Seeking change on Green Street Panhandlers asking for money are met with student, cop skepticism Editor’s Note: This is the first of a three-part series on panhandling within Campustown. BY ANDREW NOWAK STAFF WRITER
Kevin Love stares straight ahead as he sits hunched over outside HomeTown Pantry on Green Street, asking for change. Love said he is currently homeless and not able to afford rent because he lost his job with Bankier Apartments in Champaign in 2012. He had been living in one of the company’s apartment buildings until December 2014. Due to how Love lost his job, he was not able to receive unemployment payments. Love has been panhandling on Green Street for the past four and a half months, asking for money to rent a hotel room and buy food. “You got to have a roof over your head,� Love said. “Sleeping in under-

On Jan. 28, 2014, the Champaign County Continuum of Care conducted a survey of the county’s homeless population, both sheltered and unsheltered. The survey found 222 people in 176 households were homeless and 47 were children. Compared to the 2013 survey, which found 214 homeless in the county, the num-
Underrepresented is not often the word that comes to mind when discussing males in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM; however, the mission of the St. Elmo Brady STEM Academy is to eliminate the underrepresentation of African American boys in STEM subjects. The academy hosted its second annual science fair Saturday to exhibit what students have learned through their participation in the program. Nearly 30 students took part in the program and science fair this year, said Jerrod Henderson, lecturer in chemical and biomolecular engineering. The program not only focuses on educating young African-American boys but their fathers as well. Henderson and Ricky Greer, an academic hourly in chemical and biomolecular engineering, developed the program as a way to increase representation of African American men in STEM.
“My favorite part (of the program) is probably the science fair,� Greer said. “Seeing the kids explain their understanding of these sometimes high-end or really interesting science content.� Henderson said the program specifically targets 4th and 5th grade students to combat the growing disinterest in STEM fields that traditionally occurs at that age. The St. Elmo Brady STEM Academy is an eight-week program hosted at Booker T. Washington and Garden Hills elementary schools on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On Tuesday and Thursday, Henderson said, typically, a student from a University registered student organization leads an experiment. On Saturday, fathers and male role models are invited to help students complete the experiments. Henderson said his favorite part of the program is watching fathers engage with their children and seeing the children learn from their own father or others

The University recently established yet another collaboration with Carle Foundation Hospital. Cancer Scholars for Translational and Applied Research, or C*STAR, is a new graduate fellowship program within the Cancer Community at Illinois, which comes just weeks after the announcement of the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine. According to the program’s website, the Cancer Community “provides resources to access cancerrelated activities across campus and nucleate new programs and activities to advance cancer research progress.� Graduate students interPHOTO COURTESY OF JERROD A.

“Over the last six months or so we’ve managed to iron out all the details,� Bhargava said. He said the student program needed to be developed first. “Carle and UIUC are providing matching funds for graduate fellowships for work in cancer research,� said Rashid Bashir, head of the bioengineering department. The Cancer Community arranged the matching program with Carle so half of the costs are paid by the hospital and the other half are paid with University funds. Physician release times were also arranged with the hospital, Bhargava said, so physicians will be available every few weeks to work with students during an afternoon and devote time to the students’ research. The Cancer Community has arranged for five years of collaboration but hopes the program continues afterward. “It isn’t just a student program,� he said. “Otherwise the student would run into the same problem as they had previously: that the student is available and ready, but then there’s nobody to talk to.� According to C*STAR’s website, long-term goals of the program include building connections between University students and

GORNJA MAOCA, Bosnia-Herzegovina — One day in early February, the black flag of the Islamic State appeared on the roof of a dilapidated home in Gornja Maoca, an isolated hamlet in northern Bosnia-Herzegovina. The flag was gone when the police arrived, and whoever hoisted it was never found. But the episode reaffirmed to Bosnian officials and Western intelligence agencies that the settlement, peopled by followers of Saudi Arabia’s puritanical brand of Islam, known as Wahhabism, has ties to the networks that have recruited hundreds of Muslim men from across the Balkans to fight in Syria and Iraq. “It is fair to say that it (Gorjna MaoJONATHAN LANDAY TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE ca) is perhaps the biggest center of Mannequins dressed in Western women’s clothing on a sidewalk in Pristina, the extremism in Bosnia,� said a Western capital of Kosovo. intelligence official.

HOMELESS ber of chronic substance abusers dropped from 56 to 26, and the number of unsheltered dropped from 26 to 12. However, Skip Frost, Deputy Chief of Police for the University, said not all panhandlers are homeless. Frost said he has seen a man who stands on the median outside the Savoy Walmart panhandle for money and then drive away in his car at the end of the day. Love said a lot of panhandlers use their earnings to “drink and drug,” which can affect the donations panhandlers receive due to skepticism of the public. Achal Varma, junior in Engineering, is among the population of skeptical students. He said he doesn’t give money because he ends up seeing them in the same place every day. “You can’t hold them accountable for what they do with it, even though I feel sorry,” Varma said. Frost said while panhandling is not illegal, aggressive panhandling is illegal under Champaign City ordinance. The department receives complaints about aggressive panhandling weekly from the general public, even people just driving through town or parents reading crime alert emails, Frost said. Kerri Spear, Neighborhood Programs Manager for Champaign, said the city has worked with business owners in the campus area before to educate them on panhandling. “What we try to do is educate both the public and panhandlers on what’s appropriate and not appropriate, and then how to respond to those situations,” Spears said. Frost said the police need community assistance. He urges people to contact the police if they want to address the issue because aggressive panhandlers won’t do so in front of the police. “The problem is when the people who do panhan-

BY RICK ARMON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
AKRON, Ohio — Two University of Akron students are developing a mobile device similar to a Breathalyzer that will test the level of marijuana in one’s system. Called the Cannibuster, it could be a significant roadside tool for law enforcement as more states allow the medical and recreational use of the drug. “Marijuana is considered to be the fastest-growing industry in the United States today,” said UA biomedical engineering student Kathy Stitzlein, who came up with the idea. “We want to be on the cutting edge.” If authorities now suspect marijuana impairment in motorists, they have to rely on blood or urine tests that can take weeks for confirmation. But the Cannibuster, using saliva, will provide a reading for the level of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in a few minutes on a device that’s about the size of a smartphone. The potential market for the technology is huge. Twenty-three states, including California, Colorado and Washington, permit medical or recreational marijuana use. Proponents also have been trying to get an issue on the ballot in Ohio to legalize the drug. States have allowed marijuana use and then have

