Lazy Cakes, a dessert designed to induce sleep, is causing controversy as people debate its effects. Sen. Dick Durbin is pushing strongly for the Food and Drug Administration to regulate the product.

‘Relaxation’ brownies cause controversy Dessert made with melatonin helps induce sleep TARA KULASH Daily Egyptian To the right of the cash register, alongside an assortment of lighters at the local tobacco shop, sits a purple package with a chocolate treat inside.

Some say the dessert, known as Lazy Cakes, resembles marijuana brownies to the naked eye. In reality,

the legal product is used to induce sleep in adults. “I’ve tried (Lazy Cakes),� said Colby Thompson, manager of The Smoke House of Carbondale. “After about 45 minutes, it hits the bloodstream and just makes you go to sleep.�

Lazy Cakes, an adult dietary supplement labeled as “the ultimate

relaxation brownie,� contain approximately 8 mg of melatonin in each brownie, which is double the recommended dose for adults.

Concerns have risen regarding the products safety since the treats hit the market in 2010.

Thompson said The Smoke House, located in Murdale Shopping Center, started to sell the brownies around the first of the year. He said sales thrived when the product first became available but have recently decreased.

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-

IL) is one of many who have raised questions about the nature of the product. Durbin wrote a letter to the Federal Drug Administration May 18 asking for the product to be regulated. He said he was concerned about the brownies being labeled dietary supplements rather than food additives because dietary supplements are not required to be approved by the FDA. “The sweet, chocolaty taste may encourage consumers to eat well over a recommended quantity of melatonin,� Durbin said in his letter.

In the letter, Durbin said the cakes are not recommended for children, people with auto-immune diseases or women who are pregnant or breast feeding, and the melatonin may interact with contraceptive drugs, diabetes medications and depressants. He also said those who use the product may not recognize they are consuming neurohormones, which are hormones produced and released by neurons that affect the central nervous system.

Civil union bill goes into effect in Illinois, borderline states oppose LAUREN LEONE Daily Egyptian Although Illinois is fenced in by states which oppose civil unions between same-sex couples, it is typical for social movements to progress when one state chooses one side and the state next door does the opposite, Rev.

œœT

here is a progress of change going on ‌ where a society struggles to work its way through ‘how do we understand this’ and ‘what is the right thing?’

William Sasso said.

On June 1, Illinois joined a list of states which recognize civil unions.

— Rev. William Sasso minister of the Unitarian Fellowship Church in Carbondale

However, the state is bordered by Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana, all of which have banned

civil unions. One neighboring state, Iowa, provides recognition for same-sex couples who wish to join

into a civil union.

There are similarities between this movement and the Civil Rights Movement and Women and Equal Rights Movement in the 1950s and 60s, said Sasso, minister of the Unitarian Fellowship Church in Carbondale.

Summer camps battle enrollment issues WHITNEY WAY Daily Egyptian As an alternative to direct recruitment campaigns, SIUC colleges have created individualized summer camps to give prospective students the university experience.

“Students and their parents get to see the campus, see what the university has to offer and get a taste of college life in Carbondale,” said Rod Sievers, assistant to the chancellor and university spokesman.

SIUC colleges hold summer camps from June through August for all children under the age of 18. Each department holds camps that specialize in its particular field to give students an educational experience. Sievers said aside from a fun summer activity for kids, the camps are great for recruitment.

Sievers said university enrollment has been in decline since 2007. He said there have been many programs enacted to improve enrollment such as the University College Program, tours of the campus and the faculty being more proactive in recruitment.

Provost John Nicklow said a lot of attention has gone toward recruitment and retention efforts.

“The summer camps expose younger prospective students to new opportunities. From an educational standpoint, they show (prospective students) how the university can really benefit them,” Nicklow said.

Nicklow said the camps give participants a sense of academic life as well as the university's social environment. He said SIUC students help with many of the summer camps and act as mentors to the younger students.

The departments and colleges that offer camps over the summer include music, business, journalism, engineering, architecture, theatre and others.

“There’s a camp for just about everyone, classes and activities in every subject,” Nicklow said.

Of the various camps available, the first is the Hovercraft Camp, which begins June 6.

The camp is open to students entering and currently in high school.

According to the Division of Continuing Education website, participants will work in teams to build a functional hovercraft that can transport a pilot over land and water. They will also undergo classroom and workshop instruction on the principles of how to build and operate hovercrafts.

