Habitat sponsoring race

By Matt Mattucci · Thursday, March 25,2004 11:38 p.m.

Carrying a full backpack to multiple classes a day and taking a test may be manual labor for some of the IU population, but IU Habitat for Humanity members have a different definition. As part of the Magnificent 7 Road Race Series in Indiana, the IU chapter of Habitat for Humanity will hold a 5K run/walk race at noon Saturday in Lower Cascades Park. Simona Stoica, co-coordinator of the 5K, said she hopes the event will raise about $2,000 so the group may continue to build houses in underprivileged areas.

Life, liberty and abortion

By Jonathan Blanks and Jonathon Blanks · Thursday, March 25,2004 11:13 p.m.

In this age of political correctness where truths are obscured by words that mask their meaning, certain clarifying distinctions must be made. The most disturbing case in point is the abuse of the word "right" as it applies to civil liberties and privileges in today's society -- most notably to abortion.

Mexicans are people, too

By Cameron Thibos · Thursday, March 25,2004 11:12 p.m.

The spring breaks I've had in the past have always been relatively uneventful. They usually consisted of staying in Bloomington and sleeping. This year, I made slightly more interesting plans and joined the hordes of college kids bound for Mexico.

An American in Dublin

By Scott Gorsky and Scott J. Gorsky · Thursday, March 25,2004 11:11 p.m.

For almost 13 years now, I haven't observed daylight saving time. Since I was nine years old, I have neither sprung forward nor fallen back. Because of this, my internal clock has settled, like the contents of so many bags of Fritos during shipment, into an unshakable stasis.

Indianapolis' Eastgate Mall to close June 30

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, March 25,2004 12:33 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Eastgate Consumer Mall, an Indianapolis retail fixture for nearly 50 years, will close June 30. Mall tenants received notice of the closing this week in a letter from an attorney representing owner Haywood Whichard, The Indianapolis Star reported Wednesday. "We've seen it coming for a long time, but we didn't think it would come this quick and in this manner," said John Duncan, who works at Kinda Kountry, a craft and gift shop at the mall. Eastgate was built in 1957 as an open-air shopping center on what was then the city's outskirts and once boasted retailers such as Sears and JC Penney. But it fell victim to encroaching competition from newer malls and big-box retailers as the area developed. Eastgate was remodeled and reinvented as a discount mall more than 20 years ago, but business continued to slide throughout the 1990s. Whichard, a North Carolina investor who also owns Fort Wayne's mostly vacant Southtown Mall, bought Eastgate from Simon Property Group in 2002.

Around The State

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, March 25,2004 12:32 a.m.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. -- A body found by a LaPorte County judge has been identified as an Illinois man, Indiana State Police said. The body of Miguel Angel Ayala, 27, of Chicago Heights, Ill., was identified through fingerprints in a federal database, detective Dave Kirkham said Tuesday. Ayala's fingerprints were on record because of a drunk driving charge, he said. Investigators declined to comment on the cause of Ayala's death. LaPorte Superior Court Judge Walter Chapala found the body March 6 while walking in a State Department of Natural Resources fishing site along Trail Creek near the city about 30 miles west of South Bend. The body was wrapped in plastic and covered with yard debris and tree limbs about 6 feet off the edge of a road, police said. Ayala's body has been kept at a morgue in Fort Wayne since an autopsy. Family members are working with the LaPorte County coroner's office to return his remains to Illinois for burial, Kirkham said.