A citation for aggressive panhandling is $185, according to the city’s ordinance violation. When the police respond to calls regarding aggressive panhandling, this can lead to catching bigger issues because Frost estimates a quarter of the time the panhandlers are wanted on a city, civil or criminal warrant. Panhandlers may also be carrying drugs or alcohol in public, Frost said. Green Street has the highest concentration of panhandlers, Frost said. He said it used to be worse when the men’s shelter was at the McKinley Center at Fifth and John streets. Robert Swinford, Director of the Salvation Army’s Stepping Stone Shelter, said the main reason panhandlers go to Prospect Avenue and Green Street is because of the high volume of traffic. Panhandlers are in downtown Champaign because it
is centrally located to where all of their resources are, such as the homeless shelters and soup kitchen, Swinford said. Frost said students on campus are generous when it comes to panhandlers and assume panhandlers will use the money given to improve their lives. But Frost said that is usually not the case. “What we know is that for the most part, that’s not what that money goes for,” Frost said. “That money goes for alcohol, it goes
for drugs, it may go for any other vices that they have.” Comtois said the panhandlers all have some sort of addiction, but what it is,is hard to say. “I know for a fact one of the guys spends a lot of money on video games,” Comtois said. “If you call that an addiction, you call that an addiction. But he’s out there panhandling, and he’s got a better video game system in his hotel than I do.”
the first African-American man to earn a Ph.D. in the United States, according to the chemistry department’s website. Henderson said a photo of Brady in the Noyes Laboratory inspired him during his time at the University. Additiona l ly, Brady
taught at Greer’s alma mater, Tuskegee University, and was mentored by Booker T. Washington. The program began at Booker T. Washington Elementary. Greer and Henderson said their goal is to continue the program’s growth.
“We would love to expand to a couple other cities in the state of Illinois and maybe eventually a couple other states,” Henderson said. “So we’re just continuing to think big and move forward.”
A look at what panhandlers can and can’t do
Panhandling is when a person asks for an immediate donation from another person, regardless if the request is written, spoken or printed. Panhandling is illegal when someone is asking: Q within a 10-foot radius of an ATM Q on public transportation or at a bus stop or train station Q within 10 feet of a bus stop sign Q on private or residential property when permission
has not been given or a sign prohibits the action Q someone in a motor vehicle traveling on public property Aggressive panhandling is illegal and defined as: Q interacting with someone in a way that makes them fearful of bodily harm or that a crime may occur to their person or property Q touching someone without permission Q continuing to panhandle after someone declines Q blocking the way of someone or their vehicle SOURCE: CITY OF CHAMPAIGN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT

Cannibuster in the works Student duo developing device to test for marijuana

no way of knowing — other than using drug recognition techniques or picking up an odor — whether someone is actually impaired at the scene, Stitzlein said. “That’s a little disturbing when you think about safety on the roads,” she said. The effort, led by Stitzlein, 54, of Millersburg, and Mariam Crow, 23, of Akron, already is attracting plenty of attention — both comical and financial. The invention was mentioned on the “Conan” show last week, with TV host Conan O’Brien goofing on the possibility of a device detecting marijuana use. The Ohio Third Frontier has provided $50,000 in funding, with UA matching that amount. Stitzlein and Crow also won the LaunchTown Entrepreneurship competition last month, earning $10,000 from the Burton D. Morgan Foundation. “A lot of big inventions were actually invented by students who are younger than us,” Crow said. “The point of our team is to encourage students to create medical devices that can possibly make the market.” They hooked up through UA’s Biomedical Engineering Design Team. Stitzlein is focusing on the technology, while Crow is working on the marketing side and developing relationships with law enforcement. They still have plenty of work to do before the Cannibuster hits the road for field testing. They are conducting lab tests involving blood, urine and saliva to ensure reliable readings and will even do a controlled study with people
in the future. They hope to have a prototype device developed by December and then have law enforcement test it in the field. “Initially, we plan on this being a screening device to help them decide if they are going to do further testing,” said Stitzlein, who had returned to school after working as a mechanical engineer. “But the ultimate goal would be that we validate oral fluid as a method of testing.” Although the product is designed for law enforcement, it also could be useful for marijuana users who want to check on their condition — or even schools, hospitals and employers. Stitzlein anticipated the Cannibuster costing about $300, with a $15 microchip needed for each test. The product idea came to Stitzlein, a mother of four who worked for the family business, as she was trying to figure out a project for extra credit. It puzzled her that Colorado and Washing-
ton approved marijuana possession but there was no testing device in place for law enforcement. They hope the Cannibuster is available if or when marijuana becomes legal in Ohio. Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said a device that detects marijuana levels could be useful. “Over the years, technology has helped in the field with drinking and driving,” he said. “Technology may prove beneficial with drug recognition as well.” Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Craig Cvetan was more skeptical, saying he would expect the device to be challenged and inadmissible as evidence in court. “People are going to challenge the science, whether it’s breath testing or blood or radar,” he said. He added that marijuana — at least when it is smoked — has a distinct odor during traffic stops and is one of the easiest drugs for authorities to detect.
translation-focused faculty to the University. Although incoming students can apply to the program, Bhargava said he believes students who are already enrolled and doing research at the University will be at an advantage.
The Cancer Community is accepting applications for the graduate program until June 1. Up to six students will be accepted and notified by July 1; funding is provided to each student for up to three years. Bhargava said the appli-

Saudi Arabia searches for next step in Yemen campaign ISLAMABAD — Reports over the weekend that Houthi rebels had crossed into Saudi Arabia from Yemen and killed three Saudi border guards have renewed discussion about whether the Saudi-led coalition is looking for ways to launch a ground invasion to thwart the rebels’ advance. The refusal so far by Egypt and Pakistan, which field the Muslim world’s largest militaries, to contribute land forces to the Saudi-led military coalition has forced the kingdom to conduct the war primarily

from the air. But the aerial campaign has done little to roll back the Houthi forces, who still control the capital, Sanaa, and much of Yemen. The next step, say analysts who specialize in Middle East security, is for Saudi Arabia and its anti-Houthi allies to find a way to conduct a ground campaign. To that end, Saudi Arabia has again asked Egypt and Pakistan to contribute special forces to the next phase of the anti-Houthi operation in Yemen, which is called “Operation Restore Hope.”
Andre Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard to fly Solar Impulse 2 NANJING, China — It takes a Boeing 747 about 10 hours and 36,000 gallons of fuel to fly from eastern China to Hawaii. As soon as Tuesday, Andre Borschberg will attempt the same flight in a high-tech, sun-powered aircraft that resembles a dragonfly. He’ll do it over five days, without a drop of fuel. No one before has attempted a solar-powered flight over such a large expanse of ocean — 5,070 miles. If bad weather or other problems force him to ditch his Solar Impulse 2 plane, Borschberg will have
only his wits and a life raft to save him. Borschberg acknowledges the dangers. So does his fellow Swiss adventurer, Bertrand Piccard, who flew the single-seat plane to China in April and is slated to fly it from Hawaii to Phoenix later this month. “Yes, we are nervous. I am nervous also,” Piccard said in an interview in Nanjing. “But more than anything, we are impressed. We’re in awe of the enormous distance over water that we have to do: Andre for the first part, and me for the second part.”

