Canopy Club welcomes Acoustic Open Mic Night Local performers are encouraged to come out, share their talent on the stage each Tuesday

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

The Canopy Club is opening up the stage to any University student or local artist interested in performing live acoustic music beginning this Tuesday.

Acoustic Open Mic night is a weekly event hosted by The Canopy Club that will begin at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesdays following the Campus Comedy Showcase, which take place at 9 p.m. The event will be hosted by Champaign resident Justin Rondon and welcomes anyone 18 years and older to come and show off their new original songs or best covers, according to The Canopy Club’s website. Singers and songwriters can sign up for a 10-15 minute time slot at the door to play their music on the stage.

Rondon, first-time host for the event, said he hopes to make Acoustic Open Mic nights a good experience for everyone who attends.

“I hope to make it about fun,” Rondon said. “It’s just going to be relaxed and an easy environment.

I’m not sure what to expect, but I don’t anticipate it being too crazy.”

Rondon explained that he is no stranger to open mic nights, and is not only looking forward to hosting the event, but also performing as well.

“I’ve done a lot of open mic nights. They have a special place in my heart,” Rondon said. “I wanted to host so that I could also get to play at Canopy once a week. I’m going to host until there’s nobody left to play, and since there usually aren’t that many people, sometimes the host plays at the beginning or at the end. Regardless I’ll play every time.”

James Moore, recent graduate from the University and host for previous Open Mic nights at The Canopy Club, said he thinks Rondon will be a great fit for the venue’s event.

“I think Justin is going to be an awesome host,” Moore said. “He’s the best acoustic performer I know in Champaign-Urbana.

He’s got a really unique sound, a lot of talent and a great personality, so I think he’s going to kill it.”

Although both Rondon and Moore said they have enjoyed general Open Mic nights at The Canopy Club before, they agreed that the number of attendees each week varies drastically.

“The times I’ve gone in the past there weren’t that many people,” Rondon said. “I’ve heard that sometimes there’s a lot, and sometimes there is literally no one there. It is kind of

a toss up, so I would like to see the audience grow.”

Moore confirmed that the attendance of the event differed each week when he hosted the Open Mic nights.

“The crowd numbers were kind of unpredictable,” Moore said. “I think during my time there the crowd size ranged anywhere from 10-120 people. I think when there were big crowds it was because people showed up just to watch their friends then stuck around because they liked the scene.”

Moore also mentioned that the event has slowed down in general since he began hosting it.

“The event lost a lot of steam since it started,” Moore said. “I’m not entirely sure why because there were a lot of changes made during my time as host, but overall I really enjoyed it and thought it was a great experience.”

Jamie Wellman, the assistant to the operations director at The Canopy Club, said although University students will be gone, summer is a great time for Acoustic Open Mic nights to begin.

“The summer gives us an opportunity to do different things,” Wellman said. “There aren’t as many tours, so it is kind of a way to give local singers and songwriters available stage time.”

Wellman explained that Tuesday will be The Canopy Club’s first time hosting an Open Mic night dedicated to only acoustic music.

“In past Open Mic nights we’ve had some R&B, heavy rock artists and some acoustic,” Wellman said. “We wanted to break it down, and give the opportunity to enjoy the night and keep it toned down a little bit without crazy metal music. This way we’re not having to involve different genres at once.”

Although the crowd size for the Acoustic Open Mic night is uncertain, Wellman said the event is a great place for people to come and hang out every week.

“It’s more of the sit down, hang out and have a couple of drinks kind of crowd,” Wellman said.

“It’s not the typical KAM’S loud, sweaty and intense crowd, but a little bit on the lighter side with quality artists and local musicians to showcase what they have.”

As Rondon said he is looking forward to hosting the event, he also encourages local performers to come out and enjoy Acoustic Open Mic nights.

“If you are a performing artist it’s good to express your creativity in public,” Rondon said.

“It strengthens your confidence in yourself and enables communication across artists. Also, it’s just fun.”

Virginia Theater guided tours showcase building’s history and renovations

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

At a time when theaters ushered in large, eager crowds who came to watch live performances and movies frequently, a brand new theater opened its doors for the first time on Dec. 28, 1921. It was named the Virginia Theater, and it still stands today at 203 W. Park Ave. in Champaign.

Nearly 94 years after its original opening, the Virginia Theater has gone through renovations and passed between owners over the decades. Now the theater, which has been owned by the Champaign Park District since 2000, is hosting weekly guided tours of the building every Wednesday to educate visitors about its history.

Steven Bentz, director of the Virginia Theater, leads the tours.

He takes visitors through the lower-level and upperlevel lobby areas, to the auditorium, the projection room, backstage and to the dressing rooms.

