Family Weekend came back to Southern Illinois University at Carbondale from Sept. 24 through 26 with a variety of events on campus for students including karaoke, Greek activities and a tailgate before the Saluki football game.

Carly Holtkamp, the assistant director of the Office of Student Engagement, said they have had family weekend at SIU for about fifteen years.

“Family Weekend is a chance to get students’ families back on campus,” Holtkamp said.

“We hope that this is a chance [for students] to see their parents, grandparents and siblings, whoever Bryce Notree, linebacker, it is that is celebrates after SIU intercepts coming to a pass by Illinois State University see them Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021 at Saluki and a Stadium in Carbondale, Ill.

variety of things for students and parents to enjoy from bowling, craft sales and karaoke.

According to Holtkamp, they were not able to have Family Weekend in person last year due to COVID so they had to change it to a virtual event.

“We didn’t do it in person on campus because of COVID-19 we didn’t feel it was appropriate

and legacy, so it’s always good to have them come back and see where they went to school years ago,” Lane said. “It’s overall the weekend to reconnect.”

Lane also said they intended on following the COVID safety guidelines all throughout the weekend.

Q&A with Interim Athletic Director Matt Kupec ‘The buck does stop here’

Brandyn Wilcoxen | @Brandyn_2020

Athletic Director Liz Jarnigan’s firing on the night of Sept. 9 looms large over the SIU athletic department. When Matt Kupec was contacted by Chancellor Austin Lane and offered the position of Interim AD, he said he understood the weight of the task he would be taking on.

“I’m really here to make sure everything’s stabilized,” Kupec said. “Creating a good support system for our coaches, for our student athletes. The buck does stop here. There is someone in the lead who works with the Chancellor very closely.”

A former quarterback for the University of North Carolina, Kupec has since built a career in higher education. In addition to being the Interim AD, Kupec also holds the position of CEO of the SIU Foundation.

“I’ve got a lot of leadership experience,” Kupec said. “I enjoy people. I think that’s really important.

I love being around people, I love working with people. I love working with the university folks, and the community.”

Kupec’s hiring comes off the heels of Jarnigan’s exit, shortly after which The Daily Egyptian reported abuse allegations involving the women’s swim and dive team.

Due to the ongoing nature of the investigations into those allegations, Kupec did not share information beyond what the university has previously reported.

However, he expressed optimism for the process.

“We’re not gonna rush it. We’re gonna do it the right way, and we’re looking forward to getting through it. […],” Kupec said. “I feel good about the way it’s being conducted, and when they’ve done their thorough look into it, they’ll come back to us with a report.”

With all eyes on the top of the athletic department, Kupec sought to turn the focus towards the athletes themselves. He highlighted the work Salukis do in the classroom and in the community.

“Athletics is a lot about story-telling,” Kupec said.

“We have games and outcomes, but there’s so much good, [...] even in a time of some turmoil and some news out there, there’s so many good things that go on.”

Kupec has an optimistic outlook on his new position. The former Gator Bowl and Liberty Bowl MVP said he truly appreciates his new colleagues.

“I have great respect for the people in this department. We’ve got great coaches, incredible student athletes, your colleagues that you probably see across campus, and we’ve got a great, really really wonderful program,” Kupec said.

That positivity extends to the players as well.

Kupec, a former student athlete, said he knows what it means to play for his school, and his experiences around the Salukis point to signs of a bright future in Carbondale.

“I’ve been blown away, so impressed with the quality of our student athletes,” Kupec said. “It’s fun having conversations with them, how intelligent they are, how they present so well, how they represent our university.”

Despite being named Interim Athletic Director, Kupec did not express desire to keep the position permanently. Chancellor Lane previously announced a nationwide search for a new AD shortly after Jarnigan’s firing, and Kupec said he believes SIU will attract good candidates for the position.

“It’s one of the better jobs in Division I, in athletics, so we anticipate really good interest, a really good candidate pool.”

While the search remains ongoing, no updates could be provided. The university plans to hire an experienced search firm tasked with finding candidates from across the country. The search is set to conclude by January.

“We’re in the midst of putting together a search committee, and I think they’ll help with the selection of that search firm, so nothing’s been confirmed yet,” Kupec said.

Kupec, who will continue work at the SIU Foundation during his tenure, cited it as a great fundraiser for university activities, including athletics.

As of Sept. 2021, the Forever SIU campaign has raised $135 million towards its goal of $200 million

by June 2024.

“We’ve done really well these last couple of years, even in Covid, we’ve been record breaking years,” Kupec said. “And a big part of it is 19% of the goal is towards athletics.”

