Crime Reporter

A Muncie man was arrested Tuesday after a yearlong investigation into suspected dissemination of child pornography.

Walter Springston, 28, was taken into custody by Indiana State Police Tuesday morning and is preliminarily charged with eight counts of possession of child pornography, according to online court records.

The state police began an investigation in March 2016 after they received a tip about dissemination of child pornography, according to a press release. Investigators from the Pendleton District Detectives and Indiana State Police Cyber Crimes Unit brought the investigation to the Delaware County Prosecutors office earlier this month.

Springston is currently being held in the Delaware County Jail on a $146,000 bond.

Junior right fielder Jeff Riedel was almost the hero in Ball State’s 4-3 loss to Indiana at Victory Field Tuesday.

In the top of the ninth with the Cardinals trailing 3-2, two outs and junior pinch runner Alex Masotto on first, Riedel ripped the pitch from Hoosier junior righthanded pitcher Matt Lloyd down the first-base line, just over the outstretched glove of 6-foot-4-inch first baseman Matt Gorski.

Masotto scored on the RBI double to tie it up 3-3.

THE ISSUE

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

EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS

Overcoming Opioids: Special schools help teens stay clean The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Logan Snyder got hooked on pills after a prescription to treat pain from a kidney stone, she joined the millions already swept up in the nation’s grim wave of addiction to opioid painkillers.

She was just 14.

Youth is a drawback when it comes to kicking drugs. Only half of U.S. treatment centers accept teenagers and even fewer offer teen-focused groups or programs.

After treatment, adolescents find little structured support. They’re outnumbered by adults at self-help meetings. Sober youth drop-in centers are rare. Returning to school means resisting offers to get high with old friends.

But Snyder is lucky: Her slide ended when her father got her into a residential drug treatment program. Now 17 and clean, she credits her continued success to Hope Academy in Indianapolis, a tuition-free recovery school where she’s enrolled as a junior.

“I am with people all day who are similar to me,” she says. “We’re here to hold each other accountable.”

The opioid epidemic, which researchers say is the worst addiction crisis in U.S. history, has mostly ensnared adults, especially those in their 20s, 30s and 40s. But teens have not been spared: Each day, 1,100 start misusing pain pills. Opioids killed 521 teens in 2015, federal data show.

Not enough is known about opioids

4-DAY FORECAST Katie Pluchel Weather Forecaster

and teen brains. But getting hooked early is trouble — the vast majority of adults in treatment report they started using as teenagers.

Researchers say young recovering addicts do better at places like Hope, special schools that use peer communities to support sobriety. There are only about three dozen such schools in the U.S., but interest is growing among educators and health officials because of the opioid epidemic.

“I get a phone call every day from somebody who wants to start a recovery high school,” says Rachelle Gardner, an addiction counselor who helped found Hope in 2006 as a charter school through the mayor’s office. “It’s horrible to watch young people die. And who wants that to be our legacy?”

Hope’s 41 teenagers have abused marijuana, alcohol, painkillers and heroin. Most, like Snyder, have been through residential treatment, some more than once. Others, like 17-yearold Aiden Thompson, arrive with no treatment after a crisis.

“I was really pissed off because I didn’t want to be here,” says Thompson, who came to Hope last year after his mom discovered his vodka and pill stash. “Everything they said, I was like: ‘That can’t be true. No. No way.’”

A week later, though, he found himself talking in group meetings. Now, he said, “I don’t even want to think about where I would be” without the school.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Why I won't watch '13 Reasons Why'

Editor’s note: The author’s name has been withdrawn to protect their identity.

"13 Reasons Why” starts simply, with view of a makeshift locker memorial and a voiceover from the main character, Hannah Baker. Hannah has just committed suicide and is communicating with the show’s characters through a series of tapes detailing why she decided to take her own life.

Or at least that’s what I’ve heard.

I haven’t watched the show, and never will. As someone who struggles with depression and has had suicidal thoughts, I know watching this show would trigger me and send me spiraling because of the graphic nature of the suicide scene. The scene is so graphic, in fact, it violates the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s guidelines for reporting or depicting suicide. The guidelines say “risk of additional suicides increases when the story explicitly describes the suicide method, uses dramatic/graphic headlines or images, and repeated/extensive coverage sensationalizes or glamorizes a death.” By graphically showing Hannah’s suicide onscreen, “13 Reasons Why” irresponsibly puts many people at risk for suicide.