All the while, Bentz tells visitors about the theater’s history and explains the renovation project that was undertaken in 2000 with the goal of restoring the theater to its former glory after years of neglect.

The first performance held at the theater was called “The Bat,” which was a live show. The next night, the theater screened a movie, titled “The Boat.”

The News-Gazette had a “Special Virginia Theater Supplement” included in its Dec. 28, 1921 edition. It described the opening of the theater and called it “a Marvel of Design and Construction.” It also described the opening show of “The Bat,” as the “greatest play in generation.”

“From then on, it was mixed programming,” Bentz said.

“We would open at 11 or 12 o’clock, there would be a live performance on stage, followed by a movie, followed by a little concert, followed by another live performance, followed by another choral event, followed by a movie — it would go for 12 hours. And that’s just because there was no television. People would go for entertainment at any point during the day. It was a really active space.”

Bentz said he believes the reason why the theater is still running is because of the flexibility with which it can run both movies and live performances.

Charlie Pyle came up with the idea for the theater and had plans drawn up for the building. He reached out to a man named A.W. Stoolman, a property developer in Champaign-Urbana. Stoolman agreed to help with the building under one condition: it be named after his daughter, Virginia.

It took 10 months to complete construction on the theater. The exterior of the building is Italian design, while the interior style is Spanish Renaissance revival. There is a coat of arms medallion in the upstairs lobby that references 10th century Spain, as well as crests repeated throughout the auditorium that also reflect Spanish influence.

The carpet that runs throughout the lobby was imported from Dublin during renovations.

“It’s our attempt to try and get as close as we could to the original design,” Bentz said. “We just had some records of it and were trying to provide a facsimile of it. It’s not an exact copy — it’s as close as we could get to the original.”

Stoolman owned the building from opening until 1969, leasing it to RKO Pictures, a big movie company in the ‘20s and ‘30s, from 1929 to 1968. GKC then took ownership from 1970 to the 1990s, before the Champaign Park District bought the theater.

“When we came in 2000, the place had been open continuously since 1921, but there’d really been no work ... on it for 20 years,” Bentz said. “And there were huge issues: the air conditioning had to be redone, the pipes were all bad, the electrical was all bad, the basement would flood to about knee-height whenever it rained, some of the emergency exits were nailed shut.”

When the Champaign Park District took ownership, the theater lacked the original character it once had. Bentz said the auditorium had a “brown ceiling and mustardyellow walls.”

“Everything we did in here was bringing it back to 1921 colors,” Bentz said.

He said that before renovations the lobby also had lost some of its former glory and ornate design, featuring white walls and ceilings, red carpet, and damaged plasterwork adorning the walls. Renovation projects recreated the plasterwork and added some of the original colors to the design of the theater.

“What the Park District is trying to do since we purchased (the Virginia Theater) in 2000 is just get it back to where it was in 1921, with modern amenities,” Bentz said. “But restore it to its former glory.”

Sustainable Student Farm hosts weekly farmer’s market Anniversary Plaza host market with fresh produce every Thursday from May to Nov.

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Students who are looking for fresh, local produce on campus can visit the Sustainable Student Farm Market on Anniversary Plaza, located behind the Illini Union, every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from May to Nov. The Sustainable Student Farm grows and harvests produce to provide to dining halls as well as to sell at the weekly market.

“Our initial and primary goal is to grow as much seasonal produce for the dining units as possible,” said Zack Grant, manager and director of Sustainable Student Farm, in an email.

He said they sell about 15 percent of their produce at the farm stand, and the rest goes to the dining halls. “(The stand) is also our chance to direct market and communicate our food culture to the university and general community,” he said.

The Student Sustainability Committee funds the Sustainable Student Farm. The committee works to make the campus more sustainable and initiates environmentally-friendly projects, such as making campus more bike-friendly as well as starting an initiative to make MTD buses more energy efficient.

The farm is another initiative with the goal of making the University more sustainable by providing fresh, local produce to the community.

“Once or more in peak season, we’re gonna have another stand which will be either at the corner of Windsor and Lincoln or Race and Windsor, where our main building is,” said Mackenzie Ehr, a University student who works at the student farm and sells produce at the market.

She said this second stand is a way to reach out to people who don’t have access to the Quad or are driving on their way home from work.

Now at the start of its sixth growing season, the Sustainable Student Farm lies across eight to nine acres of land, Grant said, but there is only production on about half of that space. The rest is in fallow rotation with cover crops.

“We’re completely organic, even though we’re not organic certified,” said Erin Campbell, a University student who also works at the student farm and at the market.

Grant said the farm is “now involved in organic research projects, outreach to growers, on farm training and multidisciplinary cross-departmental collaborations.”

