers, people that have never met him, just heard his story and they wanted to help.â&#x20AC;? Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer standout Harrison Petts, a junior, had worked closely with Morris to train for his first triathlon. Morris has participated in
many triathlons before and planned to race in the Hoosierman Triathlon along with his understudy, Petts. Petts said his original goal was to beat Morris in the race, which took place June 10. After the accident, he decided to run the race on his behalf. Based on his finish, Petts raised over $2,300 from pledges. He completed the course in 59:39, top in his age group. Like her husband, Christa was touched by the support she and her husband have received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the bottom of our hearts, we have no idea how we can thank everybody for everything that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have so many people behind your back, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbelievable.â&#x20AC;? Morris said Christa has been by his side ever since the accident and re-
turned to work for a few hours Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never had to help Tom with anything,â&#x20AC;? Christa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tom was always helping me. He was always my rock. Being on the other side knowing I had to be his rock, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difficult part. But just being around him and being around his energy and his positive spirits makes you feel good. He shows you heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be OK.â&#x20AC;? THE TRUE MEANING OF TEAMWORK While Morris is putting extra work into his rehab, he is getting a direct boost from athletes he has mentored, particularly IU soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Petts and Caleb Konstanski. The two, like so many other supporters, wanted to help Morris back on his feet as quickly as possible. And the soccer standouts are interacting with Mor-
ris the way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to, by pumping him up to push harder and harder through his rehab. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The soccer players have been amazing,â&#x20AC;? Christa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came up during rehab, pumping him up and making him work harder, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always someone from IU in Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room, everyday. The Hoosier family has been outstanding.â&#x20AC;? Morris was hired as an assistant strength and conditioning coach in 2010 and works directly with the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball programs, according to Assistant Athletic Director for Broadcast Services Jeremy Gray. Morris has also worked with track and field.
IU athletes, Hoosier family help Morris BY JASON HADDIX jaslhadd@iupui.edu
The IU Athletic Department creed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Spirit of Indiana: 24 Sports, One Team,â&#x20AC;? holds true as Hoosier athletes rally around Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tom Morris, who is recovering from a C6 spinal cord injury he sustained during a mountain bike accident May 17. Morris helps Hoosier studentathletes get bigger, faster and stronger for a living. Some of those he has helped in the past are now stepping up to help him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tom and I have become very close over the past three or four years,â&#x20AC;? said Caleb Konstanski, a senior on the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When this all happened, I wanted to find a way to help him with some money.â&#x20AC;? Konstanski presented the idea of printing T-shirts and selling them to raise money for Morris and his family. He contacted IU senior basketball player Jordan Hullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother about getting the T-shirts made. Bob Costello, owner of the Village Deli at 409 E. Kirkwood Ave. and Hullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; uncle, is a longtime friend of Morrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He organized a fundraiser at the restaurant that took place June 13 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. All proceeds from food sales that day went to Morris and his

family for financial help, Costello said. The Village Deli servers also donated all tip money they received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We peaked at lunch,â&#x20AC;? Costello said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really busy between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Our goal was $10,000 and a guesstimate is we are close to $7,000, and we sill have six hours left.â&#x20AC;? Costello said a mix of regulars and newcomers came in, and that some customers came in for breakfast and then came back for lunch with a group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christa (Morris, Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife) was here on her birthday with some friends to celebrate,â&#x20AC;? Costello said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today it was about the fundraiser,â&#x20AC;? Village Deli server and IU junior Ryan Rowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the servers volunteered to work for minimum wage and no tips today.â&#x20AC;? All of it goes towards the same cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in the process of setting up a trust for Tom,â&#x20AC;? Costello said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are going to use the money for added medical expenses. For example, they need to purchase a wheelchair and any expenses insurance will not cover.â&#x20AC;? Other than food sales, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Teamâ&#x20AC;? T-shirts and wristbands were sold to raise money. Sarah Siler, a sophomore fashion design major, manned the T-shirt table in the afternoon. She said the demand for the T-shirts was so high that they are currently sold out of all sizes except XL.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ordered more shirts that will definitely be in by the weekend,â&#x20AC;? Costello said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can stop by the deli and buy them.â&#x20AC;? HOOSIERMAN TRIATHLON Following in Morrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; footsteps, Harrison Petts, a junior on the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team, competed in the Hoosierman Triathlon on June 10 at the Fairfax State Recreational Area in Bloomington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me and Tom had been training together for the Hoosierman Triathlon just before his accident,â&#x20AC;? Petts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal was to beat him in the race, and then once the accident happened I was trying to think of ways to help.â&#x20AC;? Fundraising efforts at the Hoosierman totled a little more than $2300, based on Pettsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; finish. He completed the course in 59:39, finishing first in his age group and seventh out of 152 overall. During the swim, his adrenaline took over and caused him to swim at a faster pace than he would have liked, Petts said. Once on the bike, he settled down. However, his legs felt heavy as he went into the running phase, which he said he ran slower than desired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little bit nervous,â&#x20AC;? Petts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was still happy I did it in under an hour, which was my goal.â&#x20AC;? WHY WE HELP Petts described ris as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big-brother

Then-sophomore forward Orianica Velasquez takes a long-range shot during IU's 1-0 overtime loss to Wisconsin in 2010 at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
Orianica Velasquez named to Colombian National Team FROM IDS REPORTS
IU women’s soccer standout Orianica Velasquez has been named to the Colombian National Team and will become the first IU women’s soccer player to compete in an Olympics. Velasquez, a native of Bogotá, Colombia, was one of 18 players selected to represent Colombia in the 2012 London Olympics. She will be a senior this fall semester. “I am thrilled to have been able to coach and continue to coach someone that has played in the World Cup and now has the opportunity to represent her home country in the Olympics in London,” IU Head Coach Mick Lyon said. “Ori is a very special
player and person, and to have that caliber of player at Indiana University is what it is all about. This has been a dream of hers from the very beginning, and now she will be able to make it come true.” To prepare for the Olympics, the Colombian national team played four exhibition matches at various sites in Switzerland. Those exhibitions include matches against Canada (July 9), Cameroon (July 11), Brazil (July 14) and New Zealand (July 17). At the Olympics, Colombia competed in Group G against France, North Korea and the United States. In 2012, Velasquez led the Hoosiers in points (16) and goals (7) and was tied for team lead in assists (2).
Velasquez helped Colombia to an appearance in the World Cup last summer. Against North Korea on July 6, 2011, she was named FIFA Player of the Match. That match ended in a scoreless draw, but Colombia earned its first ever World Cup point. Velasquez has 19 goals and eight assists through her first three seasons as a Hoosier. Heading into the 2013 season, Velasquez can move up the all-time IU women’s soccer leader board in several categories. In program history, she is seventh in points (46), fifth in goals (19) and third in shots (198). —Joe Popely
Ben Hubers placed 19th with a time of 14:13.80. He finished just five seconds behind 16th place and earning All-America honors. At the end of the third day, IU’s men found themselves in 25th place with eight points. Day 2: Olympic qualifier Drouin takes second in high jump. Derek Drouin put IU on the board with his secondplace finish in the high jump. The junior cleared 2.31 meters without a miss and left IU tied for 11th with eight points at the end of day two. Drouin now has five toptwo finishes at NCAA meets in his career. In 2009, he was the national indoor runnerup and won three straight NCAA titles from 2010-11. Bayer qualified for the 1,500-meter final, while Poore, Dannemiller and Turner secured their spots in the 3,000-meter
steeplechase final. Bayer finished with a career-best time of 3:39.95 for second in his heat and eighth fastest in IU history. “I felt so relaxed, really good, just made sure I was in the top five that last hundred,” Bayer said. Poore automatically advanced to the finals by finishing fifth in the first heat with a time of 8:42.17. Dannemiller placed seventh in the second heat with a time of 8:42.17, and Turner placed ninth at 8:44.99 to clinch the last spot in the final. It is the second straight year three Hoosier steeplechase runners have advanced to the national final. Kind Butler ran the 200-meter race in 20.57 seconds in the third heat but did not qualify, even though his time was faster than three runners who automatically qualified in earlier heats. Butler’s time would have won the second heat. Ameer Webb (Texas A&M) and
Horatio Williams (Florida State) qualified for the final with times of 20.59 and 20.69 seconds, respectively. The Hoosier men’s 4x400-meter relay team took 18th place in preliminary action with a time of 3:06.98. Butler, anchor of the relay, had a split of 44.58. Day 1: Mayhew earns first All-American honors. Redshirt junior distance runner Zach Mayhew placed 14th in the 10,000-meter run with a time of 29:43.79. With the finish, Mayhew earned Second Team AllAmerican honors, the first All-American honors of his career, and shaved off nearly a minute from his preliminary qualifying time. His first appearance at the NCAA Championships was grueling, as he fought to stay with the pack. Mayhew was only 22 seconds off a top-10 finish. Fifteen other Hoosiers (13 men and two women) joined Mayhew in competition at the championships.

