Wrestling character Dr. Jacob Omen takes on Old Timer Jeff King during Olde Wrestling’s Indiana debut event, A Bonanza of Bodyslams, at Cornerstone Center for the Arts Saturday. The event, which celebrates vintage-style wrestling, aimed to get in 50 bodyslams by the end of the night.

othing could wipe the smile off of 6-year-old Max Calhoun’s face.

He was ecstatic as he watched grown men and women slam each other into the ring 50 times during Olde Wrestling’s “A Bonanza of Bodyslams,” but every now and then Max would jump out of his seat and sprint out the door.

He had to make sure his 4-year-old sister Reese knew what was going on.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Joe Winkle, who retired in 2008, resumes role as police chief Mayor Dennis Tyler announced at a press conference Friday that Joe Winkle will be replacing Steve Stewart as Muncie’s police chief.

On Tuesday, Winkle sat down with Tyler and solidified the position, he said.

After speaking with Tyler about the police department and its direction, Winkle will be leaving his position as the director of the Delaware County Emergency Communications Center.

“This appointment will take effect upon Joe’s official resignation as current director for the Emergency Operations Center at 911 and the appointment of the new director,” Tyler said. “Until that time, Deputy Chief Mark Vollmar will continue to oversee the day to day operations of our Muncie Police Department.”

Winkle was sworn in as Muncie’s police chief in 1996 and served until he retired in 2008. He then went on to serve as the director of the Delaware County Emergency Communications Center.

“Guys, he just did a bodyslam!” Max would say before sprinting back to his ringside seat.

Reese’s little ears couldn’t quite handle the loud banging when bodies hit the floor of the ring or when the crowd erupted into old-fashioned chants of “hogwash” or “huzzah,” so their parents, Rob and Ashley, took turns watching with her from the much quieter hallway of Cornerstone Center for the Arts.

Ball State is no longer playing for bowl eligibility, but it has a chance to keep its rival out of the postseason.

The Cardinals (4-7, 1-6 MAC) travel to Yager Stadium to take on the Miami RedHawks (5-6, 5-2 MAC) Tuesday in the final game of the regular season.

Miami has won five straight and can win the MAC East Division with a win and an Akron loss.

Ball State and Miami don’t start playing the “Red Bird Rivalry” until next season, but head coach Mike Neu knows this is still an important game.

“Of course that’s a big deal [to knock them out of bowl contention],” Neu said. “Yes, there is a lot on the line for them right now. But there’s a lot on the line for us, too — and sending our seniors out on a high note.”

THE ISSUE

EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic to see what's happening around the globe.

Debate over ‘Hamilton’ speech exposes post-election cracks The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump demanded an apology from the cast of the Broadway musical “Hamilton” a day after an actor in the hit show delivered a pointed message about diversity to his running mate who was in attendance. The speech aimed at Mike Pence prompted angry responses from liberals and conservatives alike — underscoring yet again the fractious aftermath of the 2016 election.

The bitter back-and-forth came after the vice president-elect caught Friday night’s performance of “Hamilton” with his nephew and daughter. A mixture of boos and cheers could be heard inside the theater as Pence took his seat. When the show ended, Pence was asked by a cast member to hear a prepared speech after the curtain call from the multiracial and multicultural cast, saying it is concerned about the Trump administration.

“We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” said Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, the nation’s third vice president, as his fellow actors joined hands. “We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.”

The unusual address quickly went viral and Trump on Saturday tweeted that it was “very rude,” arguing that Pence was “harassed” and theater “must always be a safe and special place.” He urged the cast to apologize.

4-DAY FORECAST Ethan Rosuck Weather Forecaster

Dixon responded on Twitter that “conversation is not harassment sir” and added that he appreciated Pence stopping to listen.

Pence had ducked out before Dixon finished the unprecedented message but heard the full remarks from the hallway outside the auditorium.

Trump transition officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A representative for the show said none of the cast members would be available to speak Saturday.

