Pens to Lens film competition brings screenplays to life

Pens to Lens screenwriting competition to showcase various student films in August

BY EARN SAENMUK STAFF WRITER

A number of student screenwriters may soon see their vision on the silver screen as filmmakers, actors and artists in Central Illinois produce a number of films based on submissions to Pens to Lens, a screenwriting competition for students K-12.

Participants had the opportunity to submit their screenplays until February 28, after which filmmakers selected scripts that they liked or are interested in producing. Pens to Lens has received about 150 submissions and about 20 will be produced by the end of July.

Last year, filmmakers produced a total of nine movies over a period of one and a half months.

“We’re going to be showing about twice as many movies as last year,” said Thomas Nicol, organizer for Champaign Movie Makers and Pens to Lens director.

“We were mostly focused just in town last year, but this year we actually have a lot of submissions from out of town.”

The Champaign-Urbana Film Society, Champaign Movie Makers and ChampaignUrbana Design Organization hosted this competition for the first time last year to connect with area children.

The competition saw submissions from children as young as 5 years old to high school seniors and the length of each submission varies.

After selecting which screenplays to produce, filmmakers cast actors and find artists from the community. Nicol said the Champaign-Urbana community is home to many talented people who are always eager to help out. When producers get the scripts from children, they can really think creatively and make the stories come to life.

“One of my favorite things is seeing a script that I didn’t particularly care for getting made into something wonderful,” he said.

Andrew Kowalski, Curtis Bradley and Garret Williams, soon-to-be Urbana High School freshmen, are among the participants whose scripts were chosen to be turned into movies. They wrote the script as part of an enrichment class activity, “(The teacher) had us write the storyboard,” Bradley said. “We just

brainstormed and it took about a day to come up with the story.”

Kowalski, Bradley and Williams have had a chance to be part of the movie as well.

This is the first time they have been to a shooting, and they said they thought it was really interesting.

“What surprised me was how long it takes just to shoot something that’s like 30 seconds long,” Kowalski said. “There were a lot (of cuts.)”

Emily Jahn, junior in LAS and member of Illini Film and Video, is producing a Pens to Lens film this year. Jahn, along with her family and friends, picked the script together. This will be her first Pens to Lens film, which has been fun, she said, but more stressful than anything she has done.

“I love making movies, but writing screenplays is not my strong point,” Jahn said. “Besides Pens to Lens being a really cool idea, it’s also pretty convenient for me.”

Andrew Stengele, another filmmaker directing a Pens to Lens film, said that it can sometimes be difficult to understand children’s minds, especially when the scripts are really short. Some scripts did not have enough description of the scenes, so he had to add what he thought fits and recreate the scenes by himself.

“They said, ‘We didn’t write it to be funny, but it’s ok this way too,’” Stengele said.

The filmmakers will likely burn DVD copies of the movies so the children can send them to family and friends who cannot attend the film screenings. Right now, all of the competition’s films are self-funded, which has prevented some directors from starting the production process. DVD sales will help fund next year’s Pens to Lens productions, providing more opportunities for people who are interested.

Last year, Pens to Lens was a hit with audiences. Screening all nine movies took approximately one hour and all tickets for the two screenings sold out. This year’s Pens to Lens Gala is scheduled to be on August 9 at the Virginia Theater in Champaign. Tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. on July 18.

The Mahomet Aquifer services much of Central Illinois The Mahomet Aquifer is a massive underground water source that services more than 14 counties and 750,000 people across Central Illinois Local officials and citizens fear that if Area Disposal Company is issued a permit to dispose Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the Clinton Landfill, then the main water source for these counties will be negatively impacted.

Mahomet Aquifer faces controversy for permit request Area Disposal Company requests permit to dump toxic waste into Clinton Landfill

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

The Mahomet Aquifer, which supplies drinking water to over 750,000 people in over 14 counties in Central Illinois, has been the subject of much discussion due to Area Disposal Company’s permit request to dump toxic Polychlorinated Biphenyls, or PCBs, in the Clinton Landfi ll, which sits just above the aquifer.

PCBs are one of the most dangerous man-made chemical compounds, which has residents fearing that if the permit is passed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, their main water supply could become contaminated and rendered unsafe for consumption.

Area Disposal Company, also known as Peoria Disposal Company, already has a permit to deposit MGP, or Manufactured Gas Plant waste, at the Clinton Landfill.