Ehr said the farm is also working to receive Good Agricultural Practices certification, which is a cleanliness certificate from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in recognition of sanitary food, work stations, workers and sanitary production after harvest.

“We are expanding nearly every year by some amount,” Grant said. “This year we are going to be planting and attempting to harvest more tomatoes than ever before.”

He said the farm is starting a new project with the University department of food sciences’ pilot plant to modernize their production facility to process tomatoes from the farm into tomato products like sauce for the dining units.

“Overall, this year is shaping up just like last year,” he said. “Wet early on, but pretty productive.”

Customers can be guaranteed the food they purchase from the market is fresh.

“We harvest everything the day of the sale,” Campbell said.

The money from the sale goes toward producing more food in the Sustainable Student Farm through the purchase of more seeds and utilities.

“It all goes back into the farm,” Campbell said.

Summer Camp Music Festival cools down with finale Festival wraps up with musical artists Adamosity, Krucial, Kyral x Banko

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

“Thank you all for coming out tonight,” Ben Kohler, also known as DJ and rapper “Banko” for big room hip hop duo Kyral x Banko, said to his audience. “Let’s go!”

The Canopy Club hosted the Summer Camp Music Festival Cool Down concert Saturday night as a way to officially end the Summer Camp Music Festival which took place in Chillicothe, Illinois, from Thursday, May 22, to Sunday, May 25. The Cool Down event started at 10 p.m. and featured musical artists Adamosity, Krucial and Kyral x Banko.

Kohler and Collin Burdick, also known as “Kyral” and DJ for Kyral x Banko, are both University graduates. They said they were happy to be back performing on campus.

“It’s always good to be back at Canopy Club,” Kohler said before the show. “The owners and management said, ‘We feel like we’ve nurtured you guys,’ which basically is true, since our biggest shows started at Canopy.”

Burdick agreed that being back at The Canopy Club felt like home.

“It’s like our home turf,” Burdick said.

“It’s more of a family vibe over there.”

Kohler and Burdick performed at the Summer Camp Music Festival this year and they

described the opportunity as life changing.

“It was the craziest thing ever,” Kohler said. “We played after UZ, who is one of my biggest inspirations as far as hip hop and trap music goes. But it was wild.”

Kohler mentioned that there were about 1,000 to 1,500 people at the event, making it their biggest show yet.

“We definitely didn’t expect it to be that packed,” Burdick said. “A big show here at Canopy is like 500 people, so this was double or triple the amount of people.”

Although the duo is back in Champaign, before the show, they said the atmosphere of the Cool Down show would be very different from the Summer Camp Music Festival — more like a bar show.

“Not like a festival,” Burdick said. “It will be a lot of our friends there, and a lot less pressure too.” Burdick said.

The concert took place in the front room of The Canopy Club on the small stage with Adamosity starting the show off at 10 p.m. The audience was small, with only a small amount of people sitting at the bar and tables. Although small, the audience bobbed their heads to the electronic music filled with drops. Adamosity also incorporated rap music into his beats, such as JayZ’s “Dirt Off Your Shoulder.”

The red lights shining from the back of

the stage glared down on the DJ as he continued to play his set until he ended at 11:10.

“Enjoy,” Adamosity said to the audience as he finished his show. Looking to the next performing artist, Krucial, he said, “It’s all you, bud.”

Krucial, continuing the flow of electronic music mixed with rap, moved to the beat of his own music through his set.

“He’s a great DJ,” Kohler said. “He never misses a beat.”

The artist switched between slower R&B and hip hop songs to more upbeat songs, such as Justin Timberlake’s “Senorita.”

The audience remained small as Krucial performed.

“I don’t care how many people are here,” Kohler said. “If there are only four people, I want to make sure that those four people are having a good time. That’s all that matters.”

As Krucial’s set started to come to an end, Kyral x Banko started setting up to perform on the stage. Kohler and Burdick said their set would be different from the other two artists who played at the Cool Down show.

“This kid raps,” Burdick said looking at Kohler. “That’s the biggest difference. We try to keep tunes fresh and play stuff people haven’t heard.”

“We try to step out of the box,” Kohler said. “In EDM there’s so much cliche, and

we always just try to bring a breath of fresh air.”

Kyral x Banko’s set began at 12:30 a.m. and had a deep, loud bass to their music. Kohler and Burdick danced and jumped to the beat of their set and interacted with the audience.

“Put your hands up,” Kohler said, pumping up the audience. “I want to see everyone’s hands up. Let’s go!”

More people started to fill the front room, and attendees filled the front of the stage.

People began to dance and jump to Kyral x Banko’s music. Kohler started giving shout outs to his friends in the audience.

