One arrested in homicide case, two suspects still at large TYLER DAVIS | @TDavis_DE

Nearly 36 hours after a man was shot and another was killed Sunday morning, Carbondale police announced an arrest has been made in the case and two men are being searched for. Carbondale police spokesman Sgt. Corey Kemp said police arrested 21-year-old Dwayne J. Dunn Jr., of St. Louis, charging him with reckless discharge of a firearm at a party after shots were fired about 2 a.m. Sunday at 402 W. Walnut Sgt. Kemp could not confirm if Dunn’s shots killed Tim Beaty, 41, who was in his bedroom in a neighboring house. Dunn was arrested early Sunday after the party and is being held at Jackson County Jail on $500,000 bond. Monday was the first time police released information about any arrests or suspects in the case. Kemp said he also could not comment about the status of a second male who suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound. The Daily Egyptian, as well as other news outlets, had attempted to get confirmation about the shooting, victims and suspects on the case since about 3 a.m. Sunday. He said because he does not work on the weekends, it is difficult to relay information to the media. He said he came in Sunday to write a brief news release about the shooting. Usually, if Kemp is not in the office, the sergeant or lieutenant on duty can answer questions from the media. “It’s a process, usually the sergeant will pass [information] along for someone to call back,” he said. “I always have my phone on me — I’m not going to give you my phone number — but you can email me and I’ll get back to you.” Police are looking for other suspects, but Kemp could not comment on their descriptions or if they are SIU students. By the Daily Egyptian’s count, Kemp said “no comment” at least 19 times during 14-minute news conference Monday. “Due to the nature of investigations, we cannot jeopardize anything that may come in the future, so we withhold certain information to make sure our investigation is all inclusive, and we cover all of our bases,” he said He said no information was available about the number of shots fired, the nature of the second victim’s injury, how the bullets entered Baity’s home or who owns the home at 402 W. Walnut St. The shooting was at least the fourth Carbondale incident involving a gun in 2016. Kemp said the department will continue to talk to residents to try to prevent violent crimes. “This is your police department, this is your community, we do a lot, but we need help also,” he said. “That’s one thing — we make sure the community is out there helping us also. ... We make sure we do our due diligence.” When officers responded to the home Sunday, they encountered a large group of partiers leaving the residence after an altercation, Kemp said. He said shots were fired both inside and outside the home. Kemp could not confirm if the home or party had anything to do with SIU students or any SIU organization. He said the department and city have considered ways to limit large gatherings that can turn violent, but must respect people’s right to assemble.

Friends remember Tim Beaty BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

Tim Beaty was the kind of drummer who would take the stage in his underwear. “That’s just the way he played,” said Jacky Schmedt, a longtime friend of the Carbondale man whose sudden death has shocked and rattled friends and family in the area. “He was the kind of person that anytime you felt you were out of place somewhere, you weren’t out of place because you were hanging out with him,” she said. “He’d find a way to bring you in to feel comfortable wherever you were.” A house party on the 400 block of West Walnut Street ended in gunfire about 2 a.m. Sunday following an altercation, according to Carbondale police. Beaty, 41, was an uninvolved bystander struck and killed by a stray bullet while in his bed at home, police said. He leaves behind a 5-year-old son. “I just felt like the light in my heart turned off,” Schmedt said of how she felt

learning the news. “I mean, what a freak accident. Accident is not even the right word … he should’ve been at the concert across the street, he should have been at Lost Cross closing it down or with his friends.” After the news broke, friends of Beaty gathered near the two places he frequented: the Lost Cross house and PK’s bar. Beaty, who moved to Carbondale in 2000, played drums and hung out at Lost Cross, a popular music venue in Carbondale. “We’re a PK’s family,” Shmedt said. “It starts at PK’s and it spreads out, and you just build up friendship with folks those who become a part of your life.” It was easier for Walter Witkewiz, a longtime friend of Beaty’s who works as a bartender at PK’s, to count the days he didn’t spend time with Beaty than the ones he did. “He definitely had a personal mug,” Witkewiz said. “We kept it full [Sunday] at the bar and kept drinking out of it for him.”

