KEEPING A SECRET

The sun hasn’t risen yet, leaving Kirkwood Avenue in partial darkness. A street lamp illuminates the entrance to the Village Deli, reopening at 7 a.m. — 82 days after a fire closed the restaurant indefinitely. Owner Bob Costello heard rumors from his son, a freshman at IU, that some of the restaurant’s loyal fans might begin lining up at 6:45 a.m. Twenty minutes until open. A waitress exits the Village Deli to put salt and pepper shakers on the outdoor tables. She disagrees with the rumors, saying she doesn’t expect a line to form outside until late morning. A Bloomington Police Department patrol car drives by followed by a bus, but for the most part the streets were empty. Sophomores Jordan Keener, Jack Nugent and Hunter Foist are the first ones in line, destined to be the restaurant’s first post-fire customers. Matt Wernert, Bryan Hunt and Nick Loughlin join the trio curbside, waiting for the deli’s doors to open. The group of six are the first customers to dine at the Village Deli after the devastating fire in January. “This was our staple last year,” Nugent said. Nugent and his friends on his freshman dorm floor came to the deli regularly last school year as a way to get to know each other better. Now sophomores, the students all live in different locations on campus, but Nugent said they keep the tradition alive. “This is the place where we’ll meet on Sunday morning,” he said. “It’s been the place for us and it’s been hard while it’s been gone.” When Keener heard about the Village Deli catching on fire Jan. 25, he initially thought it was a joke. Nugent didn’t know how to describe his reaction to learning about the fire. “We didn’t know if it was completely burned down or just part of it, so it was scary at first,” Keener said. “But at least it wasn’t too bad, I guess.” For Keener, the Village Deli is Saturday mornings in the fall before IU football games and a place to reconvene on Sunday, take inventory of the night before and share stories. Both sophomores have a soft spot in their stomachs for the deli’s food. What would be the kitchen’s first order Friday morning? “Probably the Power Breakfast,” Keener and Nugent said without hesitation. “It’s the go-to,” Nugent said. A few minutes before 7 a.m. an older couple strolls down Kirkwood and wait patiently by the deli’s front doors. Costello, seeing the anxious

Coleman recounts playing 2014 season on broken toe By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu | @Sam_Beishuizen

Tevin Coleman had a secret — a painful one. The consensus All-American played the final seven games of the season on a broken sesamoid bone in his right foot. Coleman wouldn’t actually discover the extent of the injury until six weeks later. Nobody outside of running backs Coach Deland McCullough, Coleman’s trainer and his father Wister knew about the injury. When the pain added up, he kept running. There were no signs of struggle, either. Coleman ran for 2,036 yards and 15 touchdowns. He’s a projected second-round pick in the NFL draft. Coleman was able to smile as he recounted playing injured after working out in front of all 32 NFL teams at his pro day last week. But for two months of last season, the pain was no joking matter. “It was real painful, but I just had to stick through it and fight through it,” Coleman said. “I’m a competitor, so I wasn’t going to let my team down.” Let them down? Coleman didn’t even n come close, registering one of the best indi-vidual seasons in program history. Now that he’s ready for the next stage in n his playing career, Coleman’s secret is out. He’s been meeting with teams and shararing his story of an All-American season filled ed with pain. Coleman said NFL representatives ves have been calling him tough because he’s played through the broken toe. He likes that. He said that’s his advanvantage. But he instead asks them one thingg in response. “Could you imagine what I’ll do when n I’m healthy?” SEE COLEMAN, PAGE AGE 6

Broken sesamoid bone in foot didn’t stop Coleman Coleman broke a sesamoid bone in his toe and continued to play for the Hoosiers. The sesamoids help the big toe move normally and provide leverage

when trying to push off during walking and running. His surgery required a scope to clear a loose piece of bone that was floating in his foot.

Despite the injury, Coleman had an average of 7.5 yards per carry, had 2,036 yards in the season and had an average of 169.7 yards a game. He had four 200-yard games. IDS FILE PHOTO

IU student planning Record Store Day aids local business bicycle trip around world By Adam Smith

People keep asking him why he’s cycling around the world, and he says it comes down to three things: he’s confused, scared and a little bit lonely. Roberto Ortiz is going to be a sophomore in the fall. He’s not going about his college education in a traditional manner. He said he wants to make the world his campus. Starting in August, Ortiz will travel the world on his bicycle while taking online courses as an English major. Ortiz grew up in Elkhart, Ind., and went to Concord High School. “It was kind of an awkward childhood,” Ortiz said. “I was half black, half Mexican. I was raised in a primarily white area, so it was really weird growing up. It’s not a sense of identity, or like my culture. It just wasn’t there.” He said his mom understands him and fully supports his decision. “She’s really worried,” Ortiz said. “My mom just gets me, she gets it. Like, why I’m doing this.

Follow Ortiz’s journey online Visit thisisouryouth.org to see his mapped-out path, as well as to contribute donations to his endeavor through Go Fund Me. She knows I would not be happy if I didn’t do it. She cares more about me than my own safety.” He said both of his parents are really supportive, but they cannot financially afford to support this endeavor. So, he works at a daycare center to save money for his trip. “Its super cheap, actually,” Ortiz said. “I’ve planned for five dollars a day, which will work in most parts. That’s one of the points to the trip is to challenge myself and see what it’s like, $1,800 a year is my base price.” He has enough saved for the first year. After that, he said, he could probably get sponsors to finish out the trip. Ortiz said he will start the trip in San Francisco and end back in Indiana. “I’m going to head south,” Ortiz said. “Once I hit Ecuador, that’s SEE CYCLIST, PAGE 2

In 2005, vinyl hit its lowest selling point since 1995 at 0.9 million albums sold, but more than 10 times that amount of albums were sold in 2014.

The line outside Landlocked Music stretched around the corner of Walnut and Sixth streets and halfway down the block. Saturday, April 18, marked the eighth annual celebration of Record Store Day, an annual event intended to support independent record stores all across the globe by drawing in crowds with limited-run special releases. In that regard, Record Store Day was a success. The line to Landlocked Music’s door was filled with people willing to wait hours for the store to open just to get their hands on the special release they wanted. Brandon Funkhouser said he got his spot at the front of the line by getting to the store at midnight. He wanted to get a vinyl reissue of Brand New’s 2003 album, “Déjà Entendu.” Even showing up at midnight didn’t guarantee he would get the album, he said, because it was a hotly desired release. The reissue sold for little more than $30 in some locations Saturday, but one copy sold for $202.50 after 13 bids on eBay the following day. Other copies were going for similar prices online.
