ACE replaced by Brightspace Four classes have been piloting the new platform this semester since its purchase last fiscal year By Brianna Smith STAFF WRITER
Students and faculty at the University of Indianapolis have been using ACE as their L earning Management System for several years. ACE is especial l y valuable dur ing the COVID-19 pandemic, as most campus c lasses are being held virtually. According to Special Assistant to the Pro vost and Executive Director for the Center for Aging & Community Ellen Miller, there are four classes that are currently piloting
a new LMS known as Brightspace. Brightspace was purchased last fiscal year after years of discussing the movement to a new LMS. Miller said the university had been working with Brightspace since before the pandemic. However, it has not impacted the implementation of Brightspace, Miller said. “Our plan pretty much all along was to have a three-phase transition from ACE to Brightspace,” Miller said. “Phase one has been happening this semester. We’ve had four … entirely online classes that have been
being offered in Brightspace with several faculty members, and so it’s been a very small pilot. Next semester, we will have about 40 classes that will be being offered in Brightspace. And then by next fall, we anticipate that we will have the entire campus transitioned to Brightspace.” Online Program Director and Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing Diane Smith is one of the pilot professors using Brightspace this semester. Smith said that her students have adjusted to the new platform nicely. “It’s close enough to ACE that they can get in and they can maneuver
said. Peak Campus Management, who oversees maintenance and facilities for all apartment areas on campus, was involved with getting the cameras installed, according to Johnson. Johnson said the apartment community conducted weekly meetings and through the discussions, Peak Campus Management became
prior to the announcement of the cameras. It was very clear, according to Johnson, that the students wanted to have more security in the parking lot. “It’s a want and need from students, I’m glad we were able to meet that and that we can help them with any issues that arise,” Johnson said. Johnson said that UIndy Police is a huge partner in helping solve issues with theft. According to Johnson, the cameras cover the whole surface of the front lot and the backlot of GV. “If we see anything, we would then send that footage over to our campus police to add to their report … and they can look further into it,” Johnson s aid. Since the installation of the cameras, Johnson said, he has not personally heard of any issues or brought to his attention to warrant GV to look at the cameras. He said that it is hard to say right now if the cameras are being preventative or reducing crime, but by next semester there can be better judgment.
and manipulate and find things and those kinds of things, but it also has a fresh new look,” Smith said. “It is a little bit different. It's like comparing apples to oranges. It is not exact, but it’s different, and it’s fresh, and it’s new.” Although the overall feedback is positive, there have been some challenges faced by those testing o u t t h e l e a r n i n g m a n a ge m e n t sytstem. Smith said she was having some challenges with the new emailing format, as ACE has easy access to email chains of student communications. Brightspace, on the other hand, does
not seem to have those capabilities, making it hard to follow communication trails with students. Miller said that both faculty and staff seem to be pleased with Brightspace. Miller said that it is always challenging to change things. “It's always challenging to change things, so there’s always effort involved in changing from something t h a t yo u’re f a m i l i a r w i t h to something that’s new,” Miller said. “But we feel really, very convinced that this is a great move for our campus and that once we get through the change, people will be really happy with it.”
Greyhound Village ups parking security By Giselle Valentin
DISTRIBUTION MANAGER From stolen vehicles to cars being broken into, Greyhound Village has seen an increase in car thefts, according to University of Indianapolis Assistant Director of Residence Life Kyle Johnson. Surveillance cameras were installed to resolve the issue, according to Johnson. In an email sent to GV residents, Johnson said the cameras were set to be installed on Oct. 15 by BD Managed Services. However the camera installation was pushed back to the week of Oct. 19 due to weather conditions, according to Johnson. Johnson said that with cameras being installed, he hopes it can help the students with any car problems. “Most of the time, when someone sees a camera, they’re a little bit more or less likely to do something, but also if an issue were to arise, we can better help and support students,” Johnson

COVID-19 test should be required Safety of campus community dependent on students coming back next semester without virus By Noah Crenshaw EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
As students prepare to head home for Thanksgiving and winter break, the University of Indianapolis should strongly consider requiring everyone returning to campus in January — students, faculty and staff — to test negative for COVID-19 before they arrive on campus. This is imperative, now more than ever, as Indiana continues to break records for the number of newly reported coronavirus cases. The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting every aspect of our lives for more than seven months now and is likely to continue doing so into the winter months. There are already concerns that COVID-19 could kill more than 2,900 people a day in the U.S., according to a CNN article about the potential winter surge in cases. Health experts are predicting a surge in cases because of colder weather, flu season, reopened schools and “pandemic fatigue,” according to
the CNN article. On Oct. 29, Anthony Fauci, one of the top infectious disease doctors in the U.S., warned that we are not in a good place as winter approaches, according to an article from FOX 59. “We should have been way down in baseline and daily cases and we’re not,” Fauci said in the article. That same day, Indiana had another record-breaking day for newly reported COVID-19 cases, with 3,649 new cases reported, bringing the total number to at least 172,730, according to The Indianapolis Star. The state reported 33 new deaths that day, bringing the total number to 4,024. Hospitalizations also are the highest they have been since April, according to IndyStar. UIndy has acknowledged the surge in cases in Indiana. Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Neil Perdue said in an Oct. 23 email that the university is asking “all members of our community” to consider how their actions on- and off-campus can impact UIndy’s ability to “#protectthepack.” In another email on Oct. 29, Perdue said that UIndy’s ongoing testing, both symptomatic and surveillance-
Next semester's break days are not adequate By Hallie Gallinat
ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR University of Indianapolis students have not received a day off since the semester started, which is quite a long time. With no fall break or day off for Labor Day, the constant work has caused many to struggle. In contrast to this current semester, UIndy has added break days to the 2021 spring semester, according to the academic calendar. However, these break days seem random and are not giving students, faculty and staff the proper days off they deserve. According to the calendar, students, faculty and staff have five break days during the spring semester. These days are Thursday, Feb. 11, Monday, Feb. 22, Tuesday, March 16, Wednesday, March 17 and Friday, Apr. 30. The days are spread out to keep students on campus, ac c o rd i n g to an email sent Oct. 7 by University President Robert Manuel. The email also said that students are expected to remain on campus, which will be open, on these break days. On one hand, I am happy we are receiving some break days during the spring semester. I remember being shocked that we did not even have a day off for Labor Day this semester. This school year has been very stressful for me because of the pandemic, and trying to balance online schoolwork, newspaper responsibilities, time off to relax, friends and family life has been a struggle. A few days off here and there will be very beneficial to students’ mental health. However, the selected days off are confusing to me. For example, in March, we have a Tuesday and Wednesday off. While having these days off is great, they interrupt the work week. Professors will have to adjust their schedules to fit two random days off in the middle of a work week.

