Earth Day 2011:Revisiting Fort Wayne’s

Crappy Problem

The Communicator | April 13, 2011

news2www.ipfwcommunicator.org

Many of us have seen the ominous looking signs on the river bank that warn us to not come in contact with the river water, but do you know why the river is so polluted? There are many ways that our rivers are currently being contaminated. Littering may be the first to come to mind, but that’s not all. Agricultural run-off from fertilizers and pesticides make their way into the water, and industrial wastes are “legally” dumped directly into the water. The big one in Fort Wayne, though, is raw sewage. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Fort Wayne has a poop problem. Each time we have a moderate to heavy rainfall, our sewers overflow into the river because we have an older storm drainage system. This is called Combined Sewer Overflow (CSOs). As our population grows and our wetlands disappear, the demand on this system continues to increase. Right now the Fort Wayne sewers are releasing over a billion gallons of raw sewage a year into our rivers, causing serious health issues such as E. coli. and damaging river ecosystems. Fort Wayne is working on the problem and has implemented a long-term plan to rebuild this antiquated system, but it won’t be fully realized until 2025. Until then, there are some things we can do to reduce the amount of sewage that might be released, and other ways we can reduce other types of water pollution. This task might seem daunting at times, but it’s important to note that little, everyday things matter. Here are a few ways to get started:

Reduce the amount of water you are adding to the sewer. Don’t keep the water running while you’re

brushing your teeth, take shorter showers, displace some of the water in your toilet tank with a bottle full of sand, a large stone or anything else that will sink, turn off the extra rinse option on your washing machine and only wash a load of dishes or laundry when you have

enough to do a full load. Don’t put anything down the drain or flushed down the toilet that you wouldn’t want in the river. If at all possible, put those things in the trash instead. Use rechargeable alkaline batteries. They can be charged 25 times. That means 25 batteries you wouldn’t have to buy and throw away. The mercury in old batteries will eventually leak out and find its way into the rivers. Re-use bags. Plastic or cloth bags can have many lives. There is no need to ask for new bags at the grocery when you have plenty lying around your home. They also make great trash bags and that means you save money because you don’t have to buy trash bags anymore. Use environmentally safe cleaning products. Be aware of car leaks. Fluids can run off into the storm sewers and pollute the rivers.Cluster your errands whenever possible. You will save gas and reduce your emissions.Carpool to classes with classmates. Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires should be inflated to the pressure recommended for your vehicle, found inside the door frame or in your owner’s manual. Tires can lose about a pound of

pressure in a month, so check the air pressure regularly and always before going on a long trip or carrying heavy loads. Under-inflated tires can also detract from handling, safety and durability. These “green” practices are nothing earth-shattering, yet they are good starting points. By reducing consumption,

reusing, recycling and being an informed consumer, we all can make a positive impact. Berkes-Adams is President of the IPFW Yoga Club and a volunteer for Save Maumee.

The road to economic recovery has hit yet another obstacle: rising gas prices. Even though companies all over America have stepped up hiring and made moves toward lowering the unemployment rate, those workers might have trouble getting to work when gas prices rise to one they can barely afford.

According to AAA’s daily fuel gauge survey, oil has topped $108 a barrel, the highest price since 2008, and regular unleaded gasoline now goes for an average $3.69 a gallon. The rising cost of oil can be attributed to the unrest in the Middle East and Japan being hit by one natural disaster after another. There is also a rising demand for energy resources from a strengthening American economy.

Whatever the reasons may be, Americans are feeling the strain as they have to cut back in other areas to accommodate a tight gas budget for their travel plans in their day-to-day lives. “[It’s] ridiculous. I have to drive less and be more conscious

of my gas budget,” freshman Abbey Crowell said.

This seems to be the general consensus because many Americans are not happy with having to sacrifice traveling to places they love for places they need to go, such as work or school. “[I’m not] able to go out as much as I want to or being able to go out of town for Ball State or Indiana University to see friends,” Crowell said. According to a poll last fall, 54 percent called gas prices a highly important issue to them personally, but 77 percent said that in the latest poll.

