Final curtain call for That’s Rentertainment

BEN LASH THE DAILY ILLINI

After 30 years of business, That’s Rentertainment will close later this summer. The video rental store specializes in independent films. BY BEN LASH STAFF WRITER

After 30 years of business, locallyowned video rental store That’s Rentertainment has announced it will be closing this summer. The store opened in June 1985 in the back of Johnstowne Center on campus as a video and record rental store. It specializes in independent medida and is located today at 516 E. John St. “It’s been pretty awesome,” said Geoff Merritt, owner of That’s Rentertainment. “I like movies; I like campus; and I love Urbana-Champaign. It’s a lot of work, but it’s a lot of fun.” A graduate of the University with a degree in Psychology, Merritt founded That’s Rentertainment and made it a cultural landmark for the town and University. “I grew up here, and my parents worked for the University,” Merritt said. “My interest in film came from all of my early exposure to cool films from my

folks and people on campus.” Today, That’s Rentertainment has a video collection of over 40,000 copies. The collection grew through decades of research by Merritt and his employees, requests from customers and curriculum from film professors at the University. Despite many big-name video rental chains going out of business, such as Blockbuster, which began closing stores in 2013, Merritt said That’s Rentertainment was able to continue with the support of costumers in the community. However, with many big-name providers moving toward online streaming, video rental stores are struggling to keep up with the times. “The cards are kind of stacked against video stores right now, and the cost of renting a video store doesn’t go down,” Merritt said. “There are some really good stores hanging in there, and I’m part of a group of independent video store owners online. I know at least one that’s gone the not-for-profit route.

There’s one that went the co-op route.” That’s Rentertainment employee James Underhill said the store offers something unique to the community that will be hard to replace. “I’ve been coming here since I was probably in middle school to get videos that were harder to find,” Underhill said. “I think it’s a huge loss for the community. In Champaign-Urbana, we’re definitely not going to see anything like this again.” Emily Otnes, junior in LAS and employee at That’s Rentertainment, said she’ll also miss the variety That’s Rentertainment provides. “It’s a really neat place and has a huge selection,” Otnes said. “It’s really important that local businesses stay alive. … It adds more individuality to a community to have local businesses, especially in Champaign-Urbana.” Merritt said the community should work to back local business they love by frequenting them and giving them their

support. “I feel really bad,” Merritt said. “What I would hope people would do is look around at the businesses that they like and just go there one more time a week, or even one more time a month. So many awesome stores have shut down, and they’re all run by people who just love what they’re doing. “We’re not going to get those businesses back. If there’s something that you love in town, just go there one more time.” That’s Rentertainment will continue to receive new releases through June, and films can still be rented until the end of July. Starting June 15, films will be sold at a set price of $19.95, and the price will continually decrease until the business closes. All purchased blocks will still be valid for the store and will be bought back in August.

Task force created to stop gun violence BY ATOOSA SAYEH STAFF WRITER

The Champaign Police Department, Urbana Police Department, Champaign County Sheriff’s Office and University of Illinois Police Department are working together as a newly-formed task force to address recent gun violence in the Champaign-Urbana community. The group held a press conference Tuesday to discuss their recent addition of a Street Crimes Task Force. “This unit is a group of individuals coming together to work this problem,” said Champaign Police Chief Anthony Cobb. “They’re going after individuals that have been associated with this

violence.” Cobb said the task force would investigate the gun violence acts, and go to the areas where the issues are occurring. “We really want to make it challenging for the individuals associated with gun violence to continue to do these acts,” Cobb said. The task force will also be collaborating with the neighborhoods where most of the gun violence is occurring. Urbana Chief of Police Patrick Connolly said it is important for people to provide any information they have about the gun violence offenders. “Our goal is to strengthen the neighborhood and identify those responsible

for the shootings,” Connolly said. “Our hope is that we can strategically focus on this community problem and put a stop to this continued violence.” According to Connolly, since February 16, 43 additional shooting cases have been opened in the community. Currently, eight members of the community’s police departments are on the task force. Most of them are sergeants and come from various departments in the area. Along with focusing on the individuals responsible for gun violence, the task force will be utilizing traffic stops to intercept gun violence offenders, and it wants the public to know that these stops

will be increased. The task force will start from June 2 and go until September 7 to assess its progress. Cobb said the task force’s duration could be longer depending on its progress. “We need a societal community response to this. Assist us in solving these problems,” said Jeff Christensen, police chief of the University Police Department. “Our most important resource is our community, and this community is Champaign County; it has no borders.” Funding is coming from all of the Champaign Police Department’s agencies.

