It was raining at the Monroe County Courthouse before the start of the #StopTheBans rally and reproductive justice fair Tuesday afternoon. But as supporters gathered with umbrellas and protest signs, the skies cleared. Just over 500 #StopTheBans rallies happened at courthouses and statehouses across the country in response to restrictive legislation about reproductive rights passed last week in multiple states. “A little rain doesn’t matter if it means that we can come save our rights,” said Andrea Smart, who attended the Bloomington rally with her family. The national event was announced by Planned Parenthood on Friday in partnership with over 70 organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union, National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws Pro-Choice America and Women’s March, according to a Planned Parenthood press release.

For the sixth straight season, IU’s rowing team finished in the top five at the Big Ten Championships. The Hoosiers and the rest of the Big Ten competed Sunday at Devil’s Lake in Baraboo, Wisconsin, to crown a conference champion. Michigan came out on top with 186 points while IU finished in fifth place with 98 points. Despite not winning it all, IU saw impressive performances from a number of its boats. The Second Varsity 8 team, which consists of freshmen Jayna Dolfi and Ruby Leverington, sophomores Kendall Blake and Maggie Bornhorst, junior Paige Spiller and seniors Connie Brahm, Ellie Meinzer, Melanie Hampton and Maddie Pierce, finished in third place with a time of 6:39.971. It was the best finish for the 2V8 boat since the 2015-16 Big Ten Championships. The First Novice 8 boat — freshmen Libby Brown, Ella Cunningham, Emily Worobel, Madison Callaway, Victoria Vicory, Catherine Ryan, Sophie McCartin, Haley Flanagan and Isabelle Crain — also finished in third place with a time of 6:41.039.

The Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office arrested a 40-year-old woman Monday for a May 13 hit-and-run that killed a Monroe County man while he was biking. Alicia Hacker told detectives she was driving home on State Road 45 East the night of the crash, according to a MCSO press release. She said she thought she struck a deer and, though she was aware of the fatal collision in the same area, did not make a connection. Michael Brooks, 41, was pronounced dead at IU Health Bloomington Hospital at 11:02 p.m. May 13, Monroe County Coroner Joani Shields said in an email. An autopsy performed the next day in Terre Haute, Indiana, showed he died of blunt force trauma to the head. Deputies found matching damage on Hacker’s 2003 Pontiac Montana van and Brooks’ bike. Several people told the Sheriff ’s Office that Hacker’s van was damaged. Deputies located the vehicle at a parking lot where Hacker works. Among the matching damage was an exact impression of a Phillips head screw on the right edge of the van’s front bumper, which corresponded with a Phillips head screw attached to the bike’s rear fender. Hacker was arrested on the preliminary charge of leaving the scene of an accident fatality.

With an already impressive recruiting class, IU men’s soccer announced the addition of two more players Tuesday afternoon. Joris Ahlinvi from Gujan-Mestras, France, and Quinten Helmer from Amsterdam will be joining the 2019 recruiting class, which prior to their commitments was ranked No. 5 in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer.

"His ability to unbalance off the dribble, elite athleticism and overall attacking creativity will provide an immediate impact next fall. We are very excited to have a player with his ability join our program.” Helmer has no college experience but played for Alkmaar Zaanstreek, better known as AZ Alkmaar, a Dutch professional club that plays in the highest professional league in the Netherlands. During Helmer’s eight years with the club, he helped them win multiple international tournaments, three regional championships and two National Championships. “Quinten will be a wonderful addition to our program,” Yeagley said. “His high-end technical ability and soccer IQ will help us in several midfield roles heading into next fall.
