Chicago man admits making bomb threats against SIUC roBert patrick | St. louiS poSt-diSpatch
A Chicago man has pleaded guilty to four federal charges and admitted making bomb threats in his “war on SIU,” prosecutors said Thursday. Derrick Dawon Burns, 22, admitted sending four letters
threatening Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, students, staff, campus police and the FBI between Oct. 10, 2012 and Oct. 1, 2013, prosecutors said. Three letters were titled “The War on SIU,” authorities said. One was placed in a mail collection box on
Rauner vetoes student vote bill luke nozicka | @LukeNozicka
Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed a bill on Friday that would have allowed both student representatives on the SIU Board of Trustees to vote. Every year two students — one from the Carbondale campus and one from the Edwardsville campus — are elected to the nine-person board. One of the two is allowed to vote on university business or policy, a power solely awarded by the
governor, usually in July. The bill would have allowed both to vote. Neither Adrian Miller, Carbondale’s last student representative, nor Mitch Morecraft, Edwardsville’s most recent representative, were able to vote during their time as student representatives. “Disappointed the Governor vetoed the student backed trustee bill,” Miller tweeted today. “While I respect the decision, I don’t believe it was right @dailyegyptian.”

campus and the others were discovered in mail sorting machines in the area, his plea says. The original charging documents say Burns threatened to blow up buildings and rape and decapitate female students, among other threats. One letter prompted the university to
evacuate three dorms. Another said, “Give me $50 million or SIU is history,” court documents say. After a psychiatric exam, Burns was found competent to stand trial. Burns’ lawyer, Thomas Keefe III, declined to comment and said he could not provide any reason why the letters were sent.
In a statement announcing the plea, prosecutors also provided no reason. Burns pleaded guilty Wednesday to four counts of willfully making a bomb threat and could face two years or less in prison under federal sentencing guidelines at a Dec. 8 hearing.
Man pleads guilty to charges connected to death of former SIU student luke nozicka | @LukeNozicka A man pled guilty to charges connected to the death of a former SIU student who was struck by a vehicle in November, Jackson County State’s Attorney Michael Carr announced Tuesday. Seth Loyd, 23, pled guilty to one count of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol involving the death of SIU student Matthew Dierker, who died from injuries he suffered after being struck by a 1997 green Ford Escort that Loyd was driving at 3:20 p.m. on Nov. 14, 2014. Dierker, whose heart stopped at the scene but was revived, was taken to the Memorial Hospital of Carbondale. There, they determined he had a broken neck and back, severe head trauma and multiple
fractures in his ribs. He was air lifted to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, where he died at 7:55 a.m. on Nov. 15, according to a Jackson County state’s attorney’s office news release. Carbondale police received a call of an accident involving a bicyclist and a vehicle at the intersection of Old Highway 13 and Bigler Road, where they found Dierker, a 33-year-old Carbondale resident, lying unconscious on the left side of Old Highway 13, the Jackson County state’s attorney’s office said. At the scene, police say Loyd told officers that “he was not going to lie, and that he was guilty of a DUI right now,” according to the Jackson County state’s attorney’s office. He also told police he was texting his
mother when he struck Dierker, who the Southern Illinoisan described in November as “a veteran of half a dozen local punk bands and an avid runner and cyclist.” Loyd also told police he was drinking the night before and had a couple more drinks when he woke up that day, according to the news release. A blood sample, which Loyd gave voluntarily at the Memorial Hospital of Carbondale, was tested by the Illinois State Police Crime Lab and revealed he had a blood alcohol content of .207. Later, a breath sample revealed he had a blood alcohol content of .174. Two witnesses told police they saw the vehicle strike Dierker. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 5.

