Rauner keeps SIU student trustees in the dawg house

DAILYEGYPTIAN.COM

SINCE 1916

VOL. 99 ISSUE 85

Skating by with flying colors

BILL LUKITSCH | @Bill_LukitschDE

Southern Illinois University students may be facing another year without voting power on the Board of Trustees.

Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed a measure on Aug. 25, which would restore voting privileges for the two SIU System student trustees. It has been two years since an SIU student trustee from either campus could vote.

“It’s disappointing to not have that vote,” said Allen Shelton, SIUC’s student trustee. “The reason that we have a student trustee is to get that student view.”

House Bill 4113 would amend the Southern Illinois University Management Act, which currently allows the governor to grant one student trustee from either campus the ability to vote on the Board of Trustees.

The bill would add a tenth seat to the board, effectively bypassing the process of gubernatorial selection.

Rauner’s amendatory veto spells trouble for Shelton and for SIUE’s student trustee Dillon Santoni, who are both waiting — and hoping — the governor will appoint one of them with the vote.

But neither one is holding his breath.

It is possible an appointment may never transpire during Shelton and Santoni’s time in office.

Santoni said the need for student representation on the board is crucial and he would urge Rauner to grant at least one student trustee with voting power as soon as possible.

“Whether or not he actually will, I’m not sure,” Santoni said. “I can’t speak to his agenda or what he plans on doing, but I think the necessity of it happening would be definitely important.”

In a statement released Aug. 25, Rauner said having another student voting member was not “necessary or advisable” and recommended “no change be made to the composition of the Board of Trustees.” The governor also said the current system allows students to be adequately represented “without diluting the insight gained from the other trustees’ years of professional experience.”

Santoni said he firmly disagrees with the governor’s decision and his reasoning, especially the ‘diluting insight.’

“I don’t think at any time does the rest of the board, or does the rest of the university, feel as though our voices on that board dilute the professionalism of the board,” he said.

In light of Illinois’ current budget impasse and the ongoing discord between state legislators and Gov. Rauner, Santoni said the proper attention may have been detracted from HB 4113. He also said he believes the governor’s veto was a “political move.”

Both Shelton and Santoni said they plan to voice issues from their respective constituencies to fellow board members, but admitted it would be easier to represent students if they could vote independently.

And the students at SIUC seem to agree.

“I feel as though the student body doesn’t have a voice,” said Brittany Kyles, a sophomore studying TV and digital media radio. “If no one is up there in leadership for us, then who do we have?”

Shelton said he is especially worried that students at SIUC will be discouraged by Rauner’s decision and refrain from bringing important campus issues to his desk.

“You’re not really giving the students an opportunity to vote,” Shelton said. “And at the end of the day, that matters.”

Bugging out: Why head lice are resisting treatments CORY RAY | @coryray_de

People may be scratching their heads in confusion about why their head lice are not being eliminated.

During the past 15 years, head lice across the country are developing a resistance to over-the-counter products used to kill them.

Kyong Sup Yoon, a toxicology professor at SIU-Edwardsville who researched lice mutations, said the widespread use of those products has lead to the resistance.

Yoon said he hopes future cases of lice will be treated by prescription products, similar to antibiotics, rather than overthe-counter products.

“We need to talk to experts,” he said.

“It’s like if you have a problem with your car, you need to go to a mechanic.”

Yoon said he suggests a strategy where different patients receive alternate prescribed products in order to limit their use and maintain effectiveness.

John Clark, a professor in environmental toxicology at the University of Massachusetts, said he and his colleagues noticed the presence of mutations in lice around 2000. Clark said research estimates 98 percent of lice are now resistant. Specifically, the insects resist permethrin — an insecticide used for agriculture and an active ingredient in many lice shampoos.

Lice are not the only insects

Marat Tsablinov | D AILY E GYPTIAN

developing these resistances. An estimated 250 species have developed a resistance to pyrethroids used on farms.

The pharmacy in the Student Health Center sells a specialized comb and cream containing permethrin that can be bought without a prescription.

Dr. Paul Bennett, the medical chief of staff for the SIUC Student Health Center said other lice-eliminating medications exist, but are more expensive. Dr. Bennett said the center sees occasional cases of head lice, but has never prescribed the more expensive medications.

Pyrethroids were effective at killing head lice when they were first developed in the ‘70s, but by 2005, Clark noticed a 25 percent resistance and a 75 percent in 2010. Today, lice have a near universal

resistance to the medicine.

Clark said most people continue to use over-the-counter products, unaware of their ineffectiveness. Because of the high levels of resistance, the public is noticing the lack of desired effects after over-using the same product for many years.

