Protestors march down First Street toward Mayor John Hamilton’s house Jan. 18, 2021, in response to the evictions of people experiencing homelessness from Seminary Park on Jan. 14, 2021. This summer, property behind the At Home store in Bloomington, which had members of the unhoused community living there, was cleared out by Monroe County on June 8. By Meghana Rachamadugu megracha@iu.edu
On June 8, Monroe County commissioners set out to evacuate and clear the property behind the At Home store in Bloomington using county funds. This was the result of complaints from store employees and other residents who saw members of the unhoused community living there. The Bloomington police and city employees cleared a similar camp in Seminary Park a year ago. The cleanup started on June 3, one day after all residents had to evacuate the county-owned land, the article said. County commissioners worked with volunteers from Beacon and other unhoused community advocacy
groups to collect and set aside personal belongings for the former residents. Harry Collins, a Bloomington Homeless Coalition advocate, told the HeraldTimes that people in the encampment had been living there for three or more years, undetected in the high brush and trees. He said after a resident set up camp closer to the store, people started to complain about the camp. Collins said he understood the mayor’s obligations to city residents and business owners but was uncertain about the camp residents’ success in finding other places to live. There were also several traces of hypodermic needles and hazardous waste. According to the article, com-
missioners spent $18,000 on an agreement with Bio-One and no more than $157,000 on one with Crider&Crider to clean toxic and land waste, respectively. Greg Crohn, the County Facilities and Fleet Manager at the time, said in the first week, Bio-One and the Monroe County highway department worked in tandem. Bio-One went through the camps and took items considered as personal effects to separate storage containers. Then, the highway department came in with loading equipment and placed any materials Bio-One considered “caustic chemicals,” or causing bodily harm, into 40yard dumpsters. Crohn said the clean-up called for nine 40-yard dump-
sters because of the number of needles and other hazardous materials, including liquids used to produce methamphetamine. “It was originally planned to only take five days for BioOne to be able to clean up the site, but we found a much larger volume than what was previously anticipated so that it ended up taking another week to get clear,” Crohn said. Penny Githens, a Monroe County Commissioner, said the contract with Bio-One ended up lasting twenty days. She said in Indiana, it’s still illegal to possess a syringe, and when people moved, they ended up dropping and leaving them. “It became a serious SEE ENCAMPMENT, PAGE 4

Around this time last year, Indiana football fans anxiously awaited the start of one of the program’s most hyped-up seasons in the modern era. Coming in with an AP preseason ranking of No. 17 and key starters returning, many fans guessed that a Rose Bowl appearance was not out of the question. Fast forward a year later, and fans’ hopes have diminished to winning at least one conference game. Following a dismal 2021 season in which the Hoosiers faced injuries, untime-
ly ejections, poor strategizing and a lack of execution, the highest that Indiana could go was a 2-10 record and 0-9 performance in conference play. Now, changes are bound to ensue after plenty of roster shake-ups for the oncoming season. Many players graduated, transferred or left for the NFL draft, such as fifth-round pick linebacker Micah McFadden. While losses like that of the former All-American sting, it may be made up for by Indiana’s 25th nationally ranked recruiting class and solid additions from the transfer market. The Hoosiers saw play-
ers come and go through the transfer portal, the most notable departure being former star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. However, the team’s fresh faces are expected to make an immediate impact. Former University of Missouri quarterback Connor Bazelak, the 2020 SEC Co-Freshman of the Year, is the favorite to take over the starting role from what was a revolving door in 2021. Still, with all changes considered, Indiana’s schedule leaves little room for error if expectations for a bowl game remain intact. Indiana’s season starts with several games favoring
the Hoosiers. The season opener against Big Ten opponent Illinois should see Indiana start 1-0 if all things go as expected. At the very least, it should not be a repeat of their crushing 34-6 loss at Iowa to open the 2021 season. The Hoosiers’ next two games against the University of Idaho and Western Kentucky University shouldn’t be too challenging. If they are, you might want to look away for the rest of the season, considering those two opponents gave Indiana its only victories in 2021. Indiana closes out nonconference play at the University of Cincinnati before facing its main dilemma: Big Ten divisions are unbalanced. As the current format stands, each Big Ten team faces all six of its division opponents and three opponents from the other division. The problem is that the Big Ten East is much, much better. Unfortunately, Indiana happens to be in the Big Ten East. Aside from Indiana, the East contains Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Maryland and Rutgers. The West is made up of Purdue, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska and Northwestern. Looking at the Hoosiers’ schedule, they will face three top-10 teams from the end of last season: Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State. In addition to the season opener against Illinois, Indiana will face SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 4
The City of Bloomington is buying a portion of the Showers Building to replace Bloomington police and fire department headquarters, according to a city news release. The Showers Building, a historic building built in 1910, has three sections and is next to the City Hall. According to the article, the city and county own two parts for their offices and Cook Financial Corporation Properties owns the last section — 64,000 square feet at 320 W. Eighth St. With the city council’s approval, the Bloomington Redevelopment Commission made an offer of $9.25 million to purchase the CFC section for the two departments. The city said they will decide the plans for the current facilities at a later time. The city said that flooding last summer damaged both departments’ current headquarters and that the fire department had to relocate. The police department underwent a long-term cleaning, but is still open. “City government always strives to meet the needs of residents through accessible and responsive city services,” Mayor John Hamilton said in
the news release. “Modernizing public safety facilities under one roof and centralizing service locations can help us do that.” Hamilton also said that completing the purchase would allow the city to preserve a building of historical value in Bloomington. The news release said that the city offer had been accepted, but the sale was contingent on the funding. Both sources said the city council allotted funds from the Economic Development Local Income Tax (ED-LIT) meant for public safety. “Our department administration has been spread out all over the city for years and for the first time, we would be able to be in the same location working closer with other city departments," Bloomington Fire Department Chief Jason Moore said in the news release. Bloomington Police Department Chief Mike Diekhoff said in the news release that the relocation was “a logical extension” of the city trying to prioritize Bloomington residents in their work. "A new police headquarters will strengthen public safety in our community and help us retain and recruit new officers," he said in the news release.
City council tables developer’s plans to buy public land By Marissa Meador

