Pumpkin numbers squashed by bad weather AUDREY ANFIELD News Reporter
Pumpkins will be difficult to find for Halloween, and may be a challenge to find come time for Thanksgiving. The pumpkin count this season is down with a significant drop that may prevent some people from getting their pumpkin pie fix. When stores sell out of pumpkins soon, there will not be any more until the next year’s harvest. Because of weather conditions, there is a shortage of pumpkins used for both carving and canning. The heavy rains during June and July hit Illinois and deeply affected the pumpkin crop. About 23.2 inches of rain fell May through July, causing the dirt to become hard and spread diseases more easily. These summer rains will have lasting effects for the fall. “Canning pumpkins in Illinois are down. Jack-o-lanterns are what I grow,” Craig Tanner, vice president of growing operations at Tanner’s Orchard in Speer, Ill., said. Along with sugar pumpkins, Tanner said jack-o-lanterns have been low due to the heavy rain in June. “A lot of the jack-o-lantern pumpkins get planted in late May, early June and right after their seeds got planted. With all the rain, the seeds were never able to germinate and produce,” Tanner said. Tanner said a popular remedy for pumpkin growers is to transplant the crop from one location to another. Growers use sandy soil so that the pumpkins are better grained. “Probably the worst season we ever had,” Coordinator of ISU Horticulture Center Jessica Chambers said. “The plants that did survive were more prone to disease. We keep our spraying down to a minimum, so if you didn’t spray for that, then you lost produce.”

Heavy rain and prevalence of disease have led to fewer pumpkins this year. Stores are struggling to provide for the season. Chambers said any pumpkin sitting in water and cold is bad and more prone to disease and fungus. “It’s kind of counterintuitive because really, they do best in hot and dry. We’ve had our best years on the years where it was dryer in the summer than wet.” Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado are having a much better pumpkin crop this year than Illinois. Out in California, crops have been squeezed out due to the drought. “It probably hurt Illinois growers more than it hurt surrounding
states, because Illinois is the number one producer of pumpkins,” Chambers said. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, pumpkins are a $145 million industry, a small amount compared to other produce profits.

Victorian Clare House plans to close before holiday season AUDREY ANFIELD News Reporter
A Victorian house located at 703 E. Washington St. in Bloomington, known as the Clare House, has been serving the community since 1978, but it plans to close after its traditional pre-Thanksgiving food distribution on Nov. 25. “We’ve been serving those who have been hungry, families in need of food, for many, many years,” Founder and Director of Clare House Tina Sipula said. “We’ve been handing out groceries twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays.” Non-perishable items have been distributed to the elderly, disabled, handicapped, veterans and those who are working part time and earning minimum wage. Produce is also distributed during the summer or when available. Sipula said baby food, diapers and formula are given with no questions asked, as long as those in need are 18 years old and older. The Clare House has no paid staff and about 70 volunteers. “I’ve been there 37 years and it’s time for me to retire,” Sipula said. “Basically I just want to spend more time with my husband and my
times are Wednesday from 9 a.m.–11 a.m., 7 p.m.–8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m.–11 a.m. “The Loaves and Fishes is our soup kitchen Tuesdays and Thursdays and takes place here at St. Mary’s, but it was run by Clare House,” St. Mary’s pastor Rev. Ric Schneider said. “We just provided facilities and all.” Located at 527 W. Jackson St. in Bloomington, St. Mary’s Church serves lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Its last meal will be Tuesday Nov. 24. “She and her husband are parishioners here and god bless her all the work she’s done, she needs a little time,” Schneider said. Over the years, the Clare House has changed its uses to better suit the community and has been a steady provider for families in need. “The transformation has been absolutely astounding,” Sipula said. Abby Nieter/ Staff Photographer “As only 24 years old when I started it, The Clare House, a local food bank, is closing in November after its founder’s retirement. I’ve come a long way and I guess I’ve learned more than anything is compassion and that pantry.

