MCPL honored by national award From IDS reports
Monroe County Public Library received the American Library Association’s Excellence in Library Programming Award on June 25. The award, received for the library’s 2015 program series “Discuss, Meet, & Act: The Power of Words,” recognizes libraries that have created programs that have community impact and respond to community needs, according to an MCPL press release. The library was honored with the award at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago.. It will receive $5,000 for winning the award. Power of Words is a biannual MCPL and Friends of the Library event that features an author who writes about citizens’ ability to change the world. In 2015, “The Power of Words” featured a talk by John Lewis, a congressman and civil rights leader. The event was held at the IU Auditorium, drawing 1,630 people, according to the press release. The 2015 Power of Words program also included a month’s worth of book discussions, a civil rights film series and art talks and exhibits.

CASA volunteer finds fulfillment, purpose Hannah Reed hanreed@umail.iu.edu @hannahreed13
More than 135,000 people live in Monroe County. 120 of them are children who have survived abuse and neglect. Many of them are under five years old. They’re working their way through the court system as they wait for an adult advocate to guide them. They’re waiting for a CASA — Court Appointed Special Advocate — to help usher them through the court system and deliver them to a safe, permanent home. Susan Wannamaker is one of those advocates. Sitting in the shade of a blue umbrella at a picnic table in front of Laughing Planet, she leaned
“Giving back and having purpose in life is essential for the spirit. For my spirit, it is essential, and there are so many opportunities in this community, it just has to be the right fit for your needs.” Susan Wannamaker, CASA volunteer
in to discuss the details of being a CASA and how she got involved with the volunteerpowered program. Wannamaker has been a CASA for three years, and found out about the program through her mother, who was also a CASA and a foster parent. “My mom had done it years ago and she had foster children,” Wannamaker said. “So I knew about it, and I’ve always been interested in it.” CASAs provide representation in court for child victims of abuse and neglect, according to their website. CASAs provide advocacy to the child victims to help them find safe

and permanent housing as quickly as possible. The program recruits members who volunteer their time to serve as CASAs, and they provide training and supervision for these volunteers. Wannamaker says she typically puts in around 20 hours as a CASA each month. “When a child is in the system, they are a ward of the state,” Wannamaker said. “And so who’s really taking over their case is the Department of Child Services.” The cases are each assigned a caseworker from DCS, and they are in charge of the case until it is settled or closed. Wannamaker is currently working on her third case, and says cases are sometimes as long as a year to 18 months, though they can be longer. Wannamaker described the process of getting to know
the children and their families. CASAs get to know the housing situation, she says, and she learns about whether the child is in a foster home or not. If the child is in a foster home, she visits them in foster care and talks with the foster parents. “You also get to know where they were removed, the home they were removed from, and you get to know the adults that were there,” Wannamaker said, discussing how CASAs handle cases. “You engage with any kind of service providers, so many times in these cases doctors will be involved, therapists were involved.” More than one therapist can be involved, she said. Occupational therapists, therapists that are in charge of domestic abuse, and children’s therapists are all people that CASAs talk to. However, when

the child is not old enough for a therapist, Wannamaker says she visits their doctors to see if they are on track with their growth and development. When the children are older, there are more people to talk to, and more things for a
CASA to be concerned about. “I would say sometimes the issues get more complicated as a child is older, and there’s probably been more patterns,” Wannamaker said. “It’s more complicated when you’ve got a teenager because
you’re worried about their peers and who they associate with, and you worry about what they do with their downtime.” She also noted that social media has an influence on children, and that’s something CASAs spend time thinking about as well. Though it is time-consuming, CASAs do not typically continue dealing with the families and children from their cases after the cases have been resolved or closed. Kids are often referred to places like Big Brother Big Sister or the Boys and Girls Club for more support or for a place to go for after school activities, until they turn 18. Wannamaker says the volunteer work that she does outside of her full-time job is very rewarding. The most rewarding part for Wannamaker is, “To see that the family has worked through some difficult times and, with the help of social services that we have in our community, have been able to move forward and be as one,” she said. To become a CASA, volunteers undergo 30 hours of training. The training classes are free, and the next one begins on July 28. According to the volunteer curriculum goals, during this course, volunteers cover ten chapters worth of information in two weekend segments. Since there are so many children assigned to the program and not enough CASAs to serve them all, Wannamaker says volunteering to advocate for them is a good way to give back the community. “Giving back and having purpose in life is essential for the spirit,” Wannamaker said, adjusting the flower necklace that sat above another necklace that read “love.” “For my spirit, it is essential, and there are so many opportunities in this community, it just has to be the right fit for your needs.”
Begay authentic as 78th Miss Indiana Locals save 1.7 million in tax returns and credits By Emily Eckelbarger eaeckelb@umail.iu.edu @emeckelbarger
Haley Begay stood next to Grace Haase, holding hands, on the Miss Indiana pageant stage. They waited to hear a name announced – the name of the first runner up. “You don’t want to hear your name,” Begay said. So when it was Haase’s name announced, Haley’s mouth dropped open. She had just become the 78th Miss Indiana at 19 years old. Begay, a native of the tiny town of Pittsboro, Indiana, has been competing in pageants since she was 11 years old. She’d always looked up to older competitors in competitions like Miss Indiana, not believing that she was capable of making it to that level. “I never thought that was a tangible dream until last week,” she said. After winning a local pageant and being crowned Miss Metropolitan, Begay received her “golden ticket” to join 35 women in competing at Miss Indiana for her second time. There, she won preliminary competitions in the swimsuit, interview and talent categories (Begay sang Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” for her talent portion). In addition to her awarded titles, she received a scholarship of $10,000 for winning Miss Indiana and became