Yoon compiled lice samples from 30 states, 25 of which showed resistance.

Within the last few years, developers have manufactured a variety of prescription medication to treat head lice whereas, in the past, only one prescription product was available for use. It is still sold today and continues to be effective at killing head lice.

“What people want to know is what to do now,” Clark said. “What you do now is you go to the doctor, and he’ll prescribe you something that works.”

Riverbend organization continues water projects aid CORY DAVENPORT | THE TELEGRAPH

The Mustard Seed Peace Project is a local community-oriented nonprofit organization making international waves.

Started by Godfrey resident Terri Cranmer in 2004, the project works to bring the Riverbend’s generosity and compassion to impoverished towns across the world.

Currently, the group is working with engineering students from Southern Illinois University’s Carbondale and Edwardsville campuses to bring functioning water systems to two poor villages in Guatemala.

“In the village of Virginia [in Guatemala], during the late months of the dry season, all but one of the six wells are dried out,” Cranmer said. “Women have to travel about a mile to the spring. They make about eight to 10 trips a day. Sometimes they even pull girls out of school to do the work.”

In the Guatemalan village of Las Mojarras, another organization built a somewhat-functioning water delivery system in 1996.

When it was originally built, Las Mojarras had a population of 25 families. Cranmer said the organization which built the system did not plan for the community’s future growth. Las Mojarras is currently the home of more than 100 families, and many have no reliable access to water.

“Even in the houses with faucets, families can only get it to flow at certain times of the day, “ Cranmer said. “Some of them were awake at 2 and 3 in the morning because that was the only time the water would flow. They would have to get up and fill their buckets.”

Cranmer said the engineering students and Engineers Without Borders suspect the former water system is plagued with air bubbles.

She added if the village faucets stopped working entirely, the walk to the water spring would be nearly unbearable for the village.

To raise money for the projects, the Mustard Seed Peace Project hosts benefits. This year is the fourth year for the project’s family-friendly Harvest Dinner held at The Nature Institute in Godfrey. This year’s dinner will

At 5:30 p.m., the program begins with a presentation about Mayan culture by Ruben Dario Gomez Gonzalez. Gonzalez is an archaeological tour guide in Guatemala who also acts as Cranmer’s driver and translator while she is in Guatemala. A collection of dresses weaved in Mayan styles Gonzalez brought to a previous presentation are currently on display at St. Louis University.

Dinner will be served around 6 p.m. and will feature food by local chef Aaron Whalen who utilizes several local ingredients for his meals.

“We have sort of a harvestthemed dinner this year,” Mustard Seed Peace Project chief fundraiser Ed Culver said. “It’s a family event. We all bring our families. We want the community to bring theirs as well. We are a community group.”

Culver has worked with the rest of the members of the organization to create the event while Cranmer was working in Guatemala.

Slain Illinois officer identified as veteran cop and father of four; manhunt continues dan Hinkel, dan moran, Frank abderHolden and lauren ZumbacH cHicago tribune

The Fox Lake police officer shot and killed while chasing three suspects Tuesday morning was a 30year veteran of the force who went by the nickname “G.I. Joe” and was married with four children, according to police and family.

“He’s got four sons who are going to have to go on alone,” said Terry Resetar, mother-in-law of the slain officer, Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, 52.

Gliniewicz radioed shortly before 8 a.m. while on routine patrol that he was going to check on some suspicious activity, Lake County sheriff’s spokesman Chris Covelli said during a news conference.

He then radioed he was in a “foot pursuit” but communication was lost after that, Covelli said. Other officers responded and found him shot near Route 12 and Sayton Road, he said.

Gliniewicz was discovered in a marshy area, stripped of his gun and other gear, according to Lake County Undersheriff Raymond Rose. He died at the scene, the undersheriff said.

Police established a perimeter and sent helicopters into the air as they sought three suspects, described only as a black male and two white males, Rose said. Several canine units were also dispatched, as well as SWAT teams in camouflage.

With the help of U.S. marshals, teams of police from throughout the county searched surrounding woods and businesses in the area. By 4 p.m. no arrests had been made as more than 100 police officers continued the search.

Parents were asked to pick up their children at local schools.

Friends and colleagues remembered

Gliniewicz as fun-loving and optimistic and dedicated to his work.

“This should never happen. Joey just loved his job,” said Thomas Poulos, a retired Waukegan police officer who said he went to high school with Gleniewicz in Antioch.

They both graduated in 1981, Poulos said.

They stayed in touch and saw each other at local events and reunions, Poulos said, and it was clear that Gliniewicz — known as “Joe” or “Joey” in high school — enjoyed his job. Gliniewicz helped with the police department’s explorers program, which allows young adults to look into careers in policing.