IDS REPORTS
At the NCAA Championships in early June, IU junior Derek Drouin cleared 2.31 meters to finish second. At the Canadian Olympic Trials in Calgary, Alberta, on June 30, Drouin cleared the same height, but this time it earned him a first-place finish and a trip to the Olympics. He accomplished the jump for the third time this season and became the only Hoosier high jumper to ever qualify for the Olympics. He entered as the top seed in the event, and with the jump became the second person in the world to clear that height three times this season. Drouin and Canadian Michael Mason both had Olympic A standard times coming into the race, and needed a top-three finish to qualify. Drouin won and Mason finished second; both are headed to London in August. Drouin will join hurdler Wes Brooker as the second Canadian IU athlete to reach the Olympics. Brooker competed in both the 400-meter hurdles race and the 4x400 relay in Mexico City in 1968. He failed to qualify for the semifinals in both events. Drouin is the 26th Hoosier track and field athlete to go to the Olympics since Leroy Samse and Thad Shideler went to the 1904 St. Louis games. Three other track and field athletes with IU ties — runners Ben Hubers (senior) and Arianne Raby (sophomore) and high-jumper Emma Kimoto (junior) — joined Drouin in Calgary. — Alex McCarthy

“THE ATHLETE I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE” While most north siders’ Cubs fandom is simply a matter of geography, the connection between the Loukas family and Chicago’s National League outfit runs deeper. George Loukas, Christina’s father, owns the Cubby Bear, a fixture of Wrigleyville. When his daughter secured her place in this summer’s Olympics, the popular bar displayed a congratulatory message on the digital marquee that sits just below the neon Cubby Bear insignia. “That was so cool,” Christina said. “I have the picture up in my living room. I’m so fortu-
Former Hoosier field hockey great Kayla Bashore-Smedley is no stranger to building tradition from the ground up. When she first arrived in Bloomington and donned a cream and crimson uniform nearly 11 years ago, the Hoosier program she was joining possessed no history of any kind — it was entering its second year. Four years and a memorable college career later, she had not only picked up a degree in biology, she also became IU’s first — and still sole — recipient of First Team All-America honors and was a centerpiece of the Hoosiers’ first foray into the NCAA Tournament. Bashore-Smedley, who has since borne the Stars and Stripes at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and brushed shoulders with Michael Phelps and LeBron James during the Parade of Nations, again has her sights set on glory. Bashore-Smedley was one of 16 athletes named on June 11 to the roster for the women’s field hockey squad set to represent the U.S. this summer at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. She is also among seven players who will reprise their roles on the Olympic team that competed four years ago and finished eighth overall. This year’s edition of Team USA will seek its first medal in more than a quarter century in women’s field hockey, which has been an Olympic

Hoosier diver Christina Loukas realizes Olympic dream with support of large family, larger Greek community BY BEN SIMMONS benrsimm@indiana.edu
In the northern Chicago neighborhood of Wrigleyville, where the Cubs reign supreme, fans often find comfort in the reassuring refrain, “There’s always next year.” No matter how forgettable the prior season for the “Lovable Losers,” Cubs nation can take solace in knowing that each and every April presents a clean slate and another shot at breaking a World Series drought more than a century in the making. Former IU diver Christina Loukas mounted her second challenge for a gold medal at the London Olympics, knowing full well that a shot at diving’s Holy Grail — her “next year” — will not come again until 2016. “Four years come down to a few minutes,” Christina’s mom, Patty Loukas, said. “It’s quite humbling. But we’re very, very ecstatic and thrilled for her. She’ll always have the title of two-time Olympian under her belt.” Regardless of the fate awaiting her in London, Christina, the standout athlete in a large Greek family full of them, will bring a boisterous contingent of familial support across the pond and have plenty of backing stateside. “The neighborhood, our church, the Greek community — everyone involved has been tremendous,” Patty said. “(IU Diving) Coach Jeff Huber is very supportive. Even her old coaches at Deerfield High School have been great. The whole Olympic thing is surreal. I’d never been
to the Olympics until Christina made it, and I hate to sound trite, but it’s unbelievable. We feel so blessed.” Among those who will make the transatlantic trip are Patty, who attends all of her daughter’s meets, and Stacey Loukas , Christina’s sister. In Beijing four years ago, the two were so vocal in cheering Christina on her way to a ninth-place finish that they were both mic’d by television crews. “There were 15 of us at Beijing pulling for Christina,” Stacey said. “My friends here in the states said they could hear us on TV from their couches. This time around, there should be 30 to 40 of us. We’ll be loud, I can guarantee you.”

» DIVER CONTINUED FROM PAGE C4 nate. Everybody has been so supportive, from the Chicago Fire Department to people I’ve never even met.” A fit family if ever there were one, the Loukas clan alone boasts four college football players, including Angelo Loukas, who played at Northwestern and for the Buffalo Bills, and George, who played at Southern Illinois. Yet Christina’s agility and discipline are of such a caliber that George said of his daughter, “She’s the athlete I always wanted to be.” “The diver,” as Christina has become affectionately known by her younger, admiring cousins, was thrown into athletics from a tender age. However, her mom gives her daughter credit for finding the will within to achieve at a high level, a sentiment Stacey echoed. “We weren’t expected to get scholarships — we all just had fun with it,” Stacey said. “Our parents always had us playing football in the backyard and throwing balls through tires. To this day, all of us first cousins always play flag football or some other sport when we all get together, even in our 30s. But my sister has that elite ability the rest of us don’t have.” On a getaway in Vancouver one summer, the family decided to try fly fishing for the first time. While Stacey hooked her own arm with the line and others ran into similar struggles, Christina commanded the rod with such skill that a bystander downstream might have mistaken her for an extra in A River Runs Through It. The instructor told Christina, who was making her fly fishing debut, that she had the look of a veteran, prompting laughs on the opposite shore from her unsurprised family. “We have always been super competitive, whether it’s video games or board games,” Stacey said. “We pushed each other a lot growing up, but we’ve also supported her since day one. We knew she had incredible talent and needed to put it to good use.” THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN One of four siblings, Christina showcased the raw athletic talent that would
eventually propel her to elite competition. At three, she flipped and flopped her way down the hallways in the family home to the amusement of her onlooking grandparents. Her parents, recognizing her precocity, placed her in gymnastics. As she grew, so did her ability and discipline. By the time she hit 12, she was spending four hours a day after school honing her skill set as a gymnast. Rigorous though the schedule was, she still found time to catch a glimpse of and find inspiration from the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team, a group of girls as uncommonly athletic and regimented as herself. “I remember watching the 1996 Olympics and the ‘Magnificent Seven,’” Christina said. “I loved every single one of those girls: Kerri Strug, Dominique Moceanu, Dominique Dawes. I thought to myself, ‘I want to be in the Olympics.’” Though she continued to excel, she soon ditched the mat and the balance beam for the pool and the diving board. The decision, coupled with her abandonment of basketball and soccer, allowed her to concentrate fully on her budding future in the world of diving, where coaches piqued her interest by telling her that her ceiling was the same stage the Magnificent Seven had used to captivate a nation — the Summer Olympics.
“I remember watching the 1996 Olympics and the ‘Magnificent Seven,’ I loved every single one of those girls ... I thought to myself, ‘I want to be in the Olympics.’”
“THE DIVER” ASCENDS Christina cruised to several honors during a decorated high school career, including Illinois Swimmer/Diver of the Year in 2003. Despite the accolades, she said it wasn’t until she enrolled at IU that she began to realize her potential. “I knew that moving to Indiana was the best thing for me, that I’d finally be putting in the time and effort I should be,” she said. “I had full confidence in Coach Huber in getting me to the level I wanted to go to. My training wasn’t intense before college, but it was totally different at IU. I went from training four to six days a week, twice a day — and I got the results I wanted.” The results speak for themselves: after a promising freshman campaign that saw her earn Big Ten Diver of the Year honors and three All-America certificates at the NCAAs,
she won national titles in the 1-meter event her junior and senior seasons, the latter of which she chose to redshirt to prepare for the Olympic Trials and a chance to compete in Beijing. To book her place on Team USA’s envoy to the Forbidden City, Christina would have to finish near the top of a deep, talented field. To her surprise, she placed first, launching herself off the 3-meter springboard and into IU — and U.S. — diving history. “I was completely shocked that I made the team,” Christina said. “I wasn’t looking at the scoreboard at all during the competition. I ran over and hugged Jeff Huber and started crying because I was so happy, excited, shocked.” In retrospect, she credits the unexpected success to her time in Bloomington. “I owe my first Olympics

