Keeping him close How Gabe Bierman remembers his father on the field

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

Around his neck, Gabe Bierman wears a small silver baseball.

It’s a symbol of the sport he grew up with, the one that helped keep his family together through tough times.

He doesn’t take it off. He tucks it into his uniform during games, so it doesn’t fly up and break his teeth.

Every morning Gabe wakes up, holds the baseball in the palm of his hand and hopes to have a good day.

Gabe, 20, is about to begin his sophomore season as a pitcher with IU baseball. In 20 appearances as a freshman, he had a 3.56 earned run average with 46 strikeouts on his way to a 4-0 record.

After he started hanging the baseball around his neck, Gabe changed his starting routine a little bit. Before he steps on the mound for the first time in a game, he kisses the silver trinket, knowing his dad is still there with him. His dad’s ashes are inside the necklace, close against Gabe’s chest. * * * When Gabe spent time with his father, Douglas Bierman Jr., his favorite thing to do was getting lost in the six acres of land that was behind his home in Elizabeth, Indiana. Every time Douglas cut down trees or set up bonfires, he asked Gabe to come along.

“He was a fun person to be around,” Gabe said.

The two enjoyed things most father and sons do: sitting around a fire pit, spending time outdoors, playing catch in the yard. Douglas was a pitcher himself when he was younger.

He played at Floyd Central High School and the University of Southern Indiana.

Douglas lived 30 minutes away from his son. Gabe lived with his mother, Andrea Bierman, in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Andrea and Douglas divorced when Gabe was a baby.

His father wasn’t around often when he was growing up.

Douglas was a struggling alcoholic at the time, and it ruined his marriage.

He loved Gabe and his older sister Mekenzi, Andrea said.

“It’s just the alcohol took over.”

As a kid, Gabe didn’t really understand what was happening with his father. He’d visit him, but Douglas wasn’t a big part of his life.

Despite being a former baseball player, it wasn’t Douglas who introduced Gabe to baseball. His grandfather, Greg May, took him to the ballpark starting when he was 6. Gabe instantly fell in love with the game.

But as he grew older, Gabe realized his father needed to change. Douglas was never at any of his games.

His grandparents were the ones taking Gabe to travel tournaments and doing everything needed for him to get the right exposure. They took him across the country, even driving to games as far as Jupiter, Florida.

Douglas didn’t get sober until 2013. After that, there was hardly a baseball game he missed.

“There was a time span where life was just different,” Andrea said. “The bond they built once he became sober was a very good, close relationship. The one he always wanted to have with his dad.”

When Gabe entered high school, he began to show potential. He was a key part of the rotation at Jeffersonville High School as a freshman and caught the eye of then-IU head coach Chris Lemonis.

He visited IU in the middle of his freshman year, and he knew instantly it was where he wanted to be. Gabe verbally committed that summer.

Hundreds of snow ducks appeared on campus last week. Meet the IU senior who created them.

By Allyson McBride allymcbr@iu.edu | @ally_mcbride33

Little white ducks were found all over campus Feb. 6. These snow ducks were carefully crafted by IU senior Cody Rogers.

Rogers was gifted a duck mold, which was created specifically to shape snow, by a friend in October last year. He has been carrying the mold in his backpack since after the first snowfall on Halloween.

During finals week, he spent three hours by the Showalter Fountain using the mold to create around 200 ducks.

Rogers said he began assembling the ducks as a way to say thank you to his friend for the present and because it made him happier.

“When I was making all of the snow ducks around the fountain, there were tons of people who seemed to really enjoy it,” Rogers said. “So, it kept my drive going, and I just kept making more and more and more.”

Rogers had only planned on making one snow duck Thursday.

He left the duck by Sample Gates, then went to lunch. When he returned, the duck was gone.

“I was like, oh somebody took this duck, they must really enjoy it.

So I went ahead and made a couple more and left them at Sample Gates, and then I just sort of spiraled out and started placing them

all over,” Rogers said.

Rogers doesn’t always make hundreds of ducks at a time.

Sometimes he makes 10 or 15 as he walks to class. He said he was satisfied knowing his ducks could make just one person’s day better.

Junior Cassie Ruch said the ducks were wholesome and made her laugh. Sophomore Eli McCoy said he thought it was a nice gesture to make ducks for other people to enjoy them.

“The guy who did it must be pretty selfless,” McCoy said.

Rogers is studying studio arts, graphic design and digital media.

He said he did not think of his ducks as art until a woman walked out of the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture and Design and asked him about the creations, which she referred to as an exhibit.

He said this caused him to think about his ducks more artistically, and now he sometimes plans the placement of his ducks more carefully, like when he arranged them SEE DUCKS, PAGE 3

A Monroe County judge decided Feb. 7 to postpone the sentencing of a Bloomington man with a history of mental health issues who shot and killed his friend in January 2019.

