City Council Passing the ball to vote on raffle license at meeting By Corryn Brock Staff Reporter | @corryn_brock The Charleston City Council will vote on raffle license for the Five Mile House Foundation to raise funds for the Barn and Blacksmith Shop Project, as well as on other items, during a city council meeting Sept. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at 520 Jackson Ave. According to the application for the raffle license, the funds raised during the raffle will go towards the blacksmith shop, the carpenter and a community gathering space. According to the Five Mile House website, the building will be constructed by the dismantling of the Commodore Perry Davis Barn and then reconstructed to appear as “a smaller but similar configuration at the Five Mile House.” The raffle will include items as well as a 50/50 drawing, according to the website. A 50/50 raffle drawing is when half of the funds raised by the purchasing of raffle tickets is given to the person whose name is drawn during the determination of the winner. If approved, one resolution to be voted on will enter the City of Charleston into an agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation to assist in the funding of a resurfacing project on Lincoln Avenue beginning west of Douglas Drive and ending east of Madison Avenue. IDOT will be the primary source of funding, however the city will be expected to pay an estimated cost of $153,900 to come from the MFT fund in the 2020 fiscal year. Mayor Brandon Combs will also ratify a proclamation declaring Sept 17. through Sept. 23 Constitution Week.

Taste of College of Health, Human Services to be held Tuesday Staff Report | @DEN_News A taste of the College of Health & Human Services will be held Tuesday, Sept 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Library Quad. The event will include music, food, informational tables and giveaways. Jeanne Lord, the interim dean of the College of Health and Human Services, said in an earlier interview on Aug 20 that this event is part of her goal to create a more seen college. “We want to create on campus visibility and identity,” Lord said. The idea for the event comes from similar events Lord has seen around other places. “You’ve heard of a ‘taste of Chicago’, or ‘taste of Champaign/Urbana’, so we’re going to do something (like that),” Lord said. “So … students walking by (the event) get a sense of ‘oh, a college of health and human services, this is kind of neat. Who are you and what do you do?’” The News staff can be reached at 581-2812 or dennewsdesk@gmail.com.

Kinesiology and Sports Studies, Recreation departments combine By Mercury Bowen Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News The Recreation department joined the Kinesiology and Sports Studies department to form the Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation department at the beginning of the 2018 fall semester. Tony Oliver, the Chair of the Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation department, said the union with the Recreation department created a mutually beneficial collaboration between the two. “The decision was made to merge together two strong departments to really make us both stronger,” Oliver said. “We both have a strong history on campus and at this time of transition and change some of our colleagues in decision-making positions made a decision to help us both be stronger.” Andrew Kerins, the graduate coordinator for
the department, said the transition felt like a natural one. “We have different backgrounds but I think generally we’re all working on the same page with the same interests,” Kerins said. “I think it’s been a good fit for the department to have people from those different backgrounds working together.” Kerins said one nice thing about the transition process was that is was not rushed. “As a faculty member we like to see things move through a slow, methodical process,” Kerins said. The recreation administration department is a nationally accredited program through the National Recreation Park Association. “We are accredited, some are not,” Oliver said. “That only strengthens, both substantively and marketing and perceptually to have a nationally accredited program be brought in house.”
According to Kerins, the accreditation process is an elaborate one. “It’s a pretty extensive review process when you look at required coursework and the standards that the NRPA sets out there for you and then how our coursework and assignments match up with that,” Kerins said. The original undergraduate Kinesiology and Sports Studies majors included an exercise science program, a teacher education program, a sport management program and an athletic training program, while the graduate programs included sports administration and exercise science concentrations. “Recreation becomes another strong pillar within that department,” Kerins said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean the curriculum’s going to change.”

