Voters do not approve of Rauner’s performance, poll shows

Do not smash these pumpkins

SHANNON ALLEN | @ShannonAllen_DE

Southern Illinois voters overwhelmingly disapprove of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s choices and the nation’s direction, according to a recent Paul Simon Public Policy Institute poll. The over-the-phone poll was completed by 401 voters from the 18 southernmost counties in Illinois. Almost 80 percent of registered voters in the region feel the state and nation are misguided, and fewer than 15 percent think that Illinois and the U.S. are making progress, according to the poll. “These results probably reflect some of Illinois’ current conflicts,” said John Jackson, a visiting professor, in the institute’s press release. “Most polls show that more people feel their state is doing better than the nation, but not here.” Although approximately 35 percent of voters strongly disapprove of Gov. Rauner’s performance, about 36 percent somewhat approve Sen. Dick Durbin and 43 percent do not know enough about Sen. Mark Kirk to have an opinion on his policies. “Kirk has a lot of health problems that keep him from getting around,” said Paul Simon Public Policy Institute Director David Yepsen. “This could be why so many people feel that they don’t know anything about him.” Kirk suffered an ischemic stroke in January 2012, according to Kirk’s site. An ischemic stroke occurs when an obstruction prevents blood from reaching the brain, according to the American Stroke Association. Yepsen said he thinks because southern Illinois is heavily dependent on government funding for universities, prisons and health care for the poor, voters do not agree with the state and how the Governor chooses to spend money. Illinois did not pass a state budget by its July 1 deadline because of disagreements among Republican and Democratic lawmakers. In addition to other cuts, Gov. Rauner’s administration has proposed stricter eligibility guidelines for social services like child care and programs for the elderly or disabled. Travis Washington, a junior from Flossmoor studying communications, is one of the many voters who does not support Rauner’s policies. Washington is also an undergraduate student government senator who represents 21 black student organizations on campus. “I respect Rauner, but I did not support him cutting $400 million from Illinois universities,” Washington said. “This was very devastating to public universities.” Yepsen said he thinks voters here are, and will continue to be, in a bad mood. “All you have to do is look at the disapproval rates to see that voters are not happy,” Yepsen said. “People in general are not content with the way this country is being run.”

Drinking events bring increased risks, hospital visits CORY RAY | @CoryRay_DE

Pumpkin-spiced beer may have found its niche. For four straight weekends, Carbondale will have some of the year’s most notorious events: Unofficial Halloween on Oct. 16 and 17; homecoming celebrations the week leading up to the game on Oct. 24; Halloween; and Tour De Carbondale, scheduled for Nov. 7. Dubbed “Drunktober” on social media, the celebrations bring multiple opportunities to drink alcohol. With the exception of homecoming — a university-supported occasion, which includes a tailgate — the events are historically oriented around bingedrinking. “As a culture, we drink to celebrate things,” said Jane Nichols, professor at the SIU Rehabilitation Institute. “It’s a norm when there’s an event to

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

have alcohol associated with it.” Nichols said many people who attend these events will celebrate with alcohol and relates it to coming of age. But, she says, partaking in the binge-drinking celebrations comes with risks, like people who have not drank before drinking too much, too quickly. College students tend to become drunk faster than other age groups, Nichols said. Nichols said people should be aware of what they drink, as partygoers may not know what is in beverages being served or what types of alcohol are being mixed together. Consuming excessive amounts of alcohol increases the risk of losing consciousness or experiencing drug-induced amnesia, which are both indicators of alcohol poisoning. Nichols advises to never leave an unconscious person alone, as they could choke on vomit or have respiratory arrest.

Other signs of alcohol poisoning include slow or irregular breathing, seizures or hypothermia because alcohol — a central nervous system depressant — causes reduced brain and organ function, according to Mayo Clinic. Alcohol use by college students has remained relatively the same with time, but the use of other drugs is increasing, according to Nichols. Mixing alcohol and medications can cause increased side effects or abnormal and potentially fatal, physiological responses, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. “Every time you got out and drink more than you need to, the chances of you getting in some kind of trouble go up,” Nichols said. “It’s just a matter of odds. That’s the biggest danger I see.” Please see DRINKING | 2

Clinton goes on offensive in Democratic debate MICHAEL A. MEMOLI TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU

Hillary Rodham Clinton used the first nationally-televised Democratic debate Tuesday to go on the offensive against Sen. Bernie Sanders, accusing her chief rival of supporting lax gun policies while advocating an economic philosophy that she said would hurt small businesses. For months Clinton had largely avoided repeated opportunities to draw direct contrasts with the Vermont senator, even as Sanders surged in the polls, fueled by his call for a political “revolution” and unease over controversies swirling around the former secretary of state. But as she shared a stage for the first time with Sanders and three other Democratic contenders, Clinton was the aggressor, seizing first on the self-styled Democratic socialist’s economic outlook and later his voting record on guns. “When I think about capitalism, I

think about all the small businesses that were started because we have the opportunity and the freedom in our country for people to do that, and to make a good living for themselves and their families,” Clinton said. “I think what Senator Sanders is saying certainly makes sense in the terms of the inequality that we have. But we are not Denmark.” Clinton defended herself against charges that she shifted her positions out of political expediency, saying that she, like most people, adapts to changing circumstances. “I’m a progressive. But I’m a progressive who likes to get things done,” she said. But even after Clinton lambasted Sanders over his past positions against tough gun-control measures, the independent lawmaker came to her rescue when the former secretary of state was questioned about her use of a personal email server, an issue that has rattled the confidence of some in her

party and created an opening for Sanders. “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn email,” Sanders shouted to laughter and applause from the audience. “Enough of the emails,” he said. “Let’s talk about the real issues.” A smiling Clinton stepped toward Sanders on the stage and shook his hand. In her own defense, Clinton portrayed the controversy and the GOP-led congressional probe into her emails as politically motivated. “This committee is basically an arm of the Republican National Committee,” she said. “It is a partisan vehicle as admitted by the House Republican Majority leader ... to drive down my poll numbers.” After a presidential season so far dominated by Republicans, Tuesday’s debate in Las Vegas offered the nation its first side-by-side comparison of party’s five candidates aspiring to the Oval Office.

Two unrelated shootings at universities in Arizona and Texas on Friday left two students dead and four injured, continuing a skein of campus violence following the rampage at an Oregon community college on Oct. 1 that killed nine. The shooter in the Texas Southern University slaying remains at large. In the Northern Arizona University attack, an 18-year-old freshman has been charged with first-degree murder. Authorities say he opened fire on a group of students after a late-night conflict in a parking lot of the Flagstaff campus, leaving one student dead and three other people injured early Friday. One student was shot as he cradled a wounded friend, police said. Hours later at the campus in Houston, one student was killed and another person injured after someone opened fire outside a dormitory. The shootings come as a wave of gun violence on college campuses throughout the U.S. has reignited the debate over gun control. The shootings also came on the day President Barack Obama visited Roseburg, Ore., to console the wounded and the family members of the eight students and teacher who were shot and killed at Umpqua Community College. The Northern Arizona student shot to death was identified as Colin Brough, an athletic young man originally from Annapolis, Md. Brough was a member of Alpha Lambda

Delta, an honor society for first-year students, and served as a lifeguard at the Flagstaff Aquaplex, a city swimming facility. Brough also had worked as a lifeguard in Castle Rock, Colo., where he graduated from Castle View High School in 2013. Brough was a “super-lighthearted, happy person, very, very peaceful,” said one of his friends from Annapolis. “I’ve been crying all morning, I can’t believe it, man,” said Jason Egelanian, 20. “He’s my best friend. I’ve been bawling my eyes out ... I’m angry. A lot of anger, too. I’m angry at this person who decided he had to shoot people ... It’s a good chance I’ll be in that trial room watching that kid get sent off to the death penalty in Arizona.” The Northern Arizona University gunman, identified as Steven Jones, surrendered his handgun to campus police and was taken into custody shortly after the 1:20 a.m. incident, authorities said. In addition to the murder charge, Jones faces three counts of aggravated assault and was set to appear in court late Friday. The students wounded in the attack were Nicholas Prato, Kyle Zientek and Nicholas Piring. Their conditions were not released, but campus Police Chief Greg Fowler said “it would be safe to say [they were shot] multiple times.” “Nick Dimo Prato was hit in the neck and is currently in ICU,” his aunt, Terri Prato Gilgour, wrote on Facebook. She could not be immediately reached for comment. “Sadly, his best friend was killed in front of him.” Prato’s Facebook profile suggests he is