Orphans Treasure Box works to help those in need, one book at a time BY SENAIT GEBREGIORGIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Four years ago, Beth Wendling wanted to get rid of a bunch of books that she stored in the basement of her Champaign home. She posted eight of them on Amazon.com and sold four of them in just one day. Little did she know, her business, Orphans Treasure Box, would eventually blossom into a book outlet in Champaign, where she could sell books and receive donations at the same time. Orphans Treasure Box is an organization that sells thousands of books every year online and through their used-books outlet located at 826 Pioneer St., Champaign. Every day, the shop receives book donations, which are then sold in the outlet and online in places such as Amazon. com, AbeBooks.com and Half.com. The net profit is given to charitable causes that provide aid for orphans. Beth Wendling, founder of Orphans Treasure Box, said the vision to start the shop began after reading “Radical” by David Platt, which told the story about a donation to a water project in Africa. She said the passage had a strong impact on her. “I thought, ‘What am I doing with my life?’ I just prayed to God, and it was instantly like a curtain pullback,” Wendling said. “I saw what I have been playing around with – books.” Less than four years later, 28,000 books are being sold online and roughly 10,000 books from donations are purchasable to the public in the outlet. Barbra King first started volunteering for Orphans Treasure Box about two years ago and is now the warehouse manager and coordinator. She said the business is continuously developing, and volunteers play a huge role. “We have volunteers in every department,” King said. “The truth is that as we’ve been growing – and we’ve been growing a lot – we have a need for much more than we actually have as far as hours worked.” Hundreds of books are sold every week and all kinds of book donations are given to the outlet, including non-fiction, suspense, biography and children books. The outlet currently sells their books for a quarter each, while the online prices can vary based on a book’s worth. “We have a lot of people who would come and get boxes of books,” Wendling said. “They’ll read the books, and three or four weeks later, they would donate the same books back because they only spent

The children’s room at Orphans Treasure Box at 826 Pioneer St., Champaign, on June 4. a couple of bucks in the first place. It’s like a library without the deadline.” King said any books they receive that are not in good enough shape for purchase don’t go to waste. “Every box we open is kind of like a treasure box,” King said. “We don’t know what’s going to be in there. It could be a lot of things that we just need to send to recycling, or it could be that $600 book that we were able to sell to an antique book dealer. Then with that money, we can help (orphans and other vulnerable kids).” Since January 1, 2015, Orphans Treasure Box is close to giving away $10,000 in donations. Four times a year, “Profit Day” takes place, in which the staff and board members of Orphans Treasure Box decide where to donate their net profit.

Some of the organizations currently listed to receive donations include C-U at home, which provides support for homeless people in ChampaignUrbana; Delivering Hope International, which aids with maternal, newborn and child health in Ethiopia; and Hogar de Esperanza, which provides care for abandoned children in Peru. Julie McClure, promotions manager of Orphans Treasure Box, said the book donations from people are vital to the organization’s growth. “We’ve come a long way in people knowing who we are,” McClure said. “I really think that we started to kind of work our way into the community a lot more and put our name and our faces in more peoples’ minds than where we were a year ago. The biggest thing is getting those

donations because then that just increases our funds to be able to donate [to the charitable causes].” Wendling said she wants Orphans Treasure Box to not only be recognized for the generous donations they give to orphans but also as one of the best book businesses. “We have just started where we’re headed,” Wendling said. “We have volunteers that do most of the work – I’m a volunteer. We’re able to get money out of [books] that a lot of people think are trash or garbage, or that are sitting in their basement or garage, and we’re able to do so much for kids. If we can build this here, why can’t it be built in a lot of other communities? That’s what excites me the most.”

GRANDE AGAINST GENDER GAP

WIND WOES

Award-winner Arianna Grande is not going to answer any more questions about boys. The grammy-nominated 21-year-old is finished answering questions about her love life, and for a good reason. Grande feels that the the media is more interested in her dating habits than her career. While Grande is not the first female pop star to point out this trend, she is taking to social media to share her frustration with her young fans. One would hope that her influence on her teen fans will influence the way they think about gender stereotypes and influence the future of how media

Illinois is a flat state, so there is not much blocking the wind from blowing people to the ground. The gusts do have their good points, as it adds a little relief to otherwise heavy, hot central-Illinois days. But it ultimately reeks havoc on anyone with long hair or wearing a skirt. There is nothing that can be done from stopping the wind from coming, but ending up with a tangled mess of hair and accidentally flashing innocent bystanders Marilyn Monroestyle is less than ideal.