eligible for numerous other scholarships at local, state and national level. The Miss America pageant is the largest provider of scholarships to young women in the world, said Marni Lemons, public relations director for the Miss Indiana Scholarship Pageant. And although the Miss America pageant helps young women financially, in some
cases allowing contestants to graduate college debt-free, one of the biggest rewards they take away is their personal growth. “Miss Indiana really encourages young women to learn their own minds and really get to know themselves,” Lemons said. “They develop such confidence, poise and the ability to speak.” Begay will be one of the
youngest contestants at the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City in September, where the median age of the contestants is 22. She’s nervous, but also confident about the edge her age gives her. In her Miss Indiana interview, she argued that her young age gives her the advantage of versatility. SEE BEGAY, PAGE 8
Monroe and Owen County residents received more than $1.7 million in tax refunds and credits thanks to the work of the Free Community Tax Service. The Free Community Tax Service, which is a program of United Way of Monroe County and the Financial Stability Alliance for South Central Indiana, helped residents file nearly 2,400 federal tax returns, according to a United Way press release. Low- and moderate-income residents also saved approximately $705,000 in tax preparation fees. “The Free Community Tax Service continues to have a measurable impact on local individuals and families, particularly those who are struggling to make ends meet,” Barry Lessow, United Way executive director, said in the release. Community partners Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, AARP Tax Counseling for the Elderly and 130 IRS-certified volunteers also assisted tax filers. Community volunteers completed 1,052 tax returns at the six VITA sites.
An Indianapolis man was arrested after being pursued by police along Interstate 69 on Monday. Ryan M. McGill, 27, has been arrested and charged through Monroe County with resisting law enforcement on foot after a 30 mile pursuit along I-69. McGill was initially stopped at 8:32 a.m. for speeding at the I-69 82.5 mile mark by Master Trooper
Scott Miller. However, when Miller approached the white 1999 Dodge mini-van, McGill accelerated and began driving north, according to an Indiana State Police press release. At the 93.5 mile marker, a pistol was thrown from the vehicle. It was recovered by another trooper in the pursuit. Around the 106 mile marker, a passenger began waving their hands and arms outside the window of the
vehicle. They were let out when the vehicle abruptly stopped before continuing to drive north. A tire deflation device was deployed at the 106.5 mile mark, which the vehicle drove over. It continued until the 112 mile marker when it pulled over into a steep ravine. McGill, the driver, fled on foot but was later located and placed into custody at 10:03 a.m. by the Bloomington Police Department, according to the press release.
A woman was also in the car and was detained. Charges against McGill are pending through Daviess, Green and Monroe Counties. He was also arrested on three outstanding warrants in Hendricks County, Indiana. He was placed in the Monroe County Jail before being transferred to the Hendricks County Jail, according to Hendricks County Jail officials.