Honestly, I got lucky. I didn’t know what “13 Reasons Why” was about until I saw an article on “The Mighty” detailing its flaws, which is why I started advocating against the show. I’ve been looking for a new show on Netflix, and I almost clicked on the title a couple of times because I’d heard it was thrilling. If I had, I know that I wouldn’t have handled it well at all, given the state of my mental health. When I tell people that this show is going to kill people, I’m not overstating the issue. This show will kill or at the very least hurt many people like me — people with mental illnesses, the very people the show claims to represent.

There is also a deep problem with the nature of the representation of mental illnesses in this show. Hannah seems to commit suicide as an act of revenge. Revenge is an oversimplification of the complex factors that lead to most suicides, and it scares me that so many people who have watched this show think that it is accurate.

Additionally, the show fails to depict any healthy or successful help-seeking. None of the teens, Hannah included, find adults in their lives who are able to help them through their problems. This is a problem because it sends the message that getting help isn’t worth it. I can promise it actually is, and this message should not be sent.

One of the arguments I’ve heard in favor of “13 Reasons Why” is that it’s teaching people what it feels like to be bullied, sexually assaulted and driven to commit suicide.

I know it’s difficult to understand those topics, but there has to be a better way to learn about them. Do research.

Learn from personal testimonies. Watch “Audrie and Daisy,” a Netflix documentary about the same topics as “13 Reasons Why” that doesn’t sensationalize the themes. Create a space for people with mental illnesses to talk about their experiences and listen to them, instead of trying to represent us without understanding. Fund counseling services.

Basically, you shouldn’t need to watch “13 Reasons Why” to learn that people with mental illnesses and suicidal thoughts are humans who deserve to be listened to and represented accurately. You shouldn’t need to watch a show that’s going to kill people to learn to treat people with respect and love, no matter what.

If you have any questions or concerns, email editor@bsudailynews.com.

How do those course evaluations work?

Goal is for professors to improve teaching, delivery style

Kara Berg Daily News Reporter It’s that time of year again — time to fill out course evaluation surveys.

The link to do so is emailed to all students, and anyone who fills them out can access their final grades earlier.

But what happens with all of this feedback professors get?

The goal is for professors to use it to improve their teaching and delivery of class material, said Jim Jones, director of research and academic effectiveness.

The feedback can also be used to make personnel decisions, like tenure promotion or seeing if a professor isn’t doing as well as they should be.

“Only students can provide day-to-day information about how well a class is going,” Jones said.

But on average, only about 50 percent of students fill out the evaluation, Jones said.

Ken Bantz, an accounting instructor, has been disappointed with the amount of students who fill out the evaluations.

Since the university switched from paper to digital evaluations, he’s seen a decrease in participation.

Even so, of the responses he gets, most are relatively constructive.

“I’m looking for constructive input on how I can improve my teaching

Continued from page 1 “[The bonds] will advance our university’s priorities on providing students with educational opportunities in cutting-edge environments that simulate the worlds in which they will work after graduation,” said interim president Terry King in an email to faculty.

The new facility will allow the university to continue to clear out Cooper Science Complex for renovations.

Students petitioned to state legislators about replacing the building altogether in early April. They say Cooper isn’t a good work environment, and needs to be renovated to make the atmosphere safer and more productive.

The list of grievances spans from issues

techniques,” Bantz said. “I’ve taught for quite some time, and I’m always things looking for to tweak or improve.”

There are always the students who aren’t happy with their grades who leave a vindictive review, but Bantz has learned to ignore those.

“Constructive input gives me more fuel, so if I can make changes to help the students learn and progress, I can make adjustments for next class,” he said.

“It’s a challenge when you’ve taught a

course for a while — you don’t want to be complacent.”

When professors get all of the feedback from the evaluation after final grades are turned in, they’re supposed to — but not required to — look through all the data and see what they’re able to improve about the course and their teaching methods.

“It’s up to the instructor how much they can get from it,” Jones said.

“Generally it’s going to be an instructor

seeing the information fed back to them and trying to take that and design the best possible course.”

Professors can’t see any identifying details about the student who fills out the evaluation, so everything is completely anonymous. Only that professor and their department chair are able to see the feedback.

regarding safety and health to insufficient classroom space and resources.

It includes: • Leaking pipes leave puddles in the middle of labs: giant slip hazard in already unsafe place.

• Mold growing in various places throughout Cooper.

• Algae growing in certain water fountains.

• Cockroaches throughout the building.

• Insufficient space in research laboratories that render storage and work difficult and cumbersome, and Cooper is incapable of adding new lab space.

• Lab and research space extremely limited, which leads to situations in which 30 or more students must use a space optimized for less than 15 individuals.

• Showers are often located in corners behind “junk” and would be very difficult to get to in an emergency. In the event that a shower were used, there are no floor drains in Cooper, so all water has to be mopped up or will seep through the floor.