These days could have been used for class time, but instead, professors will have to adjust their schedules to have a random day off in the middle. According to Manuel’s email, these break days will give students a chance to destress and recharge. However, these days just seem like days without classes. I do not think they will be used for relaxing. My current schedule does not have any classes that meet on Thursdays, yet I still do schoolwork then. Students and professors will still have schoolwork to do on these days, even though they are break days. Again, I am grateful that we are having days off next semester, but when I have days off, I go to see my family. However, going home for a single day, or two days in the case of the March break days, is very inconvenient. So I most likely will stay on campus and spend my time doing what I usually do on weekends and weekdays: homework. I understand t h a t students are expected to stay on c a m p u s d u r i n g these break days to try to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but honestly, students are going to go places anyway. Because students mostly have online classes, there is no need to stay on campus for classes. According to Manuel, these break days are equivalent to a spring break but spread throughout the semester. But these random days that break up a work week are not the way to give students some rest. I would have our break days fall on Mondays or Fridays, adding onto students’ weekend. This pandemic has been stressful for everyone at UIndy. Students and faculty have had to adjust to online classes, and the entire university has had to adjust to an online format. We all have been adjusting throughout this semester to having no breaks, so I think these days off are well deserved. Graphic by Jazlyn Gomez

based, and contract tracing protocols have been instrumental in early identification of COVID-19 cases on campus. Despite the university’s weekly COVID-19 updates, UIndy still has not acknowledged what its future testing plans are for next semester, which is cause for concern. At the beginning of this semester, the university did not require a negative COVID-19 test before people
UIndy still has not acknowledged what its future testing plans are... returned to campus. The university should not make the same mistake next semester. In addition to the state’s numbers increasing, UIndy’s numbers also have crept up in the past few weeks. Since the beginning of October, the number of positive tests has increased. Ninety-five new positive tests were reported among on- and off-campus
students in October, compared to the 52 that were reported in September, according to UIndy’s COVID-19 dashboard. These numbers are only going to get worse as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise. Once students go home for winter break, they may not follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to help stop the spread of the virus, meaning that UIndy could have an outbreak at the beginning of next semester if the university does not require some sort of testing. While relying on students to be truthful is a nice thought, the safety of the campus community requires something more concrete. Other campuses already are planning to have students test negative before they return, including Butler University. UIndy may be a smaller school than some of these institutions, but that is no excuse. UIndy has options when it comes to requiring a negative test. The university could require students to test negative within 7 days before returning to campus. While there is still a chance
that someone could be exposed or test positive after, this still provides a safety net for the campus community. The Indiana State Department of Health offers free testing through its partners at numerous sites across the state. UIndy already offers asymptomatic surveillance testing through its partnership with Community Health Network, so the university could expand this by offering rapid testing for students upon arrival, regardless of whether they are symptomatic. The university did something similar at the beginning of the academic year, when it offered rapid testing for those who were symptomatic at the time they were moving in. This means that UIndy does have the capability to do this in some form before classes restart in January. By doing these things, the university might have a chance to prevent a winter outbreak of COVID-19 with students still on-campus, achieving some sense of normalcy. I can only hope that UIndy will heed this advice before it’s too late and becomes infeasible.