A worthy recipient of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award MATT SILICH Opinions columnist

ummer is a time to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the beauty of life. Gone are the strictures of school and campus life, wherein many students only feel light on their skin when it’s emanating from the blank Microsoft Word documents on their computer screens. Yet, in the wake of Caitlyn Jenner’s coming out as a transgender woman on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, seemingly all of America sprinted back inside to deliver steaming hot takes about transgender individuals on Facebook and other social media outlets. Shortly after the Vanity Fair cover was released, ESPN announced that Caitlyn Jenner would be honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYS because of her courage in coming out publicly. ESPN claims that the award “is presented each year to individuals whose contributions transcend sports.” Jenner’s acceptance of the award at the ESPYS, which will air July 15 on ABC, will

be her first public appearance since undergoing her transition. In a press release announcing the award’s recipient, ESPN did not name any other candidates for the award who had been passed up in favor of Jenner. In spite of this, a meme is sweeping across the Internet claiming that Jenner was selected for the award at the expense of two particularly inspiring people. One is army veteran Noah Galloway, who lost two limbs in Iraq and now runs marathons and has been a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. The other supposed nominee for the award is Lauren Hill, a 19-year-old basketball player who played in spite of her terminal brain cancer and ended up raising a boatload of money for cancer research. Obviously, nobody would ever try to discount the heroism of those people. Both Galloway and Hill have incredible life stories and certainly match the qualifications that ESPN ascribes to its award. That said, there’s a disturbing underlying theme to the vast majority of social media posts claiming that these two should win the award instead of Jenner. Instead of heaping praise upon their preferred candidate, many people merely insult Jenner. Phrases disparaging Jenner’s accomplish-

ments such as “he is not a hero” or “that doesn’t take any courage” have become all-too-common sights this week. Lauren Hill and Noah Galloway are inspiring figures by any measure, which is why it’s all the more reprehensible to hide one’s own insecurity-driven discrimination and hatred behind their visages. Further, questioning the courage required to transition as a transgender individual, like Caitlyn Jenner, serves only to prove one’s own ignorance of the difficult lives that transgender people lead. A survey of 6,450 transgender men and women done by the National Center for Transgender Equality found that 90 percent of the survey participants experienced harassment or mistreatment in the workplace because of their gender identity. Due to fear of such harassment, 71 percent of participants said they tried to hide or delay their gender transition. To come out and confidently state a gender transition like Jenner did, especially after a long life lived under public scrutiny and with such incredible athletic achievements, is an act absolutely worthy of a courage award. Seventy-eight percent of transgender people who transitioned from one gender to the other said they felt more comfortable at work and their job performance improved,

even in spite of the dramatically increased level of mistreatment and harassment. If even one transgender individual’s self confidence increases as a result of Jenner’s public transition, or if even one of the vast number of transgender people who tragically commit suicide each year relents, then the press Jenner is receiving is completely worth it. Perhaps the reason many people have trouble empathizing with the struggles of transgender men and women is because the feeling of a mismatched sex and gender identity is very difficult to imagine or comprehend. Still, that doesn’t make Jenner’s act any less courageous, and it certainly doesn’t justify heartless posts comparing her to a science experiment like a recent Instagram picture by Snoop Dogg. The namesake of the ESPYS Courage Award, Arthur Ashe, was the first and only black man to win the singles titles at Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open. A breaker of barriers and inspiration for younger generations of black men, it seems to me that Jenner is a worthy recipient of the same award received by Nelson Mandela, Michael Sam and other transcendent public figures.

A visit to Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery

A few goats eat from a trough of straw at the Open House of Prairie Fruits Farm and Creamery on Wednesday, June 3.

Goats, good times galore at Champaign farm BY ALLISON MCILVAIN STAFF WRITER

Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery in Champaign hosts a weekly open house during the summer months. The farm offers food, sweets and a chance to see its goats. At the open house, which is every Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m., visitors can purchase gelato made on the farm in an

assortment of flavors, including salted caramel, strawberry, vanilla and mint. There are also caramels, fresh fruits, cheese and crackers. Visitors can meet the goats that supply the milk for the gelato and cheese. Owners Wes Jarrell and Leslie Cooperband opened Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery in 2003. Pat Syoen, a friend of Jarrell and Cooperband, said, “They went to Italy and got their [gelato] machine and learned how to make it there. So you know you’re getting the best.”