Tropical Storm Gordon brings hurricane warning to Gulf Coast MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tropical Storm Gordon lashed South Florida with heavy rains and high winds on Monday and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane when it hits the central U.S. Gulf Coast. Gordon formed into a tropical storm near the Florida Keys early Monday as it moved west-northwest at 17 mph (28 kph). The storm is expected to reach hurricane strength when it hits the Gulf Coast, including coastal Mississippi, by late Tuesday. From there, it is forecast to move inland over the lower Mississippi Valley on Wednesday. The National Hurricane Center said at 8 p.m. EDT that the storm was centered 95 miles (150 kilometers) west of Fort Myers, Florida. Maximum sustained winds were clocked at 60 mph (95 kph).
A hurricane warning was put into effect for the area stretching from the mouth of the Pearl River in Mississippi to the Alabama-Florida border. As much as 8 inches (20 centimeters) of rain could fall in some parts of the Gulf states through late Thursday. The Miami-based center said the storm is also expected to bring "lifethreatening" storm surge to portions of the central Gulf Coast. A storm surge warning has been issued for the area stretching from Shell Beach, Louisiana, to Dauphin Island, Alabama. The warning means there is danger of life-threatening inundation. The region could see rising waters of 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters). "The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and
to the east of the landfall location, where the surge will be accompanied by large waves," the center said. The National Weather Service said conditions were "possible" for tornadoes in the affected parts of South Florida on Monday night. The storm left many businesses on Florida's Gulf Coast feeling shortchanged by the holiday weekend. The area has already been heavily impacted by this summer's so-called "red tide"— massive algae blooms that have caused waves of dead marine life to wash up along the coast. Separately, Tropical Storm Florence continues to hold steady over the eastern Atlantic. Forecasters say little change in strength is expected in coming days and no coastal watches or warnings are in effect.
Protest brings arrests, doesn't shut down Chicago expressway CHICAGO (AP) — Police arrested a dozen participants of an anti-violence protest on Labor Day that tried and ultimately failed to shut down an expressway that leads to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Live TV reports Monday showed Illinois State Police troopers also arresting the main organizer of the protest, the Rev. Gregory Livingston, who had vowed days earlier to temporarily stop the traffic flow on Interstate 90, also known as the Kennedy Expressway. Dozens of troopers blocked a ramp onto the busy expressway while a trooper with a megaphone warned those attempting to march down that they would be arrested if they didn't turn around. Some chanted in response, "Ain't nobody going to turn us around."
When a trooper asked Livingston if he would go back, Livingston responded politely that he would not and said: "Arrest me." The trooper tapped him on the shoulder before leading him away. In all, a dozen people were arrested, handed $120 citations for being a pedestrian on a highway and soon released, an Illinois State Police spokesman, David Byrd, told the Chicago Tribune. As several dozen protesters gathered earlier, Livingston told reporters that poverty and a lack of investment in minority neighborhoods underpinned much of the deadly violence in the nation's third-largest city. "What we're trying to do is end the tale of two cities in Chicago," he said. "We think that so much of this violence is generated by Chicago's legacy
of segregation." Some protesters carried signs that read, "End State-Sanctioned Violence." Others called on Chicago's mayor to resign, chanting, "Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Rahm Emanuel has got to go!" Livingston also organized a protest last month that briefly shut down Lake Shore Drive on Chicago's North Side. In July, the Rev. Michael Pfleger led protesters in a march in the traffic lanes of the Dan Ryan Expressway. One Chicago alderman, Nicholas Sposato, criticized the protests, telling the Tribune on Monday that they wasted police resources. "Try to shut down a highway a third time?" he said. "Is this going to be a monthly thing now? When does it end?"
Bloomington may crack down on repeat housing code violations BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (AP) — The Bloomington City Council will consider a proposal to penalize landlords who repeatedly violate city housing codes. The Pantagraph reports the review comes after one landlord racked up nearly 800 code violations at six rental properties. One of those buildings was destroyed by fire earlier this year. The city created an administrative court for code violations in 2015, and has largely focused on getting landlords to fix problems rather than penalizing them. Officials say it's a balancing act because they want rental units to be safe, but shutting down problem buildings could leave renters homeless. Bloomington Mayor Tari Renner says the council needs to take another look at the issue and chronic offenders.
Illinois libraries receive grants for after-school programs CHICAGO (AP) — More than two dozen libraries across Illinois will receive grants to teach middle and high school students how to use the latest technology. Secretary of State Jesse White, who also serves as the state librarian, announced the some $525,000 in Project Next Generation grants. The program provides funding for libraries to offer after-school programs with access to computers, software and other technology. Mentors are hired to help students. White says the program, which is aimed at helping at-risk students, also teaches life skills like goal setting, conflict resolution and effective communication. The grants are awarded to libraries that serve low-income and culturally diverse populations. Among them are libraries in Carbondale, Chicago, Decatur, Jolie, Kankakee, Moline, Peoria and Sparta.