But those who oppose this policy are trying to not only prevent PCBs from being added to the landfill, but are also rallying to stop all toxic waste chemicals from being deposited.

The Champaign County Mahomet Aquifer Summit was held on Saturday morning at the Champaign Public Library to address the issue and inform

the public of the consequences that would follow if the pending permit is passed.

“This is a case where local governments, cities and counties are working well with citizens who all have the same goal in mind, which is to protect our source of water for future generations,” said retired City Manager Steve Carter.

Elected officials and residents of Central Illinois attended the summit to share information about the mission of protecting the aquifer and to share their feelings of frustration and concern over potential contamination.

Research and studies are currently being done at the University to look into the effects of the dumping of PCBs in the Clinton Landfill.

“If we’re going to have any credibility with the state or the federal government in particular, it had to be based on science and not just because we don’t like it,” Carter said.

State Sen. Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, co-chairs the Mahomet Aquifer Working Group along with State Sen. Mike Frerichs, D-Champaign. The group created a science-based subcommittee that includes scientists from the University of Illinois Prairie Research Institute. These scientists are working

to find an alternate way to deal with the PCB issue by looking for the cheapest and most efficient way to process it in an environmentally sustainable way.

“The goal was to let science drive us, not politics or personalities,” Rose said.

Currently, citizens are taking action by petitioning the U.S. EPA to deny Area Disposal Company’s application for a permit to dump PCBs in the landfill and Gov. Pat Quinn to call for an end to the dumping of MGP waste at the landfill and repeal its permit for a chemical waste unit.

A boycott has also been called on Area Disposal.

Much frustration comes from the degree to which Clinton Landfi ll’s operations have been hidden from the public and thus deemed unlawful. In 2002, the landfill held a public hearing where they stated they would not take any waste containing PCBs and that special waste would not contain any hazardous materials. Without a separate public hearing, the agreement was amended to include a chemical waste unit.

Should the Mahomet Aquifer become unstable due to contamination, an analysis by the Illinois State Water Survey showed that none of the surface water reservoirs in the region, including

Lake Vermillion, Lake Decatur, Lake Springfield, Evergreen Lake and Lake Bloomington, have adequate capacity to serve additional communities. It is for this reason that advocates are emphasizing the preservation of the aquifer.

“The first question common sense asks is: why on earth would you have chosen that site to begin with?” said Ann Burger, a Champaign County resident. “It is long past time to ask that question, and if they can’t answer it, then close the chemical waste facility.”

In response to concerns about water contamination, Area Disposal has claimed that their engineers have already prevented any future leaks with a landfill design consisting of several feet of packed clay, three plastic sheets and an assortment of sump pumps, stating this will keep the containment system leak-proof for 1,000 years.

But the effectiveness of such measures is being questioned by many.

“We simply cannot prepare in advance for the death of water,” Burger said. “We cannot reverse it — we can only prevent it.”

Many lineup of in front of Joe’s Brewery during the Greek Reunion Weekend this past weekend.

Greek members reunite on campus Campus community hosts Greek Reunion over weekend

BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

Regular Champaign bar-goers can now return to on-campus bars without the crowds, rowdiness and $5 to $10 covers that come with the summer annual Greek Reunion weekend.

Greek Reunion was hosted at the University this past weekend, starting on Friday afternoon and ending in the early hours of Sunday morning. The weekend-long event’s purpose is to unite University Greek system members together after weeks of separation during the summer.

Although the “holiday” may come off as problematic to some, University police were not worried about the return of Greek Reunion.

“We are aware of this weekend coming, and we are expecting more people to be on campus,” said University Police Department Capt. Roy Acree before the start of Greek Reunion. “We are used to dealing with more people. We will be able to handle any type of situation that we usually have on these type of weekends.”

Most of the on-campus bars took advantage of Greek Reunion weekend, with Red Lion starting festivities at 5 p.m. on Friday and 11 a.m. on Saturday. Joe’s opened at 7 p.m.

Friday, hosting Chicago-based DJs Win and Woo, Papercha$er and New York headliners The Disco Fries. Similarly, Cly’s reopened just

for the weekend after being closed through the summer.

By 10 p.m. Friday night, Green Street was flooded with students walking to the bars and waiting in long lines to enter the venues.