Ultimately, Kupec said he believes Saluki athletics is in a good place, thanks to the coaches, players, and staff that were in place before he came in and will continue to contribute long after a permanent replacement is found.

“We’re doing very well on the field and the courts and what have you, but it’s the championship kind of outcomes that we experience in the classroom and the community that go along with the playing field.

And with that, I think there’s a very bright future for Saluki athletics.”

The Daily Egyptian reached out for comment regarding abuse allegations of former athletes to swim and dive team coach Geoff Hanson and Jarnigan and received no response.

Lost Cross 35th anniversary was a two-day event that had musical performances at venues across the city on Saturday , Sept. 25, 2021 in Carbondale, Illinois. Jared Treece | @bisalo Kiersten Owens | kowens@dailyegyptian.com

After nearly two years without shows, Lost Cross celebrated its 35th anniversary Sept. 24-25 in Carbondale. Bands from all around played shows at The Lost Cross House, The Hangar 9, PK’s.

The Lost Cross House sits on the corner of W. Elm and Beveridge Streets and has been holding shows in its basement since 1986. Basement shows are the backbone of Midwest punk culture and Carbondale has been the home of many basement show houses since the ‘80s.

The anniversary shows were met with enthusiastic crowds, and the energy on the streets of Carbondale was electric. In order to allow for social distancing, all concerts were held on stages outside and people were encouraged to wear a mask.

All of the shows’ proceeds went directly to funding repairs for the Lost Cross House. Throughout the pandemic, artists, venues and people who enjoy live music have been hindered. This anniversary weekend was a celebration of reunion after a difficult year.

Basement show culture in the Midwest was formed as a response to the environment. Adam Fletcher, member of The Copyrights, has been involved with Lost Cross since he was a teenager in 1991.

“We have a perfectly good basement down there that we might as well have a band play,” he said.

This ‘do it yourself’ mentality shows the strong will of people who want to enjoy music together.

Basements are an intimate performance space. As shows take place in people’s homes, it calls for closer relationships among people as well as more respect for their surroundings. Basement shows are also a safe space for art. In a basement, there is no criteria for a ‘good’ band and a majority of the people performing do so simply for their love of music.

Fletcher said the Lost Cross basement has held many bands using it as a safe space to practice and grow. “It’s definitely a place for people to practice and hone their skills,” he said, “I don’t know where we would be if that wasn’t available for us whenever we were younger.

The creation of the basement show houses in Carbondale is credited to the student body of SIU and the need for those students to express themselves.

Mike Kartje, a faculty member and former member of the band Diet Christ said, “The students who were attracted to SIU at the time seemed to be more interested in social activities and prioritized the arts.”

After working hard in academics, students need a way to decompress.The basement shows are an outlet for students to show their creativity and make connections with other students they normally wouldn’t talk to in the classroom. These connections have the possibility to last a lifetime.

Kartje said, “I am still friends with everyone that I hung around with back then.”

Basement shows had to stop during the pandemic. The inability to perform music caused artists from Carbondale and all around to experience a quiet and lonely year.

Rick Carny, a current member of Jesus Christ Superfly said, “After playing gigs for forty years of my life, all of a sudden one thing I looked forward to and was a constant wasn’t there anymore.”

Jesus Christ Superfly played its last pandemic live show in February of 2020 and just recently played its first returning live show this summer before appearing at Lost Cross for the anniversary celebration.

Artists often rely on their music performances financially, and emotionally. Not being able to share their art and have others experience it face-to-face took away the greatest reward an artist receives.

Cam Prokaski and Josey Blumenshine, both freshmen at SIU, were in attendance for the anniversary, admiring the artwork on the walls within the Lost Cross House.

“I’m just happy to experience live music again,” Prokaski said.

He would later head-bang with the crowd while watching Near Death Experience, a band formed at Lost Cross.

The weekend was filled with both smiles and tears as people were happy to experience live music again and artists were thrilled to perform after a tough year of social distancing. Without art, the routine of life, work and school can seem mundane. Musicians, artists and audiences alike showed they are thankful for Lost Cross.

SIU law professors weigh in on current constitutional challenges William Box | @william17455137

On Sept. 17, five law professors at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIU-C) convened in a panel to discuss their opinions on recent constitutional arguments on topics including reproductive rights and the extent of Fourth Amendment protections.

The panel was scheduled in honor of Constitution Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution in 1787, and was broadcast for public view on the SIU-C Chancellor’s YouTube channel. Members of the panel were chosen by the students of five different law classes that also chose five cases pertaining to current social issues including those being ruled on by the Supreme Court in its coming session which begins Oct. 4.