Book club focuses solely on discussion By Logan Raschke Staff Reporter | @DEN_News Literary Divas offers a book club experience for women who are passionate about reading but are not directly part of Eastern’s student community. Marita Metzke, director of the Academy of Lifelong Learning at Eastern, is the head of the discussion-based book club and said it was great. Literary Divas consists of 12 avid-reading women who are not studying at Eastern, she said. Metzke said Literary Divas is currently full for now, but availability may change if members have to leave in the future. She said members in the club finish a new book of the group’s choosing every other week, and they meet at the study room upstairs at the County Market on alternating Tuesdays from 4-5:30 p.m. “Most members are classified as voracious readers,” she said. “I personally learn something (new) about the book after discussions.” Metzke said through open group discussions, members can express what they have gathered from the books they read with people who have a similar frame of reference, and their knowledge flourishes from hearing other perspectives. Hearing the insights other members have to share is one of her favorite aspects about being part of the book club, she said. “Everybody’s experience is a little different,” she said. “I’m a better reader because of the book club.” Metzke said members of the club often arrive to meetings with pages of interesting notes for the discussion. “(Members) highlight quotes and parallels to other books discussed and bring those to classes,” she said. The first book members will be discussing is called “The Great Alone” by Kristin Hannah. “(‘The Great Alone’) is a fascinating tale about people being disenfranchised,” she said. “(It is about) isolated people having to find themselves.”

Metzke said she encourages people who are passionate about reading and people who enjoy analytical discussions to join a book club someday. “Women who love to read and are willing to explore multiple ideas and opinions fit right in the Literary Divas book club,” she said. Metzke said Literary Divas is not like any typical book club because it is focused entirely on the group analyses and discussions of the books they read.
“We don’t eat, we don’t drink wine, we don’t really socialize, it really is just discussion based on our love of reading,” she said. While some people are not used to book clubs like Literary Divas that focus mainly on discussion, Metzke said joining a club like it can be one of the most rewarding experiences. “My sister said, ‘A book club with no wine? What are you talking about? Does anyone bring food?’ and
(I said), ‘No, we just bring our books, our notes, and our questions’ and it’s fabulous,” Metzke said. Any woman interested in joining Literary Divas should call the Academy of Lifelong Learning for availability at 581-5114. Logan Raschke can be reached at 581-2812 or at lrraschke@eiu.edu.

Can’t stand the heat
Mental illness is serious There’s a silent killer rampaging throughout the world right now. It creeps in, or lays dormant, until it starts making life unbearable and unbelievably difficult. That ‘killer’ is mental illness, and we are all the victims. Despite the fact it is 2018 and we live in a modern, socially progressive world, there are still countless stigma surrounding mental illness and its treatments. Mental illnesses are just that; an illness. Like some physical illnesses, it cannot always be detected by the naked eye. As opposed to being hidden behind clothes or skin, these illnesses are hidden behind fake smiles and restless nights, and these illnesses deserve to be treated just as physical ones are. Nobody makes fun of someone or calls them weak for seeking help with a broken limb or a heart problem, so why wouldn’t mental illnesses be shown the same concern or respect? With mental illnesses being as common as a cold, why do those who suffer still sometimes feel isolated and ashamed? Getting out of bed while battling crippling depression can be as hard and painful as standing up on a broken leg, and both ailments deserve proper treatment. Check in on your friends who open up to you about their struggle with mental illness, and those who don’t. Make yourself available to listen, and be there for them as you would a friend suffering a terrible bout of the flu. Don’t get so involved in school and living the ‘best years of your life’ that you let your own mental health deteriorate. Be kind to yourself, and don’t be afraid to reach out for help if you need it. Every single person on this campus adds something unique to it; Eastern would not be the same without you. Stay safe and remember that it is okay to not be happy and to not want to interact with people, but it is also okay to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. Hold each other accountable for seeking help, making counseling appointments, taking medications on time and eating food on a regular basis. Try not to feel afraid or ashamed or alone; chances are everyone on campus can relate to whatever you are going through.

