Nugent Hall model for University of Florida facility Disability-accessible residence hall at UI serving as archetype BY TAYLOR ODISHO STAFF WRITER

As the University maintains its status as one of the most accessible college campuses in the nation, one university works to do the same. The University of Florida will create a new residence hall that will offer more accessibility to handicapped students. The new hall, which will open in August 2015, is modeled after the University’s Nugent Hall. The UF chose Nugent Hall as an archetype for the Residence Hall Project for a number reasons, one of them being its staff’s ties to Illinois. “As a former student at the University of Illinois, I’m well aware of the very long commitment and excellent reputation the University has in its regard for having facilities that are accessible and well beyond the ADA (Americans with Disability Act) standards in the United States,” said Dave Kratzer, vice

Crops grow on the Hendrick House’s farm field that is on loan from the Sustainable Student Farm on Monday. Hendrick House use organic practices, no pesticides or chemicals, to help feed three dorms — Hendrick House, Presby Hall and Armory House — and around 30 fraternities and sororities.

Local food a growing movement

Hendrick House, new law raise awareness for eating local BY ELEANOR BLACK STAFF WRITER

Within the Sustainable Student Farm, located on the outskirts of campus, lies a half-acre plot fi lled with rows of vegetation. This plot belongs to Hendrick House and grows tomatoes, lettuce, beans and other vegetables to provide food for private certified housing on campus. The farm is just one part of Illinois’ local food movement. In August, Gov. Pat Quinn approved “Eat Local, Buy Illinois Products Day,” which is recognized statewide and will occur on the fi rst Saturday of every month. Naomi Jakobsson, D-103, cosponsored the bill in the Illinois General Assembly before Quinn signed it into law. “Well, I think it’s certainly a

very good thing for this area, for economic development, for local businesses,” Jakobsson said. “Some of them are small and really trying to make it, and others have been around, but it’s also important to support them. It also helps people fi nd out where all the products and local businesses are.” This movement would promote the fresh produce from the Hendrick House plot, as well as other locally grown food. Hendrick House Chef Ann Swanson is in charge of the plot, which she started preparing in May. With the plot, Swanson said her goal is for Hendrick House to become more sustainable by sourcing more than 95 percent of its vegetables through her. “The benefits are just countless. One, it cuts down on emis-

sions because you’re not shipping products across the country, (and) you can control exactly what you’re doing to the plants, so you know exactly how it’s going to taste,” she said. “Of course, it’s being harvested out of the ground that day, so you really can’t get a fresher product than what we’re serving right now.” Drew Thomason , outreach coordinator at the Illinois Stewardship Alliance, said the day serves as a way to raise awareness about local food. “It gives people a taste of buying local, and hopefully throughout the month they’ll (continue),” he said. Thomason said the most quantifiable benefit of buying locally is its effect on the economy. He said Illinois consumers buy

Donation funds mammograms for uninsured women STAFF WRITER

Presence Covenant Medical Center’s Foundation donated $10,000 to the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District in early September to finance free breast and cervical cancer screenings for uninsured women, more than 700 of which are on a waiting list. “Women from 35-64 years of age who do not have access to care, do not have health insurance or Medicare or any of those services ... can enroll through us for screening services,” said Cathy Propst, Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer program coordinator at the CUPHD. Propst said the program provides women with a clinical breast exam, pelvic exam and Pap test. When they turn 40, a mammogram — an X-ray of breast tissue used to look for masses or abnormalities that indicate breast cancer — is added to the service. Louise Fellmann, women’s health patient navigator and program coordinator at Presence Covenant Medical Center, said she recommended that any woman over the age of 40 or any woman who has a family history of breast cancer should discuss scheduling yearly mammograms with her doctor.

“If a woman doesn’t have a mammogram every ten years, a lot could change, and they could have a mass that has gotten larger spread more to the other organs, possibly,” she said. Fellmann said the early detection screenings the program is offering to uninsured women will help women in the community stay healthier and live longer. “I feel that it will help in a lot of ways, because the woman who couldn’t afford a mammogram will now have a better chance of survival by having a screening done and finding (a mass or calcification) early,” she said. However, Propst said funding for the program has been difficult because of budget cuts from state and federal funding sources in the last three to four years. “It has dropped enough that we don’t always have enough money each fiscal year to serve all the women in our communities that need those services,” Propst said. Since November, Propst’s office has adapted a priority system in which the highest priority women are served according to a woman’s statistical risk in developing cancer. The first-level priority is for women who are symptomatic with a breast lump or a nip-

ple discharge, indicating that they potentially need diagnostic services. The second level is for women who are over the age of 50 because the risk for developing breast cancer increases with age. The third level is for women who are 40-49, and the fourth level is for women who are 35-39. “When Presence learned that there were women in Champaign County who are waiting for service because of our funding difficulty, they offered us to partner with their ‘It’s All in the Jeans’ campaign,” Propst said. When a company registers for “It’s All in the Jeans,” a Presence campaign, it asks its employees to pay $5 to wear jeans on the first Friday of October, because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, the campaign will be held on Oct. 4. Angela Reinhart, development specialist with Presence Cove-

nant Medical Center’s Foundation, said the purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for community education programs, patient care packs for individuals at the hospital and, for the first time, mammography scholarships. “This year, we were in the position where we could donate $10,000 in scholarships to CUPHD for individuals on a waiting list to receive a mammogram,” Reinhart said. “We’ve been raising funds in the past, and this year we were able to get a considerable amount.” About 60 companies and 3,000 participants have registered for the “It’s All in the Jeans” campaign. Reinhart said she is expecting about 160 companies and 5,000 participants because there is usually a rush at the end of the registration period. She said the campaign raises roughly around $30,000 per year. Among the sponsors for the

campaign are PepsiCo, Acoustic MedSystems Inc., ChampaignUrbana MTD, College of Engineering Career Services and Walgreens. The screening services are not provided at the CUPHD office. Rather, the office has contracts with local providers, including hospitals, large clinics and private doctor offices. “We hold contracts with providers throughout the county area, so the women enroll with us, and they go to the medical provider close to their home for the actual hands-on services,” Propst said. “Then we actually pay the bills out of our office.” If any of the women are diagnosed with cancer, the program is able to transfer them to receive medical care, which is not paid for by the CUPHD.

The state-operated health insurance marketplace will go online in less than two weeks, which will begin another large phase of the Affordable Care Act. Millions of Americans will be able to shop the health insurance marketplace as it becomes part of their monthly budget. As the ACA expands Medicaid to cover adults between the ages of 19 and 64, who are currently not eligible for Medicaid, experts say it can increase health care costs over the short term. Jeffrey Kemp Rinderle , representative of the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, explained how people can make the best out of the situation. “People can buy insurance from private health plans that cover a comprehensive set of benefits, including doctor

So, what we’re saying is, use this day as a springboard to buy local to keep some of that money locally.” He added that if Illinois consumers bought 15 percent of their food from local producers, it would bring $639 million into our economy annually.

ACCESSIBILITY is an accessible room, so what the University of Illinois does, and has done from the beginning, is say, ‘What’s the minimum?’ But we always go beyond the minimum in terms of what’s been practiced and how we can help support students the best we can in terms of accessibility.” Before finalizing the project, UF housing administrators toured the Nugent facility and

HEALTH CARE visits, hospital stays, preventive care and prescriptions,” he said. Rinderle said plans in the marketplace must treat people fairly; they can’t deny coverage because of preexisting conditions. With a single application, people can also see if they qualify for Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program or other savings programs they can use right away to lower health insurance premiums. The ACA aims at catering to a large population, allowing parents to extend their health benefits to their children until they reach the age of 26. On the other hand, those individuals who don’t h ave he a lth care coverage, especially undocumented immigrants, can face heavy penalties for remaining uninsured. The ACA requires people to have health insurance, and those who don’t comply will face heavy taxes.