After a few minutes of straight music, Kohler prepared the audience for what was coming next.

“I’m Banko, and I like rapping,” Kohler said.

Kohler began to rap and freestyle, to which the audience reacted by bobbing their heads and dancing.

As the Cool Down show came to an end, the audience slowly started to filter out of The Canopy Club.

“They throw a nasty set,” one audience member said to his friend on their way out of the club. “That was a good time.”

State bill to ensure out-of-state students are treated equally in student elections

T

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bill awaiting Gov. Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature that stands to have a wide-ranging effect on student governance at the University.

Following residency disputes during graduate student Carey Ashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign for student trustee in spring 2013, this bill would prohibit the University from using tuition-based residency in deciding whether a student can serve as student trustee.

A bill such as this is essential in preserving the right of all Illinois residents attending the University to serve as student trustee, something that has not been guaranteed in the past.

Ash, originally from Louisiana, has lived in Urbana for six years, serves on the Urbana Plan Commission and votes in a local district.

Despite this, the University eliminated Ash from the spring 2013 ballot for student trustee due to his out-of-state tuition status.

The Daily Illini Editorial Board endorsed him in March 2013, seeing him as the most qualified candidate for trustee in the election. Although Ash was forced to run as a write-in candidate, he still garnered overwhelming support from the campus, earning the fourth-largest amount of votes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ahead of two candidates who were listed on the ballot.

House Bill 4284, which passed overwhelmingly in both houses, was sponsored

by State Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, D-Urbana. Ash spoke with Jakobsson and gained her support for his cause â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bringing her to introduce the bill in Jan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame that such a qualified candidate was not given the chance to be on the ballot, especially considering heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuing a doctorate in educational policy and just received his degree in law.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine a more qualified candidate for student trustee.

Although the University missed out in the past, this bill would now serve to prevent elimination of qualified candidates for student trustee even if they do not pay in-state tuition.

Regardless of tuition rate, University students who make their home in Illinois have the right to represent their peers to the Board of Trustees.

Because he plans to leave the University after next fall, Ash will not have the chance to run for trustee again, but he told the NewsGazette in May that the issue was never about him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was simply the one it happened to, as a representative of a class of students who deserve to be treated equally,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The University missed out on a fantastic representative of the student body, but at least all University of Illinois students permanently living in Illinois will now have the chance to run for student trustee unfettered.

TV show soundtracks can broaden musical horizons EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist

I,

along with many other college students, have a serious addiction. It keeps me busy on the weekends, allows me to avoid all of my obligations, and fills me with simultaneous tears and laughter. I can stop any time I want. I promise. All I have to do is press pause.

The culprit is Netflix.

Netflix provides instant streaming of countless TV shows and movies right on my laptop. I was taken hostage for hours at a time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by my computer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; oops.

This year, peppered in among other shows, were my three guilty pleasures: The OC, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill.

Combined, they make up 19 seasons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; providing for a mind-numbing amount of cat fights, fist fights, make-ups, break-ups, and everything in between â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seriously, everything.

But the countless hours of watching menial television series wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for naught.

I actually was able to benefit from dramafilled television in more ways than one.

First of all, I actually liked the shows.

So sue me. But what really happened: I was exposed to some mind-boggling soundtracks that would make anyone swoon.

These shows use music as an integral part of the series. This is unlike shows today such as Girls and Pretty Little Liars, which seem to use music as a way to wrap things up near the closing credits, and these shows also have similar audiences to the three said TV shows.

All five of the aforementioned TV shows mostly target people who are invested in a very mainstream culture. And in my experience, more often than not, a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical taste and taste in television can be highly reflective and closely related. So people who really like the show Nashville will probably like country music. People who really like teenage-related shows will probably like teenage-targeted music, like Ke$ha, The Fray or Pitbull.

But my three Netflix loves do exactly the opposite. They take a very mainstream show and pair it with soundtracks that juxtapose the content of the plots, as far as whom they would be normally targeted towards and enjoyed by.

People who normally watch One Tree Hill or Gossip Girl would probably be more inclined to listen to Justin Timberlake or Katy Perry, I would guess, as that TV genre and musical genre are typically appreciated by the same age group and people, which is often teenage girls. But instead of pairing that music with those shows, songs from bands like Death Cab for Cutie or Among Savages are used instead, which are on the other side of the musical taste spectrum.

Filled with alternative, underground, indie tunes, these shows and music supervisors bridged a wide gap between the mainstream cadence of the plotlines and the music that serves as their back-drop.

The taste and palate that was used in discerning these soundtracks seems to have been completely opposite that which dictated the respective plotlines. Still, the teenage melodrama and indie music make a great pairing.

