WE'LL TELL YOU WHERE AND WHEN IT'S SCHEDULED TO PREMIER.

A FEDERAL PRISONER'S MOTHER SAYS HIS LIFE MAY BE AT RISK.

WHY THEY CLAIM A RARE BLOOD DISORDER IS GOING UNTREATED AT THE U.S.

PENITENTIARY IN TERRE HAUTE.

>>> AND A SMALL TOWN'S QUEST TO HONOR A FORGOTTEN ARTIST GETS A BOOST FROM I.U.

STUDENTS.

COMING UP, HOW THEIR RESEARCH COULD HELP ODON SECURE A LONG SOUGHT HISTORICAL MARKER.

WE'LL HAVE THOSE STORIES AND MORE COMING UP ON "INDIANA NEWSDESK."

"INDIANA NEWSDESK" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY: >>> WELCOME TO "INDIANA NEWSDESK."

I'M JOE HREN.

WELL, THE MOTHER OF A FEDERAL PRISONER IN INDIANA FEARS HER SON COULD GUY WITHOUT URGENT MEDICAL CARE.

AS WTIU'S GEORGE HALE REPORTS, STAFF AT THE U.S.

PENITENTIARY IN TERRE HAUTE STOPPED PROVIDING TREATMENT FOR THE PRISONER'S RARE BLOOD DISORDER EARLIER THIS YEAR.

>> DEMETRIUS MANDERFIELD HAS SICKLE BETA THALASSEMIA.

IT CAN BLOCK BLOOD VESSELS LEADING TO EXCRUCIATING PAIN, ORGAN DAMAGE AND A HIGH RISK OF STROKES AND SEIZURES.

>> HE'S HAD THAT SINCE HE'S BEEN BORN, FOUND OUT ABOUT SIX WEEKS INTO HIM BEING BORN THAT HE HAD IT.

HE HAS TO GET BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS EVERY THREE WEEKS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.

>> MANDERFIELD WAS RECEIVING THESE TRANSFUSIONS MONTHLY AT UNION HOSPITAL IN TERRE HAUTE, WHERE HE'S SERVING THE FINAL MONTHS OF A TEN-YEAR SENTENCE FOR SEX TRAFFICKING A MINOR.

UNTIL AN INCIDENT THAT LANDED HIM IN THE SO-CALLED SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT OR S.H.U.

WHERE INMATES ARE HELD IN NEAR SOLITARY CONFINEMENTS.

SUMNER SAYS SHE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE SPRING SAYING THE STAFF CUT OFF THE TRANSFUSIONS.

A MONTH LATER, HE HAD A SEIZURE.

>> HE SAID HE HAD A SEIZURE.

IT WAS, LIKE, PRETTY BAD AND HIS LETTER, BASICALLY, HE WAS TELLING US THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE AND THIS WAS IT, AND HE WANTED US TO KNOW THAT HE LOVED US.

>> ACCORDING TO MANDERFIELD AND HIS MOTHER, STAFF CUT OFF THE TRANSFUSIONS AND MOVED HIM TO THE S.H.U.

AFTER AN INCIDENT IN JANUARY INVOLVING A HOSPITAL STAFFER.

>> HE AND I MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE.

HE CALLED ME AND HE SAID, MOM, I MET THIS NICE GIRL UP AT THE HOSPITAL THAT I GO TO.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GET HER PHONE NUMBER.

AND IN MY MIND, OH, THAT'S SO CUTE.

I'M SO GLAD YOU FOUND SOMEONE AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

HE ASKED ME TO FIND HER ON FACEBOOK.

>> THAT CAUSED AN INTERNAL REVIEW, BY A SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE SUPERVISOR WHICH RESULTED IN THE EXTENSION OF MANDERFIELD'S SENTENCE.

IN A LETTER TO HIS FAMILY, HE WROTE THAT THE TRANSFUSIONS WERE ENDING AND HE WOULD REMAIN IN THE S.H.U.

>> THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD HIM.

THEY TOLD HIM, HE WILL BE THERE UNTIL HE GETS OUT.

>> A MONTH LATER, A FELLOW S.H.U.

INMATE FOUND MANDERFIELD HAVING A MEDICAL CRISIS NICE HE WAS ABLE TO GET HIM IN THE WHEELCHAIR AND HAUL HIM OFF TO THE LIEUTENANT'S OFFICE.