International peacemakers to share beliefs on religion EMA SASIC Senior Reporter
Three international peacemakers from Israel, who represent different religions, will come together to present Multi-Faith Activism when the Political Peace Process Stalls: an Evening with International Peacemakers at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Prairie Room of the Bone Student Center. The event is free and open to the public. Eliyahu McL ean, Gassan Manasra and Jiries Mansur formed the Abrahamic Reunion, a group that aims to use religion as a force for peace. Members are committed to sharing a belief in one God by understanding each other’s religious customs, spiritual practices, prayers and values. According to its website, the Abrahamic Reunion promotes love, peace, communication, cooperation and dialogue between all people in Israel and Palestine. In an interview with Media Relations, Associate Professor Michael Gizzi explained the importance of having a group like the Abrahamic Reunion during a time of conf lict between Israel and Palestine. “The Abrahamic Reunion represents something that is rarely seen when people think about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — the cooperation and willingness to work for peace across faiths that occurs in Israel and Palestine,” Gizzi said. “Bringing the peacemakers to Illinois State University provides our students and the community with a great opportunity to learn about peacemaking in the Middle East.” McLean is an Orthodox Jew living in Jerusalem, the cofounder of the Abrahamic Reunion and director of Jerusalem Peacemakers. Manasra is an ordained sheikh in the Qadiri Sufi Order of Islam, co-coordinator of the Abrahamic Reunion and director of the Islamic Cultural Center in Nazareth. Mansur is a Christian Arab, deacon in the Greek Orthodox Church and principal of a middle school in the Arab village of Kfar Rame in the Galilee region. The talk is sponsored by Illinois State University Diversity Advocacy, Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution, Hillel Student Union, the Presbytery of Great Rivers, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Moses Montefiore Temple, Illinois Wesleyan University’s Evelyn Chapel, the Harold K. Sage Fund and the Illinois State University Foundation.

Body cameras needed for all police departments
W
earable body cameras are becoming more and more common throughout the United States. After the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and many other unarmed African Americans, body cameras became a topic of debate. Illinois has been integrating body cameras for some time, and Bloomington is the latest city to join. Starting January 2016, the Bloomington Police Department (BPD) will begin a pilot program to test out a handful of cameras from various providers. The city is currently waiting to receive a $28,818 federal grant to fund the project. The main purpose is to capture footage and show whether a police officer used excessive force against a citizen during an encounter. With the integration of body cameras into police officers’ uniforms, citizens across Bloomington and all over the country can start to feel safer in police-citizen encounters. The primary advantage body cameras bring is an increased level of transparency and accountabil-
ity. They provide video evidence of what happened during an encounter, which makes it much easier to prove whether an incident occurred. If a citizen claims that an officer mistreated them, then a video record of it exists to help them. Camera footage can also protect officers from being falsely accused of any wrongdoing alleged during an incident. Body cameras also have a civilizing effect on both officers and citizens. When people know that
they are being recorded, their behavior tends to change, and they are less likely to act out. Additionally, officers show less force when they know that their actions are being recorded and can be used against them in court. The number of complaints against officers has also been shown to reduce with the use of cameras. The cameras can also improve the strength of evidence for investigations of citizen complaints and lawsuits and criminal investi-
gations. With video proof of what occurred during an encounter, more documentation is provided to help officers and citizens receive justice or clear their name. With so many advantages these cameras bring to citizens and police officers, all police departments across the country should integrate them into their officers’ uniforms. The problem, however, is that just a single camera costs $800 to $1,200. If body cameras have become accepted in the U.S.,
it is time that the government provides funding so that all police departments can supply the necessary equipment for officers. Even in our own community, we can see government funding for these cameras. The BPD is receiving a federally funded grant that allows them to test different types of cameras before they find the right vendor to supply the force with 80 to 100 cameras. Although it is a pricey project, the government understands body cameras bring an increased level of safety into a community, which makes every penny spent worthwhile. Police body cameras are a step in the right direction to keep individuals safe and prevent future altercations. After a year of hearing so many stories of people wrongfully shot down by law enforcement, it is time that the government steps in and provides all police departments with grants to help pay for body cameras.