B raden B arton | d aily e gyPtian Sophomore Fullback Hans Carmien lines up for a play Saturday at Saluki Stadium during the last scrimmage of the season. Carmien has earned a full scholarship playing on the team.
Versatility leads to scholarship for fullback sean Carley | @SCarleyDE When a fullback does not get carries from the backfield, versatility earns playing time. Sophomore fullback Hans Carmien capitalized on his opportunities last season by catching six passes while not having any rushing attempts. “I can do lots of things [such as] blocking, running, catching,” he said. “I can do all phases of the game.” Carmien is not alone in lacking touches, as only four fullbacks in the Missouri Valley Football Conference have more than five touches in their careers.
Coach Dale Lennon, who was a fullback North Dakota University from 1979 to 1983, said he enjoys having a fullback on the roster. “The fullback has to be kind of a utility player, and [Carmien] is that,” he said. Through fall training camp, Carmien has been lined up at fullback, tight end and halfback. Running back coach Larry Warner said having Carmien on the offense is a blessing. “[Carmien] is a guy who can play tight end and can catch the ball,” he said. “[Carmien] can line up out in the slot and understands the whole offense.” Carmien, a former walk-on,
earned a full scholarship for this season. Lennon said it was an easy decision to award Carmien the scholarship. “The rule of thumb is if you’re a starter, you should be on a scholarship,” Lennon said. “[Carmien] worked his way into being a starting player for us.” Carmien said he plans to continue his hard work and capitalize on his scholarship. “I had a good season last year,” he said. “I was pretty fortunate to get a good amount of playing time last year... [Lennon] said to keep working hard and that’s what I’ve been doing.”

B raden B arton | d aily e gyPtian From left to right: Kickers Josh Haynes, Austin Johnson and Chris Adams kneel on the sideline Saturday at Saluki Stadium during the last scrimmage of the season. The three are competing for the starting position.
Who will be the starting Saluki kicker? thoMas donley | @tdonleyDE After having the same starter for every game at kicker last season, SIU football has three potential candidates to take the job. Kickers Chris Adams and Austin Johnson are the favorites as the starting kicker. “It’s a good competition,” Adams said. “[Johnson] pushes me to kick a little better.” Johnson said the competition feels
neck and neck at this point in camp. “I’ve never seen [Adams] hit the ball so well,” Johnson said. “[We] have been trading back and forth, with minimal misses. It is so close right now, it’s hard to tell.” Thomas Kinney started every game at kicker the last two seasons before graduating. Last year, he converted all 41 of his extra points and averaged 62.8 yards per kickoff. However, his field goal percentage dipped from 75 percent as a junior to
53 percent last season. Both Johnson — who was the starter during part of his freshman year before Kinney took over — and Adams worked away from SIU during the offseason to improve on field goal kicking. Adams, a senior, worked with Kinney during the offseason to improve the height of his field goal kicks. Johnson, a junior, spent his offseason working with Jamie Kohl — who runs the Kohl’s Professional Camps for kicking, punting and
snapping — on the height and distance of his kicks. The Salukis do not have a coach specifically for kickers. Coach Dale Lennon reserves the responsibility for himself. “Nobody talks to the kickers but me,” Lennon said. “When kickers get too much input, some of it might be negative, so it’s just a lot easier when all that input is coming from one person.” Freshman Josh Haynes, the other

kicker on the Saluki roster, could also earn the job. Johnson said that does not prevent him and Adams from trying to help Haynes reach his full potential. “The kid’s got a natural leg on him,” Johnson said. “So we’re just trying to refine him so that when we do leave, we leave with [the team] in good hands.” Lennon said no starters will be announced until the week of SIU’s first game.