and dizziness, which typically are treatable by identifying the source of the pollution and eliminating it. Long-term effects may include diseases of the heart and/or lungs and certain cancers, according to the EPA website. While the short-term effects may seem livable, the long-term effects can be fatal. We need to make an effort to keep the air we breathe in our homes clean. According to the World Health Organization, household air pollution was “responsible for 3.8 million deaths, and 7.7% of the global mortality,” in 2016. I certainly do not want to see these numbers higher for 2020. Ensuring that you have clean air in your indoor environment is incredibly important. If you are unsure whether your home has issues with pollutants or fear you may be experiencing symptoms related to indoor air pollution, see a doctor or a local health department official to find out. If you want to make sure your home is pollution free, the EPA website suggests first identifying potential sources of pollution. To do so, see the preceding list. Look for signs that you potentially need to improve your h o m e ’ s air quality, or at the very least its ve n t i l a t i on , such as an abundance of condensation,
thick or stinky air, dirty ventilation equipment and mold. The EPA website also recommends that you measure your home’s radon levels and reduce the amount of energy needed to cool or heat your home. Of course, if you are living in an apartment or dorm, this may not be possible. According to that Oct. 5 New York Times article, the only meaningful way to improve air quality in your home, without altering any of your home’s infrastructure, is by using a HEPA air purifier and ensuring that it is adjusted to the appropriate square footage of your living quarters. It is also said in the article that plants can help, but should not be relied upon for truly clean air. The work they do is nowhere near the quality of the work done by an air purifier. In fact, the only real way for plants to help, according to Bryan E. Cummings & Michael S. Waring of the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, which was cited by the Times article, would require 10-1000 plants per square meter of indoor space. So while plants are helpful, they are much less helpful than a proper purifier. The air you breathe is perhaps the most valuable resource on the planet. It is quite literally life. If the air is dirty, that life can be harmed or taken away. You should take care of the air in your home, because that air is monitorable and adjustable and it is controlled by you. Clean your air.
Monitoring your air By Ethan Gerling ART DIRECTOR
“I count three scratches on that wall. Ok, on to the next one. One, two, three… Oh my god, I’m so bored?” With more and more reasons not to go outside, from pandemics to raging wildfires, people across the globe continue to self-isolate and quarantine. People have spent so much time inside, they’ve begun to run out of things to do. Some people, like me, have found themselves absent-mindedly counting scratches and dents on their walls. I promise I’m not the only one who has done this. With all of this time spent indoors, and approaching winter weather that will force people inside even more, it’s a great time to think about the air that we breathe. At least, that is according to The New York Times, which on Oct. 5 published an article discussing what products work best to maintain good indoor air quality and why. Inspired by the content of this article, I’d like to continue the conversation and tell you exactly why it is so important to maintain good indoor air quality. The Environmental Protection Agency describes on its website sources of indoor pollution and its effects. The EPA’s list of sources for indoor pollution is intimidatingly large: • Fuel-burning combustion appliances. • Tobacco products. • Building materials and furnishings such as deteriorated, asbestos-containing insulation, newly installed flooring, upholstery or carpet, and cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products. • Products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies. • Central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices. • Excess moisture. • Outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides and outdoor air pollution. Many variables contribute to how dangerous an indoor pollutant is. The EPA website says one of the significant factors is age, i.e. the older the source, the more likely it is to put pollutants into your environment. The consequences of living with these pollutants are even scarier. According to the EPA website, short-term effects may include irritation of the eyes, nose and throat as well as some fatigue, headaches

Professors publish firearm, suicide study Safe gun storage can decrease adolescent suicide rates By Nathan Herbst OPINION EDITOR
Husband and wife team Aaron Kivisto, University of Indianapolis assistant professor of clinical psychology, and Katie Kivisto, associate professor of clinical child psychology, co-authored and published a study examining the relationship between adolescent suicide rates and household gun ownership. The study had three other co-authors: Erica Gurnell, Peter Phalen and Bradley Ray.
A. KIVISTO According to the study’s analysis, household firearm ownership was found to increase the risk of adolescent suicide, but safe storage practices can decrease the chances of adolescents committing suicide with firearms. Gun locks specifically were identified as being one of the best methods for securely storing firearms. This study builds on past research done by Aaron linking household gun ownership rates with an increase in domestic firearm homicide incidents. The study examined suicides among adolescents from 1991 to 2017. More
than half of the deaths involved firearms. A 10% increase in state firearm ownership was shown to be associated with a 39.3% increase in firearm suicide, which contributed to a 6.8% increase in allcause adolescent suicide, according to the study. According to Aaron, this study adds to the growing body of research linking gun ownership as a risk factor for suicide, homicide and accidental firearm injuries. However, Aaron said there is not as much data on gun suicides for adolescents as for adults, and one of the goals of the study was to collect this information. According to the study, the association between firearm ownership and suicide was approximately two times stronger in adolescents than in adults. Legislation mandating locks or safe storage was associated with a 13.1% reduction in adolescent firearm suicide. The study also examined the effectiveness of various ways of preventing adolescent firearm suicide. Aaron said the method with the best outcome is practicing the safe and secure storage of firearms or using a gun lock. Katie said that this is effective because it reduces access to potential means of self-harm, something she said she is concerned about in her work as a clinical child psychologist. By making firearms harder to obtain, adolescents exhibiting suicidal tendencies are cut off from this suicidal risk factor, she said. “Adolescents tend to be more impulsive about suicide attempts. So if they have access to lethal means that they can easily use, that seems to really increase their risk for actually dying by suicide,” Katie said. “The locking up of firearms really reduces that impulsivity piece, because if you can’t access it quickly