MyFreeTaxes.com, a free online filing system, helped 497 taxpayers to file their taxes from home. Monroe County Public Library filed 398 returns and Twin Lakes Recreation Center filed 435 returns through partnerships with the AARP Tax Counseling for the Elderly. The Free Community Tax Service also had a team of bilingual IRS-certified tax preparers available to assist Spanish speakers. The City of Bloomington Community and Family Resources Department, El Centro Communal Latino and the IU La Casa/Cultural Center were partners in the effort. “We’re very appreciative of our local partners and volunteers. Demand for this valuable service continues to grow and we are already making plans that should increase capacity and service for 2018,” Amy Leyenbeck, United Way community initiatives director, said in the release. The Free Community Tax Service was made possible through grants from the IRS, AARP’s Tax Counseling for the Elderly and German American.

King named Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year From IDS Reports
Junior IU swimmer Lilly King has distinguished herself as one of the top young swimmers in the world during the past few years and has now added yet another award to her long list of personal achievements. On Wednesday, the Big
Ten announced the Hoosier swimmer as winner of the 2016-17 Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year Award. King becomes the first ever IU female athlete to win this award and is only the sixth Hoosier in school history to take home this honor. The Big Ten Conference has recognized a Jesse Owens
Male Athlete of the Year since 1982 and first honored a female recipient a year later in 1983. Her 2016-17 season was full of successes after garnering national attention at the Rio Olympics last summer, where she won a gold medal in the 100 breaststroke and the 400 medley
relay with Team USA. At the end of the 2016 Olympic Games, King won USA Swimming’s Golden Goggle Award for Breakout Performer of the Year. King continued her success as she dominated the competition at the Big Ten Championships. She won conference titles in the 100

both the 100 breaststroke and 200 breaststroke. The four-time NCAA champion became the first swimmer or diver in Big Ten history to win four individual national titles. King also ended the season with four All-America honors. Austin Ghirardelli

Hoosiers to play Cardinals IU adds four home games in Big Ten/ACC Challenge to non-conference schedule From IDS Reports
From IDS Reports
The 2017-18 matchups for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge were announced by the league offices Tuesday and IU will take on Louisville at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on November 30. This should be a good early season test for the Hoosiers as the Cardinals finished No. 12 in the final regular season poll last year. Louisville advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen after accumulating an overall record of 29-8, six more wins than the Hoosiers. Cardinals head coach Jeff Walz will return his leading scorer from last season, Asia Durr, who averaged 19.2 points and 3.4 rebounds a game. IU will also return its leading scorer from a season ago, Tyra Buss. The Hoosiers lead the alltime series, 7-3, and have history on their side as the home team has won every meeting between these two teams
IU added four more games to the team’s 201718 non-conference schedule as the Hoosiers will be host to the 2017 Hoosier Tip-Off Classic. This event will take place November 12 through 26 of this year and will feature five teams, including the Hoosiers. Howard, South Florida, Arkansas State and Eastern Michigan will faceoff against IU in head coach Archie Miller’s first season will the team. IU will play in the initial game of the Tip-Off Classic on Sunday, Nov. 12 against Howard. The Hoosiers will then be host to South Florida one week later, Nov. 19. The team’s final two games will be Nov. 22 and Nov. 24 against Arkansas State and Eastern Michigan, respectively. None of the five teams competing made the 2017 NCAA Tournament.

IU announced four preseason home games for the 2017-18 men's basketball season. IU will play Howard on Nov. 12, South Florida on Nov. 19, Arkansas State on Nov. 22 and Eastern Michigan on Nov. 24.
However, these games will add to IU’s 2017-18 nonconference schedule that already consists of four teams that did make an appearance in last year’s big dance. The Hoosiers already have non-conference games scheduled against Seton Hall in this year’s Gavitt Cup, Louisville, Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic

It might not matter if Hollywood makes bad films. The above graphic visualizes the performance of the top 20 most-expensive July 4 blockbusters of all time in terms of critical acclaim (the Rotten Tomatoes score on the X axis) and commercial success (the first week opening gross on the Y axis).
Point radius is a function of production budget. Some movies find success and critical acclaim, like “Spider-Man 2.” Others are dead on arrival, like “Wild Wild West.” All values are adjusted for inflation.

