From campus bars to University board BY GILLIAN DUNLOP ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Once a student DJ at KAM’S and now a physician at the Christie Clinic in Champaign, Stuart King was appointed a member of the University Board of Trustees by Gov. Bruce Rauner on July 21. King is the first local representative on the Board in over a decade. King, who received his BA, MD and MBA degrees from the University of Illinois, said he’s delighted to give back to the community. “It was something that had never really crossed my mind until I saw Dr. (Timothy) Koritz and I thought ‘you know, this is a guy who is giving back to the University. He’s lending expertise. He’s serving,’” he said. Born and raised in Champaign, King began to take advantage of the educational opportunities in the community when he took a class on aviation at Parkland College when he was 16 years old. Although he did not receive his pilot’s licence until 1999, he has since bought a six-seater plane with a propeller on the front. “I just love to fly, it’s such a joy to be up in the sky,” he said. “Every few months we’ll travel to see my wife’s family down in North Carolina. Lately I’ve been pursuing aerobatic flying.” Jeff Brown, dean of the College of Business and close personal friend and neighbor of King’s, said it is wonderful that King is so well ingrained into the community. “It’s a huge positive, because he knows the University and this community really well,” Brown said. “He knows a lot of faculSEE BOARD | 3A

As repairs continue within the Altgeld Chime Tower, the chime players’ program has been preparing for the tower’s indefinite reopening. Associate Provost for Capital Planning Matthew Tomaszewski announced the creation of an official leadership position within the Altgeld chime musical program in an email sent to chime players this summer. The position will be based within the College of Fine and
Tower eventually reopens. “When I heard that they (University officials) were going to do this,” said Smith, “I was glad to know that they were interested in keeping the program running. It shows that the higher-ups within the school are concerned with keeping the chimes going.” Smith’s position is the first of its kind in a program which has been solely volunteer-led since the tower’s bells were installed in 1920. “I’m excited to be a part of this and I hope the other chimes play-
ers are too,” he said. “This is sort of a transition for the Bell Tower, and it’s kind of an historic thing because this has never happened.” For many chimes players, the closure of the tower in March for repairs endangered the future of the chimes program; the program was particularly at risk after the discontinuation of public tours of the tower, a common initiator in recruiting chimes players.

1,000 miles away, Hurricane Harvey still affects campus community BY KAREN LIU STAFF WRITER
Although the Champaign-Urbana area remained mainly sunny this past week, Hurricane Harvey still casts a shadow on the local community. As an effort to combat this, local organizations are coming together to help those who have been affected by the flood. Phillip Smith, sophomore in FAA who was born and raised in Houston, found out his house is damaged beyond repair from the flood. Smith said the water level rose to over six feet at its peak. “(My parents) were rescued by the coastguards. That’s the point where the water starts getting higher and higher and a lot quicker, and it’s harder to escape,” Smith said. Smith said it is uncertain if his family can ever go back to their house, and the flood is going to have a severe impact on their lifestyle. “We had four cars, all of them are gone, washed away by the hur-
ricane,” he said. “The only way to improve from here is to spend money, and some people unfortunately don’t have that money.” Although heavily impacted by the flood, Smith said he feels fortunate to still have food on his table and a roof over his head. Meanwhile, he urges people to help those who have less. “It’s something that once you’ve been through it, it opens your eyes and makes you realize how much we need other people,” he said. “It can’t be only the people you know; you have to branch out of your comfort zone, you have to go the extra mile. It takes a team. At least of being aware of what people are going through.” Amelia Mugavero, a University alumna from Texas, said it is heartbreaking and disturbing to see a whole city underwater. “More and more people are in danger and in fear (for) their lives. They’ve lost everything,” she said. “However, it also gives us hope to
know we’re all coming together.” Mugavero said thousands of responders and volunteers are helping on scene by giving out food and supplies. However, many people are still without clean drinking water. Mugavero also said there are many people who are diabetic, on dialysis or under cancer treatment who have been left without adequate medical resources due to the flooding. According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, at least 16 hospitals are closed due to the flood. “This is going to be one of the largest repair processes to date,” Mugavero said. “This is something that is going to be going on for several years; it’s not just going to go away in several months. This is going to be years and years of recovery for these victims, and that is just so heartbreaking to see.” However, many local resources

Students looking to rush Alpha Chi Rho out of luck BY ANDREA FLORES DAYTIME EDITOR
As undergraduate men continue the informal recruitment process, there is one fraternity they will not be able to rush this fall. At the end of the spring 2017 semester, the Alpha Chi Rho National Council approved a vote to close the Phi Kappa chapter at the University. The chapter has been on campus since 1916. This decision follows the fraternity’s inability to regain recognition from both the Interfraternity Council and the University in the last three years, according to a press release from Alpha Chi Rho nationals. The University revoked Alpha Chi Rho’s recognition as a student organization after a student fell off a fire escape at the fraternity’s chapter house during a party in fall of 2013. There had been speculation last year that Alpha Chi Rho was
seeking to merge with Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Pi Chapter. In a Facebook message, Delta Kappa Epsilon confirmed that “there will not be a merging of DKE & AXP.” Nicolas Hewgley, director of communication and development at Alpha Chi Rho nationals, said he had heard the rumor, but it was never mentioned by fraternity members. There are three fraternity chapters, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Sigma Phi and Phi Beta Sigma, who are not currently recognized. However, their statuses have expiration dates in 2017 and 2018. Alpha Chi Rho’s revocation of recognition was suspended indefinitely. According to the press release, Alpha Chi Rho hopes to return to the University’s Greek community in the future. There is no expected date of return.

Trevor Noah speaks about his book “Born a Crime” on Nov. 13, 2016, during the Miami Book Fair at the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus in downtown Miami.
“I think his comedy is fantastic, and I think his show is going to be really good for the students, especially in a college campus like ours,” said Dean Gozum, graduate student in accounting.
“The University should bring more comedians.” Noah’s comedy special “Afraid of the Dark” debuted on Netflix in February for those looking to familiarize themselves with the comedian.
“I’ve seen a couple of his videos, and they’re pretty entertaining to watch,” said Niyi Adeleye, junior in LAS. “I’m looking forward to it.” burszty2@dailyillini.com

