Experts respond to blast

Speculations contin-ued to run wild Tues-day after the Boston Marathon bombing, but Ball State profes-sors said they stick to the facts when creat-ing an interpretation of Monday’s events and explaining how to move forward.

John Pichtel, director of Emergency Manage-ment and Homeland Security programs, said one of the first things to do is look at the explosive devices used.

“We can learn a great deal about the perpetrator by looking at the devices built,” he said.

According to The Associated Press, the explosives used in the blast was black powder, which Pichtel said is inexpensive and readily available from local firearm stores.

“Black powder-based bombs usually imply a low-budget operation and minimal training, carried out by perhaps one person or a small group. These devices are simple and inexpensive to construct and are easily hidden,” Pichtel said. “Latest reports state that pressure cookers were used to store the charge plus shrapnel including ball bearings and nails — similar devices have been used in Afghani-stan, India and Pakistan.”

He said emergency responders will be piecing to-gether bomb evidence in the coming days, as well as collecting photographs and security camera footage to create a more complete profile of who carried out the attack.

“If the bombs were placed by a so-called ‘lone wolf,’ that person will do all [he or she] can to avoid detec-tion and plan to commit a similar crime at another location,” Pichtel said. “... I must point out, there will always be exceptions to the data and ‘rules of en-gagement’ by terrorists. There are few black-and-white answers.”

Joseph Losco, Department of Political Science chair, said the political repercussions are going to differ based on the national identity of the perpetrator.

Student protests on one college cam-pus in Indiana leads Ball State students to question the efficiency of a walkout.

Indiana University students and fac-ulty staged a walkout Thursday and Fri-day, looking for an immediate lowering in tuition and to double the percentage of minority student enrollment, the In-diana Daily Student reported.

Nearly 250 students, faculty and staff took to the streets, organizing under the banner “IU on Strike.”

“The university has sort of turned into an institution based on producing workers and making profits, exclud-ing certain people and exploiting the

workers,” student Stephanie McGee, a participant in the strike, told the Indi-ana Daily Student.

Due to cuts in state funding, IU has seen a 3.5 percent increase in tuition charges. The 5-year average of tu-ition increases at Ball State is 4.1 per-cent annually.

Joan Todd, executive director of public relations at Ball State, said de-cisions of funding, and ultimately tu-ition cost, are based on the budget set by the Indiana senate. Tuition costs for the 2013-14 school year have not been calculated.

INDIANAPOLIS — Officials said Tuesday that police and other se-curity workers at upcoming events like the Indianapolis 500 may have a heightened state of awareness fol-lowing the explosions at the Boston Marathon, but odds are spectators won’t notice any difference.

Indianapolis’ public safety director Troy Riggs said most of the added security at the May 4 500 Mini-Mara-thon, which draws tens of thousands of racers and spectators, will be

behind the scenes. The only differ-ence people may notice is additional sweeps by police dogs, he said.

Riggs said officials met Tuesday with representatives for the Komen Race for the Cure to discuss security at this weekend’s event, which is ex-pected to attract more than 20,000 participants.

Officials will review what happened at Boston and make adjustments to their plans for Indianapolis if needed, he said.

Indiana Department of Homeland Security spokesman John Erickson said the agency has been in touch with organizers of some of the larger scale upcoming events, such as Thun-der Over Louisville and the Komen Race for the Cure, both Saturday.

B y ending 2012 with a 14-12 overall record and 5-7 conference record, the Ball State men’s volleyball team extended its fall from being one of the elite programs in the coun-try that began after the 2002 season.Ball State’s 2013 season appeared to be headed in the same direction when the leader

of Ball State’s mild offensive potency, senior outside attacker Larry Wrather, was given a medical redshirt after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff.

Outside of losing Wrather, the Cardi-nals look like the same team on paper.

After matches, trainers come hauling more bags of ice than they can carry, giving three alone to Hartley for both his knees and swinging shoulder, all Ball State looks like is a year older. But watching Hartley sky above the net for a kill and Rouse spend more time on the ground diving for balls than on his feet, Ball State looks like an entirely different team.

Ball State’s 2013 season appeared to be headed in the same direction when the leader of Ball State’s mild offensive potency, senior outside attacker Larry Wrather, was given a medical redshirt after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff.

Wrather led Ball State’s offense that floundered around the bottom of the MIVA, hitting .203 with 226 kills.