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON
For better or worse, the defining summer blockbuster of our lives is Michael Bay’s “Transformers.” It’s an absolute juggernaut, designed as much to pack viewers into theaters as it is to dominate foreign box offices. You can buy the toys, play the video games and read the novelizations by Peter David. It’s a franchise emblematic not only of Hollywood’s fixation with “Expanded Long Form Cinematic Universes” but also its increasingly expensive July 4 blockbusters that, in recent years, have returned less and less impressive opening week box office performances, according to statistics from Box Office Mojo. As we enter this year’s summer blockbuster season, I decided to take a look at July 4 opening weekends since 1985. Using data downloaded from Box Office Mojo and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), I sought to quantify what films and movie studios dominate the most important blockbuster weekend of the summer, and how those trends have shifted over the years. Does an expensive movie guarantee a successful movie? Does a high-grossing movie have any correlation to a good movie? Are we really all enslaved by Michael Bay and his Decepticons, or does it just feel that way? To the left are the top 10 highest grossing July 4 opening weekends since 1985, adjusted for inflation. If you’ve felt like Hollywood has recently churned out a disproportionate number of remakes and sequels, you might might be on to something. Nine of the top 10 most profitable opening July 4 weekends were either reboots of existing properties (“Transformers,” “War of the Worlds,” “The Amazing Spider-Man,” and “Superman Returns”) or sequels (anything with a “2” or the slightly more pretentious “II” tacked onto it). “Hancock,” the 2008 Will Smith superhero vehicle and the sole original property, is anything but fresh; according to the data set, the film sits at a 41% Freshness on popular review aggregate site rottentomatoes.com. “Hancock” aside, it’s not difficult to see why Hollywood falls back on established properties. Even after adjusting for inflation, movies are significantly more expensive to make than they were in the ‘80s and ‘90s. After adjusting for inflation, a big film in the 1980s cost somewhere between $30 and $60 million dollars to produce. Now the most expensive blockbusters can cost upwards of $200 million, and that doesn’t take into account the cost of promotion, which as a rule of thumb generally costs half of what production does.
Cost, popularity and acclaim. Are they related?
SPIDER-MAN 2
By Bryan Brussee bbrussee@umail.iu.edu @BryanBrussee
Top 20 Best Opening July 4th Weekends since 1982 1. Spider-Man 2, $125,491, 300 2. Transformers: Dark of the Moon, $108,944,500 3. Independence Day, $100,456, 500 4. Men in Black, $98, 354,100 5. Despicable Me 2, $94,170,000
6. Transformers, $94,170, 000 7. War of the Worlds, $89,473,900 8. Men in Black II, $79,345,100 9. Hancock, $77,077,800 10. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, $74,334,200
And finally, the question becomes: If Hollywood is dominated by incredibly expensive prequels, sequels and Autobots, does anybody actually enjoy Hollywood blockbusters anymore? This page’s chart — visualizing the Rotten Tomatoes rating and opening gross of the top 20 highest-grossing July 4 blockbusters of all time — doesn’t really offer any answers. Each circle represents a film whose size is a function of its budget. About half of the films, the ones that land to the left of the X axis’ 50% freshness rating, can be reasonably considered “bad movies.” The other half are “good movies.” On average, the bad movies return about $70 million in their opening weekend, and the good
11. Superman Returns, $70,902,300 12. The Amazing Spider-Man, $70,452,600 13. Armageddon, $68,024,600 14. The Perfect Storm, $67,776,100 15. Terminator 2: Judgement Day, $66,700,000
16. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, $64,564,900 17. The Firm, $54,235,700 18. Apollo 13, $51,522,700 19. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, $49,402,500 20. Wild Wild West, $48,180,600
movies make about $69 million. There’s a few obvious exceptions — that giant circle floating at the top with Bumblebee represents the $108 million opening “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” which sits at 34% on rottentomatoes.com and Arnold Schwarenegger in the bottom right-hand corner represents “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” You get the idea. When we look back on our summers from the twilight of old age, we will remember the smell of sunscreen, the sound of fireworks crackling and the sight of lumbering CGI aliens who inexplicably like to hang out with Shia LaBeouf and Mark Wahlberg. We will also remember that, even when analyzed, Hollywood makes absolutely no sense.