to the (IU) team, the program, Coach Huber and everyone there,” Christina said. Though she placed ninth in Beijing, she gained invaluable experience on the international scene and the most prestigious stage in her sport. BURNOUT, THEN RENEWED BELIEF Soon thereafter, however, it became unclear whether she would ever draw upon that experience again. Exhausted by the grueling grind of seemingly ceaseless training, she decided to step away from the slog and reassess her priorities. “I burned out after the Olympics; it had become a never-ending season,” Christina said. “I started having mental blocks with diving. It had gotten really frustrating, and I wasn’t enjoying the sport anymore. After the
season, I just decided to step away from the sport and see if I wanted to keep doing it. I realized I had so many more goals to accomplish.” To help make those goals more attainable, she moved in 2010 to The Woodlands, Texas, and enlisted the expertise of Ken Armstrong, a former Canadian Olympic diver turned U.S. Olympic coach. Patty said that Armstrong, who had already guided American Laura Wilkinson to three Olympic berths and a gold medal in 2000, came out of semi-retirement to strike up a partnership with her daughter. “Kenny has made me have a different mindset,” Christina said. “Before I moved down here, he told me that I should only come down if my goal is to win a gold medal. In 2008, I didn’t even know if I was good enough to be going to the Olympics. Now, I have more belief. I would have been upset if I didn’t make the team. It was more of a relief than anything that (trials) were over. I’m so happy to be done and ready to prepare for London.” While Christina admits to missing Bloomington, she said the change of scenery has been overwhelmingly positive. “As much as I loved Indiana, I had been training there for six years,” Christina said. “Everyone was younger; I felt out of place and needed a change, a new environment. I needed a new set of eyes to help with my diving. I’ve really enjoyed being in Texas, minus the weather. I decided to move down here also in part for Kassidy Cook, who is someone to push me and train with me every day.” Due to the near-decade age gap that divides Christina, 26, and Kassidy, 17, the formation of “Kasstina,” a moniker that has been the subject of hashtags on Loukas’ Twitter account, may have seemed unlikely. But the friendly competition, along with the unwavering, continuing encouragement from her family, has been instrumental in helping Christina flourish in Texas. BASHFUL YET BUOYANT Away from the pool, the most accomplished Loukas athlete might also be the most modest. “Hungry but humble,” as
her mother describes her, Christina rarely, if ever, mentions any of her numerous accomplishments as a diver. Once, when wearing an Olympic ring that attracted a curious inquiry from a stranger, she answered in such unassuming fashion that Stacey felt compelled to interject on her sister’s behalf. “She was asked if she was wearing it simply because she liked the Olympics, and she said yes,” Patty said. “Her sister had to butt in and tell him, ‘She’s an Olympian!’ Christina has always liked to perform, but she’s also always been so humble.” Ahead of her jaunt to London, Christina said she compiled the confidence to complement her humility, and her most ardent supporters agree. Patty says she appears more mature than four years ago, having undertaken a stricter training regimen and begun living by herself, free from the distractions of a college town. For her part, Stacey, who said she and her siblings visit Christina in Texas often, has also seen her sister’s maturation first hand. “She knows what to expect,” Stacey said. “She knows all the girls she’ll be diving against. I don’t think her nerves will be on her mind as much as the first time around. I talked to her just a few days ago, and she’s really excited and just wants to have fun.” For Christina, who acted as an international athletic ambassador for IU, suburban north Chicago and the Greek community, the agonizing wait for her return to competition under another set of familiar rings — the five intertwined Olympic ones — is over From August 3 to 5, she repeatedly plunged acrobatically into a still, deep blue sea from a height of 3 meters, hoping that when she resurfaced, she would emerge on the summit of the podium — and at the top of the sport she fell out of love with, only to embrace it again. “We’re so proud of her already,” Stacey said. “It’s a crazy, cheerful situation, and I know she’s worked so hard. “She’s put her life on hold for diving, so for her to win a gold medal would be the absolute.”

IU sweeps in final series at Sembower BY JOE POPELY jpopely@indiana.edu
About six minutes before first pitch on May 19, IU learned that Michigan State earlier that day had beaten Penn State, 8-2. The Spartans’ victory handed IU the twoseed and a first-round bye in the Big Ten Tournament before the Hoosiers took the field. Not that it deterred the Hoosiers (30-26, 16-8 in conference) from going for the win. The team made its third comeback victory in four games to sweep Ohio State (31-25, 11-13 in conference) on senior day. It was the team’s final game at Sembower Field. “It’s huge, carries on to the tournament,” designated hitter Dillon Dooney said of the win. “We’re rolling right now, everyone’s hitting. We said before the game, ‘Let’s put on one more show for the fans and take this one last time at Sembower.’” The team entered the tournament on a roll, having won its last six games, 10 of its last 12 conference games and four
straight conference series. The Hoosiers would have to be the Boilers twice to capture the conference tournament title, but lost. “I think strategically to have the second seed is very important,” Head Coach Tracy Smith said. “It does allow you to kick back one less pitcher. I was absolutely thrilled that we got that two-seed because we were so darn close and we’ve been playing well.” Some players said they were happy to finish IU baseball’s tenure at Sembower on a winning note. “It’s huge. I love it,” IU starting pitcher Chad Martin said. “It’s a great way to send off the field. I don’t know if the guys will miss it with that new, fancy stadium coming in, but it’s great that we can look back and say that in the last game here we got a win.” Tied at two entering the bottom of the eighth, IU first baseman Sam Travis started the winning rally with a one-out single off OSU righthander Josh Desze and advanced to second on an error. Pinch-runner Will Nolden replaced Travis at second and scored the go-ahead run on a
Dooney RBI single. A Michael Basil RBI single to left made it 4-2. Righthander Johnny Hoffman (7-1) worked the final 2.1 innings for the win. Lefthander Andrew Armstrong (0-1) took the loss for OSU. Martin was able to keep his composure during what appeared to be a blown call when Ohio State’s David Corna was called safe at home. “It’s my last college game on my home field, and I really wanted to send it off with a bang,” Martin said. “Obviously, things didn’t go the way I wanted it early, but I just fought back to keep us in the game.” After allowing a run in each of the first two innings, Martin was able to toss 4.2 straight scoreless frames. In total, he lasted 6.2 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits, with six strikeouts, two walks and a hit batsman. “He took control of the game,” Smith said. “That’s what seniors should do on senior day. I’m happy for him because we’re going to need him as we roll into this thing.”

Four Hoosier leadoff hitters reached base, and twice those runners scored. Indiana got the scoring started in the second inning. Johnson doubled and Dooney singled to open the inning. Johnson then scored and Dooney moved to third after two MSU throwing errors. With two outs, Nolden singled, scoring Dooney and giving the Hoosiers a 2-0 lead.

After competing in the Cape Cod League last summer, Johnson felt soreness in his right elbow to start his junior campaign and had surgery March 7, causing him to miss nearly two months of the regular season. He appeared in just 24 games in 2012, hitting .212 with one home run and 10 RBI. He was 7-for-9 in stolen bases and scored 14 runs. During his freshman season in 2010, Johnson hit .312 and had his best year from a power standpoint, slugging 11 home runs and driving in 42 . He struggled at third base, though, posting a .909 fielding percentage and committing a career-high 17 errors.

Basil’s heroics sets up Tourney rematch with Purdue BY JASON HADDIX
jaslhadd@imail.iu.edu COLUMBUS, OHIO – It took eleven innings for Indiana to defeat Michigan State on May 26 for the second time in the Big Ten Tournament and advance to the championship round. Both wins were the result of late inning hits by shortstop Michael Basil. Second baseman Micah Johnson led off the eleventh inning with a walk and advanced to second on a Dillon Dooney sacrifice bunt. Basil followed with a one out single to center that scored Johnson and gave the Hoosiers a 4-3
lead they would not give up. Righty Ryan Halstead (42) pitched 1.2 scoreless innings in relief for the win. Tony Wieber (2-2) took the loss for MSU. The loss eliminated the Spartans from the tournament. IU (32-27) and MSU (3721) played to a 3-3 tie before teams scored in a drama filled ninth inning. Indiana got to Purdue starter Mick VanVossen in the ninth. After two quick outs, third baseman Dustin DeMuth doubled to leftcenter field. Bryce Jenney then replaced VanVossen on the mound. IU took a 3-2 lead when DeMuth scored
on a Will Nolden single to left. In the bottom half, Jonny Hoffman came in to pitch for IU Starter Chad Martin after Martin allowed the first two Spartan hitters to reach base. MSU scored the tying run on a Hoffman throwing error. He then loaded the bases with an intentional walk to Krill. For the second time in the game, IU’s defense rescued its pitcher.

