Former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock tries to block release of documents

SINCE 1916

VOL. 99 ISSUE 80

Playing catch by the lake

caitlin Wilson | Reboot Illinois The legal battle of former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Peoria, is still being waged by his attorneys and federal prosecutors over which congressional documents Schock must turn over to the courts as potential evidence of his possible mishandling of campaign and taxpayer money during his time in office. Schock’s lawyers told the court Aug. 21 that their client owns some of the congressional records sought by the court and doesn’t have to turn them in under the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. The Chicago Tribune reports that Schock was almost held in contempt of court the day before, for the second time, for refusing to hand the documents in: On Thursday, the top federal prosecutor in the case asked U.S. District Court Judge Sue Myerscough in Springfield to consider holding Schock in contempt of court for failing to produce documents. Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Bass wrote in a court filing Thursday that “No court has recognized that a public official ... has a constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment to avoid the compelled production of publicly-funded, non-private, public or official records within his official ... office.” Another hearing meant to resolve the records questions is set for Aug. 28 in Springfield as a federal grand jury continues its investigation of Schock’s spending during his time in the U.S. House of Representatives, which ended when he resigned in March. The Chicago Sun-Times’ Lynn Sweet spoke with one of Schock’s former congressional staffers, Ben Cole about the Instagram-famous representative’s time in office. Cole was Schock’s communications director for about a year before he resigned when his racially charged social media posts caught the attention of media outlets in February, around the same time that Schock’s spending came into public question. Cole got caught up in the spotlight of the situation when he tried to deter a Washington Post reporter from publishing a story about Schock’s office, newly redecorated with red walls, pheasant feathers, and bronze busts of political figures, in the style of the British show “Downton Abbey.” He told Sweet how the whole thing began: Cole said that one day in January, he was with Schock in the newly painted fire-engine red office, where some decorative items were already in place.

Ex-SIUE employee sentenced to probation, fine for lying to federal agents and university RobeRt PatRick | st. louis Post-disPatch A former SIU-Edwardsville employee was sentenced Friday to three years of probation and fined $2,500 for lying about contracts with his mother’s company, federal prosecutors said. At the time, Kwa Mister, 38, of Fairview Heights, was the director of the Small

Business Development Center at SIUE and managed the Highway Construction Preparatory Training Program. Mister’s mother’s company, Phoenix Support Services, had five contracts to help with the training program, but Mister concealed the “family relationship and the potential conflict of interest” from the university, prosecutors said.

He lied to SIUE about whether his mother owned Phoenix and then lied to agents of the Transportation Department’s Office of Inspector General and the Labor Department’s Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations about whether he’d lied to SIUE, prosecutors said. Mister pleaded guilty in April to two counts of making a false statement.

Wall Street ends with market down 588 points James F. PelTz | los angeles Moments after the U.S. stock market opened Monday, anyone checking prices might have rubbed their eyes in disbelief: The Dow Jones industrial average had plunged nearly 1,100 points. “A four-digit decline is enough to wake people out their morning slumber,” said Bruce Simon, chief investment officer at City National Rochdale, an investment arm of City National Bank in Los Angeles. Then, only minutes later, the market launched a furious comeback as investors’ sentiment shifted on a dime, and within three hours the market erased most of its losses. When the chaotic trading day ended, stocks remained above their day’s lows but had suffered major losses for the third consecutive session — leaving investors wondering what carnage may lie ahead. “It’s too soon to tell which way we’re headed,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. After another round of market sell-offs worldwide, sparked again by losses in China, the Dow closed with a loss of 588.40 points, or 3.6 percent, to 15,871.35. It was the

index’s eighth-worst point drop in history. Other key indexes also fell into correction territory. Standard & Poor’s 500 index tumbled 3.9 percent on Monday and was off 11.2 percent from its record high. The Nasdaq composite index dropped 3.8 percent and also was down 13.3 percent from its peak. Based on the broad-based Wilshire 5000 index, the declines over the last three sessions have wiped out $2.2 trillion of U.S. stock market value. Stung by those losses and whipsawed by Monday’s turbulent session, about the only certainty investors have is uncertainty about whether the roller-coaster ride will end soon. Monday’s crazy day also left them facing at least two key questions: When the market soared from its opening plunge, was that a sign of underlying strength and attractive stock values that could mean higher prices ahead? Or was the rally just a temporary upswing that Wall Street coarsely calls a “dead cat bounce,” one that often involves traders buying stocks simply to cover earlier short sales when they bet prices would fall?