Slurred conversations and screams could be heard from blocks away as students made their way towards Green Street.

“To Lion!” one student said enthusiastically passing by on Green Street.

“Joe’s!” another student on Green Street yelled back.

By 11 p.m. Red Lion was packed with Greek members and students, with minimal standing and walking room. The line to get into KAM’S was nearly 20 minutes long by 11:30 p.m., but noticeably less crowded and more comfortable once inside. Inside KAM’S there was room for students to move and dance, and conversations between friends were able to be held.

“Happy Greek Reunion 2014!” said KAM’S DJ Delicato to the cheering crowd.

By 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, the streets of Champaign were still crowded with students stumbling around and making their way home.

But by 11 a.m., Red Lion was already open to start Saturday Greek Reunion festivities.

Red Lion hosted a variety of DJs all day, and opened a large inflatable water slide in their Beer Garden at 2:30 p.m. until 6.

By 9 p.m., the bars and streets were crowded

with students once again. Lines for entering the bars remained long, with cover prices varying between the venues.

Cover at Red Lion reached $10 Saturday night, but still had a long line to enter at 11 p.m. Once inside, the crowd was significantly smaller than the previous night, but still a good size.

Although the line to get into Cly’s was short and the bar did not seem as packed compared to the others, one thing was unique about Cly’s — there was no cover.

“It was nice knowing there was one bar that I didn’t have to pay $5 or $10 dollars to get into,” said Rob Put, junior in Engineering.

“I paid $10 to get into Lion. That’s crazy, considering I haven’t had to pay cover anywhere all summer.”

The small crowd covering the first and second floor of Cly’s remained through the night, with a more relaxed atmosphere compared to some of the other bars. Friends were seen chatting, laughing, dancing and embracing through the night.

Although Greek Reunion weekend came to an end, students continued talking about it late Sunday morning.

“Greek reunion 2014, I have nothing left,” said an anonymous Yik Yak user.

Prosperity Gardens employs atrisk teens to work in gardens Organization hopes to beautify the neighborhood and increase employment

BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

What was once an empty lot a few years ago on North First Street in Champaign has since been turned into the Prosperity Gardens, established in 2010 with the goal of beautifying the neighborhood and employing at-risk teens to assist in the gardens.

The urban garden was started through a collaboration between the Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club and other local organizations, including the University of Illinois Extension and the North First Street Association. The founders approached the City of Champaign, which invested land and a grant for the project.

Some of the biggest challenges neighborhoods in the area and the community at large faced included the need for employment and the need for improved health.

“So we decided to form this non-profit on the base of, ‘How do we really address those systemic poverty issues that continue to plague our community through urban farming?’” said Nicole Bridges, executive director of Prosperity Gardens.

The garden holds a farm stand to sell its produce at the garden’s location at 302 N. First St. each Thursday beginning in June through September. Bridges said they set their prices significantly lower than that of grocery stores in order to address the affordability and accessibility issues that often arise when it comes to buying local foods. The garden also accepts LINK or SNAP as methods of payment.

The Prosperity Gardens have a strong partnership with the R.E.A.D.Y. Program, an alternative middle and high school program

that works with families, social service agencies and educational communities in an effort to help students find success. A Prosperity Gardens staff member frequents the school during the academic year to recruit students to work in the gardens.

About 25 students each semester participate.

“We work with the WIA program (Workforce Investment Act), in which R.E.A.D.Y. receives state funding to be able to allow kids to have job opportunities,” Bridges said.

Kathryn Smith, WIA coordinator and teacher at R.E.A.D.Y., added that the program helps students be “successful after graduation,” and teaches skills “that are not traditionally taught in school.”

Smith said one way they promote those skills is through R.E.A.D.Y.’s alliance with the Prosperity Gardens.

“Our partnership includes integrating urban farming and agriculture into our science classes, building and maintenance of the gardens into our math classes, ... using the produce in our culinary arts classes, and proving jobs to students where they not only learn about the agricultural side of the Prosperity Gardens but also the marketing, sales, and management of a small business,” said Smith in an email.

The gardens employ students outside of the WIA program as well, with two students hired directly by Prosperity Gardens and a new extension this summer that offers opportunities to Champaign’s Summer Youth Employment Program, under which one student was hired. Workers are in charge of weeding and watering, harvesting, washing and packing the produce for sale, and setting up the market stand each week.