Illini Hyperloop team competes at SpaceX, prepares for next year BY GILLIAN DUNLOP ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
“It was very stressful, and it’s a good thing,” said Dohun Jeong, electrical lead and sophomore in Engineering. “There’s supposed to be a lot of blood and tears. The last month before the competition, everyone was working an 80-90 hour work week.” The cost of building a hyperloop capable to compete is not low, however. “The exact cost of the total project is not disclosed to students, even us,” Jeong said. “The original estimate was $25,000.” Discounts were given to the team by Standard Electric Supply Company. Mechanical lead and junior in Engineering, Brian Bailey, said that most of the funding came from the College of Engineering. The 2018 SpaceX competition dates have not been announced yet, but the team is already thinking about improvements for their pod. “We like the basic structure of our vehicle, now we want to automate a lot of systems,” Bailey said. “We want to actually be able to move our magnets. We’re going to fix our breaks, we’re going to get some good data.” Part of what the team is able to do relies on its finances. “A lot of what we do depends on budget, but luckily this time we don’t have to redesign the whole pod,” Wendel said. “This year’s platform is much better and it’ll allow us to focus on the design. It’s easy to design something, it’s PHOTO COURTESY OF RICHARD WENDEL hard to manufacture it.” After competing at the second SpaceX competition in August, Illini Hyperloop is preparing their new pod for the upcoming year.
The Illini Hyperloop team competed in the second SpaceX competition in Hawthorne, California from Aug. 25-27. They showcased their newly re-designed hyperloop. A hyperloop is a pod that travels through a depressurized tube and is designed to significantly shorten travel time. The team made it through the first SpaceX competition last January and spent much of their time since then redesigning their original pod. “It was a complete redesign of the entire pod,” said Richard Wendel, president of Illini Hyperloop and junior in Engineering. “We took some components from pod one. We used the same wheels, but how we incorporated (it) all together changed.” Twenty-seven teams were invited to the second SpaceX competition out of the original 150. The final three were the only ones selected to actually put their hyperloop in the “vacuum,” which was the depressurized tube. To be one of the final three, the hyperloop must complete a number of safety tests. “We ran into a mechanical issue with our brakes that prevented us from going very far,” Wendel said. “We tried to fix it, did our best, but unfortunately, we could not make it too far into the competition.” The team members began designing the second hyperloop last February, but they did not begin manufacturing until June. gdunlop2@dailyillini.com

ty leaders and alumni as a result of that.” King had not always planned to move back to the Champaign area, however, after he finished medical school at the University and left for residency in Kansas City. “I was practicing in South Carolina, at that point with a wife and kids and a dog and two hamsters and a cat, this opportunity came up and that’s kind of going backwards, and I realized that I always loved it here,” he said. “So why is it going backwards? It’s really not.” Champaign served as King’s childhood home, but he said it is a different experience living here as an adult. “It’s a completely different town when you’re a grown-up and it’s a completely different town when you have kids to raise,” he said. “And the opportunities that this University affords the community are amazing. Where else can you see world-class ballet here? World-class symphonies?” King spent much of his time as an undergrad at the University doing research while also playing a few intramural sports. He said he originally wanted to be a computer scientist until a friend recommended he take a biology course, which eventually led him to medicine. “(I thought) this is awesome, I can actually have a career that helps people, it can be meaningful and impactful, it’s scientifically stimulating,” King said.

“We felt the chimes kind of had a unique tradition,” said Jones. “It’s not as though someone within the school wouldn’t do the job properly; it’s just that the program would lose some of those traditions.” The University has not stated to chimes players when the Chime Tower is expected to reopen, though Smith and other chimes players said that the tower’s repair progress suggests that it could be as soon as spring semester 2018. lukeac2@dailyillini.com

learning about the Board of Trustees and how it’s governed. “This is a guy who is very passionate about doing the right thing,” Brown said. “He’s a very upstanding ethical guy. I’ve learned a lot from him.” The first Board of Trustees meeting will take place this Thursday, and although King said he does not have a specific goal in mind for the year, he is excited to hit the ground running. “It’s important to realize this school has been invested in by the people in the state, and we have a duty to make sure it is serving the state and completing its academic and educational mission,” King said. “I want to help implement overarching policy and make sure those goals are kept at the forefront.” King has previously served as the voluntary Dean of Academic Affairs
at the University. He has also taught a few medical students. “Dr. Koritz and myself bring a very complimentary medical experience to the Board, from the perspective that he has a Ph.D. so he understands research very well,” King said. “I have an M.D. and an MBA, so I’m not really a research guy, but I’m in a healthcare group. So together we kind of form a good understanding.” To some, being appointed by the governor for such a position might bring along an ego boost, but Brown said King was very modest about the appointment. “He kept this very quiet,” Brown said. “I did not know it was coming. I found out about it when I opened the News-Gazette and opened a headline and texted it to him, and said ‘this just made my whole week.’”
“I mean, it’s a devastation we can’t even really fathom when you’re not there in it.” Burnett said the Red Cross also has trained health and mental health professionals that are providing people with the medical services they need. “It is traumatic,” she said. “People will have needs immediately and for weeks and months to come because their lives have turned upside down.” Burnett said the Central and Southern Illinois Red Cross has already sent more than 50 volunteers and staff members, as well as five emergency response vehicles, down to Texas.

Smith said it is important to stay thankful and be aware of what is happening in other people’s lives. “People who aren’t affected: You have your home, you have your family. Some people lost their loved ones to the hurricane,” he said. “Really be thankful to have your home, because when I left my home this August, I didn’t know that would be the last time I maybe ever see my home, or at least the home the way I knew it.” karenl3@illinimedia.com

Help Hurricane Harvey relief efforts
bout 1,000 miles southwest of the University of Illinois, Hurricane Harvey has left areas of Texas submerged under nearly 50 inches of water. Students may complain about the wind that has a tendency to whip through central Illinois. It can be hard to put in perspective just how damaging hurricanes can be for those who have never experienced one. It’s easy to push the news about Hurricane Harvey to the back of your mind and dismiss it as someone else’s problem to deal with. While many students at the University may feel disconnected from the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, our school is home to students from all over the world, and there are students studying right alongside you whose families are maybe suffering from the damage. Twelve years ago, Hurricane Katrina showed many Gulf Coast residents exactly how much damage hurricane winds are truly capable of. However, with Hurricane Harvey, wind hasn’t been the primary source of destruction. It’s been the rain. The area affected by Harvey has experienced a year’s worth of rain in just a couple of days. Some people have drowned and some have lost all of their possessions. There are people in this country right now that have had their homes swept away by the winds and rain, and will have to rebuild from nothing. We live in a country divided on nearly every issue in the book — immigration, climate change and health care to
name a few. However, Harvey has given people an opportunity to lay these differences aside in order to work together. Over the past week, alongside the headlines about Harvey’s dangerously deep flood waters, there have been countless stories about people dropping everything to help. Every day people are traveling hundreds of miles to help rescue, feed or provide general aid to those affected by the hurricane. Rice University’s student newspaper, The Rice Thresher, published a column encouraging Houston residents to unify. Students of Rice University, which is located in Houston, have been donating their belongings to be brought to shelters around the area. There are countless other ways we can help with the disaster relief efforts that don’t cost a fortune, even though we live in Illinois. College students aren’t typically rolling in a lot of extra money. We know this sounds cliche, but just cutting out on a couple of extra luxuries that we afford ourselves in our day-today lives can make a real difference. Every donation helps save lives and restore the areas affected by Hurricane Harvey. Donate extra food, clothing, toys and other supplies. People who are displaced from their homes have lost everything; any supplies could be helpful to them. Next time you make a purchase at Walgreens, donate an extra couple of dollars on top of your retail price to the relief effort. Other organi-