ACA and students Starting in 2014, students can receive health insurance t h rough t hei r fa m i l ies, university or new exchanges that the law calls on states to set up. Kimberly Dalluge, supervisor at Student Health Insurance, said in an email that the students who will be affected are those employed by the University in some capacity. “If a student is receiving a paycheck from the University of Illinois they must have health insurance,” Dalluge said. She said if the students already have insurance and if they are exempted out of the Student Health Insurance plan, then they satisfy the requirement, and nothing further is needed. “However, if a student who exempted out of this plan lost their insurance and they never bothered to reinstate into the Student Health Insurance plan or purchase another comparable plan, then they would be required to either reinstate into the Student Health Plan or purchase another plan,” she said. “The exchanges would be one place they could purchase a plan.”

ACA and extra help employees The University has about 3,450 extra help employees in areas that involve maintenance, pr ofe ssio n a l service, secretarial, accounting and information technology-related responsibi l ities. Bec ause extra help employees work in temporary assignments, there are no benefits associated with the employment. Katie Ross, senior director at the University Human Resources Office, said the University provides medical benefits to all of its permanent employees, but those who work on need-based status will need to seek other options. “As the provision has been postponed (until) 2015, the University is considering

A second visit was with design team members including architects, engineers, the UF ADA Compliance Administrator and UF housing staff, Blansett said. “UF administrators were interested in both facility and program design elements in order to support students with higher levels of mobility challenges, many of whom may be veterans,” Blansett said. The new hall at UF will include elements from Nugent Hall such

as proximity card readers in elevators, which allow wheelchair users to bump an elevator’s wall for their floor level, hallways that are 8 feet wide and rooms large enough to allow caregivers to live with students, if needed, Kratzer said. The UF will also include SureHands Lift & Care Systems, which are railroad-like contraptions mounted to the ceiling to help students move around the room and bathroom, and teaching kitchens to help students live independently. As the UF works toward more

advanced accessibility, Malik said the University is always trying to maintain its status of being a leader in accessibility. “Right now, for example, DRES (Disability Resources and Educational Services) is working with faculty and services, as well as electrical engineering staff, on a remote control elevator project to make elevators (in buildings other than Nugent) accessible to students that cannot reach the button to use them,” Malik said. Not only is the University working to make the campus

physically accessible to students with disabilities, it is also developing more programs to help students succeed in other areas. “I think that we sometimes forget that the vast majority of people on this campus with disabilities have disabilities that are not (physical),” Malik said. “They’re learning disabilities (or) psychiatric post-traumatic stress disorders, and so we provide a lot of support for those students.” The University also discussed with UF ways to both recreate Nugent Hall and enhance the facility with new ideas and new

technology, which, Malik said, was one of “the best things that (the University) could have done.” Kratzer commended the University for its assistance with the project. “I think every place we go, we really credit the University of Illinois and Nugent Hall for being such great partners and helping us and sharing the information that they have gained through the years,” Kratzer said.

campus, including Presby Hall, Armory House and more than 30 sororities and fraternities. “As chefs, it’s important to us that the food is good,” Whobrey said. “‘You are what you eat,’ is what my mom always told me growing up. This is real food. This is the way that it’s supposed to be done.”

The ACA has a provision that requires employers to provide health benefits to employees who work 30 hours a week or more. Michael Leroy, professor in the School of Labor and Employment Relations and the College of Law, said that in coming years, part-time employees will be in a very tough position. “Obamacare requires everyone to have a health i nsura nce. With l i mited resources, it is difficult for uninsured or underinsured to consider enrolling for a health plan,” he said. Leroy also suggested some possible solutions. He said in addition to expanding health care coverage to the uninsured, the ACA can help bring relief to the underinsured, or the millions of people who have health insurance but who have plans with inadequate coverage that leave them exposed to unaffordable medical costs. Health reform has the potential to help by providing premium assistance and lowering out-ofpocket costs, he said. Ross said the University remains undecided if it will provide extra health employees with health benefits, as per ACA provisions.

ACA and small businesses According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than 48 million Americans were uninsured in 2011. The ACA requires small business owners to provide their employees, working more than 30 hours, with health benefits. Leroy said the provision may be good news for some employees, but many small businesses that can’t afford this additional cost. Those unable to afford health care benefits for parttime employees are reducing the number of hours their employees work, so they are below the 30-hour limit, Leroy said. Although the mandate has been postponed to Jan. 1, 2015, many businesses are thinking of alternatives. Rinderle explained how the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) can simplify the process of buying health insurance for small businesses. “Employers can control the coverage they offer and how much they pay toward employee premiums,” Rinderle said. He said employers may qualify for a small business health care tax credit, worth up to 50 percent of premium costs. Additionally, the SHOP Marketplace will be open to employers with 50 or fewer fulltime-equivalent employees in 2014. According to the Congressional Budget Office, two million fewer people may receive their insurance through their employers in 2014. The number is not directly related to the new provisions of ACA but to the overall cost of health benefits.

Camp fosters girls’ interest in science

UI Extension, 4-H camp encourages 5th, 6th grade girls to enter STEM fields BY SOPHIA SOPUCH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Female University educators see the potential in involving more girls in science. The University of Illinois Extension and 4-H spearheaded an overnight science camp, STEM Education Outreach, Tuesday for fifth and sixth grade girls focused on involving more women in STEM fields. “Even though girls excel in science, they still aren’t going into the fields. This camp will make science more applicable towards girls and get them inspired as they meet role models in the field,” said Becky Buckrop, marketing and local fund development coordinator for the University of Illinois Extension. Buckrop said she thinks that attracting girls to science at an early age will encourage them to take more science classes later on in their schooling. The camp, held at the Niabi Zoo in Coal Valley, Ill., featured three female speakers involved in different fields of science. Dr. Anita Pinc led a session on obstetrics and gynecology, Stephanie Fuhr of Augustana College informed campers about soap making and beekeeping and Dr. Lia Nightingale of Palmer College of Chiropractic led a program on the chemistry behind food science. Diane Baker, a University 4-H extension educator, said the Science Siesta “is really about sparking interest in girls and exposing them to all the possibilities out there so they will later become involved in STEM programs.” Her oldest daughter has previously attended the camp. Baker said she also noticed that many of the girls who attended the camp return later as teen volunteers. The University has its own I-STEM Education Initiative that helps

foster accessible and effective science, technology, engineering and mathematics teaching as well as learning. Many STEM fields, especially engineering, have a large gender discrepancy, said Betsy Innes, web master for I-STEM. Innes said the National Science Foundation — in many of their grants to the University — encourages under-represented groups to get involved in science. Women hold less than 25 percent of STEM jobs, although they fill almost half of all jobs in the U.S. economy, according to statistical findings by the Department of Commerce published in 2011. Women in STEM fields earned 33 percent more than comparable women in non-STEM jobs, resulting in a smaller gender wage gap in STEM fields. Buckrop and Baker agree that camps such as the Science Siesta encourage girls to not shy away from these male-dominated occupations. “Many of the University projects are seeking to expose girls to other science disciplines so that they can see A) yes, science is fun and B) they can do it,” Buckrop said.

Navy Yard shooter had previous gun arrests Details emerge about shooter’s mental health, history of military infractions BY KEVIN G. HALL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — A day after a bloody rampage at the Washington Navy Yard left 13 dead in the nation’s capital, troubling new details emerged Tuesday about the psychological state of gunman Aaron Alexis and why his life appeared to have suddenly unraveled. Among the revelations: Alexis legally purchased a Remington 870 12-gauge shotgun Saturday, two days before the shooting, in Lorton, Va. A new police report said Alexis was hearing voices, and Navy officials said the former Navy reservist had at least five military infractions. Alexis apparently passed all of the background checks required in Virginia to buy the weapon, which raised new questions because of two prior arrests for gun-related incidents in the states of Washington and Texas and, more impor-

tantly, what appears to have been a psychotic break little more than a month before the killings. An Aug. 7 police report from the Newport Police Department in Rhode Island that was released Tuesday afternoon said officers were dispatched to a Marriott hotel for a harassment report from Alexis. When they spoke to him, he explained that he’d been in an argument before boarding a flight from Virginia and that two men and a woman were sent to follow him and “keep him awake by talking to him and sending vibrations into his body.” The officer’s report said the naval station police were notified and local police were advised that there would be a follow-up to determine whether Alexis, a reservist until 2011, was actually a defense contractor. The newly released police report raises questions about what hap-

A police officer stands guard at the front gate of the Washington Naval Yard on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. pened to that information. His employer, a defense subcontractor for Hewlett-Packard called The Experts, issued a statement Tuesday that said Alexis worked for the firm for six months, and Alexis underwent two routine background checks plus two more comprehensive reviews to obtain secret-level clearance from the Defense Department. “The latest background check and security clearance confirma-

tion were in late June of 2013 and revealed no issues other than one minor traffic violation,” the company said. The Navy announced Tuesday that it was conducting a review of its security clearance procedures. A senior Pentagon official confirmed that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel would order a review of physical security and access at all Defense Department installations worldwide.