STEVE MATZKER | DAILY EGYPTIAN

Michael Garrison, a sophomore at DuQuoin High School, measures for a cut Monday in the Engineering Building. The plywood will become the deck for a hovercraft similar to the one in the background. Garrison, along with two other high school students, is participating in the 10-day Hovercraft Camp sponsored by SIUC’s department of technology. The three The hovercraft camp and the summer bridge program, both provided by the College of Engineering, are beneficial because they prepare students for the academic atmosphere offered by the university, said Tarnisha Green, director of Minority Engineering Programs.

"We like to let the parents know we're dedicated to helping students before they arrive at the university," Green said.

The camps help get kids interested in and acclimated to the university at a younger age, said Rachel Richey, coordinator of Undergraduate Admissions.

“Enrollment has been a big issue at the university. … Many methods of recruitment have proved to

yield positive outcomes,” Richey said.

Sievers and Nicklow both said projections for future enrollment indicate an increase.

“Since enrollment figures vary so quickly, I can’t say that enrollment is going up, but there have been signs pointing to a turnaround,” Sievers said.

Sievers said the number of admittance applications and housing contracts have gone up.

Nicklow said he was optimistic.

He said the efforts of recruitment programs and incentives should begin to pay off, and the summer camps play a huge role in attracting students.

“Recruitment is key. … The camps do a good job of teaching what the university is

about,” Nickolw said.

Richey said the summer camps are a simple way to show everything the university has to offer to students who will soon be faced with the decision of which college to go to. “(Camps) leave them with an impression,” Richey said. "They will get to increase familiarity with the school, make connections, meet friends and build relationships.”

The camps run during the entirety of the summer session and are open to high school, middle school, elementary and transfer students across the country. For details and specific requirements for the camps available, visit www.siuc.edu.

“There is a progress of change going on … where a society struggles to work its way through ‘how do we understand this’ and ‘what is the right thing?’ It’s not going to happen all neatly in one day,” he said.

Recently, a proposed bill which would ban teachers from including the topic of homosexuality in lesson plans in the classroom until the ninth grade has advanced in Tennessee’s Senate, said Virginia Dicken, coordinator of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center at SIUC. She said the Tennessee bill is part of the backlash associated with many social movements.

“It’s part of what sociologists call a moral panic,” she said.

Dicken said the Defense of Marriage Act, which was passed by

that addiction potential, you’re not going to have the same issues you have with pot.”

One issue Julian-Fralish said he has seen is people’s tendency to abuse products in general. One Lazy Cake is considered two servings, and consumers are advised to eat only half at a time. Julian Fralish said the likelihood of people following instructions with the product is rare.

He said the product is just one example of society trying to find a

simple solution for problems.

“We are the pill generation,” he said. “We want (our problems) fixed without having to work for it, but there are other natural ways to relax. I think the brownies are gimmicky.”

On his U.S. Senate website, Durbin said the logo was a main concern because it could appeal to children.

Julian-Fralish said he is also certain the product will attract children despite the packaging label

that states it is for adults only.

“Even if the marketing isn’t targeting kids, to deny that it has a draw for kids is disingenuous at the very least,” he said.

Thompson said customers who purchase Lazy Cakes range from ages 18-60.

“Lazy Cakes have had bad press, but a lot of the bad press is because people are giving them to their kids,” Thompson said. “It says ‘for adults only’ right on the logo. I

mean, children can’t come into my store legally, so I don’t sell to anyone under the age of 18.”

Durbin has not yet received a response from the FDA but will continue to take action, said Christina Mulka, his press secretary.

“It’s a hot issue, and (Durbin) wants to follow up on it,” Mulka said.

former President Bill Clinton and says the federal government does not recognize marriages between same-sex couples, was a reaction to a possible law that would have recognized same-sex relationships in Hawaii that never came to pass.

“As we see progression with relationship recognition, we are also seeing in some areas very strict laws and even constitutional amendments in some states to prohibit any such recognition,” she said.

Sasso, who joined the Unitarian Fellowship Church in Carbondale in 1999, said the church voted in 2000 to become a welcoming congregation and is recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.

“That means we affirm the value and the identity of those who understand themselves as homosexual, that we value their presence in our community,” Sasso

said. “Part of being a religious leader is speaking the truth as one understands it. I don't assume that every other religious leader agrees with me.”

The Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Unions Act will protect the rights of religious institutions to define marriage as they choose and will be available to any couple, same-sex or oppositesex, in a committed relationship who are 18 years of age or older, not in an existing marriage or civil union, and not related.

Although the bill provides some of the same state-level family rights given to married heterosexual couples such as the right to visit a sick partner in the hospital, disposition of a deceased loved one's remains and the right to make decisions about a loved one's medical care, Dicken said the same rights would not apply if the two are in another state.

“We will see problems with couples who have legal and family protections here in Illinois. They will find themselves crossing a border to visit with family or to take a vacation and suddenly not being recognized as the family units that they are,” Dicken said.