Peerless Development, a Chicago-based real estate developer working on, returned to the Bloomington City Council again Wednesday to request the vacating of an alley owned by the city to build apartments on the Johnson Creamery smokestack site. At the initial meeting, the council asked Peerless to build a public art display in exchange for the land, but no deal had been reached. Some councilmembers said they didn’t feel like the proposal would benefit the public enough to warrant a sale of city property. “It just doesn’t sit well with me when I’m going to approve a project where the rent of a two-bedroom apartment is gonna be higher than a mortgage on a three bedroom house out on the side of town where I live,” councilmember Jim Sims said.
Councilmember Sue Sgambelluri said she supported more housing, but not in this form. “I don’t think it can be argued that additional luxury houses provide us with public benefit.” Sgambelluri said. The council voted to table the issue. The council also removed what it deemed as an unnecessary part of a 2019 agreement between the City of Bloomington and the Bloomington Housing Authority to allow the BHA to comply with Section 8 housing and complete Rental Assistance Demonstration conversions. Section 10, which required the BHA to refund part of the city’s infrastructure investments if they ever made a profit, was deemed unnecessary because matters of funding were determined by individual agreements with Housing and Urban Development or the City of Bloomington. The vote was unanimous.
Village Deli to temporary close in 2023 for construction By Marissa Meador
marnmead@iu.edu | @marissa_meador
The Village Deli will be temporarily closed in 2023 for construction of a fourstory apartment complex beginning next summer. Approved by the Bloomington Plan Commission July 11, Strauser Construction’s proposal includes mostly studio and onebedroom apartments, with a total of 29 bedrooms split between 25 apartments. The space will include a parking garage on the ground floor. In order to achieve the four-story height not usually allowed for the downtown area, the complex had to meet one of the city’s incentives. One of these incentives is sustainability, which Strauser Construction plans on satisfying with light exterior colors, a roof that reflects light, covered parking and solar photovoltaic panels.
Owner Bob Costello said in an email that he plans to relocate The Village Deli during construction and will announce the new location shortly before construction begins in the summer of 2023. The complex includes 2700 square feet of restaurant space, so the Village Deli will return to the same spot when construction is complete. Some residents compared the temporary closing of the Deli with old favorites like Ladyman’s Cafe. Ladyman’s, which served fried chicken and fresh-baked pies from its spot on Kirkwood Avenue since 1957, closed when Heartland Development Group bought the restaurant in 2006. Although Village Deli’s temporary relocation is uncertain, internet commentators expressed relief that the restaurant is here to stay.

Bill passed to ban abortion with exceptions
The Indiana Statehouse is located in downtown Indianapolis. The Senate Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedure passed an amended version of the abortion ban, Senate Bill 1, on July 26. By Meghana Rachamadugu megracha@iu.edu
The Senate Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedure passed an amended version of the abortion ban Senate Bill 1 on July 26 with a vote of 7-5. The bill will be heard by the entire Senate on Thursday. SB 1 was drafted by Senator Susan Glick, R-LaGrange. It bans abortions with exceptions for cases necessary to protect the pregnant person’s life and victims of rape or incest. The bill also allows abortion in the case of fatal fetal anomalies. Following the agenda, the chairman of the session, Senator Rodric Bray, R-Martinsville, opened the floor to testimonies before allowing amendments and respective questions. After amendments were voted on, senators had time to make closing statements and vote
on the legislation. During the session, Chairman Bray had over ten amendments introduced. The committee discussed four of those in greater detail — passing two and failing two. A motion made by Senator Greg Taylor, D-Indianapolis, to amend certain statutes in the next session also failed. One amendment passed says that illegal abortion is a level five felony, meaning a one to six-year imprisonment, depending on the crime. A physician must determine if an abortion is necessary in order to prevent “a substantial permanent impairment of the life of the pregnant woman.” If the pregnant person is younger than sixteen and “the postfertilization age of the fetus is less than twelve weeks,” the person must provide the physician with a signed affidavit attesting to rape or incest. If older than
sixteen, the abortion must occur before eight weeks. This affidavit becomes part of the person’s permanent health record. In the public comments, both women and men shared medical and professional opinions, as well as personal stories about abortion and its impact on their lives and wellbeing. Dr. Elizabeth Eglen, a medical director at the Center of Hope in Indianapolis, spoke about her research on domestic violence. She said many women don’t recognize the signs of rape until too late and shared a story of a previous abusive relationship in which she didn’t want to have a child. “Rape is traumatic, and incest is deplorable,” Eglen said. In a later relationship, she said she suffered a miscarriage but recalled being grateful for the care she received with Planned Parent-
hood following the events. She asked the Senate to reconsider the amendment that would require an affidavit and to be aware that women and girls alike face unnecessary shame in abortions, even when it protects against potential medical problems. LaKimba Desadier, a representative from Planned Parenthood, said the government shouldn’t interfere with reproductive rights and said she was against the bill. She said passing the bill would not only be “undemocratic” but would also force women to carry unwanted pregnancies and cause a 21% increase in pregnancyrelated deaths. Courtney Milbank, an attorney who represents Indiana Right to Life, also said she opposed the bill. However, she said her objections came from the bill having “numerous and pervasive” wording issues that don’t
fully address the health condition of the woman when deciding on abortion and therefore allowed people other than qualified medical professionals to decide on an abortion. “All unborn life is valuable,” Milbank said. Before the testimony closed, John Pernell, an Indiana resident, also shared his story of his ex-wife choosing to abort, and how both of them later regretted that decision. He said it exacerbated drug problems he was struggling with, and he felt he had been misinformed of the guilt and shame that comes with abortion. After several testimonies, the amendments were introduced and voted on. Chairman Bray then motioned for discussion on the bill. “This is a sad day for the state of Indiana,” Senator Timothy Lanane, D-Ander-