Rauner stays out of spotlight on bill signings Kim geiger | Chicago Tribune Moments after Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a landmark public safety bill into law at a closeddoor ceremony, the lawmakers who had ferried the bill to his desk walked two stories below the governor’s office to the press room in the Capitol basement. There, a handful of Republican and Democratic legislators held a news conference to herald the law, which made Illinois one of the first states in the nation to put in place a statewide system for equipping police officers with body cameras. The scene earlier this month left some scratching their heads. The rookie Republican governor had passed up an opportunity to publicly tout a rare bipartisan achievement as he struggles to gain traction in his fight with Democrats reluctant to approve his pro-business, anti-union policies. It’s a time-honored tradition for Illinois governors to invite lawmakers, journalists and members of the public to ceremonial bill signings, an easy way for the chief executive to take credit for accomplishments and create a sense that he’s getting things done. Rauner has signed more than 400 bills into law since he took office in January. He has held zero public signing ceremonies. Asked why that’s the case, Rauner spokesman Lance Trover did not directly answer the question but did say the “work of the General Assembly is not done.” The governor’s allies in the General Assembly put a finer point on it: The stalemate has set up a situation where Rauner has tried to keep the focus on his agenda and the pressure on Democrats to pass it. Highlighting the achievements of others would detract from that effort. “Bill signings are ceremonial, and they’re meant to be almost

like victory laps,” said House Republican leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs. “I don’t see any reason why anybody would be celebrating what has happened in Springfield until we get a budget done.” Instead, Rauner has opted to have small groups in his office for private signings away from the glare of the media. Sometimes, his team posts photos from the gatherings on Facebook and Twitter. In one case, the governor’s office distributed a video of Rauner signing a bill to help ease the way for the Barack Obama presidential library and George Lucas museum in Chicago. But signing ceremonies also carry risk,

as they allow reporters to observe Rauner interacting with people and provide a chance to ask him questions. Rauner watches President Barack Obama speak Feb. 19, 2015 at Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy in Chicago. Rauner appears to enjoy shaking hands and taking photos with voters, but the political newcomer allows only brief and sporadic question-and-answer sessions in controlled settings. “This could be part of a trend to try to control what the message of the day is,” said Mike Lawrence, who was press secretary to former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar. “In other words, if you’ve got a bill

signing and you do it with the media there, then the media ask you questions about other issues, that can overtake what you’re doing on the bill.” Rauner’s predecessor, Democrat Pat Quinn, took the opposite approach. He’d regularly hold several bill signings a week, summoning reporters and lawmakers to schools, construction sites, television studios and hospitals to affix his signature to the official paperwork as television cameras rolled. When Quinn signed the bill making Illinois the 16th state to legalize gay marriage, he held a rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago. More than 2,000 people looked on as he used more than

100 pens to slowly write his name a portion of a letter at a time. The pens were handed out to dignitaries as souvenirs, a practice Quinn became known for even on less high-profile legislation. Rauner recognized the benefits of such press pops early on. On his first full day in office, Rauner invited reporters into his Capitol office as he signed an executive order dealing with state employee ethics. Later that month, he marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day at a Southwest Side high school, where he signed an order requiring reports on minority and veteran participation in apprenticeship and training programs offered by companies and labor unions.

How theaters, museums enhance entertainment for blind, deaf Rachel cRosby | chicago TRibune When the lights dim and a play starts, all eyes are on the stage. But what if you can’t see it? How do people who are blind experience a live theater show? A museum exhibit? “The biggest problem we face is that many people assume people who are blind can’t or don’t experience theater or other sources of entertainment,” said Chris Danielsen, spokesman for the National Federation of the Blind. “And that is not correct.” Yes, they can hear the actors, their motions - the pouring of a glass, the shot of a gun. And they’ve been going to live shows for a long time, Danielsen said. But Chicago theater is making the experience better. Two hours before showtime on a recent morning, pieces of Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s “The Little Mermaid” production were strewn about the theater’s lobby. Ariel’s long red locks. Flounder the guppy’s turquoise and yellow “fin” mohawk. Even the tough snakeskin

boots of Sebastian, the crab who conducts. And 3-year-old Lincoln Rybak was running his fingers over all of it - tapping, squishing, squeezing. Lincoln is legally blind, and his parents were participating in the theater’s touch tour, an opportunity for patrons with low vision to feel the textured costumes, explore the set and meet the characters before the show. Touch tours are not new to the city - Chicago’s Victory Gardens Theater adopted a program in the 1990s, said Evan Hatfield, Steppenwolf Theatre’s director of audience experience. But in the past five years, the city’s cultural scene has blossomed with accessibility. He listed 21 local theaters that offer programs like touch tours, audio description, sign language interpretation and live captioning for productions. And that number is growing. Lincoln’s favorite piece was a fantastic sea urchin headpiece; his little hands were grasping the flexible, floppy spines that poke out from its base. He was at a standstill as a group of about 20 children and