E D I TO RIAL Media shield law should protect all forms of journalism

M

any journalists involved in federal cases may no longer have to answer this question: Would I be willing to go to prison to protect a source for my story? A federal shield law passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, and the legislation is now headed to the full Senate. This is the first hurdle in legally protecting confidential sources, which has been difficult for senators to clear because a similar bill was defeated in 2005 and stalled in 2009. The Free Flow of Information Act first and foremost addresses what every shield law should: It protects journalists from being forced to reveal sources who requested to remain anonymous or who requested confidentiality. It protects journalists from choosing between jail time and breaking an agreement between the journalist and source. And most importantly, it protects the act of journalism during a time when accessibility to other mediums of sharing information becomes more and more prevalent. As a news organization and as journalists, we support the bill. Even despite the bill’s introduction as a result of pressure from the Obama administration, which has been marred by a series of leaks such as the Department of Justice’s acquisition of phone records from The Associated Press’ and FOX News’. But there’s still work to be done. The Free Flow of Information Act limits what types of journalists are protected by and qualify under the law. Obviously, when national security matters are at stake, journalist or not, you will more than likely be forced under a court of law to reveal your information. This act, however, has finally addressed the question that committee members have contemplated for far too long. Who is a journalist? The easy answer is that a journalist is a writer whose byline is next to a story. Or the reporter who is at the crime scene for a local news channel. But looking beyond those vague definitions is what many senators have failed to do. The proposed version doesn’t explicitly address bloggers, citizen reporters and some freelance journalists. Senators are missing the point here: A journalist isn’t defined by his or her employment status. It’s about committing to the act of journalism, or performing the service of informing fellow citizens, which many people have the opportunity to do. Consider a whistleblower revealing documents that show how money is used in an organization. How is that different from a journalist’s mission? In the end, both whistleblowers and journalists are enlightening the public on the mishaps of an organization, although in different manners. Sure, it’s not ideal to open up the protection to the masses. But a definition that better encompasses nontraditional journalists needs to be set if the law is expected to function properly and protect, for example, bloggers and freelance journalists. As we’ve seen before, even a federal shield law — favoring traditional journalists — will bring a new set of questions.

It’s even more unfortunate that students in this generation see the same as students in the Jim Crow era. Diversity is fetch, and yes, we can make it happen.

Pageantry encourages exploitation of women, sexism KATE CULLEN Opinions columnist

S

unday evening as I settled into my couch for a relaxing, homework-free night, I turned on the TV in search of a mindless, moderately funny show that would entertain me. As the television screen came to life, so did the Miss America Pageant. My first instinct was to change the channel immediately, so as not to grant the circus-like scheme a single second of my time. But as the women trailed past the announcers with their stiff, curled hair and flowing gowns, I was drawn in. And just like that, I was fascinated with the concept of it all. I was utterly amazed that in the year 2013 we, as a society, still find it acceptable to watch women prance around on stage in string bikinis as they attempt to prove their talents to the world, just so they can be granted the esteem of wearing a crown for a few months. Yes, because apparently some of us never left kindergarten and still want to wear crowns. As I sat there, I wondered — wasn’t there just a Miss America pageant a few months ago? And the answer is both yes and no. Yes, it was a pageant, but no, it was not Miss America. Miss USA aired its pageant a few months ago. Obviously, there has to be both a Miss

America and a Miss USA; only having one would be ridiculous. For viewers like me who are not pageant savvy, both competitions seem identical — swimsuits, gowns and live questions accompanied by hysterical answers; however, it turns out that the difference between the two pageants is that Donald Trump and NBC Universal own Miss USA, and the crowned winner then goes on to compete in the infamous and wildly elaborate Miss Universe, which is also owned by Trump and NBC Universal, while Miss America is a separate organization that, unfortunately for its winner, does not hold the prospect of winning more crowns. Sigh. In addition to different ownership, the pageants also have different criteria for their competitors. All the Miss America contestants endure personal interviews, display their selected talents (yes, baton twirling is an option), strut around in swimsuits, revisit prom by wearing bedazzled dresses and try their hardest to successfully answer live questions on stage without becoming a YouTube sensation. Miss USA is totally different. You can’t even put them in the same category. Unlike Miss America, only Miss USA finalists have to answer on-stage questions, and Miss USA contestants do not have to prove their talents to the audience. The lack of baton twirling is appalling, and I question the effect it has on the pageant’s ratings. Even with these differences, Miss USA appears to be more popu-

lar, as many characterize it as sexier and more glamorous compared to the more traditional Miss America that was founded in 1921. And by more traditional, I mean that the bikinis worn by the Miss America contestants are less stringy. My amazement of the pageant world stems from the fact that there is not just one monstrous organization promoting the degradation of women by judging them based on their physical appearance; there are two of these organizational beasts running around America indoctrinating viewers. Miss America does have an edge to it: It provide scholarships to the winners. Though Miss America serves as one of the leading scholarship distributors and stresses its role as a platform for women to express their opinions to further philanthropic needs, it is mind boggling that the competition is centered on superficial characteristics. The connection between the company’s statement of purpose and the criteria by which it judges its contestants is comical — clearly how a woman looks in a swimsuit directly correlates to how well she can support her philanthropy of choice. Everyone knows that. The worst part about the scholarship concept is that these are smart, educated women who voluntarily place themselves in degrading positions to be judged by American voters. That’s scary. Though demeaning as it may be, the pageant machine continues to drudge on as countless women still

aspire to one day wear the oversized crown and carry the bountiful flowers as tears stream down her face. And for the life of me, I cannot understand why. Why any woman would voluntarily place herself on a pedestal to be put down and critiqued by thousands is beyond me. Inevitably, viewers do not care about the contestants’ philanthropy; they want to be entertained — they want sex appeal and nonsensical answers about why Americans cannot locate their own country on a map. As I watched the pageant on Sunday, I could see the hopefulness in the women’s eyes as they stood glimmering under the stage lights, ready and waiting for their respective states to be called. With heavy makeup and smiling faces, they stood, unaware that they represent a movement that continues to debase women and allow society to judge them based on their appearance. Unfortunately, these organizations will continue to exploit women by masking this intent with the face of philanthropy, and the viewers will proceed to eat it up as they are blinded by the fluorescent white teeth and sparkly dresses. Congratulations, Miss New York, you’ve ascended into the realm of pageant royalty. Don’t let the crown get too heavy.