Camille Davidson, dean of the SIU-C school of law, presented the case of Dobbs v.

Jackson Women’s Health.

Davidson said the case was first filed in 2018 in Mississippi immediately following the passage of the state’s Gestational Age Act, which outlawed abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape or incest.

“This fall, the court will consider whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortion are unconstitutional,” Davidson said. “This is the first time the court will rule on pre-viability since Roe [v. Wade].”

Viability in this case refers to the point of gestation in which a fetus has the ability to live outside of its mother.

Davidson said the Mississippi case comes at the same time as the recent bill from Texas.

This bill ruled all who receive abortions in the state after the development of fetal cardiac activity, occurring at approximately six weeks, and all who aid or abet in the act, are liable in private courts for $10,000 and attorney’s fees.

She said both the Gestational Age Act and the Texas bill are seen as challenges to the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade.

“This will affect people who do not have the means to travel to the jurisdictions where this procedure is available,” Davidson said. “Of course this overwhelmingly affects poor people and people of color.”

Davidson said the question of viability is one that clouds the conversation surrounding abortion. She said general consensus around the age of viability at the time of Roe was approximately 28 weeks and has since been reduced to 20 weeks.

“I think when we start to look at what things might look like in the future, I think we may scale back on the hard lines,” Davidson said.

“I think we’ll see some restrictions that may mirror what some polls suggest. They say 75% of the population believe in some form of reproductive access to abortion.”

Davidson said the difficult part will come from the state-to-state implementation of such a right. She said Mississippi already has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, requiring at least two in-person clinic visits and a minimum 24 hour waiting period on procedures, as well as state mandated bias counseling before the procedure can be performed.

“So the pre-viability regulations can pass constitutional muster, if they don’t pose an undue burden, which of course requires the weighing of the state interest to the woman’s elective right,” Davidson said. “But if it is a ban, previability bans are unconstitutional, regardless of the state’s interest.”

Benjamin Bricker, as associate professor of

political science at SIU-C, spoke on the case of Caniglia v. Strom.

Bricker said the events in question began when Edward Caniglia of Rhode Island presented his wife with a handgun and told his wife to kill him. Bricker said she refused, left to stay the night in a hotel and called the police to perform a wellness check on him. When the police arrived, Caniglia was sitting on his porch and accepted a mental health check on the grounds that his personal firearms will not be seized while he is gone.

Bricker said when Caniglia was taken in an ambulance, the police entered his home and seized his firearms while claiming they were acting within the bounds of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure.

Bricker said they believed police were working within the jurisdiction of their jobs under the “community caretaking exception” established in the Cady v. Dombrowski case of 1973. This exception allows police to perform unwarranted searches of vehicles if they believe the vehicle contains a threat to the community, but this protection, as ruled in Caniglia, does not include searches of the home.

“The Circuit Court and the District Court ruled in favor of the police,” Bricker said. “But the Supreme Court, actually with little evidence, unanimously overturned the ruling.”

Bricker said this ruling affects the police by preventing officers from being able to enter a home or even open the door to a home without potentially violating the Fourth Amendment.

He said this applies in the event of a welfare check or during a mental health episode.

“This ruling makes it tougher for the police to do some of their non-explicitly crime fighting job,” Bricker said. “The case is really important because it’s the opening to hopefully what will be a new round of cases that deal with a new round of potentially immediate circumstances or to potentially expand that community caretaking assumption.”

Bricker said the ruling will also make it more difficult for police to enforce laws put in place to permit the removal of firearms from an individual if they can be reasonably shown to be a danger to themselves or others. These are known as red flag laws.

“In this case, it’s not without reason for officers to believe that he might harm himself or others,” Bricker said. “It’s not completely unreasonable that they would want to go inside his home, but the Court is strongly saying that, without a warrant, you cannot enter the home in these circumstances.”

Bricker said when a red flag law is triggered, the permission that is received to confiscate a firearm is not technically considered a warrant.

He said this means police would be precluded from entering a home to exercise these laws, despite having received legal permission to do so. He said this presents a clear challenge to the constitutionality of red flag laws and expects to see additional challenges in the future under the current court.

The other topics discussed by the panel included immigration rights, Second Amendment protections, and sexual orientation and gender identity rights. The full panel discussion is available for public viewing on the SIU Chancellor Youtube page.

Off The Rails

returns “It is a great event, in a great atmosphere, and it is just really rad…

It is a free show. Can’t beat that...”