son, said after amendments were passed. “It’s wrong to take away this right of the citizens of Indiana.” Senator Glick also made comments, saying that while no one agreed on all the terms of the bill, this was the first step. She said that if it is the will of the government body to reject the bill, then it will be. However, if it moves forward, she said there are more opportunities to improve it in its current condition. Senator Shelli Yoder, DBloomington, said she was sorry that the senate did not take the time to listen to more testimonies during the session. She shared her own story of an unplanned pregnancy and stressed the importance of providing women with time to make the right decisions for themselves and their bodies. “This bill is not about life, it’s about control,” Yoder said.
Indiana state lawmakers debate reproductive rights By Christina Avery
averycm@iu.edu | @christym_avery
Indiana state legislators on Monday convened for a special legislative session to consider a bill than would ban abortion in Indiana. During the session, lawmakers debated the future of reproductive rights and heard testimonies from the public. Monday marked the first day of the special session, which will last until August 14. Technically, the special session started on July 6, but the legislative process was delayed after the overturn of Roe v. Wade to prepare for an increased agenda. During the session, lawmakers will debate three new bills dealing with reproductive rights, support for pregnant people and their families, and inflation. During Monday’s meeting, the floor was opened
for comments during a public hearing from 1 p.m. to around 5:30 p.m. During the hearing, members of the public, including doctors, pastors and advocates both for and against abortion, took the stand to share their opinions and personal experiences concerning abortion. Members of the Senate Rules Committee were allowed to ask questions after each testimony. Topics raised for discussion included concerns about vagueness in the bill’s language and how individual doctors could determine when and whether an abortion is necessary. Senate Bill 1 would prohibit abortions in Indiana unless the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest, or if an abortion was necessary to save a pregnant person’s life. The bill, proposed by Indiana Senate Republicans,
would also allow for abortion in the case of fatal fetal anomalies. Under the bill, to obtain an abortion, the pregnant person would have to provide a physician with an affadavit attesting to the rape or incest. Abortion clinics would also be banned from performing surgical abortions, instead requiring abortion by medication. In this instance, a physician would have to administer abortion-inducing drugs in person, and the person seeking an abortion would have to consume the drug in the presence of the physician. Lawmakers have said the bill does not affect access to Plan B, any other form of birth control or in vitro fertilization. It also does not restrict access to treatment of a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, and it does not criminalize people seeking
an abortion. Currently, abortion is legal in Indiana up to 22 weeks after the last menstrual period. Following the overturn of Roe v. Wade, Indiana has garnered recent attention after a 10 year old girl traveled to Indiana from Ohio to receive an abortion after being raped. Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to the Indiana State Library Monday morning to participate in a roundtable discussion with Indiana lawmakers. Harris said the attempt to restrict abortion access has created a healthcare crisis in America. Harris is conducting a series of meetings in various states to discuss reproductive rights following the overturn of Roe v. Wade. She has visited North Carolina, West Virginia and Pennsylvania this month. The other two bills slated
for debate during the special session would increase support for families and attempt to ease the effects of inflation on Hoosiers. Senate Bill 2 would create the Hoosier Families First Fund, providing $45 million to fund programs supporting pregnant people and families. It would also increase access to contraception and support for foster care. Senate Bill 3 would provide relief measures to Hoosiers to help with inflation costs. The bill would provide a six-month reprieve from sales tax on all utility bills and would freeze gas tax rates until June 2023. According to a tentative schedule released to the press, there will be additional public comment on Senate Bill 1 Tuesday morning, after which lawmakers will take a vote. The Senate Committee on Appropriations will also