In addition to affecting Americans, the rising cost of oil is also affecting the economy in a negative way. According to an article by the Associated Press, “Unlike other kinds of consumer spending, gasoline purchases provide less benefit for the U.S. economy. About half the revenue flows to oil exporting countries like Saudi Arabia and Canada.”

President Obama recently spoke at a wind turbine plant outside

Philadelphia, PA., to workers about the high cost of gas. According to the Chicago Tribune, Obama’s solutions seem to be the same things he has been pushing for years now: boosting domestic oil production, cutting foreign oil imports and converting to cleaner energy sources.

While Obama has tried to deal with a high unemployment rate and has had to cope with rising conflict in the Middle East, Americans have made their opinions known about another important issue: the ever-rising cost of gasoline that affects their everyday lives.

Change is on its way once again. Soon, campus will

have many new benches. The benches are designed “to spruce up

IPFW and create a way to beautify campus,” David Dressler, Student Body Vice President of Legislation, said. He said there are plans to take the benches and put them on the main stretch of campus, by Walb and up to Rhinehart.

Walt Branson and the Chancellor’s Office will donate half the money, with IPSGA paying for the other half.

“It is a nice plan to work with Walt and the administration, along with IPFW’s Student Government Senate,” Dressler said. 16 to 20 benches are expected from this transaction.

Thomas Motter, Alicia Christman and Eugene Delaney are spearheading this effort. They are members of the Student Affairs Committee for IPSGA.

Dressler estimates the benches will “probably be done during the summer.” the cement for benches will have to be bidded out.

“If we got everything around in time, we are looking at three to five weeks of them making it [the benches],” he said, adding that they will “hopefully be in place by fall of the semester.”

Dressler expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating that it will be a good thing to bring students back with.

New Benches on Campus

Dr. Janet L. Bodia, director of the Department of Women’s Studies, pointedly reminded the audience to refrain from heckling or interrupt-ing during the debate. There was a palpable tension and excitement buzzing in the lecture hall as the two women attorneys took their respec-tive places behind the podiums on stage. Though this latest University Community Conversation (UC²) event was sponsored by the Dept. of Women’s Studies, the audience didn’t overwhelmingly consist of women - students, staff, black, white, male and female, young and old were seated by on another to hear the discussion which Bodia described as “one of the most con-tentious, most emotionally charged, and … largely under thought issues of our time.”

The topic: abortion.Kathryn Kolbert, the pro-choice

supporter, has been a long-time advocate of and essential part of protecting the Roe v. Wade rul-ing, including giving an argument before the Supreme Court in the

1992 case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey. On the other side of the dis-cussion was Mary Hallan-Fiorito, an attorney named one of Newsweek’s 15 “Women of the New Century” due to her work advocating the pro-life movement in the U.S.

The debate went smoothly, with both sides treating the other with respect, however there were several charged moments at which it was clear the audience shifted in their

seats or else a titter of mocking laughter rolled over the seats. For the most part, religion stayed out of the conversation. The two women primarily stuck to the facts and sta-tistics, going back-and-forth talking about human rights and the social

implications of restricting abortion. Audience members were offered the opportunity to write down or even tweet their questions which were presented to the speakers through

an onstage moderator.Kolbert’s argument was primar-

ily on behalf of keeping the gov-ernment away from decisions deal-ing with the bodies and lifestyles of women. Hallan-Fiorito firmly stated that all life needs to be protected regardless of race, gender, size or age. She claimed that the majority of the American public is pro-life and Roe v. Wade has been abused in its reasoning for terminating a fetus. Kolbert rebutted that no mat-ter if the majority is pro-life or not, the constitution promises the pro-tection of the freedoms of those in the minority. The ultimate and uncompromising question was that of whose rights trump the others: those of the mother or those of the unborn baby?

The common ground that the two women found was the need for a change in America’s attitude about sex and the need to increase sexual

education in order to lower the nation’s rate of unwanted pregnan-

cies. There was, of course, no win-ner of the debate due to its highly-controversial nature.