Melissa Kremholz, of Indianapolis, the capital of Pence’s home state of Indiana, attended the show Friday night and was seeing it again Saturday afternoon. She said she could see how Dixon’s speech might be interpreted as impolite and gave Pence credit for coming, but backed the Broadway cast’s right to explain how uneasy many Americans feel.

“I think it was really important for them to speak what they had to say because the whole musical talks about how our country came to be and our American values and how our country was built on immigrants and people of all different backgrounds,” she said.

“I think it’s really important that they actually spoke their minds and I think they did so very respectfully, too.”

The show’s official Facebook page was inundated with comments ranging from calling Dixon’s speech “disrespectful,” ‘’inappropriate” and “uncalled for.” Many threatened to not buy tickets to future performances.

Tickets for the show are not available for another year; “Hamilton” is sold out through September 2017.

Small-scale Thanksgiving dinner Emma Rogers & Tyson Bird Dinner for 2ish Editor’s Note: Emma Rogers and Tyson Bird are senior journalism majors who write “Dinner for 2ish” for the Daily News. Their views do not necessarily agree with those of the paper.

We started cooking together in the summer of 2015 and have planned and cooked a dinner every week since. Our recipes are often inspired by the New York Times’ cooking website but are adapted to fit Muncie availability and a college budget. We know not everyone will make it home for Thanksgiving — but that shouldn’t stop you from cooking something nice. This Thanksgiving dinner can be made in a little more than an hour and has all of the classics — even turkey.

Roasted turkey breast

Cranberry-orange sauce

INGREDIENTS

Make this while the turkey is roasting

• 1fresh turkey breast — we bought ours at Marsh, found by the fresh packaged chicken near the meat counter. Ours was 3.5 lbs and cost $12, but made enough turkey for four people.

• Olive oil • Salt • Pepper

Directions: 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2

Coat the breast on both sides with olive oil, salt and pepper. Be sure to massage the seasoning into the meat.

3

Place the breast skin-side up into a foil-lined baking dish and place into the oven.

4

5 6

As soon as you place the turkey in the oven, reduce the heat to 350 degrees.

This will allow the skin to get crispy and brown, but the meat to stay juicy.

Bake for one hour or until the thickest part of the meat reaches 165 degrees.

Our 3.5 lb breast took closer to an hour and 15 minutes.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bag of fresh cranberries, rinsed • 1 orange, skin washed • 1 cup sugar • 1/2 cup water • 1/2 cup orange juice (you may be able to get all of this from the orange — if not, use extra water)

Directions: 1 2

“The system is I give my husband the evil eye, and he comes and switches me out,” Ashley said.

Justin Nottke put the show together, and when he saw Reese crying he grabbed a pennant and gave it to her — all while staying in character as Marion Fontaine, a charismatic bare-knuckle boxer with a thick, furry mustache.

“I try to blend professional wrestling with live theater as much as possible,” Justin said. “Like telling a story in the wrestling ring so it’s not just the athletic aspect of it, but you feel like you’re in a three-act play.”

The setting of A Bonanza of Bodyslams was the 1920s, featuring characters like The Lobbying Legislators of Anti-Saloon

Begin cooking these about 30 minutes after placing the turkey in the oven. They can be in the oven at the same time and temperature as the meat.

INGREDIENTS

This is a baked potato made without the use of an oven. Make these while the turkey sits covered in foil, so it will be piping hot when you serve it.

INGREDIENTS

• A potato (or several) • Butter • Sour cream • Cheese

Directions:

Directions:

Cut stems off the sprouts, then cut them in half lengthwise. Some of the leaves will fall off, and that’s OK.

2

Heat enough olive oil to cover a large pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

3

Once the liquid is boiling, add the cranberries and stir until they have returned to a boil.

Place the sprouts face-down in the oil and cover with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

4

Reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally for about 10 minutes.

The cranberries will burst and the sauce will become thicker as it cooks.

Allow the sprouts to cook for about 3 minutes, until they are slightly browned.

5 6

While that’s heating, use a cheese grater to zest some of the rind of the orange. You want to end up with about a teaspoon, but there’s no need to be precise.