James Wimbush, dean of the University Graduate School at IU, is stepping down from the position to focus on his role as vice president of Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, according to an IU press release. IU President Pamela Whitten announced the University Graduate school will be led by two separate deans representing IU Bloomington and IU-Purdue Univer-
sity Indianapolis, starting Aug. 15. David Daleke, vice provost for Graduate Education and Health Sciences and associate dean of the University Graduate School, will serve as interim dean for IU Bloomington. Janice Blum, vice chancellor for Research and Graduate Education and associate dean of the University Graduate School at IUPUI, will be the interim dean of the IUPUI Graduate School. The announcement comes just after Wimbush’s
meeting with the Indiana Graduate Worker Coalition on July 20, where IU’s graduate task force discussed their recommendations. The recommendations will be released by the end of the month. Whitten said in the release that the change would increase service and support of graduate students on all campuses. Provost Rahul Shrivastav will share information about a permanent dean for the school soon.
meet Tuesday to hear Senate Bills 2 and 3. The Senate will adopt committee reports on Wednesday and meet Thursday for a second reading of the bills, followed by a third reading on Friday. A final vote on the bills is expected to be taken then. In Indiana’s legislative process, bills are read three times — once to introduce the bill and give information, a second time to offer amendments and a third time to undergo final passage or rejection. The Indiana House of Representatives will consider legislation on August 1 passed by the Senate. Lawmakers have until August 14, when the special session ends, to finish their work. There is no limit to the number of special sessions that can be held. If the abortion bill is passed, it will go into effect Sept. 1.

OLIVIA’S OUTLOOK
Weekly episodes are better than binge watching Olivia Franklin (she/her) is a senior studying journalism with a minor in political science.
Most people subscribe to some type of streaming service, and have likely binge-watched a TV show in their life. Binge-watching is when you watch several episodes of a show very quickly. Recently, more shows have been releasing weekly episodes instead of making an entire season available at once. This builds anticipation and keeps viewers coming back for more. Many newer shows on Disney+ are switching to this periodic model, including “High School Musical: the Musical: the Series,” as well as several new Marvel shows. Besides wanting to gain more viewers, there are other reasons for not uploading all of the episodes all at once. The last couple episodes of the latest season of “Stranger Things” were not released on Netflix with the rest of the season. According to the show’s producer Shawn Levy, the main reason was because they needed more time to complete the episodes but didn’t want fans to wait for

the rest of the season. By doing this, these series are getting more publicity, because viewers are posting and talking about them after every new episode. This can keep audiences interested for longer
and creates a bigger buzz around the shows. I love the weekly episode model, because it gives me something to look forward to every week. Even if I’ve had a really hard day at work I
know that I can go home and watch a new episode of my show. It is easier to start watching something when there is not a lot of content out yet and people aren’t spoiling plot points. I get nervous thinking
about starting a show like “Grey’s Anatomy” with eighteen seasons. Starting a show that has a couple episodes out, compared to a whole season, is a lot less intimidating. It could also be the part
of me that is still used to watching a new episode each week, like how it was growing up. Growing up, when there were little to no streaming services, you had to wait until the next week to watch a new episode. Once streaming services became more popular and started dropping whole seasons of shows at a time, binge-watching became extremely popular. Obviously, not everyone has every streaming service out there. Sometimes to watch a show, you have to binge it using the free trial. But for those of you who have one or more streaming services, maybe consider limiting yourself to one weekly episode, even for the complete series. The pacing will keep you from feeling like you need to finish the entire season in one night. Of course, everyone is different, and if you prefer watching several episodes at a time, go for it! Still, I am glad some streaming services are returning to the weekly episodes model, and I think it’s good that we are starting to get away from the binging era of television. orfrankl@iu.edu
CARTER’S COLUMN
We need to increase funding for science research and education Carter DeJong (he/him) is a secular humanist studying journalism at IU.
Earlier this month, NASA released the first pictures taken from the James Webb Space Telescope. The humbling photos show distant galaxies that are millions of light years away while reminding us of how truly small our planet is in the universe. In 2020, the U.S. military spending was $766.58 billion. The Webb Telescope took $10 billion and more than 30 years to complete. Can you imagine what a few billion more per year, likely taken from the military budget, would do for the next space telescope? “At the rate we’re going, the United States will soon cease to be a prime destination of aspiring young scientists from developing nations,” astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson said in his book “Accessory to War.” More money also equals
more high-end equipment that will attract the best researchers. If the scientific opportunities in the U.S. are not offered anywhere else, then it will draw the best scientists the world has to offer. Investing in science education is just as important as research. The U.S. cannot let other countries surpass the level of academic excellence in its universities because it doesn’t spend enough money. It is worth noting that students in the U.S. pay much more for university than those in other countries with space programs. The U.S. maintains a small lead in education spending among the major spacefaring nations. Education makes up 4.9% of the U.S. GDP as of 2018, while Russia spends 4.7% and India spends 4.5%, according to the World Bank. An increase in education funding, especially at the university level, will in turn
increase the amount of scientists the U.S. is capable of producing and will help the U.S. to stay competitive with other countries. We are not in the Cold War anymore. It is not just the Soviets and the Americans fighting for space superiority. Russia and China have both achieved manned space flight. Italy, India, Japan and nine other countries are also capable of completing space missions, according to the world population review. The United States is no longer the only option for those interested in space education and research. This is consistent with the decrease in funding for American space research. National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s share of the federal budget peaked in between 1960 and 1975. During that time, it took up an average of 2.1% of the total federal budget. Since the early 1990s, NASA’s share of the budget