This is because alternative music can be more creative, more expressive and more original, which adds an unexpected and unique flavor to the sometimes cliche and overwhelming plot lines, which we often see through the constant overdramatized lives of rich kids in The OC and Gossip Girl.

This musical bonus and component has been lost on the last few years of television for this young TV-viewing age group.

The presence of alternative music in TV shows didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to be lacking. It was very rich. It exposed listeners and viewers to genres and sounds that can be difficult to be exposed to otherwise, especially if you stick to country or pop stations on the radio.

Like I said, I saw all of these shows on Netflix. One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl waved their white flags in 2012, The OC in 2007. Yet, in the past two years, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been introduced to another TV show with a similar target audience that could boast a similar soundtrack.

Yes, shows like How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs and Breaking Bad all have amazing soundtracks, but they have wider audiences and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always draw the same types of viewers as that of One Tree Hill.

So we are still left with a bridge between these viewers and the alternative music world.

A major question for me can be how I can find music. I want to dig deeper than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played on the radio, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to start. These shows solved that for me. I was filled in on almost a decade of music that I had never discovered before.

Now, as two years have passed and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m lost on finding something similar to this TV/music combination Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been exposed to, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m left wondering what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m missing out on and how I can make up for this lost time.

Netflix wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always be able to carry the weight of the halt in the alternative music exposure wave. It offers viewers a great musical and drama experience with One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl (The OC is available on DVD).

It is painful that this rich and vibrant piece of watching television has been lacking lately, but hopefully, soon, cable networks will learn to step it up. Music and drama lovers alike are waiting.

Rowing team nabs 2nd national championship

BY CHARLOTTE CARROLL STAFF WRITER

One is bloodstained. One holds a ribbon recognizing the recent shooting at UC Santa Barbara.

One came straight off a rowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back. One has never been worn.

Yet all of these elements can be found in a collection of 10 shirts that the University of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; club rowing womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novice 4-plus team won May 24 and 25 at the American Collegiate Rowing Association National Championships in Gainesville, Ga. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second national championship for the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novice 4-plus team, as they won in 2012, and four of those previous team members were on hand to watch history repeat itself.

The Illinois rowing club, joined by 65 other top university club varsity rowing programs from throughout the country, brought its season to a close with the ACRA National Championships. Although five total boats were on hand to compete, it was only the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novice 4-plus team that won those prized shirts by taking first.

The giving of the losing teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shirts to the winners is a tradition mainly reflected in season ending races. Ten of its 13 opponents gave the national champion Illinois team their shirts.

And these shirts can carry with them the pain and pride of a season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to imagine if I knew somebody else was to have my tank that I

wore throughout the entire season,â&#x20AC;? junior Katie Ruhl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through all the bad practices and all the effort. I almost feel bad taking it away from them because even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to start the new year with a new tank, everything you put into the old tank just got given away.â&#x20AC;?

The team, finalized only a week before the race, consisted of freshman Dana Brecklin, freshman Diana Montgomery, junior Elizabeth Dunne, Ruhl and freshman coxswain Adele Rehkemper. A coxswainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to steer the boat while motivating the rowers to the point where all their attention is focused on their stroke technique.

With only Rehkemper having some prior experience, the team understands the impact of practice.

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novice 4-plus started off in an 8-plus boat, but was reduced to a 4-plus boat as the year carried on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our first race back in October, probably everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong,â&#x20AC;?

Brecklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously this last race wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flawless, but it was really amazing to know we came from shambles into a unit pushing hard and pushing through other boats.â&#x20AC;?

Typically a team with slow beginnings, the final race this weekend was the first time this season that team pushed out strong from the very start. In the qualifying heat before the final, Illinois was dead last for the first 300m before fight-

ing back to finish second and move on.

In the final, Illinois trailed Midwest region champions Grand Valley until the 1200m mark of the 2000m race. The crew fought to get even around the 1500m mark when a decisive call by coxswain Rehkemper helped the team take the lead.

That call was a Spicy 10. A Spicy 10 is when a team completes a Power 10, followed by another quite Power 10. A Power 10 is 10 hard strokes done with as much effort as the team can muster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rowing is unfortunately a horrible spectator sport,â&#x20AC;? assistant coach Bill Grier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And from a coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standpoint we can tell them

what to do on shore, but as soon as we put them in the water, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all up to them. We have no influence on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening, even on this course. It (the Spicy 10) was one of those moves that broke the backs of crews trying to hang with them at that point. It pushed them out of the peripheral vision of the crews behind them and when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see whoever is in front of you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really demoralizing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what put the race away for them.â&#x20AC;?