Easiest potato ever

• 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, rinsed • Olive oil • Garlic powder, salt and pepper

1

Bring the sugar, water and orange juice to a boil in a medium pan over high heat.

Remove the turkey from the oven and cover with foil for 10-15 minutes before serving.

WRESTLING

Brussels sprouts

1

Wash the potato under cool running water.

2

Use a fork to poke 5-8 holes all around it, to allow steam to escape while it cooks.

3

Place the potato on a microwavesafe plate and cook on high for five minutes.

4

Turn the potato over and cook for another five minutes.

5

Pour the whole works (oil too) onto a foil-covered baking sheet.

Remove carefully from the microwave and serve, cutting a slit down the middle to load with butter, sour cream and cheese.

Place in the oven with the turkey (350 degrees) for 10-15 minutes, until soft.

DINNER FOR 2ISH

Land, mobsters and moonshiners — though there was an awkward moment when the “drunk” moonshiners came on stage and Max asked his parents what they were drinking.

Physical comedy abounded, though, like when the moonshiners would accidentally dodge punches by stumbling. Max and Reese’s dad described it as being similar to the shows he watched as a kid.

“Definitely ‘Bugs Bunny,’ ‘Three Stooges’ — old-school fun,” Rob said.

His son, however, doesn’t watch many cartoons or comedy sketches. Max is a budding history buff who loves watching World War II documentaries, so the art deco look of the Heritage Room — complete with arches, balconies and circular chandeliers with exposed bulbs — made the show feel more realistic.

“I like this room because they didn’t make it look like it’s old,” Max said. “It actually really is old-fashioned so that’s

Wrestling character Rep. Gavin Q. Volstead punishes a criminal character with 10 bodyslams during Olde Wrestling’s Indiana debut event, A Bonanza of Bodyslams, at Cornerstone Center for the Arts Saturday.

The event, which celebrates vintage-style wrestling, aimed to get in 50 body slams by the end of the night.

why I like being in this room.”

Justin would be happy to hear that, because the building is one of the reasons why he takes his traveling show through Delaware County.

“We really stopped in Muncie on a chance,” Justin said. “We saw this really cool building and this is perfect for our time period. Old buildings now are either demolished or updated, so finding this is like a diamond in the rough.”

The small room also amplified the crowd noise, which was great for the wrestlers, if not Reese. Many fans dressed up in suits, dresses and fedoras to match the ‘20s motif, and Justin said the wrestlers embrace the intimate setting.

For example, Gavin Quinn, as he’s known in the wrestling world, switched up his stage name to Gavin Q. Volstead for the themed event.

“We feed off [the crowd] and they feed off us,” Gavin said. “So if I come out there with a real negative energy, then they’re going to feed off that and feel my energy and give me negative response, which is what I want, and visa versa with the positive. So when they’re in on it, and they’re reacting the way we have been trained to teach them how to react, that’s what makes this show the best.”

But Quinn’s energy wasn’t all negative. As he delivered a 10-bodyslam punishment to a “criminal” on stage, he saw Max raising a finger with each slam.

So Quinn turned and started counting with Max. “Give me a seven!” Gavin, rather, Volstead, shouted. “Give me an eight!”

Justin said that interaction and randomness is one of the strengths of telling a story through wrestling as opposed to an outright play.

“So you just have to learn to adapt in that quick moment to capture that interactivity, and I think a lot of other forms of entertainment can’t really do that,” Justin said. “So a lot of the times, when we’re working on the fly, that gives the best result sometimes.”

By the end of the show, Reese had seen enough to be hooked too. For the final

Max Calhoun, 6, counts as wrestling character Rep. Gavin Q. Volstead punishes a criminal character with 10 body slams during Olde Wrestling’s Indiana debut event, A Bonanza of Bodyslams, at Cornerstone Center for the Arts Saturday.

bout, she was sitting ringside with the rest of the Calhoun family — Max, Rob and her mother Ashley, who was covering Reese’s ears. “[Reese] was still a little far back, but she realized nothing bad was going to happen to her,” Ashley said. “Plus we bribed her with some M&Ms and then she was really into it. She actually said, ‘Can I come back again?’”