HE THINKS THIS IS THE END FOR HIM, HONESTLY.

>> STAFF TRANSPORTED HIM TO THE E.R.

AFTER FIRST RESPONDERS FOUND HE HAD DANGEROUSLY LOW BLOOD PRESSURE.

FURTHER TESTS AT THE HOSPITAL SHOWED LOW HEMOGLOBIN LEVELS.

STAFF REFUSED TO RESTART THE TRANSFUSIONS.

>> I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WHAT HE DID WAS OKAY BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS MEDICAL CARE.

I DON'T THINK THAT HE HAS TO GO THERE AND DIE BECAUSE HE DID SOMETHING WRONG.

>> WITH MORE ON THIS STORY, WE'RE JOINED BY REPORTER GEORGE HALE.

WE HEARD THE FAMILY'S SIDE OF THE STORY, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PRISON'S SIDE OF THE STORY.

>> YEAH.

SO I DID REACH OUT TO THE U.S.

PRISON BUREAU, AND I GOT A GENERIC RESPONSE.

BUT I DO HAVE CORRESPONDENCE WITH MANDERFIELD'S FAMILY, AND AN OFFICIAL SHARED WITH THEM A STATEMENT THAT THE BUREAU PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE, QUOTE, IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ACCEPTED COMMUNITY STANDARDS FOR A CORRECTIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND USES, QUOTE, LICENSED AND CREDENTIALED HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND AMBULATORY CARE UNITS WHICH COMMUNITY CONSULTANTS AND SPECIALISTS SUPPORT.

ADDITIONALLY, THEY SAY CARE IS AVAILABLE 24/7.

>> I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE MORE FORTHCOMING IN COURT FILINGS RELATED TO THIS SITUATION.

CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.

>> MM-HMM, YEAH.

SO MANDERFIELD'S FAMILY IS ATTEMPTING TO CONVINCE A FEDERAL JUDGE IN MICHIGAN WHICH IS WHERE HE WAS SENTENCED TO RELEASE HIM SO HE CAN RESUME THE TRANSFUSIONS OUTSIDE PRISON.

SO IN RESPONSE, THE BUREAU OFFICIALS TOLD THE JUDGE THAT HE WAS RECEIVING, AGAIN, QUOTE NECESSARY CARE AND THEY SAY THAT STOPPING THOSE TRANSFUSIONS DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACEBOOK INCIDENT.

BUT IN RECENT WEEKS THE JUDGE HAS RESPONDED WITH SOME SKEPTICISM, POINTING OUT DIFFERENT CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BUREAU'S FILINGS AND DEMANDING OR INFORMATION.

SHE ALSO SAYS MANDERFIELD NEEDS TO COMPLETE AN INTERNAL COMPLAINT PROCESS BEFORE SHE WILL CONSIDER RELEASING HIM.

>> SO THE JUDGE IS SORT OF IN OUR POSITION WHERE YOU ARE SEEING TWO SIDES THE STORY, MOTHER SAYING THE SON IS GOING TO DIE AND THE PRISON SAYING HE'S OKAY.

>> EXACTLY.

I'M NO EXPERT ON SICKLE CELL DISORDERS, I SPOKE TO ANDREW O'BRIEN, WHO IS AN HEMATOLOGIST AND CODIRECTOR OF THE I.U.

SICKLE CELL LIFESPAN DISEASE PROGRAM.

HE'S NOT CURRENTLY TREATING MANDERFIELD, TYPICALLY PATIENTS NEEDING THESE KIND OF EXCHANGE TRANSFUSIONS CANNOT WAIT VERY LONG.

>> RED BLOOD CELL EXCHANGES, FOR INSTANCE, WE TYPICALLY HAVE TO DO EVERY FOUR TO SIX WEEKS TO DO EFFECTIVE.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN DO ONCE AND THE PATIENT IS TREATED.

YOU HAVE TO DO IT CONSISTENTLY, OTHERWISE THE EFFECT IS LOST.

>> O'BRIEN AND OTHER EXPERTS SAY PEOPLE WITH A SEVERE CONDITION, THEY NEED TO BE WORKING WITH A TEAM OF EXPERTS AND SPECIALIZES IN THIS DISORDERS AND THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN A PRISON SETTING.

>> GEORGE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THERE'S MORE ONLINE.

YOU ARE WORKING ON A FEATURE ON RADIO AS WELL.

APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> CICADA CINEMA THE BLOOMINGTON POP-UP THEATER IS OPENING A PERMANENT LOCATION.

AS ETHAN SANDWEISS REPORTS, IT'S SLATED TO OPEN THIS SUMMER.

>> THIS LARGE EMPTY SPACE AT VARIOUS TIMES A CHURCH AND A FOOD BANK, IS GRADUALLY ASSUMING THE FORM OF A MOVIE THEATER.

CICADA CINEMA VOLUNTEERS OAR ERECTING NOW WALLS AND RAISING NEW SEATING.

>> WE HAD TO MOVE CHAIRS OUT OF HERE, CHAIRS BACK IN, SET UP SCAFFOLDING, IT'S BEEN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL WORK AND THERE'S A LOT MORE TO COME.

>> THEIR VISION IS NOT JUST A THEATER CAPABLE OF HIGH-QUALITY SCREENINGS BUT A COMMUNITY SPACE FOR LOVERS OF FILM ON THE NEAR WEST SIDE.

>> THE THEME, WE'RE USING FOR OUR DECORATION IS PEE WEE DECO TO CAPTURE THE FUN OF PEE WEE'S PLAY HOUSE.

>> THE NONPROFIT GROUP BEGAN SCREENING FILMS TEN YEARS AGO.

SINCE 2018, THE POP-UP SHOWS HAVE BEEN AT PARKS AND BARS.

>> WE KNEW WE WANTED TO GROW TO BE ABLE TO BRING MORE PROGRAMMING TO THE COMMUNITY, AND MORE CONSISTENT SCHEDULE, AND ALSO TO BE ABLE TO BRING MORE FAMILY MOVIES, ART HOUSE MOVIES TO THE BLOOMINGTON AUDIENCE.

>> WITH A MATCHING GRANT FROM THE INDIANA HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND A FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY, CICADA CINEMA SETTLED ON THE FRIENDLY BEAST CIDERY AND THE B-LINE TRAIL.

THE THEATER WILL SEAT 70 WHEN COMPLETED WITH CHAIRS AND FIXTURES SALVAGED FROM WOLF THEATER IN GREENSBURG.

THEY HOPE IT WILL ALLOW MORE OPTIONS FOR SCREEN TIMES AND FILMS.

>> WE'RE LOOKING TO MOVE FROM AROUND ONE OR TWO SCREENINGS A WEEK TO ABOUT SIX IS THE TARGET.

>> A LIGHT AND SOUND-CONTROLLED SPACE MEANS THE CINEMA CAN OFFER MATINEES FOR KIDS AND PRIVACY ALLOWS IT TO SCREEN LONGER AND MORE SERIOUS FILMS THAN IT COULD SHOW IN A BAR.

>> WE THINK THE QUALITY OF THE SCREENINGS, THE QUALITY OF OUR SOUND AND PROJECTION REALLY WILL BE ABLE TO DO JUSTICE TO THE ART ITSELF.

>> IT'S LARGELY DROPPING THE POP-UP MODEL BUT SOME THINGS WON'T CHANGE.

IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUTDOOR SCREENINGS WITH THE BLOOMINGTON PARKS DEPARTMENT AND OTHERS.

THEY GET THE FIRST LOOK INSIDE THE THEATER LATER ON THIS MONTH, AT AN OPEN HOUSE.

>> WE'RE NOT TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE.

IT'S NOVEL FOR THE COMMUNITY TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

>> FOR "INDIANA NEWSDESK," I'M ETHAN SANDWEISS.

>>> CAN'T WAIT TO SEE!

WE'RE JOINED BY AUBREY WRIGHT WITH MORE HEADLINES FROM AROUND THE STATE.

HELLO, AUBREY.

>> HI, JOE.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY'S COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES DEAN RICK VAN KOOTEN IS BEING REMOVED BY THE CAMPUS CHANCELLOR.

VAN KOOTEN SERVED AS DEAN FOR NEARLY SEVEN YEARS.

HE SAID IN AN EMAIL BY FACULTY IT WAS NOT A CHANGE I SOUGHT AND IT'S NOT EASY TO LEAVE WORK THAT'S BEEN SO MEANINGFUL TO ME.

HIS ROLE ENDS AUGUST 1st.

I.U.

SAYS A SEARCH FOR A PERMANENT DEAN WILL BEGIN IN THE FALL.