“Loved his job, loved his kids, loved his wife, and he loved those explorers,” said Poulos, who now lives in California. “He was just a delight to be around. ... Not a bad bone in his body.”

Fox Lake Mayor Donny Schmidt called Gliniewicz “a very dear friend.”

“We lost a family member,” he said at an afternoon news conference.

“G.I. Joe was the father of four boys and a dedicated officer.”

Rose said police across Lake County knew Gliniewicz for his affiliation with the local police explorers program.

“He, as the leader of that, had a tremendous impact on a lot of young people in the county,” Rose said.

“Today the Fraternal Order of Police lost a fellow member and brother who died heroically serving his community,” Illinois FOP President Chris Southwood said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the slain officer’s family, friends and fellow police officers. He leaves a legacy of several decades of service to Fox Lake for which we are humbly grateful.”

Hours after the shooting, Nathan

Muehlfelder learned that he had lost one of his regular customers at Good Family Tattoo in Lake Villa.

Muehlfelder guessed that he had done half of Gliniewicz’s body art, including tattoos of his police badges.

“He was a super nice guy. He was always loud when he was here, you could hear him a mile away,” Muehlfelder said. “He always did things for the community, especially with the police explorers. He was always a really happy guy. Never angry, always laughing.”

Residents in the area reacted with shock as armed police patrolled their neighborhoods and helicopters thumped overhead.

Jill Heyn and Brad Pekarik live in Ingleside, minutes from where the shooting occurred. They heard helicopters all morning as the search intensified and saw officers walking around Gavin Middle School down the block.

“My neighbor came out hysterical,” said Brad Pekarik, who has lived here on Stanton Bay on Fox Lake for about 16 years. “It’s not a good thing.

Everybody’s a little crazy these days.”

Jill Heyn said it “feels like our paradise has been spoiled. It’s just one story after another. Blue lives matter.”

Michael Drewer, of Fox Lake, owner of the Dipstick Oil Change, now surrounded by yellow police tape, said there were a half-dozen officers blocking off roads at Sayton and Route 12 when he arrived at work in the morning.

“Then a half-hour later, [the number of police] ballooned quite a bit,” he said. “They checked our security video and then told me I wouldn’t be doing any business today.”

Covelli said the suspects should be considered dangerous and advised residents to stay indoors if possible.

Will the Republican approach to ACA work?

Larry Levitt | Los angeLes times

Just like in the 2012 election, every Republican candidate for president wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Some of the candidates have even come forward with ideas for replacing it, and we are beginning to get a sense of what Republican health care reform might look like.

Judging from rhetoric alone, Republicans seem to want to achieve what Obamacare has already accomplished.

For example, in a recent op-ed, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio wrote that “we need to make affordable, quality health care accessible in the 21st century.” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, for his part, wants to “provide refundable tax credits to individuals who do not have employer-based coverage to make health insurance more affordable,” and to “protect all Americans with preexisting conditions.”

However, Republicans’ policy ideas are quite different from what’s in the ACA — in expected ways.

Republicans want less regulation and lower federal spending. They also want to provide less help for

those with low incomes.

Consider, for instance, the various concepts for protecting people with preexisting health conditions — an idea everyone wants to get behind.

The ACA requires insurers to accept all consumers regardless of their health during annual open enrollment periods and prohibits premium surcharges for people who are sick.

To discourage people from waiting until they are ill to buy insurance, the law also takes the unpopular step of requiring most people to buy insurance or pay a tax penalty.

The emerging Republican plans, by contrast, eschew federal regulation of the insurance market.

Walker, Rubio and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have all discussed using state-based high-risk pools, which would theoretically provide affordable coverage to people with serious health problems.

Historically, however, highrisk pools haven’t been effective.

Thirty-four states had high-risk pools before the ACA went into effect, and they typically charged premiums 50 percent to 100 percent above prevailing rates for people who were healthy and could get private insurance. Making high-risk pools work requires

adequate government funding. So far, candidate proposals have not been specific on how much money would be provided.

Republicans and Democrats also disagree on how to decrease the number of people who are uninsured. The ACA provides premium subsidies for low- and middle-income households buying coverage in the new health insurance marketplaces, which help make coverage more affordable for families with incomes up to four times the poverty level ($97,000 for a family of four). Simultaneously, the law expands Medicaid eligibility to everyone who is poor or near poor (at the states’ discretion, following a decision by the Supreme Court).

The Republican plans issued so far would all roll back the Medicaid expansion and instead cap federal funding for the program, which could lead to reduced coverage for those who are poor.