Look out for other UC² events on Facebook or on the IPFW Web site.

Sarah Hann

We’ve all been there: working for free or paying for credit hours to work for free.

Organizations offering these programs might say “it’s the economy … we wish we could pay you” or “it’s a great experience, but unfortunately our budget constraints …” etc. I’ve certainly done my time interning, and am lucky enough to say that more times than not I was compensated. No one ever forced me to do an unpaid internship, but my major and minor require it. Plus, there are some things you just can’t learn inside a classroom. The internships that did pay were much more rewarding, and not just monetarily. Payment creates more accountability for the intern and gives them more responsibility. I also got the best references and had the best relationships with my co-workers and supervisors from paid internships. My first internship in college was for the Henry for Mayor campaign. It

was originally unpaid, but I was given a small stipend at the very end that helped cover gas expenses and maybe about one of the credit hours. They asked me to be in one of their commercials and deliver this line:

“His community networking will help students like me.” In other words, Henry would establish a program in which businesses would mentor students. I thought the program sounded pretty cool - businesses voluntarily mentoring and networking with young people at no cost to the students. However, I am still yet to believe it.

So my proposal: set students up with paid internships with reputable organizations so they can get real experience. Maybe use the legacy fund to give endowments to these organizations to create mentorship programs so that interns can be paid and given accountability. In the long run, this could stop the brain drain and keep talent in.

It seems these days, e-books are everywhere. You can see ads for them on everything from subway walls to packaged lunch meat. Even the bookstore in the Indiana Memorial Union is promoting them as an alternative to paying the ridiculous prices for actual textbooks. I’m a big proponent of e-books, and I know the advantages to encouraging them on college campuses: Not printing all that paper helps the environment, carrying around a small e-reader instead of a backpack full of textbooks helps students not get back problems and setting the prices so low makes them much more affordable. Those are all great reasons for encouraging campus to go digital. Unfortunately, there are also some big reasons not to. In 2009, Amazon tested the Kindle DX at schools across the country. The results were grim. While students liked being able to carry everything on one small e-reader and they liked using the Kindle for pleasure reading, 75 percent of the test group at University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business wouldn’t recommend it to incoming students. At Princeton, another test school, researchers found students didn’t like the Kindle “Because it was difficult to take notes on the Kindle, because PDF documents could not be annotated or highlighted at all and because it was hard to look at more than one document at once.” They also didn’t like being unable to open multiple texts at one time.

All of those are valid points. It is harder to take in material when reading from a screen instead of from a printed page, and it can also be hard to absorb material or to go back and study later without the use of a highlighter.

E-books are definitely cheaper than hardcopy texts. And for college students, the price may outweigh other disadvantages. An Arizona State University professor whose two-semester class requires books that usually total to about $500 said students found that buying e-books instead of their dead tree counterparts saved them about 75 percent. Since college students often pay as much as $200 for a single textbook, having an option for that much savings might be worth the challenges. But there is another reason to worry about trusting fate to electronics: How far can you trust the online store? During the past two years, Amazon has become the reigning monarch of the e-book world. The Kindle is its biggest seller, and the online giant sells more e-books than printed books, though it does not release specific sales figures. Even though going digital seems like a great idea on the surface, the drawbacks make me wary of purchasing an e-reader and going to town. Future upgrades and different types of e-readers, or even tablets such as the iPad, might solve many of the difficulties students face. And history shows that enough pressure can be brought on the retailers to make them reverse some disastrous choices. However, the time when

e-books benefit more than students’ pocketbooks still seems to be a few years away.

INSIDIOUS

The movie “Insidious” opened April 1, and according to Merriam-Webster it was, in March, “the most looked-up word for the month.”

The dictionary defines insidious as “causing harm in a way that is gradual or not easily noticed.” It could be explained as horror movie's music growing louder and faster, causing viewers to feel frightened often without knowing why.

“Sucker Punch” is visually amazing and completely lacking in substance.