Chelcee "Chip" Loghry said she and her girlfriend, Aimee Kolbeck, were the first couple in Williamson County to get their civil union license June 1. She said she and Aimee plan to have a ceremony in July.

While their civil union will be recognized in Illinois, Loghry said she plans to attend graduate school in Florida, where same-sex civil unions and domestic partnerships are not recognized.

"There won't be any benefits that will follow us there," she said.

"So that's really going to become an issue."

Loghry said she and Kolbeck have known each other since high school and have been dating for eight years.

“Aimee doesn't get any medical benefits from my job," Loghry said. "We've been together longer than a lot of people who have been married."

Though he doesn’t know how long it will take for each state to allow civil unions or marriages for same-sex couples, Sasso said he has hope for the future.

“Sooner or later, we'll realize it doesn’t really work where we have 50 states and each has its own rules,” Sasso said. “I’m hopeful, personally, that the rules will standardize in ways that respect these relationships and the commitment they embody.”

Spirits still roam Hundley House BRANDON COLEMAN Daily Egyptian When one grows up in Carbondale, they soon discover the legend of the Hundley House, Dan Jones said.

Jones has owned Carbondale’s Hundley House, which is now a bed and breakfast, since 2008.

The site is known for its unusual occurrences such as a shower turning on by itself in the room of J. Charles Hundley, former Carbondale mayor. Jones said it was the same room he was killed in.

J.C. Hundley was shot from behind as he prepared for bed.

He later died on his way to the hospital. His wife Luella was shot to death on the back stairwell near the kitchen and was pronounced dead on the scene.

Barbara Doherty, previous tenant and daughter of Edward Vogler, said some of her friends didn’t want to stay over because of the strange happenings that were experienced in the house.

Footsteps echoed through the stairwell and down the halls whenever someone was alone in the house, and there was a loud clanging sound that vibrated from her bedroom radiator, she said.

Carbondale natives usually stop to check if they can see the ghosts of the Hundleys staring back at them from a window inside, Jones said.

He said his first encounter with sprits that haunt the house was in the room next to the one J.C. Hundley died in.

“I had just purchased a television and a Blu-ray player,” Jones said. “A friend and I went out to dinner and we cut everything

off. … When we got back, the Bluray player was on, and it was frozen on the word, ‘Welcome.’”

Strange paranormal activity is reported often in the Hundley House. A team of paranormal investigators from Discovery Channel’s Ghost Lab reported recordings of shouts to get out, footsteps and a faint gunshot that reoccurred at the same time every night.

The Hundley House was featured in the last episode of Ghost Lab to air on TV. Jones said the crews wanted to return to the house for another investigation.

The paranormal activity ranks as class A for easily audible sounds and voices that can be made out and class B for sounds and voices that are somewhat decipherable, said John Powers, a graduate student at the University of Nebraska Omaha and founder of its UFO Study Group.

Powers has been an avid paranormal investigator for more than a year in addition to studying extraterrestrial phenomena.

Haunts at the Hundley house are residually impressed upon the house and intelligent because the phenomena continually occur but occasionally change, Powers said.

“I have a good relationship with whatever entity might be here,” Jones said. “I don’t bother them and they don’t bother me.”

Jones said objects have levitated through the air, red roses have died and shriveled in the living room and a voice has whispered in his nephew’s ear.

In the Carbondale Free Press Dec. 13, 1928 issue, the press didn’t have much sympathy for J.C. Hundley and his slain wife when a

¶¶I

have a good relationship with whatever entity might be here. I don’t bother them and they don’t bother me.

story ran about their murders by an unknown assailant.

There are many reasons why the local news wasn’t too sympathetic to the Hundleys. One of them was that they resided on the edge of town at the time they were killed, Jones said. Also, the house’s architect, Francis Deacon, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, didn’t hire any local companies to supply labor or materials to construct the house. Residents may have felt shunned by Deacon’s decision to import labor from Chicago and St. Louis while importing wood material from Brazil, Jones said.

Jackie McDole, of Texas and assistant of Jones, said Hundley wasn’t very well liked and served only one term as mayor.

She also said she doesn’t believe police reports that the person who killed J.C. Hundley hid behind his headboard because it was 8 feet tall and the person would’ve had to have hidden there the majority of the day.

It was suspicious that J.C. Hundley died on the way to the hospital after being shot in the head twice while Luella was pronounced dead at the scene of the crime, Jones said.

Luella was the daughter of the founder of Herrin and had a lot of wealth to her name. When she died all of her money went to J.C. Hundley, and when he died it went to his son, Victor, and his daughter, Lola, who was in Memphis at the

— Dan Jones Hundley House owner time of the murders.