and easily, then enough time passes that the urge maybe also passes.” According to Katie, some states actually mandate by law that firearms be sold with a gun lock. However, Katie said, most legislation fails to cover all situations in which firearms are transacted, and many other states have no such laws. Still, wherever gun locks are implemented, they noticeably decrease the risk of suicide. Katie said that gun locks, used appropriately, can save the lives of teenagers. “Across the board, we have a lot of

Real-life Santa's workshop
84-year-old retired police officer brings smiles with custom toys for children
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
By Mike Klingaman THE BALTIMORE SUN
BALTIMORE (TCA) — On crisp, quiet autumn evenings, Ron Clements heads out to the wood shop he built behind his home in Clarksville, Md. There, the 84-year-old hobbyist putters about, tinkering with projects, mindful of the screaming machine tools that can trim bone as easily as basswood. "My wife checks my hands every time I come in from the shop to make sure I have 10 fingers," says Clements. These days, the place resembles an assembly line in Santa's workshop as he makes toys for Christmas. As the holidays approach, Clements, a retired Montgomery County police officer, will deliver custom-made playthings to young patients at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, as well as to the Marine Corps' annual Toys For Tots program. This year's toys are Army jeeps. He carves the 3-inch jeeps from walnut boards. Copper tacks act as the headlights; the steering wheel, a 1/4-inch Phillips head wood screw. The wheels, he buys from a dealer in Maine. The toys are a success with kids and adults. At The Children's Inn at the NIH, which treats pediatric cancer and other serious health issues, patients are assigned their own mailboxes "where they can find a special treasure awaiting them every day," says Meghan Arbegast, the inn's volunteer engagement manager. "Ron's handmade wooden toys are a unique surprise that our residents can enjoy during their time at the inn. Small acts of kindness, like Ron's, bring smiles and moments of happiness to our families." Clements resolved to cheer those youngsters during a visit to the NIH, where he has donated whole blood and platelets for 45 years. "Lord knows what all those children are suffering from," he says. "By the time I finish the toys, I know the kids are going to like them. That's super duper." Clements takes pride in even the smallest projects and is a stickler for detail, those who know him say. "Ron is an excellent woodworker," says Charles "Bud" Nuessle, 91, of Ellicott

City, an acquaintance for 30 years. "One year, he made 6-inch battle tanks for Toys for Tots. Those M1 tanks were so accurate and good looking that, when he took them to (the donation center in Frederick), one of them wound up on the desk of the head of the Marine barracks at Fort Detrick." Clements and Nuessle belong to the Howard County Woodworkers Guild, a 245-member network of artisans who — before the pandemic — gathered regularly at the Florence Bain Senior Center in Columbia. There, in the building's well-stocked wood shop, the craftsmen and women have offered public demonstrations on how to make everything from bowls to kitchen cabinets. They've also taught homeowners how to repair wobbly tables and chairs. And, for years, they've created hundreds of gifts for Toys for Tots under Clements' supervision. Closed for months because of COVID-19, the Bain Center has forced hobbyists like Clements, who have wood shops of their own, to work from home. While he misses the fellowship, he keeps cranking out toys. "It's good exercise and a lot of fun," he says. "I love the challenge,
and I've always liked working with my hands. There's nothing like a hammer and saw." To that end, despite his age, he spent much of the summer replacing the weathered 8-by-16-foot deck on the back of his house. "It's fun to tear it apart and start all over," Clements says. "You feel good, and it saves money." His woodworking wizardr y has served friends and relatives as well. Twenty years ago, he took a chain saw to a tree stump in the yard of onetime Howard County Executive Charles Ecker and carved a turtle. Several homeowners' garages, decks and barns bear Clements' mark, says Nuessle, former president of the woodworkers guild. "Ron is always thinking of others," Nuessle says. "Nobody dislikes him. If you dislike Ron, something must be wrong with you." Clements' toys have run the gamut, from tanks to the tugboats he turned out last year — 7-inch vessels made of cherry, oak and pine. He gifted three tugboats to a neighbor's grandchildren, each of whom sent him thank-you cards scrawled in crayon. "Those notes are priceless," says
Clements, who hung them on the wall of his shop. But jeeps are his favorites to make, for good reason. As kids, Clements and his brother were messing around by their Christmas tree, plugging and unplugging the lights, when a spark from the socket set the whole thing on fire. "It was like, ka-BOOM! The tree went up fast and took the living room curtains, sofa and chairs with it, scaring the living daylights out of us," he says. "The fire department came, busted out a window and threw out the furniture. The only thing that survived the fire was a little toy jeep from World War II. I still have that jeep; it's a keepsake, my calling card, which is why I make them for kids." But for how much longer? "I've traced my ancestry back five generations, and no one has lived to be 100," Clements says. "I plan to be the first — and I'll make these toys 'til then." —— (c) 2020 The Baltimore Sun V isit The Baltimore S un at www.baltimoresun.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
Racist video sparks controversy By Scott Travis SUN SENTINEL