According to court documents and witnesses, 63-year-old Garry Hicks came into a small fortune of around $270,000 of disability back pay from Veterans Affairs in the fall of 2018. Friends and family said he then started to become paranoid — paranoid that people were going to hurt him and his girlfriend — paranoid that someone was going to take his money.

Then on the night of Jan. 24, 2019, Hicks took a shotgun and killed his friend James Michael Troxal. He reportedly told his girlfriend Sandra Ritter, “I thought it was them.” Hicks pleaded guilty to Troxal’s murder Dec. 10.

Hicks, a Bloomington resident, has had a history of brain trauma and health issues, according to medical records and testimony from family and nurses.The Monroe Circuit Court Division 3 debated Feb. 3 whether Hicks was of sound mind during the incident.

If the courts find him to have not been, it could mean a reduced

sentence or no prison time at all.

Judge Christine Talley Haseman said she was going to take the case under advisement and that it may be a couple weeks before she makes a decision. A date for the sentencing has not yet been set.

“The decision I’m making here is affecting a lot of lives,” she said.

Arguments over Hicks’ blood sugar levels, diabetes, dementia and delirium were brought up to defend why he couldn’t recognize Troxal as his friend, even when Troxal was living in Hicks’ garage at the time.

The main point of contention Friday centered around the night Troxal was shot. Prosecuting attorney April Wilson played a recording of the 911 call for Judge Haseman, calling it “our silent, unbiased witness.”

The call was placed by Hicks’ girlfriend Sandra Ritter a few minutes after Troxal was shot.

“We’re at the house and we’re scared,” Ritter said to the operator.

“We don’t know what happened.”

The operator asked Ritter to hand the phone over to Hicks. He was told to call out for Troxal and look to see if there was a gun still nearby. Hicks called out with no response. He said there wasn’t a SEE SENTENCE, PAGE 3

Advocacy group to honor gun violence survivors

By Luzane Draughon luzdraug@iu.edu | @luzdraughon

Bloomington’s local chapter of Mom’s Demand Action for Gun Sense in America plans to gather Saturday at the Monroe County Public Library to honor gun violence survivors by listening to survivors’ stories and creating hand-folded boxes for gun violence victims.

“As a society, we struggle to grasp the toll of this violence,” said Courtney Daily, co-leader of Bloomington’s chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

The event, “Moments That Survive” is 3 p.m. Saturday in room 1C at the library. Daily said even those who aren’t moms are welcome to attend.

Attendees will create and decorate “soul boxes,” which are hand-folded origami boxes.

The organization will create one “soul box” for each victim of gun violence in the U.S. Roughly 36,000 Americans die each year due to gun violence, according to Giffords Law Center. The boxes will be displayed in locations across the country, such as cities in Oregon and Denver, Colorado, Daily said.

Daily said the idea is each box will be different, just like each soul who died is different.

Moms Demand Action is a nonpartisan organization that supports the second amendment but also sees the

value in reducing the epidemic of gun violence, Daily said. Moms Demand Action is a national organization with chapters in all 50 states.

Daily said the organization plans meetings and educates the public on gun safety.

Moms Demand Action was founded by an Indiana mom named Shannon Watts who started a Facebook

group after the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012. Daily said the organization has grown since then. The first Moms Demand Action national leadership conference she attended in 2017 had around 500 attendees, and the conference she attended last year had nearly 1800.

In 2019, The Bloomington Police Department saw an in-

crease in calls concerning firearms and an increase in the number of crimes committed with a firearm, according to its 2019 public safety report. Daily said it relates to the national issue of gun violence.

“I’ve seen with my own eyes how more and more people are getting frustrated with gun violence in our country,” she said.

New utility meters to be installed

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @joeybowling8

Starting this spring, Bloomington residents will be able to check their hourly utility usage online and receive their utility bill without delays, according to the Bloomington utilities department.

A new customer portal created by the City of Bloomington Utilities will give residents access to their hourly utility usage alongside monthly bills.

Bloomington is replacing its old meters with a new system that automatically reads utility meters, CBU spokes-

person Holly McLauchlin said. Some meters have already been replaced, and the city expects to finish replacing meters by the summer.

“There is plenty of work to do here,” McLauchlin said.

McLauchlin said the new system also benefits residents. If the person is unaware of a leak, they will be able to see the spike in usage quicker and get it fixed sooner.This will also lead to fewer delayed readings that occur because of bad weather.

CBU staff members also benefit from the new system, McLauchlin said. With automated meters, staff won’t have to go to the meter in-

A scientist who doesn’t believe humans are causing global warming was approved to speak at a meeting of physics professors and IU students Wednesday. IU community members expressed concern.