has been steadily decreasing, going from 1.05% in 1991 to 0.48% in 2020 — a drop of more than 50%. Can you imagine the kind of scientific breakthroughs American scientists would achieve if they were funded at the rate they were in the past? Science also holds an overwhelming majority of
support in the U.S.. Seventy- three percent of US adults believe “science has a mostly positive impact on society,” according to Pew Research. Eighty-two percent expect to see future scientific discoveries to improve society. Those discoveries will only happen with increased funding and an increasingly science literate
society, The U.S. is in desperate need of technological and scientific advancements. If America wants to stay economically relevant in the post-industrial world, a drastic increase in science education and research funding is necessary. cadejong@iu.edu

White liberals need to take a step back By Maria McComish mwoodmcc@iu.edu
On July 11, First lady Jill Biden delivered a speech in Texas, at San Antonio’s Annual Unidos US Conference. In attendance was the National Council of La Raza, known to be the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization. She complimented the President of the organization, Raul Yzaguirre, in her speech, according to USA Today. “Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength,” Biden said. In her efforts to pay homage to their beautiful culture, she reduced an entire community to a stereotype. The National Association of Hispanic Journalists responded in a statement. “Using breakfast tacos to try to demonstrate the uniqueness of Latinos in San Antonio demonstrates a lack

of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of Latinos in the region,” the organization wrote. Many white liberals will say, with full confidence, they are not racist. Whether it is true or not, it is important to remember that being a liberal does not make you immune to being racist.
The behavior of white liberals can extend into more dangerous territory, such as valuing property and possessions over the needs of people with lesser privilege. This can lead to opposition of integration between low income and high income neighborhoods or engaging in the
gentrification of low income communities. In Howard County, Maryland, during the summer of 2020, white parents from a progressive neighborhood banded together to try to stop an integration plan for the school systems. The plan would involve transporting students from
predominantly Black and Brown neighborhoods with low socioeconomic status to more affluent, whiter schools. Matthew Delmont, author of “Why Busing Failed: Race, Media, and the National Resistance to School Desegregation,” spoke on the reason why incidents
like this happen, and what white people must be willing to do for change. White parents will protect what they believe to be a good school district and proper resources for their own children before considering how something like integration could positively affect communities, Delmont said. They must be willing to make changes close to them, such as affordable housing in their neighborhood. Even when you disregard extreme examples, ignorant behavior from white liberals can be seen on a daily basis, ranging from writing an article about a fling with a Proud Boy to buying property in gentrified neighborhoods. In both cases, people fail to acknowledge their privilege while utilizing it to put down alreadymarginalized groups. The most important thing a white person can do for a social movement is be willing to use their privilege to give up all resources necessary. Educating yourself and being anti-racist is important, but it only carries meaning when you are open to complete disruption in the name of change.

She said once the commissioners were made aware of the campers, they worked with people from Beacon and Wheeler Mission to clean the property and tell residents they had 72 hours to vacate and two weeks to retrieve any personal belongings found in the process. According to the Indiana Housing and Community
Development Authority, the point in time count for Indiana in 2021 was 3,029. This statistical figure represents the number of people facing homelessness on January 27, 2021. Sixhundred and sixty-two people recorded in this census were unsheltered, and the remaining were in an emergency, transitional or veteran-specific housing. “It’s hard because we do have a lot of homeless in our community, and they need a place to go,” Githens said. “But the property behind At Home has no water, no facility for
sewage, no trash pickup — it wasn’t a good situation.” She said she didn’t disagree with Harry Collins in terms of the displacement of the camp residents. The county is actively trying to reduce those issues with other initiatives such as the Heading Home initiative. Githens said several local organizations such as Wheeler Mission and Beacon offer temporary and permanent housing options like Crawford Homes and the Kinser Flats complex for those who are without homes. After COVID-19, Githens
said the county commissioners were prioritizing housing for the unhoused and allocated $200,000 to the Township trustees, who play a significant role in housing-related financial difficulties. She said after the Heading Home program started, it became more important to make homelessness rare, brief and nonrepeating. “I’m glad I live in a community that provides for others,” Githens said. “Hopefully we can push more assistance into the townships and fewer people will be unhoused.”

If geographical concerns were a reason to keep divisions together, it isn’t extreme enough to skew the competitive balance this much. If you disagree,
wait until USC and UCLA join in a few years. Whatever measures it takes to get it done should be taken, not just for the good of Indiana, but for all of the Big Ten. It isn’t impossible, just improbable, for Indiana to be competitive at a higher level. Say what you will about the Hoosiers’ talent or chances to hang with some of the biggest names in college football, but they should at least be given a fairer chance.