- Jason Ringenberg Singer / Songwriter

Radio Free Honduras performs their music on stage Sept. 24, 2021 at the Off the Rails concert series in Carbondale, Ill. Kylen Lunn | kylen.lunn@siu.edu Janiyah Gaston | @janiyah_reports

The concert series Off The Rails made a comeback Sept. 24 with a new lineup.

For this line up, they had Radio Free Honduras, Jason Ringenberg and Hugh DeNeal and company.

Roni LeForge, the public relations officer, said she received positive feedback from the attendees that came to the last concert in August.

“The night of the concert we were getting Facebook messages and comments on our page asking when the concert would be,” LeForge said.

LeForge said that people who attended the concert in August were hoping the concert would become a weekly event, but LeForge said they are just going to start slowly.

Dan Abu-Absi of Radio Free Honduras said that it was their first time performing in Carbondale, but they anticipated people would enjoy their set.

“We do mostly original music. It is mostly high energy and upbeat and danceable, so if people are in a mood to dance, then that always makes it a lot of fun,” Abu-Absi said.

Jason Ringenberg, a singer songwriter, who also attended SIU, said he was excited for people to come out and enjoy the concert.

“It is a great event, in a great atmosphere, and it is just really rad … It is a free show.

Can’t beat that, and a night of music we are gonna have Hugh and the Honduras band, and I think it will be a great night of music,” Ringerburg said.

This time around, Off the Rails was not just a concert event. It was also one of the events for Spanish Latinex Heritage month.

Cristina Castillo, the coordinator of the SIU Latin American Student Association and Hispanic Latino Resource Center, said collaborating with Off the Rails was a great way to showcase diversity and bring people together.

“Let’s do something festive Latino you bring in a band which is a Spanish band

from Honduras. We have the Latino Student Association from SIU, and so we have the exhibit with all of the items that they brought from the different countries,” Castillo said.

Castillo also said the event is a great way to promote diversity in the Carbondale area.

Castillo said by working with the city and different organizations, they can show off the different cultures we have in Carbondale as a way for minority student groups to feel embraced in the community.

“We have more people in the community than the student population, and it is really great that they are coming to events like this, and so I think that showing that support it is also showing we want more of this,” Castillo said.

SIU Athletic Department getting rid of student hands-on positions

Joseph Bernard | @jojobernard2001

In order to cut some costs, Saluki Athletics has gotten rid of some hands-on student positions within the athletic department’s video production department.

The Missouri Valley Conference and the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network are currently in the middle of a 10-year deal to produce student-staffed telecasts to air on some of ESPN’s streaming services. These productions include coverage of different sports including, soccer, volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball.

These productions give students the opportunity to get experience with a wide variety of different positions that go into a live telecast. Students can get their hands on replay, camerawork, graphics, and audio training with each broadcast. However, the cuts are affecting student’s abilities to work in some of these positions, and are leaving students with fewer opportunities than there had been in years past.

Dennis Galloway, a senior lecturer in the RTD department at SIU, is the director of these studentstaffed telecasts. Galloway said the changes are to move SIU towards a new and different format for their broadcasts.

“Things have been happening within the last year as a means to save some costs where we do what’s called REMI productions, which stand for Remote Integration. Everything used to originate from Carbondale: cameras, replays, graphics, stuff like that.

Now using the internet, we’re sending our cameras to Kansas City in a control room,” Galloway said.

This means that specific positions within the production truck, including replay, graphics, and audio operators will no longer be staffed by SIU students. Instead these positions will now be staffed by employees that the production company, LTN media, hand picks for experience within their headquarters.

From the university’s point of view, the changes are a great idea in order to save on costs, but for students looking to get more experience in this field of study, it could be a huge disadvantage in their field of study.

Junior radio, television, and digital media major, Matthew Koss, is one of several students directly affected by the changes. Koss got substantial time as a camera and replay operator for a large number of ESPN telecasts within the university. With the new decision to go to REMI productions, Koss will no longer be able to receive the well-rounded experience he once had.

“I definitely miss it now,” Koss said “I definitely could see myself doing that later on, but that’s a lot of the reason why I find myself so disappointed with a lot of the positions moving to Kansas City, because I wanted to learn bits and pieces of the truck to see what I liked. I was looking forward to learning other things to really see if that’s what I wanted to do.”

Koss said that he’ll miss being able to learn all the different positions, as well as the relationships he made with the other workers in the production truck “I miss the opportunity to learn more because I wanted to learn what the technical director does and I’m kinda sad I don’t get to do that now. You get a taste of the camaraderie also. We wouldn’t just be doing our jobs, we would be screwing around with

each other and stuff and it was fun being in that space with people,” Koss said.