To replace the premium subsidies in the ACA, Jindal would provide a standard deduction for health insurance, which would help middle- and higher-income taxpayers buying insurance on their own but would be of little use to

lower-income people, who are in low tax brackets or owe no income tax at all.

The Walker plan is the most expansive from a Republican candidate so far. It would provide refundable tax credits to people who buy their own insurance, meaning they would receive money back from the government even if they didn’t owe any taxes. The proposed tax credits would vary by age — ranging from $900 to $3,000 — but not by income. They are similar on average to the ACA’s premium subsidies, but they would provide more help to people with high incomes and generally less help to those with low incomes.

Current Republican plans also include other ideas that have been around for a while, such as allowing people to buy insurance across state lines. That, however, is unlikely to increase the availability of insurance much because major insurers typically operate in many states already.

What prevents insurers from expanding their markets is the challenge of putting together pricecompetitive networks of doctors and hospitals. Permitting the sale of insurance across state lines would not

make that any easier, while tending to weaken consumer protections because insurers could set up shop in more lightly regulated states.

Would these Republican approaches work? That depends on your definition of “work.”

When compared with the ACA, the Republican plans would enable fewer people to obtain insurance.

And, unlike the ACA, none would guarantee that people with preexisting conditions would have access to affordable coverage. By these yardsticks, the Republican proposals are not actually “replacements” for the ACA. If, however, the goal is to scale back regulation and decrease federal spending while also providing help (albeit more modest) to the uninsured and people with preexisting conditions, then these plans would certainly be considered effective.

For decades it was Democrats who emphasized reforming the health care system, an ambition that was realized when the ACA passed in 2010. Now, with the ACA in place and 16 million more people insured, the tables are turned and it’s Republicans who want to upend the status quo.

‘Gears of War’ returns with bloody new makeover grant meyer | @GrentMeyerDE

“Gears of War: Ultimate Edition” chainsaws its way to Xbox One. Epic Games released “Gears of War” in 2006 exclusively for the Xbox 360. This game helped define the power difference between the original Xbox and Xbox 360.

“Gears of War: Ultimate Edition,” is a remaster of “Gears of War” by The Coalition.

This is a great product and remastering of a classic game, which is well worth playing as both a revisit or a first time experience.

Starring the iconic and stoic soldier Marcus Fenix and his squad, players control them as they help their government fight against a worldwide invasion from the monster-like Locust.

The game has plenty of new elements added to it. The first is

the improved visuals. Ironically, it almost looks too clean for a game supposed to be dark and gritty in its visual aesthetic.

Every cutscene was fully redone with new animations and camera work, raising the presentation of the game greatly and improving storytelling.

A major selling point of this product is the previously unavailable chapters of the story.

This content was initially only part of the PC version of the original “Gears of War.” At first I expected this to a be a small addition, but I was surprised at how much this content added to the game. It has its own narrative, cutscenes, humor and even ends with a boss fight.

The classic “Gears of War” multiplayer returns with a few added perks. Every map released for the original game — including extra downloadable maps — are included. A few new game

variants are incorporated like the popular Team Deathmatch, which is still great.

Unfortunately, even with the inclusion of the maps and modes, multiplayer still feels somewhat slow or old. I could not shake the feeling I would rather be playing the more varied and fresh multiplayer in later installments of the franchise.

As a bonus, The Coalition is adding all of the other “Gears of War” games to the package for free for the Xbox One sometime this fall. Just make sure to play “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition” before 2015 ends, otherwise this bonus will not apply.

It is clear the developers wanted to remain as true to “Gears of War” as possible. This is a benefit as well as a burden, because the original experience remains mostly untouched.

Certain aspects of the game do not age well by modern standards.

Cost: $39.99 Rating: Mature 17+ by ESRB Platform: Xbox One Exclusive

Branda Mitchell | @BrandaM_DE

The movement in the game is not as smooth as the later entries in the series. Furthermore, it

keeps the old checkpoint system, which is poorly implemented and overly punishing.

“Ricki and The Flash” shines brighter than expected Jacob pierce | @JacobPierce1_DE

“Ricki and The Flash,” directed

by Jonathan Demme and starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Rick Springfield and Mamie Gummer breaks through negative expectations and a poor final act, making it a good film.

This may be a first for me, but I praise screenwriter Diablo Cody.

For the most part, Cody’s work comes off as pretentious.

This movie disregards that quality and portrays an excellence not seen in most films.

The Jacob Show

It starts with an old celebrity past her prime attempting to reconnect with her neglected family, and puts a feminine spin on it.