• The fire alarms are triggered when there is not actual threat present in the building.

• Water coming out of fountains is too often orange.

King told the University Senate in late March the building “needs to be replaced” because of how expensive it is to keep up. The project will begin this summer, according to previous Daily News reporting.

This new facility will be in addition to Ball State’s new College of Health, which will cost $62.5 million in bonds the Board of Trustees recently approved.

King said the university “fared well” during the 2017 legislative session.

The state also approved $2 million to fund Launch Indiana, a university partnership that helps to develop entrepreneurial innovations across the state.

Funding for the university grew 3.2 percent for 2017-18 and 1.7 percent for 2018-19, King said in the email.

Overall for state appropriations, Ball State will receive $130.3 million for the 2017-18 school year and $132.5 million for 2018-19.

State appropriations represent about a third of the university’s general fund budget. Using these funds will allow the university to remain competitive in the marketplace, King said.

Student arrested after stabbing sepfather Rollins preliminarily charged with attempted murder

Max Lewis Crime Reporter A Ball State student is behind bars after he allegedly stabbed his stepfather in the chest and arm.

Storm Rollins, 19, has been preliminarily charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery, according to court documents.

Yorktown Police responded to the 1600 block of S. Kingston Avenue on reports of the stabbing. When police arrived on the scene, they found Rollins’ stepfather sitting on the porch with “multiple” stab wounds.

An eyewitness told police that Rollins went into the kitchen to retrieve “a sharp object.” The witness also told police they heard Rollins say,

“I’m gonna kill him.”

Rollins was also seen beating his stepfather in the face with a baseball bat “several times,” according to the affidavit. The stepfather was transferred to IU STORM Health Ball Memorial ROLLINS Hospital and is being treated for “serious injuries.”

Rollins also told police his stepfather “battered” him.

Rollins is currently being held in the Delaware County Jail without bond.

A university spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that Rollins is a registered student.

Tally chef brings unique food to campus Jason Reynolds interested in food history, presentation

Michelle Kaufman Daily News Reporter Chef Jason Reynolds decided he wanted to be a chef when he was in seventh grade.

He took home economics and foods classes in middle and high school and was the only male in those classes.

“My friends made fun of me, but I said, ‘what’s better than being in a class with all these girls and getting to eat food?’”

Reynolds said. “You get made fun of, but then you just gotta make light of it and joke around about it. I look where I’m at today and it paid off.”

Today, Reynolds is the chef for the Student Center Tally Food Court and has been at Ball State for the past 18 years.

In addition to creating limited-time breakfast and sandwich specials, Reynolds has a Chef Station every weekday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., where he prepares a daily entrée. Monday and Thursdays feature a specialty lunch entrée, Tuesdays are pasta days, Wednesdays are international cuisine and Fridays are speciality pizza or macaroni and cheese. Reynolds does not repeat any single entrée in a semester.

“I don’t want it the same old, same old cause I like so many different things,” he said. “I don’t like one specific cuisine or one specific area, I like to dibble dabble in a little bit of everything.”

Because Reynolds makes his chef station entrées to order, he is able to meet and interact with several people. He loves being social and tries to get to know people’s names.

“Just the camaraderie with the customer and the employees out front,” he said.

“Making people happy every day with the food is awesome. Some people come up and will say ‘eh, I don’t know about that’ and ‘I’ll say I’ll tell you what, if you get it, you don’t like it, bring it back and I’ll get you something else.’ They’ll take it and I never see them come back.”

Reynolds looks at food trends and has recipes, but also brings knowledge from past experiences and chefs he used to work for, to his chef station using flavor profiles.

“Now, from me working in the business so long, flavor profiles and things, what goes together, it’s in my head. I just know … it just flows for me,” Reynolds said.

“When you eat my entrées, you have to eat everything together, not just one portion of the plate at a time to get the full flavor effect and profile of the whole dish.”

For the past few semesters, Reynolds has partnered with the Rinker Center to make a dish that corresponds with the Culture Exchange program presenter’s culture of origin. Reynolds corresponds with the presenter about what part of the country they are from, because cuisines change within different parts of the country.

“They give me some ideas and I try to

come up with as close to an authentic dish as I can from that area of that country,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds loves his job at Ball State because it allows him to be creative with food, have a family life and do other things, including teaching a meat and seafood fabrication class at Ivy Tech.

He also owns Heavenly Creations Catering with his wife. Heavenly Creations has been in business for 15 years and does not advertise; its business comes exclusively from word-of-mouth.

Reynolds’ Ivy Tech students learn how to break down and properly prepare and cook meats and fish as well as the foods’ history.