ABRAR AL-HEETI THE DAILY ILLINI

The Prosperity Gardens employ at-risk youth to participate in planting, watering and harvesting, as well as assisting in the weekly farm stand.

“High school students have a hard time getting jobs in the first place (and) having an added speckled past doesn’t help,” Bridges said. “First and foremost I think it’s really great that we’re able to offer a subset of our community job opportunities to really strengthen those customer service skills, basic math skills, and then just learning about the basics of gardening.”

Chaitra Shivaprasad, farm manager at Prosperity Gardens, supervises and works alongside the kids every day over the summer.

“I think this program is fantastic because it connects a lot of important things, right from local farming to employment of kids, and providing low cost food to the local people and educating kids about nutrition,” Shivaprasad said.

While the majority of proceeds from the weekly sale are used for growing more produce, all student employees make an

hourly wage, working 20 to 25 hours a week.

The garden also connects with the neighborhood adjacent to the garden and provides people there with produce right where they live.

Bridges recently purchased a bus for the gardens with the purpose of using it for a mobile market.

“The idea is that the bus would go further into some of our under-served neighborhoods and sell that produce for really cheap,” she said.

Bridges said the program has lent itself to community development and neighborhood beautification “by turning what was once some vacant spaces just collecting trash into these really fertile growing spaces that provide employment and food for people.”

Phishing attacks reported at the University DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

During the past week, individuals at the University were targets of sophisticated phishing e-mails, according to a massmail from Joe Barnes, interim chief privacy and security officer.

Due to the attack’s sophistication and similar phishing attacks experienced by other Big Ten schools, the University’s Office of Privacy and Information Assurance believes these attacks were meant to gather enough information to access University resources and to potentially change personal information, such as payroll direct deposit information.

The messages appeared to be sent from “UIUC Human Resources” and directed recipients to a fake version of a University of Illinois Enterprise Authentication Login page, but queried users for their PIN as well. The attack elicited user information here, rather than having individuals reply to the e-mail with their information.

The massmail advises that web users should regularly check the address bar of the web browser when online, only entering sensitive University information on websites that have illinois.edu or uillinois.edu at the beginning of the address. Any websites that ask for sensitive information will begin with HTTPS.

The Office of Privacy Information Assurance has notified the recipients of the message and is now monitoring affected accounts for suspicious changes in response to this attack. Additionally, both the office and CITES are working on changes to better protect users of the University’s web resources.

The massmail advises anyone who is unsure whether they have received an authentic e-mail or phone call from the University to contact the CITES Help Deck by e-mailing consult@illinois.edu or by phone at (217)244-7000.

Phishing e-mails can also be reported to report-spam@ illinois.edu.

Drivers use dashcams to record, report bad driving to insurance Dashcam installations have increased as they become more common among everyday drivers

BY TED GREGORY CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — On the back of Joe Elbaor’s 1990 Chevy Silverado is a bumper sticker that reads, “The closer you get, the slower I drive.” On the front is a video camera about the size of a cigarette pack.

Elbaor mounts the $300 camera in his passenger compartment to record erratic or uncivilized driving. The Glen Ellyn man is part of a growing number of motorists using the devices to monitor what’s happening in front of — and sometimes behind — their vehicles. They want cameras for protection from scammers, they say. Insurance companies, prosecutors and personal injury attorneys largely agree on their value.

But making that record is only a prudent first step. The second, bolder move is posting clips of erratic driving on YouTube, which Elbaor and others who share his perspective do routinely. They say posting makes the roads safer by exposing violators and educating inexperienced drivers. Plus, Elbaor and his allies say, it’s entertaining.

“It’s almost like a stress reliever, too,” said Elbaor, a mechanic and former emergency medical technician who posts under the name Joe Fpoc and includes his own driving mistakes. “When you were younger, somebody would cut you off and you’d yell at them or give them the finger, or whatever. Now, when you see somebody do something stupid, you don’t get angry. You just say, ‘You’re going on YouTube.’ “ Police and other emergency service providers have used video recorders in vehicles for decades, but everyday drivers’ use of them is much more recent, experts say.

Decreasing prices — dashboard cameras can be bought for $30 — is one factor.

Just as influential, drivers and experts say, is the popularity of harrowing, sometimes hilarious dashboard camera videos from Russia, where many more motorists use the devices to guard against widespread insurance fraud.