from Oceanside, Calif. His girlfriend, Abbey Norcutt, apparently witnessed the shooting and was also shot at, according to her father. “Nick ran to help his friend,” Earl Norcutt, who said he was at an emergency room in Flagstaff, wrote in a Facebook post. “Shooter had apparently fallen, then turned and shot Nick as he was holding his friend. Our Abbey was holding the other, second one shot, and was calling 911 as Nick was shot. She escaped being hit by the shooter as she ran,” the post said. Authorities could not immediately say what led to the confrontation. An Instagram photo from 13 weeks ago showed Jones wearing American-flag attire and holding a shotgun over his shoulder. Another photo, from more than two years ago, showed Jones posing with a submachine gun. “It’s a full auto kinda day,” he wrote. At Texas Southern University in Houston, gunfire erupted outside the University Courtyard dormitory about 11:35 a.m., said Eva Pickens, the school’s associate vice president of communications. An 18-year-old freshman was killed, Pickens said. The victim’s name was being withheld pending notification of his family. A wounded victim was in stable condition at a Houston-area hospital, Pickens said. Police have detained two “persons of interest,” but the shooter remains at large. The shooting was the second in 12 hours on that campus. One person was injured in a shooting outside the same dormitory around midnight Thursday, according to a statement issued by the school.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner in August passed a law granting immunity to those who call 911 for medical assistance involving an underage drinker. The law, which goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2016, aims to ensure individuals receive medical treatment if needed, as adolescents may not seek medical assistance for fear of legal consequences. Troy Vaughn, director of the Recreation Center, said alternative

programs have been offered in the past for students wishing not to drink on these weekends, such as keeping the center open until 2 a.m. As of now, the Recreation Center has not yet decided if it will extend hours anytime in October. “There’s a wide assortment of activities and offerings that are nonalcohol related that will be going on,” Vaughn said. “That’s our role ... of what we should be doing in providing [alternative] outlets.”

Young adults with autism work on building social skills — and dating

Lawrence K. Ho | Los Angeles Times Student Peter Moore, left, acts in a role playing exercise with teaching assistant Alberto Miranda, in the PEERS for Young Adults, a class for autism young adults on social interaction at UCLA on July 20 in West Los Angeles.

AMINA KHAN | LOS ANGELES TIMES

Standing in front of a conference room table on the UCLA campus, Albert Miranda fixes a wide smile on his face and stares at Elina Veytsman, giving her the once-over. Elina fidgets, growing increasingly unnerved. The students around the table giggle as the tension rises. Then Elizabeth Laugeson steps in. “OK, time out,” she says. “What did Albert do wrong?” “The evil grin,” says Peter Moore, 22. “What was that like for Elina?” Laugeson asks the class. “Creepy?” “Uncool,” Breanna Clark, 20, says emphatically. Albert is no creep, and this is no ordinary class. The nine students around the table have a variety of developmental or mental disorders; the majority of them have autism. They’ve enrolled in a 16-week program to help them navigate the treacherous waters of social interaction, and on this Monday night, week 11 of the session, they’re diving into the perils of dating. Elina, the program’s coordinator, and Albert, a Ph.D. student trainee from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, then act out a slightly more successful scenario: Albert glances up with a brief smile, and looks away. He does this a few more times. Elina, charmed, returns the eye contact and smiles. The class spontaneously breaks into applause. Laugeson, an assistant clinical professor at UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, laughs and turns to the whiteboard to go through the dos and don’ts of “flirting with your eyes:” Don’t smile with teeth;

don’t stare. Glance up briefly — but repeat the process a few times. She goes around the table, and each of the young adults — four women and five men — practices with either Albert or Elina. Autism is often thought of as a childhood disease, Laugeson says, and very little research has focused on adults. Resources for young people on the spectrum plummet after they turn 18. “It’s almost as if we forgot that these kids grow up,” she says. People with autism often cannot easily read the emotions of others. Tone of voice, facial expression and other verbal and nonverbal cues can be as inaccessible as a foreign language, turning the most ordinary social interactions into minefields. This, coupled with other symptoms of autism, can have serious ramifications for young adults. Eighty-one percent of autistic people between high school and their early 20s have never lived independently; 68 percent have never lived apart from their parents; 64 percent have had no education after high school; and 42 percent aren’t employed, according to the 2015 National Autism Indicators Report published by Drexel University’s A.J. Drexel Autism Institute. Those numbers are steep, and they don’t have to be. Laugeson and other researchers say many of the right social skills — for getting a job and keeping it, for making and maintaining friendships, and for dating — can be taught, just as the underlying rules of a foreign language can be broken down and explained. That’s the goal of the Program for the Education and Enrichment of

