·

Local attorney petitions to run for state governor

·

Roy Graham describes himself as optimistic and cheerful. And he hopes those traits will help his chances in the 2004 Indiana gubernatorial election -- a race which he's entered without any political experience or campaign funding to his credit. As an IU undergraduate in 1974, Graham studied music, later receiving a B.A. in criminal justice and a law degree.

Is new park all for show?

·

It resembles a Martian crater, but make no mistake about it. The muddy pit north of 17th street between Walnut Street and College Avenue is actually the future home of the Miller Showers Park. A project of the Bloomington parks and recreation department, the park will house 225 native trees and a significant amount of native and aquatic vegetation in order to improve storm water quality and drainage. A bike and pedestrian path will allow humans to enjoy the artificially natural ecosystem.

Student heralded as rare talent

·

Ever since DaXun Zhang fell victim to the sirens of western music, he hasn't had much opportunity to look back to his native China. Between playing the double bass in international competitions, releasing a CD and preparing for a career in uncharted territory, Zhang missed his annual trip across the ocean to visit his parents. Bassists have, more often than not, a background in an orchestra or another group: a rich undertone appreciated only by the discerning ear.

One particular Home Depot in Norfolk had a line of hundreds waiting for their chance to enter the store. With large rollers and shopping carts, people were allowed one-by-one through the doors with the disclaimer on a make-shift sign: "Only 1 Generator Per Customer, Please."

Optimism reigns in wake of damage

·

Irony dealt its heaviest hand when, on our way to North Carolina, I called the newsroom trying to ask for locations of Red Cross centers and dispatched emergency crews on the northeastern coast. While on the phone with my editor, the signal cut out as I tried to maneuver my car in the dark with Zach, our photographer, passed out in the passenger seat.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- IU alumni are no strangers to hurricanes, even those who were born and raised in Kokomo, Ind. Graduates Chris Carmichael, Hunter Gray and Shawn Sowers, now residents of Raleigh, N.C., sat through the winds of Hurricane Isabel on their front porch Thursday, enjoying the warm breezes. "It really wasn't a bad storm," Sowers said, noting Raleigh's central location on North Carolina's mainland. "It was kind of like your spring in Indiana. Kind of warm."