Tomahnous Farm, Heirloominous Farm and Stewart’s Artisan Breads were also at Wednesday’s open house selling their products. Visitors can wander in the barn to enjoy food and visit with the goats in their tents or sit outside at the many picnic tables around the farm. “Once schools get out all the kids want to come out and start off their summer with gelato and see the goats,” said Maureen Sullivan, a worker at the farm and a University graduate.

There were two newborn goat kids that had been born just the week before. Other, younger goats were roaming in their fences, eating hay, while the older goats lined up to be milked in a separate area. “I don’t go out too often, but this is a very nice outing for the day,” said Nita Rosenberger, a first-time visitor to the farm. Open houses at the farm will continue on through early September. As Sullivan said, “it’s a great place to be.”

Celebrities support youth program Local celebrities help Summer Youth Employment Program by volunteering at Merry Ann’s Diner fundraiser BY MARIAH SCHAEFER STAFF WRITER

A fundraiser featuring local celebrities helped out the Summer Youth Employment Program this week. This was second year the event, hosted by Mary Ann’s Diner, has been held. “Merry Ann’s Diner Celebrity Server and Chef Fundraiser,” took place at the restaurant’s Main Street location on Monday and at the Neil Street location on Tuesday. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser benefitted the program, a six-week career exploration and job sales training program for Unit 4 students ages 14 to 19. The program, a partnership between the Unit 4 School District and the city of Champaign, has been around since 2011. Anthony Pomonis, chief operations officer at Merry Ann’s Diner Inc., came up with the idea for the fundraiser while thinking of ways to give back to a philanthropy that needed more attention in the community.

“Our local celebrities are kind of the big heads in the community, so for them to come in and learn about the program and spread the word, that means it gets to more people.” LUCENDA BARNES STUDENT YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM PLANNER

“We thought we can attract attention and attract dollars to this wonderful group of people at Unit 4, and we can raise some money,” he said. Pomonis said it costs $1,000 to pair up a Unit 4 student with a local business. He said that because of a lack of money to pair

Steve Gardner, a financial planner, chats with a customer at Merry Ann’s Diner on Tuesday, June 2. up every student who applies for the program, there has been a waitlist. Lucenda Barnes, SYEP planner and soon-to-be assistant supervisor, said the program is accepting 180 students this summer. She said SYEP looks at a student’s GPA, attendance and behavior from the past two semesters to select the students for the program. “We work with about 60 to 70 local businesses that employ our kids for the summer, but we pay our students directly,” Barnes said. “That’s what we need the additional funding for.” Last year, $6,000 was raised for the program. Barnes said this year’s fundraiser is on track to reach their current $10,000 goal. Pomonis said there are about 30 waitlist-

ed students, so raising $10,000 would still only get 10 students off of the waiting list. “Our local celebrities are kind of the big heads in the community, so for them to come in and learn about the program and spread the word, that means it gets to more people,” Barnes said. Public officials and other influential members of the community washed dishes, took orders and served customers behind the diner’s counter. Some volunteered for the whole event, and some worked 30-minute shifts. C. Pius Weibel, a recently-retired geologist at Illinois State Geological Survey and member of the Champaign County Board, has volunteered both years the fundraiser has taken place. “I think that summer jobs are important

for young people,” Weibel said. “If they are not doing anything or hanging around, kids get into trouble, so I think that summer employment is good. Plus, they learn how to work under somebody else’s authority, do things right, get there on time and things like that.” Chris Kloeppel, president of the Unit 4 Board of Education, said participating in fundraisers like the SYEP fundraiser at Merry Ann’s Diner is important. “Just get out and support something that we are involved with,” Kloeppel said. “If we are not able to do that, then I think things like this die, so I’d love to see the community involvement.”

Illinois softball head coach retires DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Coach Terri Sullivan celebrates after winning the game against Western at Eichelberger Field on Saturday, May 7, 2011. Sullivan is the first head coach for the program and is leaving after 16 years. BY MASAKI SUGIMOTO ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR FOR VIDEO

Terri Sullivan, the inaugural head coach for the Illinois softball program, has stepped down after 16 years at the helm. “I’ve always loved what I’ve done,” Sullivan said. “I say I’ve never worked a day in my life.” The announcement came Thursday morning with a release from the university’s athletic department, as well as a letter from Sullivan. The morning announcement came as a surprise to her players. “We ended up getting an email from coach herself, explaining that she was retiring and the reasons why,” second baseman Allie Bauch said.