Relational Skills, or PEERS. “A lot of people think that social skills in general are innate, that you’re hard-wired in some way and that you either are born with social skills or you’re not,” Laugeson says. “But I think what PEERS has established is that this is actually a set of skills that can be learned, that you don’t have to be born with them.” Part of that, she says, is practicing different scenarios: how to plan a date; how to offer to pay at the end of dinner; how to politely decline spending the night, without reprimanding the person for asking. And she constantly reminds students to think from another person’s perspective. What does Elina think of Albert right now? How did that make her feel? Would she want to hang out with him again? “One of the things I like about this class is it helps one be more in tune to other people’s needs and desires,” says Joey Juarez, 25. At the start of class a few weeks later, Laugeson checks in with the students to see whether they did their homework. Did they have a get-together with a friend? If they didn’t have a get-together, who could they meet this week? Then she asks the big one: Did anyone ask someone they liked on a date? There’s silence, and then Peter, the class jokester, quips: “Cricket, cricket.” Most of the class titters nervously, but Breanna cracks up. “Nice one, Peter!” Laugeson lets them off the hook. “So maybe we’re not all quite ready for that,” she says. There’s a saying familiar to autism researchers: If you meet one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.

We medicate our moods and are the worst for it JULIE HOLLAND | THE SEATTLE TIMES

We insist on all-natural products in our baby food and household cleaners; why don’t we demand natural moods for ourselves? Americans suffer from an overabundance of processed foods, synthetic hormones, virtual relationships, silicone breasts and, now, fake moods, brought about by an everincreasing percentage of us taking psychiatric medications. The patients I meet in my Manhattan psychiatric practice are stressed, sad and scared. Many lead lives with little movement, sunshine or human touch, spent staring into a computer screen, under fluorescent lights. Chronically sleep-deprived and eating poorly, they feel terrible. Women shuttling between work (where they earn less than men) and home, straddling child care and aging parents, are stretched to their limit. They escape by drinking, texting, shopping or eating. My patients want pills to make them feel better but, honestly, I’m afraid it’s to make them feel less. Many psychiatric patients are

truly sick and need medication. It is my job to understand the risks and benefits of these meds, and I’ve seen them do a lot of good for people in real pain. But there is a big push to lower the standards, especially for women, for being sick and needing prescription drugs. The pharmaceutical industry spends billions in advertising and billions more paying researchers and prescribers directly. Women are inundated with messages that it’s pathological to feel sad or scared, with a barrage of ads that advance the question from, “Should I take an antidepressant?” to “Which one?” Recently my psychiatric journals have been full of glossy ads promoting a new diagnosis, “binge eating disorder.” A picture of a sad, lonely woman surrounded by junk food sits underneath text introducing me to the diagnosis, encouraging me to ask my female patients if they sometimes regret how much they eat, because they may be ashamed to talk about it. These ads were paid for by Shire Pharmaceuticals, the same company that makes the

amphetamine Adderall. But Adderall has lost its patent, hence Vyvanse, a new, ultra, long-acting amphetamine. Shire’s newer ADHD ads also target women, recommending Vyvanse for 12-hour control of symptoms “throughout her day.” It’s getting harder to remain unmedicated in the Altered States of America. Street drugs, speed and heroin, have come in, out of the cold, and are now Adderall or Vyvanse, OxyContin or Zohydro as Big Pharma expands into the recreational market. More women are becoming addicted to opiates and dying of overdoses, and more women are taking antidepressants and sleeping pills than ever before. We are medicating away our sensitivities and we are all the worse for it. Women are being convinced that it’s pathological to be emotional. The first thing a woman says after she starts crying is, “I’m sorry.” We are uncomfortable with expressed emotion, and we have been socialized to shut it down. But by suppressing this sensitivity, we’re stifling a piece that we need, that our partners and families need, and that

