Lake toxins may cause health issues

ANNA SPOERRE | @ASpoerre_DE

Those who live near Campus Lake have probably experienced a repulsive odor wafting through the area, especially on warmer days.

The smell comes from sewage leaking around Thompson Point into the lake, according to a former SIUC professor.

“My nose tells me that this isn’t right,” said Daniel Nickrent, professor emeritus in plant biology.

He said toxins within Campus Lake, located on the west side of campus near Thompson Point, can kill liver cells or cause neurological problems.

“It can form skin rashes. If ingested in a large enough amount, it can be very dangerous,” said Nickrent, who worked at the university for more than 20 years.

New sustainability coordinator plans for greener future Anna Spoerre | @ASpoerre_DE

The university has spent more than $1.5 million on sustainability projects across the Carbondale community since 2009 according to sustainability.siu.edu.

Geory Kurtuzhals will now oversee these projects as SIU’s new sustainability coordinator.

“I have one very clear vision: that someday, when people think of Southern Illinois University and Salukis, they’ll think of sustainability,” Kurtuzhals said after starting her new position on Aug. 31.

Kurtuzhals, who holds a master’s degree in sustainability from Clark University in Massachusetts, worked as an environmental education promoter in the Peace Corps before coming to SIUC. She hopes to focus on education and awareness.

“Sustainability is about our social, economic and environmental impact,” Kurtuzhals said.

Student-driven programs are encouraged because they tend to have a lot of passion and hands-on learning, Kurtuzhals said.

“Going forward, we are looking to partner with all members of the university in some way or another. No one is excluded from sustainability. It touches everyone.”

Every semester, students pay a $10 green fee. Proposed by students in

2009, the fee contributes to funding sustainability projects on campus.

Kurtuzhals works on the sustainability council with three students, three faculty members and three staff members. All three students are involved with picking the proposals.

“Students are encouraged to apply for green fund proposals and that’s very important because they’re paying this fee” said Cami Sockow, a graduate student from Redbud studying environmental resources. Sockow is a member of the sustainability committee.

Kurtuzhals said she likes the opportunity to impact future leaders. By the time students leave the university, she hopes they will be more aware of how their actions impact the world. She said the biggest way for every student to contribute to sustainability is through self-awareness.

“Do you turn off the light when you leave the room? Do you have the air conditioning going and the window open at the same time?” Kurtuzhals asked.

Lori Stettler, the Interim Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, was part of the hiring committee for Kurtuzhals’ position.

“Geory is very passionate about sustainability,” Stettler said. “She brings a wealth of information and I’m looking forward to seeing all the great things she can do on our campus.”

Fired gay teacher, spouse invited to White House to welcome pope Chris Brennan The Philadelphia Inquirer

Margie Winters and her wife, Andrea Vettori, have been hoping for months to speak with Pope Francis during his visit to America.

On Wednesday, the couple will take a big step toward that goal in a high-profile venue.

Winters, who was fired from Waldron Mercy Academy in Merion in late June after two parents of students complained about her same-sex marriage, has been invited with Vettori to the White House for Wednesday’s arrival ceremony for the bishop of Rome and leader of their faith.

Human Rights Campaign, which calls itself the nation’s largest LGBT civil rights organization, confirmed that it had secured tickets from the White House for Winters and Vettori to attend the event, which is not open to the public.

The group on Monday featured Winters and Vettori on its website in a video, telling the story of their marriage, Winters’ firing, and Vettori’s letter to the pope pleading for his intervention.

The couple, already planning on attending a full week of papal events in Washington and Philadelphia, were giddy with the news Monday night.

“Obviously we won’t be talking to the pope, but we will be in the vicinity,” Winters said

of Wednesday’s White House event. “But symbolically, it’s a great step forward.”

Winters and Vettori said the invitation left them feeling humbled and exhilarated.

“We continue to say it’s the spirit at work,” Winters said. “It’s the people who have been supporting us, moving this issue forward and in front of people.”