Afghanistan airstrike must have consequences MY VIEW NATHAN PENN Columnist
E
arly this month, a U.S. airstrike hit a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, killing 19 staff members and patients. The airstrike has sparked an outcry from the international community for investigations and for the U.S. to be held accountable for the tragedy. As new revelations continue to come to light about the airstrike, it is becoming clearer that much of the world views it as a war
crime. The U.S. aims to be an international leader in human rights, but cannot be a human rights advocate and participate in warfare that devalues human life at the same time. Now the U.S. has the opportunity to demonstrate that it is held to the same standard as the rest of the world. Through participating in war crimes procedures, the U.S. can sustain its legitimacy as a global leader in human rights. The airstrike also highlights the struggle to win over the public of Afghanistan. Without the faith of the Afghani public, the U.S. won’t be able to make a lasting positive impact in Afghanistan. As the U.S. continues to withdraw troops, there is little hope that the nation will prosper because of American efforts. The Afghani military the U.S.
has helped fund and train will be incompetent on its own against a public that doesn’t support it. The insensitivity displayed by some U.S. officials surrounding civilian deaths can also undermine attempts at winning the hearts and minds of the Afghani people. General John F. Campbell suggested that the airstrike against the hospital was necessary in fighting insurgents in the area. The U.S. strategy in Afghanistan relies heavily on gaining the support of the Afghani people, and as long as civilian deaths are seen as a necessary side effect of war, progress will be difficult. The people of Afghanistan simply can’t believe in an ally that kills innocent civilians. The fact that the airstrike hit a hospital that serves local civilians further demonstrates the mis-
takes made by the U.S. in securing the support of the people. The strike also discourages humanitarian aid in areas of Afghanistan that desperately need it. The kind of aid Doctors Without Borders provides is instrumental in keeping civilians safe in areas of heavy fighting. Without the help of humanitarian aid, areas of heavy conflict in Afghanistan would suffer greatly. Fortunately, the U.S. has decided to launch a formal investigation into the airstrike. The investigation, however, will be conducted internally, and there is skepticism surrounding how thorough it will be. Doctors Without Borders is calling for an independent investigation, suspecting that an internal investigation won’t lead to any real revelations. Because

the airstrike lasted for more than an hour and through multiple rounds of missile fire, it does not appear to be as accidental as some officials claim. The responsibility has fallen on the United States and the Afghanistan military to cooperate with international investigations. It is important that at this moment the U.S. can exhibit transparency to keep its legitimacy in the international community. As a global power, the U.S. must demonstrate that it values human life through cooperating with international norms. Nathan Penn is a junior political science major and a columnist for the Vidette.

Bloomington to stop wasting on waste EMA SASIC Senior Reporter
Jenna Kadziulis / Staff Photographer
Bloomington will save about half a million dollars by switching to every-other-week pick up of bulk waste and brush. able to save nearly half a million dollars without leaving anybody unemployed. Many people raised concerns over whether the city will look dirty now that waste pickup will not be available on a weekly basis. Rasmussen said citizens are adjusting to the new pickup schedule. “There have been growing pains because there are some people that are used to putting out their bulk every week and we’ve had to ask people to put it out every other
week so it doesn’t sit out and look unsightly for two weeks,” Rasmussen said. “I think people are getting the message.” While a reduction in staff has resulted in savings of half a million dollars, a departmental deficit of $2 million remains. In an interview with the Pantagraph, Mayor Tari Renner said there is still a lot to be done to close the gap. “We still have our work cut out for us in closing the deficit in the solid waste fund,” Renner said. “We’ve

FRI. THURS. WED. TUES. MON.
The City of Bloomington is switching from weekly to everyother-week pickup of bulky waste and brush. The switch could save the city nearly $500,000 annually. City Manager Steve Rasmussen explained that waste pickup was reduced due to a large deficit. “The solid waste program, our picking up of trash, recycling, bulk waste and brush costs the city about $8 million a year,” Rasmussen said. “But we only collect about $5.5 million in garbage fees, so the city is short about $2.5 million and we were trying to figure out ways to close that budget deficit.” Rasmussen said the city decided to pick up bulk trash and brush every other week instead of weekly. The city can then collect the same amount of trash each month and only have our crews out for half of the time. With the switch, the city will keep the same level of service, but at a much lower cost. The city was also able to eliminate six full-time positions, which saved about $450,000. The six employees will not be laid off because they will be moved to other positions that became vacant through retirements or resignations. Rasmussen said that this was a “big success” because the city was
One recommendation the council and citizens budget task force proposed was to charge for buckets of bulk pickup. Currently, the city will pick it up for free. The council, however, was proposing to charge $20 for the first bucket and $40 for additional buckets. The proposal will be put on the council’s next agenda and awaits approval. Rasmussen said the deficit represents a “big hole in the city’s budget.” “It’s a great service that we provide for the city that we don’t want to discontinue, so we’re working our way now to try to find what is the right balance between the level of service, the fees that are charged and how much we subsidize it out of the general fund,” Rasmussen said. “We’re getting there.” Ema Sasic is a senior reporter for The Vidette and can be reached at vidette_esasic@ilstu.edu.

