IU outshoots IUPUI 32-2, wins 1-0

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 2:39 a.m.

Junior goaltender Jay Nolly posted consecutive on-the-road shutouts this weekend over Wisconsin and Northwestern. Nolly's efforts reeled him in Big Ten defensive player-of-the-week honors. But that's not his only catch. Nolly hails from Littleton, Colo., a town between the mountains full of streams where he learned the art of fly fishing. At IU, Nolly is a dedicated fisher and was a member of the 2001 Big Ten champion Bass Fishing Club. After the 3-0 shutout of the Badgers, the Hoosiers bussed down to Northwestern but made a quick stop on the way. As IU coach Jerry Yeagley directed the troops to the food court, Nolly landed his eyes on a gold mine -- a bass fishing store -- and decided to shop.

Wining & Dining

By Alex Pappas · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 2:09 a.m.

Just over 30 years ago, not a single winery existed in Indiana. Today, the state is home to 25 different wineries, three of which are located in or near Bloomington. The Oliver Winery, Butler Winery and Brown County Winery are all places where students can indulge in an unusual atmosphere of wine tasting and relaxation. Students are no strangers to Oliver Winery and its engaging gardens and picnic area. Located a few miles north of campus on Ind. 37, the winery has been attracting patrons both young and old since its opening in 1972. William Oliver, IU law professor, began making wine for his own pleasure in the early 1960s. His children and their neighborhood friends would stomp grapes in his basement to begin the process. Over the past three decades, the winery has become somewhat of a tradition for students in Bloomington.

Fall Colors

By Hannah Schroder · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 2:06 a.m.

As the weather gets colder, the green summer leaves that annually change to shades of red, yellow and orange are expected to be especially vivid this year due to the rainy weather in the past weeks, said Susan Douglas, an interpretive naturalist at Brown County State Park. In comparison with previous years, Douglas said viewers can expect to see an earlier change to brighter colors because of the large amount of rain that decreased the trees' access to sunlight. She said the next two weeks will be the best time for leaf viewing. In three to four weeks she predicts the trees will start losing their leaves. Douglas said early morning is the best time to view the leaves. "You can see the haze over the hills and it's just a really neat time," she said.