Students aren’t the only ones being affected by some of the changes in a negative way. Galloway said some of the communication between him and the new employees within ESPN have made things a bit more complicated.

“In the past, it was a lot easier to make changes, communicate things, make corrections, but with part of the crew being in Kansas City, that line of communication is compromised a little bit. It’s not as easy to do the production as well as we can. It’s been a bit of a challenge for the learning curve of the people in Kansas City and for myself not having done these sorts of productions before,” Galloway said.

Although some of the positions within the production truck will be eliminated for students, there are still opportunities for experience in different types of environments similar to the production truck at SIU. With every broadcast SIU does with ESPN, the stadiums also have their own broadcast feed that gets put on the video board at either the Banterra Center, or Saluki Stadium. The coordinator of Video Services at SIU, Brad Gray, is in charge of these telecasts within the stadium. Gray said there are still a large number of opportunities available to students within the scoreboard productions in stadiums.

“There are some things you might not be able to get your hands on as often, but there are still opportunities.

It might not be directed towards an ESPN broadcast, but a lot of those things work towards the video board and ESPN together,” Gray said.

He said students interested in sporting productions

will still find plenty to do.

“You can run a camera, be an announcer, do something at the scorer’s table to call the action, that stuff is still here. You can still do video on the truck and shade cameras and stuff. There are still opportunities, some of them might not be in the same presence that it was,” Gray said.

Galloway said sports-oriented students need to get as active as possible, but he ackowledges something will be lacking.

“I had to go through the proper steps of learning the different positions, which ultimately made me a better director. With the way things are now, students aren’t going to get that same sort of experience, at least not out here. We were able to better prepare the students in the past. They’ll still have opportunities presented to them in the job world, but not quite as well-rounded as it had been in the past,” Galloway said.

Koss said he used the opportunity in the truck to try out as many positions as he could get his hands on.

“It’s nice to test the water while you’re in school, and that’s what this is for. When you’re out of school you have to know what you want to do. I want to use that experience to figure out what I want to do in the truck by the time I’m done with college,” Koss said.

Gray says the program still has plenty to offer.

“I want it to be a learning experience for students and to be able to get their hands on things and although it might be a little different, there are still plenty of opportunities,” Gray said Sports reporter Joseph Bernard can be reached at joseph.l.bernard@siu.edu or on twitter @Jojobernard2001.

September highlights importance of Deaf culture and community

Carolyn Dicket | carolynd@dailyegyptian.com

September is Deaf Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the history of Deaf culture, and to continue to work on advocating for the rights of deaf communities.

“Every year we do a movie based on Deaf culture and a picnic. That way people can eat, and sign at the same time,” said Luiie Barrera, president of the American Sign Language Club at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. “This year we’re going to try to do more events that are deaf friendly.”

According to the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association, there are also many different degrees of hearing loss that can be treated based on the level of damage caused to someone’s ability to hear.

Braden Eaton, a former member of the ASL club at SIU-C, said he wanted to learn sign language to help include other people, and be able to have conversations with them.

“So being in the ASL club allows them to learn little pieces of the alphabet, ‘hello, good morning,’ little tiny stuff you would teach little kids,” Eaton said. “It actually makes a Deaf person’s day even better because it shows you’re trying to learn another language, and that you’re respecting it.”

Barrera encourages people to learn ASL, even if it’s just the alphabet.

“Learn some basic phrases, ‘How are you?’ It will brighten up that person’s day” Barrera said. “Because that person knows that a hearing person is learning their form of communication.”

Brittany Frederick, an assistant lecturer and American Sign Language section head, said she first learned ASL from a friend’s sister who was Deaf.

Frederick said she loved learning the language, and decided to become an interpreter. Now, Frederick teaches ASL classes at SIU-C. When teaching ASL, Frederick uses games to engage her students.

“I will try to incorporate games so it’s hands-on learning, when they’re practicing to learn numbers, I play Go Fish because they’re doing something fun and entertaining but they have to do the whole thing silently,” Frederick said.

Frederick said it’s important not to assume deaf people can’t hear at all.

“Don’t talk about a person just because you think they can’t hear you,” Frederick said. “ That’s very very rude. It’s rude to talk about people in general, but especially when you assume they can’t hear you.”

Frederick said she wants to make sure that the Deaf community is respected, just like any other hearing person.

Frederick said there are many different

ways students can learn ASL, even if it’s just the manual alphabet or simple phrases.