IU defeats Louisville, falls to Kentucky BY BEN SIMMONS benrsimm@indiana.edu
As yet another commanding early lead against archrival Louisville threatened to vanish, the Hoosiers received a shot in the arm from one of the unlikeliest of sources— their least experienced netter. After seizing an initial 3-0 lead, IU struggled to find the crucial point until sophomore Dimitrije Tasic completed a huge second set comeback and clinched IU’s 4-2 defeat of the Cardinals May 11 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. For IU Head Coach Bloemendaal and the seniors on the squad, none of whom had ever recorded a victory against Louisville or advanced in the NCAA Tournament, the triumph in Lexington, Ky., was especially cathartic. “It’s been a long time coming,” Bloemendaal said. “Everybody’s pretty pumped about the win—Louisville was a monkey on our back. The seniors had experienced four years of them getting the better of us in different ways and us scratching our heads. To win the way Dima [Tasic] came back and won, they’re going to get excited about it,
» PURDUE CONTINUED FROM PAGE C7 IU’s lead didn’t last long. The Spartans scored two runs in the bottom of the second. Torsten Boss led off with a walk and moved to third on John Martinez’s double. A Ryan Krill sacrifice fly scored Boss, and Martinez came home on a single by Fisher that tied it at 2. After the offense for both teams showed up in the second the stating pitchers took over. Martin did not allow a run the rest of his outing. He lasted a career-long eight innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on four
but more in a momentum sort of way. It’s just like, ‘Finally, we’ve made a separation with this team.’ And if anything, we had a chance to completely dominate them; Louisville did a heck of a job to keep fighting.” Before Tasic or any of his cream and crimson-clad comrades suited up in singles action, IU captured the doubles point through a pair of victorious results. Josh MacTaggart and Alastair Barnes cruised to an 8-3 win against the Cards’ Sebastian Stiefelmeyer and Robert Hall at No. 2, setting the stage for seniors Stephen Vogl and Will Kendall to seize the advantage heading into singles play with a late-charging 8-4 dismissal of Adam Donaldson and Michael Lippens at No. 3. The Hoosiers appeared to maintain the momentum in the majority of the sextet of individual battles that ensued; to lead off singles play, Isade Juneau and Vogl registered straight set victories at No. 1 and No. 4 against Andrew Carter and Michael Lippens, respectively, earning IU a 3-0 advantage. However, the certainty of the match’s outcome became murkier as it progressed. At Nos. 3 and 5, seniors Jeremy hits with one strikeout and one walk. VanVossen limited IU’s offense until the ninth, lasting 8.2 innings while surrendering three runs (two earned) on eight hits with two strikeouts and one walk. IU started its conference tournament run May 24 with a 6-4 come-from-behind victory against fifth-seeded Michigan State at Huntington Park in Columbus, Ohio. By beating the Spartans, IU set up a date with top-seeded Purdue. On May 25, the Boilers sent IU to the loser’s bracket with a 3-0 win, forcing the Hoosiers into an elimination game and rematch with the Spartans the following day. Once again, IU came from be-
Langer and Kendall fell in straight sets within moments of one another, closing the lead to a much less assured 3-2 mark. With MacTaggart trading barbs (and sets) with Stiefelmeyer at No. 2 and Tasic floundering and down 5-1 in the second stanza opposite Luis Elizondo at No. 6, the prospect of another NCAA exit and defeat to the Cardinals suddenly seemed a possibility for IU. The Serbian sophomore took five of the last six games from Elizondo and then prevailing in an ultra-tense 8-6 second set tiebreak, finally ending years of futility against Louisville. “To come through in that situation was so tough,” Bloemendaal said of Tasic. “The crowd was outrageous today. The Louisville people weren’t your typical tennis crowd—they were cheering dirty a little bit, cheering between points, hanging over the fence. We had a lot of Indiana people there, too, though, and it really was a total team effort. To do that well despite not having great days from two of our seniors makes a big statement.” The breakthrough, which also ended a twelve-year hind to win. Junior shortstop Michael Basil smacked the go-ahead single to center that scored second baseman Micah Johnson and gave IU a 4-3 lead they would not give up. With its second tournament win over the Spartans, IU advanced to the final round for a rematch with Purdue. Indiana would have to take on the undefeatedin-tournament Boilers -- just hours after beating MSU -and beat Purdue twice in a row to capture a Big Ten Tournament title. Facing elimination, Indiana lost a wild back-and-forth contest 6-5, knocking the team out of the tournament and ending its season.

drought of NCAA Tournament victories for the program, not only set the program mark for single-season wins, but also vaulted the Hoosiers (24-9. 7-4) into the second round for the first time since IU defeated Kentucky in the opening round in 2000. Coincidentally, the No. 26 Hoosiers faced the Wildcats,
who were ranked sixth in the nation, in the second round on May 12. “The Louisville match is one that propels us to get ready for Kentucky,” Bloemendaal said before facing Kentucky. “We needed something to boost us up to play a top 10 team. Kentucky will be ready, but so will we.”
In a match which mirrored the rivalry’s other encounter earlier this season, a 7-0 setback in January, the Hoosiers were defeated by the Wildcats, 4-0, failing to record a single point despite threatening on several occasions to spoil championship-chasing, sixth-ranked Kentucky’s day in front of a partisan crowd.

four RBIs, including a key, bases-clearing double in the seventh that cut Ohio State’s lead to 8-5, while Dooney finished the day 4-5 with two RBIs. Even with the Hoosiers’ success, Smith refuses to let his team get overconfident. “The regular season’s over now. I don’t care if it’s two-seed, one-seed, six, five,” Smith said. “Everybody is trying to win at this point.” IU started its conference tournament run May 24 with a 6-4 victory against Michigan State in Columbus, Ohio. Beating the Spartans, IU set up a date with top-seeded Purdue. On May 25, the Boilers sent IU to the loser’s bracket with a 3-0 win, forcing them

CONTINUED FROM PAGE C7
CONTINUED FROM PAGE C4 sport since 1980. Upon receiving the news she had made the cut, Bashore-Smedley said she entered a state of pure euphoria and began to soak in the surreal truth: She will be a twotime Olympian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you hear the congratulations, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jitters and a feeling of excitement and adrenaline,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the initial emotions subside, though, you feel relieved. As an athlete, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ultimate goal. What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always striving for is to make the Olympics. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been training for the last four years, so knowing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually made the team is an incomparable feeling.â&#x20AC;? In recent years, BashoreSmedley has made a name for herself as a mainstay in midfield for Team USA, which, despite a slightly more elevated profile than her collegiate outfit, is still chasing not only recognition but also medals. Despite a dry spell for the squad in previous Olympics, Bashore-Smedley and her compatriots produced the most promising display in decades for the American squad in Beijing. By dropping only two matches of the six it played, the 2008 incarnation of Team USA created a potential springboard from which to pursue podium awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To win a medal, we have to capitalize on times when we have momentum,â&#x20AC;? Bashore-Smedley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always going to be up at some point, and you have to be aware and take advantage of those moments. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to say to ourselves, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have to win this play, win this half, win this game,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and keep in the moment.â&#x20AC;? Whether or not Team USA returns from England with shiny medallions around the necks of its players, BashoreSmedley said she believes this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad is poised for greater success than the one that appeared in Beijing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a group comprised entirely of Olympic first-timers. In retrospect, she admits the team might