While it’s highly encouraged that all students become involved with RSOs, research or other activities outside of the classroom, it can be all too easy to spread one’s self too thin and become overwhelmed. Although finding your niche on campus can allow you to flourish, this can often come with the cost of being forced to prioritize certain aspects of your life over others in order to find organizations in which you’ll thrive. At a large university, it can be easy to feel like you have to be the jack-ofall-trades; however, on a resume, having a developed position in one of your favorite organizations is more impressive than taking on a smaller role in several different fields. Instead of bouncing back and forth between various clubs, find an organization that allows you both happiness and experience in the field of your choice. Unfortunately, for many students, attempting to balance a heavy workload in addition to sampling extracurricular activities can cause their mental health to suffer.

According to a study conducted by the American College Health Association, 58 percent of college students will experience overwhelming anxiety and 36 percent were so depressed they felt it difficult to function. Luckily, there are resources on campus offered by Disability Resources & Educational Services and the Counseling Center which provide everything from academic support and provisions to living accommodations to University students who need them. This is, of course, an incredible resource for students who have utilized similar centers in high school, but it is equally as important to note that many services are available to all University students even if they haven’t used them in the past. Considering that the transition to college can be a trying time and all academic years have their unique challenges, it’s vital that students are not only aware of the servic-
es available to them, but are also equipped with the confidence to reach out in times of need. Although the University does a great job of introducing students to the resources available, it would be beneficial for staff members to stress that students should not feel like a burden if they have to apply for testing accommodations or to let students know that seeing a mental health counselor, even for mild anxiety, is OK. If the University went the extra mile to make students feel more comfortable about utilizing the incredible resources available to them, it could help lessen the amount of stress college students feel in everyday life. The Counseling Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday in Room 206 of the Student Services Building and you can call to make an appointment starting at 7:50 a.m. Jamie is a sophomore in Media. jlinton2@dailyillini.com

BAKERY over the years from those who are now employees in the new bakery. Caroline Smith has worked with Tate for two years, and said that her job has come full circle. “When I first met Kaya, we were working together over Christmas,” Smith said. “She said she wanted me in her store to make coffee. Now, two years later, I’m here.” Other than coffee and cakes, Hopscotch Bakery offers a variety of baked goods. Tate said she never wants her business to be categorized as a “cupcake shop” because that is not what she’s ever envisioned for it. Teresa Beard has worked alongside Tate for a year and a half as a baker. She said she enjoys learning new things from Tate, who also does the baking for Hopscotch. For her, working on creating new flavors is something she loves best about the job.

“Hopscotch doesn’t just make what everyone else makes,” Beard wrote in an email. “There is usually a twist or something surprising about each item, and they all look amazing.” The unique flavors and surprising elements of the pastries are not the only things that set Hopscotch apart from other bakeries. The ingredients Hopscotch uses and Tate’s overall professional history as a pastry chef contribute to the unique atmosphere of the bakery. “I mostly worked in restaurants doing more highend, fine dining,” Tate said. “I think people put a lot of thought into that but people don’t put as much thought into, like, a cinnamon roll. So I kinda wanted to take that aspect and flip it.” Tate has devoted herself to creating a unique and local brand for Hopscotch, featuring local ingredients and classic cake designs that she said she feels people have grown away from. Tate said she looks for new things to offer
her Hopscotch customers so everyone feels happy and comfortable in the bakery. Not only are Hopscotch’s ingredients local, but the bakery’s flowers and other decorations also come from around town. Tate’s friends supply her with flowers and vegetables, and local farms supply various fruits and other ingredients. “Most places now, and not just here in town, but in general, use stuff from the box,” Tate said. “It’s bizarre; it makes no sense. We don’t take a lot of shortcuts.” Hopscotch’s devotion to making things from scratch means if customers want a custom designed cake, they need to order at least two days in advance because everything is made fresh. Customers who are not selective about their cake are more than welcome to stop into the bakery and buy one in the case that Hopscotch workers are constantly baking and decorating. Another thing that Tate said sets Hopscotch apart
from some other bakeries or cake shops is it does not produce any type of character cake or any decoration that would require the use of fondant. “This isn’t Cake Boss,” Tate said. “Those shows don’t come with price tags and I think when people want cakes like that they lose a little bit of reality.” All of Hopscotch’s cakes follow traditional patterns and are decorated with buttercream frosting. The ability to cater to all kinds of demands from the neighborhood such as meetings or even providing an ideal location for a school drop off coffee date has allowed Hopscotch to develop deeper relationships with the people living nearby. It brings back the corner market feel Tate drew on from her own childhood for inspiration. The unique feel of Hopscotch has not always come easily. Tate said there have been difficulties in the past month because it is a whole