Hillary Clinton returning to site of ugly 2008 primary battle LAS VEGAS — In the long, bitter campaign fight between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the rancor in Nevada matched only a few other states. The state’s 2008 Democratic caucus, scheduled early in the race to boost its influence, yielded a federal lawsuit, a fight between labor unions, charges of voter intimidation and accusations of prejudice, among other bricks that were heaved between the battling candidates and their backers — including a livid President Bill Clinton.
Fittingly, the contest ended in a split decision, with Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote and Obama claiming the most nominating delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Against that contentious backdrop, Clinton will return to Nevada on Tuesday to host the latest in a series of smallscale appearances undertaken since she announced her second presidential candidacy this month. She will also test the relations frayed by that fratricidal 2008 contest.
Two Champaign men arrested for LAR robbery DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Davon Isiah Hart, 20, and Philip Eugene Knee, 28, both of Champaign, were arrested on the charge of armed robbery Friday. According to a report from the University of Illinois Police Department, a male student was approached by three men while walking near Lincoln Avenue Residence Hall, 1005 S. Lincoln Ave., Urbana, around 9:30 p.m. One of the men displayed a handgun before demanding the student’s belongings. The report stated two men were arrested in con-
nection to Friday’s robbery, but police are still searching for the third offender. He is described as an 18to 22-year-old black male, standing at approximately 5’06” with shoulder-length black, braided hair. Hart and Knee are currently being held in the Champaign County Jail, said Patrick Wade, spokesman for the University police department. Wade said Hart was arrested at 11:08 p.m. and Knee at 11:38 p.m. Friday. Wade said neither Hart nor Knee had criminal history in Champaign County, prior to their arrests.

EDITORIAL Improvements still needed on smoking ban
T
he secondhand smoking haze continues to dissipate over the state of Illinois. Last Thursday, in a mass email, Chancellor Phyllis Wise announced upcoming changes to the current campus smoking ban in line with the passage of the Smoke-Free Campus Act. Under that Act, all state public institutions of higher education will go smokefree by July 1. And while Wise did not go into depth as to how the policy on this campus will change, the health of individuals both here and around the state stand to benefit. With all state institutions soon to be on even footing, it will be much easier for Illinois students, staff and faculty to avoid the harms of secondhand smoke while carrying out their daily activities. This campus, smoke-free since the start of 2014, has had a head start on mitigating the ill effects of environmental tobacco smoke, but there is still much that can — and hopefully will — be done as the University revises its policy. Areas such as enforcement, penalties and providing information could all be improved. Under the current policy, the University has no obligation to account for the efficacy or enforcement of the ban. Regular monitoring could ensure the smoking ban is having its intended effect, and if not, could provide the University with the information necessary to address problems to make the ban more successful. It could also keep the public aware about the successes of the ban. Creating more substantial penalty mechanisms could further deter potential violators. Presently, violators are referred to the appropriate disciplinary body, or, in the case of guests, can be asked to leave University property. Under the Smoke-Free Campus Act, Universities are given the discretion to impose, among other regulations, “disciplinary action� and “fines.� The looming threat of something along the lines of a smoking ticket could be used to make people think twice about lighting up on campus. Making information about the ban more accessible to individuals of all backgrounds will also help. For example, consider persons with non-English backgrounds; the University welcomes visitors from all over the world every single day, keeping all guests informed of the purpose and logic behind the smoking ban could prevent violations of the policy due to problems related to language barriers and create greater compliance. Continuing to provide resources for individuals interested in quitting smoking is also of vital importance. The cost of providing such resources, especially when done at no cost, may be somewhat of a burden, but in the long term, such offerings can go a long way to ensuring a healthier community. The soon-to-be statewide campus smoking ban is an effective way of ensuring people who want to smoke cigarettes can do so on off-campus areas, safeguarding people on-campus from harmful second-hand smoke. Being a campus that has had experience with these rules for more than a year, we know the changes that are necessary to ensure complete success of an on-campus smoking ban, and hopefully these are changes that the new rules will usher in.
Lazy millenials set to ruin world MATT SILICH Opinions columnist
Editor’s note: This column was written with satirical intent.
A
plague is spreading across the nation — young Americans born between 1980 and 2004, known colloquially as millennials, are coming of age and beginning to infect the world as we know it. Perhaps we should have seen this coming. Millennials have been spoiled since they were born; new technologies like the Internet and smartphones have put all the information in the world at their fingertips. Sure, the Internet has gifted the new ruling generation with the ability to connect and share ideas with the entire world in a split-second, but at what cost? Millennials may be using this wealth of newly available information to make the most educated decision possible, but think about the lessons taught by instant gratification. In the golden years of the ‘80s and ‘90s, one had to spend hours sifting through libraries and online databases to find answers to simple factual questions. Nowadays, students wondering if they can get away with microwaving aluminum foil can just run a quick Google search to avoid burning their apartment complex down. How will
our leaders of tomorrow ever learn crucial lessons about recovering from failure and pushing through adversity if they’re always making quick, informed decisions through the use of the Internet? But it’s not just in daily living that millennials have proven themselves to be far too sensible, resourceful and pragmatic for the tastes of older generations. More than anything else, millennials are threatening the business world by revolutionizing the way things have been done for decades, if not centuries. In an economy that experienced a massive collapse in 2008 largely because of ill-advised subprime mortgage dealings and financial malpractice by Wall Street banking and insurance corporations run by baby boomers, it’s clear the biggest threats to the future of the global economy are these pesky millennials. According to a censusinformed report from the White House, millennials are prioritizing creative outlets and making positive contributions to society in their careers significantly more than the two generations before them.
This new generation of workers is soft and squishy — they have no idea what it takes to run the global economy. Instead of focusing on innovation and improving the future for their children, these millennials should be more focused on making a quick buck and manipulating the economic system to work for them. Worse still, the social movements made by these whippersnappers are tearing at the very fabric that binds our society. As long as our great country has existed, women have been marginalized in the work force and dismissively pushed out of the rat race. Everything was going just fine with this precedent intact, but the millennials are getting increasingly close to ruining the precious gender balance of the business world. The same millennial report by the White House shows that women have been gradually catching up to men in average earnings and percentage of the workforce since the early ‘80s.This new generation of female millennials is the most successful and educated on record, and it threatens everything for which discriminating employers have

worked so hard. It’s not just women who are making advances in this new age of ever-increasing social acceptance. Control is even being taken away from the wiser, older generations on hot-button issues like gay marriage. The Pew Research Center’s 2010 report on the ideological differences between recent generations found that 50 percent of millennials are in favor of legalizing gay marriage, while just 36 percent disapprove of such legislature. And support for gay marriage among millennials is increasing every year — in 2013, the Washington Post and ABC News found that 81 percent of 18- to 29-year olds supported the legalization of gay marriage. At this rate, people are going to be marrying fire hydrants by 2030! We can’t possibly allow people who love each other to be married, and it’s clear that millennials’ judgement is suspect if they find this acceptable. Slowly but surely, this new, sorry generation of Americans is taking over. Some might say there’s still time for these kids to change, that only time will tell if these millennials are the cream of the crop. But if you ask me, I’d say pucker up, because this cream is sour.