The race was theirs, fueled by drive and pure focus. A testament to the shirts earned through the work of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the race, I looked down at my hands and they were bleeding all over the place and

there was blood all over the oars: a regular occurrence in my life,â&#x20AC;?

Brecklin said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m conscious of the fact that my hands are hurting during a race. Just looking at my hands and the video after, I was seeing things during the race, but not really processing it. Adele kept us all focused. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually remember everything from races, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never had the feeling of being oblivious to feeling during a race. And not oblivious in a bad way, but a good way. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never been so engaged in every single part of the race.â&#x20AC;?

Cosby prepares for upcoming Illini season with tour in China ALEX ROUX Sports columnist

F

rom the Big East to the Far East, Aaron Cosby knows how to score the basketball.

The 6-foot-3 combo guard averaged 12.6 points per game on 42.6 percent shooting as a sophomore at Seton Hall before transferring to Illinois following the 2012-13 season. He then went more than a year without playing in an

organized game after sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules.

So when Sports Reach, a Kentuckybased Christian Organization, offered him the chance to play a nine-game tour in China against foreign professional teams, Cosby accepted.

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget how to score during his year off.

Cosby averaged 18.1 points over the course of nine games against assorted professional teams from Lithuania and China. The games were played against international teams largely made up of older, more experienced players. Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, Reach USA, consisted of American

college players and was thrown together quickly, leaving them little time to practice. With few plays to run and little time to get acclimated as a team, Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach gave him the green light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach gave me the freedom,â&#x20AC;? Cosby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (opponents) were trying to score at a high pace, and we were just trying to keep up with them.â&#x20AC;?

The run-and-gun style of basketball led to high point totals, as well as a high number of shots taken by Cosby over the course of the tour. He hoisted 72 threepointers, connecting on 34.7 percent of them. Overall, Cosby attempted an eyepopping average of 17.2 shots per game

at a 34.8 percent clip. Following the trip, he admitted that his shooting percentage wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite where he wanted it to be due to his extended time away from organized basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot my normal percentage because I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in shape,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The tour helped Cosby ease his way back into game shape without the pressure that comes with a normal college basketball game. Of course the Reach USA team was playing to win, but the trip was more about getting the college players valuable game experience

COSBY against tough competition before their seasons begin in the fall. Reach USA finished with four wins and five losses.

It was Cosby’s first time in China, and the difference in culture wasn’t the only thing he and his teammates had to acclimate to during the trip. The international-style basketball used in the games was slightly larger than a regulation NCAA ball. The referees also allowed more contact around the rim than Cosby was used to. That’s saying something, considering he played two seasons in the physical Big East conference.

Most importantly, the three-point line in international play is 15 inches farther from the rim than the NCAA line. The games were also played with a 24-second shot clock, which is 11 seconds shorter than the NCAA clock. These factors, not to mention jet lag, put Cosby and his teammates at a disadvantage the minute they stepped on Chinese soil.

But Cosby was pleased with his performance and the overall experience, on and off the court. A photo posted to the Illinois Basketball Twitter page showed him posing at the Great Wall of China. The Sports Reach organization also volunteers, helping out in local communities where they play. Cosby enjoyed those extra experiences, but his main objective was to use the trip to help him become a more complete player when the Illini open the season in November.

Cosby considers himself a good three-point shooter, but he’s focused on becoming a more dynamic player offensively. He’s been working on shooting off the dribble and being able to effectively finish in the lane and at the rim.

“I’m just working on being able to score in different ways offensively,” Cosby said.

He also worked at improving his defense during his year off and on his trip to China. John Groce’s teams have taken on a defensive mentality in his tenure at Illinois, as evidenced by a streak of holding four straight Big Ten opponents under 50 points last season.

In order to fit in seamlessly with the rotation, Cosby is making his defense a priority.

But ultimately it’s Cosby’s shooting that fills a major need for the Illini next season. Without a consistent threat from long range last year, opposing teams clogged the lane, making it difficult for the Illini to attack the basket. The result?

Illinois was ranked No. 311 out of 351 Division I teams in scoring last season.

A viable three-point shooter like Cosby has the potential to spread the floor, making it easier for his teammates to attack the basket. When asked about his potential impact on the floor next season, Cosby has an offensive vision for himself and the 2014-15 Illini.

“I’ll be a threat to make shots from all over the floor,” he said. “That will kind of open things up for everybody.”

Erik Forgione (9) looks out at the new Husky Ballpark in Seattle on March 21. Forgione was named the Pac-12 defensive player of the year Wednesday.

Erik Forgione inspires on and off the field Forgione named Pac-12 defensive player of the year

BY ADAM JUDE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

The car flipped five or six times and landed upside down on Interstate 5.

Good Samaritans approached the crash fearing what they would find.