Will Holdhusen, an IU graduate student, was not offended by the controversial topic of the presentation, but said he was disappointed because the physics department allowed someone to speak on a topic they have not formally worked in the field of. Holdhusen said he researched the speaker and could not find any work published by him that related to the content of his presentation.

“My issue is that the

speaker had never studied the topic,” Holdhusen said.

Retired physicist and engineer Tim Ellison presented his perspective at the IU Physics Colloquium, denying human-caused global warming based on his understanding of research studies. The group meets once a week and is open to the public. Ellison was approved by a committee of five or six physicists, said David Baxter, chair of the physics department.

Baxter said he did not know the content of Ellison’s speech before submitting it to the committee. He said he thought there could be useful information in the presentation based on the title, “Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW): Science or Religion?”

“I had hoped that Dr. El-

lison’s talk would contrast the great deal of science that has been done and continues to be done on the issues associated with climate change,” Baxter said in an email to the Indiana Daily Student.

Ellison said he believes that although the Earth’s temperature may be rising, it is not abnormal because the Earth’s climate has changed in the past. He said at one point he believed in human-caused global warming, but doesn’t after he realized he was just listening to what other people told him and decided to do his own research.

He said people are too concerned about global warming because the changes happening now are insignificant compared to previous centuries.

About 50 people attended Ellison’s speech.

Throughout the presentation, audience members asked Ellison questions, challenging the data he presented and his interpretation of it.

One audience member asked why one of the graphs on Ellison’s slides did not include data from the past five years. Ellison said he was focusing on centuries, so the past five years are less important.

While there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat in the last 650,000 years, the warming trend is increasing at an unprecedented rate, according to NASA Global Climate Change. There is more than a 95% probability that this is because of human activity since the mid-20th century.

Lee Florea, a hydrogeologist who studies groundwater and the movement of carbon through Earth said there are three different ways scientists test if global warming is real. These include measuring and analyzing field data such as ice thickness and sea level increase, calculating what could happen to try to predict the future, and setting up models of ecosystems to test the effects of different variables.

Scientists have known for many decades that humans affect climate change, Florea said.

He said humans were not around for the previous times the Earth’s ecosystems adjusted, so it is unclear if humans will be able to adapt as the Earth goes through its next adjustment.

“Something will come out the other side,” Florea said. “We may or may not be a part of that picture.”

Many Americans experience gun violence, including adults as well as children. Daily said Moms Demand Action wants to make survivors of gun violence feel represented and have the space to share their story if they choose.

“We feel that through legislation, education and policy change, we can reduce gun violence,” Daily said.

IU again named a top producer of Fulbright scholars

The increase in citizens concerned with gun violence encouraged Moms Demand Action to pay close attention to gun bills being passed through the state legislature.

Daily said different chapters in Indiana coordinate to have volunteers in the audience at the Statehouse when legislation concerning guns is discussed.

IU has been recognized as a top producer of Fulbright scholars for the fifth year in a row, according to a Feb. 11 IU press release.

Fourteen IU-Bloomington students and two IUPurdue University Indianapolis students have been invited this year to participate in the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, according to the release.

The program awards grants to U.S. scholars, teachers and faculty members to conduct research and to teach overseas, according to the program’s website. The program is funded by an annual appropriation from the U.S. Congress to the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Fulbright grants generally cover travel and living expenses.

Former IU student and former vice president of

IU Student Government Maggie Hopkins is now a Fulbright English teaching assistant in Giessen, Germany, and is also taking courses at Justus-Liebig University, according to the release.

“My job, in addition to being an English teacher, is also that of a cultural ambassador,” Hopkins said in the release. “I view my job as diplomacy on a micro-level.

For many of my students, I am the first American they have ever met.”

IU President Michael McRobbie said in the release he is proud that IU continues to produce so many Fulbright scholars.

“These awards reflect the excellence of our students, faculty and programs, and our commitment to international engagement,” he said in the release.

A full list of the IUBloomington and IUPUI Fulbright scholars this year is available here.

“You’re doing a really good job staying calm for me,” the operator said.

Evidence showed a bullet casing was found in a drawer in Hicks’ bedroom, and a shotgun was found in the trunk of a neighbor's truck in Hicks' driveway, according to court documents.

The prosecution argued Hicks wasn’t telling the truth on the 911 call. Wilson said since Hicks helped identify the house and information about Troxal, he understood the situation and what was going on. Defense argued Hicks could have potentially been falling in and out of lucidity throughout the night because of his mental health issues, not remembering what happened correctly until later.

Sometime in the 1980s, Hicks got into a fight with one of his coworkers and fell down the stairs, hitting his head on the concrete floor. One the witness stand, Hicks’ twin brother Larry said he held Hicks’ head while blood poured from his ears and they waited for the ambulance.