Now, that mug rests near a candle and portrait on Witkewiz’s side of the bar. Beaty was remembered by many as a spectacular musician, good friend and loving father. Dozens posted on his Facebook wall in the hours after he was found to swap favorite memories and highlight moments true to Beaty’s character. Everything from details about good nights at Lost Cross to his fandom for professional wrestling can be found in the posts. Hannah White said she first met Beaty during a show at Lost Cross two years ago when she was new to town. He made a point to introduce her to new people, she said. “[Beaty] was just a really sweet dude and, from hearing everybody else’s stories, he was great just to have in the scene,” said White, a senior from Pekin studying art.

Will chicken waste endanger Carbondale’s drinking water? TYLER CROTZER | @TylerCrotzer_DE

Farm owner Everett Kauffman is nearing completion on a cage-free chicken farm that would house some 25,000 laying hens about a quarter-mile from Cedar Lake, the municipal water supply for Carbondale and surrounding towns. This has caused about 600 people from Jackson County to sign a change.org petition to end construction. The petition has been signed by a total of nearly 6,000 Illinois residents. Kauffman declined to comment for this story.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture calculates farm size in “animal units” by predicting the amount of waste an animal produces, said Nick Anderson, a member of the Illinois Livestock Development Group who works with Kauffman. Chickens only account for .01 of an animal unit, meaning 25,000 chickens would equate to 250 animal units, according to the department’s website. “From the standards of the Livestock Management Facility Act and the Environmental Protection Agency, he is a very small farm,” Anderson said. Anderson said Kauffman has met all the requirements dictated by the department’s

Livestock Management Facility Act and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water Act. The building where the chickens are cooped and the waste-storage shed are contained by 5-inch-thick reinforced concrete that is water and nutrient tight as to not allow for a breach of waste material. Not only are people concerned that feces could breach the facility, some say there could be waste run-off from manure applied to crops. To read more, please read www.dailyegyptian.com

While most students were just starting their spring break, SIU student Hannah Neely was finishing up an eight-day trip in Kenya in the hopes to empower young women there. Neely, a junior from Chicago studying speech communications, raised $3,000 to fund a trip to Mombasa, Kenya, with a group of people from Global Girls, Inc., a youth mentoring and performing arts organization based in Chicago. The group visited three schools in Mombasa, where they chanted, sang songs and compared lifestyles with young girls there. “We let them know in different ways and different activities that they were powerful, that they were beautiful, that they were strong,” Neely said. They taught them a dance to a song about women being beautiful

without needing a mirror to tell them. Neely said the girls really connected with that message. She said this trip brought her one step closer to deciding what she wants to focus her own nonprofit organization on in the future. “I went out there knowing in mind that I wanted to find out what is the need in Africa,” Neely said. “Me going on this trip gave me that opportunity to immerse in a culture in the continent where I plan to do much work and see what needs need to be met.” While in Mombassa, Neely also started filming her documentary, “Women’s Empowerment in Africa,” which will show photos and videos from the trip. She said the documentary, which she hopes to release in June, helps inspire people to support and join the women’s empowerment movement. “Women’s empowerment is

much needed around the world and if you have it, give it, empower, teach, learn and mentor,” she said. “Be a big brother or sister to anyone ... because there are people out here that truly need it.” The mission of Global Girls, Inc. — which has seven chapters around the world, including in India, Grenada and Mombassa — is to “empower youth from the African diaspora ... by training them in the performing arts to build strong communication, leadership and life skills," said its founder and executive director Marvinetta Woodley-Penn.

Former SIU provost named UNO president LUKE NOZICKA | @LukeNozicka

John Nicklow, who served as SIU's provost for more than three years, was named president of the University of New Orleans last week, according to The Associated Press. Nicklow — who was named provost at SIU in May 2011 under former Chancellor Rita Cheng — left the university to be provost at New Orleans in July after he was reassigned as SIU's provost to administrative duties

in 2014. Nicklow started working at SIU in 1998. "I can see the opportunities that we have in front of us," Nicklow said after being named UNO's president, NOLA.com reported March 16. One of the policies initiated during Nicklow's time as provost is the 20-hour work cap, which does not allowed students to work more than 20 hours a week at oncampus jobs. His appointment as UNO's president is effective immediately.