To end mass shootings, America’s gun culture must end MAX FISHER Opinions columnist

A

waking to horrific acts of violence seems to have become unfortunately routine. Infamous shootings have become all too regular, with those such as the devasting event at Columbine, the horrific massacre at Sandy Hook and now a shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. According to current reports, there have been 13 deaths, including the suspect, and several injuries. Even with one of the suspects, Aaron Alexis, caught, closure for the victims’ families and the country as a whole is far away. What is to be said of all this violence? What can we learn? Time after time we come together as a nation to heal and mourn, but no real change takes place. It’s guns, and how to control their awful side effects, that have been at the forefront following these incidents. In fact, these mass shootings funnel money back towards gun makers. After the Sandy Hook shooting, gun sales in December doubled to $2.8 million. Before that, the biggest spike came after President Obama’s re-election. Do you want fewer innocent people dying? Then limit mass shootings. How do you limit the

amount of mass shootings? Now there is the question everyone and his shotgun-toting grandmother are trying to answer. Limiting guns is tricky. People are very hesitant to give up what has been ingrained into their mind as a necessity of American culture. I used to think that background checks and limiting assault rifles would be enough, but now I know it isn’t. Well, we could arm every public official — teachers, congressmen, DMV clerks — creating a society of fear where no one moves on the presumption of being shot. Or, we could just limit those pesky guns in the first place. I believe the right to bear arms is a right that has no place in modern American culture. After Columbine, this sort of thing should never have become a regular occurrence. After Sandy Hook, gun proponents claimed that school faculty and teachers were not properly defended. Now, after the most elite navy in the world is attacked in its own backyard, what are people saying? Personally, I can’t wait to see

how the National Rifle Association spins this one. First of all, background checks are not always effective, and just limiting assault rifles does not keep someone from obtaining another type of weapon. I believe that there is only one course of action we can take that will allow us to live in a society that is not riddled with mass shootings and other acts of horrible violence: change our culture. There needs to be a continental shift in our way of thinking. Although it might be too late for our parents’ generation, there is hope for our generation and our children’s generation to make the necessary steps toward removing guns from our culture. Our generation has grown up among some of the most violent domestic events in our nation’s history. Sept. 11, the Boston Marathon bombing and numerous mass shootings have scarred our ideas of security and safety. Hopefully, this will instill a desire for peace that will translate into a new generation of lawmakers and citizens that understand that guns no longer have a place in American

There is hope for our generation and our children’s generation to make the necessary steps toward removing guns from our culture.

culture. Where does this entire pro-gun sentiment stem from anyway? Well, the gun industry has some of the best and most ruthless lobbyists. Lobbying organizations like the NRA keep a strong base of around 3.1 million members. That’s a lot of guns. Even the argument that guns in the home will help defend you against unwanted intruders is ludicrous. For example, Sheila, a typical American citizen, lives in a suburban town with relatively little crime. However, she is horrified by all the shootings that have been taking place, so she buys a gun to respond to what she believes is an uptick in crime, but is really most likely embellishment by the media. Because there is relatively no crime in her neighborhood, she doesn’t have to use the gun for numerous years. Finally, let’s say nine years later, an intruder shows up to her door. Are we really supposed to believe that she has been keeping up with proper gun maintenance, and has been going to the gun range to practice accuracy and precision shooting? Once again, doubtful. She will probably be unprepared, nervous and a danger to herself with a gun that she barely knows how to shoot. Sheila’s gun won’t help her anyway. Sheila does not need her gun, and we do not need ours.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD ACROSS

COURTESY OF FETCH! PET CARE

Recent UI, Parkland alumnae find success in dog service businesses BY JED LACY STAFF WRITER

In the wake of her mother’s unexpected death, 20-year-old Lauren Morenz, a recent graduate from Parkland College, found herself at a stand-still. The year was 2008, and like other recent alumni, Morenz found herself struggling to juggle the many stresses that come with adulthood. She had just gotten married, had abruptly lost her mother to lymphoma, and now was unhappy with her job at a publishing company. Around the same time, Kristen Duffy, a 2002 University alumna, made a career-changing decision. She purchased Fetch! Pet Care, a pet-sitting franchise located at 1100 W. Bloomington Road in Champaign, from their corporate branch. Fetch! is a petsitting service that saves clients the inconvenience of having to take their pets to a boarding facility while they are away by bringing services directly to the homes of their clients. In addition to pet-sitting, the company also provides dog walking services, doggie play groups and other various specialty services. It had long been a dream of Duffy’s to run her own business, and through Fetch!, she believed her dream could become a reality. However, Duffy also had plans to become a lawyer, and she had been accepted to John Marshall Law School in Chicago — about 150 miles away from Champaign. Unsure of how she was going to run a business in Champaign

while simultaneously earning a law degree in Chicago, Duffy said she knew she needed to find some help. Fast-forward to June 2009. Morenz, still unhappy about where her life was heading, sat at her desk, trying to think of odd jobs she could pick up. While sitting at her desk, she pulled up the Google homepage and typed “dog walking� into the search engine. The Fetch! website popped up, and she clicked on it. “I started reading about Kristen (the owner of Fetch!) and I thought I would take a shot in the dark and call her,� Morenz said. The timing could not have been more perfect. Morenz said she had no idea at the time, but her call to Duffy would serve as one of the most pivotal moments of her life. “I originally applied just to be a pet sitter,� Morenz said. “We met for the first time and did an interview while we walked a dog named Ranger. We got to talking about the ways that I would be interested in growing with the business.� Within two weeks of Morenz’s hire, Duffy offered her an opportunity to buy into the business. “We ended up working so well together, I decided to offer to her to buy in (after two weeks),� Duffy said. “It was then that we started working more as team. Lauren has come up with a lot of great ideas,� Duffy said. In the four years since Morenz has joined the Fetch! team, the duo has worked to continuously

grow the Fetch! brand. Today, Duffy spends most of her time away from the Fetch! office and can be found in Chicago pursuing her law career. In her down time, she focuses on Fetch!’s business operations and deals with their financial statements, tax returns and billing. Morenz, on the other hand, resides in Champaign and handles the day-to-day operations. This year, Morenz and Duffy decided to expand their work further. They created “Pet Stop, LLC,� a sister company to Fetch! that builds on the success of Fetch! by offering services including behavioral training, pet massages, pest supply inventory and pet massages. At the time of Morenz’s hire, the business had no paid employees or contractors, and it served 25 clients. Now, the team employs five staff members and 18 contractors, and its client base of nearly 750 includes Champaign-Urbana residents, students and University administrators. Jeff Brown, graduate student in LAS, uses Fetch! for his 25 different pets: two cats, four geckos, five frogs and 14 fish. He said he views Duffy and Morenz’s business as “professional� and “courteous.� “It is clear that Fetch! is an extremely well-run business, and that is demonstrated by how much they seem to care about their clients,� Brown said.

Astronomers offer tentative, hopeful estimates on Comet ISON’s potential

9 X] ] ] ^ WX ^X 5

BY CYNTHIA DIZIKES CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — When Adler Planetarium astronomer Mark Hammergren first heard the buzz about comet ISON last fall, he felt a familiar tinge of excitement. The brightest comet in the last century. As vivid as a full moon in the night sky over Chicago. A once-in-a-lifetime, blazing spectacle. But as ISON zips closer to Earth’s orbit, the hunk of ice and dust has done something typically cometish: upended expectations. Compared with original estimates, ISON is already dimmer than expected, reviving bitter memories of the “great� comet Kohoutek. Hyped in 1973 as the comet of that century, Kohoutek fizzled into an unspectacular dud above the southern horizon. Hammergren, who was a kid at the time, recalled being led outside after sunset to view the comet. But instead of a brilliant tail of gas and debris lashing the night sky, all Hammergren saw were contrails. “There is a great saying about comets being like cats,� Hammergren said. “They both have tails and they do what they want.� Although the society has already begun to plan viewings, astronomers at the Adler and other observatories are taking a waitand-see approach, ready to stage events if ISON should suddenly brighten or public interest spikes. Comet ISON was first spotted in September 2012 by scientists working with the International Scientific Optical Network, or ISON for short. At that time, the comet was unexpectedly bright for being so far away, fueling speculation that it would grow to record-breaking radiance by the time it swung around the sun in late November. For now, ISON can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere through a powerful telescope- a faint smudge in the constellation

NANCY STONE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Mark Hammergren, astronomer at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, is photographed on September 12, with an image of the comet ISON on his computer. of Cancer about 183 million miles away from the sun, said astronomer and Northwestern University lecturer Michael Smutko. ISON is expected to make the celestial equivalent of a flyby when it passes 730,000 miles above the sun’s surface on Nov. 28. Around that time and into December, astronomers anticipate that ISON will become visible to the naked eye, burning low in the eastern sky. Exactly how bright ISON will become, how wide and long it will grow, and whether it will put on a strictly suburban show remain unknowns. ISON is currently speeding through the cosmos at roughly 67,000 mph and is expected to accelerate to about 844,000 mph as it swings around the sun. But because ISON and other comets are so far away from Earth, unlike meteors, they appear relatively static in the sky. Comets are huge chunks of ice, frozen gases, dust and rock, a makeup that gave rise in the