new job for everyone involved. Despite this, Tate said she is hopeful and excited for Hopscotch’s future and is looking forward to the holiday season. “Nothing’s ever going to be
perfect, and we don’t want to be perfect,” Tate said. “Hopscotch shouldn’t fit in any box, unless it’s a bakery box.” meganmb2@dailyillini.com
Living-Learning Community empowers women in math, science and engineering POOJA DESHMUKH CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Joining RSOs or Greek life is one way for new students to get involved in social and professional life on campus, but for students in the Women in Math, Science and Engineering Living-Learning Community, the opportunity is right in their residence hall. WIMSE is located in Trelease Hall as part of the Florida Avenue residence halls. It was designed for undergraduate women in scientific and technical fields, although it is not restricted to any college or major. Nearly half of the residents are in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences — with biology as the most popular major — and 40 percent are in the College of Engineering. Lydia Khuri, director of WIMSE and three other Urbana South LLCs, said the diversity is what makes WIMSE unique. “WIMSE gives women in science and engineering a sense of belonging,” Khuri said. “Some of these women may be the only women in their classes, and WIMSE gives them a community that can help them navigate that.” Khuri also said the community’s diversity provides a support system for minority women pursuing careers in STEM, especially those who are Latina or African-American.
Cary Brandolino, freshman in LAS, said she chose to live in WIMSE because she liked math and science and wanted to be part of a group with similar interests. She, like most freshmen, was worried about making new friends, but being in WIMSE helped calm her nerves. “I know there’s at least something we have in common,” Brandolino said. “So it’s a starting point. If I walk up to someone on the Quad and start talking to them, we probably don’t have anything in common, but in WIMSE we’re all in the same LLC.” Brandolino said she enjoyed being able to move in early for orientation, a perk of being in an LLC. “I got to meet people in WIMSE and other LLCs in a lot more calm environment without the jumble of the big move-in,” she said. So far, she said she is
happy with her experience in WIMSE, though she hadn’t known what to expect before moving in. “My expectations weren’t right, but not in a bad way,” Brandolino said. “I thought (WIMSE events) would be either nothing at all or stuff 24/7. We have fun, but not so much that it’s overwhelming.” WIMSE also offers returning students the option of taking on leadership positions as peer mentors. April Wendling, junior in LAS, has been a WIMSE resident since her freshman year on campus. She said she believes WIMSE positively impacted her personal development and made her more social. Now, she is a head peer mentor and works alongside other peer mentors to welcome freshmen into the community. “It’s really something
between being a mentor and a friend,” Wendling said. Despite being directly in charge of the WIMSE peer mentor program, Khuri said she largely leaves the brainstorming and planning up to the peer mentors themselves. “I just ask them why, the logistics and what people will walk away with,” Khuri said. “I try to give them enough structure so they’re not left in the dark or overwhelmed. But I want them to make the program what they want it to be.” Peer mentors’ responsibilities include bringing together the community and organizing WIMSE events once a month. Although it can be stressful, Wendling said she enjoys helping the students in WIMSE get to know each other. Wendling said WIMSE goes beyond the social aspects by connecting inter-
ested residents with valuable professional connections and experiences. Through WIMSE’s researcher’s initiatives program, she got to work as an undergraduate research assistant studying restoration ecology with James Miller, an associate professor in LAS. She now works as an undergraduate research assistant under Feng Sheng Hu. She said she believes that WIMSE opened the doors for her to get practical experience in her field. To join WIMSE, students need to apply for the program and faculty members will then invite them for an interview. WIMSE gives priority to sophomores for research opportunities, but Khuri said exceptions can be made for freshmen, depending on the cogency of their argument. Khuri said she gathers various other professional

resources for WIMSE students as well. She set the foundation for the Beckman Connections program, an event that introduces students to faculty through tours of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Beckman Connections puts WIMSE students in contact with STEM professionals in an informal environment, Khuri said. She has two Beckman Connections planned for this semester that will take place in September and October. Other events Khuri has planned include faculty dinners and a WIMSE trip to St. Louis. She is also planning on taking the LLC students to the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District in December, where she said she hopes they will all learn something interesting pertaining to their fields, regardless of their majors. For Wendling and Brandolino, the year ahead in WIMSE presents many exciting social and professional opportunities. For Khuri, it is another year of what she believes is a rewarding experience. “It’s a powerful and positive community,” Khuri said. “It’s rewarding to see (the students) get research opportunities and be plugged in to what’s important.” pdeshm2@dailyillini.com

First University adult coloring book, ’Orange, Blue, and U,‘ hits stores EMMA PALATNIK ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
E BLU INI ILL
ILLIN

The idea stemmed from a routine staff meeting. It was there that the University of Illinois Press decided to make “Orange, Blue, and U” the first ever University-themed adult coloring book. It is 32 pages and contains images of landmarks such as the Illini Union, Alma Mater, the Main Quad and the Idea Garden. The coloring book can be purchased on the University of Illinois Press website and in select stores around campus. “I think somebody had said, ‘Why don’t we, if we’re going to do something fun and crazy, why don’t we do a coloring book?’” said James Engelhardt, acquisitions editor. “They all looked to me and said, ‘James, would you be willing to make that happen?’ I said, ‘I guess so, sure.’” Although this book is the first of its kind for the University, other presses have designed coloring books based on different college campuses. At the time of the project’s inception, Engelhardt was new to campus after moving from Fairbanks, Alaska. He used the project as an opportunity to learn about the University and its history. “I got to talk to several of
my colleagues and other people and wander around campus and look for those buildings (that are in the book) and try to take some pictures, and talk to the design team about what they wanted and how they were going to do it,” Engelhardt said. “I was really happy to just learn about campus and wander around it and get to know my surroundings a little bit more.” Even Dustin Hubbart, art director, who is from the C-U area, learned things about the University he did not previously know. “This was eye opening, doing some research into some of the different buildings and different areas on campus that were unusual to me,” Hubbart said. “I didn’t know Harker Hall was the oldest building on campus — I found that interesting. And some of the other things that popped up along the way like that. It helped me understand the campus a little better.” Once the project moved out of the early stages and all of Engelhardt’s pieces were in place, Hubbart and the design team took over. To start, various members of the University of Illinois Press came to them with ideas on what landmarks and buildings to include in the pages. Hubbart along with
MICHELLE TAM THE DAILY ILLINI
Tamara Shidlauski, production coordinator, hand drew each coloring page that ended up in the final book. They did some editing on the computer as well, but Hubbart said it is better to work by hand in the long run. Shidlauski said she mostly helped the project by embellishing and adding details to the designs Hubbart gave her. She did illustrate a few of her own images as well. Some of the landmarks, Hubbart said, were easier to draw than others, like the State Farm Center and Memorial Stadium with its straight lines and columns. “We use different images as references for each of the coloring pages, because some images might have had different areas blocked out and you can’t really see it because of trees or something,” he said. “So you’ve got to use different references; some had more detail than others.” At $9.95, the coloring book is priced for an impulse buy ,and it’s sold in the Illini Union Bookstore as well as on Amazon. The team wanted the book to be a fun gift to send to a friend, buy for a student, use as a holiday gift or as a stocking stuffer. Engelhardt said shortly after the coloring book was released, he had a conversation with a friend and she told him she was ordering one for her brother for Christmas. “I was like exactly, that’s exactly what this is supposed to be doing,” he said. “Just something fun for the U of I community and for alumni and to have to either remember, to have some fun with or to hand out to their friends to let them know what their campus is like.” For Engelhardt, one of the aspects of the book that appealed to him was the book’s whimsicality. The team hadn’t done anything in that category for some time. He also said he enjoyed coordinating with the design team, looking at what they were doing, tracking the development and planning what and where they want-