Doherty said Victor left town for a while but returned to live at Midland. However, he was reclusive upon his return.

The house changed owners multiple times after the Hundleys’ murders.

“After they were murdered here, about a little over a year later Edward Vogler, Sr. bought the house,” Jones said.

The Vogler family lived at the Hundley House from 1930 to 1971, Jones said. The house was later sold to Eugene T. Simonds, owner of E.T. Simonds Construction.

Simonds’ daughter, Milly, who was married to chiropractor Henry Nicolaides, inherited the Hundley House as a wedding gift. She then transformed the house into a shop on the first floor and apartments on the second and third floors.

“It used to be the premier shop in Carbondale,” Jones said. “Fine china and crystal — it was the highend store for gifts in Carbondale … for almost 30 years.”

Dr. Nicolaides ran a chiropractic office inside while renting out the top floors to tenants some time after the house changed hands again.

Former Carbondale Mayor Brad Cole may have rented an apartment in Hundley House for a short time, Jones said.

Jones said a couple of graduate students currently rent out the third floor. Bed and breakfast

customers can choose from three rooms on the second floor: J.C. Hundley’s room, also known as the murder room, Luella’s room and Victor’s room.

Dede Ittner, a member of Carbondale’s Historical Preservation Committee, said in 2004 she interviewed John Randall Parrish, son of sheriff John Parish of Murphysboro, who discovered the Hundleys after they were shot.

She said John Randall Parrish still has the bullets from the crime scene.

Jones said things were different in the early 1900s and officers were often allowed to keep evidence.

John Randall Parrish said he kept the shells in a cabinet in his father’s old office in Murphysboro, according to Ittner’s interview.

In a November 2007 interview Ittner had with Mary Ellen Curd Simon, Simon said her parents and grandfather were close friends with the Hundleys. She said her parents were asleep on the porch when a neighbor called to tell them that the Hundleys had been murdered.

Simon said a young woman who worked for her family was the girlfriend of Victor Hundley, and after the murder she stopped showing up to work. She said her family had no idea they were dating.

Ittner said she wondered if DNA testing could be taken today or if it would help solve the crime.

Jones said the Hundley men had a fascination with guns. J.C. Hundley killed a music teacher because he suspected him of having an affair with Luella, Victor Hundley shot his stepfather for beating his mother and Victor’s brother was shot and killed in Ohio during a race riot.

THEIR WORD

The USDA changes the food pyramid into a food plate The following editorial appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Monday, June 6: In one of those “if a tree falls in a forest� moments, the U.S. Department of Agriculture last week replaced its much-criticized and widely ignored “food pyramid� with a “food plate� chart.

Soon, all over America, grocery shoppers and restaurant diners will be able to consult a simple (you should pardon the expression) “pie� chart to determine what they should buy.

Look, honey. Don’t eat that big slab of meat. Protein takes up less than a quarter of the chart.

Thanks for telling me, dear.

Load up half my plate with fruits

and vegetables and load up a quarter of the plate with brown rice. And waiter, take away this red wine and bring me a skim milk.

With due respect to first lady Michelle Obama’s campaign against obesity and to the hardworking USDA nutritionists and graphic designers who spent $2 million to develop a circle divided into four not-quite-even parts, we doubt that Americans will pay any more attention to the food plate than they did to the food pyramid.

The amazing thing about the food pyramid is the controversy it created in its 20 years as official USDA policy, even though studies indicated most Americans paid no attention to it whatsoever.

Nutritionists criticized the influence of the farm lobbies because the pyramid didn’t distinguish between whole grains (good) and white flour (not so good). The beef industry insisted that the pyramid not discriminate against red meat. Sugared breakfast cereal, high-fat snacks and high-carbohydrate white breads qualified as foundational foods for the pyramid.

But consider: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that in 1990, the year before the pyramid debuted, no state in America had an obesity rate higher than 15 percent. By 2009, only Colorado and the District of Columbia had rates lower than 20 percent.

Will the food plate change that? Of course not. It’s intended only as part of a broader public education program. But even that won’t be enough.

Studies show that people make poor food choices because they either (a) don’t care or (b) don’t want to go to the trouble of preparing better meals or (c) can’t afford the heavy load of fresh fruits and vegetables that nutritionists recommend.

If there’s a category (d) people who don’t know the difference, it’s very small.

Indeed, a 2009 study led by a Duke University researcher suggested that providing healthy options might even backfire. “We find that simply seeing, and

perhaps briefly considering, the healthy option fulfills their need to make healthy choices, freeing the person to give in to temptation and make an unhealthy choice,� reported Gavan Fitzsimons of Duke’s Fuqua School of Business.