LOGAN R ASCHKE | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
End the stigma with mental illnesses I was recently told by someone that my mental illnesses are “all in my head” and that if I tried hard enough they would go away. First, I would like to say that that comment is completely false, but K ATE REHWINKEL it is still believed by many people who are uneducated about the topic. The person who said that did get one thing right, though. Mental illness truly is all in my head. Mental illnesses are primarily caused by brain dysfunction or chemical imbalances. The human brain is so complex that there is constant research going on to see how mental illnesses form in the brain, how the changes affect people and how to best treat the symptoms. I have suffered from a mood disorder not otherwise specified (MD-NOS), severe anxiety,
generalized anxiety and depression since I was around the age of 9, but I had symptoms since age 5. The one I deal with most is my anxiety. Most of my friends are supportive. Some get annoyed because they believe I’m too dramatic with my anxiety, when in reality my drama level seems to be directly related to how bad the anxiety makes me feel. Little do people know that there are some days when my anxiety is so bad that even breathing is a struggle. Yet I try to push through it and act as if nothing is wrong. There are also times when I panic too quickly, or have panic attacks, but I work my butt off every day trying to cope with it better than I did the day before. Sometimes I wish my friends would understand that all of this isn’t my fault and that I do my best to hide it around them and others. I don’t want people’s pity, I want people to understand mental illnesses. College is stressful for everyone, but it is definitely more stressful for someone who
already has anxiety. College is a privilege and I’m glad I have the opportunity to go, but sometimes it just mentally drains me. I am an advocate for having mental illnesses, and it is nothing to shy away from in society. I am not embarrassed to admit I have them, and I don’t believe anyone else should be either. However, the last thing someone who suffers from anxiety or other mental illnesses needs is to live in fear that their secret will become known and their life will be destroyed. Unfortunately, my anxiety will never go away. I have a chemical imbalance in my brain that can only be treated with medication. I was born with it, and I will die with it. I have no choice but to live with it every day. I am inspired when I meet others who suffer as I do, because they are some of the strongest and most reliable people I know. They also remind me that I am strong, even on my bad days. Kate Rehwinkel is a junior management major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or at kerehwinkel@eiu.edu.
Make change in your own ways In my Introduction to Speech Communication class we have our first speech coming up, and while I am absolutely terrified, it has given me time to think about myself. CORRYN BROCK For our first speech we had to choose and represent four things: our past, present, future and something that represents all of those items. Now my process for deciding what items to use was less than helpful, but after 30 minutes I came up with a theme for my speech and chose my items from that. I found my theme when I was stretching out and saw a flash of color on my leg, my tattoo. I got my tattoo a few days after I turned 18. It is a rainbow surrounded by the words, “if you want to change the world, start in your own neighborhood.” I got my tattoo to celebrate the first year of the club I started at my high school, the Meridi-
an Gay-Straight Alliance. I created the GSA for all of the LGBT students in my high school to have a place to feel loved and accepted in our majority conservative and small community. The creation of the GSA came for many reasons, like the lack of respect for the LGBT community and the absence of a school LGBT community despite a surprising amount of students who identified as LGBT. However, the biggest driving force for me was my urge to make the world a better place. Maybe it’s the ex-Girl Scout in me, who knows, but I believe in leaving things in better shape than you find them in. When I saw my tattoo and thought about my GSA, I instantly knew my theme had to be my path to changing the world. The next step was finding the objects to represent this theme. To represent my past, I chose a pride flag that students and teachers involved in my club signed. The flag really represents my start in my own community. At the end of the school year, I passed my leadership role to rising senior so we could continue passing the GSA down for years to come.
The Daily Eastern News also gets passed down every year to new leaders and reporters. I chose to bring a copy of the paper as the item to represent my present. I wanted to write for the DEN because I want to help inform people and so they are aware of all that happens around them. That’s why I chose journalism as my major. In my columns I am also given the opportunity to amplify my voice and share my stories and opinions with the public. To represent my future, I chose a microphone. I don’t know how I want to put my voice out into the world quite yet, but I know I want to be involved in shaping the world into a better place. I think everyone wants to make the world a better place, no matter what their views are. Everyone has their own ideals for what the world would look best as in their eyes. I also believe whether you change the world or not is up to you. Put yourself out there and make your own change, whatever that looks like for you. Corryn Brock is a freshman journalism major.

The merging of the two departments added the recreation department’s generalist and therapeutic recreation specializations to those available from the Kinesiology and Sports Studies department. The therapeutic recreation option has a mandatory certification accreditation, which means those wishing to work in therapeutic recreation in the field are required to get a professional credential. According to Kerins, to receive the professional credential, one must come from an accredited program as well as intern under someone with the same certification. “There’s always a demand for people with a (Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist certification) because that is

something that is such a growing need and because it’s a high credential to get,” Kerins said. “It’s not something people can easily obtain.” Oliver said his primary focus is to make certain the department has successful undergraduate programs as well as supporting the graduate program. “With (Kerins) accepting the position of KSR graduate coordinator, I see it as an additional link or bond to what we’ve become,” Oliver said. “I think it not only literally but maybe symbolically is an important linking of the two departments.” Mercury Bowen can be reached at 581-2812 or mjbowen@eiu.edu.