CONCERNS ABOUT

COVERAGE OF BOSTON BOMBINGS

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

After reading both the front page story and the letter from the editor in today’s April 16th issue of The Daily News, I am decidedly disappointed in how this story was handled. It is clear to me that there was no ill intention, and the letter from the editor gives me more cer-tainty that the utmost respect was given to the story, but I don’t appreciate the results. Having seen some footage of the incident a few hours before reading the front page story, I was frustrated with the tone used to describe the incident, and the very different account it portrayed. The language used strikes me as poetic, and unhelpful in understanding the scale and facts of the situa-tion. at first I wondered if this was intentional, and if the cre-ative narration of events was meant to garner a greater reac-tion out of readers. That sort of reporting is unwanted, and re-flects poorly on those involved on the whole news crew, which is why I wouldn’t suspect that this would be intentional. I give the benefit of the doubt that, of course, there was no inten-tion to treat the story with any-thing but respect. Still I cannot say I am not dissapointed by this approach. I would hope for and expect that the worst events are those treated with the most clinical perspective and informational approach. As the editor said “We want you to remember why it’s impor-tant to be informed.”, and that is exactly right, but the kind of language used in this story is not conducive to informing as much as it is enticing distress. I hope that in future stories of great weight such as this, the public will be given only facts, and left to feel that weight on those facts alone.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Bradford Barclay

My younger brother Jonny is notoriously late for every-thing because he sleeps more than anyone I know. When we were younger, he actu-ally used to fall asleep in the shower before school, causing our entire family to be late for the day’s activities. Monday was no exception.

He and his girlfriend planned on spending the entire day at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, cheering on people who had completed the pres-tigious race and taking photos of the event.

They were late because Jon-ny slept through his alarm.

When the bombs went off, Jonny and his girlfriend were on the subway, almost to the finish line. They were evacu-ated and forced to run back to their dorm, along with the streaming crowds of terrified spectators. It was the first time I’ve ever been incred-

ibly happy my brother has the sleeping habits of a hibernat-ing bear.

Despite being in constant contact with my brother all day and I knew he was safe, I couldn’t stop shaking. My two younger brothers are my best friends and I couldn’t imag-ine losing either one of them. Along with Jonny, I have an-other younger brother, Dana, and even though they are both more than 6 feet tall and I am 5-foot-2, they will always be my baby brothers.

Shortly after finding out my brother was safe, I was over-come by huge, grieving sobs. I couldn’t stop crying. The pain I was feeling wasn’t just for my brother — who I’m sure was terrified beyond belief — but for the community of Bos-ton, for the people who call Boston home.

And, that’s because Boston is my home. I haven’t spent a lot of

time there because I’m always here at school, but it’s where I belong because it’s where my family lives. Monday was an awful day for me because it is so frightening to see the places that my family and I frequently visit to be torn apart by de-struction and chaos. Knowing that it was impossible for me to be there or to get a hold of my family because there wasn’t cellphone reception made me feel so helpless and alone.

Watching footage of the bombings made me feel both numb and terrified at the same time. It was different than oth-er tragedies I’ve seen on tele-vision because I knew those places. I had experiences there. Those places were my home, the places where I was sup-posed to feel safe.

The bombings took place down the street from the restaurant my brothers and I always go to, where we split

pizzas and coffee and tell sto-ries from our childhood. They happened right next to the record store that the three of us searched all over Boston for, ecstatic when we finally found it, and on New Years Eve, Jonny and I walked right past the site of the bombings, tipsy of cheap wine and smok-ing celebratory cigars, laugh-ing because we were alive.

These are some of my favor-ite memories. But, in the span of a second, Bolyston Street was transformed into a place that will be remembered by fear instead of happiness and accomplishment.

Boston will always be my home, but Monday’s events have taught me that I won’t always necessarily be safe. In the wake of the tragedy, all I can do is constantly tell my family I love them and always be thankful that my brother slept through his alarm.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — The bombs that ripped through the Boston Marathon crowd appear to have been fashioned out of or-dinary kitchen pressure cook-ers, packed with nails and oth-er fiendishly lethal shrapnel, and hidden in duffel bags left on the ground, investigators and others close to the case said Tuesday.

President Barack Obama branded the attack an act of terrorism, whether carried out by a solo bomber or group, and the FBI vowed to “go to the ends of the Earth” to find out who did it.