“I like teaching ‘cause I can give back my knowledge, my expertise and just my experiences. [My students] like hearing experiences and man, just cooking in general — I love it.”

Reynolds said he has a passion for food and likes all the aspects of it: the history, cooking and presentation.

“We use our senses as a consumer when it comes to food, so as a chef you want to utilize your ability to help the consumer use their senses. We eat with our eyes first.

If it looks good, then we are going to eat it,” Reynolds said.

One of Reynolds’ favorite things about cooking is the creation process and sharing that with others.

“I love creating things and making people happy with food,” he said. “There isn’t a moment in my life that I am not doing something with food. I love it so much.”

Gala to showcase themed academic journal This year's DLR features writing, art about monsters

DIGITAL LITERATURE REVIEW GALA

• When: 4:30-6:30 p.m. tonight • Where: L.A. Pittenger Student Center Rooms 301 and 302 • Website: bsuenglish.com/dlr • Twitter: @BSUDLR • Facebook: Digital Literature Review

Alexandra Smith Theater Reporter It’s not yet Halloween, but monsters will be the topic of discussion at the Digital Literature Review Gala tonight.

The Digital Literature Review is an immersive learning class that creates a journal of academic papers and artwork over the course of two semesters. Each year’s journal follows a specific theme, this year’s being “monsters.”

At the gala, the students will launch the fourth edition of the journal and share the stories behind the monsters included.

Joyce Huff, an associate professor of English, taught the class this year. She said all of the themes the journal has covered are interrelated.

“They’ve all covered social problems and how those are addressed in literature,” Huff said. “The students study the concept in the fall and build expertise so they can edit the journal in the spring.”

Past themes were ghosts, slavery, freak shows and human zoos.

Huff said monsters was a good theme because they embody cultural fears and anxieties.

“You can really understand fears by examining monsters in different times and places,” she said.

Noah Patterson, a junior English rhetoric and writing major, said he was interested in the theme after growing up reading Stephen King and watching horror movies.

“We have a really good mix of monsters,” Patterson said. “Readers will find things they’re familiar with and from other cultures.”

Topics include the “Mad Max” movies, Medusa, the book “A Monster Calls” and a Japanese monster called The Jikininki.

As part of the editorial team, Patterson read and reviewed the submissions that came in. Submissions are academic works like literary criticisms and analyses on

Shannon Walter //Photo Provided

novels, movies and folktales. There are also some art pieces in the book.

Patterson’s submission was about witches.

“There’s something about them I like

because they’ve been around for centuries, and how they’ve evolved and been this cultural symbol for so long,” he said.

After selecting the 12 papers they wanted for the journal, members of the

editorial team worked with the authors during the editing process.

“I learned about being meticulous and doing things the way they should be done,” Patterson said. “I also learned how much I can learn from other people’s writing, how I can better the way I write based on others.”

The other teams students work on are the design and publicity teams. Huff said the project is very student-driven. The first year, the students wrote a handbook about how to do the project.

“We try to go by that and update it as necessary,” Huff said. “For example, we now have a most consistent rubric for judging submissions. We got more outside [Ball State] submissions than ever before, so we had to streamline the process in order to give each submission the attention it deserves while going through a lot more.”

The journal will need the process if it keeps growing, she said. Two of the works in the book this year are international submissions.

Next year’s theme is “Imagining the Post-Apocalypse.” Papers can be submitted online through Jan. 8, 2018.

Submissions don’t have to come from just literature majors, Huff said. Anyone can submit a paper or blog post as long as they were an undergraduate in the 2016-2017 academic year.

The Digital Literature Review Gala will be at 4:30 p.m. today in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Rooms 301 and 302.

Mary Beth Reinhardt, another co-owner of the studio, was able to get in contact with Brittany Swackhamer, who owns pygmy goats that are shown in 4-H shows.

She will be bringing six baby goats and five 1-year old goats to interact with participants during the yoga sessions.

The night will consist of two different sessions with 25 people in each.

Although the event sold out within 24 hours, the studio will be offering a wait list on Thursday, in case anyone who made a reservation is unable to make it to the session.

Additionally, Studio Exhale will be allowing visitors to come in between the two sessions to interact with the goats.

For $10, those who could not participate in the yoga sessions can come between 7 and 7:30 p.m. to see the goats.

“I am looking forward to interacting with the goats,” said Michelle Kemp, who will be attending Thursday’s event.

“Doing yoga [while being with the goats] makes it even better.”

Jamie Prang, another Studio Exhale regular who will be attending the event, is excited to see the furry creatures.

“I just want to snuggle a goat,” she said.

