IDs, exhilaration, grief

By Joanna Penn · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:30 p.m.

Her name was Susan. She was thin, pale and 3 months old. She was my livelihood and now she is gone. Susan was my fake ID. I gave her a name because she was a vital part of my life to me, almost a sister. Nearly one month ago she was taken -- kidnapped if you will -- and never to be seen again. So kids, I have decided to get over my grief, move on and not let Susan's death be in vain. I've decided to help others learn from my lesson. Susan would have wanted it that way.

Tour de chance

By Jordan DeLong · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:24 p.m.

So I took up bicycling. I think it had something to do with the boredom of sitting in an empty apartment with nothing to do but read. I resigned myself to exploring the southern fringes of rural Bloomington. I unlocked the '82 Schwinn Le Tour from the back fence and headed south. After fumbling awkwardly with my gears, I decided that it would be the hills, rather than traffic, that would be my end. I was already thick with sweat when I pedaled by Bachelor Middle School, a daunting building that is almost aggressive in design.

Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:22 p.m.

Inspiration can be defined much differently I was rather confused after reading "The State of the Game Address" by David Resnik (May 24). I believe that Resnik and myself have extremely differing opinions on what the word "inspiring" means. Resnik had some choice words to describe the recent play of Lakers guard Kobe Bryant: "…his ability to deliver this caliber game while dealing with a much-scrutinized court case in Colorado is astonishing….in fact, it is inspiring."

By Andrea Opperman · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:15 p.m.

The Bloomington Early Music Festival produces an opera each year. This year, they were given the opportunity to do something similar, but with a twist. While the performances are usually theatrical, this year the featured choir, vocalists and orchestra will perform without the on-stage action. The BLEMF will present composer Georg Frideric Handel's oratorio about the life of King Solomon, as featured in the Old Testament. The production will also hold concerts in Lafayette and Indianapolis, as well as Bloomington.

Stalking rival politically tacky

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, May 26,2004 9:15 p.m.

Politics is certainly not a clean game. Sometimes it requires getting your hands dirty. But even politics, amazingly enough, has its limitations. Justin Warfel, a campaign staffer for Illinois Republican Senate candidate Jack Ryan, has been given the assignment of following Ryan's Democratic opponent, state Sen. Barack Obama with a hand-held video camera, documenting his every public move.

'Miracle' shoots, scores on DVD

By Tony Sams · Wednesday, May 26,2004 6:18 p.m.

Come-from-behind, feel-good, larger-than-yourself stories -- at least the kind on display in "Miracle," the story of the "miracle on ice" 1980 U.S. hockey team which is new to DVD -- are something that will never go out of style in movies.