ed to go with the project. Through this, Engelhardt said he was able to build camaraderie with his colleagues. To achieve the final product, the University of Illinois Press team spent many hours working in the studio. “It was definitely a very laborious project,” Hubbart
said. “It took many hours and everything, trying to research different areas that worked well and also a lot of drawing, editing and that kind of thing to get everything to look just the way we wanted it to.” The coloring book was officially published in May and coincided with the Universi-
ty’s sesquicentennial and the University of Illinois Press’ centennial. “I think it just worked out really well for us and the timing was good,” Hubbart said. “I think things aligned themselves.” emmacp2@dailyillini.com
Local bakery brings nostalgia with neighborhood cornerstore MEGAN BRADLEY STAFF WRITER
A location surrounded by neighborhood homes and across the street from a local elementary school may seem like an unlikely place to find a bakery, but Kaya Tate has never wanted her business to fit in a box. “I feel like that’s kind of more our style; I don’t like new buildings, I think they have no personality,” said Tate, owner of Hopscotch Bakery + Market. “I loved the location of this building. I’m not really into strip malls.” After selling her baked goods and cakes at farmers markets, art shows and various festivals for two years, Tate built up the clientele and capital to take her business to the next level and open her
own store in Champaign. After working for a year on redoing the interior of the neighborhood building Tate leased, the Hopscotch Bakery + Market on 802 W. John St. has been open for about a month. “It’s funny because I used to drive by and think that someone needs to do something with this building because it’s so cute, and then I decided, ‘Alright, I’ll just do it,’” Tate said. Tate said she drew some inspiration for the building’s location and connection to the people in the neighborhood from the corner market she grew up near. By carrying products for people living nearby such as milk, eggs and butter, Tate said Hopscotch Bakery tries to bring back the
nostalgia of having a neighborhood corner store in the area. “We even sold a lemon out of our fridge to some lady because she was making a pie and needed one,” Tate said. “We try to actually listen to what people want, because that’s the goal.” The location of the bakery allows for a convenient stop for people from the surrounding neighborhood or for parents and kids from the local school to satisfy their sweet tooth. Tate said she wants people to feel comfortable in her bakery and she takes pride in seeing customers come in regularly. While Tate does a lot of the work herself, she has had help

Illini, Dudek scrape by with great escape against Ball State 24 – 21 BY JACOB DIAZ STAFF WRITER
QUENTIN SHAW THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois running back Mike Epstein dives for a touchdown during the team’s victory against Ball State Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Illini won 24-21.
Epstein impresses in first victory BY MIKE GASICK STAFF WRITER
Freshman running back Mike Epstein faced some of the best national high school competition during his time at St. Thomas Aquinas. He and his teammates lost in overtime last year to Bishop Gorman, the No. 1 team in the country, that had several of its players sign on to play college football. So the Florida native has seen what college-level competition looks like. He showed his comfort level in his first college game as an Illini on Saturday. “(Playing in a college game) wasn’t too big of a difference to high school,” Epstein said. “The players are a little bigger I would say. A lot of people talk about the speed, but I feel like we played against pretty good competition in high school, so I was pretty prepared for it.”
Epstein led the Illinois rushing attack, gaining 54 yards on 11 carries to go along with two touchdowns. He was also a threat in the passing game, hauling in two catches for 32 yards. Wide receiver Mike Dudek said he liked what he saw from Epstein and that he could relate to what the freshman is experiencing at this point in his career. “Man, (Epstein) did amazing today; I kept telling him all the time throughout camp like, ‘Dude, you’re gonna be a player for us,’” Dudek said. “I was the same way as him, just a young guy coming in here trying to find my role, but I told him, ‘Man, screw all that. Come out here and be a star.’” Head coach Lovie Smith was also impressed with what Epstein did against Ball State. He said Epstein is part of a talented group of freshmen that the coaching staff played Saturday.
“Mike Epstein has been good since he has been on campus,” Smith said. “He hasn’t missed a rep throughout training camp, so it’s not like (his success) was a total shock to us.” Kendrick Foster started at running back for the Illini but had a slow day on the ground. He could not find much room between the tackles and finished with 15 yards on eight carries. Reggie Corbin and Dre Brown were held out of the lineups due to injury. Freshman Ra’Von Bonner was healthy but did not see the field. This left Epstein with some opportunities to give Illini fans a sense of his abilities and comfort level competing at a Big Ten school. But Epstein said he respects how Foster, Corbin and Brown have become mentors to him from the first day he arrived in the summer. He said he understands that
HOCKEY
each of them will be battling for playing time, but it’s a friendly competition. “(Foster and Corbin) have been here a little longer than me, so they know some ins and outs for me,” Epstein said. “They do everything they can to help me, and I appreciate that.” With Brown and Corbin’s uncertainty to play heading into next weekend’s tilt against Western Kentucky, Epstein will have another chance to establish an identity. But for now, he said he has a grasp of what to expect from the college game. “College football is pretty much what I thought it would be,” Epstein said. “It was really good to be out there with a lot of fans. I dreamed about this moment, and I was able to execute today and hope to continue that.” @mike_mgasick gasick2@dailyillini.com
With his first reception in three years, Illinois wide receiver Mike Dudek caught a 16-yard touchdown pass to give the Illini a 6-0 lead over Ball State. Then, when the Illini needed a play out of him the most, he came through again. The Illini were down 21-16 late in the fourth quarter when Dudek busted off a 52-yard punt return to put the Illini into Ball State territory and eventually score the game winning touchdown. “It's been a long road for me,” Dudek said. "To be able to come out and produce for my team early on was kind of surreal.” They were emotional moments for the senior receiver, who has spent the last two seasons on the shelf with an injury. Dudek did not linger in the moment, instead reminding Illini fans what they’ve been missing without him, catching two passes for 47 yards, and gaining a total of 87 yards in punt returns en route to a 24-21 win. “Right when the clock struck zero,” Dudek said, “I got kind of teary-eyed just thinking about where I've been, thinking about all my teammates and coaches that have had my back through this entire process.” Other than Dudek’s touchdown catch, it was a trying 1st Quarter for the Illini, who trailed 7-6 at the break. The offensive line struggled to give quarterback Chayce Crouch the time to pick his passes, and the Illini could not move the ball in the air or on the ground.