Since the mid-1950s, America has managed to cut cigarette smoking rates from 45 percent to about 20 percent with a combination of public education, advertising controls, high taxation and legal limits on where people could smoke. That’s what it would take to control obesity, too.

The food and farm lobbies wouldn’t stand for that, and our guess is that most Americans wouldn’t either. We’re left with a $2 million pie chart and our self-

High gas prices force students to find alternatives ASHLEIGH BROWN Daily Egyptian At almost $4 a gallon, the price of gas in the Midwest is the second highest in the nation.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration's website shows the Midwest, at $3.859 a gallon, is right behind the West Coast with an average of $4.11 a gallon as of June 6. To avoid burning holes in their pockets at the pump, many motorists are turning to cheaper forms of transportation.

Energy-efficient vehicles are a good way to save money, but they can be expensive, said Paul Restivo, director of the Center for Environmental Health and Safety. There are more

affordable options too, he said.

“Students can certainly ride their own bikes or ride the Saluki Express, which is free,” he said.

Lori Stettler, director of the Student Center, has been working with Beck Bus Company in reviewing which bus stops student use the most to make the routes more energy efficient.

Stettler said the total number of rides provided from July 2010 to May 2011 was 477,281 and student ridership is up 10 percent from this time last year.

“We can assume from these numbers that students are using these services due to the rising cost of gas,” she said.

Evan Truesdale, sales associate at Bike Surgeon, said he averages

tudents can certainly ride their own bikes or ride the Saluki Express, which is free.

about 200 miles per week on his bike.

Truesdale said he has been cycling for 11 years and has noticed a rise in bicycle sales because of high gas prices. He said people want to be less dependent on cars.

He has noticed more bicycles designed to carry more equipment, too, he said.

Truesdale also said the local government can do simple things to improve the safety of cyclists in

Carbondale. Broken glass in the bike lanes and motorists’ disregard for cyclists on the road are two major issues he said can be improved.

Cars have almost hit him on many occasions, he said.

“There are a limited number of bike lanes in the city, and drivers are unaware of cyclists,” he said.

"There is also a lack of awareness of bike laws."

When in traffic, cyclists must obey

the same signs, traffic laws and signals as motorists. They must ride in the same direction as other traffic, and motorists are required by law to allow 3 feet between them and the cyclist they pass. Truesdale said following these laws will ensure motorists' and bicyclists' safety.

Saluki Cycles, located at Base Camp in the Recreation Center, allows students to rent bicycles free of charge.

A student ID card is required, and helmets and a lock are supplied.

For students who need to make repairs on their own bicycle, the Craft Shop in the Student Center basement provides a full set of bicycle repair equipment and assistance if needed.

Wiz Khalifa smokes Summer Camp

Cameron Thomaz, better known as Wiz Khalifa, performs May 28 at the Summer Camp Music Festival.

The three-day festival, held annually in Chillicothe, started in 2001 with a small number of jamrock and bluegrass bands and has grown into a Midwestern summit for bands and patrons of all tastes and origins.

Khalifa, who has gained recent notoriety with his single “Black and Yellow,� played to a crowd of over 5,000 and gave many festival attendees the chance to discover what the Pittsburgh rapper had to offer.

The 11th installment of this microcosm of modern music offered fans the options of reggae, rock, rap and everything in between. The relatively short distance between stages allowed the opportunity for fans to experience uninterrupted

spans of multicultural music and friendly interaction.

As the sun rose over Three Sisters Park May 28, followers of the Chicagobased band Umphrey’s McGee were given the chance to play kickball with bassist Ryan Stasik. Roughly 200 gathered to watch a seemingly one-sided game filled with whiskey drinking, good-natured heckles and a select few braving the mounting mud to steal makeshift bases.

With storm systems sweeping across the state, rain caused the festival’s trails between stages to become gaping chasms of mud that stole more than one pair of flip-flops. The growing depth of mud became a major issue while navigating stages and campsites, often causing people to abandon plans and favorite bands for the comfort of folding chairs and tents.

The brave were rewarded with sets

from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Summer Camp veterans moe., Bassnectar, the Avett Brothers, Girl Talk, Widespread Panic, Yonder Mountain String Band, Big Gigantic, Cornmeal and many more.

As the event closed to the music of New York jam band celebrities moe., many made the trek to their cars, packing campsites quickly, aband+oning unwanted garbage and downing leftover alcohol to save the risk of potential encounters with the law.

With many remaining into the afternoon on Monday, the festival wrapped up to sunny skies as all in attendance parted the festival grounds a little more cultured, tanned or sunburnt and dirty.