Scores of victims remained in Boston hospitals, many with grievous injuries, a day after the twin explosions near the marathon’s finish line killed three people, wounded more than 170 and reawakened fears of terrorism. A 9-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy were among 17 victims listed in critical condition.

Officials found that the bombs consisted of explosives put in common 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one con-taining shards of metal and ball bearings, the other packed with nails, according to a per-son close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still going on. Both bombs were stuffed into duffel bags, the person said.

At a news conference, Rich-ard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, confirmed that investigators had found pieces of black nylon from a bag or backpack and frag-ments of BBs and nails, pos-sibly contained in a pressure cooker. He said the items were sent to the FBI for analysis at Quantico, Va.

Pressure-cooker explosives

have been used in interna-tional terrorism, and have been recommended for lone-wolf operatives by Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen. But infor-mation on how to make the bombs is readily found online, and U.S. officials said Ameri-cans should not rush to judg-ment in linking the attack to overseas terrorists.

DesLauriers said that there had been no claim of respon-sibility for the attack, and that the range of suspects and mo-tives “remains wide open.”

Throughout the day, he and other law enforcement au-thorities asked members of the public to come forward with any video or photos from the marathon or any-thing suspicious.

“Someone knows who did this,” the FBI agent said.

The bombs exploded 10 or more seconds apart, tearing off victims’ limbs and spatter-ing streets with blood, instant-ly turning the festive race into a hellish scene of confusion, horror and heroics.

The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston,

29-year-old Krystle Camp-bell of Medford, Mass., and a third victim, identified only as a graduate student at Bos-ton University.

Doctors who treated the wounded corroborated re-ports that the bombs were packed with shrapnel intend-ed to cause mayhem.

“We’ve removed BBs and we’ve removed nails from kids. One of the sickest things for me was just to see nails sticking out of a little girl’s body,” said Dr. David Mooney, director of the trauma center at Boston Children’s Hospital.

At Massachusetts General Hospital, all four amputations performed there were above the knee, with no hope of saving more of the legs, said Dr. George Velmahos, chief of trauma surgery.

“It wasn’t a hard decision to make,” he said. “We just com-pleted the ugly job that the bomb did.”

Obama plans to visit Boston on Thursday to attend an in-terfaith service in honor of the victims. He has traveled four times to cities reeling

from mass violence, most recently in December after the schoolhouse shooting in Newtown, Conn.

In the wake of the attack, se-curity was stepped up around the White House and across the country. Police massed at federal buildings and transit centers in the nation’s capital, critical response teams de-ployed in New York City, and security officers with bomb-sniffing dogs spread through Chicago’s Union Station.

Homeland Security Secre-tary Janet Napolitano urged Americans “to be vigilant and to listen to directions from state and local officials.” But she said there was no evidence the bombings were part of a wider plot.

Pressure-cooker explosives have been used in Afghani-stan, India, Nepal and Paki-stan, according to a July 2010 intelligence report by the FBI and the Homeland Security Department. One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cook-er, the report said.

Explosives contained shards of metal, nails, according to officials

MCT PHOTO Emergency personnel assist victims at the scene of a bomb blast during the Boston Marathon on Monday. As of Tuesday evening, authorities didn’t know who was responsible for the explosions.

Pressure cooker bombs suspected in Boston blast “If it’s foreign, I’m sure ques-

tions will be raised about adequate intelligence and security — domestic means questions [will be] raised about whether enough atten-tion has been paid to domestic terrorism,” Losco said.

Antigovernment “Patriot” groups reached an all-time high in 2012, according to a report released in March by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The report found there were 1,360 Patriot groups last year, 321 of which included militias.

Losco said if lawmakers dis-missed similar reports in the past, the Boston Marathon bombing will make them re-think or strengthen their stand on several current issues.

“Already the congressman

from New York talks about slowing down the immigra-tion bill — would have some negative implications there,” Losco said.

Losco said if this attack was domestic, it may trigger reac-tions concerning recent de-bates on gun legislation.

“[The Boston Marathon bombing] will intensify the feelings that are there, it’s not going to change people one di-rection or another,” he said.

He said for now the most anyone can do is wait for more facts and information to come out, mostly to avoid misinfor-mation or panic.

“The media has been way too far out ahead of this thing; we just don’t know,” Losco said. “The key thing is everyone needs to keep calm and not speculate until we get some definite proof.”