David Heflin takes the reins for the Illini Years of hard work finally paying off for this team leader BY ERICH FISHER STAFF WRITER
winning five of them and having an .888 save percentage and a 3.21 goals allowed average. However, it was Heflin’s junior season when he really proved just how valuable he could be for his team. As the back-up goaltender, Heflin had an impressive 11-2 record to go along with two shutouts, a save percentage of .919 and an average of 2.56 goals allowed per game. Heflin gives credit for his development as a goaltender to his longtime teammate and the man he played backup for those two seasons, Joe Olen. “‘Joey O’ and I used to play with each other when I was younger and I was kind of his back-up back then, too. So I’ve always looked up to him in that way,” Heflin said. “He’s sort of led the way for me in that sort of sense.” While Heflin gives credit to Olen for his camaraderie, he is not unfamiliar with doing the same thing with his teammates. “(Heflin) was one of the guys I knew coming in last year. We actually skated together in Vernon Hills over the summer; he was one of the first guys I got to ask questions to about the program,” said sophomore defenseman Charlie Salk. “We became friends pretty much right away.”
Throughout these last three seasons, head coach Nick Fabbrini takes note that it has been a real pleasure to watch Heflin develop over the years. When Heflin got to Illinois, Fabbrini said there was “franticness” to his game, and now he has transformed into the “cool, calm, and collective guy” he is today. Fabbrini also says that what sets Heflin apart from other goal tenders in the league is him playing on one of the most difficult rinks to be a goal tender in, "the Big Pond". “His home games are on one of the most difficult ices to be a goal tender in; it’s bigger than an Olympic sheet. There’s more time and space,” Fabbrini said. “He’s got a taller task than most other goalies, but for my money, he is probably the best goalie in the CSCHL.” With the Illini’s preseason series against the Springfield Blues kicking off Friday, Sept. 9, Heflin is ready to lead his team through the high expectations set for himself and his team this season. “I’m just trying to lead by example,” Heflin said. “I’m going to go out there, work my (butt) off and see if the guys follow it.”
Senior goaltender David Heflin just couldn’t wait any longer. The anticipation was killing him, and there was no way he could avoid it. “I was excited the moment I got here. I even came here during orientation before that summer,” Heflin said. “I had to see what it was going to be like.” That was Heflin describing his first time arriving at the University of Illinois in 2015. Even on orientation day, where students are supposed to be figuring out how they are going to adjust to life on campus, all Heflin could think about was what the Illinois Ice Arena was like. Fast forward three years, and Heflin is now taking the reins for Illinois hockey, finally getting his shot at being the definite starting goaltender for the team. “It’s really exciting; my whole career I’ve been playing a lot and now for my last year I get to just take over and it’s kind of my team,” Heflin said. “I’ll be out there play@ETFisher24 ing for the guys and they will be Erichf2@dailyillini.com out there playing for me and I just can’t wait to get after it this season.” Starting out in youth hockey, Heflin was not manning the net. Instead, he was playing a forward position. However, for those two years, all he could think about was being a netminder. Even while he was playing forward, Heflin was relentless in his efforts to persuade his father to let him become a goalie. Eventually, his dad had no other choice but to give in. Hockey was not a popular sport at his high school in Mundelein, Illinois. When Heflin’s friends were off playing baseball and football, he was at the rink, refining his goaltending skills. And refine he did, as Heflin had a solid first season as an Illini. Even though he was the thirdELISABETH NEELY THE DAILY ILLINI string goalie in the 2015-2016 sea- David Heflin stands in goal ready to block any shots from Robert Morris son, Heflin received seven starts, University at the Ice Arena on Feb. 17.

overall with a time of 25:37.15. Gold came in eight seconds later in seventh and Hummer came in at 10th with a time of 25:54.43. Like the men’s team, the women’s side had some fresh faces to contribute to the win. Freshman Rebecca Craddock led the underclassmen with her third-place finish. However, it was senior Nicole Choquette who shined for the Illini, dashing through the finish line with a two-minute personal record of 18:28.89 in second place. Along with Craddock’s Illini debut, freshman Allison McGarth finished in seventh clocking a 18:35.22 finish while freshman Kelli Callahan finished at 18:42.42 in 12th place. Next week, the team is traveling to the Indiana State John McNichols Invite on Saturday. The women are racing at 8:30 a.m. followed by the men at 9.
In its official debut as a combined team, the Illinois men’s and women’s cross-country team swept the Walt Crawford Open at Eastern Illinois on Friday. The programs were recently combined by Director of Athletics Josh Whitman last November with Jake Stewart appointed head coach. Under his new reign of combined teams, the men’s team completed five top-10 finishes and the women had three. On the men’s side, freshmen Alex Keeble and Jack LaLonde made their Illini debuts after redshirting last season. Keeble finished third with a time of 25:17.71, followed closely by Lalonde in fourth with 25:24.52. Graduate student Luke Brahm, senior Alex Gold and sophomore Caleb Hummer joined the freshmen in top finishes. Brahm, normally a mid-distance track athlete, took fifth tp3@dailyillini.com

BY THE DAILY ILLINI FOOTBALL STAFF
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini football writers graded each facet of the Illinois football team’s 24-21 win over Ball State on Saturday. The Illini offense, defense, special teams and coaching were graded.
Offense F+ F
While the offense managed to score all four times they made it into the red zone, that’s where the positives end. Individually, Chayce Crouch, Mike Dudek and Malik Turner all played well enough, and freshman Mike Epstein breathed some life into the ground game, but the offensive line was a huge problem for the Illini. Crouch was sacked four times, and that really limited the damage he could do through the air. Then on the ground, the Illini had to take the ball out of Kendrick Foster’s hands early because the line couldn’t create space for him in between the tackles. To make matters worse, center Doug Kramer went down with an injury and didn’t return. The Illini will need to find a way to establish their run game in the future, because 2.4 yards per carry isn’t going to be enough against stiffer competition.

Coaching D+ D
It took a mixed bag of decisions by the Illini coaching staff to bring the team so close to defeat, and just narrowly escape the way they did. Right from the beginning, the decision to have Mike Dudek returning punts seemed like an unnecessary risk, but in the end, it paid off as his 52-yard return put the Illini in a position to win the game. And while the botched 2-point conversion on the opening touchdown was a head-scratcher and going for a 43-yard field goal on fourth-and-three when the team needed a touchdown wasn’t the best decision, overall the coaches decisions worked out. Deciding to go to freshman Mike Epstein outside instead of the proven Kendrick Foster up the middle was a crucial decision that helped the Illini win.