‘Baby Driver’ never gasses out By Clark Gudas ckgudas@umail,iu.edu @This_isnt_Clark
Before “Baby Driver” played, director Edgar Wright appeared on the theater screen. “Thank you for coming to enjoy the movie the way it was intended,” Wright said. “As large and as loud as possible.” From the director of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “Hot Fuzz” and “Shaun of the Dead” is the high-octane crime thriller “Baby Driver.” The story follows Baby — played by Ansel Elgort— as he drives the getaway car for dangerous heists during the day and looks after his deaf caretaker (CJ Jones) at night. Reserved and eccentric, he says little and listens to his iPod when driving to relax and give him an edge behind the wheel. “Baby Driver” drifts between those large and loud qualities with original writing and confident footing. Story and character are just as central to the movie as the action sequences. Baby’s relationships dissolve as he works with mentally unhinged criminals such as the arrogant, trigger-happy Bats (Jamie Foxx) and their manipulative leader Doc (Kevin Spacey). Baby falls in love with a local waitress,
Deborah (Lily James) and has to reconcile with these colliding characters. The writing is strong, and each character’s personal motivations collide as stakes shoot higher and swerve the story in unexpected directions. Music and sound are crucial to the plot. Featuring classic rock artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, The Beach Boys and Queen, the music Baby listens to on heists delivers fun, adrenaline-fueling music to amplify the tension. Where the movie really shines is in its sound design. The low hum in Baby’s ear, which he and the audience can only hear when he isn’t focused on his music, claws at his sanity and makes for creative characterization. Another particular sound concept is how actions falls in beat with whatever song is playing in the background, whether shooting enemies, opening doors or flipping through stacks of hundred dollar bills. After a shootout aligns perfectly to the beat of The Champs’ “Tequila,” an explosion lands on the last note. It keeps the action from becoming tedious or stale. The movie has no qualms with injecting moments of comedy and lightheartedness into it’s otherwise seri-
MOVIE STILLS DATABASE
Baby, played by Ansel Elgort, on the way to the post office job in TriStar Pictures' “Baby Driver”
ous plot. Baby is carefree and often plays air guitar, drums on the steering wheel and dances while his team robs a bank. The writing even has the confidence to throw jokes in the midst of serious moments. When staking out a heist with Baby, a boy sizes up the
cashier. “Just say ‘boo’ and she’ll give you the big bills first,” the boy said. These moments of lighthearted fun keep the drama from becoming exhausting. Scenery shifts often. The movie spends time in murky, midnight sweat shops and sun-lit afternoons.
The lighting and dynamic sets allow for moments of recuperation before diving back into the action. While car chases in “Baby Driver” don’t offer anything unordinary to action movies, the stunts are still exciting. Whether driving on sloped walls, jump-
ing over moving cars or just trashing car after car, chases and gunfights bring an almost “Mad Max” level of vehicular rampage. Overall, “Baby Driver” delivers story, action and thrills, each quality just as compelling a reason to watch as the others.
BOOKSHELF BACKLOG
‘Seven Husbands’ is a mesmerizing journey through Old Hollywood “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid hooked me from the first page and held me captive until the final period. “Seven Husbands” has everything a summer read should: a glamorous Hollywood backdrop, intense love affairs, a beautiful and heart wrenching twist, and characters who are nowhere near perfect but admirable in their convictions nonetheless. Reid’s narrative is two-fold.
There is Monique Grant’s story, which takes place in the present day, and Evelyn Hugo’s retelling of her life through the lens of her many husbands. For Monique, a biracial journalist who is trying to rise from the middle of the pack to become a big-name journalist, the frankly puzzling chance to exclusively interview Evelyn about her life is an opportunity she cannot pass up. But it does not come without
consequences. The novel shows Monique as a woman who has yet to come into her self, and the reader will enjoy watching her not only learning from Evelyn, but also learning to trust herself and her instincts. The majority of the novel, though, is seen through Evelyn’s eyes—and they are very, very experienced eyes. Readers can learn a thing or two from Evelyn: in love, in life, and in taking no
prisoners. Evelyn is the sort of badass female character that uses what she has at her disposal to go after what she wants and protects those whom she loves unapologetically and without regret. She is a woman other women love to hate, but just can’t bring themselves to, and a fascinating person to delve into as a reader. Like life, the situations Reid writers her characters into are complex and filled
with gray areas. Even when the story behind Evelyn’s choice in picking Monique as her biographer is revealed, readers won’t be able to fully side with anyone involved. “Seven Husbands” is a book about love, but even more it’s a book about understanding who you are and not apologizing for what it took for you to get there. And as the narrative jumps from New York to Los
Katherine Schulze is a recent graduate in journalism and history.
Angeles to Europe its also a true Hollywood A-list adventure. Whether you are a fan of celebrity gossip or believe love comes in all forms, Reid will leave you wanting more. schulzek@indiana.edu @kas_schulze
‘Synthfest’ to come to BCT in July From IDS reports