>>> THE MONROE COUNTY COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION HAS CLOSED ITS EARLY LEARNING CENTER AT BLOOMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL NORTH AND IS CONSOLIDATING SERVICES AT ITS SOUTH FACILITY.

OFFICIALS SAY THE MOVE WILL ALLOW THEM TO SERVE MORE CHILDREN AMID HIGH DEMAND AND STAFFING CHALLENGES.

THERE WILL BE FULLY STAFFED CLASSROOMS, PREVIOUSLY CLASSROOMS WERE NOT FULLY STAFFED WITH THREE ADULTS LIMITING ENROLLMENT.

>> DUE TO THE RESPONSE OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE NEED FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR INFANT AND TODDLER CARE AND JUST ENSURING THAT WE WERE USING OUR AVAILABLE RESOURCES AND AVAILABLE STAFF TO SERVE AS MANY INFANTS AND TODDLERS AS POSSIBLE.

>> DOWLING SAYS EIGHT INFANTS AND TEN TODDLERS, SOME OF WHICH HAD BEEN ON THE WAIT LIST FOR OVER A YEAR, WILL BE ABLE TO BE ENROLLED.

>> AND ANIMAL SANCTUARY IN MONROE COUNTY SAYS IT'S AT RISK OF BEING REGULATED OUT OF EXISTENCE.

WTIU'S EDDIE STEWART HAS MORE.

>> SHE'S A BIG BABY.

>> THIS IS THE COFOUNDER, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BEAVER BUTLER OF THE PIPSQUEAKERY, A WILDLIFE AND SMALL ANIMAL RESCUE THAT HAS TAKEN IN OVER 12,000 ANIMALS.

PROPOSED NEW COUNTY REGULATIONS ON RESCUES COULD END HER OPERATION.

THOSE INCLUDE A MINIMUM LOT SIZE, AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS.

SHE SAYS THAT WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR REHABBERS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT ACREAGE TO OPERATE.

>> ALL ANIMAL REHAB IN INDIANA IS TYPICALLY DONE OUT OF A HOME.

IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT ANY OTHER WAY BECAUSE YOU HAVE ANIMALS THAT NEED FED 24/7.

>> AFTER RECEIVING COMPLAINTS OF ANIMAL HOARDING IN 2025, THE MONROE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT DRAFTED A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COUNTY DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE THAT WOULD CREATE A SPECIFIC ZONING DISTRICT FOR ANIMAL REHABILITATION CENTERS.

IN A MONROE COUNTY ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING IN MAY, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SAID BECAUSE ANIMAL REHABILITATION IS NOT A LAND USE COVERED BY THE ORDINANCE, IT'S NOT PERMITTED WITHOUT AN AMENDMENT.

>> OTHERWISE, IF WE DIDN'T DO THAT, I THINK THE OPTION IS TO CEASE AND DESIST.

WE'RE TRYING TO WORK AND TAKE FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS ON WHAT IS REASONABLE.

>> HERNLEY WHO IS AN ATTORNEY WITH AN INACTIVE INDIANA LICENSE SAYS SHE BELIEVES THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS OVERSTEPPING AND ATTEMPTING TO REGULATE WILDLIFE REHABILITATION.

>> I DON'T THINK THIS IS A ZONING ISSUE.

I REALLY DON'T.

I THINK THAT THIS IS ALL ALREADY REGULATED BY ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS.

>> THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE RECEIVED OVER 120 EMAILS OBJECTING TO THE LANGUAGE AND THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE BEFORE THE MAY MEETING.

IF THEY PASS AS WRITTEN, THE PIPSQUEAKERY WILL RELOCATE OUTSIDE OF MONROE COUNTY AND STOP SERVING THE COUNTY ENTIRELY.

>> BASED ON HOW MANY ANIMALS WE GET FROM MONROE COUNTY EVERY YEAR, THAT WILL LEAVE THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS WITH LITERALLY NOWHERE TO GO, WHICH MEANS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE INTERACTING WITH RABIES VECTOR SPECIES.

>> THE MONROE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT DECLINED TO BE INTERVIEWED FOR THE STORY.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS NEXT SCHEDULED TO BE DISCUSSED IN A SEPTEMBER MEETING OF THE ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE.

FOR "INDIANA NEWSDESK," I'M EDDIE STEWART.