Frederick said technology has become very helpful to the Deaf community, especially when speaking to someone who doesn’t know sign language because not only can you communicate using chat features of typing out conversations, but social media also plays a large part in spreading awareness.

Barrera said if you’re familiar with Tik Tok, searching “Deaf people” or “ASL,” will provide you with some basic information about sign language. A couple of popular Tik Tokers who give ASL lessons, spread awareness, and are just comfortable talking about their Deafness are @slntworlddd and @jacelyn.fincher.

The ASL club hosts “Table Talks,” meetings that encourage the use of ASL. These meetings are held every Wednesday and Friday from 6-7 p.m. in the Student Center in activity room A. Editor’s note: Some, but not all, members of the Deaf community prefer to capitalize the word Deaf when referring to people, culture and communities. We are honoring that preference here.

“There’s got to be a mask on at all times and outdoors you don’t have to. That’s the state’s guidelines. So outdoors since we’re in phase five is you don’t have to wear a mask outside,” Lane said.

Taylor Lawrence, a sophomore at SIU, said she was excited to see her parents and go to the football game.

For the first day of Family Weekend, the student center hosted different events from craft sales, karaoke and bowling.

Off the Rails, the newest concert series in Carbondale, was held at the Washington Street Venue on Sept.

24th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. (See story on Page 5.)

The lineup for the concert had different bands for families to enjoy such as Radio Free Honduras, Jason Ringenberg, and Hugh DeNeal and company.

On Saturday, the different fraternities and sororities hosted Greek Sing where they performed skits, songs and dances.

Before the football game against Illinois State University, a tailgate was held at Saluki Row for parents and students to hangout.

Family Weekend is a way for students and parents to reconnect and spend time together since students have been away at school for so long.

“Hang out on campus with their son and daughter at a place that they attended 20 or 30 years ago. That’s what’s special about it, is that they can do that, and have the memories and create a legacy,” Lane said.

Driving sustainable food economies in southern Illinois Camela Morre | cmoore@dailyegyptian.com Food Works, a local non-profit, is dedicated to creating farming networks across Southern Illinois to foster sustainable communities across 23 different counties.

The organization employs a localized approach in efforts to achieve this goal through various community outreach programs between farmers, patrons and volunteers.

In addition to the 23 Illinois counties, Food Works sponsors programs in Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky and Missouri.

Food Works is hoping to further its outreach by sponsoring various events including the Carbondale Winter Farmers Market, The Farming Alliance and Farm Beginnings, which are all managed under the organization.

The Carbondale Winter Farmers Market takes place from Dec. 4, 2021 through March 26, 2022 at 1237 E. Main Street inside of the University Mall.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients who shop at the market are eligible for the Illinois Link Match program.

Patrons can use their LINK cards in exchange for wooden tokens at the information table right outside the door.

These tokens can be used to match an additional $1 for every $1 spent using SNAP benefits, up to $25.

“If a snap customer spent $10 of their snap at the market we would give them $10 of coupons for freshly produced vegetables so essentially they’re

doubling their food dollars at the farmers market,” Paulson said.

The additional fruit and vegetables distributed with coupons not only help patrons gain more access to fresh food but also assists farmers in selling out their products.

Building sustainable food systems requires more than just participation from market goers and farmers.

“We use and rely on volunteers to make a lot of the programs work, so anything from helping us put up flyers, to helping us reach places where SNAP recipients could see our programs help,” Paulson said.

Due to the help of volunteers, Food Works is able to offer more than just goods at the market.

There are also opportunities for patrons to explore aspects of proper nutrition and food security at this event.

“They might find that they can learn a lot about local food and maybe get a little… a bit of food along the way just by visiting the farmers market” Paulson said.

Kim Reese is a Food Works volunteer and SIUC student who plans to help patrons learn more about food this upcoming season.

Reese plans on holding cooking demonstrations, health and nutrition talks, as well as activities aimed at children.

Her talks plan to cover a variety of topics including information on diseases, exercise as well as demonstrations on how to prepare fresh produce from the market that week.

With the threat of Covid, Food Works has also

worked to make the event safer for patrons.

Over the past season, they have created an online ordering system allowing patrons to limit contact.

In addition to this, the Food Works organization also sponsors The Farming Alliance program.

This alliance consists of networking opportunities, events, and even possible job opportunities.

One special event under this alliance is the Field Days event where hosts lead participants on short tours of local farms where one can learn more about the production chain.