the world needs. When we are overmedicated as a nation, we lose our empathy, the natural connection to humanity. After 20 years of psychiatric practice, it’s clear to me that women today need more soothing than ever. Beyond our jobs and families, we are exposed to traumas worldwide, courtesy of our phones. Our empathy goes out across the country to kids shot on campuses; globally, weapons bought with our taxes kill doctors and children. We are wired for empathy, but it is all too much. For many, psychiatric medications are a temporary Band-Aid; adding amphetamines is not going to help. For real solutions, we have to look beyond the prescription medical model and toward a more holistic approach. With soaring drug prices and insurance premiums, it is no wonder a revolution is slowly brewing, with more Americans taking their health care into their own hands. They are rediscovering an herbal model of health care, using remedies with names like Phoenix Tears and Charlotte’s Web. The medicinal cannabis community is growing, educating

and supporting one another. There is no patenting a flower. Cannabis is an ancient medicinal plant, a weed that cleans the air better than trees and puts nutrients into the soil. The crop yields tons of hemp seeds — a complete vegetarian protein, oil for biodiesel and fiber for paper, canvas, rope, building materials, compostable packaging, and the list goes on. Forget Donald Trump, hemp can make America great again. And, of course, there’s the flower of the female plant: a painkilling, anti-inflammatory, metabolism-regulating, cancerkilling, heart-opening medicine. Side effects include a shift in perception, a dehabituation that may help you reconnect to the earth, to your own body and to each other. Cannabis can help you to feel more, not less. Am I suggesting you ditch the antidepressants, opiates and amphetamines in favor of a natural remedy? Not always. But the balance needs to shift. And I do at least want to pose the question: If we have a choice, isn’t a natural mood better than a synthetic one?

Pulse McLeod Presents ‘The Addams Family’ in a different light WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2015

JACOB PIERCE | @JacobPierce1_DE

A new outfit can make all the difference. The SIU theater department opens its 2015-16 schedule with “The Addams Family,” a musical directed by J.Thomas Kidd, which runs Oct. 22-25 at McLeod theater. The production is based on the Broadway adaptation of the famous cartoon, TV show and series of movies. To make it different from other versions, Kidd, along with his costume and make-up designers, decided to alter their version by using a Day of the Dead theme. Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 to remember the deceased. The show’s make-up designer, Andie Nicks, a graduate student in costume design from Colombia, S.C., helped create the productions concept. Everyone in the production is wearing cosmetics of some kind, she said. A lot the of the cast has pale faces, echoing some of the classic representations, but the 12 ancestor characters have unique sugar skull inspired masks. Nicks said this construction makes the play more upbeat. “To bring in the day of the dead theme when we are so close to Halloween will be a fun little twist,” she said. Each characters’ mask expresses various aspects of the individual, going as far to display how certain

ancestors have died. Because of this, Nicks said designing the play’s layout was a meticulous process. “There is a level of responsibility you feel to make sure these characters are definitely what everyone knows and loves,” she said. Libby Mueth, graduate student in theater from Murphysboro, agrees with Nicks. Mueth is a costume designer for the production, with the wardrobe also serving as her thesis project.

“You have to treat it delicately,” she said. “You don’t want to come in with a hot pink Morticia [Addams].” Mueth’s job as a costume designer involves reading the script, developing a unified concept with other members of the crew and then bringing images and designs to solidify a visual motif. Various states of decay are represented via make-up and costumes. To create several looks,

the crew looked at pictures of dilapidated and abandoned buildings. “We are looking at exploring how the natural world is taking over,” she said.

While the show represents some aspects of well-known productions, Mueth said the SIU’s version had to represent the group’s original ideas. Asia Ward, a freshman from Rockford studying musical theater, finds the idea of taking an old play and adding new elements exciting and comforting. “It’s really fun to take something everyone knows and loves and put it on stage, but also have a new twist on it,” she said. Ward plays one of the ancestors, a former spy from England who died by a firing squad. She said Kidd was very detail and ensemble-oriented. The make-up went through many stages and processes to get where it is, Ward said. It began really simplistic, but then escalated and became more complicated. She said making everything cohesive was important to the theme of the play. “The Adams Family is about family,” Ward said. “Whether you are living or dead, family is family.” Tickets will cost $18 dollars for adults and $6 dollars for children and students. Kidd will deliver a pre-show lecture at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday discussing horrorinfluenced pop culture. The lecture is free and open to anyone.