This seems to be the MO of all Zach Snyder films. Snyder is a brilliant filmmaker, there is no denying that; however, as great as the visuals in his films may be,

they consistently lack in story and character depth.

“Sucker Punch” is the tale of two halves. If you break it down into its different stories, the film can be fairly entertaining. However, the film gets convoluted and becomes hard to follow what exactly is taking place and when.

The movie follows Baby Doll (Emily Browning), as she tries to

escape the decrepit insane asylum she has been forced to live in by her stepfather. But, here is where things get confusing: the insane asylum doubles as a place for late night dancers. While trying to survive this home for the criminally insane, she meets

Rocket (Jena Malone) and a slew of other girls. Baby Doll also learns that through dance she can escape both the insane asylum and the dance club. When in her dream state she learns that there is a way out of both places but it will require her to find five objects. The film gets really cool in these dream sequences and takes on an almost video game feel,

however the other issues are clear and seriously effect the film.

At times, “Sucker Punch” is an adrenaline-filled action fantasy adventure, but the holes in the story are glaring. The plot gets confusing and the multitude of universes and dreams the characters live in just becomes difficult to follow. Also, while the acting is by no means bad, it also isn’t worth watching at full price.

John Hamm of “Mad Men” has the stand-out performance - unfortunately he only has 10 to 15 minutes of screen time. Snyder, the greatest asset of “Sucker Punch,” is also its biggest letdown.

Packs Effects, Lacks DepthSUCKER PUNCH:

This band really knows how to make music fit for the spring. The drums are driving and the guitars are choppy, the vocals go from chanting to soaring and you can‘t help but get captured by it. The lyrics are all about youthful memories - this would be hard for anyone not to enjoy.

Devin Middleton

This song switches from pulsating techno to ambient and chill. They consistently have somewhat of a tribal sound to them. Toward the end of the song, it has some chanting vocals. This song is pretty long due to all the switches of sound they go through, but it‘s interesting the whole way through.

It‘s a handclap beat with a sample from The Supremes. Chiddy and Mac Miller rap charismatic lyrics - it‘s very easy to get into. Nothing brilliant, but it‘s simple and fun.

More soul samples here. Cam and Vado rap about their relationship problems, in hilarious fashion as usual. This song should probably only be listened to by men - I would really be embarrassed to be the women they are talking about.

Garage rock is really making a comeback. If you enjoyed Scott Pilgrim, this will be right up your alley. It‘s pretty simple, straight to the point, fun music. The vocals rely on charm and a touch of angst, the riff is jamming and you can‘t resist the drums with that cowbell going off in the background. Of course, like garage rock songs, it‘s extremely short. Nonetheless, it does what it‘s supposed to.

A constant hi-hat and some lightly thumping piano keys make up for most of the song. Distorted vocals and a beautiful guitar melody make this quite a unique ballad. This reminds me a lot of The Postal Service.

Classic. I may be too young for this, but there‘s just something about the piano and his singing that pulls me in. Plus, it was on an episode of “Nip/Tuck,” and that show is famous for their great taste in music.

He may look funny in green, but ask Charl Schwartzel if he cares. The South African shot 14 under par over the weekend to capture his first Masters win. During a bizarre final round on Sunday, on the back nine, eight different players had at least a share of the lead. Literally, it was almost anybody’s game.

Schwartzel made some amazing shots early on his day that set the pace for an amazing run to the top of a crowded leader board. While Schwartzel was making his miraculous run, twenty-one year old Rory McIlroy, the youngest player in the field was en route to the biggest collapse in Masters

history. Really though, I would’ve done the same thing. McIlroy led the entire tournament until the first hole of the back nine where he triple bogeyed after hitting a tree twice. McIlroy never recovered.

If you actually watched the tournament, you couldn’t help but raise your eyebrows at the conversation between the commentators about the reign of Tiger and Lefty being over. Sure, these young guys are great. Jason Day and McIlroy had great days, and they will win their fair share of majors, but Tiger and Left are not done yet. After all, when I say Tiger and Lefty, you know who I’m talking about.
