Dispensaries wait for legal green light BY WALBERT CASTILLO STAFF WRITER
Editor’s Note: A source’s name has been changed to Charlie Johnson to protect his identity. When Illinois became the 20th state to legalize cannabis for medical purposes earlier this year, it was only a matter of time until medical marijuana dispensary facilities would arrive in Urbana, said Alderman Diane Marlin, Ward 7. Illinois enacted the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act in January 2014, allowing for the legal sale and use of medical marijuana. Four companies in Urbana are waiting to hear back after submitting their applications on Sept. 22 for medical marijuana dispensary licenses, which would allow them to sell cannabis to patients diagnosed with any of the 38 debilitating medical conditions. Libby Tyler, community development director and city planner of Urbana, said the city received applications from Green Thumb Wellness, Pfx Farms of Illinois, The

Despite marijuana legalization, Marlin said there is an underlying conflict between what the states are doing and what the federal government considers to be illegal activity. The federal government

Researchers lend a hand BY JANE LEE STAFF WRITER
For amputees in developing countries the cost of prostheses can be too expensive, ranging in the tens of thousands of dollars. But a research team at the University may have found a solution to that problem with the development of a 3D-printed prosthetic hand with pattern recognition capabilities that can be made for $270. Team members visited Ecuador in August to test their prototype, and hope to return as they continue their research.
Discovering the use of 3-D printing ANNA HECHT THE DAILY ILLINI
The team, advised by Tim
Bretl, associate professor in Aerospace Engineering, came together about three years ago to study ways to examine and control the use of prosthetics. The team is collaborating with the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Aadeel Akhtar, team leader and PhD student in Neuroscience, said the team is researching how to control prosthetic limbs by using muscle signals. “The whole idea of using 3-D printer prosthetics came around about last year when I was talking to another group member, Mary Nguyen,” Akhtar said. “Around this time there was an explosion in using 3-D printer prosthetics; you would see
Construction of ACES lab to begin after delay BY ERIC FRIES STAFF WRITER
Construction of a new Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory should be underway by the middle of the month, said Hans Blaschek, director of the new facility and assistant dean for the College of ACES. The project, funded by the state of Illinois’ Capital Development Program, will cost somewhere between $22 and $25 million, Blaschek said. The state approved the project in 2008, but as a result of the recession and approval issues concerning other legislative bodies, it had been put on hold until now. The laboratory will be con-
structed on Pennsylvania Avenue, connecting to the existing Agricultural Bioprocess Laboratory, which is around 100 years old. It is expected to be finished and operational by the summer of 2016, Blaschek said. Bioprocessing involves extracting products with a higher value from plants, said Neal Merchen, associate dean of research for the College of ACES. These products could include important chemicals, nutrients or bioactive compounds, which can then be used for pharmaceuticals or nutritional supplements. Biofuel production will also be a focus of the facility.

Urbana shooter remains unidentified DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

A computer rendering of the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory, which will be in operation by the summer of 2016 and focus on biofuel research. “Most of the research that will take place in that building will revolve around developing processes for the production of biofuels from agricultural products,” Merchen said. The facility will include a large “high bay” area where research and development will take place, as well as classrooms, office space and an analytical laboratory. “I think the really unique thing about the facility is the scale of the facility,” Merchen said.
Its scale will be larger than “the scale of a laboratory bench,” but smaller than an industrial-scale effort. “There are very few, if any, facilities that are designed to meet somewhere in between those two extremes,” Merchen said. The facility will be able to test whether scaling a laboratory-scale project up to a larger scale is feasible and provide proof of concept. The facility will also allow

Police are still looking for a suspect in connection to the shooting of a 25-yearold man. The man was shot Tuesday on the 600 block of North Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. The victim walked into Provena Hospital and was then transported to Carle Hospital, where he underwent surgery for gunshot wounds. The full extent of his injuries are not known, but they were described as serious and he is still hospitalized, said Bryant Seraphin, criminal investigation division commander for the Urbana Police Department. The shooter has not yet been identified. Police are searching for a mid-sized white General Motors SUV.
Broken glass was found on the scene and could be indicative of windows shot out from the SUV, Seraphin said. A man with a possible connection to the shooting was seen running northbound from the area of the shooting immediately after the incident. He was described by witnesses as an African-American male in his 20s, wearing a navy Adidas sports jacket. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call the Urbana Police Department at 217-384-2320.