>>> QUAFF ON BREWERY COMPANY ANNOUNCED THAT THE BREWERY COMPANY IN NASHVILLE WILL CLOSE.

IT WILL TRANSITION TO SUN BREWERY.

IT WILL CONTINUE OPERATING AND DISTRIBUTING ITS PRODUCTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

PACKAGED BEER WILL COME IN CANS RATHER THAN GLASS BOTTLES.

>> IT'S BITTERSWEET TO MOVE ON FROM, YOU KNOW, THE HANDS-ON PRODUCTION, I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

IT WOULD BE PRETTY DISINGENUOUS TO PRETEND OTHERWISE, BUT WE ARE EXCITED.

>> QUAFF ON BEERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE AT BIG WOODS RESTAURANTS, HARD TRUTH DISTILLING COMPANY LOCATIONS AND THROUGH RETAIL DISTRIBUTION ACROSS INDIANA.

>>> INDIANA UNIVERSITY'S CAMP SOUL WILL CONCLUDE ON JUNETEENTH AT FRIDAY'S CELEBRATION AT SWITCHYARD PARK.

IT'S A SIX-DAY PRECOLLEGE MUSIC CAMP AND BEGAN ON SUNDAY.

IT BRINGS 25 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO STUDY AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSICAL TRADITIONS.

>> I'VE LEARNED THAT MUSIC CONNECTS ALL PEOPLE AND IT'S, LIKE, OUR ONE, I GUESS, COMMONALTY AS PEOPLE, AS A WHOLE, SPECIES.

>>> AND JOE, CAMP DIRECTORS SAY THIS YEAR'S FINAL PERFORMANCE WAS INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED AROUND THEMES OF JUNETEENTH AND THE BLACK EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA.

>> SO MANY THINGS GOING ON THIS WEEKEND, COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENTS, CHECK IT OUT ONLINE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, AUBREY.

>>> COMING UP NEXT ON "INDIANA NEWSDESK," A SMALL TOWN'S QUEST TO HONOR A FORGOTTEN ARTIST GETS A BOOST FROM I. U. STUDENTS.

COMING UP, HOW THEIR RESEARCH COULD HELP ODON SECURE A LONG SOUGHT HISTORICAL MARKER.

AND WE VISIT WITH I.U.

SCIENTISTS WHO HAVE CRAFTED A 1976ALE TO COMMEMORATE THE COUNTRY'S 250th BIRTHDAY.

THESE STORIES AND MORE RIGHT HERE ON "INDIANA NEWSDESK."

>>> WELCOME BACK TO "INDIANA NEWSDESK."

THE RECOVERY OF LOST RECORDS ON THE SCULPTURE OF A CENTURY'S OLD STATUE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, IN ODON, HAS CONNECTED TO IRA A. CORRELL.

HE GIFTED THIS STATUTE TO ODON IN 1922.

>> HE WAS A VERY, VERY TALENTED MAN.

AND AT ONE POINT, HE MADE THE DECISION IN 1921 THAT HE WANTED TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY, THAT HE WAS BORN IN.

AND HE DECIDED THAT HE WOULD GIVE THE -- GIVE US A SCULPTING.

AND THEN HE DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE OF AN OLD SETTLER.

AND HE PAID TRIBUTE TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

>> FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE STATUE'S DEDICATION IN 2022, THE CITY OF ODON APPLIED FOR AN HISTORICAL MARKER.

IT WAS DENIED THAT YEAR AND AGAIN IN 2023.

ROACH SAYS MORE INFORMATION WAS NEEDED ON CORRELL RATHER THAN LINCOLN'S SIGNIFICANCE.

>> THIS WAS A LECTURE HERE.

AND AT THAT TIME, THEY WERE PARTNERING WITH I.U.

AND THE CENTER FOR RURAL ENGAGEMENT AND THEY HAD ASKED US WHAT THERE WAS THAT THEY COULD DO FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND WHEN I FILLED OUT THE QUESTIONNAIRE, I SAID, YOU CAN HELP US GET THIS HISTORICAL MARKER.

AND IT JUST ABSOLUTELY BLOSSOMED FROM THERE.

>> I.U.

'S CENTER FOR RURAL ENGAGEMENT CONTACTED I.U.

ART HISTORY ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MELODY DEUSNER TO SEE IF SHE HAD A CLASS THAT WOULD SEE CORRELL'S HISTORY.