1950s to the so-called dirty snowball model. As comets fall closer to the sun, heat vaporizes the ice, releasing plumes of gas and dust. Sunlight reflects off that debris, illuminating the comet. Particularly bright comets are dubbed “great comets� and have typically appeared about once every 10 years. The last truly great Northern Hemisphere comet, according to many astronomers, was HaleBopp, which was first spotted in 1995 and eventually remained visible for a record 18 months. A comet’s brightness depends on how close it passes to Earth and the sun. But it also comes down to size and composition, making predictions tricky. “I’m still hoping that it goes through some kind of major outburst and reverses its recent behavior,� Hammergren said. “You maybe have one shot in a decade of seeing a comet. They are still very special events, very beautiful events and very ephemeral.�

Andrea Medina, senior in LAS and Media, rehearses her lines in preparation for the filming of the “SeeYou Weekly� round table segment on Sept. 11. The first episode aired on UI-7 and YouTube on Friday.

6ALK SHOW NEW TO CAMPUS ‘SeeYou Weekly’ creates opportunities, provides entertainment for students BY JOLIE HUANG STAFF WRITER

To produce a successful television broadcast, there needs to be a production staff, writing team, camera crew, TV hosts, stylists, makeup artists, advertising staff and, of course, hundreds of hours of hard work. This is a task that Cory Holbrook, executive producer of the “SeeYou Weekly� TV show and senior in LAS, is all too familiar with. The newest student-run project is a talk show-style TV broadcast that features current issues and events around campus every Friday. In April, Holbrook started Ignite Media, a subcommittee of the Journalism, Advertising and Media Studies Students registered student organization, which serves as the multimedia production branch of the broadcast. It offers students independent creation resources to create short films, podcasts and documentaries. The idea for “SeeYou Weekly� sparked in May 2013. Without any faculty advisers or professional funding or help, Holbrook worked around the clock during the summer, writing proposals, designing basic graphics and promoting the show so that other Ignite Media members could understand the process of initiating an independent media project. “Part of the reason why I wanted to produce a show like

‘SeeYou Weekly’ was to promote Ignite Media,� Holbrook said. “I wanted to show members that it was really possible to start a project from the ground up.� The show aims to not only entertain the student body, but also give the students involved a learning experience. “We don’t want ‘SeeYou Weekly’ to be just news,� said Andrea Medina, senior in LAS and Media and co-host of “SeeYou Weekly.� “We actually want it to be an entertainment outlet that feature RSOs, events and people around campus. The main purpose is really to entertain, but it’s also so that other students in media, like me, can have experiences working on a set and producing before entering the professional world.� “SeeYou Weekly� held auditions for the host positions in late July. Students were sent a mass email detailing the position, and interested applicants posted a two-minute video showing off their broadcasting talents. Medina and co-host Mariah Ashley Sutton, junior in Media, were chosen based on their videos’ number of views as well as Holbrook’s opinion. “The video was supposed to discuss any topic of our choosing and be three minutes, at most,� Sutton said. “I have no prior experience hosting or being on camera, so this opportunity was

very exciting for me.� The show was first broadcast Sept. 13. It was posted on the broadcast’s YouTube channel and filmed at a dance studio and the Richmond Studio in Urbana. The 15-minute segment featured ConglomeratE representative Shontierra Porter, a hip-hop dance team and a roundtable discussion, hosted by Sutton. The roundtable gave students a chance to engage in a freeflowing discussion about serious issues in the world. Topics developed by the writing team ranged from Russian criminalization of homosexuals to recent pop culture scandals. The format of each show will be consistent, typically including an introduction, a roundtable session, a special guest and announcements. However, the length of these segments will vary based on the material the writers and staff have for the week and if new segments, such as a contest portion or short comedic sketches, are added. “We’re still working out some logistics, but I think it would be really great, especially for us hosts, to go live at some point,� Medina said. Although basic teleprompting will be used in all shows, going live will give the hosts more of a chance to ad-lib and practice important improvisational skills taught in their classes.

Still, producing a live show will take some time. The staff of “SeeYou Weekly� follows a schedule of writing, rehearsing, filming and editing to produce a broadcast every week. Having that much control is necessary for a new show and will help the adjustment process for the stillgrowing 17-person staff. “Collaborating with everyone has been the best part of this experience,� Sutton said. “This show is Cory’s baby, so we’re glad to know he trusts us with it.� While Holbrook will graduate this year, he hopes that both Ignite Media and “SeeYou Weekly� will continue to thrive. “Years from now, I want them to be well-oiled machines,� he said. “I want students to really have the opportunity to create whatever they desire, and I know these two groups can offer them that.� Although he isn’t ready yet, he also hopes to pass down the reigns once he leaves. “I don’t want to sound like a Sith Lord, but I am looking for an apprentice before I graduate,� Holbrook said.

The junior racketeer went 4-0 and was named Most Outstanding Player at the OFCC Invitatonal. BY DAN ESCALONA STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success. Tim Kopinski was merely looking for a respectable start to his junior season and the 2013-14 Illinois men’s tennis campaign. But by the middle of the afternoon on Sunday, he had put together one of his better weekends as an Illini. At the season-opening meet at the OFCC Invitational in Olympia Fields, Ill., Kopinski would go undefeated in singles play with a record of 4-0. His strong season debut allowed him to be named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. “I wasn’t really thinking about winning Most Outstanding Player at the time,� he said. “I was just focusing on my own matches and not worrying about too much else.� For Kopinski, the success he had over

the weekend was somewhat unexpected — he had not been impressed with his play in the weeks leading up to the meet. “I was not playing sharp tennis at all,� he said. “It wasn’t until a few days before, during practice, that everything started to click, and that carried pretty well into the weekend.� Much of the success Kopinski has attained throughout the weekend can be attributed to his renewed focus on a calmer, more stress-free mentality on the court. “I tend to be a very anxious tennis player, very wired and with a lot of energy,� he said. “It’s very important for me to stay calm during the match because if I do not, I make lots of uncharacteristic mistakes. Staying calm just allows me to clear my head and remain focused on the match at hand.� Kopinski also noted that his on-thecourt mentality has been inconsistent and is something he has emphasized fixing this season. These inconsistencies in his approach throughout his collegiate career, he said, have kept him from reaching his

maximum potential — evidenced by his 22-18 record in singles play last season. “It’s been very sporadic in the past; some matches I would compete with a calm mentality, and others I would play anxiously with too much emotion,� he said. “(Head coach) Brad (Dancer) has preached a lot to me on the importance of being a professional on and off the tennis court, and that definitely has made a big difference for me entering this season.� Though just one meet into the season, Kopinski has already characterized his early success as a by-product of what he has learned in his first two seasons at Illinois. “I played tennis matches over the last year and over the summer, and, win or lose, they help me figure out something new about myself,� he said. “I take all those experiences with me, and I think they helped me out a lot in this tournament.� Kopinski noted that his success was all the more important to him, especially considering the competition he and the team faced at Olympia Fields over the weekend.

Guignon expects to return this month

Illini exceeding our expectations early ELIOT SILL Sports editor

T

he Illini sit at 2-1 one quarter of the way through their season. It’s somewhat of a surprise, and we’ve established this team is clearly different than the 2012 rendition. As Illinois heads to its first of two bye weeks, now’s as good a time as any to take a look at how the team’s done so far.