Compilations of those videos — a legendary segment shows a truck driver thrown through his vehicle’s windshield and landing on his feet after a crash with another truck — gain tens of millions of views on

YouTube.

A clip that Illinois trucker Brian Miner uploaded to YouTube on June 25 has garnered nearly 4 million views. It shows Miner’s exchange with an Illinois state trooper who stopped Miner after the trucker honked at the officer for purportedly speeding and using a handheld cellphone.

Early in the five-minute video shot in the cabin of the truck, the trooper threatens Miner with a ticket for “unlawful use of horn.” Miner tells the officer he’s recording the conversation, and about 90 seconds later, the officer changes his mind, saying he understands “you were just trying to help me drive safely.”

After the encounter, Miner turns the camera on himself. “And, that’s what happens,” he says, “when they know you’re recording.”

Watching clips recorded in Russia was what prompted Sebastian Dembinski, of Winfield, to mount a cellphone on his windshield in 2012, he said. Dembinski, who manages a store in Winfield, is on his third dashboard camera. He bought his current model for $30 on Amazon.com in January and posts under the name mydashcam6.

“It’s the best tool you have to avoid being scammed,” said Dembinski, 28. “It’s simple protection. Mine is $30 and it could save me thousands. It’s a no-brainer.”

He experienced validation in February in Lombard, where a van driver changed lanes, snapping back Dembinski’s side-view mirror. It was undamaged, but the other driver denied his vehicle struck Dembinski’s 2013 Chevy Sonic — until Dembinski replayed the video for him.

“That’s when he changed his tone,” Dembinski said. “It was completely different. He became apologetic. That’s the thing. Once you have that proof, it changes the whole scenario for you.”

Since he began posting in about July 2012, Dembinski has uploaded 87 videos on YouTube, he said. He’s alerted police to a drunken driver, although authorities were unable to apprehend the offender. Many of the comments he’s received, Dembinski said, are from younger drivers who say they’re learning what driving practices to avoid.

“I want more people using them,” he said.

“The more people use them, the more they’ll

Dozens of dashcam models exist, with features as varied as those of smartphones.

Prices can range from less than $20 to several hundred dollars. Some have sensors that automatically save several seconds before and after the vehicle’s sudden movement. Some have motion detectors to allow recording when the vehicle is parked.

Most have high-definition resolution and date and time stamps. The better models have high-quality night vision, GPS, a screen for immediate viewing and the capacity to record indefinitely, “overwriting” the oldest files after storage is full.

Electronics manufacturers and retailers decline to release sales statistics. But more companies are offering dashcams, and industry experts say the number of people buying them is rising steadily.

“We’ve definitely seen increased interest in dashcams, which is one of the reasons why we decided to develop our own model,” said Johan-Till Broer, spokesman for Garmin International Inc. in Olathe, Kan. The company introduced its first model in January. “Whether you damage your car by driving over a pothole, or you find yourself in a ‘he said/she said’ scenario, capturing video of what happened can be helpful in many situations.”

Justin Gear, who oversees auto technology at 15 Best Buy stores in the retailer’s south Chicago region, says the number of dashcam installations has increased dramatically in the last two years. Many customers are parents of new teen drivers.

Encouraged by insurance companies, the parents buy cameras that can record what’s

happening in the vehicle cabin as well as in front of it, Gear said.

“They’re spying on their kids, essentially,” Gear said, adding that general interest in the cameras is spreading too.

Added Bill Gremminger, of Springfield, Mo., owner of online retailer DashCamUSA.com: “It’s going to take off. It’s just a matter of time.”

Insurance actuaries looked at the capacity of dashcams and determined, for the most part, that the devices don’t reduce the number of accidents or their severity, said James Lynch, chief actuary of the Insurance Information Institute in New York City.

“There’s the possibility of a lower marginal cost because the camera could sometimes help sort out fault, lowering the cost of adjusting the claim,” Lynch said. “But those savings would probably be really, really small.”

Insurance giant State Farm “welcomes video footage from a dash camera,” said spokeswoman Missy Dundov, but does not offer discounts for the devices for the same reason Lynch cited. “While a dashcam may provide information about why a crash occurred,” Dundov said, “it is not a device that is designed to inhibit the crash from happening in the first place.”