“To be able to send athletes to a national meet year after year, that speaks a lot for him,” Deiters said. “That shows a lot of the work he does and a lot of the knowledge he has to be able to develop athletes at that level.”

Smith said this is the point in the season where all of the athletes’ hard work and effort comes into play. He said this is the most rewarding time of the season for him, and he expects nothing but the best possible effort from his team.

“You train all year for these last two events, and I expect them to perform at their best ability,” Smith said. “I would be disappointed if I didn’t have four or five athletes throwing in the tournament every year.”

Deiters, who was plagued with injuries the whole season, said it has been a rough year for him and he was unsure if he would be able to stay healthy enough to qualify for the event. He said he had to focus his time and energy to physical therapy, which has severely limited his time on the practice field.

He has been battling a hamstring injury for almost a month, and he said he was struggling with tendonitis in his elbow before that.

Deiters said preparation has been a major factor for him this season, and preparing as a team for the outdoor championships will be easier since all five of the competing Salukis have been there before.

“Everybody that is going to nationals this year, it’s at least their second time there,” Deiters said. “I think we’ve all done the most we could do to prepare both mentally and physically.”

Berry said this is the time of the season where mental strategy is used the most. She said she changed her focus from winning every meet to paying more attention to executing every throw and making the most out of each one.

Berry said she has trained extremely hard this season and is not surprised by the success she has had on the collegiate level.

She said she is ready to finish her senior year strong, and finish as a repeat All-American.

“We work hard,” Berry said. “I feel like if you work hard and get better, that’s what it’s supposed to be.”

Volleyball promotes sport though summer training clinics CORY DOWNER Daily Egyptian The Saluki volleyball team kicked off its summer clinics to the focus of training athletes with the necessary basic skills to be successful in the sport.

The clinics, which are held in Davies Gymnasium, began June 4.

The full-day camps are designed to assist athletes from grades 6-12 and provide them with specific training for all positions on the court.

Wednesday, June 8 - Tuesday, June 14, 2011

The first clinic focused on setters’ and middle hitters’ positions and provided them with professional guidance from the Saluki coaching staff.

Coach Brenda Winkeler said the clinics are designed to keep the fun and relaxed atmosphere of summer in mind while maintaining a certain level of seriousness. She said the program is fortunate to be able to use the facility they have, which allows them to separate the participants and give them the appropriate attention.

J.C. Lambert practices the hammer throw in preparation for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field Championship Monday outside of McAndrew Stadium. The championships are set for June “One thing, I think, our camps offer and that I really strive to offer is a low ratio from a counselor to a player,” Winkeler said. “We try to get a lot of individual attention and not over crowd the camp.”

Winkeler said she has been encouraged by the increasing number of participants in the four years the program has offered the clinics.

One previous participant is Jessica Whitehead, a sophomore from Murphysboro, who took the camp’s training and joined the Saluki volleyball team. She is now one of the summer clinics’ counselors.

Whitehead said she is fortunate to have the opportunity to give back to the community and help counsel the players the same way she was in the past. She said she participated in all of the clinics and over-night camps she could when she

was younger and it helped her become the athlete she is today.

Because the clinic offers training to a wide-range age group, Whitehead said it is important to make sure the campers focus on one thing at a time and don’t put too much pressure on themselves. She said it is also crucial for the players to walk away with a positive thought of how they did at the clinic.

“Just tell them not to focus on one thing at a time so they don’t get frustrated,” Whitehead said. “All the campers did good. They were vocal and loud, and we all had a lot of fun.”

While mixing up the drills and rewarding the campers with candy keeps them interested in the clinic, assistant coach Peter Chang said it is important for the coaches to put an emphasis on the sport’s fundamentals

and to teach proper technique, particularly to the younger age group.

He said the basics are imperative to succeed in any sport, and the clinics offered provide the players with an opportunity to progress regardless of the level of experience.

“Like all other sports, fundamentals are very important because it is pretty much the base for everything,” Chang said. “The better you’re at with the fundamentals, the better you’re going to be in the future.”

The Saluki volleyball program still has two more clinics and two overnight camps left this summer for interested players. The clinics will be held June 11 and 18. The first one will focus on outside hitters and the second will specialize on defensive techniques. The overnight camps will be held June 19-21 and July 13-15.

Germany backtracks on sprouts as E. coli source KIRSTEN GRIESHABER Associated Press First they pointed a finger at Spanish cucumbers. Then they cast suspicion on sprouts from Germany.

Now German officials appear dumbfounded as to the source of the deadliest E. coli outbreak in modern history, and one U.S. expert called the investigation a “disaster.�

Backtracking for the second time in a week, officials Monday said preliminary tests have found no evidence that vegetable sprouts from an organic farm in northern Germany were to blame.