They continue to hope for an audience with Francis to discuss the lives and roles of the LGBT faithful in the church.

The Human Rights Campaign video featured Vettori reading the letter she wrote in July to the pope.

She choked up while asking Francis “to intervene on our behalf and countless other faithful Catholics so that we may not be condemned to live a life exiled from a church we so love and want to serve.”

Winters, in the video, said, “We’re asking the bishop to stop firing people for LGBT issues.”

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, through a spokesman, has repeatedly asserted that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia played no role in Winters’ firing.

Waldron Mercy is sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy. By church law, the school is under the authority of the local bishop.

Chaput in July issued a statement praising school officials for their “character and common sense” in

Winters, hired by Waldron Mercy in 2007 as director of religious education, said she told the principal at that time that she was in a same-sex marriage.

That did not present a problem until this year, Winters said, when one parent complained to the school’s board of directors and another complained directly to

the archdiocese.

The White House did not respond to a request for confirmation and comment on the invitation.

Winters’ firing drew national attention, with an outpouring of support and some anti-LGBT vitriol. The school hosted a series of private meetings with parents to discuss the controversy before the start of the new school year.

Parents of students attending Catholic schools in the archdiocese were required this month to sign a “memorandum of understanding” that on any question of religious principles and policies, “the final determination rests with the archbishop.” A spokesman for the archdiocese said the memorandum had nothing to do with the controversy at Waldron Mercy.

Uber attracts late night passengers in St. Louis debut LISA BROWN | @ St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Thousands of passengers turned to Uber for rides to and from their homes and workplaces during the weekend as the rival to taxicabs debuted UberX in St. Louis in defiance of regulators.

More than 40 percent of the 5,000 local UberX trips logged from Friday through Sunday came during peak bar times — between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. — indicating the service was used by people who wanted to avoid driving drunk, Uber said Monday.

Launched in 2010 in San Francisco, where the company is based, Uber has long sought to offer its UberX service in St. Louis but has faced opposition from the St. Louis Metropolitan Taxi Commission. UberX allows customers to use a smartphone app to connect with one of UberX’s private drivers for a ride

in the driver’s vehicle.

Friday, the St. Louis Metropolitan Taxi Commission approved the ability of ride-hailing services as long a criminal background check is conducted on the driver that includes fingerprinting — a measure Uber says is too onerous. Instead, Uber contends its $1 million commercial liability policy for every ride is sufficient, in addition to conducting background checks that screen for traffic violations and criminal history.

UberX began operating Friday morning in St. Louis and St. Louis County without complying with the commission’s fingerprint requirement. The company joined with riders in filing a federal lawsuit on the same day alleging antitrust violations. A judge denied a request

by Uber and the plaintiffs that sought a temporary restraining order to allow

UberX to operate for two weeks without commission regulations.

Uber General Manager Sagar Shah said the weekend exceeded expectations.

“It was incredible to see the positivity and response from the community,” Shah said, adding that about 1,900 local drivers have passed background checks.

Uber’s decision to launch in St. Louis is opposed by some local taxi companies.

Adam McNutt, president of Laclede Cab Co., said UberX launching operations locally without paying licensing fees is unfair. “It definitely puts us at a competitive disadvantage, McNutt said.

Laclede Cab has 174 permits for its taxi drivers who operate as independent contractors, and McNutt said the company plans to seek more permits.

Laclede Cab’s business wasn’t negatively affected over the weekend as UberX

debuted,” McNutt said. “We were busy,” he said. “At least as of now, we haven’t seen an impact from Uber.”

Laclede Cab added an app several years ago which has grown to account for 20 percent of its business. “People have gotten used to that, and we had a lot of customers using our app before Uber came here,” McNutt said.

In response to criticism over not paying the same fees as taxi companies, Uber’s Shah said its drivers are part-time, with most offering their services for six hours or fewer per week.

“It’s inherently different that the existing taxi model,” Shah said.