‘Sicario’ is a frightening, new-age war masterpiece JACOB PIERCE | @JacobPierce1_DE

The Jacob Show Multimedia To see a video report visit: www.dailyegyptian.com

“Apocalypse Now,” “Saving Private Ryan” and “Full Metal Jacket” represent the pinnacle of war-drama films — “Sicario” stands toe-to-toe with all of them. “Sicario,” directed by Denis Vileneuve and starring Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin, beautifully portrays the horrors and casualties of the rarely-discussed war on drugs. Like “Apocalypse Now,” this movie expresses a present-day war in the most harsh and unrelenting way. The realistic representation of war makes this movie impactful by not romanticizing or sugar-coating such an intense situation. The film hits a grotesque mark right as it begins. A SWAT team raids a drug home, which turns into a scene that would make a horror master

flinch. Dead bodies are gruesomely scattered throughout the home and “Sicario” makes no attempt to hide its audience from them. This and the movie’s dark, yet realistic, side characters strike a nerve. By the end of the film you are sweating, frightened and beyond emotionally wrecked. A combination of terrific writing, directing and acting makes every character multi-dimensional. Alejandro Gillick, played by Benicio del Toro, is the best example of this, as he represents what a person can become in a war. His background is mysterious and he represents a multifaceted character. Sometimes he is the ruthless assassin, other times he is broken, empathetic savior — in his own twisted way. His character represents the themes of the film and makes you feel a multitude of emotions towards him, a true sign of a great persona.

Sports Southern Illinois program uses exercise to help cancer survivors

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2015

PAGE 8

THOMAS DONLEY | @Tdonley_DE

Room 132 in Davies Hall is a place for cancer survivors to strengthen their lives. The room was originally a locker room before SIU Arena was built. Lockers and benches have been replaced by treadmills and dumbbells that Strong Survivors program participants use to rehabilitate their bodies. Philip Anton, associate professor in the department of kinesiology, helped start the Strong Survivors program in 2005 with Chris Georgantas and Jerry Bechtel of John A. Logan College and Southern Illinois Healthcare. The program consists of a 12week class teaching proper nutrition to people with all types of cancer and the development of an exercise regimen to improve quality of life through fitness. The class is held at JALC, but participants can use the Davies facility or exercise at home. Anton trains SIUC students who are then assigned to participants as personal trainers for the class. Strong Survivors is patterned after the Rocky Mountain Cancer Rehabilitation Institute at Northern Colorado University, where Anton worked on his Ph.D. until his wife, Julie Partridge, began working at SIUC. Anton’s cousin Julie Honerkamp died at 19 after a five-year battle with cancer. Her death inspired Anton to devote his life’s work to cancer rehabilitation. Dr. Carolyn Dennehy, a cofounder of Rocky Mountain Cancer Rehab, first turned Anton on to the idea of exercise as a therapeutic tool for cancer survivors. “I did Relay for Life and Race for the Cure and things like that, but I never really felt like I was doing

enough to honor [Honerkamp’s] memory,” Anton said. “I thought, ‘This is perfect,’ because I was really into exercise. I was going to get a Ph.D. in exercise science. And then I thought I could help people going through cancer at the same time. It was like one of those moments where all the planets were aligning. All the light bulbs were coming on.” Once in Carbondale, Anton discovered Bechtel and Georgantas had similar interests to him and had also recently traveled to Greeley, Colo., to meet with Carole Schneider, another co-founder of RCMI. Bechtel and Georgantas planned to teach classes on post-cancer nutrition and give participants step counters to monitor their exercise. Anton offered his expertise in exercise and his access to SIUC students to develop more comprehensive exercise programs. Southern Illinois Healthcare, which received a grant from the Lance Armstrong Foundation, provided funding for the program. Participants can use the facilities at JALC and SIUC free of charge any time, even after completion of the 12-week class, when they enter the Survivors Forever phase of the program. Anton estimates that about 430

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Philip Anton, left, exercise program director of Strong Survivors and associate professor in the department of kinesiology, talks with Joe Powers, a member of the Strong Survivors program at the John A. Logan College Community Health and Education Complex on Tuesday. Anton, in collaboration with kinesiology students, helped start Strong Survivors in 2005. Anton’s cousin and best friend died at 19, after a five-year battle with cancer. “I had always looked for a way that I could honor her memory,” Anton said. “Here was a way that I could help people who were going through or had gone through what my cousin had gone through.”