Rioters within reason to protest THOMAS DOWLING Opinions columnist
If
my newsfeed is any indication, the students at the University of Illinois have been closely following the events transpiring in Baltimore, which have been referred to as the Baltimore Riots. Six police officers have been accused of placing Freddie Gray face-first on the floor of a police wagon without a seat belt, while handcuffed and shackled and ignoring his cries for medical aid. The Maryland State Medical Examiner attributed his death to the officers, who failed to restrain him in an appropriate manner. The growing controversy swirling around Freddie Gray’s untimely death has sparked violent protests as well as passionate debate about police conduct. Gray’s death has only exacerbated the tensions that emerged after Ferguson. Michael Chew, freshman in LAS, sums up what seems to be student sentiment very well. He believes the Baltimore Police Department is at fault and, “the police officers deserve to be convicted for the murder.� But he continued by saying, “I do believe the protesters
are going about it the wrong way. Resorting to violence just perpetuates the gap of understanding between the police and the African-American community.� This sort of criticism seems to be popularly accepted. However, some national pundits have gone further, dismissing the rioters grievances as destructive entitlement. For example, Bill O’Reilly, Fox News host, said, “The rioters are angry because America is a country of mass incarceration. People who burn down buildings and loot are just misdirected folks who feel hopeless.� It is easy to dismiss the actions of the Baltimore rioters as random hooliganism. But when the riots are placed in context, their motivations are not only understandable, but rational. Let’s start by taking a look at the numbers. Since 2011, the city of Baltimore has paid over $5.7 million in police brutality settlements, and 317 Baltimoreans
have brought civil cases against the Baltimore Police Department — over 100 have won. Many of these apprehensions lacked probable cause that would warrant police intervention, which Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby made clear. In her recent press conference, she declared that the police had, “failed to establish probable cause for Mr. Gray’s arrest, as no crime had been committed by Mr. Gray. Accordingly, Lieutenant Rice, Officer Miller and Officer Nero illegally arrested Mr. Gray.� Gray’s case is not unique. The Baltimore Sun recently launched an investigation of Baltimore Police Department misconduct and some of their findings are horrifying. Take the case of Venus Green, an 87-year-old grandmother. After her grandson was shot in the leg, Green called 911 for assistance. When the police arrived, she was interrogated, blamed

for the shooting, and then slammed against her own dining room table. Her shoulder was broken. Starr Brown, a 26-yearold pregnant woman, had a strikingly similar experience. After asking a police officer to chase after a group of 20 girls who had attacked two pedestrians, an argument broke out between the responding officers and Brown. The disagreement culminated with the officers throwing Brown to the ground and putting her into a chokehold. What is even more concerning is how the Baltimore Police Department deals with adjudicated cases. After settlements are paid out, recipients are prohibited from talking about their case on the record. You cannot expect a police force to be monitored effectively if the victims are not allowed to speak out. These cases are why Baltimoreans are fighting. Police violence begets civilian violence. As noted by civil rights activist DeRay McKesson, the smashed windows can be replaced; the smashed spine of Freddie Gray cannot.

MELANOMA ing how advanced the cancer was. She said she later learned it was Clark’s Stage 3, meaning the melanoma reached the inner layer of her skin. In the weeks leading up to her surgery, Johnson said there were a lot of sleepless nights. But after the surgery was a success, she said she had the best sleep of her entire life. The surgery lasted three hours, and the surgeon cut out layers of skin down to her muscle. When she woke up, she had over 35 stitches. She also had a sentinel lymph node biopsy, where they removed two lymph nodes from her groin area. It took Johnson about a month to walk on her leg again. While she recovered, she passed the time by creating her family tree, which she traced back to 1790s Scotland on her mother’s side. As a history major, she said she hopes to work in genealogy, in a museum or historical society. Alvarez said it was important for him to keep Johnson positive. He would tell her, “You’re going to beat the odds anyway.� Johnson is now in remission with her melanoma at stage zero. “That basically means I’m cancer free but my chances of getting it again are really high,� she explained.

Johnson sees the dermatologist every three months, who requires her to wear a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30, and visits the oncologist every six months. She said the experience has changed her lifestyle. “My dermatologist said if you’re going to be out directly in sunlight, it’s not a good idea,� she said. “I love being outside.� Johnson said it also has been difficult coming to terms with the scar on her leg. “When I was younger I was always tall and had long legs, so the hardest thing for me was seeing this giant scar on my leg and realizing I was going to have to stare at this for the rest of my life,� she said. Johnson said she was shocked when she learned she had skin cancer because there was no genetic link in her family. However, she said she often tanned outside without sunscreen and beginning at 16, she used tanning beds occasionally before high school dances. She stopped using tanning beds when she was 20. “I don’t want to be that harsh and say, ‘No, you shouldn’t tan because I had skin cancer,’� she said, “But I do want people to know how common it is.� *** According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more people have had skin cancer than any cancers combined over the past three decades.
In addition, when examining cases of skin cancer in people ages 18 to 29, 76 percent of the cases were attributed to using tanning beds. “Just go see the dermatologist once a year; have them check your body,� she said. “If anything changes, get it checked out, get it removed, get a biopsy done on it. Just for your own peace of mind,� Moving forward, Johnson said she hopes to raise skin cancer awareness. She recently contacted the Melanoma Research Foundation, which holds “Miles for Melanoma� 5K runs and walks to raise money for research. She said she would either run in one this summer in Chicago or try to organize her own in Champaign. In addition, Johnson said she wants to bring positivity to others with skin cancer. “I just try to give words of encouragement if I see it anywhere because I know how that feels,� she said. “It’s the worst feeling in the whole world to not know what stage it’s in and know if it’s curable.� After she graduates in the fall, Johnson plans to move down to Florida, which she said is weird because of her experience with skin cancer. But she loves the beach and has to keep living her life, just with a few extra precautions. “SPF 100 — I actually found a bottle! I’ll do that, and wear hats.�
But why Kickstarter? Luke Bergkoetter, one of the two drummers of Marathon, said it is the modern way of funding a record, where the music industry today has made it impossible for bands to produce an album without the help of crowdfunding. “If we had written and recorded this exact same record in 1996, we wouldn’t have had a single problem getting it pressed with-
out crowd sourcing it, and that’s because people bought records,� said Bergkoetter. “Because of the fidelity of vinyl, the cost of releasing (an album on vinyl) is really expensive. On our Kickstarter, we break down where the money is going and the bulk of it is pressing vinyl, and that’s the best way to listen to music.�

Unique Chicago shop preserves art of tailoring BY ALEXIA ELEJALDE-RUIZ TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
From the hidden whiskey cabinet that reveals itself with the push of a button, to the secret doors disguised to look like bookcases, custom men’s clothier Oliver & Rowan Bespoke aspires to a debonair ambience. There is, by design, little to suggest that the unmarked loft, above a hair salon in the West Loop, in Chicago, deals in clothing. Most of the apparel is tucked away in an armoire beside the pool table and telescope, in a corner where owner Joseph Mapes plans to install a 250-cigar humidor. But Oliver & Rowan, which opened in October, has clothing top of mind. Mapes, a third-generation tailor, launched the business to celebrate a dwindling art in the increasingly crowded field of custom suiting. “I wanted to get back to American-made and I wanted to get back to fully bespoke,� Mapes said. Bespoke traditionally means that a tailor has consulted with and measured a client then creates a unique pattern based on his measurements and hand-cuts and hand-sews the suit to the customer’s specifications, with multiple fittings and many hours put in to ensure it lays perfectly. The paper pattern is then stored under the customer’s name like a fingerprint for creating future suits. A bespoke suit jacket has a canvas shell hand-basted in between the outer fabric and the lining, as opposed
to being fused with an adhesive. Some purists say the whole process should be executed by the same tailor or at the same shop to be truly bespoke. Mapes wants Oliver & Rowan Bespoke to help restore the term to its rightful supremacy — though some purists might quibble with his interpretation, too. Mapes, whose family’s tailoring history dates to his great-grandfather in Wales, said he takes as many as 50 measurements from his clients and hand-drafts their pattern with a master cutter. He then works closely with a small family-run tailor shop in the U.S. that cuts the pattern and makes the suits by hand. He and the two tailors he employs at his Chicago showroom conduct the final fittings and alterations. It takes four or five visits with a client and seven to eight weeks to turn around a garment, Mapes said. His suits start at $1,895, but most cost about $3,000, based on fabric. Bryan Gage bought three suits and three dress shirts from Oliver & Rowan in October, having been referred by a colleague. Gage, an information technology recruiter who has to wear a suit for work every day, said his athletic build, with a 30-inch waist and broad shoulders, makes it hard to fit into off-the-rack suits, which bunch up and don’t drape on him properly. Gage said he paid about $4,500 for the custom package, slightly more than he would pay for off-the-rack
suits at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue or Trunk Club. But they fit better than anything he has owned before, he said. Like at Trunk Club, which selects clothes for customers that they can keep or reject, Gage enjoyed having Mapes guide him. “Honestly, I hate shopping,� he said. “I like to do a one-stop shop.� To keep a high level of personalized service, Mapes said he is keeping his client base exclusive, and adds people only on referral. His website does not list a phone number or email address, and to send a message through the contact form you have to enter the name of an existing client. He has 200 clients, who buy from him an average of three times a year, and he plans to cap it at 300. Clients who spend at least $15,000 annually with Mapes become members of the Bespoke Club, which offers a number of perks, including the option to reserve the Oliver & Rowan space for parties. Through the secret bookcase-doors, lined with bourbons and old books bought at thrift stores, is a kitchen that offers local beer on tap and a living room with a big-screen TV and deck. Upstairs, where Mapes has his office loft and another large deck with a fire pit, Mapes plans to install a Murphy-type bed for clients who need to spend the night. “I want this place to be almost like a second home,� Mapes said.

Moving past melanoma Student survivor discusses her path to recovery, raises skin cancer awareness BY ANNABETH CARLSON ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
In
PORTRAIT BY JASMINE DINH THE DAILY ILLINI
Skin cancer survivor, Kaitlin Johnson, proudly presents her surgical scar and melanoma awareness tattoo in recognition of Melanoma Monday.
October, Kaitlin Johnson got a tattoo. She stood patiently as the tattoo artist inked delicate orange and blue flowers connected by a green vine around her leg. The needle hurt, of course, but she was tough. After all, it wasn’t the first time she had felt pain. Two hours later, the artist added the fi nishing touch: a cancer ribbon. Johnson’s tattoo sits between two scars on her leg, the fi rst where she got lymph nodes removed from her groin and the second a U-shaped scar where she had skin cancer. Looking down at her leg, the ink signified the end of her pain. She fi nally had a scar that was on her own terms. *** In honor of Melanoma Monday, a national commemorative day for skin cancer, Johnson shared her story in hopes of raising awareness. Until last summer, the only mark on her leg was a small mole, not even the size of a pencil eraser. When Johnson’s mother fi rst noticed it, she asked if there was a bug on her leg. Johnson, a senior in LAS, said she noticed the mole 10 months prior but thought nothing of it. However, when her mother expressed concern, she made an appointment at Carle Foundation Hospital right away. The mole was removed July 11. Johnson had two stitches, and the doctors told her to come back in a week to remove the stitches and get the biopsy results. But when she returned to Carle, they informed her they sent her biopsy to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to rule out melanoma.
Johnson said the doctors ensured her it was probably nothing to worry about, but she had a bad feeling. “I felt like if they sent it to another lab, then maybe something is wrong,” she said. It was July 30 when Johnson received a call from Carle while working at the Prairie Center in Urbana. “I don’t get off work until 8, and I knew if they were calling me that late, something had to be wrong,” Johnson said. “It was confi rmed melanoma, and I just kind of blanked out. I couldn’t stop crying. I don’t know how I drove home.” Johnson found out she had skin cancer the night before she was supposed to move out of her apartment on campus. She lives with her boyfriend Chris Alvarez, Class of 2013 University alumnus, and when she walked in, he was packing up their stuff. After she told him, she had Alvarez call her parents to share the news. “There can be few moments in your life that can be more devastating than when you are told that your child’s biopsy came back malignant,” said Ronnie Johnson, Johnson’s father. “It was shock.” Johnson went to her fi rst skin cancer consultation August 4. She met with a dermatologist and an oncologist and learned that her surgery to remove the melanoma would be in only two weeks, on August 14. It would be her fi rst surgery. “I was glad it was so soon because it didn’t give me enough time to process what was going on,” she said. Johnson explained that the scariest part was not know-

Local band raises funds to create record BY FRANCES WELCH STAFF WRITER
At 13, Brandon Beachum discovered the realms of punk rock, a genre that would later mold his musical palette into writing a unique composition: a 35-minutelong piece consisting of six guitar players, one bassist and two drummers. Growing up in Herrin, Illinois, Beachum said he wanted to be “anti-everything,” riding BMX and skateboarding, exploring new bands that were fulfilling teenage angst, the likes of the Misfits and NOFX. The speed and aggression of punk music appealed to Beachum, immersing himself within the ethic behind punk music, a DIY community, one that followed their
own rules outside of an institutionalized lifestyle. Beachum was involved in several bands that would come and go, gathering a collection of sounds and ideas from each band he was a part of. He began to play with distortion and other sounds that could be created with special equipment, tweaking his style of bass playing along the way. While living in southern Illinois, Beachum created Marathon, a solo project that started out completely improvised with a heavy emphasis on effects. Beachum, however, said he spent more time on knobs and guitar pedals than he did actually playing guitar. In 2010, he moved to Champaign-Urbana, a time
when Marathon was put on the back burner until he was getting ready to leave about two years ago. He knew he wanted to reinvent his project and turn it into something more structured, less improvised. Now, Marathon is a 9-piece “guitarkestra,” as Beachum calls it, an ensemble that will be putting out their first record later this year. The record will consist of a 35-minute track, an experience that the band hopes will take the listener through the ebb and flow of Marathon’s musical journey. The band will be pressing this record to vinyl, an expensive manufacturing process that heightens the listening experience but
impossible without the support of funding. To do so, the band and local label, Heirship Records, have started a Kickstarter; a funding process that has 48 hours left and is about $2,000 away from their goal. “I’m terribly anxious to get this record out, but more than that, I’ve seen it. It’s a performance; there’s a certain amount of improvisation involved, every time I’ve seen it, it’s been slightly different and has been pretty mind blowing,” said Isaac Arms, label head of Heirship Records. “It’s a unique charge to capture lightning in a bottle like that. It’s exciting to listen to, and what I have heard is really amazing. “ Arms felt that it was a necessity to have this record