have been alternately wide-eyed and naĂŻve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all rookies in Beijing and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect,â&#x20AC;? Bashore-Smedley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we walked into the opening ceremonies as one with all of Team USA, there was such a strong sense of pride. Everybody chanting before we went in was the best feeling. Then on the field, as we were getting ready to play Argentina and it was raining during the national anthem, everything became reality all of a sudden. I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve arrived.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Once the pomp and circumstance dissipated and gave way to the competition, Bashore-Smedley said she and her teammates quickly learned lessons that tested their mettle and will serve them well in London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every minute, every goal really matters in how you finish and place,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could compare it to the Final Four. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just happy to get there the first time, but the second time you go, you really want to win it. We lacked a little bit of experience in 2008, and I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more ready this time around to capitalize on certain situations.â&#x20AC;? Of the players on 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more seasoned roster, nine of the 16 athletes named to Team USA hail from Pennsylvania. But unlike the geographical connections, the squad membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ages vary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the girls on the team have taken a year off from college. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known them for a year, maybe two,â&#x20AC;? said Bashore-Smedley, who turns 30 next February, of her re-
lationship with Team USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other half Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known since 2008. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a mix of ages. I think the difference in age makes it so each group learns from the other. We take the best of both worlds to help us develop.â&#x20AC;? One of the key figures in Bashore-Smedleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own development was current IU Head Coach Amy Robertson, whom Bashore-Smedley called â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of my favorite coaches of all time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She takes time to care for each player individually, which I think sets her apart from most other coaches,â&#x20AC;? she said of Robertson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always admired that in her.â&#x20AC;? The culmination of Bashore-Smedleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career in Bloomington under Robertson, a send-off in the form of an upset of highly ranked North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament, came after the previous three years of losing seasons. The lesson imparted to her by her by a tough record is one the Hoosier star said she takes to heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have done it all the same way again,â&#x20AC;? BashoreSmedley said, after confessing that while the sheer volume of defeats took their toll, the end result was well worth the wait. At IU, persistence, a strong work ethic and experience ultimately landed her and her teammates an Elite Eight appearance. Across the pond, she and another batch of colleagues will look to the same qualities later this summer to realize her latest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and loftiest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; goal: a spot on the podium among the finest in her sport.
In 2011, Johnson moved to second, where he drastically improved his defense. He raised his fielding percentage to .954, 45 points higher than his 2010 percentage. He also committed five fewer errors than during the previous season. Offensively, Johnson raised his batting average by 23 points to .335, while his on-base percentage rose to .402 from .366 in 2010. He was also 19-of-22 in stolen bases, earning him a spot on the All-Big Ten Second Team. An Indianapolis native and Park Tudor High School graduate, Johnson was picked as a Third Team preseason All-American for 2012. During his three seasons at IU, he combined for a .308 batting average, 15 home runs, 86 RBI and 32 stolen bases in 40 attempts in 133 games.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank everyone all my friends especially family mom and dad sisters girlfriend dog coaches everyone!!,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said via Twitter. Chad Martin was taken by the north-side Chicago Cubs 23 picks after Johnson became a south-sider. The Cubs used their 10th-round pick (314th overall) on the senior right-hander. After spending his freshman and sophomore seasons at Vincennes University, Martin transferred to IU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked my tail off in junior college and (IU) Coach (Ty) Neal came to see me, invited me up to Bloomington,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I absolutely loved the campus, it was unbelievable. The coaches were not telling me what I wanted to hear, they were being realistic.â&#x20AC;? While at IU, Martin had a record of 4-8 with a 4.08 ERA. He pitched in 139 innings through 36

Bloomington-based funk/rock band The Main Squeeze released its first CD this summer. Members include bassist Willie Robinson (above left), lead singer Corey Frye (above right and above), guitarist Max Newman, keyboardist Ben “Smiley” Silverstein and drummer Reuben Gingrich. The group has gained a local and even national following after earning a performance slot at the Summer Camp Music Festival in May and playing a set at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival this summer.

wo days before its long-awaited CD release show, Bloomington band The Main Squeeze gathered in a band member’s apartment for a humble dinner of chocolate milk and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. On the mantle sat a yellow novelty check for 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, the prize for winning first place in the Venetian Macao’s International Jazz and Blues Fest Battle of the Bands in China. From May 25 to 27, The Main Squeeze competed with 11 bands and returned to the United States with a newfound following. “That’s $5 American,” drummer Reuben Gingrich said jokingly about the prize. “Thirty-two thousand-ish,” keyboardist Ben “Smiley” Silverstein clarified, staring gleefully at the colorful banknote. “The people just went nuts,” guitarist Max Newman said. “It had been like 50 to 100 people watching the stage all day. For our set, we just began amassing people, and people and more people. By the end of our set, there must have been...” “Twenty percent of the Chinese population,” Silverstein said with a SEE MAIN SQUEEZE, PAGE D8

10 Hoosiers, no instruments Gentleman’s Rule take to Youtube with mash-ups BY JACLYN LANSBERY jlansber@indiana.edu
Ten male voices chime in to form the first few notes of Johann Pachelbel’s “Canon.” Just as the bride and groom are about to say their vows, a silence breaks the flow of violins in one of the most popular wedding songs. Then, unexpectedly, singer Jesse Townes starts to sing Nelly’s 2001 pop hit “Ride Wit Me” in pitchperfect a cappella. What results is “Pachanelly Canon,” a mash-up sung by the 10-man group Gentleman’s Rule uploaded on YouTube at midnight on June 18. The video now has more than 275,000 views and counting. Although Gentleman’s Rule is “based in Chicago” according to the group’s official website, all members are IU alumni and reside in Bloomington. The members are also former singers of the all-male Indiana University Straight No Chaser. Dan Ponce, founder of the Straight No Chaser that signed with Atlantic Records in 2008, arranged the music for the mash-up. “Combining Nelly and Pachelbel’s ‘Canon’ makes no sense whatsoever, and that’s why I did it,” said Ponce, who also works as a reporter for WGN-TV and as radio show host for WLS-AM in Chicago. It was in summer 2011 when the members of Gentleman’s Rule began to rehearse as a group. The 10 guys crowded inside one member’s small bedroom and practiced to the notes of a piano attached to a computer. About a month later, Ponce asked if they wanted to be on his indie label, Arena Child Records. At the beginning of July, the group started recording its album at Airtime Studios in Bloomington, and will embark on a national tour with the quartet Under the Streetlamp, which Ponce will include on his label. Ponce said he thought it would take a month for “Pachanelly” to receive about half of its current viewership. “Nowadays, that’s how it’s done,” he said. “You don’t need a music video to blow up on MTV, you need it to blow up YouTube. That’s where people go to find their music videos.”

Chicago-based Gentleman’s Rule is an a cappella group made up of IU alumni. The group is gaining success with their YouTube mashup of Pachelbel’s “Canon” and Nelly’s “Ride Wit Me.”
“We’re an a cappella band, we’re trying to be pegged as something more than that, so we can kind of mesh mainstream music with what we have been doing, even though it’s a cappella.” Jesse Townes, member of Gentleman’s Rule
The four-minute and ninesecond long video, produced by Winky Productions, starts with a bride and groom who are about to say their vows until Townes, who sings tenor one, breaks into a melodious rendition of “Ride Wit Me.” The rest of the members, including Main Squeeze frontman Corey Frye, join in on the song’s most memorable line: “Must be the money.” The video, set in Chicago, finishes with a bridal party dance-off inside a reception hall. “I think the video incorporates everything that people want in a good music video,” said Ponce, who is Gentleman’s Rule creative director. “There’s humor, it’s a really clever combination of music that have nothing to do with each other, and it’s shot really, really well.” But before the group found YouTube success, the majority of the members who are now part of Gentleman’s Rule auditioned for “The Sing-Off ” last summer. “The Sing-Off ” is an NBC show in which several a capella groups compete for a contract with Sony Music Entertainment. Tenor two Brent Mann said they called themselves “TBA” for “To Be Announced” before Frye, who sings tenor
one, thought of the name. Now, one of the show’s producers, Deke Sharon, will work with the group for its album, said member TJ Breen, who sings tenor two. “It’s kind of weird,” Breen said. “We started just because we thought OK, we should audition for the show. We didn’t make it, we were pretty bummed about it, and then we’re working with (Sharon).” Other than two original songs, the album will also feature covers of songs by The Script, OneRepublic, B.o.B., The Rolling Stones, Outkast and other well-known artists. The video’s popularity caused some sites to refer to Gentleman’s Rule as a boy band. However, “boy band” is an image that the group wants to embrace. “Unfortunately a cappella music itself has such a nerdychoir-boy type of reputation anyways,” Townes said. “And so that’s why we’re trying not to necessarily peg ourselves as just an a cappella group. We’re an a cappella band, we’re trying to be pegged as something more than that, so we can kind of mesh mainstream music with what we have been doing, even though it’s a cappella.” Baritone Will Lockhart
said they want to explore different background beats to their music — hip-hop, stomps and claps “to make it more fun, to make the audience go crazy.” But right now, the group members said they are focused on learning repertoire as best they can. At one point, the group hopes to release an album with all original music.
“Whether that’s written by Dan or by a lot of the guys in the group is to be said, I think,” Mann said. “But as we’re approaching it right now, that’s a huge concern for the group, and that’s something we really want to explore is for us to write our own music.” Ponce said he hopes Gentleman’s Rule, whether considered a band or a group,
will attract the same variety of audience that Straight No Chaser has since both groups originated at IU. “You never turn on the radio and hear a cappella music,” he said. “That just doesn’t happen. I want to change that.” Andrew Morstein, who sings tenor one, is the only member who majored in vocal performance at the IU Jacobs School of Music. The rest of the members — with the exception of Breen, who minored in music — all studied different subjects. But for most of the members, being a part of Straight No Chaser during their undergraduate education provided a musical outlet. “The unique thing about what we do is that we’re singing with our 10 best friends,” Breen said. “And that’s what we love to do. And we started singing, and we had no expectations of this being our career.” Ponce said Gentleman’s Rule will not gain overnight success. “But they have the talent and the energy to make it happen, and I think with a cappella it’s so much more than having great voices,” he said. “You have to have great writing, great producing and great energy, start to finish. Otherwise, it’s not going to happen.”