Quad amputee called person of interest in parents’ deaths BY TIFFANY WALDEN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
As a teenager growing up in South Florida, Sean Petrozzino made headlines with his upbeat attitude after bacterial meningitis and more than a dozen surgeries ravaged his body. Bacteria destroyed his hands, feet and parts of his limbs. But the sophomore clarinetist — a quadruple amputee at 16 — touched many with his positive outlook, prompting donations of a voicecommand laptop, wheelchair ramps and a specially equipped van. “Lots of important things in life just happen by chance,” he said in an interview 14 years ago. “You know someone and get a job that makes you millions of
dollars. Or you get a disease. There doesn’t seem to be any reason some things happen.” On Wednesday, Petrozzino, now 30, made headlines again — this time as an alleged guntoting, dangerous “person of interest” in the fatal shootings of his parents in their Orange County home. The bodies of Nancy Petrozzino, 64, and Michael Petrozzino, 63, were found Tuesday, prompting a search for their son and his father’s missing vehicle, a red Toyota Camry with Florida license plate 112VZY. He is only a person of interest and not a suspect, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Jane Watrel said at a news conference Wednesday. “We want him to get in here and talk to us so we can

HAND Akhtar said. Every week, each gesture is trained for two to three seconds, which will allow the machine learning algorithm to collect data and analyze the motions being made.
Development of the model Akhtar said the team hopes to incorporate sensory feedback into the next version of the hand. “No commercial device currently has any form of sensory feedback at all,” Akhtar said. “We want to be one of the first prosthetic hands out there that can incorporate this feedback into the device, also at a low price point.” There are two types of sensory feedback that is given to prosthetic hand users. One type is proprioception sensory feedback, which is the ability to feel the position of a joint, Akhtar said. “For instance, if an amputee were to close his eyes and move his prosthetic hand around, he has no

MARIJUANA still considers the selling of medical cannabis to be a drug transaction, which banks do not want to be involved with, so payments must be done with cash only, Marlin said. Once the businesses receive a response, those that are approved will have to figure out how they will work under a cash basis, Marlin said. Marlin said dispensaries will charge $300 to $400 per ounce and qualifying patients can obtain up to 2.5 ounces every two weeks. She added medical marijuana will be expensive since insurance will not cover it.
Location guidelines based on zoning ordinance amendment The Urbana City Council unanimously voted in early August to pass a zoning ordinance amendment that specifically stated where dispensaries would be allowed.