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 “I’m young enough to connect to a younger crowd. Teenagers feel comfortable coming up to me,” she said. “But I’m mature enough to talk to the governor of Indiana.” Still, she’s had to do a lot of growing in the aftermath of Miss Indiana. The morning after her crowning, Begay was up at 5 a.m. to do press appearances. She’s bounced from meeting to appearance since then, maintaining her social media presence the entire time. In the months leading up to the Miss America competition, she’ll have to balance appearances at events and volunteering hours with preparing for the competition’s talent, on-stage question, interview and swimsuit categories. The demanding schedule of being Miss Indiana means that Begay has decided to

categories. If IU wants to buyout his contract, IU would owe Miller 100-percent of his remaining salary before March 31, 2022 and 50-percent of his remaining salary any date after that. He will receive a cell phone stipend of $125 a month and IU will provide
him on a loan basis two late model cars. Also, he gets eight football season tickets, eight passes to all other IU Athletics’ events, two parking passes for football, two parking passes for men’s basketball, unlimited family use of the IU Golf Course, and eight season ticket to
regular season home basketball games. At Miller’s request, he could receive up to 20 single game tickets in the lower bowl at home regular season basketball games. For Adidas gear, he has an allowance of $10,000 for the placement of orders.

take a year off of school at IU. She’ll return for her sophomore year next year, she said. “I wanted the full experience of Miss Indiana and Miss America,” she said. She’s grateful for the opportunities she was able to experience in her freshman year at IU, though. In a single year at IU, she served as the service chair of pageantry at IU and helped organize and emceed the Miss IU pageant. She also began work on her Media School major with a focus in broadcast news, a Spanish major and psychology minor. In September, she hopes to break the top 15 at Miss America, and along the way, connect with as many people as possible. For Begay, the Miss Indiana crown is an “opportunity to inspire and show your love for Hoosiers.” She will also use the title as a platform to advance her work on combating domestic violence. Charity work is a major component of

competing at Miss Indiana. Each contestant selects a platform, which she then does work for throughout the year. The contestants undergo a on-stage question in which they answer questions about their platforms. Haley’s chosen platform was “Don’t Silence the Violence: Domestic Violence.” She’s also created her own charity called “Domestic Dollars,” and she volunteers at Middleway House
in Bloomington and Sheltering Wings in Pittsboro. She hopes that her Miss Indiana title will allow her to get involved in the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Abuse. “Your crown is a megaphone,” she said. “People look at you when you have a crown on your head.” That crown has four points on it – scholarship, service, style and success. Begay said she hopes to
exemplify all those qualities, but do so while remaining authentically herself. She’s had people try to change her by suggesting she get hair and eyelash extensions – not that Begay sees anything wrong with these things. They’re just not her. “I’m not going to win as someone I’m not,” she said. “There’s no reason to be nervous because you already know everything there is to know about yourself.”

winning percentage during the period. The move will be a homecoming for Bell. An Indianapolis-native, she attended Franklin Central High School before playing at the University of Kentucky from 2009-2012. Bell’s on-field accomplishments included pitching the first no-hitter and the first perfect game in Kentucky history, setting the school record for strikeouts in a season and setting the school single-game strikeout record. She left Kentucky as the all-time winningest pitcher in Wildcat history. “I would like to thank Coach Stanton and the athletic department for the opportunity to return to the state of Indiana and become a part of the Hoosier Softball staff,” Bell said. “The amount of support shown by the athletic department already has been overwhelming.” After spending a season as a student assistant coach at Kentucky, Bell went to Marshall and oversaw the development of then-freshman pitcher Jordan Dixon. Dixon was named the 2017 Conference USA Pitcher of the Year after compiling a 3210 record and a 1.87 ERA. As a team, Marshall recorded a 2.32 ERA in 2017, compared to a 3.91 mark put up by IU. Bell’s track record with a strikeout pitcher in Dixon could bode well for her time at IU, and specifically with regard to sophomore pitcher Tara Trainer. On offense, Fearn will bring a speedy style of play to Bloomington. Fearn’s four-year run with the Thundering Herd saw Marshall break the school record for stolen bases in a season on three occasions, twice leading the country in stolen bases. Marshall was the third coaching stop for Fearn after stints at Georgia Southern and her alma mater, UNLV. Fearn played for the Rebels from 2006-2009. “This is a very exciting opportunity to be a part of Indiana University and to compete with the Hoosier Softball program for a Big Ten Championship,” Fearn said. “I am thrilled to be able to continue developing strong, confident young women in the classroom, community, and on the field with Shonda and Chanda.” Fearn will also work with the outfield as part of her assistant-coaching responsibilities. The arrival of Bell and Fearn means graduate assistant Michelle Huber is the only member of IU’s 2016 coaching staff to remain in her prior role. Former assistant coach Ben Sorden is no longer with the team. Another former assistant, Mike Perniciaro, was recently named the head softball coach at Indiana State last week.