“I think in general art is important. It broadens horizons, and you get to experience other places without going there. This is teaching you things while also giving a pleasant experience.” Sameer Patil, IU post-doctoral student
IU Art Museum celebrates summer BY RACHEL WISINSKI rlwisins@indiana.edu
During her first trip to the United States, Sulabha Patil found herself at the IU Art Museum. To celebrate the summer solstice, which occurred June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, Patil joined patrons of all ages for the annual Midsummer Night event at the museum on June 22. Sulabha’s son, Sameer Patil, recommended they attend the event while she was in town. Since April 2011, Sameer has been at IU completing post-doctoral work in computer science at the School of Informatics. Art associated with the summer spirit and nighttime were displayed in all three permanent collection galleries for the event. A native of India, Sulabha said the evening would have been improved only if a guided tour were available. “When you’re seeing and reading about the pieces you don’t come to know many things,” she said. Regardless, Sulabha said she enjoyed the handiwork and handicraft the items on display depicted. Sameer said he would have liked to see a special exhibit for the night or the theme-oriented works more distinguished within the galleries. “I think in general art is important,” Sameer said. “It broadens horizons, and you get to experience other places without going there. This is teaching you things
Museum artwork captures spirit of summer solstice while also giving a pleasant experience.” Local singer and guitarist Curtis Cantwell Jackson entertained the crowd in the Thomas T. Solley Atrium. In addition to supporting his friend Jackson, Duncan Searle attended the event to catch up with acquaintances. Besides a particular interest in the solar cycle, he said he also appreciated the atmosphere the museum provided. “I think it’s an important social link,” Searle said. “I like these receptions they have in the atrium periodically.” IU senior Emily Izzo is an event coordinator for the IU Art Museum and has studied some of the pieces on display in her arts management classes. Izzo was familiar with the oil canvas “Judith with the Head of Holofernes” by Antiveduto Gramatica. She said the event is a chance for others to be familiar with the works as well. “I think it’s nice because it’s highlighting pieces from the permanent collection,” Izzo said. “People may have come here before, but now they get to look at them more in depth and learn about them instead of just browsing.” Some of the other high-
lighted works included Rockwell Kent’s wood engraving “Twilight of Man,” a Greek “Amphora (Storage Jar)” using black-figure technique and Baining peoples’ “Night Mask, Kavat,” made of bark cloth. After about a half hour, more than 200 people had showed up. Izzo said this surpassed her expectations, despite the night’s purpose. “We’re celebrating the shortest night of the year,” she said. “It’s a chance to get a big crowd in here and make an event out of the night. I would say this is a place of attraction in the community.” Diane Pelrine, associate director for curatorial services and curator of the third-floor gallery — Arts of Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas — was happy to see people in the galleries despite the music and the amount of people. “We’re usually not open in the evenings, so this is a chance for people to come after work,” she said. “Also, parking is easier on the weekends, so that draws in the community because it’s more accessible.” With Jackson’s final notes echoing through the atrium, some guests submitted their comments about the event to a computer kiosk and parted ways for the evening. “This art museum is one of the top university museums in the country,” Pelrine said. “This attracts them for the music, food and drink, but hopefully they realize it’s a place they might be interested to visit a second time.”

Jacobs School quartet wins contest, broadens opportunities BY RACHEL WISINSKI rlwisins@indiana.edu
It was a weekend Justin Polyblank, Chris Elchico, Steven Lawhon and Marti Comas will never forget. Competing against 48 ensembles from around the world, IU’s Barkada Saxophone Quartet won the $7,500 Grand Prize for the 2012 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in May. Performing together since September 2011, the boys also took home the Gold Medal in the Senior Wind Division, which consisted of a $3,000 cash prize. Founded in 1973, the Fischoff Competition has become the largest chamber music competition in the world. A winner is chosen in both the wind and string ensembles. These winners then face off for the Grand Prize. “We were absolutely astonished to have won the Grand Prize because typically it’s awarded to the String Division,” Polyblank said. “It’s unbelievable. It’s been 10 years since a wind group has won. It’s usually so hard to win over the string judges. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling.” Having competed in the Fischoff Competition two times previously, Polyblank was hungry for more. He said it has been a dream of his to have a professional chamber ensemble as part of his career. On the way to fulfilling this dream, the Barkada Saxophone Quartet members met by chance last fall and toyed with the idea of playing together. What followed was unexpected. “It’s a blessing to be able to do this now, especially with four people who are extremely different,” Elchico said. “We have a great time hanging out with each other, and it’s only going to get better. I’m just happy we’re able
to make music and share it with other people.” For Polyblank, the win drastically altered his postgraduation plans. He had intended to move to Los Angeles and look for different musical opportunities with the possibility of starting an ensemble with Elchico, a California native. However, the group earned the opportunity to participate in the Winner’s Tour of the Midwestern United States beginning in October, as well as an all-expensepaid trip to play at the Emilia Romagna Festival in Italy in 2013. Elchico said the money is to be split among the quartet members, but they are still unsure whether it will be used toward future projects for the group. “It’s still taking me a while to wrap my head around the whole thing,” he said. “I’m excited to see what happens in the next year and after that.” Each member of the quartet has studied with IU saxophone professor Otis Murphy. “It’s important to mention there’s an element of me working with them, but I spend a tiny fraction of time compared to how much time they spend practicing,” Murphy said. “They spend hours a day together in addition to individually practicing. They took a lot of time developing as a group, and the hard work paid off.” Murphy said he was receiving calls and texts constantly throughout the competition as he was at a conference in California this past weekend and could not attend. “I was in touch with them moments before they played,” he said. “They had to pick their repertoire for each round, and they would ask my advice similar to a football coach. It touched me and I truly felt part of this important event. They

are humble and wonderful students, and I appreciate that they trusted me in that capacity.” The ensemble members had nothing but positive things to say about studying with Murphy. “He has been an incredible inspiration and teacher,” Polyblank said. “Without the individual instruction we wouldn’t have been able to come up with the group concept that has taken us in the direction we have gone.” Elchico had auditioned for the Jacobs School a couple years ago in hopes of studying with Murphy. In fall 2011, he finally got his wish. “Coming here has been extremely motivating to be around so many amazing musicians,” he said. “Professor Murphy strives to create a family in the studio, and it’s amazing to be able to go to any person regardless of age or degree and ask for advice. It’s a really great learning environment. It has influenced not only my playing but me as a person, and I can honestly say I’m really thankful.” Murphy said that while the saxophone is typically viewed as a jazz instrument, one of the amazing things about this competition is that it was exhibited in the classical capacity. “As a saxophone quartet, they are ambassadors,” Murphy said. “They are very talented young musicians. They have really refined themselves as a group to get this tremendous prize, and I’m very hopeful they will make a difference in the classical saxophone scene. I’m excited for them and their potential.”

Baking naan bread takes less than two minutes. Naan, a traditional Indian flatbread, is made of nine ingredients that Bombay Café chef Ram Singh combines to produce naan for curries and sauces. After pressing the dough with a pair of long tongs inside a cylindrical clay oven, called a tandoor, Singh slides the lid open and pulls out a flaky, crisp piece of naan. During the afternoon on June 23, a line of people waited outside the Bombay Café tent during the 30th Annual Taste of Bloomington.

place in Showers Common next to City Hall. Until late evening, 11 live bands played on two stages. Ron Stanhouse, co-director of the Taste, said the event’s committee added an extra band to the country stage and almost doubled the site’s square footage since last year. “It’s a year-round process, but the committee’s pretty good,” said Stanhouse, who is also a manager at The Crazy Horse Food and Drink Emporium, which had its own tent. “They’ve put in a lot of time, and they know their job. It helps make the Taste come off as well as it does.” More than 100 volunteers
work almost year-round for the event. To prepare, Bombay Café owner Rabari Singh, Ram’s nephew, shelled out $3,500 for the tandoor and a hefty price for a machine that makes flavored shaved ice. “There’s a lot that goes into it on his end,” Stanhouse said. “We know how it will go. We know we don’t have to worry about this or that. But these new guys have to sweat every detail.” After Rabari opened and closed a Quiznos on the east side of Bloomington, he opened Bombay Café in early January. During a routine SEE TASTE, PAGE D8