BASEBALL
Repping the Hoosiers, no matter the team:
IU alumnus Kyle Schwarber makes IU fans proud in the MLB. By Amanda Foster
amakfost@iu.edu | @amandafoster_15
“Going to Indiana was the best thing that ever happened to me.” Millions of baseball fans heard those words on ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” from one of IU’s most famous alumni. That same alumnus is featured on the wall of the third-base dugout at Bart Kaufman Field, home of the Indiana baseball team. His name is synonymous with strength, power, versatility and — perhaps his most entertaining quality — home runs. Every team he’s played for has found great success from his performances at the plate: the Chicago Cubs, the Washington Nationals, the Boston Red Sox, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Indiana Hoosiers. Any self-respecting baseball fan knows it could only be Kyle Schwarber. Now in his eighth season in the big leagues, Schwarber was drafted fourth overall in the first round of the 2014 MLB draft to the Chicago Cubs. He made his major league debut just over a year later on June 16, 2015. Since then, Schwarber has been a member of four major league clubs. Three of those teams probably regret letting him move on, and one — the Phillies — are probably very glad they picked him up. In the past two seasons, Schwarber, known in college for his hitting, has only solidified his reputation for the long ball as a pro. He hit more than 30 home runs in consecutive seasons and has put up some of his best statistics in the past three seasons. In his eight years in Major League Baseball, Schwarber has hit a total of 182 home runs. In his rookie season with the Cubs, he hit 16 home runs, five of which

came in the postseason. This season, Schwarber has gone yard 29 times in 90 games. He’s projected to hit around 52 home runs in the 162game season. That would be 14 more than his current season-high of 38 in 2019. This kind of performance from him is nothing new. As a Hoosier, Schwarber primarily played as a catcher and began his legacy as one of the top power hitters in college. In his three years at Indiana, he received countless accolades, ranging from Big Ten Player of the Week to Perfect Game’s best catcher in the country in 2013. Schwarber sits top ten in Indiana baseball history in just about every batting statistic there is. In 180 games
played, he batted .341 and hit 40 home runs, the sixth most in program history. His power-hitting was quickly picked up by MLB scouts in 2013 and 2014, during a time when most players’ home runs per game was at one of the lowest rates Division 1 baseball had seen since the 1970s. Schwarber was a shoo-in for the draft, touted as one of the best collegiate power hitters in the country. While Schwarber debuted in the big leagues as a catcher, he didn’t remain in the position for long. He split his time in 2015 between catcher and outfielder and has since primarily played left field. Schwarber also saw time as a designated hitter and first baseman
for the Cubs and Red Sox, respectively. Schwarber was signed by the Nationals in 2021 to a one-year contract after an uncharacteristically dismal performance for the Cubs in the shortened 2020 season, batting .188 and only hitting 11 home runs. With the Nationals, Schwarber did what he has become known for all around the league: he went on a home run tear in June. Schwarber rose to a new level — literally and figuratively. During an 18-game span in June, he blasted 16 home runs. In 72 total games with the Nationals, he hit 25 home runs. At the end of July, Schwarber was traded to Boston, where he would remain for the rest of the
2021 season. Schwarber was a key contributor for the Red Sox during his stint in Boston. He hit seven total home runs, colloquially known at that point as “Schwarbombs.” June again proved to be Schwarber’s month in 2022, as he hit 12 home runs — the most of any MLB player that month — and earned NL Player of the Month honors for his performances at the plate. With his propensity for slugging, it’s no surprise that Schwarber was able to add two more honors to his evergrowing list — becoming a member of both the 2022 Home Run Derby and the 2022 All Star Game. This was the second appearance in

Schwarber’s career in both event, as he was runnerup in the 2018 Home Run Derby to Bryce Harper and played in the 2021 All Star Game. Schwarber, the No. 1 seed in the 2022 derby, fell short of expectations and lost to home run legend Albert Pujols in the first round. He was unable to make a strong impression in the All Star Game, going 0-2 on Wednesday night. Regardless, the facts, figures and performances that back up Kyle Schwarber and his successful baseball career add up to make a long list — a very long, very impressive list. But imagine what would have happened if he never went to Indiana.

COLUMN: ‘Nope’ is an ambitious examination of our obsession with spectacle
Jordan Peele and Daniel Kaluuya attend the world premiere of Universal Pictures’ “Nope” on July 18, 2022, at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California. By Chloe Fulk
cdfulk@iu.edu
Jordan Peele’s “Nope” was one of my most anticipated films of the year. Peele’s previous films, “Get Out” and “Us,” are two of my favorite horror films of all time. They’re expertly crafted works that perfectly balance genuine genre thrills with relevant social commentary. With each new entry in the JPCU (Jordan Peele Cinematic Universe), it seems as though Peele expands
his filmmaking repertoire. It happened when he moved from the relatively contained, psychological horror of “Get Out” to “Us,” a film with complex world-building and abstract themes. In “Nope” he continues to explore philosophical themes while also pushing the boundaries of genre and scale. Without a doubt, “Nope” is Peele’s most ambitious film yet. The film follows Emerald and OJ Haywood (Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya), a pair of siblings who run a
California horse ranch together after the mysterious death of their father. When they witness a strange occurrence on the ranch, they employ the help of Angel (Brandon Perea), a conspiracy theorist tech employee, and Antlers (Michael Wincott), a gruff cinematographer, in order to capture the phenomenon on camera. It’s no surprise that Peele is being called this generation’s Alfred Hitchcock, considering the way he cultivates tension in “Nope.” His directing is razor-sharp and

incredibly focused; every set piece is dripping in dread. This is also due to Hoyte Van Hoytema’s gorgeous cinematography and the intricate soundscape that the sound design team crafted. Overall, “Nope” does for the sky what “Jaws” did for the ocean. As was expected in a Jordan Peele film, the performances are incredible. Palmer is a stand-out, and her screen presence is electric. She’s easily able to garner laughs from viewers but also delivers in the more emotionally charged scenes.