St. Louis marks the first antitrust legal action the company has pursued. “We’re very confident in our case, and this is not something we’re taking lightheartedly,” Shah said.

LAKE CONTINUED FROM

1

SIU professors took groundwater samples near Thompson Point in 2013, in which they drilled holes by the buildings and found water in the ground that should not have been in the area. Samples revealed the presence of E. coli, a bacteria that can be transmitted by contaminated food, water or other contact.

Test results also found high levels of a cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, called microcystis in the water.

However, it is not algae, according to Nickrent. The blue-green bloom believed to cause harm was recently re-defined as a bacterium, he said.

“Sewage is the problem,” Nickrent said. “It goes into the Campus Lake.

Nitrogen levels go up. Phosphate levels go up. This causes an imbalance in the ecosystem when you have too much phosphate in a water system.

Why we have this problem of the microcystis is because it’s out of balance. This is extremely eutrohic [or] when you have many, many nutrients that have been fed into a water system and it causes an explosion in the growth of organisms, causing an imbalance.”

The university closed Campus Lake recreational use because of “toxic algae” in October 2014 for the first time after the lake tested positive for blue-green algae. Warning signs were posted around the lake to notify people of its closure.

Kevin Bame, vice chancellor for administration and finance, said the university is not required to post the signs warning of the presence of toxic algae, but it was the right thing to do.

“When we found it, we disclosed it, we posted it, and until I get test results that say that the blue-green algae is no longer present in the lake, I’m going to maintain those signs,” Bame said.

Nickrent, who believes the signs’ vague wording does not get the point across, has seen people fishing in the lake this semester. The signs say to keep children and pets away and that fishing, boating and swimming are not allowed. Additionally, he believes there is a lack of signage — nine by his count.

Aside from the E. coli

contamination, the Illinois Department of Public Health has an advisory against eating bluegill from Campus Lake because of traces of polychlorinated biphenyls, a group of fluids used in industrial equipment banned in 1979. The Environmental Protection Agency has found PCBs that cause cancer in animals, reproductive system issues, immune system problems and other healthrelated concerns.

“No one should be eating the fish out of that lake,” Nickrent said.

As of last week, regular testing again confirmed the presence of bluegreen algae in Campus Lake.

“To me, this is bigger than SIU. This is Carbondale,” Nickrent said.

“Townspeople use this lake.”

He does not believe the algae is just a seasonal issue.

“We’re trying to identify the source of the phosphorous and nitrogen,” Bame said. “There is one theory that it could be related to a possible break in a sanitary sewer line.”

However, Bame said he has not found a break in the sewer line yet.

“That’s why we’re all kind of saying, ‘OK, where’s it coming from?’” he said.

The university conducted smoke tests by a third-party contractor this year to determine whether or not leaks are present. Tests are conducted by shooting high concentrations of smoke down the line in order to reveal any leaks in the line where it may escape.

“At the present time, I don’t believe that there is a significant break of a sanitary sewer line going to the lake,” Bame said.

The test results were given to the university Monday, but have not been released to the public.

“We have to make sure we get it right,” Bame said about conducting careful evaluation before releasing the results. “I don’t want to overreact to a situation. We have to be thoughtful.

We have to be responsible.”

If test results confirm a break, the university will have to replace the lines. The cost would depend on the location and type of break, Bame said.

Here comes ‘Trebel’ BILL LUKITSCH @BILL_LUKITSCHDE

College students facing financial strains and student debt do not always have the funds to pay for downloadable songs. With the new app Trebel, they don’t have to.

Trebel, takes a new approach to providing an on-the-go listening experience by connecting mobile users to free, downloadable content in exchange for advertisement consumption.

Users gain “virtual currency” through exposure to banner and video ads on the app as they search, preview and download music. They can then use the “coins” they accumulate to purchase music downloads.

“Trebel is for the student that can least afford to pay but wants complete control over what they listen to,” M&M Media’s chief of product, Corey Jones, said.

“We’re legitimizing the free download experience in a way that’s never been done.”