Quarterbacks It seems Reilly O’Toole has been bounced from the regular offensive rotation, and that’s a good thing. Tim Beckman and Co. know that O’Toole deserves to play college football, but it doesn’t make sense for him to take away possessions from Nathan Scheelhaase, who has been on fire this season. Scheelhaase has 902 yards and eight touchdowns, and has already hit 13 different receivers. He’s also limited turnovers, with just two interceptions and no lost fumbles. He struggled with accuracy against Washington, completing just nine of 25 passes for 156 yards. The Huskies had committed extra defensive backs to cause this, and Scheelhaase hit them in the second half with designed quarterback runs. Freshman Aaron Bailey has yet to throw a pass but has been effective running in short-yardage situations. Grade: A-

Running backs Donovonn Young and Josh Ferguson haven’t performed up to expectations in the young season. Combined, they have

The Illini were without one of their top players over the weekend with the absence of junior Ross Guignon, who took last weekend off to rest with inflammation in both knees over the last few weeks. “We always had the option of having Ross compete over the weekend, but we both mutually decided that we didn’t want to take any risks with his overall health,� Dancer said. “We were not willing to possibly have him reaggravate the injury issues he has had with his knees, especially given that we have some important meets down the road.� Guignon used the weekend off from competition to continue to rest and get ready for the Illini’s next meet late this month. He said, though not at 100 percent, he expects to make his season debut in the ITA All-American meet in Tulsa, Okla. “I will definitely be playing at the next meet for us,� he said. “Certainly, I won’t be at 100 percent, and I probably won’t until the start of the spring season, but I still want to get out there and compete.�

57 rushes for 253 yards for an average of 4.4 yards per carry. Ferguson has had more success, accruing 125 yards on just 22 carries, but Young had his best game against Washington. His 58 yards don’t really stand out, but coming on 13 carries, it was his most consistent effort yet. Ferguson has supplanted Young as the go-to pass-catching back, having proven himself dangerous with seven catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Young caught his first pass of the season against Washington and was stopped for no gain. Young led the Illini in receptions in 2012. Dami Ayoola, who saw limited action in 2012, was kicked off the team after Week 1. Grade: C+

Wide receivers This position has been the lifeblood of Bill Cubit’s rejuvenated offense. Steve Hull and Miles Osei were dormant playmakers for Illinois last season. Hull’s conversion from safety has fulfilled the objective of keeping him healthy thus far and has also added another pair of hands. Osei’s conversion from quarterback has kept a supreme athlete from being buried on the depth chart and brought him to the forefront as a threat to catch and even to throw on a trick play situation as he did against Washington. Martize Barr, a junior college transfer, has been sensational for Illinois, and his 10 catches lead the team. Not to be outshined, however, is Ryan Lankford, the No. 1 receiver on a team that thrives by spreading it around. He’s proved himself to be a big play threat unlike any other on the roster. The tight ends have proven valuable as

The newest member of the Illinois men’s tennis team, junior Blake Bazarnik, opened his career with a strong showing at the OFCC Invitational in Olympia Fields, Ill., this past weekend. Bazarnik — a transfer from Vanderbilt — finished the weekend with a record of 3-1, which included three straight-set victories. “I think Blake has been on an upward path since he arrived on campus,� head coach Brad Dancer said. “This weekend was overall a very positive experience for him.� Bazarnik defeated Virginia’s Alex Schienman (6-0, 6-1) on Friday. He would go on to defeat Billy Pecor of Notre Dame (6-1, 7-5) on Saturday and Sudanwa Sitaram of Texas (6-0, 6-3) on Sunday. His only blemish of the weekend came on Saturday in a defeat to Notre Dame’s Eddy Covalschi (6-4, 7-6). Although Dancer said he was proud to see Bazarnik play well in his first match as an Illini, he still wants to see further growth and progress from the junior transfer. “We saw some positive things from him, but at the end of the day he still needs to continue on that upward path since he’s not playing at his full potential yet either,� he said.

Fantasy doctor: Welcome to wide receiver Wednesday J.J. WILSON Fantasy doctor

It’s

one of those beautiful moments. Andrew Luck drops back on 1st and 10 with minutes left in the half. The Dolphins defense pushes toward him. He looks down the right sideline and spots his target. The arm flows forward, the ball releases and fans’ hearts seem to skip a beat,

as they do on most deep passes. They use the near-four-second hang time to ask questions. Did he throw it far enough? Is the receiver in position to make a play? What about the cornerback? Does he see the ball coming? Is he going to make a play instead? These are questions even Luck might have been asking as the ball dropped from the sky toward his receiver, T.Y. Hilton. But as cornerback Brett Grimes puts his arms out to make the interception, Hilton goes airborne. With finesse, his arms

weave over Grimes’ head and his hands snatch the ball out of the air, coming down with it on Miami’s 13-yard line for a 47-yard gain. As much credit is given to quarterbacks in the NFL, we can’t forget the receivers who make terrific plays like these. Hilton was just one of many in Week 2 to be responsible for big gains in the air. He and others like him are also behind the grins and cheers of fantasy owners everywhere who, without those grabs, would have lost the week.

We go on and on about quarterbacks. Yeah, Manning and Rodgers did great again. Same story with the running backs, as Marshawn Lynch made his much-expected resurgence in fantasy this weekend. But whether you’re in a PPR league or just have two wide receiver slots to fill, we fantasy owners can’t forget the value of receivers — the ones who can make plays like Hilton’s to help us edge the competition. That’s why for this week’s starts and sits, I’m dedicating all four spots to wide receivers

— to honor some of the playmakers who rack up the big numbers and to talk you out of making mistakes with the sure-to-be duds of Week 3.

START Eddie Royal (wide receiver, Chargers) — I don’t buy that Eddie Royal is going to be the next great receiver, just like I didn’t buy into Danny Amendola last season with the Rams. That said, I do believe he’s worth picking as a flex — maybe a No. 2 receiver if you’re feeling

gutsy. In Week 2, Royal caught seven of eight targets for 90 yards and three touchdowns (27 points), but things have changed for Week 3. Malcom Floyd is doubtful with a neck injury, making Royal the most likely favorite for throwhappy Philip Rivers. He may have to share some big grabs with Antonio Gates, but expect big things to keep coming for Royal. Julian Edelman (wide receiver, Patriots) — New England’s

OK, Kelly may not be the head coach at Oregon anymore, but his offensive system, which is still utilized in Eugene, put up 59 points against Tennessee on Saturday. Kelly’s new team in Philadelphia endured an offensive explosion of its own the next day, scoring 30 points against the San Diego Chargers. Maybe Kelly’s offense can actually translate from college to the pros. Kelly’s system is a no-huddle, spread-out, fast-paced offensive attack. Although other teams utilize a two-minute offense in short-clock situations, Kelly’s offense pushes the tempo at all times. An important aspect of Kelly’s system is maximizing the usage of his playmakers. He loves quarterbacks who can throw and run at a high level, demonstrated by his quarterback at Oregon last season in Marcus Mariota. He put up stellar numbers in his freshman season, passing for 2,677 yards and 32 touchdowns to only six interceptions, while rushing for 752 yards on 7.1 yards per carry. Running back Kenjon Barner was a workhorse, rushing for 1,767 yards and 21 touchdowns. Kelly’s X-factor was running back De’Anthony Thomas, who was regularly used as a pass target in the backfield while being a threat as a returner as well. The 5-foot-9 Thomas rushed for 701 yards and had 445 yards receiving last season while scoring 18 touchdowns overall (11 rushing, five receiving, one punt return and one kick return). The weapons at Kelly’s disposal have only improved in Philadelphia. Few players in the league are a better fit for Kelly’s offense than quarterback Michael Vick. Vick fits the profile of a Kelly-based offense with quick feet and the ability to throw on the move. The 11-year veteran struggled mightily last season while being limited to only 10 games due to various injuries. Vick has already benefited from the new system, throwing four touchdowns to no interceptions in the Eagles’ first two games this season. In both contests, Vick threw for two touchdowns without an interception, a feat he accomplished once in 2012. Vick had a masterpiece of a game in a losing effort against the Chargers on Saturday, passing for a career-high 428 yards. Vick is clearly comfortable operating out of shotgun on almost every play. Shotgun formations are nothing out of the ordinary in recent years with the increase in pass-heavy offenses in the NFL, but shotguns on nearly every play is something out of a college playbook. Of course Kelly utilized Vick’s speed too, as he rushed for a score in each of the Eagles first two games. Vick