FORT LAUDERDALE,Fla.(TCA) — A student's repeated use of a racial slur on social media has ignited a debate at Florida Atlantic University about whether students have a right to racist speech. Some Black students called for student Ryan Richards, 19, to be expelled after he said the "n-word" in a video posted to social media last week. While FAU officials have condemned the comment, they haven't disciplined Richards, citing his First Amendment rights. The debate highlights the difficulty that public institutions face in combating bigotry while observing individual freedoms at a time when racial tension has intensified nationwide. FAU is one of many universities grappling with the question, which has become more difficult in recent months after the May killing of George Floyd
Nation and world news briefs
by a Minneapolis police officer fueled a national dialog about race. In the five-second video, Richards used the derogatory term five times, followed by, "Guess what? White people created it, b — _ ." He ended with another expletive. The video, originally posted to the social media site Snapchat, received wide attention after FAU's Black student newspaper, the Paradigm Press, posted the video and a chat about the video between Richards and another student. "I already talked to the dean. I'm good," Richards said, according to an Instagram chat posted on the Paradigm's website. "Freedom of speech is one Hell of a right." Richards could not be reached for comment, despite requests through FAU and a direct message to his Instagram account. During an appearance at an Oct. 30 online forum hosted by his FAU apartment complex, Innovation Village,

Richards apologized for the comments and also said he'd received death threats, said Paradigm Press Editor Kennedy McKinney, who attended the meeting. "He started to apologize, but then he tried to change the narrative," said McKinney, who is also president of the Black Student Union, an FAU student group. "He said the backlash he's receiving is 10 times worse than what Black students are dealing with, because he's getting threats and hate messages." Graduate student Abby Duncanson said she complained to FAU's dean of students, Aaron Hackman, after reading the racist comments on social media. "At the very least, he should be removed from campus. He should be expelled," Duncanson told The South Florida Sun Sentinel. "If someone uses that kind of language, holds those kind of beliefs, it makes it dangerous for other Black or brown students." FAU President John Kelly issued a statement on Nov. 3 condemning racism and pledging to continue efforts to create an inclusive atmosphere on campus. But the university didn't discipline Richards. "We understand that when statements like those reflected in the video circulate on social media, the harmful impact reaches far and wide," FAU spokesman Joshua Glanzer said in a statement to the Sun Sentinel. That's the right call, according to Adam B. Steinbaugh, a director with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a group that seeks to protect free speech on college campuses. "The First Amendment means that government officials can't make particular words unlawful to say, even if others find it deeply offensive," Steinbaugh said. "That doesn't shield the student from criticism or condemnation for his choices, but it does mean that the university can't punish him." M c K i n n e y, t h e e d i t o r o f the Paradigm, disagrees, saying a
university doesn't have to tolerate racist comments. "When it turns into hate speech and when it's inciting violence, that's where I would draw the line," she said. Other universities have dealt with similar issues. Last week, a female student at Florida International University in Miami danced suggestively while saying the "n-word." Mark Rosenberg, president of Florida International University in Miami, recorded a statement last week condemning the comments. "My expectation is that the student will reflect on the message, that the student will come to understand that the hate and ignorance expressed in the message undermine all that ought to bring us together," Rosenberg said. An FIU spokeswoman would not confirm the student's identity or say whether she was disciplined, citing student privacy laws. Several private schools, including Xavier University in Cincinnati and Marquette University in Milwaukee this year rescinded the admissions of students who made racist social media posts. Last year, Harvard University revoked the admission of a Parkland student after racist comments were r evealed. Private universities don't face the same First Amendment restrictions as taxpayer-funded institutions, experts say. And public universities may have leeway to reject students who make racist comments since admissions are often based on "subjective and holistic evaluations," Steinbaugh said. "But it may not be a good idea to rescind admission because of expression, especially when that expression is borne of ignorance and not malice," he said. "Universities are in the practice of educating people, which is the best way to address ignorance." ___ (c) 2020 Sun Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC
LA-area man who threatened mass shooting if Biden wins is held LOS ANGELES (TCA) — A Los Angeles area man who took to social media to threaten a mass shooting if Vice President Joe Biden wins the presidential election has been taken into custody, law enforcement sources confirmed to The Times. The man was handcuffed by members of a task force led by federal and local law enforcement agencies and detained inside a vehicle on Nov. 6. Investigators were searching his home for evidence of any means he has to carry out any form of attack, the sources said. "The FBI is aware of the reported threats, and we're working with our partners," FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said in a statement. Federal officials declined to comment further. Sources familiar with the investigation but not authorized to discuss it said investigators may use a mental health hold to detain the man. The suspect was detained by a team known as CT 6, a counterterrorism unit that chases potential domestic terror threat tips. The unit often discovers people connected to potential threats who need mental health treatment. In a video posted to Instagram, the man says, "If Biden gets in, I'm just going to do like a school shooter, just take out all these Democrats." — Los Angeles Times Cop suspended over Mexican and Trump-themed TikTok videos CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (TCA) — A Coral Springs police sergeant has been suspended without pay for two weeks after investigators said he posted two offensive TikTok videos, including one in which someone sings a song asking President Donald Trump to send Mexicans back to Mexico. Sgt. Gilbert Monzon must undergo 40 hours of racial bias and sensitivity training, according to documents released this week. Although the police chief recommended he be demoted to patrol officer effective January, he was spared that punishment by the city manager. Monzon, 36, is a 12-year veteran of the force who's