Beverly Bounce House stands outside a Rally's restaurant. Lyrics about the chain restaurant have appeared in his raps.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weird enoughâ&#x20AC;? for Bloomington Bloomington rapper maintains Internet presence, gains local following BY JACLYN LANSBERY | jlansber@indiana.edu
L
o-fi rapper Beverly Bounce House is Alex Swartzentruber. The 24-year-old Goshen, Ind., native first called himself Bounce House three years ago. On his 21st birthday, a friend gave him a card that read, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beverly Bounce House.â&#x20AC;? But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until spring 2011 that Beverly, or Bevy for short, braved the stage alone at Rachaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ where a friend and fellow musician asked him to play the acoustic guitar for a show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to rap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Bevy, smiling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, it was funny.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the rapper, who has performed in genres ranging from pop-punk to experimental to folk bands since middle school, to release his two mixtapes on his Bandcamp account and a YouTube collection of more
than 60 videos. His Facebook following consists of almost 900 friends alongside a Twitter account with 304 followers. Known for performing with his hype man (an individual who fires up the crowd for the main act) Kurdus Conrad at house parties, Bevy, at least as a rapper, has never been paid to perform. Bevy transferred from Purdue University his sophomore year after he was unable to produce any music with people he says â&#x20AC;&#x153;werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t weird enough for me.â&#x20AC;? After graduating from IU in 2011 with degrees in Spanish and English with a focus in poetry, he eventually began teaching English as a second language parttime at Learning Plus, Inc., a Korean institute in the same building as Rachaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to build up enough of a name to get people to come up to your shows that are venue shows,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play mostly house shows so people can come and see me for free, and they laugh and have fun and stuff.â&#x20AC;? When Bevy did try to approach his music with a career in mind, he says he experienced writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block and became stressed. His two mix tapes, which are downloadable for free, were released in 2011. Bevyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first mixtape, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry Mom,â&#x20AC;? was put online in spring 2011 and consists of 14 songs. Many of the songs are matched to YouTube videos Bevy films with friends. In the YouTube video titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;TEXT ME IM DRUNK AND I DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WANNA SEE BOUNCE HOUSE, PAGE D9

Kerouac comes to stage First adaptation of writer’s work debuts in Bloomington BY BARB ANGUIANO beanguia@indiana.com
Writer Chris Jefferies said he has always been a fan of beatnik author Jack Kerouac. Kerouac became a household name in the late 1950s and early 1960s for his novel “On the Road.” “I started reading Kerouac books in the ’80s,” Jefferies said. “Most were out of print by then, of course, but every time I went to a used bookstore I would look for his books. I kept hearing about ‘Maggie Cassidy’ but could never find it.” Jefferies, a Yale graduate, finally found the book. His musical adaptation of “Maggie Cassidy,” which was commissioned by Seattle-based A Contemporary Theatre, debuted May 18 at the Bloomington Playwrights
Project. Jefferies said he received support from the Jack Kerouac estate to write the first stage version of a Kerouac novel. “On the Road,” a film debuting this year is the first bigscreen movie adaptation of a Kerouac novel. But a Kerouac musical? “Most people would assume that, as a musical, there would be a lot more wild jazz that (Kerouac) models himself after,” Jefferies said. “This is modeled after America with swing still on the radio and even older stuff. I feel that the question that great musicals ask is ‘What is America?’ The conflict within Jack Kerouac is which American dream to follow.” Like a lot of Kerouac’s work, “Maggie Cassidy” is highly autobiographical. The novel tells the coming-
of-age story of Kerouac’s first love — Maggie Cassidy — while growing up and having to face difficult decisions. “He’s 17 in the book,” Jefferies said. “He’s in Lowell, Mass. It’s a view of Jack Kerouac that you don’t know exists. It lends itself to being a musical. There’s a lot more room to picture it as a musical.” Jefferies said the musical is far from being complete. But thanks to cast members and director Chad Rabinovitz, producing artistic director for the BPP, the show is strengthening. “It’s a work in progress,” Jefferies said. “There have been a lot of different hands helping me revise the material. Chad has had a lot of excellent suggestions. Thanks to

Kinsey holds Juried Art Show BY SARAH BOYUM sboyum@indiana.edu
The Kinsey Institute threw an opening reception for its 7th Annual Juried Art Show from 6 to 8 p.m. May 18 at the Grunwald Gallery of Art. The show was on display until July 21 and featured contemporary works by artists from the United States and Canada who explore themes of gender, sexual identity, eroticism and sexuality. Catherine Johnson-Roehr, curator of art, artifacts and photographs at the Kinsey Institute, was one of three jurors for the event. For this year’s show, 713 entries were submitted, and the jury panel selected work from 101 artists. “Every year we hold a competition for the Juried Art Show,” Johnson-Roehr said. “We invite artists to submit one to three pieces for
consideration by a panel of three judges. The pieces that receive the highest rankings by the jurors are accepted for the exhibition.” Best in Show and Gallery Visitor’s Choice are two awards artwork is considered for. Artist Mary Mazziotti won Best in Show with her piece “Death Gets Married,” a multi-panel cloth embroidery. Gallery visitors voted to determine Gallery Visitor’s Choice. Oil painting, sculpture, metalwork, jewelry and photography were just a few of the varied methods artists used when creating their pieces. Testicle-shaped cupcakes in bright colors were displayed next to a nipple-adorned necklace titled “My Eyes are Up Here.” Pieces of a chess set represented different reproductive body parts. Heather Saunders’ “Gender
Reveal Cake” consisted of a brown lingerie-covered cake with a pink tutu on the inside. This work is a commentary on the trend of parents asking that their baby’s sex be revealed through a cake, which is typically neutral on the outside with either pink or blue icing on the inside to signify the gender. Julia Kozerski used photography to focus on the weight-loss struggle and how people chase after the dream of becoming the “perfect person.” Devin Balara observed the excessive display of male strength in society and used this idea to construct a “protruding obtrusive phallic form” using steel, wood and 290 bolts. Aiden Smith, a graduate student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, displayed a photograph of a naked and shaven Smith

posed in child-like fashion. “The only visual part of my body that signifies me as a male is my body hair, and it is so easily removed,” Smith said. Smith uses photography to analyze the relationship between himself and his camera. He explores different layers and identities of himself, both as a person and a photographer. Jay Burton also displayed a photograph, titled “Anticipation.” This work features a series of 16 separate photographs, each portraying a different view of a tulip. Burton said he enjoys creating a “controlled ambiguity” in his work and would not explain the meaning behind it, hoping viewers would create their own interpretation of the piece. “(‘Anticipation’) is a Kinsey piece,” Burton said. “It’s obviously
sexual and sensual.” The Kinsey Institute also organized other events that connected with the gallery opening of the Juried Art Show. An open house and artist talk were staged during the afternoon on May 19, and the artists were invited to the Burlesque Ball that night at Jake’s Nightclub. Attendees were encouraged to dress up. The talk allowed artists to offer a more in-depth explanation of their work and field questions from the audience and other artists. Tom Hill, whose art was featured in the show, praised the show and the artists during his presentation. “I feel very akin to the people in this room being able to present themselves in certain ways, to be honest and authentic and try to reflect that in your art,” he said. “I just feel like I’m in very good company.”

Max Newman of The Main Squeeze takes a guitar solo at the Bluebird. The Bloomingtonbased funk/ rock band fills each set with a mix of tightly-refined originals and cover songs that have taken them to stages in Bloomington, Chicago and New York City. IDS FILE PHOTO
» MAIN SQUEEZE CONTINUED FROM PAGE D1 chuckle. “Something special happened, and we ended up playing one of the best 30-minute sets we’ve ever played,” Newman recalled. “It was a really positive response. A really beautiful thing.” “They love the funk,” Gingrich added. After wowing fans on the other side of the world, The Main Squeeze returned June 2 to the Bluebird Nightclub to show off the selftitled album the band spent months completing. “We’ve been talking about putting this album out forever,” Silverstein reflected. “I’ve listened to shows we played six months ago, saying, ‘Don’t worry, the album’s coming out soon!’ Now, finally, six months later, it’s finally here.” At the band’s show on June 2, Bloomington resident Stephen Englert said he downloaded the CD the morning it was released and has already listened to it twice. Englert estimates that he has seen The Main Squeeze perform about 15 to 20 times. “I’ve been anticipating (the new album) for a long time,”
he said. Silverstein, Newman and Gingrich released their trademark funk with vocalist Corey Frye and bassist Willie Robinson to thrill the eager Bluebird crowd with cuts from the new album. The second song during their set, “Mama Told Me” opened with distorted guitar, igniting the dance floor and setting the tone for a serious evening of complex funk demonstration. “People always get really, really into it,” Bluebird bartender Austin Mason said. “Before I had heard them, I had not heard anyone do a blend of funk, hip-hop and real good soul.” The Main Squeeze took full advantage of its new album, playing an upbeat and wholesome new set list. “Dr. Funk” features a heavy keyboard line and sensual lyrics. “I’m the doctor/’Cause I got whatchu need,” Frye beckoned to the audience. Frye welcomed singer Annamarie Hosei on stage midway through the band’s set to perform duet “Make a Move,” a back-and-forth song layered with sensuality and flirtatious lyrical clues. The band then presented
its take of genre staple “We Want the Funk” by George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic to roaring response. The band also featured “Love Rollercoaster,” as made famous by American funk and R&B band The Ohio Players. “I’m in love with the keyboardist,” senior Jane Goebel said after seeing the band for the first time. “He’s ripping pretty nice, getting into things. He just seems like a cool guy, charisma coming from him.” With little time to waste, the band concentrated on playing its hour-long set, then bowed from the stage to meet fans and sell the new album. “They get the biggest draw of any other local band,” Mason said. “They can usually fill the place for no reason.” After such a momentous week for The Main Squeeze, the five friends cannot afford to give into the temptation of a break. On June 9, they took take the stage at Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn. “We can’t wait to share with everyone and then party,” Silverstein grinned. “And celebrate that. And celebrate China. And celebrate the future.”