Somber locker room says it all on Jordy Nelson’s injury toM silverstein Milwaukee Journal Sentinel None of the Packers were coming out and saying it, but the looks on their faces and the words coming out of their mouths seemed to confirm the suspicion. Wide receiver Jordy Nelson is out for the season. NFL Network reported that the Packers’ medical staff thinks Nelson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee after landing awkwardly during the first quarter of the Packers’ 24-19 exhibition loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday afternoon. Coach Mike McCarthy would not reveal what preliminary tests revealed and said he would wait until an MRI is performed Monday before commenting. But he answered a question about the seriousness of Nelson’s injury by talking about how much he thinks of his veteran both as a receiver and a person. “I’m just in a position of listening to all the information,” McCarthy said of reports from the doctors. “Until we get back to Green Bay and do scans and things like that. ... I mean, Jordy Nelson is a key member of our football program, both on the field and off the field, probably more so off the field. Jordy is a great player, he’s tremendous in the locker room, he’s a tremendous family man.
Yes, he’s a key member and we’re looking for good news tomorrow. That’s my mindset.” Nelson wasn’t the only one injured. Starting right guard T.J. Lang and backup quarterback Scott Tolzien both suffered concussions. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers had to ice down his wrist after getting sacked for a safety and linebacker Adrian Hubbard and cornerback Damarious Randall had to leave to receive IV liquids. A year ago, the Packers lost nose tackle B.J. Raji (biceps), tackle Don Barclay (knee) and receiver Jared Abbrederis (knee) to season-ending injuries during training camp. Nelson’s injury is the first significant one the Packers have suffered this summer. “This is a sport we’re all going to be injured at some point,” Rodgers said. “It’s a 100 percent injury rate for every player. You’re going to deal with it. You just hate to see it in the preseason because it doesn’t count for anything.” Nelson caught a quick hitch to the right side on second and 5 at the Pittsburgh 25 on the game’s opening possession. Cornerback Antwon Blake first slipped to his knees trying to change direction and when Nelson went down it looked like he slipped on the turf also. But replays showed that Nelson jumped high, landed on
his left foot and then collapsed as he tried to turn and run in one motion. It was obvious right away that he had suffered an injury. He hobbled off to the far sideline and then was examined by team physician Patrick McKenzie. The medical staff can perform a stability test on Nelson’s knee to judge how serious the injury might be. If the knee can be manipulated in an abnormal way, McKenzie can get a good idea the ACL is torn. McKenzie could be seen working on Nelson’s left knee on a table behind the Packers’ bench. Even though Nelson walked back to the locker room and seemed to be moving briskly without favoring his leg, it doesn’t mean the injury isn’t significant. An ACL injury requires surgery and would sideline Nelson 8 to 12 months. Judging from Rodgers’ unsolicited utterance of disgust for exhibition football after the game, it was obvious he knew the diagnosis wasn’t good. He wouldn’t confirm the ACL tear, but he seemed agitated and was uncharacteristically short with his answers. “It’s difficult to lose a guy like that in a meaningless game,” Rodgers said, when asked how he was feeling. The quarterback’s distaste for

what occurred led him to take shots at the NFL’s four games that don’t count. He said he could go the entire exhibition season without playing and be ready for the regular season. He
said he isn’t alone among his brethren in favoring a reduction in exhibition games. “I think a lot of players around the league probably do, at least cut it down a couple,” Rodgers said.