>> IN FALL OF 2025, I WAS TEACHING AN UPPER LEVEL ART HISTORY CLASS, ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE PREREQUISITES.

WE HAVE STUDENTS OF ALL LEVELS IN OUR ART HISTORY COURSES.

BUT THIS WAS A COURSE OF ABOUT 20 UNDERGRADS AND FIVE GRADUATE STUDENTS, AN INTENSIVE WRITING COURSE ON AMERICAN ART FROM 1865 TO 1945.

SO 1922 FIT RIGHT IN THERE.

>> THE STUDENTS STARTED FROM SCRATCH.

THERE WAS NO SCHOLARLY RESEARCH DONE ON CORRELL, THEY VISITED THE STATUE AND WENT TO THE DAVIESS COUNTY MUSEUM TO SEE CORRELL'S DRAWING.

>> HE LEFT A STUDIO IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, A HOUSE AND STUDIO FULL OF ART, LETTERS, JOURNALS, AND DRAWINGS, AND THESE WERE PREPARATORY DESIGNS THAT HE MADE AS PART OF HIS PROCESS.

BUT MOST OF THEM WERE NOT LABELED OR DATED.

>> IT WAS COMMON FOR INDIANA LIMESTONE SCULPTORS LIKE CORRELL TO NOT SIGN THEIR WORK.

THE LINCOLN STATUE WAS ONE OF THE FEW SIGNED.

THE STUDENTS CONTINUED THEIR RESEARCH IN HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS AND ARCHIVED INTERVIEWS WITH CORRELL.

>> ONCE WE HAD HIS NAME AND WE KNEW WHAT NEWSPAPERS TO LOOK IN, THERE WERE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF HIS, FROM THE 1890s ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH -- HE WAS STILL ACTIVE WHEN HE DIED IN THE 1960s, OF NEWSPAPER ARTICLES THAT WERE DOCUMENTING WHERE HE WAS SENDING WORK.

>> THEY WERE ABLE TO MATCH SOME DRAWINGS TO WORK SUCH AS SCULPTURE ON THE MASONIC TEMPLE IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

DURING THEIR RESEARCH, THE STUDENT FOUND CORRELL'S GREAT, GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER DEBBIE PIKE.

SHE SAID SHE'S NOPE THAT SHE WAS RELATED TO CORRELL, MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER, DROVE ME AND MY BROTHERS TO SEE THE LINCOLN STATUE WHEN I WAS SINGLE DIGIT AGE.

>> BIKE HAS BEEN -- PIKE HAS BEEN GIVEN HER OWN RESEARCH ON CORELL.

SHE'S TRAVELED TO SEVERAL STATES MATCHING THE DRAWINGS TO EXISTING SCULPTURES.

>> I JUST STARTED COMPILING EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN THERE, AND INCLUDED IN THAT WAS THIS JOURNAL THAT WAS FROM THE 1930s AND '40s, AND I FOUND PAGES THAT IRA HAD STARTED LISTING AS SOME OF HIS WORKS AND SO I JUST STARTED MAKING NEW LISTS.

SO THIS WAS AN ENTRY FROM 1949.

AND SO I BASICALLY READ THIS AND STARTED LISTING MORE ITEMS AND STARTED PLANNING TRIPS.

>> PIKE HAS RECENTLY FOUND TREE STUMP HEADSTONES IN INDIANA BY CORRELL AND A CRUCIFIX IN CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS.

PIKE HAS A SPREADSHEET CONTAINING OVER 90 ITEMS.

SHE SAYS CORRELL WORKED IN ALL 48 STATES AND LIKELY HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF HIS PIECES EXIST.

>> HE WAS BORN IN 1873.

I HAVE A LAMB IN MY POSSESSION THAT HE CARVED AT THE AGE OF 9.

SO HE WAS CARVING FROM 1882 IN SOME FASHION, UNTIL HE DIED IN 1964.

AND SO THAT'S A LONG, VAST HISTORY.

>> IN APRIL, THE STUDENTS PRESENTED THEIR RESEARCH ON CORRELL IN ODON AND BROUGHT TOGETHER SEVERAL RELATIVES OF CORRELL.

>> I DID MEET ABOUT FIVE NEW COUSINS THAT DAY THAT I NEVER MET BEFORE.

IT WAS AWESOME.

>> THE GOAL IS TO GET THE HISTORICAL MARKER BY AUGUST, IN TIME FOR THE ODON OLD SETTLERS.