Trebel recently graduated from the development stage to the smartphones of students at a select number of college campuses, including SIUC. The interface and concept was designed by millennials, for millennials — as the parent company, M&M Media, Inc., states — to provide a free and legal way for cashstrapped students to get their music.

While some services such as Spotify and Pandora have helped reduce illegal downloading, they have not eradicated music piracy altogether.

Creating a new, accessible service for

millenials to enjoy music legally was one of the reasons CEO of M&M Media, Gary Mekikian, decided to start this project with his two daughters.

“When you listen to music, we make sure that that revenue is being used to pay the artist,” Mekikian said.

Mekikian received a patent for the technology in 2012 and the company partnered with a few major and indie record labels in 2013 to help kickstart Trebel.

Trebel is a library of music catered to interests and tastes, with items that can be sorted and filtered by genre, mood or situation.

Users can connect to and follow others who have similar interests, reside nearby or attend the same university.

Many of the features in the app’s interface were designed and suggested by some of the company’s more than 200 college and high school-aged developers.

The app is advertisement heavy, but that is the idea.

More ads means more money, and more money means more music. The company expects Trebel to reach more than 3,000 campuses and 30,000 high schools by the end of 2016.

When seeking out college campuses to launch his new app, Mekikian found that SIUC’s student body is both diverse and social media-savvy — two of the criterion he was searching for.

“We want to develop long-term relationships with students who understand the value in what we are doing,” he said.

Provided by Tribune News Service “Forza Motorsport 6” offers beautiful visuals, a wide variety of options and uses real-world physics to dictate how vehicles perform.

‘Forza 6’ finishes shy of first AUSTIN MILLER | @AMILLER_DE

Ladies and gentleman, start your engines.

“Forza Motorsport 6” drives its way into players Xbox’s just two years after the release of “Forza 5,” which left much to be desired back in 2013.

“Forza 6” makes up for the lack of content in “Forza 5” and leaves it in the dust.

More than 450 cars are drivable, twice as many as the fifth installment, and the game offers 26 racing tracks. More than 15 Ferraris, 10 Lamborghinis and an electric Tesla are all packaged in. Everything but a race car bed is in this game.

Not to mention, every car looks gorgeous. Saying a video game looks like real life is usually a hyperbolic statement, but these vehicles look just as breathtaking as they do in reality.

I could live the rest of my life never seeing a Bugatti Veyron in person and be content with seeing it in “Forza 6.” Flying around at 250 mph is astonishing yet terrifying at the same time.

The graphics and packaging of “Forza 6” are fantastic. Unfortunately the gameplay is underwhelming.

These games are known as a realistic racing simulation, and they definitely are, but they have hit a point where the games are so real they feel fake.

Various difficulties provide different amounts of ease. The lowest difficulty brakes for players and prevents them from driving off the track. But jumping to the highest difficulty feels like a foreign experience.

I have never driven a Formula One race car, but I think they brake a little easier than the game demonstrates on harder difficulties. Cars have to brake a mile before a turn to not fly off the track.

Moving down back to medium difficulty does not make the experience much better. Nearly every race had two possible outcomes: Players either pull ahead early and have no competition, or get stuck in a gaggle of computer players with no sight of the leader. A race may occasionally come down to the wire, but it’s not enough for a racing game.

As cool as it is to drive an F1 car — essentially a rocket ship

with wheels — it takes too long for players to take the wheel of those machines.

Driving at night and during rain are the biggest updates to the game. While the changes are refreshing, they do not enhance the final product. Yeah, it is cool to feel the car hydroplane over a puddle and drag off to the side, but unfortunately, the puddles are not dynamic, meaning they appear in the same spots on tracks every time.

Spending enough time in career mode, players can remember the location of each tricky pool.

Career mode is based around several series where players drive fairly average cars most of the time. Nobody pays $60 to drive a Ford Fiesta virtually. Not even owners of Ford Fiestas. Why should people have to finish several races in those cars when everyone wants to drive a McLaren?