Sullivan stated that she wanted to be closer to her husband and daughter in Iowa. Her husband, Shawn Wax, used to be an associate athletic director at Illinois before leaving in 2010 to work for the University of Iowa. Sullivan, the daughter of a former basketball coach, started the Illini softball program after a successful stint as an assistant coach for the UIC Flames. She was 29 years old when she started the program. In 2001, she set the record for most Big Ten wins in an inaugural season, going 12-8 in conference and 49-23 overall. The furthest Sullivan took a Fighting Illini team was to an NCAA Regional final in 2004. Another notable accomplishment was

when she was named Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2010. Her team posted a 45-8 record in the Big Ten and had a season-long winning streak of 14. The team finished the season No.25 in the country. One of Sullivan’s attributes that will be missed from the program is her energetic demeanor. “No matter what she’s doing, she always has that enthusiasm,” Bauch said. “That’s what’s awesome about her.” That may be what Sullivan is most remembered for. Whether it was on or off the field, she was the brightest person around. Sullivan noted that her connection with Illinois will never vanish. “To everyone here, you can’t get rid of me,” she said. “You know when you need an

interview to fill a time slot, you only have to ask one question.” Associate head coach Donna Dibaise will take over the team on an interim basis during the program’s search for a permanent head coach. Sullivan’s impact over time will not be the teams she’s coached or the awards she’s won. “People are what it’s all about, and anything that a coach has from a success standpoint is directly correlated to the effort of others,” Sullivan said. “Players mean the world to me. With that said, it is an emotional day. If it wasn’t, I shouldn’t have been doing this for that long.”

Blackhawks have turned campustown into hockey-town E

ven though the University doesn’t have a Division I hockey team, from October to June, campustown is hockey-town. And it isn’t hockey-town because the sport is engrained into local culture, nor are there shiny ice arenas in the area where students and the community can conveniently practice and play the sport. Illinois is not a hockey hotbed. But over the past six years, one team has single-handedly sparked the Champaign-Urbana campus’ love affair with hockey: the Chicago Blackhawks.

the more enjoyable it becomes. The Blackhawks won’t be this good forever (apparently only the St. Louis Cardinals can be good for eternity in the Midwest) so it’s important to enjoy this run while it lasts. But their success has established a hockey obsession in Chicago, along with a bunch of miniHawks dens like Champaign-Urbana throughout the Midwest. Maybe the most impressive effect is how they’ve created a culture where it’s cool to like hockey (even though it’s the nation’s fourthmost popular sport) amongst an entire generation of fans. Thanks to the Blackhawks, the local sports scene will never be the same.

Sports columnist

Blackhawks have assumed the role of semilocal darling. Everyone wants to root for a winner, and we know we can count on the Hawks to deliver. Another source of swelling Hawks fandom is the fact that it’s relatively easy to jump on the bandwagon. The term “bandwagon fans” can carry a negative connotation, but for a franchise that didn’t even broadcast its home games on TV until the mid-2000s (after many years of bad hockey), it’s hard to blame fans who are only recently becoming interested in the sport. Add in the fact that Hawks games have become more of a social appointment for some students, and you get a lot of kids donning red and black sweaters who couldn’t tell you the difference between a line change and icing. And that’s OK. Sports are supposed to be fun, and the more people cheering alongside you,

ALEX ROUX

The Blackhawks are awesome, and everyone knows it. They’ve had an unbelievable stretch of hockey over the past six years, reaching the Stanley Cup Final three times in that span and winning two Cups, with hopefully a third coming to Chicago in the next couple of weeks. In my opinion, the biggest reason the Blackhawks have been able to take hold so quickly in the area is the lack of success from Chicago’s other major teams during the same period. Since the Hawks won their first modern era Cup in 2010, the Bears have come within one game of the Super Bowl in 2011 and the Bulls were blown out of the Eastern Conference Finals a few months later. Since then, both franchises and fan bases have experienced mostly frustration. The Cubs and White Sox have been awful. With the Illini revenue sports being pretty mediocre overall since the 2008 Rose Bowl, the