“I think they were expecting a lot worse,” Erik Forgione said.

Forgione considers himself blessed — blessed to be the starting shortstop for the 14th-ranked Washington baseball team; blessed the Huskies are bound for the postseason for the first time in 10 years; blessed he is about to be drafted by a Major League Baseball club for the second time in three years.

Blessed, too, to be alive.

A 19-year-old driver was so drunk that he later didn’t even recall getting behind the wheel, going up an onramp the wrong way and crashing head-on into Forgione’s car in Tacoma, Wash.

This was the fall of 2011, shortly after Forgione had finished his first fall practices with the Huskies. Forgione was driving back to Seattle with a friend when he saw the headlights coming at him. He swerved to the left, but the drunken driver struck the back side of Forgione’s car.

“We walked away unharmed, just bumps and bruises,” Forgione said. “It was incredible.”

The drunken driver fled the scene on foot.

He was soon caught and sentenced to 90 days in jail.

Besides the bumps and bruises, Forgione had a sore back that he rehabbed for a week or two. The emotional scars took longer to heal.

“I think that took its toll on him. Like all young kids, he thought he was invincible and in just an instant was brought back to reality,” UW coach Lindsay Meggs said. “I think

it grounded him a little more and made him appreciate being closer to home, to his family. I think when he got over that, it gave him some peace and some serenity.”

Forgione, a junior, was named the Pac12 defensive player of the year Wednesday.

Three days earlier, before the Huskies’ regular-season finale in what was likely Forgione’s last game at Husky Ballpark, Meggs told his players they were playing with the best shortstop in the country.

“This is the guy that holds it all together,” said Meggs, the Pac-12 coach of the year.

“If he doesn’t get another hit the rest of the year, I don’t care.”

Huskies right fielder Brian Wolfe called Forgione the Richard Sherman of shortstops.

“I wish I could be mic’d up for games,” Wolfe said, “because he’ll make a play, run in the hole and throw it across and in my mind I’m like, ‘Stop. No. Don’t throw that. ...

Oh, well, you made that look easy. I should shut my mouth.’”

“He’s a great baseball player,” Wolfe added. “He’s a better person off the field.”

Forgione, with his Wilson A2K 1787 glove (retail: $339.95), had just eight errors in 285 chances for the Huskies. He led the Pac-12 with 193 assists and was second in turning 42 double plays. His double-play partner, Andrew Ely, also was named to the all-Pac-12 defensive team.

Washington’s defense led the Pac-12 with a .981 fielding percentage. It had the league’s fewest errors (42) despite having the secondmost chances (2,192).

Forgione was a 33rd-round draft choice of the Angels out of high school. Meggs doesn’t expect his shortstop, who will surely be selected again during the MLB draft this week, to be back for his senior season.

Forgione’s offensive numbers, on the sur-

face, aren’t impressive. As UW’s No. 9 hitter, he finished the regular season with a .231 average. But he is second on the team with 12 sacrifice bunts (as a team, UW is second in the nation with 81) and is a threat to steal.

“He’s asked to do so many little things,” Wolfe said.

Baseball runs deep in the Forgione family.

Erik’s father, Andy, was a shortstop at Saint Xavier University in Chicago.

Don Forgione, Erik’s grandfather, signed with the Chicago White Sox after graduating from a Chicago-area high school in 1965. A burly first baseman, he said he played one season in the minors before volunteering to serve in the Vietnam War. Before his one-year term in Vietnam was up, he volunteered for another three-month stay. Not long after that he was shot in the leg.

He was later awarded two Purple Hearts and two Bronze Stars, but his baseball career was over.

“It’s tough coming back from that,” he said.

“It’s tough to get your mind back together.”

This, now, is the easy part. Grandpa Forgione lives in Arizona and enjoys nothing more than watching his grandson’s games.

He has regularly attended UW’s games in Arizona the past few years. Last month was his first trip to Seattle to see Erik play, knowing it could be his grandson’s final home games for the Huskies.

“I’ve watched them for three years, and this is great. This is what they’ve been working for,” Don Forgione said.

He is planning to follow his grandson to Mississippi for the NCAA regional this weekend, hoping to tag along for as long as this breakthrough season extends.

“I’m just so proud,” Don Forgione said.

“He, too, believes he’s blessed.

Antoine Turner struggles to tackle poverty

New member of Boise State’s football team fights against long-time poverty LOS ANGELES TIMES

FULLERTON, Calif. — Antoine Turner will graduate from Fullerton College next week and then join Boise State’s football team as a promising defensive tackle on a full-ride athletic scholarship.

This should be the ride of his life.

Instead, Sunday night, Turner slept in his girlfriend’s car.