Years later, around 2001, Hicks fell off his brother’s balcony when the railing Hicks was leaning on broke.

He fell 15 to 18 feet headfirst. He spent around 30 days in the hospital, Larry Hicks said.

Polly Westcott, a neural psychologist, testified Feb. 2 that these head injuries over time have resulted in a mild to major neurocognitive disorder, according to CT scans Westcott analyzed.

Westcott explained that these issues were exacerbated by Hicks' other medical issues. Hicks has suffered a heart attack and has diabetes, but the diabetes went uncared for, Westcott said. After the shooting,

Hicks’ blood sugar level read 234. The typical blood sugar level is between 100 to 140.

Westcott said Hicks’ brain trauma worsened over time, and coupled with untreated diabetes and heart issues could have led to early dementia, which would explain Hicks’ demeanor.

Nurses from Advanced Correctional Healthcare testified that Hicks has exhibited signs of lethargy, inability to comprehend conversations or issues, memory loss and has reported seeing and hearing things.

Hicks’ attorneys Todd Sallee and Michael Krupp argued Hicks allegedly seeing and hearing things the night of the incident could have led him to not recognize Troxal.

Hicks’ brother Larry, 63, testified Hicks began talking about seeing and hearing people about two years ago. The first instance was when Hicks told his brother he saw people reflected in the brass doorknobs of his house trying to get in.

“He was scared to death,” Larry said. “So help me God, that’s the truth.”

Thomas Gott, a neighbor of Hicks, agreed Hicks started acting scared all the time starting in the fall of 2018.

Gott said Hicks would stay late at Gott’s house, waiting for his girlfriend Sandra to be home because he didn’t want to be home alone.

Gott, along with Westcott, Larry and others agreed a prison sentence may not be the best option for Hicks. There may not be mental health resources or programs in prisons that could help Hicks get better.

Gabe and baseball brought both sides of his family together.

Douglas would stand up toward the top of the stands to the right of home plate. It was just a few rows behind Andrea and the rest of his family. Not next to her but close enough Gabe could see them both. Douglas was a rambunctious parent at baseball games.

Every time Gabe would pitch, Douglas would yell from the stands: "ROCKET FIRE." He knew each pitch that was coming. Douglas saw himself in Gabe on the mound — the only difference between them as pitchers was their throwing hands.

“He definitely inherited his dad’s talent,” Andrea said.

“Dougie felt it, seen it, said it. He just was fascinated. He was saying all the stuff he was doing. He was amazed.

He said, ‘I see him going and walking where I wanted to be.’”

In the spring, Gabe earned his first recognition as a collegiate athlete. He threw 1.1 scoreless innings against the University of Kentucky and three days later had three perfect innings at Michigan.

Douglas didn’t make the trip to the May matchup with Michigan, but he watched it back home. Not being there didn't dampen his excitement. While watching his eight-strikeout performance against the Wolverines, the best outing Gabe had ever pitched, Douglas texted Andrea about what he was seeing.

“HE JUST DID SOME MAJOR LEAGUE SHIT THERE!” Gabe was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after the performance. When he found out about his award, Gabe sent a picture to his dad with the announcement.

She told him yes, it was true.

He began to cry, and his grandfather hugged him in the parking lot. After a few minutes, Gabe walked the few feet into the IU clubhouse. The coaching staff was waiting for him.

The first person he saw was Mercer. Gabe didn’t say a single word. He hugged him and cried.

“Why is this happening to me?” Gabe asked.

“You can’t do that to yourself,” Mercer told him.

With the Rutgers series set to begin in a couple of hours, Mercer told Gabe to take some time away from the field by himself and think things through. After the staff told the team what happened, Gabe went up and hugged each of his teammates.

Gabe called his family and said he wanted them to be there with him. He ultimately showed up to the game 45 minutes before it started and went through his normal warmups. He sat with his team in uniform for the first two games of the series but didn’t play. He wanted to be with his team.

Gabe wanted to show his team he was strong, that losing his father didn’t affect his place on the team. He just wanted to play baseball.

He knew that's what his father would've wanted.

“Ever ything worked where he has great support there at IU,” Andrea said. “He feels at home. It helps him get through each day having people around him, supporting him.”

In between each inning, Parker looked Gabe straight into his eyes, nodded, smiled and told him to finish it.

“You could see this is what he wanted,” Parker said. “He wanted the ball; he wanted the game. He could kind of feel it, we could feel it as a club.”

The ninth inning came around. One more out, and they were champions.

Gabe threw a fast fastball toward the middle of the plate and caught the batter looking. the When strike was called, he turned

around, clenched his right hand, pounded his chest and screamed in celebration. His team sprinted toward him.

After the team dog-piled on top of him, he ran over to his mother and hugged her.

Gabe then handed her the baseball he threw for the final out. She said they would give it to Douglas to hold in his casket.