people have gone through the program with a 100 percent success rate. “In all of those situations, they’ve made improvements over their

Joe Powers exercises with the Strong Survivors program at John A. Logan College Community Health and Education Complex on Tuesday. Powers, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer about five years ago, has participated in Strong Survivors for more than a year. Powers likes that Strong Survivors takes a holistic approach to recovery, which includes diet, exercise, comradery, mental fitness and a social component. “It’s something that does provide a network for people who are in recovery so that they can essentially keep on the path that they need to keep to ensure more long term recovery,” Powers said.

first 12 weeks in at least one of the physiological categories that we test,” Anton said. “They’ve also made improvements in some of the psychological categories like quality of life, fatigue level, exercise enjoyment, their level of social support and overall physical activity level.” Joe Powers, of Carbondale, found out about Strong Survivors at a Saluki women’s basketball game in the 2013-14 season. He completed the 12-week class last fall. Powers was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010 and had surgery later that year. He has been cancer free since then, but said Strong Survivors has improved his health immensely. “The most challenging part was being open to changing some parts of my lifestyle,” Powers said. “Exercise, for me, is a dirty word. The idea that I would need to get exercise on a regular basis kind of scared me. But I saw an increase in my energy levels because I was getting out and moving.” Powers said the biggest improvement he saw was in the stability in his back. In his retirement, Powers teaches GED classes in Murphysboro and Du Quoin, and he said standing for extended periods of time during those classes is much easier than before. Brenda Poston, of Carbondale, learned of the program from a

fellow cancer survivor. Poston was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, and has been cancer-free for almost five years. Poston joined Strong Survivors in 2011. She said she wished she knew about it when she was going through chemotherapy. “It takes a whole team to fight this terrible, terrible disease,” Poston said. “And I think Strong Survivors is a critical part of that. They helped with my movement and getting my strength back. They actually make you feel like a human again.” Powers said the nutrition and exercise education are not the only program’s only benefits. “You get to know people,” Powers said. “As you continue to see them, you develop that sense that you’re part of a team. And it does help to encourage you to come back and see how they’re doing.” Cooper Springfield, a graduate student in exercise science from Champaign, has been a Strong Survivors trainer for three years. He said the program is rewarding for more than just those cancer survivors it helps. “It seemed like a good volunteer program to start with,” Springfield said. “But once I started working with the participants, I just found that it’s an instant gratification thing, to see someone getting better because of the exercises you are providing them.”

Cubs eliminate Cardinals from postseason with a 6-4 victory BEN FREDERICKSON St. Louis Post-Dispatch

What often seemed impossible has become reality. The St. Louis Cardinals have been booted — no, blasted —from the postseason by the Chicago Cubs. After setting a major league record with six home runs in their Game 3 win on Monday night, the heavy-hitting Cubs crushed three more homers as they eliminated the Cardinals from the National League division series with a 6-4 win on Tuesday in

front of a crowd of 42,111 at Wrigley Field. For the first time in their embattled history, the Cubs won a postseason series at home. They will move on to the National League championship series. The Cardinals, losers of three straight after winning the first game of the series, are done for the season. Cardinals starter John Lackey, starting on short rest for the fifth time in his career, couldn’t protect the 2-0 cushion Stephen Piscotty provided with

a first-pitch home run in the first inning. He surrendered an RBI single to fellow starter Jason Hammel before Javier Baez hit the first Cubs home run of the day over the right-field wall. It was the first postseason home run Lackey had allowed in eight years and 742/3 innings. Lackey and Hammel were out of the game by the fifth inning. The Cubs’ power surge continued. Cubs reliever Trevor Cahill picked up the win. Cards reliever Kevin Siegrist, who surrendered three home runs in the past two days, took the loss.

Clutch hits by Tony Cruz, who was a late replacement for injured All-Star catcher Yadier Molina, and Brandon Moss briefly tied the game 4-4 in the top of the sixth. Cruz, the go-ahead run, was tagged out at the plate. The tie didn’t last long. Anthony Rizzo homered to right in the bottom of the sixth, and Kyle Schwarber one-upped him, pelting a ball off the video board above the right field seats in the bottom of the seventh. The Cubs had their two-run lead back, and they didn’t let it go.