For now, Studio Exhale will be hosting the event as a test run. However, if the event runs smoothly, studio owners would like to schedule more yoga sessions with goats in the future.

“I’m super excited about being around the goats,” Hutchison said. “I’m equally excited to be able to help out the shelter

Former center looks toward WNBA

Renee Bennett attends New York Liberty's Training camp

Sam Barloga Daily News Reporter Former Ball State women’s basketball center Renee Bennett is hoping to make the case that she’s good enough to play with the best in the WNBA. Over the weekend, Bennett was invited to take part in the New York Liberty’s annual training camp with players from programs such as Connecticut, Notre Dame and Florida State.

“She’s been going through every emotion, from nervous to excited to anxious to everywhere in between and now that she’s up there going through it, it’s eye opening,” Ball State head coach Brady Sallee said. “[The WNBA is] a whole different animal and a different level that she’s [been] competing at.”

The camp began on Sunday and includes a 19-woman roster, including six rookies, three of whom were drafted by the Liberty in this season’s WNBA draft.

Sallee has talked to Bennett several times since she earned the camp spot, and he has encouraged her to be herself

“It really felt good to get that tying run in there and have a chance with one out to score the possible winning out and go back out and close it out,” Riedel said. “It didn’t happen that way and there’s nothing we can do about it.”

IU, however, won on an RBI single by Gorski in the bottom of the 10th.

It was a game of almosts for the Cardinals (21-20, 8-7 MAC), who haven’t beaten the Hoosiers (22-16-2, 8-6-1 Big Ten) since April 17, 2013.

“It comes down to a game of inches,” head coach Rich Maloney said. “You can’t really blame anybody, it was just a great game.”

Freshman catcher Griffin Hulecki, for example, almost caught IU junior outfielder Laren Eustace stealing second in the 10th. Ball State fans erupted when Eustace, who then scored the winning run, was called safe.

and not to change her game.

“She’s with the who’s-who now,” Sallee said. “I think she understands that there’s a reason that they asked her because

of the skill set she has. What I tried to tell her was you don’t have to be any different, you just gotta go be you. If that is what they’re looking for, then she’ll get

“[Hulecki] made a great throw, and he just beat it by a hair. That’s what I’m saying, it’s a game of inches. If he makes that play, we’re still playing.”

In the bottom of the seventh, Ball State sophomore right-handed pitcher T.J. Baker almost got the ground ball he wanted.

Indiana senior left fielder Alex Krupa hit Baker’s one-out pitch on the ground with runners on first and second, but instead of a double play it snuck through the right side of the infield.

Riedel, again, was almost the hero. He charged hard, scooped the ball in his glove and fired it home in one swift movement.

The throw skipped once and beat IU sophomore catcher Ryan Fineman to the plate. Two outs, runners on first and third.

In the next at-bat, Baker almost got the last out he wanted.

Hoosier senior second baseman Tony Butler pulled a grounder through the hole in the left side of the infield to knock in freshman shortstop Jeremy Houston for the go-ahead run.

The first play of the game hinted at what

was in store for the Cardinals. Senior third baseman Alex Maloney almost led off with a base-hit to left field, but Krupa made a diving catch.

In the top of the third, Maloney almost hit a home run. He lifted IU right-handed starter Cal Krueger’s pitch to left-center field, where it one-hopped the wall in a plume of light brown, almost gray dirt for an RBI double.

Victory Field’s left-center field wall is 418 feet from home plate, deeper than any part of Ball Diamond.

“In Muncie and probably IU — pretty much anywhere else in the country — it’s probably a home run,” Alex Maloney said.

Lloyd (3-1) was credited with the win, while Baker (1-1) was credited with the loss for the Cardinals after allowing just one fateful run in the final 3.1 innings.

Ball State returns to Mid-American Conference play this weekend with a threegame series at Northern Illinois beginning at 4:05 p.m. Friday.

an opportunity, if it’s not she’ll go over to Europe and play and maybe have a chance to come back next year.”

Bennett’s progression to the training squad also speaks volumes about the future of the program, Sallee said, and helps show the strides the team is taking in the future.

“Clearly, there’s some benefit to our program,” Sallee said. “It speaks volumes about the level of player that we can have in our program, [in] development and what we can do. Make no bones about it, this is about Renee and her abilities got her there and her abilities will hopefully have her playing professionally for a while.”

The New York Liberty opens up its preseason May 2, and the team must have its roster shrunk to 12 or less by the team’s first regular season game on May 13 against the San Antonio Stars.

“She’s got so many doors open right now it’s kind of exciting because she’s just on the front door step of her pro career, but this is a heck of a way to start it,” Sallee said.