But Cody goes beyond just putting a woman in the role; the character generally comes off as a bad individual. She is selfish and lets people she cares about fall to the wayside. Making a strong, dynamic character is more than just having them accomplish goals, it is also about seeing them fail.

“Ricki and The Flash” only fails in one aspect — but it is a huge aspect; an entire section of the film bombs by completely misses striking the audience.

Experienced tennis transfer hoping to kickstart Salukis evan Jones | @evanJones_de

The SIU men’s tennis team has its sights set high with new faces joining in on the effort.

Junior transfer student Wilder Pimentel is coming off a successful season at Virginia Commonwealth University. He is an addition coach Dann Nelson is anxious to see in maroon and white.

Pimentel made the first team Atlantic 10 Conference Team his sophomore year and helped the Rams make it to the conference finals in back-to-back seasons. After falling short in their conference finals twice, Pimentel felt the team morale at VCU shifted for the worse.

“I was looking for a university that would give me the motivation to play tennis — and that’s why I chose to come here,” Pimentel said.

Before he attended VCU, Pimentel traveled to Italy, Spain, Belgium and France to compete in the International Tennis Federation Tournament and he finished 10th at the Junior Davis Cup. Pimentel was ranked as high as 298th in the 16 and under division.

Pimentel practiced daily with former SIU tennis player Jorge Cavero at home in Lima, Peru.

Cavero split time at SIU as the number two and number three singles and doubles player from 2010-2014.

Nelson said Cavero was a big help in recruiting Pimentel.

and even introduced him to some teammates.

“We needed another solid piece, and that’s what [Pimentel] brings to the team,” Nelson said.

“He had other offers, but I’m glad he chose SIU.” Senior Jonny Rigby and Junior

Michal Kianicka were some of the top performers last year. Rigby finished on the All-Missouri Valley Conference team with a singles record of 20-9 and Kianicka led the team with a .737 winning percentage last season — Pimentel will fit in Nelson said.

Rigby said Pimentel’s two years of college tennis experience will help out younger Salukis.

“Last year we had six freshmen, we were a relatively inexperienced team,” Rigby said. “[Pimentel] is the caliber player that we needed so he

should help massively.”

The team is still in its offseason, and the lineup has not been finalized yet. The Purdue Invite is its first preseason tournament the weekend of Sept. 25. Every player will play in both singles and doubles, Nelson said.

Bears remain vague on Alshon Jeffery mystery dan Wiederer | ChiCago tribune

The Alshon Jeffery mystery has entered its third week with the Bears wide receiver missing yet another full week of practice because of a left calf injury.

Jeffery did not attend Tuesday’s practice at Halas Hall, the team’s final full practice before Week 1 preparation begins next week. Jeffery was also not present at Monday’s practice after being left home from the team’s weekend trip to Cincinnati.

Beyond that, details on the fourth-year receiver’s health and whereabouts have been hard to come by. Bears coach John Fox was terse and vague when pressed on both matters after Tuesday’s practice.

Fox asserted that Jeffery has indeed been present at Halas Hall this week, but still left the “day-to-day” label on the receiver’s status even though Jeffery hasn’t completed a practice since Aug. 11.

Fox was also asked Tuesday why Jeffery’s recovery was not materializing more quickly.

“He’s injured,” the coach said.

Fellow receivers Eddie Royal, hip, and Marquess Wilson, hamstring, also missed

Tuesday’s practice. But both players did some light work off to the side and were sideline spectators during the team portions of practice.

Now, any outside worry or speculation

about Jeffery’s status and availability for the regular season would seem justified.

Rookie Kevin White was listed as “day to day” when the Bears reported to training camp but eventually wound up needing

surgery to repair a stress fracture in his shin, a procedure that will likely keep the team’s top draft pick out the entire season. Safety Ryan Mundy surfaced on the injury report with a hip injury Aug. 18, then was ultimately placed on seasonending injured reserve on Sunday.

Jeffery’s ailment may not be so severe.

But until he’s back on the practice field, the Bears are leaving things open to interpretation. Jeffery was moving around training camp in a walking boot and crutches as late as Aug. 15.

Fox was asked whether Jeffery’s chances of playing in the Sept. 13 season opener against the Packers were diminishing because of the time he has missed and any setback in conditioning that the receiver’s injury may cause.

“As I’ve mentioned a lot of times, I’d prefer they’re out here,” Fox said. “But until they’re cleared medically, I don’t have them. So again, I can’t predict what’s going to happen going forward other than day to day. So we’ll assess it and the plan is hopefully we get everybody ready for Green Bay. ... It’s not like he’s sitting there eating bonbons. So he’s conditioning.”