adults who are blind weaved through the props with family. “Whoaaaaaaaa,” he howled, tugging the thick spines as Jason Harrington, the theater’s education outreach manager who heads accessibility programs, explained each piece. Growth in accessibility is not limited to theaters. Eleven other Chicago institutions including the Lincoln Park Zoo, the History Museum and the Shedd Aquarium pledged to make accessibility better in many ways after the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act in July, said Christena Gunther, founder of the Chicago Cultural Accessibility Consortium, a group that works as a network for cultural accessibility programs. Ideas include offering more programs, hiring full-time accessibility managers and finding new ways to reach those with disabilities. “Accessibility is not just about having a ramp,” Gunther said. “Everybody’s different, everybody has different needs. Accessibility never reaches an ending point,

and that’s the challenge but also the fun part.” Once in the theater, Lincoln and the group had full access to a few of the show’s set pieces. On stage was Prince Eric’s ship, a piece of Ariel’s grotto, a giant sea anemone cushion and Chef Louis’ cooking table, covered with “pots and pans and really grossfeeling fish, which you’re welcome to touch,” Harrington said as he guided the tour. “Don’t they feel awful?” said Sharon Howerton, of Chicago, who is blind and brought her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren along. Soon, a handful of the core cast members joined the group “so you get a sense of what they sound like,” Harrington said. There was Ariel, in full attire, who explained the mermaid’s curiosity and many costume changes - from a tail to a dress to a wedding gown. King Triton and Eric also joined. And the man who played Sebastian previewed the crab’s Jamaican accent. “Ah-ree-el!” he yelled. While a touch tour undoubtedly

“enhances the experience,” said Danielsen of the federation for the blind, so does audio description, an explanation of scenes and set changes that are transmitted live to patrons who are blind, through headsets, while the show unfolds on stage. Chicago Shakespeare and about 20 other local theaters offer it already or plan to soon. It’s an accommodation that requires training, finessing and time to perfect, but when done well it can make the play come alive in a new way. Like the beginning of “The Little Mermaid,” when Ariel begins to sing the opening, “A World Above” - a beautiful song, but even better when you know a giant blue fabric like the surface of the ocean is rippling around her as she rises to hip level from beneath the stage, like she’s treading water. Deborah Lewis, vice president of California-based Audio Description Solutions, trained audio describers in Chicago a few weeks ago and said “some people get it, some people don’t,” but here “everyone got it.”

‘Rare Replay’ ranked from worst to best granT Meyer | @GrantMeyerDe

b randi c ouch | d aily e gypTian

‘Sinister 2’ fails to frighten anyone Jacob pierce | @Jacobpierce1_de “Sinister 2,” directed by Ciaran Foy, starring James Ransone and Shannyn Sossamon, serves as a prime example of what happens when too much pressure is put on someone to be like their sibling. It might work for a while,

but eventually everything fails. “Sinister 2” is a mixture of one hundred ideas, none of which stick. The actor’s performances and dialogue are atrocious and all positives from the first film are forgotten. The only reason to see this film is because you are a big fan of the original “Sinister” or horror in general, but both options still lead to disappointment.

As one of the best deals for video games, “Rare Replay” combines 30 classic Rare Ltd games in one package for $30. The games included were released from 1983 to 2008. Unfortunately, while some games might have been great in their heyday, they do not hold up well compared to their modern counterparts. However, there is still a lot to enjoy in this package. The following is the games ranked from worst to best: 30. “Knight Lore” (1984) The player is tasked with exploring a castle in an effort to cure the character’s curse of turning into a werewolf. Despite an interesting premise, this game has extremely slow and clunky controls which make the game dull. 29. “Underwurlde” (1984) Trapped in an ancient labyrinth, the player must escape by jumping to traverse and avoid monsters. Unfortunately, the jumping is unpredictable and the monsters are too aggressive for this game to be enjoyable. 28. “Lunar Jetman” (1983) The player is an astronaut destroying alien missiles that threaten Earth. Once a player understands how to play, they will wonder why they spent time figuring it out because the game is too confusing and punishing. 27. “Gunfright” (1985) Get your revolver ready because “Gunfright” puts players in the boots of an old, western sheriff in town tracking down criminals for money. Despite the cool theme of this retro game, the uncooperative controls and weird game design—such as getting hurt by colliding with innocent women—make this game tedious.