“As always, delivering a quality education, afford-ability, is our top priority,” Todd said. After the release of the state’s budget, which must happen by April 29, the Board of Trustees will release a budget, which happens in late May, Todd said.

Several Ball State students, however, said they wouldn’t participate in a walkout or protest, and don’t necessarily believe one would be effective.

“I can’t say I would walk out,” junior music performance major Jeff O’Rear said. “I don’t think it would do anything.”

Lucas Baughman, a fresh-man music media produc-tion major, said protesting or petitioning the university is irrelevant, and students need to focus on showing the benefits for students and the state of lower tuition.

Baughman said if IU is suc-cessful in eliciting change, or at least gaining community sup-port, they are representative of all Indiana college students.

“One person may not feel like they can make a change, but if one college convinces them to get more money it’s going to give people courage to look for more,” he said.

Along with a cut in tuition, IU students were protesting the low percentage of black stu-dents and faculty.

Currently, 4.1 percent of IU students are black, and the university has pledged to double that to at least 8 per-cent. Black students at Ball State make up 6 percent of the student population.

“An inclusive and welcoming environment is critical to the university achieving its mis-sion,” Todd said. “There are well established processes for investigating and resolving complaints should they arise.”

Senior psychology major Ra-maro Barnes said he doesn’t think a protest would help, but he sees a significant culture barrier at Ball State.

“It seems like there is an in-clusive environment, but there really aren’t that many black teachers,” he said.

“We have heightened our state of alert, which means we are looking at having some ad-ditional staffing this weekend so that we would be able to even more quickly respond if we needed to,” Erickson said.

Officials at various levels held meetings Tuesday to plan what to do if a major event in Indianapolis was targeted for violence. Some of the meet-ings were already scheduled; others were called in light of the weekend explosions.

There were reports that Bank-

ers Life Fieldhouse would move trash cans outside the arena during Indiana Pacers games and other events at the re-quest of the Homeland Security agency as a precaution follow-ing the events in Boston, but Fieldhouse officials couldn’t be reached for confirmation Tues-day. Erickson said any such step would be a local decision.

“It’s really up to the local agency of jurisdiction to make those decisions and make those requests,” Erickson said.

That doesn’t necessarily fol-low for the Indy 500, however; state police Sgt. Brian Olehy

said during a news conference that officers will conduct fre-quent security sweeps of gar-bage cans at the track during the May 26 race.

“There’s already heightened security at the events,” Olehy said.

Speedway spokesman Doug Boles said about 60 people met Tuesday to discuss how to respond to an incident like the Boston bombings. He said the exercise, which included pub-lic safety officials and repre-sentatives from hospitals and the National Weather Service, was one of dozens of public

safety meetings held dur-ing the months leading up to events at the track each year. The exercise included public safety officials and represen-tatives from hospitals and the National Weather Service.

Another exercise took place at Brownsburg, where the In-diana Department of Home-land Security said more than 30 first responders took part in an exercise training on how to react to an explosion like the one in Boston provided to firefighters, police officers and other emergency worker as part of year-round training.

WASHINGTON — An envelope addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi tested positive Tuesday for ricin, a potentially fatal poison, congressional offi-cials said, heightening concerns about terrorism a day after a bombing killed three and left more than 170 injured at the Boston Marathon.

One senator, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, said authorities have a suspect in the fast-mov-ing ricin case, but she did not say if an arrest had been made. She added the letter was from an individual who frequently writes lawmakers.

The FBI and U.S. Capitol Police are both investigating.

Terrance W. Gainer, the Sen-ate sergeant-at-arms, said in an emailed message to Sen-ate offices that the envelope to Wicker, a Republican, had no obviously suspicious outside markings, bore a postmark of Memphis, Tenn., and lacked a return address.

He added there was “no in-dication that there are other suspect mailings.” Yet he urged caution, and also said the Sen-ate off-site mail facility where the initial tests were performed on the letter will be closed for a few days while the investiga-tion continues.

The letter was discovered at a mail processing plant in Prince George’s County in suburban Maryland, according to Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

Wicker’s office issued a state-ment saying “any inquiries re-garding member security must be directed to the United States Capitol Police.”

Capitol Police had no immedi-

ate comment.But Majority Leader Harry

Reid told reporters of the letter, and other lawmakers said they had been provided information by the office of the Senate ser-geant-at-arms.