Since the birth of cinema, film adaptations of classic novels and plays have thrived. The first “Les Misérables” film adaptation was released in 1909, and Shakespearean plays have been the source of inspiration for hundreds of filmmakers and artists across history. The same can be said for novelist Jane Austen, whose six novels about English society and the female experience in the Regency period have been adapted countless times for film, television and the stage. The latest Austen adaptation is Netflix’s ‘Persuasion,’ directed by Carrie Cracknell and based on the novel of the same name. The film stars Dakota Johnson as Anne Elliot: a fourth-wall-breaking, borderline alcoholic woman whose world is upended when a former flame, Captain Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), reenters her life. To put it simply, this adaptation is a complete and utter mess. In an attempt to modernize the novel and connect with younger audiences, the beautiful, poetic language of Austen has been switched out for modern, quippy dialogue like “He’s a ten. I never trust a ten” and “I’m single and thriving.”
All of Austen’s rich, nuanced writing about perseverance and grief is completely lost. The film is painfully unserious, turning the original story into a shallow rom-com with very few redeeming qualities. Sure, Dakota Johnson is technically fine, but she’s basically playing a version of herself. The American actress is out of place in the period setting. This film is unabashedly capitalizing on the success of Netflix’s “Bridgerton,” another somewhat modernized retelling of life during the Regency era. “Bridgerton” is able to successfully combine modern and period elements because the show is based on a series of books written between 2000 and 2006 by American author Julia Quinn. The source material itself is modern, so it is easier for the show to retain that feeling as well. “Persuasion,” one of two novels published after Austen’s death, is a product of its time. Trying to adorn it with modern phrases and a lighthearted tone feels like a misguided attempt at seeming relatable. The problem with that is that Austen’s writing has always been relatable. Her novels have withstood the test of time because new audiences keep finding her stories relevant. That’s why the 2020 adaptation of “Emma.” starring
MOVIE STILLS DATABASE
Anya Taylor-Joy was so well received as Eleanor Catton, the film’s screenwriter, let Austen’s natural humor shine through. It is certainly not impossible to modernize an Austen story. Just look at the beloved teen film “Clueless,” released in 1995. Many fans of the film may not know that it’s a loose adaptation of “Emma,” Austen’s fourth novel. “Clueless” works because they committed to modernizing the story. Rather than use ‘90s-style dialogue in a period setting, the film is set in current-day Beverly Hills. The characters and some of the plot points are completely different, but Austen’s charm is still present. This same method was used for films such as “10 Things I Hate About You,” “My Own Private Idaho” and “She’s the Man,” all of which are based on different Shakespearean plays. If Netflix was really so adamant about modernizing “Persuasion” and attracting the “Bridgerton” crowd, this approach would have been much more appropriate. Whether you’re a Jane Austen purist or just a sucker for period romance, “Persuasion” is a film to skip. You’re definitely better off rewatching the 2005 adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” for the tenth time.
Kaluuya, who received an Oscar nomination for his role in “Get Out,” proves again that he and Peele are a match made in heaven. Even though his character is more timid and reserved than Palmer’s, Kaluuya demands your attention and empathy in every scene. But, it’s Steven Yeun’s performance as Ricky ‘Jupe’ Park, a former child star turned Western-themed amusement park owner, that sticks with you after the credits roll. His character is charismatic, yet haunt-