“You just knew his dad was out there with him,” An Andrea said. “You just knew.” * * * Gabe attended his father’s visitation three days after he won the regular season title. Nearly 500 people came and went, but Gabe never left the casket's side.

During the viewing, his family put Gabe’s IU logo baseball hat on Douglas along with the game ball.

When Andrea was setting up the funeral, Gabe thought of the idea for a necklace to carry Douglas’ ashes. He wanted to always have his father with him. Gabe was gone for a month playing sumfo mer baseball and his family surprised him.

His sister Mekenzi had the idea to separate the ashes among five marble-sized silver baseballs. Gabe, Andrea, Mekenzi, his brother Myles and his stepmother Molly each wear one around their necks.

Gabe decided to put the baseball on his chain that already held a silver cross.

From time to time, Gabe looks at his necklace or his text messages and remembers his father. He believes his father would be proud of the person he’s become, and the baseball player he hopes to be.

When IU takes on Louisiana State University on Feb. 14, it will mark the beginning of the first full season Gabe is set to play without his father. Every time he steps on the mound for the Hoosiers, he just wants to throw some rocket fire.

"He kind of looked at me and I kind of looked at him like we were a duo," Gabe said. "We were kind of the same person, but we weren’t going down the same paths.”

WRESTLING

IU looks to boost its record in nonconference Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

After nine consecutive Big Ten matches, IU will finish its regular season with matchups against two nonconference opponents.

IU will face off against Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on Sunday, making it the fourth straight season that the two teams have met. The Hoosiers have collected three wins during the recent contests, including an overall scoring advantage of 82-37. Last year, IU traveled to SIU Edwardsville and brought back a 21-15 victory.

The next two matches against SIU Edwardsville and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga will give IU an opportunity to gain momentum heading into the Big Ten Championships on March 7-8.

“I think that every coach would tell you that you just beat up on each other so much in the Big Ten that it’s nice to get a break and face some other opponents,” IU head coach Angel Escobedo said after Sunday’s match with Nebraska.

The Hoosiers struggled throughout the conference season, posting a 1-8 record.

In its last two Big Ten duals, IU was outscored 73-15.

“It was a tough Big Ten season, but we’re in this conference for a reason,” Escobedo said. “I just keep preaching to our guys that we have to bounce back and be resilient.”

JOY BURTON | IDS

Redshirt junior Jake Kleimola walks away from the benches Feb. 9 during the wrestling match against Nebraska at Wilkinson Hall. IU will compete against Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on Sunday in Bloomington.

SIU Edwardsville has a 2-11 overall record and failed to earn a win in the MidAmerican Conference with an 0-8 mark. The Cougars’ only victories come from matches against West Liberty University and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

SIU Edwardsville will wrestle against the University

of Missouri on Wednesday before coming to Bloomington on Sunday. IU, however, will have a full week of rest after their match against No. 11 Nebraska on Sunday.

The Cougars and Hoosiers both competed in the Midlands Championships at the end of December. At 157 pounds, freshman Justin Ruf-

fin was the lone wrestler on the podium for SIU Edwardsville, finishing seventh at the tournament. Ruffin was a four-time state champion at Union Grove high school in Georgia.

IU put three wrestlers on the podium at the Midlands Championships with juniors Brock Hudkins and Jake Co-

vaciu and freshman DJ Washington. All three wrestlers, however, may not be in the lineup on Sunday. Hudkins is out for the season after suffering a severe knee injury, Covaciu has been sidelined for the last two weeks with a head injury and Washington is redshirting this year.

Along with Ruffin,

149-pound redshirt senior Tyshawn Williams has been among the more consistent wrestlers for the Cougars.

Williams has won his last five matches, boosting his overall record to 10-5. He qualified for the NCAA championships in the 2017-18 season.

Sunday will be senior night for the Hoosiers, as it marks the last home match of their season.

“They’ve given a lot to the program and we’re very proud of them,” Escobedo said. “The biggest thing is to let them know that this is not it. That night is not your last stop. There’s still the Big Ten tournament and the NCAA tournament. After that, you still have this program.”

IU junior Liam Cronin will look to win his seventh match in a row Sunday. During the streak, Cronin has dominated his opponents by a total score of 31-12. Cronin and redshirt freshman Graham Rooks have put themselves in position to make the NCAA championships through their recent success. Rooks went 6-3 during Big Ten duals.

The match will be a chance for the Hoosiers to win their first match since Jan. 26 and bolster their individual records.

“I want to see us use that Big Ten mentality and treat them the same, whether they’re ranked or not,” Escobedo said. “Let’s treat them like they’re Iowa or Nebraska.

We can’t take a back seat and think that we can take two weeks off.”

