ANDERSON — John Powless drives up as I’m walking a basketball burial ground.
Powless, in a white Chevy Blazer with dents on both doors, rolls slowly past the crane and the backhoe and three men in hard hats staring balefully at him. All of us are in the parking lot of the Wigwam, the old high school gymnasium that opened in 1961 and has welcomed everyone from the Anderson Indians to the Indiana Pacers to the Harlem Globetrotters. Richard Nixon held a campaign rally here. So did a Kennedy (Bobby) and a Clinton (Hillary).