Illinois’ Casey Fletcher slides into second base against Indiana at Illinois Field on Apr. 17. Illinois’ swept Ohio State in three
Win streak increases to 21 BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER
The Ohio State baseball team presented Illinois with its toughest competition yet during its winning streak. But the Illini battled through the obstacles the Buckeyes presented to sweep their conference foe in Columbus, Ohio, and extended their nation-leading win streak to 21 games. “We’re winning in different phases of the game. Everything’s clicking,� outfielder Casey Fletcher said. “It seems like every game someone is just stepping up and helping us to keep up the winning.� Illinois was forced to rally from a two-run deficit early in Sunday’s game. First baseman David Kerian led the comeback with a leadoff home run in the third. The team took the lead in the top of the fourth when Kerian drove a single up the middle to score Fletcher and Jason Goldstein, giving the Illini a 3-2 lead. They added three
more runs in the sixth to put the game away for good. Starting pitcher John Kravetz got into some trouble early in the game. He allowed two runs in the first two innings but managed to escape the third and fourth without allowing a run. The senior was struggling, and with no midweek game left on the schedule this season, head coach Dan Hartleb elected to go with regular midweek starting pitcher Rob McDonnell at the start of the fifth. The left-hander held the Buckeyes scoreless for four innings and closer Tyler Jay came in the ninth to secure the win and the streak. “Everyone knew what we had to do,� Kerian said. “I just got out there and made sure to get the key at-bats.� The Illini were led Friday by starting pitcher Kevin Duchene’s strong performance. The Illini ace threw eight innings and only gave up one run on three hits. Ohio State’s first hit was a single
in the fourth and the Buckeyes tacked on two more in the fifth, but the junior shut the side down in order in six of his eight innings. With Friday’s win, Duchene improved to 8-1 on the season and 21-3 in his career. Everyone in the Illinois’ starting lineup had a hit. Illinois scored four runs in the first two innings and plated an additional four in the sixth. The eight runs allowed was a career-high for Ohio State’s Tanner Tully. Left fielder Ryan Nagle led the way hitting 2-for-5 with three RBIs. Saturday’s tilt was much closer, and the Illini barely escaped with their streak intact. The team overcame two deficits and scored all of its runs in two innings to bring its streak to the 20-win mark. Illinois pitcher Drasen Johnson fell behind early and gave up two runs in the first two innings Saturday. The Illini grabbed a 3-2 lead in the fifth on an Adam Wal-

With the Big Ten Outdoor Championships less than two weeks away, little time remains for the Illinois men’s track and field team to sharpen its skills. Despite the fact that there was no team competition or silverware on the line, the Illini had yet another solid showing Saturday in Iowa City, Iowa, at the Musco Twilight. “We had really well-rounded performances from everyone across the board,� said head coach Mike Turk. “We weren’t really looking for a huge team performance, because this (meet) is more about cleaning some things up to get ready for (Big Ten Outdoor Championships).� Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa State and Northern Iowa rounded out the field. The Illini competed in 13 of 19 events. Two members of the team had their names etched in the Illinois record book Saturday. Senior DJ Zahn won the 200 meter with a time of 20.53 seconds, replacing the time set by Anthony Jones in 1994.

Women’s track wins seven titles in Indiana BY ZOE KALER STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s track and field team wrapped up its regular season Saturday in West Lafayette, Indiana, at the Rankin/Poehlein Invitational, hosted by Purdue. The Illini picked up seven event titles and 23 top-10 finishes. Last week, distance coach Scott Jones predicted that the team would see a lot of personal-bests in West Lafayette. “I think we saw this weekend what happens when people have worked consistently well, and we get good weather and good competition,� Jones said, “Those things all came into play so that made that predictability of good performance a pretty safe one for me.� Jones said he thought Kandie Bloch-Jones and Alyssa Schneider’s performances were “pretty significant.� Bloch-Jones won the high jump, clearing a personal best of 1.84 meters. She is now tied for second on Illinois’ top-10 list. The sophomore attributed her success to her calm demeanor going into the meet. She said since it was
a smaller meet, she expected to do well, but she did not expect to win or leave with a new personal-best. Schneider also placed first and set a personal record, running the 1,500 meters in 4 minutes 20 seconds. The senior, a 5K and 10K runner, said the 1,500 is what she usually focuses on. In preparation for the Big Ten Outdoor Championships, coming up on May 15-17, Schneider said the team will continue to train the same way it has in the last few weeks, while also focusing on individual recovery. “It’s not really about trying to get in shape as it is trying to run fast in two weeks,� Schneider said. Other top finishes for the Illini included four top-10 finishes in the 800 meters. Sophomore Nicole Choquette finished first and set a personal best of 2:06, placing her seventh on Illinois’ all-time list. Senior Amanda Duvendack finished second at 2:07. Senior Chloe Schmidt ran a 2:12.28, placing her fifth and sophomore Lindsey Rakosnik finished just after

The Illinois softball team wrapped up its regular season in Lincoln, Nebraska, with a loss to the Cornhuskers in a game that ended after five innings. After losing its first series since March 22, Illinois (2626, 14-9 Big Ten) finished in fifth place in the Big Ten. The team was in fourth behind Nebraska (32-20, 17-6 Big Ten) entering the weekend. After splitting the first two games of the series, head coach Terri Sullivan’s team dug itself too deep in a hole early in Sunday’s rubber match. Illinois’ offense struggled, scoring only one run on three hits. It was the first time that the team only scored one run since an 11-1 loss to Minnesota on March 21. A 30-minute weather delay was issued in the third inning due to lighting. Sullivan said the halt seemed like it could of been a potential reset button for her struggling team. “We were in a position to make a run after the rain delay,� Sullivan said. “But didn’t push a few more runs across soon enough.� A potential two-out rally for Illinois was cut off in the third inning when freshman Carly Thomas flew out to left field with runners on second and third. The Cornhuskers were up 8-1 by the end of the inning. Starting pitcher Shelese Arnold had a rough start to the game. The senior only pitched 1 1/3 inning and gave up seven runs on three hits and six walks. Walking too many batsmen allowed Nebraska to build on its big lead. Sullivan said the team was solid defensively and credited sophomore Breanna Wonderly for pitching well when she came in to relieve Arnold. Wonderly gave up one run in 3 1/3 innings. It was her second effective relief appearance in a row, giving the Illini a strong option out off the bullpen. The Illini will head into the Big Ten tournament as the

The team would have received a first-round bye with a victory in the rubber match. Instead Illinois will face No. 12 seed Purdue on Thursday in the tournament’s opening game. If the Illini beat the Boilermakers, they would face No. 4 seed Northwestern on Friday and if they knock off the Wildcats, a semifinal matchup with No. 1 seed Michigan would loom Saturday. Ohio State is hosting the Big Ten Tournament. Finishing the season at .500 did not look likely for the Illini after an 8-16 start. One of the team’s new goals is to reach the NCAA Tournament. “Getting back to .500 is a huge accomplishment for this team,� said junior Allie Bauch. “We said we wanted to turn our season around, and we definitely did.� Their fifth-place finish in the Big Ten is the best finish

problems he experienced leading up to the throw. “I struggled all day with the technical things,” Fraker said. “I got so frustrated right before my last throw I just decided that I was going to throw far, and if I fouled, so be it. It turned out to be a pretty good throw.” Turk was more than pleased with both of his seniors, and marveled at the separate journeys each had to take to become leaders on the team. “For DJ, it’s been a slow and steady progress over a long time, whereas Davis started out as a freshman on a high level and is now on this meteoric rise,” Turk said. “It’s been a very different situation for both of those guys, but it’s been really fun to watch and experience.” Junior Cam Viney and sophomore David Kendziera competed in the 100-meter hurdles and finished second and third, respectively.