WOMEN’S GOLF

IU freshman finishes sixth overall as IU struggles Doug Wattley dwattley@iu.edu | @dougwattley

After a three-and-a-half month break from competitive play, the IU women’s golf team returned to action Sunday in Puerto Rico.

In a competitive 15-team tournament, the Hoosiers finished tied for 12th after the final round Tuesday.

Freshman Anni Eisenhut led the way as she finished sixth overall at five under par. She improved every day, recording scores of 72, 70 and 69.

She said that since she knew the first tournament of the season was not going to be perfect, she had to come in with a plan. Eisenhut said she tried to focus on one shot at a time while keeping a calm and relaxed demeanor for all 54 holes.

“I wanted to have fun,” Eisenhut said. “If I didn’t hit

a green, I just told myself to grind it out with a positive attitude.”

That mindset paved the way for the best finish of her young career. But even with strong play by the freshman, IU struggled as a whole.

Entering the second round, the Hoosiers were in last place at 23 over par.

Head coach Clint Wallman attributed the high numbers to making already difficult holes on the course even harder.

“In that first round, we made four triple-bogeys, two doubles and one quad,” Wallman said. “We played OK, but we got in trouble on the holes that we just needed to power through.”

Despite an underwhelming first 18 holes, the Hoosiers recovered as the tournament progressed. The team improved each of the next two rounds, shooting

12-over and 8-over on Monday and Tuesday.

“Overall, I’m proud of how the girls rebounded,” Wallman said. “That’s three freshmen and one sophomore in the lineup. To see them look sharper each round is definitely encouraging.”

Missing from the lineup was junior Priscilla Schmid.

She ended her fall season as the champion of the Landfall Tradition, but is dealing with injuries she suffered over the winter.

“We’re trying to get her healthy,” Wallman said.

“But at the end of the day, we have to have other people step up and showcase the depth that we have.”

The Hoosiers have no competition this weekend, but they will return to action Feb. 23 at the Westbrook Invitational in Peoria, Arizona.

OPINION

Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020 idsnews.com

Editors Abby Malala and Tom Sweeney opinion@idsnews.com

IN THIS ESSAY I WILL...

IU had a BDSM demonstration at SexFest. That’s a good thing.

Tom Sweeney, he/him is a senior in economics and mathematics.

Alfred Kinsey, IU’s famous biologist and sexologist, reported in 1953 that 12% of females and 22% of males he interviewed responded erotically to sadomasochism. More than half responded erotically to being bitten.

More than 65 years later, BDSM, an umbrella term for bondage, dominance, submission and masochism, has entered the mainstream on colleges campuses, making educational programming about how to do it safely more important than ever.

Students involved with Sexual Health Advocacy Group, a registered student organization, and staff working with IU Health Center responded to this trend by organizing a “kink workshop” for IU’s fifth annual SexFest last week. The workshop, which took place Feb. 5 at Willkie Auditorium, garnered international attention and criticism from conservative media outlets after a student recorded a video of an instructional demonstration and posted it online.

After initially defending the event, the university canceled the final night of SexFest, citing the threat of a “disruption.” In a statement Friday, the provost seemed to legitimize conservative commentators’ concerns by calling the BDSM demonstration “inappropriate, disturbing and offensive.”

Despite blowback from those who disapprove of BDSM, the university, which has a long history of innovative sexual health education, should stand by the event and redouble its efforts to meet the modern needs of students.

Sexual Health Advocacy Group and the health center invited local group Bloomington Kink to give demonstrations on safe use of sex toys at the workshop, which also offered free HIV testing. Matt Ahmann, a sophomore, took photos and recorded video of the event with a friend and sent a video of a safety instruction involving a BDSM toy to the conservative news blog Campus Reform.

Singe, the leader of Bloomington Kink who has worked in BDSM education for nearly

a decade, said Ahmann and his friend recording immediately made the volunteers uncomfortable.

Over the course of an hour, several volunteers at the event reportedly asked Ahmann to stop recording, citing the need to protect the privacy of the volunteers and individuals being tested for HIV, Singe said. After Ahmann refused to stop recording, Singe attempted to obscure his camera’s view by holding up a T-shirt.

“I’m into some REALLY kinky stuff like…CONSENT,” the shirt read. Bloomington Kink printed educational materials on consent and had them at every table, Singe said.

Singe said Ahmann called her an immoral degenerate trying to corrupt his generation.

Ahmann said in an interview he was respectful but confirmed he shared his views with the volunteers.

He called the demonstration “morally reprehensible.”

He said he took issue with the demonstration because he thought it involved “sexually gratifying” people in pub-

lic and compared it to “softcore porn.”

In actuality, the demonstration bore little resemblance to pornography. The 6-second video Ahmann posted online shows a fully dressed volunteer lightly hitting another member of Bloomington Kink, wearing a shirt, underwear and socks, with a thin paddle, telling onlookers about “gauging where you’re at.”

