Khristian Lander commits to IU

Khristian Lander, the nation’s No. 1 point guard in the class of 2021 according to 247Sports, announced his commitment to IU via his Twitter account Tuesday night. Lander is a five-star recruit and ranked the No. 11 overall player in the nation. He is an Evansville, Indiana, native playing at Francis Joseph Reitz High School. He picked IU over the University of Louisville, University of Memphis and Michigan. A reclassification, which involves leaving high school a year before expected graduation to play in college earlier, for Lander is reportedly being considered. The Herald-Times reported Lander would prefer to attend IU as part of the 2020 class. The decision would seem reasonable given how early in his recruitment process he made his commitment. Lander is just the second five-star-rated prospect in the class of 2021 to make a college decision. IU has a scholarship spot available should Lander choose to move up to the class of 2020. The high school junior visited Bloomington for IU’s game Sunday against then-No. 9 Penn State. He previously visited IU, including an official visit in the fall. IU head coach Archie Miller has now landed three five-star recruits from Indiana. Lander joins a list that already included current freshman Trayce JacksonDavis and current Boston Celtics guard Romeo Langford. Multiple high school recruiting experts did not expect Lander to pick IU over Michigan. Lander provides IU with an option for the future at point guard. Should Lander remain in the class of 2021, starting point guard Rob Phinisee would be a senior when Lander arrives on campus.

Charles Bonds, who was issued a citation while protesting last fall at the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market, voices his opposition to changing the agenda lineup Feb. 25 at the Bloomington Board of Park Commissioners meeting in City Hall. The board voted 2-1 to implement changes to the farmers market rules, which define the areas of the market where protesters are permitted.
CONFLICT AT THE FARMERS MARKET
New farmers market rules approved by board The rules were updated after months of debate over free speech regulation at the Bloomington Community Farmers' Market By Ty Vinson vinsonjo@iu.edu | @ty_vinson_
The Bloomington Board of Park Commissioners passed new rules for the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market on Tuesday at a fiery meeting that included a 10-minute break to ease tensions and more than 40 comments from the public. The new rules include an outline of market boundaries to clarify where people are allowed to protest. Inside market boundaries, people are prohibited from picketing, demonstrating, yelling and hindering the flow of pedestrians or access to a vendor. They also include information on when Bloomington Police Department can be called. Police can be called to relocate protesters to free speech areas or arrest
those who don’t comply to market rules after fair warning. The new rules passed 2-1 with yes votes from board members Kathleen Mills and Les Coyne and a no from board member Israel Herrera. The changes for vendors and customers follows protests and debate that have been brewing since June 2019 over First Amendment rights and when and where people are allowed to protest. During the meeting, members of the public claimed rules of behavior weren’t written down at the beginning of the market season last year, when people were protesting Schooner Creek Farm’s presence at the market. The owners of Schooner Creek Farm, Sarah Dye and Doug Mackey, have ties to the group Ameri-
can Identity Movement, a white nationalist group, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Dye and Mackey are suing the City of Bloomington and three city officials, alleging that allowing political groups to protest their presence at the market yet asking Dye and Mackey to not express their beliefs is a violation of their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Some argued the lack of explicit rules for marketgoers and vendors is what led to some arrests of protesters such as Cara Caddoo, an IU instructor who was arrested last summer for protesting at the market. Throughout the meeting, each member of the public was given a maximum of two minutes to SEE MARKET, PAGE 6

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Wise to be recognized before final home game By Sam Bodnar sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13
Senior forward Brenna Wise will play in her final regular season home game Thursday when No. 22 IU women’s basketball goes for a season sweep of Nebraska. The Hoosiers defeated the Huskers 57-53 on Feb. 9. A senior night victory at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall would be the first time in four seasons that the Hoosiers won both regular season games. IU is undefeated against Nebraska since Wise’s arrival to Bloomington. Wise transferred from the University of Pittsburgh in 2017 and is in her second season with IU. She has averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in her two years wearing cream and crimson. The Hoosiers won the only match between the two teams last season 82-78. Wise scored just four points, but her four rebounds and tight defense kept all but one of Nebraska’s forwards below double digits. Wise put up 10 points in the road win against the Huskers on Feb. 9. Her 3-point shooting and rebounding were key for the Hoosiers and will be important factors Thursday. During Wise's college career, IU is 42-20. SEE WISE, PAGE 6

A Tig Notaro CD titled “Boyish Girl Interrupted” sits in the comedy section at Landlocked Music. Landlocked is putting on a coloring contest until Feb. 29.
Landlocked Music offers coloring contest By Hannah Johnson hanjohn@iu.edu | @hannah_dailey1
In celebration of art, music, creativity and silliness, Landlocked Music is looking for a winner for its coloring contest. The record store will award the winning artist two tickets to see Bonnie Prince Billy and Jonathan Richman in concert March 5 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. To enter, artists must download the black and white coloring page from the Landlocked website, color it in and submit by either dropping it off at the store or posting a photo on Instagram or Facebook and tagging @landlockedmusic by Feb. 29. The coloring pages are outlines
of the faces of Billy and Richman, the musicians whose concert tickets are the prize for the contest. Landlocked employee Abby Hart, who designed the portraits, said she enjoyed creating artwork she wouldn’t have necessarily thought to make on her own. “Bonnie Prince Billy has a really distinct look, so it was really fun to make him a cartoon,” Hart said. “I always enjoy doing something different.” Landlocked, located in downtown Bloomington, prioritizes connecting with the community and kept this in mind when planning the contest, Hart said. “The whole point of it is to get people who are excited about the concert to be like ‘Oh cool, I’m
involved in this event too,'” Hart said. When Landlocked receives free tickets to give away, the owners typically decide on a winner by drawing a random name, co-owner Jason Nickey said. After receiving giveaway tickets for Bonnie Prince Billy and Jonathan Richman from the BuskirkChumley Theater, however, they wanted to do something special. “We thought it would be a fun, silly thing to do,” Nickey said. “It’s exactly what you think: a coloring contest for grown-ups.” Nickey said they’ve already received some entries, each one more ridiculous than the last. So far, contestants have transformed the portraits of Billy and
Richman into everything from flowers to pirates to monsters, displaying the creativity and whimsy necessary for taking home the prize, Nickey said. “I would say we’re looking for the most crazy and off-the-wall one,” Nickey said. “Realism is not what we’re going for.” With the deadline only a few days away, Hart said applicants should submit their work soon. In her opinion, the best entries are the ones where an artist’s enthusiasm is evident in their creation. “We try to think every time we do something, how can we get people to engage?” Hart said. “That was the whole idea behind the coloring contest. People love coloring contests.”