Top 3 Derby rivals prepare for Preakness BY CHILDS WALKER TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Baltimore could be set to host a blockbuster sequel with Kentucky Derby champion American Pharoah and top rivals Firing Line and Dortmund all pointed toward the May 16 Preakness. In recent years, the Preakness has become the neglected middle child of the Triple Crown slate, with many trainers of top contenders opting not to take their horses to Pimlico Race Course to challenge the Derby champion. Instead, they’ve waited and brought fresh horses to the Belmont Stakes. But that dynamic could change in 2015 with the burgeoning rivalry between a trio of California horses that dominated Saturday’s 141st running of the Derby. It’s a story full of rich plots, from the intra-barn competition between American Pharoah and Dortmund — both trained by Bob Baffert — to
Firing Line’s ongoing quest to finish first against Baffert’s stars. “I think it’s what the game’s all about, really,” said Firing Line’s trainer, Simon Callaghan. “This is what people love to see in the sport, and us, as racing fans, we love to see it, as well. So, I think it’ll be a great thing.” The last time the top three Derby finishers ran in the Preakness was 2009. Baffert was pleased with the way American Pharoah and Dortmund bounced back the morning after the Derby. Callaghan seemed equally confident in his horse’s resilience. “You better get used to this,” Baffert said to American Pharoah as he led the champion to pose for a cluster of photographers and to accept pats on the head from early-rising fans. Baffert said American Pharoah struggled initially with the crush of admirers as he walked from his barn to the paddock before the
Derby. His horse was rattled enough that the experience might have sapped some of his energy for the race. “He lost it a little bit,” Baffert said. “Something set him off, and he drug the groom right from the moment they started walking. ... I think it took a little out of him, the walk up there yesterday.” As well as American Pharoah ran against the best competition he’d faced, he also had to grind in a way he never had, with jockey Victor Espinoza hitting him repeatedly down the stretch. The bay colt displayed his toughness as much as the brilliant speed that had onlookers raving in the weeks before the Derby. Baffert celebrated the victory with dinner at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse, his son, Bode’s, favorite, and then watched the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight with the family of American Pharoah’s owner, Ahmed Zayat. The Hall of Fame train-

He’ll discuss the towering chestnut’s future with owner Kaleem Shah. “I’m sure he’s going to want a little revenge,” Baffert said. “His horse ran a really good race.” Another factor looming for Preakness is the recent civil unrest in Baltimore, but the connections of the top three Derby finishers expressed no reservations about making the trip.
“People settle down, and things get worked out,” said Baffert, who lived and trained through the 1992 riots in Los Angeles. “Life still goes on.” Maryland Jockey Club general manager Sal Sinatra said he doesn’t expect changes to be made to the Preakness schedule because of the protests. “We’re going to go there and try to win,” said Firing Line’s owner, Arnold Zetcher, former CEO of the women’s clothing brand Talbots. “It’s the Triple Crown, and
it’s exciting.” Though Firing Line twice finished behind Dortmund in prep races, Callaghan believes his horse and American Pharoah are the two best 3-year-olds. With Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens aboard, Firing Line pushed the prerace favorite all the way to the wire, losing by less than a length. “He definitely showed us it’s going to be really close,” Callaghan said of his colt. “I don’t think anyone can confidently say they’re by far the best.”
Penn State’s Amos, James drafted in NFL’s 5th round BY DEREK LEVARSE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
They had originally hoped to get the phone call a day earlier than this. But both Adrian Amos and Jesse James were happy enough how things worked out. The two Penn State standouts were ultimately selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft on Saturday, with Amos going to the Chicago Bears and James to his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers. Amos, a safety, was drafted with the sixth pick of the round (142nd overall) with James, a tight end, following him with the 24th pick (160th overall).
For James, if he had to be selected on the final day, things couldn’t have worked out much better. The Western Pennsylvania native grew up a Steelers fan and excitedly took the phone call from Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin. “I couldn’t be happier,” James said on a conference call. “I think it’s a great fit. Being from Pittsburgh, I’m happy to go there. I couldn’t be more excited to get there and get to work.” Like his good friend and former teammate Donovan Smith, Amos ended a draft drought at his position for Penn State. Amos became the first
Nittany Lions defensive back to be selected in seven years, following Justin King, who went in the fourth round in 2008. “After graduating with his degree and now hearing his name called in the NFL Draft, I could not be happier for Adrian,” Penn State coach James Franklin said in a statement. “Adrian is a versatile defensive back that has worked really hard and will be a great addition to the Bears secondary.” That versatility was on display right away at Penn State, where he saw significant snaps at cornerback as a true freshman for Joe Paterno.
His next coach, Bill O’Brien, played him at corner in all of 2012. O’Brien and his successor, Franklin, both preferred Amos at safety, believing that’s where his pro future lied. Defensive coordinator Bob Shoop, who works directly with the safeties, credited Amos’ ability to play anywhere in the secondary as being a huge boost to his scheme in 2014. “Chicago is getting someone who is going to work hard and be a special player for years to come. As good of a player as Adrian is, he is an even better person. He will represent the Penn State community very well.”

Dolphins’ draft causes stir amongst fans BY HAL HABIB TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
If the fi rst day of the NFL draft has pitfalls, the second day is even more risky and the third can be a crapshoot. Saturday, the Dolphins fi red shots in every direction, completing a sevenman 2015 draft class that offers promise (an optimist’s view) or problems (a pessimist’s view), revolving around questions about the health of some and choices made by others. The sexiest of Saturday’s five selections is Jay Ajayi, a running back from Boise State taken with the second of four picks in Round 5. The Dolphins were lured by his 3,796 rushing yards, 55 touchdowns and 5.6 average. Why was he available at Pick No. 149? A torn ACL in 2011, which, according to ESPN, caused him to flunk some NFL physicals because he runs with bone-on-bone. He was also arrested in 2011 for stealing sweatpants at a WalMart — a poor off-fi eld decision that is not unique among this draft class. But this time of year is about nothing if not optimism. When it was over, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was smiling as he walked out of the complex and into the afternoon sunshine. “I feel good,” Ross said. “We fi lled a lot of needs today. I think we did all right, overall.” Last year’s draft class — the fi rst under general manager Dennis Hickey — featured five players from small colleges. Mike Tannenbaum, in his fi rst draft as the Executive Vice Presi-
dent of Football Operations, prefers talent from large schools. Coincidentally or otherwise, none of Miami’s 2015 picks came from the Marists of the world. But many arrive with asterisks that explain why the Dolphins were able to obtain potential bargains. There are legal blemishes in the distant past of Ajayi and guard Jamil Douglas, a fourth-rounder from Arizona State. There are injuries on the resumes of not just Ajayi, but second-rounder Jordan Phillips and fi fth-rounder Bobby McCain, a cornerback from Memphis. There are questions about the best position on the pro level for Douglas and fi fth-rounder Tony Lippett of Michigan State. Just as Hickey said the small-school trend happened last year by happenstance, he said there was no concerted effort this year to take fl iers on prospects. “We judge each player on an individual basis,” Hickey said. “With extensive research.” Hickey said the Dolphins’ medical team gave the OK on Ajayi, Phillips (back surgery) and McCain (knee). And Hickey and his evaluation team praised the draft class as being a “high-character” group that loves the game. After spending their fi rst-round pick on Louisville receiver DeVante Parker, the Dolphins sought more pizzazz with Ajayi. “One thing the Miami Dolphins needed more than anything in the run game is somebody who would stick it up in there,” ESPN analyst Bill Polian said. “He will do that.”