Turner crashed there because he is homeless ... again.

He upgrades to cheap motels only on nights his girlfriend, R’Mya DeMarrco, earns enough tip money at her job as a waitress.

These are actually good times compared with the nights Turner spent alone, with suicidal thoughts, sleeping on a steel-grated picnic table at Anaheim’s La Palma Park.

“That’s when I was like, ‘I’m never going to ever get out of this,’ “ Turner said Wednesday during an interview in the football offices at Fullerton College.

Fullerton’s coaches helped Turner develop into a Division 1-A player worthy of Boise State’s attention. Turner had 34 tackles last fall for the Hornets with six sacks, 13 tackles for loss and one interception.

Overcoming poverty was another matter.

Turner grew up poor in New Orleans, and nothing changed in California. When Fullerton head football coach Tim Byrnes called Turner’s grandfather in Louisiana for help, Byrnes was told the player could “sleep better on the streets out there than he can here.”

Turner is 21, but he’s still waiting for life to deal him blackjack.

His situation substantially improved last

year after he was allowed to board with DeMarrco’s family, but that arrangement ended last month. Turner said his girlfriend’s relatives are living in subsidized housing and authorities discovered an extra football player on the couch.

So Turner headed back to the street.

His story made national news after television station KTVB in Boise aired a story Sunday chronicling Turner’s plight. The segment’s title: “A Suitcase and a Dream.”

The station and school were flooded afterward with requests to help Turner, but many people were outraged to learn it would be against NCAA rules.

Tuesday, Boise State’s compliance department issued a statement to the TV station reminding everyone Turner could not receive assistance until he started summer school classes June 6.

“We need to make it clear to your viewers and Bronco fans that it is NOT permissible within NCAA rules for boosters of Boise State athletics to provide benefits to Mr. Turner,” the statement read. “That would include money, loans, gifts, discounts, transportation costs, etc.”

It was another reason for people to lash out, mostly on social media, about the NCAA’s arcane rules regarding the welfare of student athletes.

However, in this case, the NCAA quickly responded to Boise State’s waiver request and issued a Twitter reply posted at 10:21 Wednesday morning: “After Boise State’s request last night, the school may provide immediate assistance to football studentathlete Antoine Turner.”

Turner’s scholarship covers tuition, housing and food and provides him a chance to pursue NFL dreams.

The waiver allowed Boise State to put Turner up in a hotel immediately and provide him three meals a day.

Boise State spokesman Max Corbet confirmed Thursday morning the school would pay for Turner’s transportation to Idaho as soon as he completes his classes at Fullerton.

Turner was relieved, almost beyond words, when he learned help was coming soon.

“I’m kind of shell-shocked,” he said. “I never really expected anything like this to happen to me. I always had to learn to survive on my own. ... It’s just very, very emotional.”

However, Turner did not go so far as to say things were turning his way.

“The struggle is never over, it’s an ongoing struggle for me,” he said. “Even if I get the food and I get the place to sleep, I still have this planet on my shoulder that I have to get off. It’s not a chip, it’s a planet.”

Mild-mannered off the field, Turner said he intends to channel his lifetime of hardship and bring “football destruction” to Boise State’s opponents.

“And bring inspiration to every kid across America,” he added. “Let them know that no matter what you go through, no matter what someone says to you ... nobody can stop you from making your dream come true.”

Still, it is impossible for Turner to look forward without looking back.

“I’m always going to have anxiety because I feel like somebody always can take something away from me,” he said. “I’m never going to be calm.”

Turner is guarded because of what the world has already taken.

He lost his mother to cancer when he was 4. At 12, just before the school year started, the floods of Hurricane Katrina uprooted his family from New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward.

Life has never been the same since.

Katrina started a handoff from Turner’s father to a parade of relatives who were all just struggling to survive.

Turner turned to the streets, ran with a bad crowd for a spell but eventually found refuge in football at McDonogh No. 35 High School in New Orleans.

Turner didn’t have the grades to play at a four-year college so he opted for community college. He said Fullerton was the first school that popped up in his search.

“I had a feeling this was the college for me,” Turner said. “I felt like God planned all this out in an intricate way and it all worked out.”

Frank Daggs, his high school position coach at McDonogh, recommended Turner to Fullerton assistant coach Tom Maher.

Maher said it is not uncommon for coaches of poor high schools to offer several players, but Turner clearly had potential.

“They want them all to escape,” Maher said. “But we just wanted the one.”

Turner arrived at Fullerton hoping for a life change but fell flat on his face. He redshirted his first year and played only five games as a second-year freshman. He was failing so miserably in school that Byrnes was forced to kick him off the team.

“He was stressed out, crying, he had no plan,” Byrnes said.