Planned Parenthood care lowers unplanned pregnancies
EDITORIAL BOARD
Julia Bourkland is a junior in political science.
ILLUSTRATION BY GRACE HAWKINS | IDS
Trump’s feud with the press weakens our democracy The behavior from the White House has tarnished our reputation abroad The early days of this week delivered a slew of journalistic controversies, provoking a renewal of the White House’s combative and tired relationship with the United States press corps. The Editorial Board believes the behavior of the White House compromises our democracy by placing undue stress on our nation’s press corps, hindering them from being able to effectively and confidently do their jobs. President Donald Trump and members of his administration issued a series of inflammatory remarks, Twitter tirades and childlike insults that continue to weaken our system of government and tarnish our nation’s reputation abroad. Sparks ignited Saturday when CNN was forced to retract a news story that claimed the Senate was investigating a meeting between Anthony Scaramucci, a member of Trump’s transition team, and an executive of a Russian investment fund. When the story proved to be untrue, CNN apologized
to Scaramucci, erased all links related to the piece and accepted the resignations of three reporters. Resignations, it should be noted, are usually reserved for acts of plagiarism, according to the Washington Post. Trump interpreted the event as a personal victory, lashing out at several major news networks—except for Fox—on Twitter this past Tuesday. “So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!” the President tweeted. Concerning Russia, the Washington Post’s Fact Checker has compiled a timeline of every instance Trump called Russia stories hoaxes and found the president usually “contradicted his own past statements or statements from members of his administration.” The fire continued burning Tuesday during a press briefing put on by Deputy Press Secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders, who promoted her own bit of “fake news.” “There’s a video circulating now—whether it’s accurate or not, I don’t know—but I would encourage everyone in this room and, frankly, everybody across the country to take a look at it,” Sanders remarked. The video Sanders referenced, which claims to reveal a CNN producer admitting that all of the Russia stories are “fake,” was published by a man who has been repeatedly accused of journalistic malpractice and deceptively editing his videos, according to the Washington Post. Meanwhile, the White House has begun barring video and audio recordings of its briefings several times each week and the press secretaries are addressing fewer questions at each, according to the New York Times. And in other relevant—albeit less dramatic—news, Time Magazine has asked Trump to remove fake covers of its publication featuring the President’s image, which are displayed at some of his golf clubs, accord-
ing to the Guardian. In other words, the Donald Trump administration has no business being the arbiter of truth or integrity. And this reflects on our reputation abroad. Pew Research published a survey of 37 countries this week, which found that 74 percent of respondents have “no confidence” in our president. Seventy-five percent view Trump has “arrogant,” while only twenty-six percent think of him as “well-qualified to be president.” And more people “dislike American ideas about democracy” than those who approve of them. It is imperative that we maintain an appropriate, informative and respectful relationship between our government and our press, regardless of how convenient the facts may be for either. Most importantly, it is incumbent upon both to be honest. When networks, such as CNN, recognize their mistakes, they apologize. But we’ve yet to witness the same courtesy from the Trump
DEER IN THE WORKS
Jeff Sessions’ op-ed encourages an already failed approach Last week, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post that “drug trafficking is an inherently dangerous business. If you want to collect a drug debt, you can’t, and don’t, file a lawsuit in court. You collect it by the barrel of a gun.” He has used this thinking to resurrect the longfailed War on Drugs that goes against the growing bipartisan support for criminal justice reform. He has announced his intention to imprison more non-violent drug offenders, expand the police state, and crack down on medical marijuana users. These things would happen in a country that already runs the largest prison system in the developed world, according to Prison Policy Initiative, and commits its penal labor, unprotected by the 13th amendment, to a life of modern
slavery. Where Sessions’ logic fails is his misunderstanding of the nature of black markets. Drug trafficking is violent for the same reason liquor trafficking was violent in the Prohibition era. When markets aren’t protected by the state’s monopoly on violence, parties can afford to renege on their contracts and promises. Illegality motivates traffickers to take enforcement into their own hands. Decriminalizing and taxing dispensaries, like what Massachusetts, Washington and Colorado have done with marijuana, undercuts the illicit market, weakening the power of criminals and reducing violence. A revived “tough on crime” stance that attacks suppliers would do little to stop illicit drug consumption. Any economics teacher can tell you reducing supply in a market with
inelastic demand—like the market for addictive substances—wouldn’t reduce the quantity bought and consumed. Rather, it’s more likely that a crackdown on suppliers would simply raise prices. Similarly, researchers continue to find that tougher penalties and longer jail time does little difference in deterring crime than lighter sentences, according to the Sentencing Project. It would be wiser of Sessions to realize that the worst drug epidemic of our time is not marijuana, methamphetamines, or even heroin, but prescription opioids. Over two million Americans suffer from debilitating addictions to pain relievers, which is more than meth and heroin addicts combined, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. And the rate in Indiana is higher than the national
average. Perverse fiscal incentives for doctors and aggressive ad campaigns by big pharma companies have pushed opioids like Vicodin, OxyContin, and fentanyl onto millions of desperate people. Sessions and our own state prosecutors could better spend their time taking on big pharma and the pain industry for things like false advertising, as the state legislature in Kentucky is doing, according to the Kentucky Law Journal. A better drug policy would focus on the demand of drug consumption by supporting educational programs, supervised injections and rehabilitation. Progressive public programs in Portugal, Canada, and the United Kingdom offer medical-grade heroin to addicts—which undercuts the black market—supervise injection sites, and mandate the inclusion of