Ashley wasn’t even afraid of Max’s newfound enthusiasm for wrestling. She’s confident that he won’t try to use his sister as a tool for practicing his own body slams.

“I’m more worried that my husband will try it on him,” Ashley said with a laugh.

Still, when that last body slam fell and the champion was announced, Max’s smile flickered.

“I wanted the guy who won to win,” Max said. “I was just getting sad that it was ready to end.”

Friends get together to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal for a Friendsgiving celebration. Here are five tips to keep it stress free and enjoyable.

Plan a fun-filled Thanksgiving event with your best friends Andrew Smith Daily News Reporter

Friendsgiving is a great time to get together with your friends and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. If you are hosting a Friendsgiving this year, here is five tips to make sure you have stress-free, enjoyable time.

1. CREATE AN EVENT PAGE Create a Facebook event and have people RSVP. This way you know exactly how many people are coming. If you don’t hear back from them, reach out before you buy food. It is important to make sure you have

enough food for everyone.

2. TO-GO CONTAINERS Get to-go containers, or have guests bring some, to send your friends home with leftovers. They will love it and it is a good way to make sure all of the leftover food does not get thrown away or take up space in your fridge.

3. START PLANNING Plan out your meals — it is a good idea to make sure that you have your menu planned out well in advance. This way you can make a grocery list and plan out when you need to start cooking. If you have your menu and recipes planned out, it will make preparing the meal easier and less stressful.

4. ASK FOR HELP It’s perfectly OK to ask for help. Ask your friends to bring a side dish, dessert or beverage to share. Sites like signupgenius. com and signup.com or just having a Facebook group chat can make it easy to let your guests know what you will need.

5. WATCH YOUR BUDGET It’s easy to go grocery shopping and lose sight of your budget. Stick to it. Make sure you are planning out a budget for food, decorations, beverages and anything else you might want. Searching the newspaper or online websites for coupons is an easy way to save some money.

10 tips, tricks to survive Black Friday

Use this list to make your shopping trip stress-free Kirsten Wamsley Daily News Reporter

With the Thanksgiving season comes the deals for the holidays. Most people will take advantage of these sales during Black Friday, Nov. 25. However, it is not the safest and most convenient of days. If you plan on shopping for your family this week, here are a few tips on how to survive the craze that comes along with the holiday.

1. PLAN AHEAD Don’t just go and jump into shopping. Know what you want to get first. It will make it easier to ensure you get the right thing so you don’t have to deal with the hassles of returns. It will also make the your shopping trip go much more quickly if you can hit your favorite store first, or the best deals first. Planning your route and what you want to get makes things more convenient and faster.

2. USE APPS Using apps is a quick way to find the sales on your phone and exactly where to go. It makes it easy to get the best bargains on time before someone else can get to them.

3. TAKE ADS WITH YOU If you don’t have an app, take the ads for which stores you plan on going to. You will still be able to see where everything is and plan what you want to get based on the sales. There may also be coupons, which will make your purchases even cheaper.

4. SHOP ONLINE What better way to shop than in your pajamas? A lot of stores do online sales that are just as good, if not better, than the sales in store. You won’t have to fight the crowds or get out of bed, and you’ll get all of your purchases delivered to your doorstep.

5. SHOP EARLY A lot of stores open sales early — some even start Thursday evening.

This is good for those who want to get a head start or simply line up early if the store isn’t open yet. The first ones inside are usually the first ones out of the crowds.

6. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM Never go alone. The horror stories of people fighting over items, pushing others and jumping over displays are true. Don’t face that spectacle alone — take a friend or family member as back up, and someone who can watch and make sure no one will take things out of your cart.

7. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SECOND-HAND SHOPS These may not be ideal, but they usually benefit the community. There are also less crowds and usually even better deals. Shopping in local stores is typical for Saturdays after Thanksgiving, but it is not limited to just then.

8. STAY AWAY FROM BIG ELECTRONICS Unless you are shopping online, stay away from big electronics. These are hot items on Black Friday. People are going to be the most aggressive and this section will be the busiest.