“Forza 6” is great if you are a fan of the series. It looks wonderful and has bursts of fun, as long as you keep your playthroughs short. Spending several hours playing it becomes tedious and fairly boring.

It is not a terrible game, just underwhelming.

Report: Apple wants electric car by 2019 Matt O’Brien SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

Apple has set a 2019 target date to unveil an electric car, according to a report Monday.

The Wall Street Journal cited unidentified sources in reporting that Apple is committed to building an electric car and plans to triple its 600-person team working on the project.

Apple declined to comment, but the report was the latest to confirm what a general partner at Google Ventures on Monday called the “worst kept secret” in the Bay Area.

“There are more people working on it than work at almost every startup,” M.G. Siegler, a partner at Google’s venture capital wing, wrote on Twitter.

Still, longtime Apple observers remained skeptical that the iPhone maker wants to get into the car

manufacturing business.

“I would be much more inclined to believe what Apple is doing is looking to become a dominant force for invehicle electronics, and be able to do integration between the car and all the other services they offer,” said Van Baker, a San Jose-based analyst for Gartner Research. “Where the value comes is in the computing you put in the electric car.”

Apple already has an Internetconnected dashboard, CarPlay, that turns cars into a mobile Web device and will be deployed in more new model vehicles in the coming year. The auto industry, however, has been slow in accepting CarPlay or rival Google’s Android Auto — in part because some carmakers are reluctant to cede control of the dashboard to Silicon Valley.

Another observer who has watched Apple since the late ‘70s

said he doubts the Cupertino company wants to take on Detroit or foreign carmakers, but he added that it “continues to surprise me.”

“Apple was a computer company, but they’ve evolved more and more to be an electronics technology company heavily focused on consumers,” said Tim Bajarin, president of San Josebased tech consulting firm Creative Strategies. “This transformation has been going on for almost 20 years.

When there were rumors of Apple trying a phone, a lot of us had trouble understanding why. Now we do.”

He remains doubtful, he said, “only because trying to do an actual car, creating a manufacturing line, a sales structure and everything else, is a huge undertaking. To me it’s more plausible they are creating a prototype car for the purpose of integrating Apple-related technology into the vehicle.”

Even Google, which has worked for years on self-driving technology and already has a few dozen prototype robot cars riding through the streets of Mountain View and Austin, Texas, has said it does not intend to become a car manufacturer. But it recently hired an auto industry business veteran, former Hyundai executive John Krasnik, to lead its self-driving division.

On Friday, the California Department of Motor Vehicles disclosed that it met with Apple last month to talk about the state’s rules for testing autonomous cars on public roads. Ten companies — including Google and most major carmakers — already have testing permits.

Apple also met in May with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to discuss the possibility of using the agency’s GoMentum road testing facility at the former Concord

Naval Weapons Station, though the talks did not lead to an agreement to use the site.

Online resumes on LinkedIn show the company has been hiring engineers with experience in self-driving cars, powertrains, battery systems and other relevant automotive experience, though sources told the Journal that Apple does not intend to make its first electric car fully autonomous.

Sunnyvale permit records also reveal that Apple in recent months has been fortifying an office complex for its car team, adding security fencing, vehicle access controls for a multi-story parking garage, an “auto work” area and other renovations.

In true Silicon Valley style, records show the remodel includes some recreational perks, such as a bocce court.

Wildcat offense has opponents second-guessing SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

A new package implemented in Saluki football offense this season has defenses preparing for three different players taking snaps.

The wildcat offense is a package with an offensive player — typically a wide receiver — taking snaps. The team has multiple options to run, handoff or pass the ball based on how the defense reacts.

The style became popular after Kansas State coach Bill Snyder used the offense in 1997 and 1998 en route to a No. 2 national ranking.

Recently, the package adjusted to include a more truequarterback style. The most notable and recent example was Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Tim Tebow from 2006 to 2009 at University of Florida.