The surprise U-turn came only a day after the same state agency, Lower Saxony’s agriculture ministry, held a news conference to announce that the sprouts appeared to be the culprit in the outbreak that has killed 22 people and sickened more than 2,330 others across Europe, most of them in Germany, over the past month.

Andreas Hensel, head of Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, warned, “We have to be clear on this: Maybe we won’t be able anymore to identify the source.�

Last week, German officials pointed to tainted cucumbers from Spain as a possible cause, igniting

vegetable bans and heated protests from Spanish farmers, who suffered heavy financial losses. Researchers later concluded the Spanish cucumbers were contaminated with a different strain of E. coli. “This investigation has been a disaster,� Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, told The Associated Press. “This kind of wishy-washy response is incompetent,� he said, accusing German authorities of casting suspicion on cucumbers and sprouts without firm data.

The European Union’s health commissioner defended German investigators, saying they were under extreme pressure as the crisis unfolded. “We have to understand that people in certain situations do have a responsibility to inform their citizens as soon as possible of any danger that could exist to them,�

John Dalli said in Brussels.

In outbreaks it is not unusual for certain foods to be suspected at first, then ruled out.

In 2008 in the U.S., raw tomatoes were initially implicated in a nationwide salmonella outbreak.

Consumers shunned tomatoes, costing the tomato industry

millions. Weeks later, jalapeno peppers grown in Mexico were determined to be the cause.

In 2006, lab tests mistakenly pointed to green onions in an E. coli outbreak at Taco Bell restaurants in the U.S. Investigators considered cheddar cheese and ground beef as the source before settling on lettuce.

With the culprit in the European crisis still a mystery, authorities stopped short of giving sprouts a clean bill of health. German Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner reiterated the warning against eating sprouts, as well as tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce, which have also come under suspicion.

The agriculture ministry for Lower-Saxony state said 23 samples from the organic sprouts farm tested negative for the highly aggressive, “super-toxic� strain of E. coli that is killing people, with tests on 17 more samples still under way. “A conclusion of the investigations and a clarification of the contamination’s origin is not expected in the short term,� the ministry said.

However, the negative test results do not mean that previous sprout batches weren’t contaminated. “Contaminated food could have been completely processed and sold

by now,� ministry spokeswoman Natascha Manski said.

In that case, the number of people stricken might keep rising for at least another week as the produce that could be causing the infections may have already been delivered to restaurants and grocery stores.

More than 630 of the victims are hospitalized with a rare, serious complication that can lead to kidney failure.

In a major difference from other E. coli outbreaks, women — who tend to eat more fresh produce — are by far the most affected this time, said Germany’s national disease control center, the Robert Koch Institute. The majority of them are between 20 and 50 years old and tend to be highly educated, very fit, and lead healthy lifestyles, Friedrich Hagenmueller of Asklepios Hospital in Hamburg said. “What do they have in common?

They are thin, clean, pictures of health,� he said.

Ulrike Seinsche is one of the women diagnosed with the serious complication that can lead to kidney failure. “I really got scared when the blood results came and were so bad and the doctors became hectic,� she said from her hospital bed in Hamburg. She

was quickly transferred into intensive care, got cramps and suffered “real death fear,� she said. “Now, I’m actually stable.�

Osterholm, whose team has investigated a number of foodborne outbreaks in the U.S., said authorities should trace foods back to their suppliers — which is exactly what led German officials to single out the sprout producer, linking it to several restaurants where more than 50 people fell ill.

Since 1996, about 30 outbreaks of foodborne illness in the U.S. have been linked to raw or lightly cooked sprouts. Sprouts were also implicated in a 1996 E. coli outbreak in Japan that killed 12 people and reportedly sickened more than 9,000.

At an EU health ministers meeting Monday in Luxembourg, Germany defended itself against accusations it had acted prematurely in pointing to Spanish cucumbers. “The virus is so aggressive that we had to check every track,�

Health State Secretary Annette Widmann-Mauz said.

The EU will hold an emergency meeting of farm ministers Tuesday to address the crisis, including a ban imposed by Russia on all EU vegetables.

Mexico seizes 154 rifles from buried cartel cache E. EDUARDO CASTILLO Associated Press Mexican soldiers found a buried cache of weapons apparently stockpiled by a drug cartel, including 154 rifles and shotguns and more than 92,000 rounds of ammunition, the Defense Department said Friday, June 3.

The cache included four mortar shells, two rocketpropelled grenades, dozens of assault rifles, sniper rifles and

two bows.