ISU had five starters sidelined due to injury (Kocour, Teddy Corwin, Alex Donnelly on defense and Jon-Marc Anderson, Christian Gibbs on offense) and defensive end David Perkins sidelined due to a violation of team rules. Even though they were missing key pieces, the ’Birds were expected to dominate a Bears program smack dab in the middle of a rebuilding process under first-year head coach Dave Steckel. For Steckel and the rest of Missouri State, it makes it even more difficult to lead the program from the ground-up in perhaps the toughest FCS league across the nation, which many have called “the SEC of the FCS.” “It’s a new staff with a new phi-

It’s the best league I’ve ever been a part of from a parity standpoint, top to bottom. You’ve gotta come to play every week.” After defeating Steckel’s rebuilding team and spending two straight weeks on the road, the Redbirds will now return home to Normal for a tilt against in-state rival Western Illinois for the 2015 Homecoming game at Hancock Stadium. “We did what we had to do — come in here and win on the road,” Spack said. “Now we have two big ones coming at home starting with a big one next weekend with Western Illinois next Saturday.

The Women in Business event featured the hit film “The Devil Wears Prada” with a panel discussion following to discuss gender barriers in the workplace.
Women in Business sheds light on gender barriers in the workplace JAY IBARRA Features Reporter
Women in Business put on an incredible event for Business Week filled with students eager to great you, free concessions and an unforgettable experience discussing and questioning gender inequality. The topic of this event was breaking down gender barriers in the workplace. The movie was “The Devil Wears Prada,” the 2006 blockbuster hit with the tagline “Hell on heels.” The movie is based in New York and follows Andrea Sachs, a simple and naive journalist trying to survive her new second assistant job at Run-
way Magazine. She lands the sought-after position of working for Miranda Priestly, the ruthless editor in chief of Runway Magazine. How hard is she willing to work to keep her job? A discussion followed the movie and was extraordinarily thought provoking. It involved a guest panel comprised of Karla Huffman as the Panel Moderator, Kate Cross, Anna Francisco, Doris Groves, Kimberly Judson,and Jennifer McDade to lead the panel. There was a line in the movie that started the discussion off hot, a line that really struck a chord with the entire audience: “If Miranda were a man, no one would notice
anything about her except how great she is at her job,” Sachs’ said. In real time of the movie, the audience fell silent. It was a special moment that made the experience of watching a movie with peers so incredible. The panel mentioned how pivotal of a moment that was for Sach’s character, as she realized that Miranda is a human too and objectified just like her. The evening was full of advice from woman with a lot of experience in the workforce. “When you enter, you have to earn your keep,” Francisco said. It was great advice that resonated with everyone in the audi-
ence after seeing what Miranda had put Andrea through during the movie. There are several different barriers that need to be broken down in the workplace, starting with sex, age, location, technology, culture and personality. These are just a small list tackled throughout the evening, with more barriers not mentioned that we need to be aware of, though we are making progress. The panel members offered their views from decades in the workforce. They showed women hope is around the corner and with more events on the calendar for Women in Business, there is still so much more to learn.
What makes Normal so extraordinary?
Normal was named a top college town in the nation by College Values Online; here’s what students love about Blo-No Welcoming atmosphere
Outstanding eats
Variety of places
“I love Normal because it has such a strong sense of community,” junior public relations major Carys Fritz said. “I love how all the local businesses work together, too.” Go anywhere in Normal to find Illinois State University students hanging out, doing homework or being active in their community. The friendly and warm atmosphere of Normal, which is largely populated by students, always incites us to get out of our dorm rooms or apartments and do some exploring. From Uptown to downtown and everywhere in between, Blo-No gives us that comfortable small town vibe that many of us miss from home.
“One of my favorite parts about living in BloomingtonNormal is that I never have to go too far to get good corn,” senior marketing major Mohammed Yusuf said. No matter your location in Blo-No, there are good eats nearby. Uptown offers ISU students a huge selection of dining near campus that is hard to pass up. We all have our favorite orders from D.P. Dough, Maggie Miley’s and Pub II, just to name a few. Bloomington offers us Lucca Grill and DESTIHL, not to mention Avanti’s, Thai House and Biaggi’s.
“I love living in Normal because I’m close to all the good eats and fun shops to go to,” senior psychology major Gina Mazzaferri said. You don’t need to go far to find something fun to do in Blo-No, and most of it is all within walking distance from campus. Uptown offers us blocks full of unique shops to browse through, and downtown Bloomington does the same. There are art museums, historic sights, theaters and concert venues all in the same area for residents and college students to explore.
Star sports No matter the time of year, there is always a sporting event to attending in Blo-No. With over 15 men’s and women’s official teams at ISU alone to support, there are also a multitude of club sports that students can get involved in. Between watching or participating in sports in the area, there is always something to do when it comes to athletics around ISU.
Great opportunities for students Being in Bloomington-Normal gives students so many opportunities to further their work experiences. ISU offers student-run TV channels, radio stations, and newspapers that put out quality content as well as giving students the chance to gain work skills. The multitude of RSOs also give students in Blo-No to participate in things they are passionate about outside of classes. There are over 300 on ISU’s campus alone, which offers up the chance for leadership, volunteer work and broadening your social circle without ever leaving the city.
Respectable schools Obviously we all know about ISU being a huge part of Bloomington, but the town is home to some other great schools, too, including Illinois Wesleyan University, located just down the road from us. Having one down with more than one college allows students from both schools to communicate and support one another. Compiled by Rebecca Davis/ Features Reporter