The wildcat quarterbacks for the Salukis are redshirt freshman Matt DeSomer and senior transfer quarterback Matt McIntosh.

Saluki coach Dale Lennon said the package was chosen because the personnel is a good fit to run the package.

“DeSomer is great at that,” Lennon said. “He can still throw the ball and he’s playing receiver for us so it doesn’t take much to get into that. Then with McIntosh, his game is a lot like [starting quarterback Mark]

Saluki linebacker out for season SEAN CARLEY | @SCARLEYDE

Saluki freshman i n s i d e linebacker Cody Crider underwent knee surgery Monday and will be out for the rest of the season, coach Dale Lennon said.

Crider will be placed on a medical redshirt to retain his freshman eligibility for next season.

He sustained the injury during the season-opening loss to Indiana. He recorded two tackles during the game.

“He would have played a lot for us,” Lennon said. “But he will get a medical hardship [to retain his eligibility].”

The Salukis have eight other inside linebackers on the roster, one of which is also redshirting. Sophomore inside linebacker Tori Millender also left the game against Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 12. He returned with a medical boot, but is cleared to play against Liberty on Saturday.

Aidan Osborne | D AILY E GYPTIAN Redshirt freshman Matt DeSomer runs with the ball during SIU’s 27-24 loss to the Redhawks on Sept. 12 at Houck Stadium. DeSomer caught one pass for 13 yards.

Iannotti’s ... so those two are almost ideal.”

DeSomer, who also plays wide receiver, played in both games this season, recording to 11 carries for 60 yards.

“I just need to get in there and contribute,” DeSomer said. “I

just get in there, get those yards and first downs.”

McIntosh has not received as much time because of a lingering hamstring injury sustained in the preseason. He registered 19 yards on five carries against Indiana — the only game he

played in — during week one.

“Instead of three weeks, I only had a week and a half to prove myself so I’m just trying to fit into the offense any way I can,” he said.

Giving Iannotti a break, who finds this extra time to breathe

important, is another key of this package.

“They’re both just amazing, dynamic players,” Iannotti said.

“It can be a 1-2-3 punch back there. We all trust each other back there and we can all get yards.”

THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE

Despite being a position of depth, SIU’s running backs have the least height in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

The average Saluki tailback is 5 feet, 8.6 inches tall. The average Valley running back stands 5 feet, 10.5 inches.

Saluki junior running back Aaron Stanton is the shortest player in the MVFC at 5 feet, 5 inches. He leads the team’s running backs in carries.

Stanton said his lack of height translates to a low center of gravity, which makes it harder for defenders to get low enough to bring him down.

“I like to use that to my advantage,” Stanton said. “You’ve just got to know the characteristics of your body when you run.”

Stanton said he likes to hide behind his blockers before hitting an open hole, but said there are some drawbacks to that running style.

“You can’t see everybody’s heads, so you have to look through gaps,” Stanton said. “It’s kind of harder to read stuff out every once in a while.”

Sophomore Cameron Walter and freshman Daquan Isom are second among Saluki running

backs in carries — both are 5 feet, 8 inches tall.

Injury is a common concern

among smaller football players.

Walter said even if the Saluki backs are at higher risk of getting hurt, it is not something they can worry about.

“You can’t have any fear going into the game,” Walter said.

“You’ve got to be a warrior out there. It’s hit or be hit.”

Running backs coach Larry Warner — who stands 5 feet, 5 inches — played running back at SIU from 2007 to 2008. He said size is not very important for the position.

“Playing running back has never been a height thing for me,” Warner said. “It’s all about hitting the hole.”

Warner led SIU with 1,265 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2008. He was second on the team in rushing yards and third in all-purpose yards in 2007.

Historically, Saluki running backs have come in all shapes and sizes. Brandon Jacobs, who is 6 feet, 4 inches and weighs 260 pounds, led SIU with 19 touchdowns and 992 yards rushing in 2004. Jacobs has since won two Super Bowl rings with the New York Giants.