Previously homeless social work student helps fight local poverty

resources, how to get them or if they even qualify for aid. Butler provides them with that information and makes connections for them. So far, Butler helped house two families and assisted others in finding transportation out of the city to an area where they may have a better chance at success. With the state's longest budget impasse to date, resources have been cut, especially in southern Illinois, which continues the vicious cycle of poverty in the region, Butler said.

Reese, one of the founding members of the Sparrow Coalition, said Butler, who graduates in May, is training the next intern to serve during the summer. "Shannon has been an unbelievable advocate in the community," Reese said. "She's gone way beyond what you would ever expect a social work student to ever be able to do."

"It almost seemed like, when I was a child, that everyone lived in poverty," Butler said. Once she realized that was not the case, she said she wanted to empower others and let them know there can be success from poverty. "Poverty in our area does not speak volumes," Butler said. "It unfortunately is viewed in our society as laziness and as not that important … and that alone is a huge problem." Instead, she said many people in need don't know of available

Carbondale Police arrested Dwayne Dunn Jr., 21, of St. Louis, on Sunday in connection with the shooting at the party. Dunn faces a single felony count of reckless discharge of a firearm for “shooting into the sky in a populated neighborhood,” according to court records. The charges against Dunn are subject to change and police are conducting a forensic investigation, Sgt. Corey Kemp said during a press conference Monday. A preliminary hearing for Dunn is scheduled April 21. Two more suspects are wanted in connection to the shooting, but police did not provide descriptive details about the men. “Utter shock, disbelief, horror, devastation,” said longtime friend Amy Graziano, remembering her reaction to the news. “It was just absolutely unfathomable and still is.” She added it is ironic the way Beaty died considering his position on gun control and his activism to bring attention to the issue of gun violence. “He would never do something so irresponsible,” said Graziano, who graduated from SIU with a master’s degree in poetry in 2007. “He really was an extremely peaceful guy.” Beaty’s death reminded Graziano of another friend of the group, Matthew Dierker, who was killed by a drunk driver in 2014. Candles were lit for Dierker on the front porch of Lost Cross the day he died. It was Beaty’s idea, she said. “We lit candles on [the] Lost Cross porch last night,” Graziano said.

As a child, Shannon Butler experienced chronic homelessness. Her family moved from Memphis to Carbondale in the 1990s where they lived in multiple shelters, including the Good Samaritan House and the Women's Center, until they eventually found affordable housing. Now Butler, a master's student in social work, works at the Carbondale Public Library as a social worker where she helps impoverished locals find resources and aid. Butler began her internship at the library because of a partnership between the library, the university and the Sparrow Coalition — a community network focusing on social issues of poverty and homelessness. Before that, there were no places homeless people could go and receive help finding services, said Dona Reese, a social work professor at SIU who supervises Butler. "There are a lot of homeless people who sit in the library, and we have known that for 20 years," Reese said. "They get shelter, use the computers." Butler had four clients when she started the internship in August. Now she has 60 clients of all races ranging in age from 18 to 65. The poverty rate in Jackson County is 30.4 percent — more than twice the Illinois average and the highest of any county in the state, according to a February report by the Social Impact Research Center.

A press conference of nothingness

Sloan Marion | @SketchingBear

DAILY EGYPTIAN EDITORIAL BOARD

While some headed to church on Easter Sunday, others were recovering from a terrifying night of gunfire and panic. But because of Carbondale Police Department’s lack of communication, most people who walked into St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church did not know that just hours earlier two men were shot yards away from their place of worship. During a press conference on Monday, Carbondale police spokesman Sgt. Corey Kemp announced the department made an arrest in the killing of 41-yearold Tim Beaty, who was hit by at least one stray bullet while in his bedroom on Sunday morning. Two men were fighting during a party about 2 a.m. at 402 W. Walnut St., when one pulled a gun and started shooting, multiple witnesses said Sunday morning. Somehow, Beaty was killed in his residence next door. But of course police wouldn’t tell us how many times he was hit or