Attorneys are a little more supportive.

“On behalf of prosecutors, we love videos,” said David LaBahn, who worked as a prosecutor in California for 10 years and now serves as president and CEO of the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, in Washington, D.C. As long as the footage can be authenticated, “a few seconds of video are worth all the testimony in the world.”

', '(1,(' TASTE CLOSES FIRST TIME SINCE 1992

Following a morning rainstorm Saturday that forced Taste of Chicago to close its doors for the first time in decades, the delicious food festival opened its doors once again Sunday morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for as long as Mother Nature cooperates.

The decision was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not one taken lightly,â&#x20AC;? the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; commissioner, Michelle Boone, told the Chicago Tribune, but was made due to excessive rainfall and flooding on the festival grounds and the fact that electrical wiring in the food preparation areas could have been hazardous.

Although safety is important, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to condone any closure of this delicious festival.

You can find us hoarding tickets and buying all the delicious, relatively overpriced and underportioned snacks we can get our hands on Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making up for lost time.

$/0$ $33529(' AMATEUR EXPLORERS FIND LOST FORT IN EVERGLADES

Bringing hope to those who have wanted to be adventurers/archaeologists/tomb raiders since their youngest years, a team of amateur explorers say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found a lost U.S. Army fort in the Everglades. According to the Chicago Tribune, the fort once served as a restocking post for troops during a series of battles with the Seminole Indians. Shawn Beightol is a Miami Public School chemistry teacher and longtime Everglades explorer who learned of the fort in a book more than a decade ago. He found a trio of maps from the 1850s and began to talk to local park rangers and fishermen in hopes of finding the fort, built in 1837. Beightol and his team overlaid the maps with GPS coordinates and spent more than 100 hours searching before finding a site that matched the description.

If the site is authentic, Beightol would like to see the site memorialized and linked to kayak and bike routes connected to Miami. Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Indiana Jones â&#x20AC;&#x153;this belongs in a museumâ&#x20AC;? spirit we like to hear.

Soccer provides unity and universal bond for Americans EMMA GOODWIN Opinions columnist

W

hen I was in third grade, I was all about extra curricular activities. I was in Girl Scouts, baton twirling and, despite my horrible coordination, my parents signed me up for soccer.

But a season of watching me walk around the soccer field talking to people instead of actually playing the sport was far too painful for my parents (ahem, father). Needless to say, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to sign up again, but I was okay with it. Soccer, at that time, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really do anything for me.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn into a love of mine until four years ago when I was in Germany and watched their soccer team enter the semifinals of the 2010 World Cup. Once I learned the rules of the game and actually paid attention, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of the sport that I hated to play, but now loved to watch.

I anxiously awaited the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup two years ago and the World Cup

again this year. I made brackets. I lost four followers on Twitter during the Belgium v. USA game after sending out 12 soccer related tweets. And you know what? #sorrynotsorry So do I really have to go into how peeved I was when Ann Coulter had the audacity to say that our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing interest in soccer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sign of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moral decay?â&#x20AC;? Hating on the entire sport and citing its genesis in our country as unnecessarily foreign, she angered just about every soccer fan in the United States.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with one of her overwhelmingly ignorant comments.

Towards the end of her article, Coulter promised, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No American whose greatgrandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time.â&#x20AC;?

Soccer is the only sport that comes to mind that has universal appeal.

Coulter is right in the sense that soccer is adorned by people across the globe, but she underestimates the stake that Americans have in it.

Baseball might be one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

favorite past-times, but playing soccer is almost like a rite of passage for every child. No matter how poorly you might have played, you probably played at some point.

Playing on a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team provides a first real sense of teamwork for a lot of youngins. You need to learn how to communicate, work under pressure, think ahead and work across different obstacles. And those are just the residual skills that you get. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touch the athletic skills that you start developing when you begin at a younger age.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about playing, versus watching.

Two of Coulterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noted problems with soccer is the many scoreless ties and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are no heroes, no losers, no accountability, and no childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fragile self-esteem is bruised.â&#x20AC;?

But really, during childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, no sport has accountability, heroes or losers.

That comes with more evolved players, bringing us to the World Cup. In the USA v. Belgium match, our goalie and our sub, Tim Howard and DeAndre Yedlin, were the two biggest heroes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen. In the Germany

v. Brazil game, Toni Kroos scored twice in three minutes, Andre Schurrle scored twice in ten. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to point any fingers, but any goalie and defense pairing that lets in seven goals seems kind of like a group of losers to me.