Bad news Bears: ’Birds win 38–2 Warrum, Roberson connection leads No. 4 Illinois State to fifth straight win ZACK CARPENTER Sports Editor
Coming into Saturday’s matchup with Missouri State, the Illinois State University football team was expected to roll through a lesstalented opponent in the Bears. The No. 4-ranked Redbirds (5-1, 3-0 MVFC) met those expectations with a 38-2 drubbing over a struggling, rebuilding Bears team (1-5, 0-3). Tre Roberson finished 15-for-23 for 304 yards and three touchdowns while Marshaun Coprich broke off 139 yards rushing and two touchdowns on just 16 carries for an average of 8.7 yards per touch. Roberson collected 300plus yards passing for the first time this season and the third time in his Redbird career while Coprich broke the ISU career allpurpose yards mark, finshing the day with 4,491 career all-purpose yards. But the star of the day was wide receiver Anthony Warrum, who broke free for 194 yards on seven catches (both career highs) with three touchdowns of 20, 34 and 75 yards, respectively, to also tie his personal record of three scores in a game. This comes after snagging three in the home opener over Morgan State in Week two. The junior reciever was explosive early and often, looking exactly like the No. 1 receiver many thought he would become at the start of fall training camp earlier this season. “[Warrum] is really good,” ISU head coach Brock Spack said. “He’s turned into a very dynamic guy and he’s becoming what we’d hope he’d be.” With Warrum performing so well, a few Redbird fans took to Twitter, mentioning they wished the receiver was a part of their fantasy football team. “That’s funny, a few guys were saying that in [the locker room], too,” Warrum said with a laugh. “It was great [to have that game]. I was on the receiving end of a
Swimming and diving loses dual meet to Truman State The Redbirds fought hard in their first dual meet of the season but fell to Truman State, 127-78. The Redbirds’ 200-yard relay squad finished first ahead of the Bulldogs with a time of 1:48.01.
Coach’s comments
“
We battled nerves in the beginning, but they were able to work through a few tough races early on and finish with some solid swims. We will use this meet to build on those experiences and continue to get better throughout the season.” —Swimming head coach Scott Cameron