substance abuse treatment in public insurance programs, none of which is addressed in the Republican health care proposals, according to Mother Jones. We could go a long way to a healthier, more secure public by transitioning opioid-based painkillers to cannabinoids and rewriting the fiscal incentives that lead doctors to overprescribe, according to the Washington Post. To be clear, I support a drug policy that reduces dependency, violent crime and minimizes risks to public health. Sessions, however, has failed to offer policies that achieve these goals. Rather, it seems that people like him sacrifice the well-being of vulnerable Americans on the altar of wishful thinking. It’s time for change.
The latest effort in the GOP saga to undermine American health care comes with an unsurprising ploy to restrict access to Planned Parenthood, which offers family planning and preventative care. With each step in the Republicans’ fight to replace the Affordable Care Act, pro-lifers find new ways of politicizing women’s bodies. So we shouldn’t be surprised when a GOP health care bill comes along, it includes another attempt to defund our country’s most prominent women’s health organization. Unsurprisingly, the Congressional Budget Office reported that the Better Care Reconciliation Act, the latest Senate Republican health care bill, would lead to thousands of unplanned pregnancies as a result of cuts to Planned Parenthood. According to Vox, the bill prohibits people from receiving family planning services, reproductive health care and abortion services under several health care plans. Planned Parenthood offers this complete trifecta of services. If the bill passes, low-income American women on Medicaid would be barred from receiving care from the facility best equipped to provide these services to them. Meanwhile, attempts to defund Planned Parenthood directly contradict statistical evidence that access to contraceptives and legal abortion reduces the rate of unplanned pregnancies and abortion, in turn. The Guttmacher Institute, the country’s leading think tank on reproductive health, reported that our abortion rate is at a historic low since the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion access across the country. Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards said via Twitter that the data “shows that we’re finally doing a better job of helping women get access to birth control that’s affordable and that’s high-quality.” Preventative health care services like Planned Parenthood have been empirically correlated with fewer unplanned pregnancies and fewer abortions. Comprehensive sex education and contraceptive access permit more women, couples and families to gain the knowledge necessary to properly plan their future. It’s frustrating to see pro-life politicians and their constituents more interested in keeping women in the dark than helping provide them with the preventative care that lowers abortion rates in the first place. Sadly, efforts to restrict reproductive health care on all levels—from access to birth control to abortion—are nothing new. Earlier this year, Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life told Joy Reid on MSNBC that in her ideal world, birth control methods like the pill and IUD would be made illegal because they “kill children,” just as abortions do. Days ago, the Missouri State Senate considered legislation that would allow employers and landlords to punish women for their reproductive health choices, such as using birth control or having previously had an abortion, according to Newsweek. It’s clear that the pro-life ideology is about bodily control and forced birth. If their movement was truly about protecting life, pro-life politicians and advocates would focus their efforts on providing the preventative care that reduces abortion rates in the first place. Instead, their efforts are focused on taking sexual health and reproductive resources away from the American public, putting women, couples and families in danger. Let women be in control of their own bodies so they can make the best decisions for themselves and their futures.