Defense FF+ F- F
The Illini struggled on the defensive end. Hardy Nickerson Jr., Dawuane Smoot, Chunky Clements and Carroll Phillips are not easily replaceable, so the team looked to multiple freshmen to step up Saturday. Ball State converted 12 third downs — many of those coming with eight yards or more it had to reach. Illinois could not get much pressure on the quarterback throughout the game. The defensive line was overmatched. The absence of Jaylen Dunlap also hurt the Illini in the secondary. Tony Adams was the first Illini true freshman to start at cornerback since Vontae Davis in 2006. The inexperience showed when Ball State quarterback Riley Neal found multiple receivers in open space. The whole unit has improvements to make heading into its next matchup against a more powerful offense than Ball State’s. If Ball State can convert third downs against the Illini defense, Western Kentucky can as well.

This unit saved the Illini from an opening day loss. One of the biggest plays of the day came from Mike Dudek, who returned a punt 52 yards late in the fourth. The return set up the drive that sealed an Illini victory. Punter Blake Hayes also turned in a nice performance. He had a 50-yard punt while also pinning Ball State inside the 20-yard line. Kicker Chase McLaughlin went 1-2 on field goals, missing a 44-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter. Almost all of his kickoffs were received within the 5-yard line, giving Ball State a longer field. Mike Dudek’s questionable decision to field a punt without calling for a fair catch could have cost him big time, as an oncoming tackler blew him up.

Jordyn Poulter sets the ball to Ali Bastianelli during the match against Arkansas on Aug. 26. The Illini won 3-0. This season, in the Cardinal Classic, Bastianelli had eight blocks against Kent State. The team’s record is now 6-0.
Illinois conquers Cardinal Classic tournament Team sets school record, personal career highs BY CHRISTIAN EVANS STAFF WRITER
The Illinois volleyball team continued its undefeated start to the season by sweeping the Cardinal Classic as they beat Kent State, Western Kentucky and Louisville all in straight sets to improve the record to 6-0. Against Kent State, it was Illinois’ defense that made the difference. Junior Ali Bastianelli had eight blocks and freshman Megan Cooney had four blocks, while Kent State only had three collectively. Illinois currently has 72 total blocks in six matches, compared to its opponents’ 15.
Bastianelli, who made the All-Tournament team, said that the key to the Illini’s defense was their ability to serve the ball. “We served so well this weekend and we got all the teams we played out of system, which made it really easy on the block,” Bastianelli said. “Especially with Western Kentucky, they run a fast offense and they were not able to do that because of our serving.” Against Western Kentucky, Illinois set a school record with a .652 hitting percentage for the match. Bastianelli led the team with a .917 hitting percentage, while sophomores Beth Prince and Jacqueline Quade contributed with 12 and 9 kills, respectively. Junior and tournament
MVP Jordyn Poulter set her teammates up well against Western Kentucky. The Illini had 42 assists compared to the Hilltoppers’ 34. Poulter also led the Illini to a .336 hitting percentage overall in the Cardinal Classic. Sophomore Beth Prince said that the team’s dedication has led to his efficiency. “We have been working really hard in practice and I think that is starting to translate into matches,” Prince said. “As we are getting more consistent passing, Jordyn can really spread out the ball, and that leads to success for us.” While Illinois beat Louisville in straight sets, the match was competitive up until the end. The Cardinals led the Illi-
ni 16-15 in the final set and the Illini retaliated, scoring 10 of the match’s final 14 points. It was once again a team effort for the Illini as Prince, Bastianelli, Quade and Blayke Hranicka all had 6 or more kills. Freshman Morgan O’Brien also had a career-high three aces against the Cardinals. Head coach Chris Tamas said he could not be more pleased with the team. “I think whenever you can start 6-0, your confidence is high,” Tamas said. “We talked after the match a little bit and I said whenever I give interviews like this, it is all about the team and it really is. They have been doing a really nice job.” clevan2@dailyillini.com
back Mike Epstein. Epstein picked up first downs on consecutive plays — one on the ground and one through the air — before eventually punching it across the goal line to give the Illini a 13-7 lead. “I’ll remember in high school my first (touchdown) — I feel like college will be the same way,” Epstein said. “It felt so good to get it off my belt. It felt good that the team trusted me to do my part." With the aid of a passinterference call and a 31-yard catch-and-run from Dudek, the Illini managed to get the ball to the Cardinals' 32-yard line, but they were unable to find the endzone and settled for a field goal, making the score 16-7 at the half. Just when it seemed like the Illini might start to put the game in cruise control, the Cardinal offense came out of halftime ready to play, and the Illini defense did not. The Cardinals rolled over the Illini defense twice in the third quarter, and Neal picked the coverage apart through the two scoring drives. Third downs were a huge struggle for the young Illini defense, who consistently set up third-and long situations, only to allow Ball State to convert 12 of 21. Ball State's third touchdown came on a third down conversion attempt. Head coach Lovie Smith noted that the Illini especially struggled when Neal tucked the ball and took off. “We had some favorable third down situations, third and long,” Smith said. “The quarterback scrambled for first downs, and we can't allow that to happen. Those are the things that we should

be able to tighten up.” Another area of concern was the Illini's inability to establish the run game. In a game where most expected Crouch and Kendrick Foster to run all over the Ball State defense, the Illini only managed 71 yards on the ground. The game took a turn for the memorable in the fourth quarter. Illinois seemed to be headed to a shock upset when a pass deflected off of Malik Turner’s helmet into the hands of a Cardinals defender. But when the Illini needed some magic to get back in the game, it was Dudek who stepped up to deliver. The receiver fielded a punt deep in his own territory, but danced his way through the punt coverage all the way into Ball State. territory. Then it was Malik Turner’s turn to step up, as he turned a short catch upfield to the goal line, and Epstein was there to punch it across and give the Illini the 24-21 lead. Jamal Milan blocked a last-second, 54-yard field goal attempt by the Cardinals and the Illini escaped week 1 with the win. "It says something about you when it's a tight game and you find a way to win. That's what’s important. We wanted to be 1-0, get one win, and we have that. And the way we got it, we're going to learn from it.” jvdiaz2@dailyillini.com