The proclamation is to occur every year according to Public Law 915. The law was originally adopted by the United States Congress and signed into effect in 1956 by President Eisenhower. The proclamation asks citizens to reaffirm ideals the Framers of the Constitution had in 1787, and also to vigilantly protect freedoms guaranteed to them in the Constitution. Three other action items will be voted on by the city council including: a resolution to authorize expenditure of tourism funds for Candy Crush 2018 as well as the reappointment of Steve Hutti to a two year term on the Police Pension Fund Board of
Trustees and Larry Shobe to a three year term on the Charleston Tree Commission. Following the voting on action items time will be reserved for members of the public to address the city council. The council will not vote on any matters brought to them at that time and are not required to take any action on the items brought forth. Those wishing to address the council are asked to speak into the microphone, limit speeches to three minutes, and avoid repetitive comments, according to the council’s agenda.

THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS | MOVIE REVIEW
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2018
Movie Review: ‘Searching’ a must-see film By Jordan Boyer Photo Editor | @DEN_News
mirroring real life missing person’s cases, and the reactions from the public. John Cho delivered a surprisingly good performance as the father David Kim. Cho is better known for portraying the character Harold in the “Harold and Kumar” series, and a character that popularized the term “MILF” in “American Pie.” He delivered a truly convincing performance as a distressed father trying to find his missing daughter. One small aspect I liked about the direction of the film is Kim’s overall demeanor through out the course of the film. One pet peeve I have about movies and Television shows is that many characters are shown going through dire situations, and for some reason they still look amazing with make up on and their hair done. Kim is shown physically deteriorating by the end of the movie, you can tell he has not slept in days and the extreme amounts of stress is getting to him. The movie has a brilliant twist at the end that is hard to spot out, and it will leave the viewer shocked. “Searching” is a smash hit among critics with a current score of 91% on the Rotten Tomato’s Tomatometer, and I agree with critics and praise this film for its unique viewing experience. “Searching” is currently 5th in the box office at 5.8 million, so it seems to be popular among viewers as well, not just critics. “Searching” just debuted last weekend so take some time in the next couple of weeks to go and see it. You will certainly enjoy the compelling mystery on the disappearance of Margot Kim.
“Searching” is director Aneesh Chaganty’s debut feature film (he also cowrote the script) and he certainly delivered a great thriller for modern day Internet users. “Searching” follows the story of a relatively new single father David Kim (John Cho) and his 16-year-old daughter Margot (Michelle La). After Margot goes missing, her desperate father searches the web and her daughter’s social media to find her. The most interesting aspect of this movie is the aspect that the entirety of it is on either a computer or smart phone screen. It is really interesting how Chaganty made some scenes so suspenseful, with just a webpage on the screen and the ominous clicks from Kim’s keyboard. The film has a constant mystery that consistently develops through out the plot. Seeing such a distressed father investigate his daughter’s entire life on the web is truly heartbreaking. Soon it is reveled that the father did not know his daughter as well as he previously thought. With the films Internet premise, it is clear that the director is displaying the modern day reliance on the Internet for our day-to-day lives. A person’s social media accounts and their contents on their own computers/smart phones effectively portray who a person is, or a person they are trying to be. The film also portrays the very real Internet reaction to worldwide news. In the film, Kim goes viral on social media by people who know next to nothing about the current situation. People start labeling him a bad father and etc.