Soccer jargon aside, if you think a growing soccer fan base is a sign for the way our nation is going, run for cover. The Germany v. Brazil game was the most talked about sports match on Twitter ever. More than any World Series or Superbowl (and my phone was dead so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to do with it! But again, #sorrynotsorry.)

People everywhere respect and adore the game of soccer, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching or playing, and it provides a universal bond.

Coulter is wrong. Our growing love for soccer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t signal our moral decay.

If anything, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign of our growth in teamwork. And with the possibility of the United States winning back the World Cup hosting slot in 2022, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sport that is here to stay.

Illinois basketball looks for temporary home

As State Farm Center construction continues, options for temporary venues are abundant ALEX ROUX Sports columnist

H

ave you seen the renderings yet? The glimpses of the future for the home of Illinois basketball?

Images on fightingillini.com show a glistening, re-vamped State Farm Center ready for the 2016-17 season, but at this point the improvements and amenities are only digital.

If you drive by the arena today youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see cranes, rubble and bulldozers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair to wonder how the Illini can possibly play home games through all of the construction?

The answer? They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

At least not all of them, according to University officials, who acknowledged last week that State Farm Center wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to host home games during the 201516 season until December â&#x20AC;&#x2122;15.

The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team usually has at least four home games in November during a given season, not counting two exhibition games. So while the Illini should be able to play all of their home games at their

actual home venue in 2014-15, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start looking for a temporary home (or homes) for late 2015.

While this may seem like a bummer for the program and a burden for fans and players alike, I believe this can be a positive experience for Illinois basketball as a whole.

Imagine this potential scenario heading into the 2015-16 season: John Groceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team is coming off a deep NCAA tournament run in March â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;15, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reeled in a top ten recruiting class that needs to be shown off. The level of hype surrounding Illinois basketball hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been seen since 2005. An Illini basketball barnstorming tour would bring statewide Orange and Blue Fever to critical mass.

Even if my vision doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pan out exactly in that fashion, why not use the unique scheduling circumstances to promote Illini basketball all over the state? Add in the fact that Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; November home schedule is usually a slate of pushovers, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that this is a low-risk, high-reward opportunity.

Even though State Farm Center is the only arena in Illinois outside of Chicagoland with a capacity over 15,000, there are plenty of capable venues in the state that are an easy drive away from Champaign.

I have no doubt that fans would embrace it.

Two of the most obvious candidates are under an hour away: US Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington and Redbird Arena in Normal. Sure, Illinois State encourages its fans to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spread the Red,â&#x20AC;? but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure BloNoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thousands of Illini fans would help Paint the Town Orange for a game or two. State Farm is even headquartered in Bloomington, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d feel right at home as far as sponsorships go.

Expand the travel radius to 90 miles or so, and the Illini could conceivably host games in Peoria and Springfield. Peoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carver Arena is attached to a spacious convention center, which would be an obvious location for a huge pre-game event. (Think concert, banquet, Illinithemed carnival, etc.) Play a game in the state capital of Springfield at Prairie Capital Convention Center, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our State, Our Teamâ&#x20AC;? promos basically write themselves.

While these downstate locations are great candidates, most Illinoisans live up north. Illinois basketball needs to remain relevant in the Chicago area, so why not play at least one game close to where thousands of alumni live and work? We already have the annual United Center

game, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking Allstate Arena in Rosemont would be ideal.

Besides hosting DePaul basketball, Allstate Arena is also home to the most famous and memorable Illini basketball game of all time. It hosted the NCAA regional in 2005, when Illinois defeated Arizona to go to the Final Four. Plus, with a capacity of 17,500, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely prepared to hold a large Illini crowd, and Rosemont could use the business. The Illini had more fans attend two games at State Farm Center last season than DePaul had in all of its home games combined. Yikes.

So while we still have this upcoming season to worry about, November 2015 looms. Though an unplayable home arena has the potential to be an inconvenience, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that it can be turned into something fun. For one season, sparsely-attended late fall home games can turn into a state-wide event.

If the school can pull this off effectively, a temporary relocation for Illinois basketball will have been a blessing in disguise.