Milt Leitenberg, a Univer-sity of Maryland bioterrorism expert, said ricin is a poison derived from the same bean that makes castor oil. Accord-ing to a Homeland Security Department handbook, ricin is deadliest when inhaled. It is not contagious, but there is no antidote.

“Luckily, this was discovered at the processing center off premises,” Durbin said. He said all mail to senators is “roasted, toasted, sliced and opened” be-fore it ever gets to them.

One law enforcement official said evidence of ricin appeared on preliminary field tests of the letter, although such results are not deemed conclusive with-out further testing. The official spoke on condition of anonym-ity because the investigation remains active.

The discovery evoked mem-ories of the days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when mail laced with anthrax began appearing in post offices, newsrooms and congressional offices.

That included letters sent to Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., who was Senate majority leader, and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.

Overall, five people died and 17 others became ill. The FBI attributed the attack to a gov-ernment scientist who commit-ted suicide in 2008.

More immediately, though, the discovery came as law-makers were demanding an-swers to the attacks in Boston a day earlier.

There was no evidence of a connection between the bombings and the letter ad-dressed to Wicker.

Senator recieves letter containing poisonous powder

The Ball State Quidditch team returned Monday from its first experience at the Quidditch World Cup in Kissimmee Fla., with two wins and two losses.

The team’s Saturday started at 5:30 a.m. and had to be at the field by 7:30 a.m.

“It was really cool to just see all the different teams arriving and all of the camps getting set up and seeing all these teams from all over the country and even then teams from other countries there as well,” said Tyler Macy, a senior social work major and co-captain of the team.

The opening ceremony of the tournament included singing of the national an-thems of each country repre-sented by the teams.

Ball State’s team played its first of four matches soon af-ter against Tennessee Tech, whom they conquered.

They went on to beat QC Car-olinas and the Silver Phoenixes and then lost to Hofstra Univer-sity, earning them passage to

the second day of the tourna-ment and a spot against Louisi-ana State University.

“They were a good team and we knew they were a good team going into it. They were ranked higher than us and we actually lost that match in overtime by one goal,” Macy said.

The team entered overtime after senior film and television studies major Anthony Ashford made a magical play, caught the golden snitch and earned the team an additional 30 points, locking them in a tie with LSU that was as heated as the Gryf-findor-Slytherin rivalry.

Ashford was originally a back-up seeker and took the front after Macy rolled his an-kle while catching the snitch in the prior play.

“I was a little apprehensive about it because I knew how important of a game this was, but at the same time, I knew I had to catch that snitch oth-erwise we wouldn’t advance,” Ashford said.

The pressure stayed on Ashford as they went into overtime play, but after being beaten out from LSU’s beat-ers, he was unable to catch the snitch again.

“That was the absolute low-est feeling during the whole tournament,” Ashford said. “I

keep looking back on that one experience. Just that one in-stance getting beat could have changed the game. I know if I would have gotten close to that snitch, I would have caught it.”

The Ball State team ended up losing by 10 points, or a single quaffle goal, ending the game with a score of 80-90. Even so, not even a dementor could ruin the happiness and pride that the team felt after the game.

“It was kind of sad to lose in round one of bracket play, but everyone knew LSU was go-ing to be a really hard team to play and I think everyone is really happy with how we did because we played incredibly

well that game,” Macy said. Even though the team didn’t

leave with a win, they left with an experience that seemed more important than winning.

“Everyone was just meeting new people and making new friends and it was a lot of fun,” Macy said. “We all had our heads up and we all were proud of what we had accomplished.”

The lessons and networking will carry on for the team, Ash-ford said.

“Even though we lost, we learned so much from other teams and watching other people play,” Ashford said. “All this defeat is going to do is make us come back a whole lot stronger than before.”