It was found in an underground chamber at a ranch near the industrial city of Monclova in the northern state of Coahuila earlier this week and included more than 4,600 rifle magazines, army Gen. Edgar Luis Villegas said. He did not specify what day.

Villegas said the weapons apparently belonged to the Zetas cartel, which has been fighting the Sinaloa cartel and other drug gangs for control of the border state.

The seizure suggests that despite efforts to crack down on weapons trafficking in Mexico, drug cartels are still able to obtain enough weapons to keep stockpiles in reserve.

It was not the first such mass seizure in recent months. In May, soldiers seized 83 assault rifles and shotguns, five grenade launchers and more than 18,000 bullets as well as hand grenades and 18 pistols following a confrontation with a 17-vehicle convoy of suspected cartel

gunmen in the northern border state of Tamaulipas.

In December, soldiers in the northern state of Durango seized a cache of 84 rifles and 46 pistols, including one assault rifle with gold-colored inlays and another that had a grenade-launcher attachment.

Also on Friday, the federal Attorney General’s Office said authorities in the Pacific port of Manzanillo seized 69 tons (63 metric tons) of two chemicals used to make synthetic drugs.

The chemicals arrived on two ships from Shanghai.

The Mexican navy said 34 tons (31 metric tons) of monomethylamine arrived May 6, and the other ship carrying 35 tons (32 metric tons) of ethyl phenyl acetate arrived April 10.

Mexico has banned imports of several chemicals to thwart methamphetamine production.

The U.S. government says Mexican traffickers are the main suppliers of synthetic drugs to the United States.

Pope denounces ‘disintegration’ of European families NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press Pope Benedict XVI wrapped up his visit to Croatia on Sunday, June 5 by denouncing the “disintegration� of family life in Europe and calling for couples to make a commitment to marry and have children, not just live together.

Benedict stressed traditional Catholic family values, including opposition to abortion, during an open-air Mass attended by about 400,000 people at Zagreb’s hippodrome, the highlight of his trip to mark the local church’s national day of families.

T Â

he sun shone through the clouds in the morning as Benedict celebrated Mass before a crowd of flag-waving faithful whose numbers exceeded estimates of 300,000 and whose devotion seemed to deeply impress the pontiff.

The faithful, who came in droves from across Croatia and surrounding countries, arrived before dawn at the field muddied by overnight thunderstorms.

Another fierce thunderstorm, when the pope was about to fly back to Rome in the evening, forced the departure ceremony at the airport to be hastily moved from the planned tarmac venue to inside a hangar. Benedict arrived safely back in Rome the night of June 5.

The sun shone through the clouds in the morning as Benedict celebrated Mass before a crowd of flag-waving faithful whose numbers exceeded estimates of 300,000 and whose devotion seemed to deeply impress the pontiff. Later, Benedict prayed before the tomb of a Croatian World War II-era cardinal hailed by Catholics for opposing communism but criticized by Jews for sympathizing with the Nazis.

It was Benedict’s first visit as pope to Croatia, an

overwhelmingly Catholic Balkan nation that is poised to soon join the European Union. The Vatican has strongly supported its bid, eager to see another country with shared values join the 27-member bloc and help Benedict’s project of rekindling Europe’s sense of its Christian heritage.

Yet while Croatia is nearly 90 percent Catholic, it allows some legal rights for same-sex couples and, thanks to leftover communist-era legislation,

permits abortion up to 10 weeks after conception and thereafter with the consent of a special commission of doctors.

Elsewhere in Europe, including in Italy, marriages are on the decline as more and more people choose to just live together.

In his homily, Benedict lamented the “increasing disintegration of the family, especially in Europe� and urged young couples to resist “that secularized mentality which proposes living together as a preparation, or even a substitute for marriage.� “Do not be afraid to make a commitment to another person!� he said.

Throwers prepare for heavy competition CORY DOWNER Daily Egyptian In the final stop before the national tournament in Eugene, Ore., five Salukis will participate in the NCAA Outdoor Championships held at Drake University.

Four of those five who qualified for the event will participate in throwing competitions, and all four are returning All-Americans.

The only exception to the group is two-time crosscountry All-American senior

Jeff Schirmer will take part in the 10,000-meter run. The championships start June 8 in Des Moines, Iowa and will conclude June 12.

With the exception of Schirmer, the Salukis will participate in a combined six throwing events,

with senior Gwen Berry and junior Jeneva McCall throwing in both the shot put and hammer throw competitions. Junior J.C. Lambert will compete in the hammer throw and junior Jake Deiters will compete in the discus.

Deiters, who currently holds

the second-best discus throw in SIU history, said much of the success the throwers have had this season is due to throws coach John Smith, and the team is lucky to have him on its side.