ACES faculty and company representatives to test their technologies and access different types of utilities, such as different types of power, voltages and gas. This is possible because everything is at a scale where it can be moved around, making it more modular and easy to use, Blaschek said. There will be a fee sched-
idea what the joint positions are going to be like in that hand or what the shape of his hand is going to take,” Akhtar said. “If I close my eyes and move my hand around, I know exactly what shape my hand is making.” One way the team is trying to give that sensation back to amputees is through a technique known as skin stretch. When the fi nger moves, Akhtar said, it proportionately stretches the skin so that the position of the joint angle being moved corresponds to the amount of skin stretch users feel. Although the use of sensory feedback does not provide the same senses amputees had before their amputation, it tries to give them ways to feel through their prosthesis. “After only six minutes of training, users were able to distinguish between six different grips, just based off the skin stretch,” Akhtar said. “They couldn’t see the device, they couldn’t hear the device at all and they were able to get above 88 percent accuracy in distinguishing the different grips that were being presented through skin stretch.”
The team is also working on a prototype that uses four-bar linkage, which Slade designed within about two weeks. Slade said the four-bar linkage allows the joints to move in a natural, consistent manner because the joints are coupled together. “The use of four-bar linkage - which is four mechanically bridged and rigid links that are all attached by joints - it will move through a small motion rather than the tendon winch method, where you are like pulling in the string,” Slade said.
businesses in Urbana have applied for licenses and are undergoing a competitive application process. Licenses are divided between the 21 police districts in Illinois based on the district’s population size. Champaign County police district can have up to two dispensary facilities and one cultivation center, where business owners can actively grow cannabis to be shipped to the dispensary locations, Marlin said. Alderman Bill Brown, Ward 4, said the Champaign County police district extends from Decatur to Danville. Marlin said she expects one of the two dispensary facilities will be in Urbana. A zoning analysis of the city in the amendment requires the dispensaries to be 1,000 feet away from areas containing schools and day care centers. Since the product will be serving a large population, Libby said the city compared similar types of services in the area, such as pharmacies and clinics, when setting the parameters. Tyler believes these dispensary locations are an opportunity for economic development in Urbana.
Although there is no set deadline for license awards, Stephen Morrill, attorney at Morrill & Associates PC and representative of Pfx Farms, said they are expecting to hear back some time between December and January. Pfx Farms was created to own and operate a medical marijuana business since the pilot program was enacted in early January 2014. “If we are fortunate to obtain a license, medical cannabis would be available to patients some time in mid 2015, after the initial growing cycle of new cultivation centers,” Morrill said. “When the product is ready for the market, the available inventory will be sold to retail establishments.” Morrill said the team at Pfx Farms is looking forward to creating a positive and longterm relationship with the city of Urbana if awarded the medical cannabis dispensary license. “We are excited to participate in a highly professional manner in this new medical market,” he said. Brown said the state has tight guidelines as to how medical cannabis could be dispensed within these facilities, but he said he is not wor-
ried the drug will be used for the wrong purposes.
ule set up for company use, allowing the facility to be feasible from a business standpoint and produce revenue for the University, Merchen said. There will also be a program where faculty will be able to submit proposals to use the facility and carry out their own project. Students will be able to benefit from the laboratory as well through workshops where they can be involved with the state-of-the-art equipment.
“Educationally, I think the facility would definitely boost the knowledge,” said Nate Wells, senior in ACES. “I think some things that are discovered there should be open source, and that knowledge should be distributed.” Blaschek said in the long run, the facility will help to create jobs. “We’re creating new technologies around which companies can be based,” he said. Merchen said the facility will be beneficial to the Uni-
versity in several ways. “I think it will facilitate a good deal of partnerships between the world of private enterprises and a public institution like the University of Illinois,” he said. “I think (the facility) also helps put the University of Illinois in the position to be one of the national and maybe global leaders in the use of bioprocessing.”
Research in Ecuador In collaboration with David Krupa, cofounder of Range of Motion Project and University alumnus, team members traveled to Ecuador to test their prototype. “It was a very great experience working with an actual person who happens to have an amputation and who could help us with learning what we needed to do for our prosthetic device,” said Nguyen, graduate student in Aerospace Engineering. “It’s one thing to be up here testing the device;
we do have some access, but when we are trying to develop devices for people in developing countries, it’s important to go down and see what the needs are and what they want.” Nguyen said the experience with Juan Suquillo, an Ecuadorian patient who tested the device, was successful and fulfi lling for everyone involved. “The next time we go back, we plan on having a fully-functional prototype that we can actually leave for long-term testing,” Akhtar said. “Our goal in this fi rst trip was just to make sure that we can actually get our devices to work.” Akhtar said he and his team are trying to design a new prototype that would be able to completely fi t into a socket and include all the electronic devises and the electromyographic sensor board. The team will continue working to make prostheses accessible to everyone who needs them.

User to benefit from medical marijuana Graduate student Charlie Johnson, a patient suffering from syringomyelia, a condition in which a fluid-filled cyst develops on the spinal cord, actively uses dronabinol, a cannabis, man-made pill. Johnson said he is uncertain whether he would sign up for different varieties of medical cannabis at a dispensary in Urbana. “My dronabinol is already paid for by my insurance with a small co-pay like any other prescription would be,” Johnson said. “However, there is no insurance coverage for medical cannabis in Illinois, so to enter that dispensary facility system would be at my own expense.” However, Johnson said he may consider purchasing cannabis at these dispensary locations if the quality is high and the price is affordable. Johnson believes these dispensary locations could be highly beneficial to people who are unable to receive cannabis for their illnesses.

Fresh outbreak of violence hits and kills 1 in Jerusalem, injures more In a fresh outbreak of violence in Jerusalem Wednesday, one person was killed and at least a dozen others injured when a Palestinian man rammed his vehicle into pedestrians in what has become a familiar if unpredictable pattern of action in the troubled city. According to eyewitnesses, a white van deliberately struck several police troops at a light-rail stop and continued to ram the vehicle
into other pedestrians and cars before stalling at a traffic light 500 meters later. He got out of the car and began attacking passersby with a crowbar before a police officer who arrived at the scene shot him. One victim died of fatal injuries shortly after the incident, described by authorities as a terror attack. Thirteen people were taken to hospitals throughout Jerusalem.