Ball State students end competition with 10-point loss

It’s easier to advance for the next six months, and rela-tionships deepen. Changes require adaptations. Pay debt, and review insurance and investments. The focus shifts to home and family. Grow your health, love and community participation for increased satisfaction and happiness.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 -- There are some dangers in taking on more than you know how to handle, as well as some rewards. It could be fun. It requires a shift in thinking and creativ-ity. Avoid distractions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 -- Resist the temptation to spend. Concentrate on generating income, and avoid depleting reserves. Enjoy a hike or an excursion to the park, made better with a loved one. This time together is worth gold.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)Today is an 8 -- Your hotness is contagious. Don’t take yourself too seriously, and you’ll advance to the next level. A sense of humor is key. Take regular breaks to stay healthy. Give something away, or sell it.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Today is an 8 -- Grow your mind through meditation. New data threatens old assumptions. Call home if you run late. Don’t get a loved one stirred up. Clean up messes immediately. Have compassion for yourself and others.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Today is an 8 -- New responsibilities lead to changes at home. Save opinions and advice until solicited. Simplify matters, and reassess priorities. Clear out the superfluous. Get the family behind you by listening and maintaining flexibility.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8 -- Don’t waste a cent. A change in plans is required, as conditions are unstable. Don’t be stopped by past failures or take things personally. You can replace what you leave behind. Explore the unknown.Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7 -- Expect change on the financial front. The best things are still free. Stick to basics. Entertaining doesn’t have to be expensive ... it can be a collaborative effort. Transform an obligation into an opportunity.Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 9 -- Feelings run very deep. Adopting another perspective increases your au-thority. Learn from an adversary. Show you understand. Verify the bottom line. It’s an uncomfortably empowering phase. The competition is fierce, and you’re up to it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8 -- Make quiet inroads. Find out what’s really going on. Streamline your busi-ness procedures. Don’t leave before you’re sure the job is done right. Keep a loved one’s secret. New facts dispel old fears.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8 -- Gather information and schedule care-fully. Practice with your tools. Try not to provoke jealousies, and watch for hidden dangers.

Listen to all the considerations to get the whole story. You see what all the fuss is about. There’s a disagreement about priorities. Try to turn down the heat.

For Jon Lang, there isn’t a better time to be a brewer in Indianapolis.

Although the beer scene in Indy has boomed throughout the past 10 years, competition has hard-ly been fierce between Indy’s growing portfolio of breweries.

“If I need yeast, I call Liz over at Rock Bottom and borrow Rock Bottom strain. You don’t hear of any other industry doing that,” Lang said. “Flat12 and us go back and forth. Omar from Three Wise Men [Brewery] was here

last week buying some stuff.”Lang has been brewing in In-

dianapolis since 2001. He be-gan at Barley Island where he won three Great American Beer Festival awards, most notably a gold medal in the American brown category for a brew called Dirty Helen.

After leaving Barley, Lang opened Triton Brewing Co. in 2011 with Michael Deweese and David Waldman.

The brewery’s creed slapped across the top of their website reads, “Better Water, Better Beer,” and the reason why be-comes obvious when touring the brewing side.

The water used in each brew goes through a lengthy pro-cess to get it ready to be made into beer.

“You want to start with the best

base you can and then build it from there,” Lang said. “We want to start with the best water we can because Indiana water is so hard. We carbon filter it, we soften it and then we reverse os-mosis it.”

Each style of beer calls for a dif-ferent style of water. After filtra-tion, Triton does this by adding minerals to the water to mimic the water naturally found in places around the world.

“So if we’re brewing a Scottish beer, we’ve got to have a Scottish water,” Lang said. “The IPA is a California water.”

Since he opened up shop in their location on the base of Fort Benjamin Harrison on Indy’s northeast side, Lang’s team has seen great success. The com-pany has recently begun distri-bution in Ohio and sees further

expansion as a no-brainer.In addition to cranking out

crowd favorites, Lang said he enjoys playing with his beers to create different flavors.

“We take growlers and spice them up in different ways and doctor them up just to play with them,” Lang said. “Gingerbread Brown was born in a growler.”

Lang said Gingerbread Brown was an unexpected seasonal success for them. Rushing to get it completed for the late fall and winter months, the beer flew off the shelves last year.

“This year we did twice as much and blew through it,” he said.

Lang also uses his three-barrel brewing system to brew root beer for the tasting room, which he also keeps on tap at home for his kids.

“Just have to make sure they

grab the right tap,” Lang said.Lang is happy where he is to-

day. Looking forward, he said he wants politics and fierce competition to stay out of brewing in Indiana for as long

as he is a part of it.“I think it’s that we are so small

that we’re just trying to grow as a whole,” Lang said “If we start knocking each other out it’s not going to be good.”