AND TO ADD FOUR EDUCATIONAL PANELS AROUND THE STATUE.

>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE DID AND LEARNED VERY, VERY YOUNG AGE.

AND I THINK THAT IT'S PROOF THAT BASICALLY THESE THINGS NEED TO BE MAINTAINED AND KEPT AND HISTORY KEPT OF ALL OF THEM.

>> FOR "INDIANA NEWSDESK," I'M NATALIE FITZGIBBONS.

>>> AND I.U.

SCIENTISTS HAVE CRAFTED A 1776 INSPIRED BEER TO CELEBRATE AMERICA'S 250th NEXT MONTH.

OUR ISABELLA VESPERINI VISITED THEIR LAB TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS SPECIAL BREW.

>> SINCE JANUARY, I.U.

SCIENTISTS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL BREWERIES TO CREATE A BEER CALLED DECLARATION AFFIRMATION, BASED ON AN OLD ENGLISH MILD ALE.

>> WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS 1776 INSPIRED AND THEY WERE BRITISH COLONIES.

LOTS OF RECIPES WERE BRITISH-TYPE BEER.

THEY USED YEAST FROM TREE BARK, WHICH CREATED A BANANA CLOVE FLAVOR.

>> YOU COULDN'T GET EVERYTHING IN AMERICA THAT YOU COULD GET IN EUROPE.

FOR INSTANCE, LOTS OF THE SUGAR, WOULD YOU GET FROM BARLEY AND MALTED BARLEY WAS REPLACED WITH MOLASSES.

>> TO STAY TRUE TO THAT TIME, THEY COLLECTED YEAST FROM 250-YEAR-OLD TREES SUCH AS THE BIG BURR OAK TREE BY THE INDIANA MEMORIAL UNION.

>> FINDING OLD ENOUGH TREES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND IN THE FOUNDING TIMES HERE IS PRETTY DIFFICULT, AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MIDWEST, AND ALL THE AGRICULTURE TOOK OVER.

BUT MAKING IT FROM YEAST THAT WE FOUND ON A TREE AND IN THE STYLE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE FERMENTED WITH THE INGREDIENTS THEY WOULD HAVE USED I THINK IS AS CLOSE TO THE OPEN AIR FERMENTATION THEY WOULD IS ENJOYED.

>> IT'S LIKELY THE PEOPLE IN HAD 1776 WERE DRINKING THE BEER LIKE THE ONE THEY CREATED.

IT WAS TYPICAL FOR THE ALCOHOL CONTENT TO BE AROUND 5%, JUST LIKE THE BEER THEY PRODUCED.

>> BEER AND ALCOHOL AND THINGS LIKE THAT WERE CLEAN WATER, AND SO PEOPLE DRANK WHAT WERE KNOWN AS SMALL BEERS WHICH WERE VERY LOW ALCOHOL AND THIS WAS EVERYBODY, CHILDREN TO THE ELDERLY, AND IT WAS JUST A WAY TO BASICALLY KEEP HYDRATED AND HAVE CLEAN DRINKING WATER.

>> GRAY TRIED THE BEER AFTER IT FERMENTED AFTER A FEW WEEKS.

>> IT'S LIKE AN 18th CENTURY CREAM ALE.

IT'S HISTORIC AS POSSIBLE TO THE RECIPE.

I DON'T THINK I'VE HAD ANYTHING LIKE IT.

IT'S NOT BITTER.

IT HAS A SMOKY AROMA BUT ALSO A LITTLE FRUITY.

>> BACHMAN HOPES THAT WHEN PEOPLE DRINK THIS BEER, THEY THINK ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE TO LIVE DURING THE COLONIAL ERA.

>> YOU COULDN'T GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND GRAB A SIX-PACK OF DRAGONFLY, RIGHT?

LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE HOME BREWING THEMSELVES.

MARTHA WASHINGTON WAS A HOME BREWER, AND GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS A HOME BREWER.

EVERYONE HAD THEIR OWN LOCAL FLAVOR.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.

THIS IS ULTRA LOCAL.

>> FOR "INDIANA NEWSDESK," I'M ISABELLA VESPERINI.

>>> THAT'S THE END OF THIS PROGRAM, BUT OUR WORK CONTINUES ONLINE AS WE COVER THE NEWS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AT WTIUNEWS.ORG.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

"INDIANA NEWSDESK" IS MADE