26. “Sabre Wulf ” (1984) Players must explore a jungle, battling monsters along the way, to find an ancient amulet. Gamers defeat monsters with a sword, but its poorly implemented because the player can only attack in front of their avatar, while the monsters can attack the player from all directions. Enemies are so quick the character dies before they can even react. 25. “Solar Jetman” (1990) In “Solar Jetman,” players must build their spaceship to travel from planet to planet. Controlling the character is unresponsive and lags, making the experience frustrating. 24. “Atic Atac” (1983) At the start of “Atic Atac” gamers select a class and fight their way through a haunted castle. Hidden keys unlock secret passages and monsters are killed by weapons that bounce off walls. Despite getting lost easily and being able to carry only a few items, this game is surprisingly fun. 23. “Grabbed by the Ghoulies” (2003) “Grabbed by the Ghoulies” stars protagonist Cooper as he tries to find a way to save his girlfriend and escape a haunted mansion. While sporting cartoon-like graphics, the core gameplay is not very fun or engaging and can ruin the experience. 22. “Digger T. Rock” (1990) This treasure hunting game features archaeologist Digger, who can dig, jump and fight his way through a series of caves while avoiding traps, insects and skeletons. Overall, it is an amusing old school game. 21. “Jetpac Refueled” (2006) “Jetpac Refueled” was a recreation of Rare Ltd’s first game called “Jetpac” and plays exactly like the original. While it is a fun throwback, this plays like a game from 1983 without the nostalgic aesthetic. This is the first of a three-part series.

Saluki sophomore moving to new position Thomas dwonley | @tdonleyDE Without an experienced cornerback, SIU football was forced to move a former starter from safety. Sophomore cornerback Ryan Neal, who never played the position before this spring, said he has not had many problems transitioning. “It’s been pretty smooth,” Neal said. “There is a difference between safety and corner, but fundamentally, the footwork is not that much different.” Neal said the toughest part of the change has been keeping his eyes on the player he is covering rather than the quarterback. “Stuff is going to develop very quickly when you’re playing at the corner spot,” Neal said. “At safety you’ve got time to analyze everything.” SIU was left understaffed at the cornerback position for this season after Courtney Richmond and Boo Rodgers graduated. They both started every game last season. Defensive coordinator David Elson said Neal made the move because of his speed. “We knew that we were going to be thin at that position,” Elson said. “And during the winter workouts, we realized that he runs as well as anybody we’ve got on our team, so it makes sense to put that guy at corner.” At 6-foot-2, Neal is among the tallest defensive backs in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Senior safety D.J. Cameron said Neal’s size suits him well on the outside. “It’s hard for a dude to catch a

pass on him,” Cameron said. “And a quarterback, if he sees that tall cornerback on the outside, they don’t want to go to him.” Elson said Neal is one of the team leaders who does everything

right off the field, but he has to be aware of the situation. “Sometimes with guys like that, you don’t coach them as much,” he said. “With him at a new position, I’ve got to remember that every day

is a new day when it comes to him playing corner.” Elson said redshirt freshman Jefferson Vea looks like the front runner to start at corner opposite Neal.

“Jeff’s had a really good summer and a really good camp,” Elson said. “Torian Lewis is a true freshman who’s shown a lot of good things, and [redshirt freshman] Andrew McCrea is continuing to improve.”

Saluki sophomore hitter out for season evan Jones | @EvanJones_DE Sophomore middle hitter Anna Himan had surgery to repair a torn hip labrum in her right leg during the offseason and will miss the entire 2015 season. Two days after her July 10 surgery, Himan began her six-month rehabilitation. With a focus on range of motion and strength training at this time, Himan understands it is a long road to recovery. “I have two more weeks on crutches,” Himan said. “I’m progressing back into walking normally right now.” Himan is a scholarship athlete for

the SIU volleyball team, which will not change anytime this year. “If I’m not doing what I’m supposed to be doing there will be consequences,” Himan said. “If I don’t get back to my full potential coach can pull my scholarship.” The use of a medical redshirt has not been discussed at this time. The projected front line for the 2015 SIU volleyball team is loaded with returning talent. Sophomore outside hitter Andrea Estrada led the Salukis with 322 kills, and senior middle hitter Taylor Pippen posted a .410 hitting efficiency last season. “It’s more competitive now,”

Estrada said. “Being down a girl really heightens the practice intensity.” With Himan sidelined it could mean experienced hitters will not be able to take a break. “Any time you lose anybody at any position it will change how you practice and it will affect your depth,” coach Justin Ingram said. “We hope she comes back at full strength and is able to compete for a spot.” In her freshman year, Himan played in 30 sets and averaged 0.8 kills and 0.77 blocks per set. With five days of rehab a week, Himan hopes to return from injury and do so at a higher competitive level.