Boise State running back Jay Ajayi breaks loose for a 56-yard touchdown run during the first quarter against Arizona in the Vizio Fiesta Bowl at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Dec. 31. Boise State won, 38-30. Perhaps. Fellow analyst Adam Schefter then reported, “He flunked some physicals. There’s bone on bone, according to some of the doctors. There are questions about how long he will last in this league.” Not in Ajayi’s mind. “I know at this moment I am extremely healthy,” he said, adding that he intends to carry not just a football, but a chip on his shoulder. Douglas was caught helping a teammate steal an Xbox and other electronics from a teammate’s room
at Arizona State. “I was 17-18 years old, so it was defi nitely a learning lesson then in my life,” Douglas said. “It was something that helped change my career around because after that I was able to come back and put things into perspective for myself and have the right priorities.” Douglas’s draft bio on NFL.com lists him as a “left guard-only prospect.” That’s where the Dolphins see him, although Hickey called him “versatile.”
No one exemplified versatility better than Lippett. The league lists him as a receiver. That’s where he saw himself entering the draft, even though he started at cornerback and receiver for the Spartans. Lippett led the Big Ten in receiving with 92.2 yards per game and 1,198 total. Illustration of his versatility came during his conference call with the South Florida media, when he was asked who would win if he had to cover himself. Not wanting to insult him-
self, he said it would be a toss-up. Hickey settled matters by saying the Dolphins envision Lippett in the secondary, meaning Miami added three players on offense and four on defense, although none at linebacker. “We do like our linebackers,” Hickey said. A nd not just the linebackers. “We feel like it’s a talented roster,” Hickey said. “We really feel like we’re building a quality team.”

Stephen Curry to be named NBA’s Most Valuable Player
ADAM CAIRNS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Ohio State Buckeyes running back Carlos Hyde rumbles into the end zone through Purdue Boilermakers safety Landon Feichter during a game at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 20, 2012. Feichter signed with the Cleveland Browns Sunday.
Boilermakers’ safety Feichter nabs spot in Browns’ camp Landon Feichter will get his NFL chance, and if the odds aren’t in his favor, well, what’s new? Feichter was a hard-hitting walk-on long-shot at Purdue and he turned it into a very productive college career as a safety, twice leading the Boilermakers in tackles and interceptions. Now, he’s invited to a tryout at the Cleveland Browns’ upcoming mini-camp. Nothing is guaranteed, but the former Bishop Dwenger standout will have a chance
to make a big enough impression to get a crack at July’s preseason camp, where he would get a chance to make a big enough impression to make the team. How good are his chances? The 6-foot, 191-pound Feichter led Purdue in tackles last season, with 105, and in interceptions, with five. He defended eight passes, broke up three, forced one fumble and recovered another. And he made a good impression with NFL scouts at the Boilers’ Pro Day by running a 4.44-second 40-yard dash. He plays hard, fearless and smart. He’s passionate about the game. Cleveland drafted 12 players overall, the most of any NFL team.
OAK LAND, Calif. — Adding one more piece to a dream season for the franchise, Warriors guard Stephen Curry will be named NBA Most Valuable Player this week, according to CSN Bay Area and multiple reports. Curry could be given the award as soon as Monday — an off-day for the Warriors during their second-round series against Memphis — and then there would be a
pre-game ceremony before Game 2 on Tuesday. Curry will be the Warriors’ fi rst MVP since the team moved from Philadelphia more than a halfcentury ago and the fi rst in the history of the franchise since Wilt Chamberlain in 1960. Asked Sunday about the possibility of winning the award, Curry said he was mostly focused on the Warriors’ playoff run — the team won Game 1 against Memphis on Sunday. “Obviously I know what the situation is, and just trying to focus on the game, and if I get a call tomorrow, I’ll defi nitely be happy,” Curry said.

The uncertainty placed an unusually large onus on a training staff that Paul has routinely described as the best in the NBA. “I said it before, our training staff is amazing, the amount of people that we have day in and day out trying to make sure that we’re ready to play,” Paul said Saturday night after banking in an improbable running jumper over the Spurs’ Tim Duncan with one second left for the final points in a game that featured 31 lead changes and 16 ties.
McIlroy lands 17th professional title with California win BY CARL STEWARD TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SAN FRANCISCO — Already fi rmly established as the world’s best golfer, Rory McIlroy achieved a rare feat in winning his 17th professional title Sunday, a day before his 26th birthday. McIlroy captured the WGC-Cadillac Match Play at TPC Harding Park, his fi rst victory in California, by winning three matches in one day to pocket the $1.57 million winner’s check. He earned it. McIlroy had to tee off at 6:45 a.m. to complete his suspended quarterfi nal match against England’s Paul Casey, which he won with a birdie at the first hole (and 22nd of the match). He followed that with a late rally to nip the world’s fifth-ranked player, American Jim Furyk, one up with an electric fi nal two holes — a birdie on the long par-3 17th and a clinching 44-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th. Finally, in the championship match, McIlroy dis-
patched another American, 52nd-ranked Gary Woodland, by rolling out to a fourhole lead on the front nine and cruising to a 4-and-2 victory. Yes, no doubt, Rory’s No. 1. About the only shame is that so few people made it to Harding Park this week for McIlroy to show them why. He has offered few better examples of why he has held the top spot for the past 39 weeks (78 overall), and could continue as the best on the planet for a good while longer, considering his age. He’s a fi nisher. He rallied to beat Billy Horschel on the 20th hole to get into the round of 16 on Friday. After overwhelming Hideki Matsuyama in his fi rst elimination match, he then went toe-to-toe with Casey late Saturday, and when the match was called due to darkness, fi nished the job Sunday morning by reaching the green in two shots, making a beautiful lag putt close to the hole and then rolling it in for the one-up
victory. Furyk looked like he had McIlroy on the ropes on the back nine of the semis but made costly errors that prevented him from taking a two-up lead, and McIlroy made him pay with his magnificent close on 17 and 18. In the fi nal against Woodland, McIlroy went one up on the fourth hole when his opponent, who couldn’t stay out of the trees early, bogeyed. He then reeled off three straight birdies to take control of the match, and although Woodland rallied to win two holes and blew a chance to get back within one, McIlroy essentially went wire-to-wire to close it out. It wasn’t a bad consolation prize for Woodland, who beat England’s Danny Willett 3 and 2 in the other Sunday semifi nal and collected a career-best check of $930,000 for fi nishing second. Willett won the third-place match against Furyk, 3 and 2, and earned $646,000.
KARL MONDON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Rory McIlroy’s attempt to get back on the green at the 13th hole falls short, but he still went on to win the WGC-Cadillac Match Play golf tournament on Sunday at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.