“If an agriculture student is interested in... learning more about sustainable agriculture... truly going to a field day is a really great way to do that because you know you’re out on the farm you’re talking with the farmer or potentially another expert in that subject area you’re talking with other farmers “Paulson continued These events are meant to foster a communitybased approach to small-scale food production and inspire collaboration according to the Food Works website.

“Going to a field day is a really Great way to... build community and… your knowledge around sustainable agriculture um it’s a very different side then paradigm than conventional Chemical agriculture and so you kind of have to wrap your mind around a whole different way of thinking about the systems the agriculture system that are at play” Paulson said.

Food Works also sponsors Farm Beginnings which is a series of events aimed at new or novice farmers.

Margie Sawicki is a Food Works volunteer who has

been running the Farm Beginnings program since 2017.

This event is a year long endeavor starting in October aimed at providing new farmers with the tools and recourse they need in order to succeed.

“We think about...how they they needed to line with what their goal is for the land and what do you want to grow or produce whether it’s animals or or plants but also to make sure that and a lot of them[New farmers] also want to build the land make it healthy land” Sawicki stated.

Farm Beginnings also has “farmers who come in or zoom in so that they can do about a half hour or so a presentation about how they got started with farming, what were their challenges, what were the successes and then what are their words of advice for new farmers” said Sawicki.

Executive Director Paulson stressed the importance of this event for new farmers. “Because farming it’s a very challenging industry and it’s really important to build long-term support networks to help you out with it and so that’s a big part of it” she said.

Anyone interested in working with the Food Works organization is encouraged to visit www.fwsoil. org as well as join the newsletter to stay up to date on all future Food Works endeavors.

People are also encouraged to reach out to the organization directly at info.fwsoil.org and include a brief introduction as well as their interests with Food Works.

Salukis lose first conference match against Valparaiso

Joseph Bernard | @Jojobernard2001

Saluki Volleyball (5-9, 0-1 MVC) dropped their Missouri Valley Conference opener against Valparaiso University (9-2, 1-0 MVC) 3-1 Friday night. Highlighting the action for the Salukis Friday night were sophomore and Junior outside hitters Tatum Tornatta and Nataly Garcia. Tornatta and Garcia shared the lead for kills with 12 on the night

for both. Freshman setter Anna Jaworski also made her presence seen on the night in both assists and digs.

Jaworski totaled 34 assists and 16 digs against the Beacons.

Also worth noting, sophomore middle hitter Margherita Giani led the Salukis in blocks with five and shared the lead in aces with sophomore defensive specialist MacKenzie Houser with one each.

In the opening set, Valparaiso

started off hot taking the first six points of the set, and never lost their lead throughout. The Salukis got within two late, making it 17-15 at one point, but Valparaiso earned eight of the final eleven points to take the 25-18 win.

Southern did exactly what the Beacons did to them in the second set, taking the lead early and didn’t look back. Valparaiso got the score within two, at 18-16, but SIU

earned six of the next seven points, putting themselves at 24-17, all but earning the set win.

Set three was close throughout, keeping the score with both teams keeping the score within one very often. Valparaiso only led by one late at 21-20, but they took four of the next five points to take the lead in the match 2-1.

The fourth set wasn’t nearly as close as the third set, with Valparaiso

going on a 7-1 run at one point and a 5-1 run at the end of the match to make take set four from the Salukis 25-17 and ultimately the match.

The Salukis will look to bounce back Saturday afternoon against the Loyola University Chicago Ramblers with a 5 p.m first tip in Davies Gym. Sports reporter Joseph Bernard can be reached at joseph.l.bernard@siu.edu or on twitter @Jojobernard2001.

Saluki Volleyball falls to Loyola Chicago in four sets

Brandyn Wilcoxen | @Brandyn_2020

Saluki volleyball (5-10, 0-2 in MVC) fell to the visiting Loyola Ramblers (9-5, 2-0 in MVC) three sets to one Saturday evening at Davies Gym. SIU took the first set 26-24, but dropped the next three sets 25-23, 25-16, and 29-27 respectively.

Sophomore Tatum Tornatta led

the Salukis in kills with 18, followed by junior Nataly Garcia with 15 and sophomore Nsia Gittens with 14.

Freshman Anna Jaworski tallied 44 assists.

Defensively, senior Katy Kluge racked up 25 digs, followed by Garcia and sophomore MacKenzie Houser with seven each.

The first set of the night saw the Salukis jump out to an early lead,

picking up seven of the first eight points and nine of the first 12. Loyola battled back, eventually tying the set at 21. The teams traded points until the Salukis earned the final two to win the set 26-24.