Panthers lose both weekend games By Oscar Rzodkiewicz Men’s Soccer Reporter | @ORzodkiewicz The Eastern men’s soccer team faced Evansville and Green Bay at home over the weekend, forcing a 1-1 draw in Friday’s matchup and, despite blood being spilled, the Panthers fell 1-0 on Sunday afternoon. After a 2-0 win against Cincinnati in Eastern’s first match of the season, the Panthers started hot against Evansville, securing a 1-0 first half lead on a goal by junior Christian Sosnowski in the 42nd minute. The physicality of the matchup proved to be a deciding factor after the referees awarded Evansville junior Jesse Stafford-Lacey a penalty kick in the 74th minute that knotted up the game. Despite being outshot by 6 in regulation, Eastern recorded 4 shots to Evansville’s 0 over the two 10-minute overtime periods, but neither team scored. S u n d a y ’s m a t c h u p a g a i n s t Green Bay featured less physical play than the Evansville game, but more close scoring opportunities for Eastern’s attack, despite the loss. Eastern outshot Green Bay 8 to 5 in the contest, and although Green Bay controlled the ball for a majority of the game, Eastern appeared to find more solid scoring changes. “We moved the ball very well, and they gave us a chance to score, and we didn’t score,” head coach Kiki Lara said. The game remained scoreless into halftime, with both teams tied with 4 shots, but it was yet another penalty kick that opened up the match for Green Bay. Junior Tomer Zloczower, who finished last season ranked second for Green Bay in goals, found the back of the net in the 59th minute for the Phoenix. Lara was vocal on the sidelines about the call that allowed the penalty kick, but after the game he said, “We’re not worried about that.”

“We moved the ball very well, and they gave us a chance to score, and we didn't score.” - Kiki Lara, head coach The intensity grew late after Green Bay sophomore goalkeeper Jamison Yoder left the field with blood on his face after attempting to secure the ball late. After deliberation between the coaches and officials and some medical assistance to Yoder, a live ball drop in the box went Green
Bay’s way to quash Eastern’s comeback hopes. On the other side of the field, sophomore goalkeeper Jonathan Burke faced plenty of pressure over the course of the weekend, and Lara said he was impressed with the keeper’s play. “Burke’s been matured,” Lara

said. “Burke’s been solid, and he’s been trustworthy back there.” Eastern will face Bradley Friday at 7 p.m. as part of the Bradley Invite, and Lara said he simply wants to continue building within the process. “We just got to keep knocking on the stone, and doing things
right,” Lara said. “We’ve gotten better each game we’ve played, each half, and we just got to continue that growth aspect of our program.” Oscar Rzodkiewicz can be reached at 581-2812 or orrzodkiewicz@eiu.edu.

Five turnovers doom Eastern in 55-20 loss By JJ Bullock Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The Eastern football team made more first downs, had more rushing yards, and had more time of possession than Arkansas when the two teams met on Saturday in Fayetteville, yet even given all those numbers, Arkansas pummeled Eastern 55-20. Despite those stats, the explanation for why Eastern lost by 35 points is simple, the Panthers turned the ball over five times, all on fumbles, a sin no team can commit and still expect to stay in a football game, especially in the case of Eastern against an FBS opponent. The first fumble by Eastern happened just 36 seconds into the Panthers’ first possession. Quarterback Johnathan Brantley was running to his left when he was hit in the legs by an Arkansas defender and flipped in the air. Brantley lost control of the football before hitting the ground and Arkansas recovered at Eastern’s 35-yard line. It only took the Razorbacks just under two minutes to turn the fumble into a field goal, taking a 3-0 lead. Eastern lost a fumble again just two possessions later when senior receiver Aaron Gooch was hit and lost the ball. This time however, the Eastern defense was able to hold the Arkansas offense and forced them to punt. The fumble plague struck again on Eastern’s next possession at the close of the first quarter. Quarterback Harry Woodbery was drilled by an Arkansas defender and lost the ball in the endzone. The Razorbacks jumped on the loose ball for a touchdown and took a 10-0 lead. On the Panthers’ second possession of the second quarter, believe it or not, Eastern fumbled and gave Arkansas possession of the football. It only took the Razorbacks three plays from the 27-yard line to score another touchdown and put themselves up 17-0. It is important to keep in mind that both of Arkansas’ touchdowns to this point in the game came without the Razorbacks having to travel more than 27-yards. Arkansas opened up its passing game after that touchdown and ended up taking a 38-6 lead into halftime. Eastern’s first possession of the second half resulted in a fumble too. This time it was picked up by Arkansas’ Bumper Pool and returned all the way down to the five-yard line. It only took Arkansas