Also, because of how busy the store will be, chances are slim you will be able to speak with a representative if you need assistance.

9. DRESS COMFORTABLY You are going to be running around frantic and dealing with unfriendly people, so you are going to want to be comfortable. Not to mention you will probably be standing for a few hours, especially when waiting to check out, so you will want to avoid heels or uncomfortable shoes.

10. JUST DON’T GO If the craze of Black Friday is too much for you, simply don’t shop. Just

because it is a big deal in the nation does not mean that you have to go. It is becoming a trend that places will be closed for the holiday season so people can be home with their families. There is also Cyber Monday on Nov. 28, the Internet’s version of the shopping holiday, so if you’d rather stay home, you can wait a few extra days and shop from the comfort of your home.

CARDINALS HEAD TO LAS VEGAS FOR MGM MAIN EVENT

Sophomore guard Tayler Persons drives the ball under the basket during the game against University of Indianapolis Nov. 3 in Worthen Arena.

The Cardinals will play their final two games of the MGM Grand Main Event in Las Vegas against Coppin State (0-4) today and Southern Utah (1-2) on Wednesday.

Ball State men’s basketball is in Las Vegas for the final two games of the MGM Grand Main Event.

Today the Cardinals (1-2) will play Coppin State (0-4) at 3:30 p.m. On Wednesday, the Cardinals take on Southern Utah (1-2) at 3:30 p.m.

Today's matchup against the Coppin State Eagles will only be the fourth meeting between the two. The last game (1995) came before some of the Cardinals were even born. Ball State leads the all-time series 2-1.

Coppin State is coming off a 94-51 loss to Utah. Last season, the Eagles finished 9-22 and 6-10 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

The Cardinals will have to stop Coppin State senior guard Josh Treadwell, who’s averaging 11 points and four rebounds throughout four games.

In Wednesday's matchup with the Southern Utah Thunderbirds, the Cardinals will have to deal with junior guard Randy Onwuasor, who's averaging 27 points, nine rebounds and seven assists per game in the teams three games.

The Cardinals split the first two games of the tournament, defeating Saint Louis 85-64 on opening night and falling to Alabama 7759 in the teams' first ever matchup against each other.

Sophomore guard Tayler Persons has been leading Ball State's offense with 20.7 points per game in his first three games after sitting out last season after transferring from Northern Kentucky University.

Persons also leads the Cardinals with six three-pointers made.

Senior forward Franko House leads the team on the boards, hauling in 9.0 rebounds per game. He also scores 18.0 points per game through three games this season.

House is 31 points away from becoming the 29th player to reach 1,000 career points in school history.

The Cardinals return to Worthen Arena Nov. 29 when they host IU Kokomo.

FOOTBALL Continued from page 1

The seniors have been a big part of improving on last season's 3-9 record.

One of those guys, wide receiver KeVonn Mabon, needs six catches against Miami to break the program record for career receptions. Dante Ridgeway currently holds the record with 238.

"I think it'll come in the flow of the game," Mabon said. "Coach [Joey] Lynch has been talking about it, so I know he's gonna try to throw some extra plays in there. But if he doesn't, I've been averaging five or six anyway, so it'll just come natural."

BALL STATE AT MIAMI

• Time: 7 p.m.

• Day: Tuesday • Place: Yager Stadium (Oxford, Ohio) • Watch: ESPN3

Mabon caught seven for 56 yards last week at Toledo, as sophomore quarterback Riley Neal threw for 260 yards and two scores. The offense might find it tougher this week, however, as Miami only gives up 347.3 yards per game and leads the MAC in total defense.

"They've got a good defense and it's definitely shown," Neal said. "Even before [they won five straight], they played with some good teams like Cincinnati. But just like every defense, there's stuff you can take advantage of."

Miami lost the first six games on its schedule, but after an 18-14 win over Kent State Oct. 15, the switch flipped.

During the winning streak, the RedHawks have outscored their opponents 158-96, and four of those wins have come by double digits.