The second set began as tightly contested as the end of the first, until SIU went on a 7-1 run midway through, eventually topping out their lead at 22-16. However, Loyola again

sparked a comeback, taking all but one of the final nine points to take the set 25-23.

Loyola carried their momentum into the third set, taking it 25-16 without much trouble from the Salukis. The fourth and final set saw both teams trade runs, combining for nine ties and four lead changes. After a 24-24 tie, the Salukis faced a possible match-ending point four times before

the Ramblers were eventually able to put them away.

The Salukis will look to snap their five match losing streak on Oct. 1 when they visit Bradley University.

Tip-off in Peoria, Ill. is scheduled for 6 p.m.

SIU defeats Illinois State at home after major second half comeback

Cole Daily | cdaily@dailyegyptian.com

Southern Illinois (3-1,1-0 MVFC) defeated the Illinois State Redbirds (2-2, 0-1 MVFC) 35-17.

Both teams struggled to start the game, with SIU and ISU taking turns going three and out drive after drive. At the end of the first quarter, both teams had yet to score.

The first score of the game came at 13:35 in the second quarter, with ISU’s junior kicker Aidan Bresnahan hitting a field goal.

The Redbirds defense was suffocating, and gave Salukis their first, first down at 11:08 in the second quarter. Freshman wide receiver Isaiah Hartrup said it was hard for the Salukis to get anything going offensively in the first half.

“That’s just the game of football.

Not everything is going to go your way, and Coach preached to us that no matter what adversity hits us, we’re going to be in it together,” Hartrup said.

Illinois State ran it in for the first touchdown of the game with 1:17 left in the half. This was a run up the middle by ISU freshman running back Pha’leak Brown.

SIU’s offense continued to struggle through the second quarter, with sophomore quarterback Nic Baker throwing his first interception with 41 seconds left in the first half.

The pass was intercepted by ISU’s junior linebacker Shanon Reid.

The score at the end of the first half became 10-0, Redbirds in the lead.

Illinois State continued to put the pressure on after the break, scoring a touchdown on their first drive since halftime. The touchdown by freshman quarterback Jackson Waring made it 17-0.

However, the tide started to turn for the Salukis.

Southern Illinois made their first score of a game at 9:16 left in the third quarter. The touchdown was scored by senior wide receiver Landon Lenoir after a pass by Baker at the seven-yard line.

SIU started their comeback midway through the third quarter, after ISU failed to convert a 4th and goal opportunity. SIU then drove the ball down the field and scored another touchdown to make the game 17-14.

The touchdown was scored by senior running back Donovan Spencer on a 40-yard run.

Hill said the stop on 4th and goal was an extremely important moment in the game for the Salukis.

“The 4th down stop was a big momentum shifter. We had to have that one, and our backs were against the wall but our defense played it really well,” Hill said.

SIU got the ball back from Illinois State, but Baker threw an interception over the field at 13:26 in an attempt to junior tight end Tyce Daniel.

SIU forced another three and out, then went on a run down the field.

SIU gained momentum during the drive after Hartsrup made an impressive one-handed catch over the middle of the field.

SIU took their first lead of the game after Junior running back JaVon Williams ran the ball two yards for the touchdown. The score became 21-17.

SIU then followed that up with a fumble recovery, recovered by senior linebacker Anthony Knighton. Sophomore running back Justin Strong converted that to a touchdown after a 11 yard pass by Baker at 7:50 in the fourth quarter.

This touchdown gave the Salukis a 28-17 lead.

SIU scored again with 2:40 left in the final quarter. This rushing touchdown by Williams put the game out of reach, making the score 35-17.

Baker led the game with 227 passing yards and two touchdowns.

SIU’s standout players on the offensive side were Williams and Lenoir, who helped Southern Illinois whenever they needed a play.

Lenoir totaled 86 yards and a touchdown, while Williams added 25 total yards and two touchdowns for the squad.

The defense was led by senior safety Qua Brown who totalled 11 tackles, including a tackle for loss.

Hill said this comeback victory will be monumental for the Salukis.

“I’m just really proud of the guys.

They’ve been resilient and that was an all-around great team victory that you want to see good teams have,” Hill said.

The Salukis play their next game Saturday, October 2 against Western Illinois. The game will be played in Macomb at 3:00 pm.

The director of the program, Shema Ruperto, said she enjoys the program because of its outreach to children.

“Being able to have such a big impact on those who have little to no resources is really special,” Ruperto said.

The organization said the registration fee of twenty-five dollars is enough to feed over thirty children in need.

According to For Kids’ Sake, all of the proceeds from the race go to benefit orphans and students in Bangladesh.