has already found his favorite targets in wide receiver DeSean Jackson and running back LeSean McCoy. The Seans have been quite the duo for the Eagles this season. Jackson has been targeted 24 times in Philadelphia’s first two games with Jeremy Maclin sitting out the season with an ACL tear. The much-maligned wideout has reeled in 16 of those targets for 148.5 yards per game, including a 193-yard explosion Sunday. McCoy’s two games so far have been vastly different from each other but nonetheless effective. McCoy was used in Philadelphia’s first game against Washington in a way similar to how Kelly utilized Barner at Oregon. McCoy carried the ball a ridiculous 31 times for 184 yards and a touchdown in a 33-27 win. McCoy rushed for just 53 yards against the Chargers on Sunday but had 114 yards receiving, replicating Thomas at Oregon. Running backs thrive in Kelly’s system, and McCoy is off to a hot start. Like at Oregon, Kelly has maximized the use of his best players on offense in Philadelphia, sacrificing touches for lesser playmakers in the process. Backup running back Bryce Brown has carried the ball just 12 times in the team’s first two games, while no wide receiver beside Jackson has been targeted more than three times in both games. Quarterback Nick Foles threw a pass in Sunday’s game only because Vick sat out a play after getting drilled. Kelly knows who his best players are and makes sure they’re involved whenever possible. The Eagles have already scored 30 points or more this season more times than all of last season. This team was so awful at offense in 2012 that the New York Jets out-scored the Eagles by one-tenth of a point per game at 17.6. If a Mark Sanchez-quarterbacked team puts up more points than you, that’s saying something. Kelly has already done an outstanding job of changing course and completely revamping what was a horrible offense last season. The players have bought into the system, and more importantly the players have executed the unconventional offense. Vick, Jackson, McCoy and Co. are more than capable of extending this type of play throughout a season. There will be bumps along the way, but the best aspect of Kelly’s offense is its ability to adjust. If a team puts eight players in the box to prevent the run, then have Vick air it out. If teams are clogging up the secondary instead, feed McCoy. Just when the Eagles offense seems vulnerable, Vick’s rushing ability will help extend plays when nothing seems available. This offense will look different week to week and preparing for that kind of variability will give defensive coordinators nightmares throughout the season.

Illinois’ Jannelle Flaws attempts to dribble around her opponents during the Illini’s 3-2 win over Indiana State at the Illini Track and Soccer stadium, on Friday.

Illini soccer relying on possession, versatility to create scoring chances BY ALEX ORTIZ STAFF WRITER

If there are two things the Illinois soccer team has focused on offensively, they have been possession and versatility. Illinois constantly refers to itself as a “possession-oriented team.” Almost without fail, once the team receives possession to start the game, opponents have found it hard to regain possession. The first 10 minutes of most games look like field-wide passing clinics. “I think we’re a technical team who likes to keep the ball ... and work with each other and get numbers around the ball,” senior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo said. When midfielders are looking for a passing lane, what they do with the ball is just as important as what their teammates do without the ball. This aspect of moving without the ball can go unnoticed, but is vitally important in the game. With a player like DiBernardo, who attracts so much attention, other players can benefit and help her attack weak spots.

If she even looks like a threat to receive the ball, multiple defenders keep an eye on her, which can open up an entire side of the field. Forwards, such as junior Jannelle Flaws, are also needed to make runs behind defenders, while staying onside to give their teammates space, time and options. Flaws has scored eight goals this season due in part to her field awareness and how she positions her body in a way to best receive a pass. “As a forward, you’re trying to either slow down the pace if we’re frantic,” Flaws said. “Or trying (to) pick it up by making runs in behind and threatening backlines.” One of the other luxuries the Illini enjoy is having so many weapons that can strike at any time. Illinois’ 28 goals in eight games have been scored by 11 different players this season. The scores have ranged from freshman defender Casey Conine jumping over opponents on set pieces to Flaws firing from outside the

box. The offense can score in any way possible. “We said coming into this season (that) one of our goals is to get seven players in the game with a shot on frame,” head coach Janet Rayfield said. “So that a team has to defend all of us, and we’ve done that almost every game of the season.” Last Sunday’s match against Florida International was an example of such versatility. Both Reagan Robishaw and Megan Pawloski came off the bench and scored two goals a piece for the 4-0 victory. Illinois also likes to crowd the box, making it difficult for opponents to cleanly clear the ball due to intense pressure. Robishaw and Pawloski scored off rebounds, and there were a number of other teammates who could have taken advantage. Finally, to have a solid offensive showing, the Illini have paid attention to the details. Everything from what side a cross comes from to which foot a player angles toward the goal on a turn

against a defender matters. “You put them in the best position to score goals,” Rayfield said. “You talk about framing the goal. You talk about where your body position is. You talk about where the serve comes from and what gives us the highest percentage ... of getting a person free in the box.” It may seem like a relatively simple formula, but the execution of it is what makes a game of such finesse so difficult. Through eight games, Illinois has executed it about as well as any team in the country as it ranks second in the nation goals scored. “Our team is a good offensive team,” Rayfield said. “And it doesn’t matter who gets to the end line and who’s making the run in the box ... and that makes us a difficult team to defend because you’re defending our team, not just a person.”

Bears’ clutch offense lifts linebacker Briggs’ spirits BY RICH CAMPBELL CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO — Lance Briggs has experienced enough disappointments, enough unrewarded defensive excellence, during his 11 seasons with the Bears to appreciate not only the team’s 2-0 start but also how it won both games. The offense has supported the defense with two fourth-quarter rallies, a novelty that has allowed the Bears to push forward under coach Marc Trestman in an uplifting environment instead of one choked by panic. “When you’re 0-2, you’re circling the wagons,” Briggs said Monday. “You’ve dug yourself into a hole and you have to salvage that season, so you have to get back to even. Being 2-0, in the history of us winning more games in the beginning, we know we give ourselves a chance of getting into those playoffs.” In mid-September, the postseason is beyond the horizon, especially with significant room for improvement evident in the first two games. But the Bears’ place alone atop the NFC North beats the alternative. Even Trestman, who was not here last year when a tiebreaker cost the Bears a playoff spot, recognizes how fortunate they are to have navigated what he described as the “extremely thin” margin for error in the NFL. “We’re two or three plays away from sitting here on the opposite side of both games, no doubt about it,” he said. The Bears don’t have to apologize, though. They earned their

two wins with enough positive plays at decisive moments. In Sunday’s 31-30 victory, the defense held the Vikings to a field goal at the 4-yard line with less than 4 minutes remaining. That positioned quarterback Jay Cutler to lead the offense 66 yards in 10 plays for the game-winning touchdown pass to tight end Martellus Bennett with 10 seconds remaining. It was a defining sequence for a team that continues to evolve under their new coach. “The identity that’s being created is ‘clutch,’” Briggs said. “When the chips are down, some Bear is going to make a play.” The Bears wouldn’t have to rely on that if they addressed a few concerns Trestman detailed after his Monday film analysis. The Bears turned the ball over four times. Trestman actually counts five, including the penalty for too many men on the field during a Vikings’ first-quarter punt. That gave the Vikings an automatic first down. Trestman lamented losing some big-play opportunities because of a lack of communication or coordination on the offensive line. Positive elements outweighed the negatives, though. Trestman praised the kickoff return unit for Devin Hester’s 249 return yards. The defense limited reigning league MVP Adrian Peterson to 3.8 yards per carry. And the Bears’ eight penalties through two games were the fifth-fewest in the NFL entering the Monday night game between the Steelers and Bengals.

Illini volleyball’s Julia Conard (2) serves the ball at the first game against the Alumni team at Huff Hall on Aug. 24.