Rauner signs bill allowing nursing home residents to install cameras Monique garcia and KiM geiger | Chicago Tribune Taking action on dozens of bills, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed measures into law that would allow nursing home residents to put cameras in their rooms to protect against abuse and require high school students to take a civics class in order to graduate. The Republican governor also made liberal use of his veto pen, rejecting proposals that would extend key services to wards of the state until they were 21 instead of 18, and require doctors to provide hepatitis C screenings for people born from 1945 to 1965. Rauner also sought to rewrite a bill that would have put in place tougher consumer protections in the case of data breaches, saying the measure went too far and would place “burdensome requirements” on businesses. The Rauner administration announced the bill signings and vetoes late on a Friday afternoon, a time politicians traditionally dump unflattering news in the hope it will get less attention over the weekend as the public’s focus shifts from the workweek to weekend plans. Among the bills Rauner dealt with: 1. Signed a bill backed by Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan that would allow nursing home residents to put cameras in their rooms if they pay for them. The effort comes as the Illinois Department of Public Health receives roughly 19,000 calls a year alleging neglect or abuse in nursing homes, and the bill specifies that the footage could be used in court. Nursing homes will be required to post a sign at main entrances warning that rooms could be electronically monitored. Everyone living in a room would need to consent to a camera being installed. If one resident of a shared room wants a camera and the other doesn’t, the resident who wants the camera would be moved to another room. Legal guardians and family members would be able to give consent for residents whose mental condition prevents them from giving it themselves. A physician would need to determine whether the resident is capable of consenting. 2. Approved a bill that would require high school students to take at least one semester of civics in order to graduate. The law goes into effect Jan. 1, but it’s expected that schools would not incorporate the requirement until the 2016-17 school year begins next fall. 3. Signed a bill that would create a test program in Cook County setting up a special court system to deal with offenders charged with low-level crimes like shoplifting and trespassing. The effort is aimed at easing jail overcrowding while shifting nonviolent criminals into treatment programs to keep them out of the criminal justice system. 4. Used his veto pen to reject an attempt by lawmakers to protect funding for foster care services for adult wards of the state, something Rauner had sought to cut in his budget proposal. The Department of Children and Family Services provides extended services to wards ages 18 to 21, including job placement, help finding living arrangements and scholarship funding. In his February budget proposal, Rauner said he wanted to eliminate funding for those services. Lawmakers responded by sending him a bill that would require that foster care cases remain open until wards reach the age of 21, instead of 18. “Age is often very much an arbitrary thing, especially when you’re dealing with children who have been exposed to trauma, abused or neglected,” said sponsoring Rep. Sara Feigenholtz, D-Chicago. Rauner’s proposed cuts “just absolutely went through the child welfare community like a lightning rod. We collectively made a decision that it was worth fighting to help these kids.” Rauner vetoed the bill, saying it was an “unfunded mandate” that “places a significant financial burden on the department, particularly because the department would not be eligible for matching federal funds for all these services.” Feigenholtz said she hoped the General Assembly would try to override the veto. “We made a decision to make them wards of the state. That means we’re their parents,” Feigenholtz said of the DCFS wards. “I think a lot of us felt very strongly about doing what this bill did, and we’ll figure out what we’re going to do.” 5. Rauner also cited concerns over the cost to the state in his veto of a measure that would require doctors to provide hepatitis C screenings to baby boomers, who make up the bulk of those diagnosed with the liver disease. Rauner said the state’s Medicaid system for the poor could not take on the “significant short-term financial obligations” required under the bill, and argued the measure amounted to “government-mandated medical care” that could expose doctors to lawsuits. The proposal was opposed by the Illinois State Medical Society, which donated more than $250,000 to Rauner’s campaign last year.