ing, and his arc is the center of some of the film’s main themes. As I mentioned, “Nope” is a film about society’s fascination with spectacle — how we chase things that are scary, intriguing and awe-inspiring, despite their inability to be contained. The film both critiques and celebrates the art of spectacle by observing how different types of people react to something terrifying and beautiful. Jupe tries to reign it in and control it for personal reasons that stem from a traumatic experience he had as a child, while the Haywoods immediately try to capture the phenomenon on camera for monetary gain. But, as the film progresses, they become less focused on fame and fortune and instead turn to preserving their family name. They refuse to be forgotten — like their third great grandfather, the black jockey who rode the horse in the very first series of moving pictures. “Nope” is an incredibly dense film that tackles many subjects: self-preservation, exploitation and the commodification of trauma, just to name a few. It also offers biting commentary on the film industry itself, and how the desire for fame can be the cause of one’s self-destruction. Given that this is Peele’s most experimental film yet, it won’t be for everyone. Personally, I found this film extremely alluring, much like the actual spectacle in the film. There’s an addictive aspect to it that demands your gaze, practically forcing you to gawk at the cinematic feat being presented. I encourage you to see “Nope” on the biggest screen you can, and to surrender yourself to the spectacle.
Morgenstern Books will celebrate the store’s one year anniversary during the Evening with Carrie Newcomer event at 6:30 p.m. this Thursday on South Auto Mall Road. The free event will feature a musical performance, poetry reading and book signing by Newcomer. While tickets to reserve seats are sold out, standing room is still available. Morgenstern’s asks that everyone wear a mask to the event, which will be livestreamed on the store’s Facebook page. Originally opening in the 1990s, Morgenstern’s was a facet of the Bloomington community until it was forced to close due to competition from large chain bookstores moving into town, according to its webpage. Newcomer said she was a fan of Morgenstern’s back in the ‘90s, and is glad to still be supporting independent bookstores today. “I’m really looking forward to just being part of this celebration,” Newcomer said. “Acknowledging how independent bookstores really change a community, how they really serve a community in a way that the big box stores don’t.” Newcomer, an acclaimed performing artist who’s released 19 records and three poetry books, will be reading poetry from her most recent works “Until Now: New Poems” and “A Permeable Life: Poems and Essays.” During her musical performance, Newcomer said she will premiere new songs that she hasn’t released yet, as well as songs she sees as “old friends.” She will sing “Like Molly Brown,” “If Not Now,” “Betty’s Diner” and “My Dog,” among others. The store’s co-owner, Samantha Eads, became involved with the reopening of Morgenstern’s during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a nurse practitioner, Eads and her husband, Todd,
who also worked in healthcare, found themselves struggling with the uncertainty and loss ushered in by the pandemic. “I asked [Todd] if you could do anything, if you could dream of something that you wanted to do that would make you feel better, what would you do?” Eads said. “After a minute of thinking, he said ‘I would open a bookstore.’ And I thought, ‘Yeah, that’s it.’” Two weeks later, Eads said she and her husband saw an op-ed in the paper from Rick Morgenstern, the store’s former owner in the ‘90s. In the editorial, Morgenstern said he wanted to re-open the original store now that the big box stores had moved out of Bloomington, and he was looking for anyone interested in helping. The Eads contacted Morgenstern and quickly became involved in the project. Eads said she’s incredibly grateful for the support she’s seen since the reopening, and that they couldn’t have made it without the Bloomington community. “It’s been a dream,” Eads said. “You know, no one gets into book selling to make money right now. It’s not a very lucrative profession. But, oh my goodness, it’s just so rich with all of the other treasures of life.” For Eads, Morgenstern’s locality and its focus on Indiana authors is one of its greatest strengths. When people read books, they’re not only connecting with themselves, but the authors as well, Eads said. “What’s really neat for me is, when it happens to be someone in your community who has written the book, or drawn the pictures, taken the photographs, and they’re able to speak about their experience, it deepens that connection,” Eads said. Morgenstern’s will be celebrating their anniversary throughout the week, Eads said. On the date of their anniversary, July 26, store items will be 26% discounted. On Wednesday, Morgenstern’s will lead a young adult book club. On
Friday, celtic group SuperTrad will play in the cafe. On Saturday morning, Malcolm Dalglish will perform folk music. There will be Harry Potter trivia sessions for kids and adults as well. On Sunday, local harpist Theresa Labuda will perform. Mitch Teplitsky, the store’s marketing director, agreed with Eads that Morgenstern’s has a unique ability to connect with the community. “So many people talk about the space in terms of feeling good when they’re here,” Teplitsky said. “I think people are craving community and they’re craving connection, especially coming out of a pandemic. It seems to be a profoundly important place for a lot of people.” As they celebrate the store’s one year anniversary since reopening, Teplitsky said he’s excited for the future. “I’m looking forward to creating a really memorable week of celebration, and being a catapult to another year of doing bigger and better things,” Teplitsky said.

Josef Newgarden, Pato O’Ward split weekend Iowa races By Ellie Albin
ealbin@iu.edu | @EllieAlbin1
Team Penske driver Josef Newgarden and Arrow McLaren SP driver Pato O’Ward both earned wins in the Iowa IndyCar series this weekend. Newgarden won the Hy-VeeDeals. com 250 on Saturday, and O’Ward won the Hy-Vee Salute to Farmers 300 on Sunday. Newgarden led for 208 laps in Saturday’s race, but he wrecked in race two while in the lead. O’Ward’s win on Sunday came after a second place finish in Saturday’s race. His success in Iowa pushes him up to fifth in the championship with 367 points. Outside of the race winners, Chip Ganassi Racing driver and seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson had a career-high IndyCar finish at
fifth place in Sunday’s race. He placed eleventh in the first race of the weekend. Team Penske driver Will Power earned two podiums over the weekend and started both races from the pole position. Of the current field, Power has the most all-time pole positions with 66 and is close to checking another box on his impressive career as he is only one away from tying Mario Andretti’s all-time record of 67. Chip Ganassi Racing driver Marcus Ericsson leads all IndyCar series drivers with 403 points, but Power is close behind with 395. Newgarden and Chip Ganassi Racing driver Scott Dixon are also edging closer to the top of the pack, as they’re both tied for third with 369 points. The drivers will return to Indianapolis next weekend for the first time since May to compete in the Gallagher
Grand Prix at noon on July 30. The grand prix is part of a big race weekend in In-
dianapolis, as the NASCAR Cup Series will also compete next weekend in Indy
on July 31 in the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard. Both IndyCar and NAS-