Anthony Warrum hauled in seven catches for a career-high 194 yards with three touchdowns to lead the Redbirds to a 38-2 win over Missouri State on Saturday in Springfield, Mo. couple broken coverages. The line gave us a lot of time today so we were able to have a lot more time to do our work outside and get open.” Warrum — who holds the record for most career receiving yards (4,492) in Indiana high school history — would not have been able to break out for such a flashy day without the help of his quarterback Roberson, who is finally healthy or at least appears to be, throwing the ball while playing through an injured right thumb. “[Roberson] is really tough,” Spack said. “He won’t make excuses. He’s one of the best competitors I’ve been around in awhile.” Roberson battling through his injury helped a prolific ISU offense record season-highs in rushing yards (253), passing yards (319) and total yards (572). His effort also aided the Redbirds in exploding for a hot start out of the gate with an eight-play, 83-yard touch-
down drive on their first possession, culminating with Warrum’s first touchdown — a 20-yard strike on a corner route to the left side of the end zone. On the second drive of the game, Warrum hauled in another pass, this time a 34-yarder and outran the defense for his second score of the game to give the ’Birds an early 14-0 lead. Then, the Redbirds took complete control of the game with their first two plays of the second quarter totaling 151 yards and two scores. Coprich exploded off tackle through a huge hole on the offensive line, sprinting up the left sideline, keeping his balance and tip-toeing the sidelines to sneak in for a 76-yard score. After a threeand-out from MSU, Roberson connected with Warrum, streaking up the left sideline. The receiver then cut across the middle of the field and back to outrace several Bears defenders and sprint in for a
75-yard touchdown and give ISU a 28-0 lead. Sean Slattery’s 39-yard kick near the end of the half and Coprich’s third quarter, one-yard plunge rounded out ISU’s scoring while the Bears added a late safety to avoid a shut out. The Redbirds’ defense was outstanding, holding the Bears to just 259 yards of total offense and no offensive points. The two points allowed by the defense were ISU’s fewest given up to a Valley opponent since Oct. 14, 2000, when it handed Indiana State a 21-0 shutout. Defensive coordinator Spence Nowinsky’s unit was led in tackles by Soniel Estime, filling in at starting safety for the injured Alec Kocour (concussion), with 11 total stops. Matt McCown, Dalton Keene and Brannon Barry each added a sack. See “FOOTBALL” on Page 6
Volleyball moves into 3rd place in MVC JASON KLAER Senior Staff
After picking up two victories over the weekend, the Illinois State University volleyball team has now moved into a four-way tie for third place with a conference record of 5-3. The Redbirds swept Evansville to earn their fourth conference win of the season Friday. Jaelyn Keene recorded 12 kills as well as two solo blocks. Overall, head coach Melissa Myers was pleased with the way the team performed. “It was a little bit of a slow start for us,” Myers said. “We did a really great job once we broke through that midpoint of pulling away and being able to finish strong.” Lexi Varga and Ashley Rosch combined for 20 kills, while Ali Line posted a career-high nine for the match. Line credited her teammates for the success of play. “We owe a lot to the passers. I think the passers were on point.” Line said. “Jacqueline [Twing] was able to run the middle and confuse the blockers, which helped us attack.”

The Redbirds moved into a tie for third place in the Valley following wins over Evansville and Southern Illinois. ISU was able to clinch its 40th victory against the Purple Aces to improve its record to 40-3 against them. One night later, what seemed like a second consecutive sweep turned into a five-set marathon. ISU was eventually able to defeat Southern Illinois in a decisive fifth set, bring-
ing the match time to around two and a half hours. Freshman Lexi Varga looks at the bigger picture and remembers this is a team effort. “I remind myself that my team is confident in me, so I have to be confident in myself,” Varga said. “We all know that we are out there
for each other and we all know that we are going to do it together and get the job done together.” Keene notched 22 kills, while Varga added 18. Twing had 62 assists, which was a career high for all three of the players. See “VOLLEYBALL” on Page 6