among the officers lauded for helping injured victims to safety after the Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in 2018. He could not be reached for comment at the department on Nov. 7. Rod Skirvin, president of the Broward County Police Benevolent Association union, said the video, which included elements aired on the television show "South Park," was "sent from one officer to another and neither officer found it offensive." He called the investigation a "witch hunt" and said it was more about "internal politics within the department." He said Monzon is a "hero" with a tenured career. One of the videos features a robot-like voice that says "scanning for Mexicans," then stops at a Coral Springs police officer who appeared Hispanic. The robot voice then says, "We've got a Mexican." That officer,originally from Venezuela, laughed during the video. But a citizen who saw the TikTok video found it so offensive he reported it to the city's mayor and two commissioners, and then the citizen searched for other videos. In a second video, someone is heard singing the lyrics, " Donald Trump, send me home, back to where I belong, back to Mexico, to see my papa." The internal affairs investigation accused Monzon of unprofessionalism. Both videos "disparage the plight of Mexicans in the United States," according to the agency's internal affairs report. Investigators said the first video has audio tract that mocks border agents scanning for Mexicans. In the second video, "it's making light" of the President sending Mexicans back to Mexico. Monzon told investigators he intended for the videos to be satire and "to connect with the newer guys at work" by "trying to think outside the box." Monzon, who is Cuban, said he is "often referred to as the Mexican sergeant" and hadn't meant any offense and meant to also laugh at himself. "I cannot see that being offensive in any way," Monzon, who had tried to cover his police badge with a sticker shaped like a Band-Aid, told investigators. The videos, he said, "humanize the badge." The police department paperwork said regardless of intent, the videos do not reflect the standards of the police department. — Sun Sentinel ——— Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Men’s Basketball rejuvenated By Jacob Walton SPORTS EDITOR & PHOTO EDITOR
It was a heartbreaking end to the season for the University of Indianapolis Men’s Basketball team last spring when they found out about the cancellation of athletics due to COVID-19. Since then, the program has endured losing four of its starters due to graduation and transferring, an entirely new coaching staff, and a slew of new recruits. Now, with the news that they are getting a season despite the complications, it has made all the work since April meaningful, according to Head Men’s Basketball Coach Paul Corsaro. “To find out that we were playing basketball, that was really exciting for the student-athletes and the coaching staff,” Corsaro said. “This is what we’ve been working for for the last four or five months. So to get that good news is really
exciting and has really rejuvenated us and got us ready to go.” Of the 15-man roster, six are returners from last year’s squad, with only four of them seeing any action as redshirt senior guard Dee Montgomery and redshirt freshman forward Jesse Bingham were redshirted, according to UIndy Athletics. Of those four that saw playing time, the standout is senior guard Cory Miller Jr. who was fourth in points per game with 12 last season and ended up as GLVC All Defensive Team, according to UIndy Athletics. Corsaro said that both Miller and Montogomery are doing great jobs as leaders for the team and that he is ready to see Miller take that next step. According to Miller, the team is excited to compete. “[We’re a] tough, talented group of athletes and we’re coached really well. We’re all ready for the season,” Miller said. “...We’re all just itching to get back on the court and get to work. We don’t take any second for granted.”

The team was not able to meet in person for some time due to the pandemic. According to Corsaro, one of the biggest focuses during the offseason was trying to build chemistry within the team. “The first thing that we did was we focused on connection and relationship building, because to me, that’s even more important than the basketball, that in order to become a great team, we needed to become a family first,” Corsaro said. “And we spent time doing a lot of team building exercises over Zoom for the most part during the core part of this pandemic before we were able to get together, I think that enabled our players to get to know each other better.” Corsaro said that even as chemistry off the court builds, the struggle is going to be on the court with the new players and the new coaches. He said it is going to take time for the team to work well together and there are going to be issues in the beginning.
“I think that’s why I’m excited to actually start playing some games,” Corsaro said. “Because there’s going to be some growing pains that come along with that. We’re going to have to learn on the fly with some of that.” But the competitivness of the team is what is really helping it so far, according to Corsaro. He said that as a coaching staff, they are not having to force that competitive fire out of the players, that they are going hard in practice and it is putting the team in a position to be successful. “They come ready to compete every day, that every single drill we do, we have guys give their maximum effort,”Corsaro said. “And I think not having to coach competitive nature and be able to coach X’s and O’s is gonna yield, hopefully, a lot of wins and losses, because at the end of the day, it’s about how bad you want it and the effort that you put out there. So the fact that they have that inner drive and that comes from within, it’s not
manufactured by me or our staff. I think that’s going to put us in a good spot.” According to Corsaro, we are going to see a very tough and fast Hounds team this year. He said the goal is to be able to cover both ends of the floor well and to be physical and tough in every aspect of the game. Miller said that the team should be very good within the fast breaks. Miller said is excited to play the University of Southern Indiana as that is where former Head Coach Stan Gouard went. However, according to Corsaro, they are going to be taking it one game at a time. “I’m excited to play all the games. I don’t like to circle certain dates or eye one team or another, gotta take it one game at a time, as cliche as that sounds, but it’s the way it is,” Corsaro said. “So I’m really excited for Nov. 27, cause that’s our first game.” The Hounds will begin their season on Nov. 27 in Nicoson Hall versus the William Jewell College Cardinals.