two plays this time to turn the turnover into a touchdown. Eastern reigned it in somewhat after the fifth fumble. Scoring one touchdown in the each of the third and fourth quarters. All three of Eastern’s touchdowns in the came on behalf of wide receiver Alexander Hollins. Other notes; -Eastern all-conference receiver Alexander Hollins was named the OVC offensive player of the week thanks to the 127 yards and three touchdowns he put up on the Razorbacks. Two of his touchdown catches came from quarterback Harry Woodbery and one came from Johnathan Brantley.
-Eastern began the game with Brantley at quarterback, he finished 18-25 passing with 134 yards and one touchdown. Woodbery took over in the first quarter and finished the day 9-15 passing with 96 yards and two touchdowns. -Arkansas began the game with 6 foot 7 inch, 258 lbs Cole Kelley at quarterback. Kelley was not bad in the game, he was 9-12 passing with 96 yards and one touchdown. The offense however struggled to move the ball efficiently with him under center. He was replaced by Ty Storey and after that the Arkansas offense exploded. Storey threw for 261 yards on 12-17 passing and tallied three touchdowns before the game ended.
-Eastern’s star linebacker Dytarious Johnson appeared to get injured during the game and left for a couple of plays. He returned however and showed everyone he was just fine by laying a huge hit on Kelley. -The kicking game was abysmal for Eastern. Kicker Matt Severino missed both of his field goal attempts in the first half on two very bad kicks. His first miss came from 47-yards out and his second miss was on a 29-yard chip shot. He also missed an extra point. -Eastern’s offensive line got banged up during the game, forcing some personnel changes up front. Starting center Cole Hoover exited the game with an
injury, so the Panthers moved left guard Johari Branch to his spot. This move forced starting left tackle Josh Doyle to move to left guard and backup tackle Grant Branch into the game at left tackle. -Running Back Jamal Williams took the most carries (12) in the game for Eastern. The Independence Community College transfer finished with 82 yards and averaged 6.8 yards per carry. All-conference running back Isaiah Johnson had seven carries for 30 yards and one fumble in the game. JJ Bullock can be reached at 581-2812 or jpbullock@eiu.edu.
Eastern wins first match of season over Chicago State By Adam Tumino Women’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern women’s soccer team earned its first victory of the season on Sept. 2 at Chicago State, capping off a pair of weekend matches in which they went 1-0-1. The first match was on Friday afternoon at Lakeside Field. After falling behind IUPUI 1-0, the Panthers managed to tie up the match on a Haylee Renick goal. But neither team managed to pull ahead, and the match finished as a 1-1 draw. “We were 1-0 down and we fought our way back into the game,” head coach Jake Plant said. “The girls had a refusal to be beaten.” Plant also saw improvements in play against IUPUI, especially in the attacking style of offense they have been focusing on in practice. “The girls are getting more rhythm in front of the goal,” Plant said. “Today (against IUPUI) everything was there but the finish. When the finish comes,

we look like geniuses.” The chances were there for Eastern. They outshot IUPUI 16-14, the first time they had outshot an opponent so far this season, The Panthers took another step towards offensive success on the road
Sunday against Chicago State. Renick scored her second goal of the weekend, and Lexi Ketterhagen added one of her own for insurance. But goalkeeper Sara Teteak only needed the one goal, as she stopped all four shots she faced.
The Panthers were once again on the attack, even more than against IUPUI. They got off 17 shots, 10 of which were on goal. The defense allowed only five shots from Chicago State players. “The hardest thing in soccer is putting the ball into the net,” Plant said. “The girls had plenty of opportunities to do that and did it twice. Another day it might be five or six times. As the season progresses, the goals will go in more and more.” A part of the style Plant wants the team to adopt is attacking for the entire game without running out of steam near the end of matches. Their shots were dispersed throughout the match, shooting 10 times in the first half and seven times in the second, while also scoring one goal per half. Even in the last 10 to 15 minutes, the Panthers pushed the ball on offense regardless of their two-goal lead. They nearly added points on a couple of times late. Plant said that the team had been getting to the point where they could
perform for a solid 90 minutes, and seemed to put it all together against Chicago State. Sarah DeWolf did find the net near the end of the match, but it was waived off on an offsides call. The call upset DeWolf, who received a short talk from the referee afterwards. It upset the team as well, but they bounced back quickly and nearly scored again moments later. “They might be bummed in the moment because they’re hungry to score, they’re hungry to win,” Plant said, adding that the momentary disappointment in losing a goal is replaced with a desire to score another one. Overall, the Panthers are 1-2-2 in 2018. Renick and DeWolf lead the team with two goals each. Next weekend they play Indiana State at home before traveling to DeKalb to face Northern Illinois. The weekend after that is the start of the conference season. Adam Tumino can be reached at 581-2812 or ajtumino@eiu.edu.