Volleyball’s Conard shows improvement, consistency during sophomore season BY BLAKE PON STAFF WRITER

Julia Conard hasn’t started a match this year, but the sophomore defensive specialist has started to raise her level of play for the No. 16 Illinois volleyball team. Conard saw limited action on the court for the first few weeks of the season, playing in just nine of the team’s first 19 sets. She didn’t even see the floor in the Illini’s opening two games against No. 17 Florida State and Long Beach State. Now, Conard has cemented herself as a key piece on the team’s back row. In what was the toughest series of the season up to date last weekend, Conard

earned the right to play in every set against some of the nation’s top competition in the Illini Classic. Conard played a key role in all 14 sets against No. 18 Arizona State, No. 3 Washington and No. 6 Texas, the defending national champions. “I really enjoyed being out there,” Conard said. “Any chance I get, I’m just out there to make plays. ... I play better when I’m more involved, which I was, and it was just a lot of fun being able to contribute as much as I did, and I hope I can continue.” In those matches, Conard accumulated 32 of her 45 digs on the season, including a season-high 14 digs against Texas. She also recorded double-digit

digs against the Longhorns and the Huskies. Conard ranks third on the team (amongst non-liberos) in digs per set with a 1.96 average and fourth in total digs with 45, despite playing in fewer sets than those ranked above and below her. “This year (Conard) is calming down a bit more and understanding how we play a little bit more,” head coach Kevin Hambly said. “She’s doing a good job.” When asked if Conard would be trusted in more big time situations this year, Hambly affirmed that he has always had faith in her play and that she would be used whenever the team faces a potent offensive front row.

Conard saw time in 26 of 30 matches last season, making six starts. She never received consistent playing time, though, but she now looks for that to change this season. “I think there was a huge difference (in my play this year),” Conard said. “I think ‘Stuff Huff’ was when I noticed it most because I remember in my freshman year being just shaky and nervous. Coming out here in my sophomore year, I noticed a complete difference. I was having a good time, I wasn’t as nervous, I was relaxed and it was a lot more fun.”

New women’s tennis doubles team headed to Riviera tournament

Offensive line

BY ALEX ROUX

The return of Ted Karras helped, at least for a little while. Cincinnati in Week 2 was unable to bring down Scheelhaase, but four sacks in the first half alone stifled Illinois drives and put Scheelhaase out of rhythm. Considering the loss of two starters from what wasn’t thought of as a great line to begin with, it’s hard to be disappointed. Grade: C

After representing Illinois as part of a doubles tandem in the NCAA tournament last season, junior Melissa Kopinski will again represent the Orange and Blue at a prestigious invitational. This time, however, she’ll have a new doubles partner. Senior Allison Falkin will replace Rachael White, who graduated, for the Riviera/ITA Women’s All-American Championships, to play as a doubles tandem with Kopinski. They will also compete individually. Both players qualified for the same tournament last season. Kopinski and Falkin were invited back to compete in the tournament, which begins on Sept. 28 in Westwood, Calif. “It’s a very prestigious tournament,� head coach Michelle Dasso said. “They (Kopinski and Falkin) have experience under their belts, so I’m really looking forward to them getting a chance to compete.� Kopinski and Falkin also received national recognition when they were named to the preseason national rankings, which were released on Sept. 6. Kopinski is ranked as the No. 102 singles player in the nation, and Falkin is ranked 13 spots higher at No. 89. They will also compete at the Riviera/ITA Women’s All-American

Defensive line Two years removed from boasting one of the best D-lines in the land, Illinois has not pressured quarterbacks with much consistency, with just four sacks so far. Senior Tim Kynard has one of those sacks, but Houston Bates at the LEO position has been as big a force up front defensively. Grade: C-

Linebackers As a hybrid linebacker-defensive end, Bates could be mentioned among the team’s best linebackers, too. But Jonathan Brown is the unquestioned leader of this corps and of the defense as a whole. Long removed from the days of crotch-shotting Northwestern players (but not so long as for me to not mention it here), Brown has developed into a vocal and exemplary leader, and is third in the country in tackles with 38. Mason Monheim has followed Brown’s lead in his sophomore season, and is second in tackles with 30. Mike Svetina has stepped into his role nicely in what is also his second campaign. Grade: A-

BRIAN YU THE DAILY ILLINI

Illinois’ Donovonn Young (5) gets taken down by Washington’s Thomas Tutogi (50) during the game against then-No. 19 Washington at Chicago Homecoming at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday. Illinois lost 24-34. ly, and that’s not a good thing. As great a season as Scheelhaase is having, Illini opponents have more passing yards, and that’s due in part to an inexperienced secondary. Thomas, a junior, is the only member of the secondary that started in 2012. Beckman has said the secondary is improving and will continue to improve. They’ll need to use the bye week more than anyone perhaps, and hope for a good showing against Miami. Unless they’ve gotten much better by the first week of conference play, they’ll be in for it against dynamic Big Ten offenses like Nebraska and Ohio State. Grade: D+

Special teams The special teams have been up and down, characterized by none better than punter Justin DuVernois. The senior shanked his only two important punts in Week 1 against Southern Illinois, but two weeks later, Duvernois’ consistent legwork pinning Washington deep earned him conference special teams player of the week honors. A kickoff return for a touchdown in Week 1 showed promise for V’Angelo Bentley and Osei in the return game. Though there hasn’t been any similar big runbacks, Illinois has outgained opponents 367 yards to 308 on kickoff and punt returns combined. Kicker Taylor Zalewski missed what his successful play sets a standard that the younger players will strive to achieve. Although Kopinski did not refer to himself as a leader, he said that he hopes the expectations he sets for himself serve as an example for the younger players on the team to follow. Kopinski will gladly take the success he had over the weekend, yet he knows there’s a great deal of progress yet to be made. He said that he still needs to improve his serve in the weeks and

turned out to be a crucial field goal in Week 3 at Soldier Field, and Illini fans hope he can become more consistent as the year goes on. Grade: B

Overall No one believed in Beckman heading into the season. I think that tide could begin to change if Illinois keeps playing the way it has. If nothing else, Beckman can start believing in himself, and the efforts he’s put in to turning a program into a family. Bill Cubit has been everything Illini fans have hoped for and then some. The defense isn’t where it needs to be to compete for a conference crown, but the offense will keep Illinois competitive and, more importantly, keep Illini football worth watching. In a year where pundits like myself were scouring for the schedule for a second — let alone a third — win, we have to give the Illini credit. Overall, I’d say Illinois’ 2-1 record, given their opponents is worth about a B. But provided the context surrounding this team entering the season, these three games were more than Illini fans could’ve hoped for. Next quarter, we won’t be so lenient. For now though, hell yeah, Illinois football. Grade: A+

FANTASY DOCTOR house is a mess. The tight ends have fallen, Gronkowski to injury and Hernandez to the color orange. Amendola is likely weeks away from seeing the field again. Tom Brady needs someone he can trust, and who else is there but fiveyear veteran Edelman? Edelman has a history with injuries and isn’t necessarily a star, but he’s about all they’ve got. At 20 receptions for 157 yards and two touchdowns this season, he’s deadly in a PPR league. And as the Patriots offense starts to come together in Week 3, Edelman is a nice man to have at WR2.

Championships as the No. 35 ranked doubles duo in the nation. After making early singles exits, both Kopinski and Falkin said they are looking to build on their performances at last year’s Riviera tournament. “(I want) to at least make it to the main draw and see how far I can get from there,� Falkin said. On the doubles side, Kopinski and White set the bar high at last year’s Riviera tournament with a run to the quarterfinals. Kopinski hopes to emulate their performance this year with Falkin by her side. “Knowing that last year Rachael and I had a great showing in doubles, I now know what to expect,� Kopinski said. “Allison and I are looking to do some damage.� Following the prequalifying rounds at UCLA’s campus on Sept. 28 to 29, the tournament will move to Pacific Palisades, Calif., for the qualifying rounds and main draw action. Dasso is making sure Kopinski and Falkin are prepared for the competition. “I’m excited about it,� Dasso said. “We’re playing practice matches to make sure they’re sharp and ready to go.�

Nine catches for 87 yards isn’t bad, especially if he had actually gotten a touchdown. But the fact is that Peyton Manning just has too many weapons. There’s not enough love to go around. Decker’s eight points in Week 2 may have seemed to have fantasy potential for a moment, but know that those moments will only come around every now and then.