Singe stressed that the purpose of the event was to teach students about consent and how to avoid physical, emotional and psychological harm. The educational aim did not satisfy Ahmann.

“In theory you could have a sex education class and the teacher could be having sex in front of the class and educating them on how it works, but that doesn’t make it right,” he said.

However, conservatives like Ahmann miss the point.

Offering wide-ranging health education free of charge is an important mission of a university health center, and IU does it well.

IU has a long history of in-

novative sexual health education, discussing BDSM even as early as 30 years ago. William Schendel, a student in the early 1990s, said he participated on panels organized by health center staff that answered questions on BDSM, among other sensitive sexual topics. The need for BDSM education has only increased since then.

Before IU canceled the final night of SexFest last week, university spokesperson Chuck Carney defended the SexFest events by referencing increased demand. He told Campus Reform on Feb. 6 that instruction on performing BDSM safely was one of the most requested topics from students.

“Our public health researchers have found some evidence to suggest that people are engaging in a broader range of sexual activities, and as a result, it is the IU Health Center’s mission to make sure they practice it safely, following the BDSM community’s principal tenets of ‘safe, sane, and consensual,’” Carney told Campus Reform.

A nationally representa-

tive 2017 survey by IU’s Kinsey Institute showed 1 in 5 Americans found playing with restraints during sex appealing, and 1 in 3 liked spanking.

This, along with the increased prevalence of BDSM in mainstream media, suggests the university has an obligation to help students be safe when engaging in these activities.

“BDSM education is important because people are curious about it — people are doing it,” Singe said. “If anybody’s ever pulled somebody’s hair or spanked somebody, they’ve done BDSM.” The university’s original idea was right. The provost’s subsequent statement, however, seemed to legitimize the concerns from Ahmann and the conservative sites.

“I want to make absolutely clear that we did not condone, support, or approve of the demonstration that took place,” the provost said. Ahmann praised her statement on Twitter.

It’s disappointing to see the university disassociate itself from such valuable work and imply blame toward Bloomington Kink or the stu-

dents and staff who invited them.

Sexual health education is an important mission, and IU’s Health & Wellness Education program works hard to be innovative in its approach with engaging activities, such as its annual Cupcakes and Condoms event.

IU Health Center’s vision statement says it strives to create a healthy and safe community by “empowering students” through effective and innovative programs.

SexFest, including its BDSM events, is among of the best of those programs.

“The thing that has always drawn me to BDSM and kink is that it is all about self-empowerment,” Singe said.

IU and the public must do better at empowering students in their sexual health moving forward. Those who label BDSM as disturbing or reprehensible risk spreading ignorance about an increasingly consequential topic. I hope IU offers more events like this year’s SexFest in the future. tpsweene@iu.edu

JONAH’S JUSTIFICATIONS

Mainstream news media is biased against progressives Jonah Hyatt, he/him is a junior in political science and philosophy.

Since the rise of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in his 2016 presidential run, the news coverage from legacy print and broadcasting media has either largely ignored progressive politicians or downplayed them as unpopular.

Despite being portrayed as radical or “too far left” by mainstream media outlets, the progressive agenda is incredibly popular across the political spectrum. Policies such as raising taxes on the wealthy, single-payer health care, tuition-free public college and ending offensive regime-change wars overseas have only risen in popularity among young people and the working class.

Working class Americans are suffering, and the country’s economy and allocation of funds need to change now.

The media is supposed to challenge those in office and hold them accountable, but in recent years coverage has fallen short.

Much of the media coverage of Sanders and his progressive allies is hardly objective, often framing attacks from a center-right perspective.

Most notorious was the “Bernie Blackout,” in which media outlets such as the New York Times, CNN and MSNBC severely limited their coverage of Sanders last year.

However, now that Sanders has proven himself likely the most viable 2020 Demo-

cratic candidate, according to FiveThirtyEight’s election forecast, it is more difficult for news media to continue ignoring him.

Sanders has rarely been given a fair shake by the mainstream media networks.

Outlets like the Washington Post have a consistent antiSanders bias, one day in 2016 even running 16 hit pieces on Sanders in 16 hours — highly disproportionate compared to other candidates.

The most pervasive claim propagated by established media networks is the infamous “Bernie Bro’’ narrative, which insinuates his support is entirely composed of white males. In reality Sanders has arguably the most diverse support base of any current presidential candidate, with over 5 million individual donations and leading in youth support.

In one egregious example, a legal analyst on MSNBC said Sanders was not a “prowoman candidate” without any evidence except saying, “Bernie Sanders makes my skin crawl. I can’t even identify for you what exactly it is.” In fact, Sanders has raised more money from women than any other candidate, according to the Center for Responsive Politics last month.