The open house was a way for the organization to welcome new students and their families to the group.
Ministries help students adapt to campus life anna sPoerre | @ASpoerre_DE New students experiencing college for the first time often seek a supporting community through faith. The Rev. Jay Holden, assistant pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church and president of SIU Campus Ministries, an organization that helps religious groups on campus collaborate, said the purpose is to connect students to a faith community and provide religious counseling. “Students show up with all different sorts of issues. They need spiritual care, general counseling that comes with taking classes and being away from home,’” Holden said. “Faith communities can be really helpful in showing students that it’s not just them.” Greg Chimitris, a staff member of Intervarsity, an interdenominational student-led ministry, said college is a chance for young adults to explore their beliefs apart from how they were raised. “For a lot of students, faith is a really important part of their identity, so we give them a place to connect with that, but also to express and grow in it,” Chimitris said. “Nobody wants to have the same beliefs they had when they were 12, 13 or 14 by the end of their college career.” Alli Ramsay, a sophomore from Elmwood studying cinema
and French, said Intervarsity helped her transition from a small high school to a large research university. “Before I came to college, I was really kind of worried because I didn’t think I’d find a community to get involved in,” Ramsay said. “They were so welcome and so intentional that I really got connected.” Ramsay, now a leader of the group, said she gets to greet new students with the same welcoming she received. “Last year, I was so impressed and grateful for the community that they provided,” she said. “So, I joined leadership to make sure I could be one of those people that welcome students as soon as they got on campus and give them that opportunity to join the community they want to find.” Gary Kulik, a senior from Highland Park studying hospitality management, said being involved with Chabad, an Orthodox Jewish movement, and Hillel, a Jewish student organization, gave him a sense of belonging. “This is definitely a place you can go and celebrate holidays, especially since we don’t have family down here,” Kulik said. Jacob Brunning, vice-president of Chabad of SIU and the Hillel Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, said the organization struggled with retention, funding and resources before
Rabbi Mendel Scheiman joined. Members refer to Scheiman as the ‘Moses of Carbondale’ because membership has increased since he arrived. SIU Campus Ministries has primarily encompassed Christianity and Judaism in the past, but they are now working to include some of Carbondale’s Islamic population. Tim Taylor, director of the Newman Catholic Student Center and previous president of SIU Campus Ministries, said the program is designed to be supportive and inspirational by working with other faiths to do good. Oasmane Sawadogo, a member of the Carbondale Muslim Center, met with Holden last week to discuss future involvement in SIU Campus Ministries. He said these interfaith discussions are a necessity in society. “When you… listen to others, you understand [their point of view] and you would not judge based off of what is being said in the media,” he said. “I think that this [opportunity] came at the right time.” Chimitris said Intervarsity is having a teaching series this fall to discuss race and ethnicity. “We believe God created culture and ethnicity and those are good things. We shouldn’t pretend to be the same together. Differences are to be celebrated.”

Why medical marijuana can still get you fired in Illinois alexia elejalde-Ruiz | Chicago Tribune
Michael Rosengarden says he is a “big believer” in medical marijuana. But his sympathy for Illinois’ cannabis patients runs into a roadblock at his workplace, where he won’t employ anyone found with drugs in their system. “The liability is significant, and I’m not interested in losing what I’ve worked a lifetime to put together,” said Rosengarden, president of Autohaus Automotive, a car dealership in Northbrook that has been in his family for 43 years. As Illinois moves closer to opening its first medical marijuana dispensaries, some employers have begun navigating the tricky landscape of medical weed at work. They’re examining how they would handle an employee or job candidate who can buy and use pot legally under state law while potentially conflicting with their drug policies and with federal law, which still classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, alongside cocaine and heroin. While the state’s Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act prohibits employers from discriminating against a marijuana patient, it permits employers to drug test and to enforce zero-tolerance and drug-free workplace policies, as well as to discipline qualifying patients for violating those rules. As in most states where medical marijuana is legal, the Illinois law does not protect qualifying patients from being fired for failing a drug
test, which can happen long after the high is gone. “Ultimately, in Illinois, [patients] need the sympathy of the employer,” said employment attorney Joe Yastrow, president of Chicago-based Laner Muchin, who represents management. But even sympathetic employers may feel that their hands are tied. Rosengarden, who employs 180 people who in some way handle cars at his Mercedes-Benz dealership, said he is opting to stick with his drug policies, which include preemployment and post-accident testing, for fear that his workers’ compensation and liability insurance providers won’t reimburse expenses incurred by a worker who tests positive for marijuana. “Society is moving in one direction, but there are certain aspects of the law or the people we partner with who aren’t there yet,” Rosengarden said. “We’re caught in the middle.” With just 2,800 qualifying patients so far, and many of them not employed given their debilitating conditions, the number of people directly affected is small for now, said Dan Linn, director of government and public relations at the Illinois Cannabis Industry Association. But for those who get tangled in the conflicting policies, “it will be a tough decision if they have to choose between their medicine and their livelihood,” Linn said. “I am definitely concerned because this is a very likely problem we can foresee happening, looking at other states.”