mentalist hip-hop album with a heavy focus on turntablism, “180g Beats” exhibits hip hop in the purest form. The chief role of a DJ in the 2000s in Korea might have been a subsidiary one that usually entailed scratching along with rap music. However, on “180g Beats,” DJ Soulscape’s presence is so imposing that the featured rappers take a backseat. The album is also the representation of how hip-hop music was like in the 2000s in Korea, in which rappers’ themes are mostly concerned with selfexamination — unlike current hip-hop that emphasizes swag and money. As primitive as the rappers sound juxtaposed with the DJ’s refined beats (as rap culture was just burgeoning in Korea), the album is time-transcending and will sound trendy in the future just as it has been in the past 17 years.
5. Kiha and the Faces
Artist: Kiha and the Faces (장기하와 얼굴들) Release Date: 2011 Since the influx of American music genres like hiphop and dance, the Korean music scene was gradually being disconnected with the precedent that musicians did not succumb to Americanization. From the late 2000s, K-pop rose to dominate the mainstream music landscape and shoehorned English words without any musical meaning in their lyrics for the sake of coolness. Even in the underground music, bands were taking on American mannerisms. The glory of Korean music in the 1970s and 1980s was becoming very faint, until Kiha and the Faces’ second and self-titled album. Adequately nicknamed “Korean music’s old future,” the band reminded listeners with its purely Korean lyrics that the Korean language is beautiful, as much as English sounds cool. The melo-

how much randomness and spontaneity really make up the direction of life and love. But this article started out talking about hitting rock bottom and not wanting to be alone in it. And that is top of the list of things "BoJack Horseman" does best, to quote BoJack himself: So when is season four? Where is our cathartic outlet of existential crises and shared misery? School has barely started and I’ve already skipped one of my morning classes. I need a half-horse somebody to show me things could be much worse before I start searching on eBay for an “Escape from Chambana” boat. Over the summer we were finally told that the latest season is set to release Sept. 8, and the trailer for it has just been released. While the trailer seems to pose even more questions, this intrigue can keep us preoccupied during these final weeks leading up to Sept. 8. Theories to ponder about: How did BoJack’s daughter meet Todd? What’s happening between Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter, or should we soon be saying, Gov. Peanutbutter? And the most pressing, where is BoJack Horseman himself? Last we left him, it looked like he was about to end his life when a reckless drive across the highway ended with the bittersweet scene of horses running free. He wasn’t featured much in the trailer, which was narrated by Diane via voicemail (her and BoJack’s typical style of communication when things get rough and one of them is AWOL). "BoJack Horseman" is also known for its knack of pairing just the right song with whatever monumen-
tal rock-bottom-hitting is happening on screen; the show has a great talent for knowing just how to kick you in the tear-ducts. With recent news that Patrick Carney of The Black Keys and Michelle Branch will be covering America’s “A Horse With No Name” for the upcoming season, we can expect the same kind of tear-jerking quality from the show’s production team. There are already a few fan theories online about how the characters are going to interact and get to the moments shown in the trailer, but while the collective power of Reddit users actually does lead to real truths about shows, I’d rather not spoil it for myself (or you, dear readers). Personally, I could watch an entire season of just Todd going from place to place, letting random adventure dictate the paths he takes. Ironically, he’s one of the few human characters on the show, yet the least in control of his life, and most influenced by wild instinct and reaction alone. I’ve got a comfy set of pillows on the couch, snacks and my weekend blocked out for a full binge session once the release date arrives. Let September begin. whahn2@readbuzz.com

Why it’s time Jake Gyllenhaal should win his Oscar that the Academy has been snubbing him for years. The story of Boston bombI had a personal goal to ing survivor Jeff Bauman is watch every movie Jake Gylone that captured the hearts lenhaal has ever been in this of people everywhere. His summer. Although I wasn’t biography “Stronger,” which able to cross every film off recounts the bombing, the the list, I viewed more than FBI investigation, his rehahalf of the movies on Gylbilitation and how he found lenhaal’s filmography, and strength within himself has it’s mind-boggling to me since been turned into a that he hasn’t received a biopic set to be released on single Oscar. So while we all Sept. 22. Jake Gyllenhaal wait patiently and hope that takes on the role of Bauman the 2018 Academy Awards and after just one glance is finally the day Gyllenat the trailer, all the buzz haal goes home with a little around this role makes a lot golden statue, here are five of sense. other Gyllenhaal films that Gyllenhaal should be should’ve been nominated nominated for an Oscar for for an Oscar. “Stronger,” considering it is a story that goes from trau5. “Brokeback Mountain” ma to triumph. We’ll have to While not my favorite wait until the film is released Gyllenhaal movie I’ve seen, to come to a conclusion, and this is the only film he’s ever the Oscars are still months received an Oscar nominaaway. However, it’s no secret tion for. The Ang Lee film BY KAYLA BROWN BUZZ WRITER
won three of the eight categories it was nominated for, but Gyllenhaal’s Best Supporting Actor nomination was beat out by George Clooney’s performance in “Syriana.” This was a careerdefining role for Gyllenhaal as he tackled issues mainstream media hadn’t yet, such as homosexuality within hyper-masculine environments.
Gyllenhaal gives such a raw and vulnerable performance as both a heartbroken exhusband (Sheffield) and a dad who loses his family in a horrific event (Hastings) that it’s an absolute tragedy this film didn’t receive more attention. If there’s any one performance that made me believe that Gyllenhaal is the best actor of our generation, it’s this one.
of the most convincing portrayals of a police officer I’ve ever seen. Despite looking like a run-of-the-mill cop movie, it went deeper and focused on the relationship between partners and how they would do anything for each other. Both Gyllenhaal and his co-star Michael Peña were beyond excellent in this film.
4. “Nocturnal Animals”
3. “End of Watch”
I might be biased because this is one of my favorite movies ever, but “Prisoners” deserved to be nominated for several awards, but instead was only nominated for one: Best Cinematography. Gyllenhaal and leading actor Hugh Jackman should have received nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor, respectively, and the film should have been a Best Picture nomi-
Not only did Gyllenhaal deserve a Best Actor nomination for playing both Edward Sheffield and Tony Hastings in Tom Ford’s “Nocturnal Animals,” but Amy Adams definitely deserved a Best Actress nomination for playing Susan Morrow. While we’re at it, the movie probably should have been nominated for Best Picture as well.
When I began bingewatching movies off of Gyllenhaal’s filmography, this is one I had never heard of and now it’s the one I’ve rewatched the most. Gyllenhaal himself has said this movie changed his life after training with the LAPD for months and participating in several ride-alongs. The hard work paid off, as his role in the indie film is one
2. “Prisoners”
nee on top of that. Still, Gyllenhaal gives a performance that proves he’s at his best when playing roles in darker movies.
1. “Nightcrawler”
This is the Oscar snub of the century. Gyllenhaal as Louis Bloom should have been a shoo-in for not only a Best Actor nomination, but an actual win. After losing nearly 30 pounds for the role, starving himself and not sleeping much for the sake of the character, Gyllenhaal’s performance is intense, unnerving and extremely impressive as his time was divided between acting and producing the film. This is the one I can never forgive the Academy for. Jake, you deserved better. kaylarb2@readbuzz.com