However, Sanders is not alone: Progressive politicians across the country are not treated fairly by the mainstream press and broadcasting networks.

Long-time progressive political commentator and activist Cenk Uygur is running

Cenk Uygur is the host and co-founder of “The Young Turks” online talk show.

for congress in California’s 25th District and has been repeatedly smeared as a misogynist and racist even after repeatedly disavowing past offensive blog posts.

Uygur helped found one of the largest progressive media outlets in politics, as well as Wolf PAC and Justice Democrats. These organizations aim to get money out of politics and back some of the most successful progressives in office today, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-MN, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-MA and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-MI. Policy discussion is rarely the focus when analyzing progressives. Instead com-

mentators offer nonsensical moral outrage. This was clearly demonstrated last year when Tlaib and Omar were called anti-Semitic by Jewish Groups and congressional Republicans for taking a stand with the Palestinian people against Israel’s oppressive occupation.

Even when discussion focuses on policy, the approach is usually from a right-wing perspective.

Take “Medicare for All,” for example. CNN host Jake Tapper ran a “fact check” last August evaluating the cost of Medicare for All in which he misled viewers, challenging Sanders’ claim that the proposal will save the American people money. Three days

later, facing backlash, he acknowledged the need for corrections.

In the wake of the disastrous Iowa caucuses, media coverage of progressive politicians has not changed at all.

At 62% of the votes counted, former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg had the audacity to claim he won the Iowa caucus. Instead of dismissing him and exposing his suspicious ties to the makers of the faulty Shadow app, the main media broadcasting networks published several articles backing his “victory.”

With 100% of precints reporting, Sanders won the popular vote, while Buttigieg had a slight lead in state delegate equivalents. The Iowa Demo-

cratic Party is still recanvassing the results.

The primary print and broadcasting media networks are not doing their job.

It should be no surprise that both Democrats and Republicans have become more distrustful of news media recently.

More Americans now get their news from social media than print newspapers. Twitter may not represent real life, but its communities and users’ political attitudes are.

The stories espoused by legacy media corporations are not gospel, and the American people are smart enough to see through that. hyattj@iu.edu

Middle Way House to organize benefit concert and support services to victims of abuse, Middle Way House will present a benefit concert 7 p.m. Friday at the Blockhouse Bar featuring Opal Fly and Kapow!

Wrapped In Love is most visible on the streets of Bloomington, where trees are wrapped in sweaters crocheted by volunteer artists which are commissioned and paid for by local individuals and companies. The initiative

By Hannah Johnson hanjohn@iu.edu | hannah_dailey1

For Middle Way House, “Wrapped In Love” is a mantra. It’s a way to support survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, it’s a clothing line for trees and, this Valentine’s Day, it’s a musical celebration.

To raise money for their Wrapped In Love initiative, which provides emergency

has raised $20,000 for Middle Way House in the last year, and the proceeds will provide aid to survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.

The benefit concert will do the same, further advancing the Wrapped In Love movement, said events coordinator Erin Hollinden.

“We wanted to expand the whole brand and idea of Wrapped In Love,” Hollinden said. “We wrap survivors of

sexual assault in love and in our services.”

Hollinden said the event will be a Valentine’s Day dance party complete with music, a raffle and merchandise for sale. All proceeds from the raffle and merchandise, which will include tiedye T-shirts made by kids in Middle Way House’s youth program, go to the organization.

Headlining the concert is

Opal Fly and Kapow!, a genretranscending local band made up of singer-songwriter Opal Fly, drummer Donn Middleton and bassist Mark Buschkill. They will be joined by fellow Bloomington-based band, The ShackUps. In addition to providing tunes, Opal Fly and Kapow! will sell band merchandise and raffle off a vinyl test pressing of their unreleased new album, “Dig It,” which

“We’re not often in the position financially to help groups like theirs, so the chance to do what we love to help them is really great,” Buschkill said.

The band will perform their original songs, many of which carry an encouraging message that Buschkill said matches the uplifting mission of the concert. They also plan to add Valentine’s Day-inspired standards and dance tunes to their set list, Buschkill said.

“We try and make our music to have a positive message,” Buschkill said. “Our songs are about taking care of yourself and loving yourself, so it does tie in.”

Many musicians perform at the Blockhouse, but coowner David James said he’s especially happy to host an event for Middle Way House.

“We host a lot of events and it’s always a pleasure to host something for an organization we support,” James said.

Tickets will be sold for $5 at the door.

Though the event is primarily intended to be a fun night for those who attend, it’s important to remember the seriousness of the cause it’s advocating for, Hollinden said.

“We all want to understand that Valentine’s Day is painful for many people, and intimate partner violence is a large chunk of sexual assault out there,” Hollinden said. “So we want to celebrate love.”