how the bullet entered his home. In fact, the police wouldn’t tell us anything. All we could gather was that Beaty was an innocent bystander in this crime, Kemp said. When members of the media gathered at the police department on Monday to finally get a chance to ask questions about the 36-hour-old tragic incident, they were repeatedly hit with “no comment.” The following questions were asked by reporters and answered by Kemp: “How many shots were fired?” “I cannot comment on that at this time.” “Are the two suspects believed to be students?” “I cannot comment on that at this time.” “Why is the second victim’s name not being released?” “I cannot comment on that at this time.” This back-and-forth questioning and not really answering continued for some time — a total of 19 times, by our count. It sounded

like something out of a Saturday Night Live skit. Before all of this, a Daily Egyptian reporter arrived at the crime scene about 2:15 a.m. Sunday. An officer on scene wouldn’t tell our reporter if a shooting occurred at the residence or if anyone was injured. “I can’t tell you anything,” the officer said before getting in his squad car. Six calls to the department yielded no additional information and a story with no official sources. Then the department published a terse online press release that contained few details, followed by an updated version just before the press conference Monday. That is, if we can even call it a press conference. Kemp regurgitated the news release in front of cameras and reporters before deflecting any and all questions that would actually inform the public about the shooter or incident. Kemp said at the news conference that he works Monday through Friday — so we should

understand why some details don’t get out very soon. Thank goodness crime follows Kemp’s schedule. In a college town, that does little service to the public, which deserves to be informed. While we understand the investigation has just begun, the department should be able to release more information quicker, especially in what is believed to be the first homicide in Carbondale this year. Kemp said the suspects should be considered dangerous, but that seems to be all we know. No age. No physical description. No way of identifying the person or people who shot and killed a witty and beloved local. Police are still searching for two primary suspects in this case. The only description provided is that the two are “black males.” How does this help civilians identify the perpetrators? It doesn’t. And that’s what the relationship of the media and police is all about — helping the public know what they need to know. But that simply does not happen in Carbondale. That’s not Kemp’s fault. He

admitted all of his statements and releases must be approved by Police Chief Jeff Grubbs. We understand not wanting to jeopardize an investigation, but there are simple questions that can be answered. Is this residence a common spot for violence? “I cannot comment on that at this time.” Are police aware of the suspect’s identity? “I cannot comment on that at this time.” How should southern Illinoisans know if their area of town is safe, or if students are free to walk around town at night without risk? This lack of transparency has led to more concern and less sense of security. That is the opposite of the department’s duty. The people of Carbondale deserve better. Help us help you, Carbondale Police Department. Return our calls. Answer simple questions. Stop leaving the public in the dark.

Derby dance moves

Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE From left: Antonio Pagan, a freshman from Chicago studying business and marketing, Cody Gallardo, a junior from Aurora studying psychology, and Anthony Washington, a freshman from Chicago studying business management, all pledges for the Sigma Chi Fraternity, practice serenades Monday at the Campus Lake Boat Dock Pavilion. Each year, the Sigma Chi fraternity hosts Derby Days as its main philanthropic event to raise money for charities. One of the events the fraternity holds at the Derby Bays is the serenade where members of the fraternity sing songs to the sororities as a way to say thank you for attending their events, said Josef Williams, a sophomore from Naperville studying biomedical sciences. The group remakes popular songs, creating their own lyrics and dance moves and then performs them at the event. “We’ve been practicing for three days,” said Williams, the president of the pledge class. “We’ve been drilling them so they are crisp when we go out there.”

Despite problems, medical marijuana industry remains optimistic about pot’s future in Illinois MIKE FITZGERALD BELLEVILLE NEWS-DEMOCRAT

Is the Illinois medical cannabis industry in danger of failing? Six months after the state's first medical cannabis dispensaries opened for business, some entrepreneurs and analysts believe it is. Their concerns stem from the fact that only 5,000 state residents have so far received registry cards, or about one-tenth of what industry investors were hoping to see a year ago. A big reason for the low numbers centers on Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner's refusal to expand the list of 39 original qualifying medical conditions that allow patients to obtain the required cannabis cards. Even so, Tanya Griffin remains an optimist about the future of Illinois' medical cannabis industry. Griffin, a metro-east native, acknowledges that keeping a positive attitude has not been easy. The director of Illinois operations for the The Green Solution, a Denver-based chain of dispensaries, Griffin been waiting months to open the medical cannabis dispensary licensed for Sauget, one of two permitted for the metro-east under the state program.