Added minerals help recreate water found around the world

BETTER BEER STARTS IN THE WATER AT TRITON BREWING

DN PHOTO TYLER STEWARTJon Lang, one of Triton’s co-owners and head brewer, has spent the last year and a half enjoying complete creative control over the beers he makes. He founded Triton Brewing Co., after leaving his first full-time brewing job at Barley Island in Noblesville, Ind.

That number accounted for 20 percent of Ball State’s offense, and was the only player with more than 200 kills.

Without any significant ros-ter overturn, coach Joel Walton knew it would be a team effort to replace Wrather and get his team in a position to compete with the upper echelon MIVA.

“Over the fall we work on our passing, getting the ball to our setter, and giving him as many options as possible,” Walton said.

MIVA coaches voted the Car-dinals to finish fifth in the con-ference in the 2013 preseason poll. Even in January, Walton stressed the amount of parity and exuded an almost un-enti-tled sense of confidence.

“We’ve been a middle of the pack team for the past couple seasons, but after playing every-body in the preseason I think we stack up better than that,” Wal-ton said.

After winning the first eight games of the season, the Car-dinals were the last unbeaten team in Division I-II and were on the cusp of the team’s first national ranking in two years.

However, the first eight wins came against teams that scrounged together a 17-35 re-cord at that point in the season.

Once Ball State got into con-ference play, its artificial suc-cess was exposed as eight wins against lesser quality opponents.

The Cardinals got away with their plug and chug method of starting outside attackers and back row players against more feeble teams, but the method was struck down by solid, com-petitive teams. Seniors Greg Herceg and Tommy Rouse and juniors Matt Leske and Kevin Owens were main stays. But the other three starters, and the ro-tations after that were subject to change match-by-match.

Ball State dropped its next five matches and only man-aged to win two sets through the two-week losing streak.

Throughout the losing streak, the Cardinals seemed stagnant on offense, baffled on defense and complacent as

a whole. There were too many questions, and everyone was looking for answers.

“We have to find something ... Somebody needs to step up,” Heceg said after the loss to IPFW.

After Ball State was swept by Loyola for its fifth straight loss, the Cardinals returned to Muncie beleaguered and in an all-to familiar spot in the lower half of the MIVA standings.

This started a two-week break before Ball State’s next match, but it was not a moratorium in any sense.

While most Ball State students packed up and headed to sunny shores and drunken debauch-ery for Spring Break, the volley-ball team reinvented itself.

Senior Jamion Hartley, who has always shown flashes of brilliance but lacked consisten-cy, was inserted into the lineup in an effort for more offense.

It would seem that any en-deavor to help the team would be appreciated, but the addition of Hartley moved the one con-

stant offensive threat Ball State had, Herceg, to the other side of the court.

Herceg was third in the na-tion with 4.21 kills per set at the time, but graciously bounced to the other side of the court.

Sophomore Shane Witmer stepped in to take on the full-time role in the back row. Sud-denly the Cardinals were re-vamped and ready to start the second half of their season.

The rejuvenated Cardinals earned their first victory in more than a month after beating Sacred Heart in a clean sweep. The real test, though, lay in the match the next day against then-No. 10 Penn State Nitany Lions.

Ball State swept Penn State, the first

Ball State swept Penn State, the first win over a ranked team in a year. Suddenly another win-ning streak was started and the confidence was back.

“This is how we play,” Graham McIlvaine said. “This is how we know we can play every time we

step out onto the court.”Ball State began playing a

fever pitch, getting revenge against conference teams the team had lost to earlier in the season. The Cardinals vigor even garnered a crowd of 2,562 to watch it knock off then-No. 8 Ohio State in straight sets, and helped it earn a No. 15 ranking.

The wins kept coming as Ball State found itself with a 10-match winning streak going into the final weekend of the regular season.

The two teams vying for the top-seed in the MIVA Tourna-ment were set to come into to Worthen Arena, the same two teams that handled Ball State like a junior varsity team seven weeks ago.

Ball State exacted revenged, beating both then-No. 9 Lew-is and then-No. 11 Loyola in four sets.

Now as Ball State enters the MIVA Tournament as the third seed with first round home court advantage, the personnel

on the court has changed, but the roster really hasn’t.

Going into the conference tournament on its longest win-ning streak since 1982, Ball State isn’t sneaking up on any

body, but that’s OK with Walton.“You better be ready for us

because we’re ready for you,” Walton said. “We’re a team that nobody wants to run into right now.”