Simply put, they do it with defense and by not turning the ball over on offense.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Gus Ragland is at the heart of that.

He returned to the lineup against Kent State after sustaining a knee injury in spring ball, and has provided an unquestioned spark.

Ragland only throws for 178.8 yards per game, but can also run the ball and has thrown no interceptions compared to 12 touchdowns.

"He's a guy that doesn't make any mistakes," Neu said. "He's been very consistent week in and week out, and has given his team an opportunity to win. ... Obviously, for them, it was a welcome return to the field for him. But we know we have to slow him down."

The last time these two teams met in 2012, when Ball State beat Miami 31-24 at Scheumann Stadium, some of this year's seniors like Mabon, Zack Ryan, Martez Hester and Aaron Taylor were freshmen.

Now it's the final game of their careers, and the Cardinals are using this game to get a head start on the Red Bird Rivalry beginning next season.

Grace Ramey // DN File

Ball State’s wide receiver KeVonn Mabon attempts to run the ball down the field during the game against Akron Oct. 22 in Scheumann Stadium. The Cardinals will play against the Miami RedHawks at Yager Stadium Tuesday for their final game of the regular season.

"Finishing on a high note, and then carrying that into preparation as we begin our offseason," Neu said. "There would be no better way to finish this season than to go to Miami and get a win."

Ball State and Miami will kick off at 7 p.m.

Can the Electoral College be changed?

Professor discusses likelihood of abandoning system

Max Lewis Daily News Reporter Although former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump in the presidential race, many people across the country are outraged, calling for an “abandonment” of the Electoral College, after she received nearly 1 million more popular votes than Trump.

Petitions are springing up across the internet calling for the electors of the Electoral College to abandon the way their states voted and instead vote for Clinton.

One petition on change.org has received almost 4.5 million signatures, and others are growing in signatures, too.

The Electoral College was originally set up by the founding fathers in the

constitution. Today, when elections are held, citizens vote for electors.

Each state has a certain amount of electors, and the number in each state is equal to how many representatives the state has in the House of Representatives plus two senators in the Senate. Indiana has a total of 11 electors.

The electors from all states meet later in December to vote for the president of the United States.

The Electoral College was originally established to prevent uneducated citizens of the time from deciding the outcome of the election — many people today now say the Electoral College is “outdated.”

One of those people, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), introduced legislation this week in the Senate that would abolish the Electoral College.

“In my lifetime, I have seen two

elections where the winner of the general election did not win the popular vote,” Boxer said. “The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately.”

In order to abolish the Electoral College, the bill would have to pass in the House of Representatives and Senate with a two-thirds majority. It would then go to the states, where 38 out of the 50 states would have to ratify the bill in order to amend the constitution.

The last amendment to be added to the constitution was the 27th amendment, which officially became a part of the constitution in 1992.

Joseph Losco, a professor of political science at Ball State, said while many people are “upset” about the results of the election, it would be “very difficult”

to change the Electoral College system.

“Large states will be reluctant to give up the numerical advantage they have,” Losco said. “Small states may be equally reluctant to yield to the will of populations in larger states.”

The last time a candidate won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote was in 2000, when Al Gore ran as the democratic candidate against George W. Bush. The electoral vote and the popular vote have not coincided on five occasions, which means they have, however, coincided over 90 percent of the time.

Regardless of the contention, Losco said he still has confidence in the system.

“That’s not a bad track record,” Losco said. “There will always be disagreements, and that’s normal.”

MPD CHIEF Continued from page 1

Winkle had previously served as merit sergeant in both investigative and uniform divisions for MPD before serving as chief.

“I’m very honored to have the opportunity to come home and that’s what it feels like. I’ve been gone for about five years and I’ve never really left in my heart,” Winkle said. “I always felt

ballstatedaily.com/housing

like I was still a police officer and I never dreamed this opportunity would come up, in fact I dismissed and got rid of all my uniforms and equipment, so I’ll be starting over from that standpoint.”

Winkle said he is more mature than when he previously served, and he thinks he now has a better handle on the community aspect of his position.