Men’s and Women’s Soccer’s successful 2019 campaign By Kassandra Darnell STAFF WRITER
The University of Indianapolis men’s and women’s soccer teams had historic seasons in 2019.The women’s soccer team, led by Head Coach Holly Cox, had a short run in the GLVC tournament but made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2009, according to UIndy Athletics. The men’s soccer team, led by Head Coach John Higgins, had a good season that ended at the NCAA finals, according to UIndy Athletics. The current season is expected to begin in the spring, according to UIndy Athletics. Both teams kick off their seasons at home versus the McKendree University Bearcats on Feb. 26. Men’s soccer The men’s soccer team scored 55 goals last season and made it to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. They finished the season with a record of 166-1 in regular play and then 10-4-1 in conference, according to UIndy Athletics. “I thought I had better teams in my time at UIndy that hadn’t gone as far,” Higgins said. “But what we ended up doing is we ended up really kind of maximizing the strengths that we had within the team and we had the best leadership I’ve ever seen out of any of the teams I’ve ever coached in my time at UIndy.” According to Higgins, the most impactful player last season was senior
forward Javier Steinwasher, who led the team in assists with 19, and goals with 14, according to UIndy Athletics. Unfortunately, Steinwasher was injured midseason, putting the team at a great disadvantage until his return to the field, according to Higgins. He said Steinwasher was a leader both on and off the field. Senior midfielder Ben Rohder was another key player. Starting 22 games and scoring six goals last season, Rohder was a fantastic player that the team looked up to and was great to have in the locker room, according to Higgins. He said Steinwasher and Rohder’s graduations have been significant losses for the team this season. With the loss of eight seniors to graduation from last season’s team, Higgins said there has also been a loss in leadership. The players left on the team, as well as the newcomers, will have to step up and fill these open leadership roles in order to have a repeat of the 2019 season, he said. “In terms of the program this year, I don’t think we have that kind of standout special performer. I think we’ve got a really consistent group,” Higgins said. Women’s soccer The women’s soccer team scored a total of 33 goals throughout last season, making it through two rounds of the NCAA tournament, but lost in the third round against Grand Valley S tate Universit y, making it to the Sweet 16. The
Hounds finished the season with 15-5-1 record overall and a 11-3-1 record within conference play. Senior midfielder Taylor Peck was a key player last season, according to Cox. She earned the award of GLVC Offensive Player of the Year, scoring 9 goals last season, the highest on the team. According to Cox, Peck scored unbelievable goals for the team as well as working hard off-ball in her offensive duties. She will continue on the team this season as a senior. Sophomore Sophia Saucerman was an important team member as well. Saucerman played goalkeeper and earned the award of GLVC Freshman of the Year. Saucerman was a formidable player in the goal and made incredible saves that kept the women’s team in the tournaments for as long as they were, Cox said. The women’s team has lost six seniors this season, and while it will be difficult to replace the senior class, according to Cox, players will step into those leadership roles. She said she wants to make sure the players this season continue to be competitive despite the delayed season. “There were some games where we didn’t perform to the level that I know we can perform to,” Cox said. “Even in training sessions, you know, striving for consistency in training sessions, you’re then going to transfer that over on to the game field. So to me, that’s something we’ve really worked on this past spring and this fall season. We want consistency. We want it. We want quality.”

Veterans share their stories Visiting fellow, professor remember their years served in the United States military By Jazlyn Gomez & Anika Yoder STAFF WRITERS
To commemorate Veterans Day, The Reflector reached out to two faculty and staff members who were willing to share their stories. Former Indianapolis Mayor and University of Indianapolis Visiting Fellow Gregory Ballard said his career began in 1978, right after he had graduated from Indiana University. He said he served in Panama during 1989 but mainly served in the Gulf War, which took place from 1990-91. “I was primarily a logistician,” Ballard said. “Working those sorts of issues, I certainly did that during the Gulf War. That was a big deal at the beginning to do that, that was a major part of that war.” Ballard said that all of the opportunities that the Marine Corps gave him, alongside his work as a logistician, helped him with his further career as mayor. He said the one major thing he learned during his time as a Marine Corps officer was focus. “Despite all that is happening around you, what are you really trying to do right now? And I think that really helped out later on in life for me when I had to focus as strongly as I could,” Ballard said. Before joining the Marine Corps, Ballard said that he was a college student who didn’t have much structure or organization in his life. He said he wanted to find his way, and that is when he went to speak with the Armed Forces. He said that he never wanted to join the forces beforehand. Ballard had a completely different plan until he spoke with a Marine in Bloomington, Indiana, he said. “I stayed in there for two hours, never spoke with the other services. Really, that’s what happened,” Ballard said. “He told me to go get my last 30 hours, get that done and join as an officer. That’s what he told me to do and that’s what I did.” That two hour conversation completely changed his life, according to Ballard. He said he still remembers that exact moment that meant so much to him. “He [the Marine] was so proud of being a Marine, and it was really obvious,” Ballard said “For a guy who, again, was lacking structure or lacking any organization. Something to hang on to had meant something to me, it really meant something to me. He was so proud of what he was doing and he gave
me some terrific advice that time.” Ballard said he appreciates the fact that Veterans Day exists. He said he has gratitude for those who thank veterans and that he remembers the first time someone told him thanks for his service. “It was in the mid 1990s actually in Cape Gerard, Missouri. Believe it or not, it was in a steam room in a hotel in Cape Gerard, Missouri, because that’s when I was in the recruiting station. I was down there exercising, and the guy asked me what I did and I said, ‘I’m in the Marines’ and he goes, ‘Well, thank you for being in the Marines.’ I remember — I’m getting all choked up right now, because that was the first guy that said that to me.” Assistant Professor of Nursing Laura Darnell said she was stationed at the 445th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. According to Darnell, the flight nurses’ mission was to fly out as cargo in their assigned aircraft where the plane was stripped bare for medical equipment and for handling medical patients. “We would go over and the other crews would offload that equipment, and in return, reconfigure that aircraft and then we would bring medical patients