"It's painful right now," said Griffin, who expects her dispensary to open in Sauget in mid-April. "We wish there were more [qualifying] conditions, we wish there were a more hospitable environment." But Griffin remains upbeat. "But ultimately people will find a way,” she said. “t's like they figure out how to get their driver's license even though they have to go back three times. This is a crazy ride we're on."

Of Failure." The article warned that the "low number of approved patients could force some marijuana businesses to close just as the program is getting underway." The article noted that an online petition by change.org to include more medical conditions had collected 18,000 signatures, and that singer Melissa Etheridge, who has suffered from breast cancer, had joined the struggle.

“There’s only so long that you can ignore the constituency. I believe Illinois will see the economic benefit that cannabis is providing to the other states, and the lack of down sides being seen in the statistics.” - Jeffery Zucker founder of Greenline Partners

In the short-term, the industry — which is in the third year of a fiveyear pilot program — faces some serious challenges. In January these challenges were the focus of a story published in Forbes that carried the ominous headline, "Illinois Medical Marijuana Program In Danger

On her Twitter feed, Etheridge wrote: "I believe in this medicine. Petition: Let More People in Illinois Access Medical Cannabis." Chris Lindsey, an analyst with the Marijuana Policy Project, said it's probably too early to say what the industry's future will be in Illinois.

“A lot of the problems the state is experiencing now are not a big surprise,” he said “I think we hoped to see a lot more patients." For Illinois, "the No. 1 priority is that the program be extended to continue beyond its current sunset date" in early 2018, Lindsey said. Lindsey said it would "be a real shame" if the program is ended while its participation is so restricted. "So then it's over before it could start," he said. "What a tremendous disservice to patients if this is allowed to happen." Another issue is the problems that patients encounter in finding physicians willing to sign cards that allow patients to shop at dispensaries. Also, the state's on-line registration process can also be a real hassle, according to Griffin. "Just a lot of hurdles. It's the DMV on steroids," she said. "I have highlyeducated, computer-savvy people calling me in a tailspin that can't get through even the online application. And these aren't 80-year-olds who can't function on a computer. These are 30-year-olds helping their parents or helping somebody sick that can't get through the process." Lindsey said he believes the state cannabis industry will ultimately survive

because "public opinion polls show that Illinoisans have a tremendous amount of support for their medical marijuana program. And that's consistent with what voters are saying around the country." The latest poll conducted by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at SIU underscores Lindsey's views on the popularity of medical cannabis in Illinois. When asked whether they favor or oppose legalized medicinal marijuana in Illinois, 82 percent expressed support for the policy. Only 16 percent opposed it and 3 percent did not know or answered otherwise, according to the poll. Overall support for medical marijuana has increased dramatically – by 19 percentage points – and opposition has been cut in half since a 2013 institute poll asked a similar question. "I don't believe that at the end of the day the voters are going to stand by and watch their own program get dismantled through lack of attention," Lindsey said. "I think they're going to step and up and say you've really got to get this program in shape." To read more, please see www.dailyegyptian.com

Sports Remembering Bill Cornell

TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 2016

BRENT MESKE | @BRENTMESKEDE

"Don’t forget to park the van, don’t forget to do the workouts," a 75-yearold Saluki Athletics Hall of Famer would tell his wife. These were the thoughts of Bill Cornell, who ran track at SIU more than 50 years ago, as he suffered from dementia. He died late Sunday, and his dementia was a side effect of Parkinson’s disease — which he had since 1989, according to his wife, Rose Cornell. He passed at the couple's home in The Villages, Fla. Even with a deteriorating mind, Bill, an SIU Hall of Fame track and field athlete and coach, never forgot the sport Rose called his first love. Once the dementia started in December, it caused hallucinations, and Rose said his were always about track and field. The couple married on April 1, 1961 and left for America from their homes in England a day later. They arrived in St. Louis on April 3 and Bill started school at SIU on April 4. He was 20, she was 17. A native of Chelmsford, Cornell became a three-time All-American at SIU, a U.S. Track and Field Federation champion and was named SIU’s Athlete of the Year in 1962. She said Bill did not have much interest in coming to America for college until Hall of Fame track and field coach Lew Hartzog called him repeatedly. "I was really saddened by the news, but I know it's a relief for him because he had struggled for awhile," said Connie Price-Smith, former SIU track and field and cross-country coach. "It's a sad day for track and field as a whole. He was a great mentor to a lot of people." Cornell received his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1965 and completed a master's degree a year later.