Crowley said being a part of the Taste is a good way to get people to return to DATS throughout the year. “It’s something that has a long-term impact,” he said. “There are so many restaurants in Bloomington that after a while you can forget about one. We don’t want them to forget about us, so that’s another reason we come here.” While both locals and
people from outside of Bloomington attended the Taste for the food, Briana Root, 30, of Cleveland said she was excited to see the 1960s girl group The Vallures.

ly life. A lot of us read ‘On the Road’ in school. I hadn’t read ‘Maggie Cassidy’ prior to this.” Brianna McClellan, an IU senior majoring in theater and drama, took notes from the novel when it came to portraying Pauline, Maggie Cassidy’s arch-nemesis, in the musical. “The musical follows the
storyline pretty closely,” McClellan said. “Chris carries a highlighted, underlined copy of ‘Maggie Cassidy’ with him everywhere. Everyone we worked with was very professional, and we rehearsed for about three and a half weeks from the read-through.”

Performance program mentors musicians BY RACHEL WISINSKI rlwisins@indiana.edu
For five days, musicians flocked to Bloomington from across the globe to partake in performance training at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. Jeff Nelsen, founder and director of the Fearless Performance Seminar for Musicians, headed the program from May 30 to June 3. “Performance is everywhere in all of our lives,” Nelsen said. “It doesn’t matter what you do. Excellence is excellence, and everything you do goes through the filter of performance.” Now in its sixth year, the idea blossomed from Nelsen’s desire to reach more than his own students. With a musician from Australia attending this year’s program, Nelsen has surpassed his goal. He has been able to reach a global audience with news of his seminar through posters, Facebook and word of mouth. “The biggest thing they can realize is that performance happens in every area of their life, not just when they pick up an instrument,” Nelsen said. The seminar changes every year, he said, so those who return will not be getting the same experience. Through daily performances, lectures and a few surprises, participants are always in for a treat, he said. Guest faculty member David Cutler, who wrote the book “The Savvy Musician,” attended this year’s seminar. Another highlight included a performance on June 1 by Nelsen and Jessie Thoman, assistant director for the program. “I’ve been working with Jeff since its inception,” Thoman said. “Not only is it good to be refreshed, but it is life changing every time.” Nelsen approached Thoman with the idea, and she said she was more than happy to aid in his vision. “Jeff is probably one of the most influential people in my life I have ever met,” Thoman
said. “He is the best teacher and mentor I’ve ever had. He has opened up a world I didn’t know or think I deserved.” The participants played tubas, trumpets, guitars and contributed vocals, and came from different backgrounds. Be it students or teachers, amateurs or professionals, all are welcome. “All the ideas can be placed into the context in which you are in,” Thoman said. “The seminar is open to anyone interested in learning to perform their best.” Jacobs graduate Julie Gerhardt participated in the program during the past two summers. “I wanted to get insight into what I could do mentally to seem more present and calm in my audition experience,” Gerhardt said. “It’s really easy as a musician to get worked up when you have to perform in front of someone, especially when you’re used to practicing alone in a practice room.” She studied French horn performance under Nelsen during her two years at IU. “As a performer and human being, we’re always evolving within ourselves and adjusting to different perspectives or encounters with people,” Gerhardt said. “My perception and his presentation evolve, and there’s always something new to get.” Although she enjoyed the entire process Nelsen created, Gerhardt said she found the inspiration sheet exercise, in particular, to be helpful. This technique includes technical advice, memorization techniques or encouragement for music auditions. “I feel more confident than I’ve ever felt as a performer, rather than feeling more confident in the practice room and going into the performance feeling less than my best,” she said. Through a variety of lessons, Nelsen provides students with essential information. Gerhardt said her favorite part of the seminar was

the talent show. “Everyone has to do a talent that gets away from their instrument,” she said. “Sometimes I felt we were less inhibited in that performance than when we were playing our instruments.” She said this seminar serves as a perk of attending one of the best music schools in the country. “With so many music majors, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd,” Gerhardt said. “This is just an additional resource we can take advantage of that allows us to stand out from the crowd in Bloomington and when we get out to money-making performance situations.” “Perform best when it matters most,” states the seminar’s tagline. “It’s definitely something I see as becoming a movement,” Thoman said. “It’s about feeling good about yourself and working hard and developing yourself to be the best you can be, not comparing yourself to others.” She said she sees it in everyone that comes through the seminar. “The positive energy and amazing people we work with are transformative,” she said. “You have to breathe accountability and love for what you do. Anyone willing to participate and listen will gain enormous benefits.” In an effort to expand the program, Nelsen taught a similar seminar July 11-15, which included information on music education. “My favorite part is getting to affect other musicians’ lives,” Nelsen said. “People realize their music making is connected to everything they do in life and every choice they make.”
CAITLIN O’HARA | IDS
Beverly Bounce House performs at a house show at his home on the south side of Bloomington. His music is self-described as party rap.
» BOUNCE HOUSE CONTINUED FROM PAGE D5 GO TO SLEEP (EXPLICIT) PROD,” Bevy is seen sitting on the steps of his house with friends, sitting on the couch and standing outside, where he parodies Katy Perry’s costume in the “California Gurls” music video. His music on his Bandcamp site is tagged with “indie”, “lo-fi party rap” and “Bloomington.” Lo-fi, a genre for music recorded with inexpensive equipment, features a lowquality audio sound. Not long ago, Bevy began using a more expensive microphone on his MacBook Pro laptop. The song, which accounts the experience of being drunk while hungry and bored, could end up on one of the many mix tapes Bevy hands out to friends or has yet to complete. Right now, he’s working on about five mix tapes, but he can’t remember exactly how many. “It’s really scatterbrained,” he says. * * * In the basement of a house on the south side of Bloomington, a green light illuminates Bevy rapping the words to a song titled “Bounce House.” It’s his most viewed YouTube video. Shirtless, hype man Conrad, who currently lives with Bevy, holds a microphone to his mouth. It’s after midnight, and the basement is hot,
loud and full of people. Conrad has known Bevy for about 15 years and has been making music with him since middle school. When Bevy performed with other hype men, it didn’t click, says Conrad, who joined Bevy as an impromptu hype man at Jake’s Nightclub one night. Although no one in Bevy’s family is musically inclined, living in Midwest suburbia led Bevy and his friends to amuse themselves with experimental music. Bevy, who is part European, Native American Indian, Mexican and Chinese, says that for a while he didn’t have the confidence to rap because of the stigma of being a Midwestern white rapper. “He raps a lot about the Great Lakes, the Midwest, things like that,” Conrad says. “The seasons, pretty things. It’s all his experience.” Nathan Siery, former guitarist of the post-rock band Clouds As Oceans, says Bevy’s music is about being nice to people, as evidenced by the song “Be Nice (Produced by Chode)” on “Sorry Mom.” “He also kind of, I don’t know, he makes a very intelligent point of view and mixes it with the kind of party rap style that he does, too,” Siery says. Bevy’s second mix tape, released in November 2011, consists of music by Clouds As Oceans mixed with Bevy’s beats and rap lyrics.
Although Bevy has performed at the Bishop Bar and the Bluebird with Clouds As Oceans, Siery says most people will be more inclined to attend a performance at a house party. “It’s tough to make the transition to get people to actually pay to come out to your show,” Siery says. Although Bevy’s songs tend to be on the sillier side, Siery says some of his lyrics allude to more serious subjects related to pop culture and life experiences. “I think it just kind of comes from his experience and of being kind of this party figure and rapper in town,” he says. “He kind of takes the world with adifferent approach.” During the summer, Bevy says he has performed at fewer house parties than during spring semester of this year, when he would sometimes perform twice every weekend. Right now, Bevy is also working on a mix tape of 60 one-minute songs for the drinking game Power Hour, a game in which participants drink a shot of beer every minute of an hour. “I don’t believe in taking myself too seriously,” Bevy says. “I feel like that’s what I want from a performance, or I feel like the best possible scenario would be half and half. It’s not fully comedy, but it’s not fully serious. Because that’s how life is, pretty much.”