We would spend a great deal of time doing training missions together...” back stateside,” Darnell said. Darnell said she was sworn in in 1994 and left the Air Force Reserves in 2009. She said she joined because her father and grandfather were in the Air Force and Marines respectively, and she thought it would be something interesting to do. Furthermore, she wanted to get in aspects of both flying and nursing, she said. “I didn’t do active duty. I did reserves because I wanted to still be able to get my experience here stateside,” Darnell said. “Once a month we would fly on missions.” According to Darnell, it wasn’t unusual to find a woman in the Air Force in a nursing role, as it is predominantly a women’s field. She said she was trained to be a part of a team that cared for patients who are critically ill and bring them anywhere on

any type of aircraft. The aircraft she was on had a much larger capacity of patients because they did not necessarily care for the critically ill, she said. Team configurations consisted of a nurse, physician and generally a respiratory therapist, according to Darnell. This differed from a typical American aeromedical evacuation squadron, which consisted of two nurses and three technicians, she said. “We’re not trained to be combatants so our training is a little different from that aspect,” Darnell said. “We are, as part of the military, required to learn how to use a firearm and you have to be qualified in using that firearm. We also had to go through extensive training for the particular aircraft, so we knew how to get out of that aircraft.” Darnell said her first experience with teaching was in the Air Force as a flight nurse instructor. Her role as an instructor was to teach the nurses when they came back from flight school about C-141, the aircraft on which she flew. “We would spend a great deal of time doing training missions together and teaching them that role and that kind of stuff, and I really enjoyed it,” Darnell said.“That blossomed into what I was doing at the bedside in nursing and I started precepting new employees as well ….When it was time to think about getting my master’s degree, I was like ‘You know what, I think I want my master’s degree in nursing education.’ So that’s what I did and then I ended up here [at UIndy].” Darnell said she enjoyed when different evacuation squadrons all got together to compete in configuring a blank aircraft for patients in a scenario. “When we got done, they let us take sidewalk chalk to the sides of our aircraft because our aircrafts [were] painted in like a gray primer,” Darnell said. “So we sidewalk chalked our airplane with all kinds of fun cool stuff, so it was part of the fun we got to do right before we left.” Darnell said she is a lifetime member of the Reserve Officers Association. Darnell said she thinks women in the military are an important aspect of U.S. history and she encourages women to go into the Air Force. “The nursing students know if they have any desire to find out about military nursing, they can come and talk to me,” Darnell said. “[I] let them know things based on my experience, and I think it’s just a great way to expand your knowledge and see other things that are out there first and very versatile.”

suited to instruments that go directly into the mouth rather than to the side, so Justice had to create her own mask, she said. “I actually had to make my own mask, and it’s basically like a shower curtain over your face, so it goes way down to cover your flute as you put it under the mask and the flute itself also has a shield on it to also protect people around you when you’re playing,” Justice said. “That, for sure, is the biggest thing that has been a challenge.” The COVID-19 pandemic has also changed Justice’s experience in her practical experience for music therapy, Justice said.

MANAGING EDITOR & OPINION EDITOR Seventy hours. That is how long University of Indianapolis senior studio art major with a concentration in painting Leah Diekhoff spent painting a mural for Books & Brews South Indy. Owner and operator of Books & Brews South Indy Keith Fetchman said that he reached out to the Department of Art & Design last year to see if there were any students interested in painting a mural. Diekhoff said that her department recommended her. According to Diekhoff, she began talking with Books & Brews earlier in
For the most part, I had, almost entirely, creative freedom.” “She had an idea to have books like falling over on a bookshelf, then to do Jane Austen, which is a very wellknown individual who wrote ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ which also correlated with one of our menu items ‘Pickles and Prejudice’,” Fetchman said.
This is the first mural Diefhoff has ever done, she said, and it is the largest canvas she has ever worked on. “I think at the beginning I was intimidated because I haven’t done too many commissions,” Diekhoff said. “I’ve done a few but it’s like meeting with people and getting what they want, especially on something I’ve never done before. It was a little scary.” She said that once she started painting the mural that it was fine. According to Diekhof, she did not face many challenges other than facing her fear of heights by working on a ladder to reach the top parts of the mural. Fetchman said that Diekhoff may do some other work for Books & Brews in the future. The two have talked about painting a bike near the bike rack and some sort of fantasy mural on the inside
of the building, Diekhoff said. Diekhoff considers working with Books & Brews a good experience, and additionally she says it has inspired other businesses to contact her. Multiple people have come and asked for information, according to Diekhoff. “It started something because I’ve had one other person that came to me that was really interested, he’s a principal at a school nearby and now I’m working on a sketch for him,” Diekhoff said. “So, something has come of it.” Diekhoff said she has some small details to finish and the mural is expected to be completed soon. The book end of the mural can be seen heading north on Shelby Street at the Books & Brews South Indy location, right across from Greyhound Village.

BROWN therapy majors have had to start using teletherapy with their clients,according to Justice. “I am lucky that I’ve gotten to be inperson in a client’s home,” Justice said. “The company I’m working with has started to go back into the community. I know that a lot of my peers are dealing with the teletherapy aspect of it and it’s really hard to connect with your clients over a screen, especially kids. I can’t imagine doing it with my clients, who are four and eight and eleven. It’s just really hard to get their attention, connect with them, so as a music therapy major that’s probably been the biggest thing.”