Tom Ashman, a lifelong friend and former teammate, said he and Cornell bonded over the fact that they were both married. He said the couples would often hang out during their time at SIU. "We didn't live the normal, average college social life," he said. "We didn't have the money to go out. Maybe scrape up enough money to buy a sixpack and spend Friday or Saturday night, or both, playing cards." When they were in college, Ashman's parents would have Bill and Rose over to his home in Murphysboro for Thanksgiving and Christmas because they could not go back to England for the holidays. The duo remained friends after their time at SIU as both went into coaching — Cornell at Murray State and SIU, Ashman at Murphysboro High School and John A. Logan College. Ashman said he and his wife Paula would visit Bill and Rose in the summers when he was coaching at Murray State. He said Cornell lived on Kentucky Lake, which is approximately 18 miles east of the university. Cornell began his coaching career at Murray State in 1967. He led the Racers for 15 years and won three Ohio Valley Conference championships in cross-country and was a four-time OVC Coach of the Year. "That was probably some of his favorite years because it was a small school that was unknown," Rose said. "He had several Olympians and AllAmericans there." Cornell coached Tommy Turner at Murray State; Turner became the first ever OVC athlete to win an NCAA Championship. The SIU alumnus returned to coach cross-country and track and field in 1982. He led the Dawgs to five Missouri Valley Conference crosscountry championships and eight

MVC track championships — four indoor and four outdoor. Cornell earned MVC Coach of the Year all of the track seasons. "When he made the jump back to his alma mater, that was one of his highlights too," Rose said. "You know, everyone wants to come back to their alma mater." Cornell coached 11 Olympians and 49 All-Americans at Murray State and SIU. Once Cornell came back to coach at SIU, Ashman said visits became more frequent, but even if they didn't see each other for a month they would stay in contact. They were such close friends that when the Ashmans brought their first daughter home from the hospital, Bill and Rose were waiting at their house to greet the new family. Even after he retired, Cornell was

still always on campus. Softball coach Kerri Blaylock said Cornell would often attend games and ask how she and the team was doing — despite his health. "He would struggle to get down the hallway but it was always a smile, hug and, 'Kerri, how are you?,'" she said. "Even when he was struggling with his health, he was always around and wanted to be active." Though a nice guy, he was always incredibly competitive, which Ashman said always set him apart. "Bill Cornell was, among all the athletes I've ever been around, the most fierce competitor of any of them," he said. "He had a tremendous heart and a tremendous will to win. He had a tremendous personality to go along with it." But Cornell's will to win went beyond the track.

Bill McMinn, who worked at the Recreation Center for 25 years, said he and Cornell would often play racquetball during lunch. “Even then, he would try to find ways to get in my head and mess with me to distract me," McMinn said. "He was a real good guy, laid back and funny.” Ashman said it was this competitiveness — and the love he had for Rose — that kept Cornell fighting after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease nearly three decades ago. "Rose and Bill were as close as man and woman could possibly be," he said. "Rose was one of the reasons Bill was able to survive so long with such a devastating disease."

Evan Jones | @EvanJones_DE

For the fifth time this season, freshman pitcher Brianna Jones was honored with a weekly award by the Missouri Valley Conference. Monday she was named the MVC Pitcher of the Week after another lights-out week against Southeast Missouri State and Illinois State. This is her third time winning Pitcher of the Week this season in addition to her two Newcomer of the Week awards. Over the last week she tallied three wins, two of which were shutouts, in addition to picking up a save. Her two shutouts give her eight on the season, tied for the most in the nation. Overall, she threw 16 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just nine hits to her 10 strikeouts across the four appearances. Jones boosted her record to 15-3, while holding a 1.41 ERA. Her ERA and 15 wins are both the best in the MVC. She is the first Saluki to win Pitcher of the Week three times in the same season since Katie McNamara in 2009. Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307.