Self-service registration tips and tricks
W
ith time tickets for spring registration starting to open, students are now becoming subjected to the frenzy, fears and trepidations of planning for the coming semester. For those who are new to the ways of University self-registration, brace yourselves, because it can be a bumpy ride if you don’t prepare. As such, let us offer you a little guidance: Priorities, priorities. Going into registration, figure out which course or requirements you absolutely have to take or satisfy to graduate. Make sure to sign up for these classes first and foremost, whether they are general education classes or required courses for your major. The chosen few. Your place in line for registration is determined by both the number of hours you’ve already accumulated as well as certain special statuses, such as being a James Scholar. You should account for where you may land in the pack and take that into consideration when weighing the likelihood of getting into coveted courses — like anything with Professor Snodgrass. Which is why you should also: Make backup plans. Yes, the four-day weekend schedule is the creme-de-la-creme of the college experience — for those who know how to work it, that is. But, so many confounding factors can get between you and not having to wake up on Fridays, which is why you should put some thought into what alternative schedules may be available and which ones would be acceptable. Seek out the sages. Ask your friends what classes they enjoyed. Email professors to get a peek at their course syllabus. Note: Rate My Professors and sites like it are generally not a reliable heuristic method unless you are beholden to the wisdom and opinions of noted University student “Anonymous.�
Let it grow for a good cause REBECCA KAPOLNEK Opinions columnist
N
ovember has never really been my favorite month. It’s a limbo period between beautiful fall weather in October and the holiday festivities in December. November usually brings cold, dreary weather, along with No Shave November and Movember. Until this year, I had always hated the idea of No Shave November, and I thought it was purposeless. The thought of all guys walking around for a month with hairy faces kind of made me cringe, mostly because I have never really been a fan of excessive facial hair. Most of my friends who have participated in No Shave November only mentioned their happiness in throwing away the razor for a month, so I didn’t know that there are others who participated for deeper reasons. This year, however, I learned exactly what No Shave November and Movember are intended to stand for. I learned why and how the craze came to be, and after much research, my opinions are forever changed. No Shave November and Movember occur in Novem-
ber when males can choose not to shave their faces. Women can participate, too, but it seems less common, and I haven’t heard of many such cases. Despite what many might think, the month can have purposes other than just relieving people of their grooming duties. According to the No Shave November website, the hair growth is a way to raise awareness for cancer and research by embracing our ability to grow hair, something that, unfortunately, many lose when on chemotherapy for cancer treatment. Movember is another movement that addresses men’s health — social, physical, mental, etc. Movember is not mainly focused on cancer, like No Shave November, rather it encompasses all forms of men’s health. In addition, men who participate in these movements can choose to donate the money they might use on grooming and shaving products to philanthropies of their choice. Men can join No Shave November teams online or decide to take the chal-
Time, precious time. Not a morning person? Don’t take 8 a.m. classes — ever. Next topic. Balance, young grasshopper. Required and advanced level courses are a necessary evil to many. But don’t let them own your schedule — balance out these more challenging classes with more interesting, less difficult ones. Class-curious? Spice up your course life by trying out exotic new classes outside your major that can satisfy your educational urges. You’ll thank us later. Strategize. Know when your time ticket opens, and, if you know what courses you want, know their course codes so you can register in no time. Even if you aren’t set on a schedule, pick up the classes you most want right away. You can always go back and edit your schedule later, but it makes life a lot easier if you’ve secured spots in your most wanted and needed courses. Additionally, sites like Scheedule that generate theoretical weekly class schedules can make planning out your potential class schedule much simpler. Choosing classes for next semester can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be. Follow our advice and hopefully in the spring you will be saying goodbye to classes any earlier than 10 a.m. and hello to long weekends.
lenge on their own. Regardless of their choice, many men choose to document their progress online and ask for donations, all of which go to the American Cancer Society. Things are similar with Movember. Upon learning more about the different reasons behind these movements, it became clear to me that many men abandon shaving for reasons other than pure laziness. While I am sure many men still don’t shave in November just as an excuse to be lazy and not deal with shaving, it shocked me that some men do this to raise awareness. If you read my column a few weeks back, you would know that I have a love for philanthropy and raising awareness for causes. In particular, I am a big advocate for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, something that often targets women. The way I see it, No Shave November is similar in the sense that it raises awareness for men’s health issues. No Shave November is a way for men to stand together and fight against cancer and promote men’s health issues.
No Shave November is a way for men to stand together and fight against cancer.
I fully respect anybody who wants to fight against cancer, and I will support men, and even women, who decide to take on this challenge. But if you’re choosing to grow your hair during November for no reason, you should consider learning more about the origins of the movements. No Shave November and Movember remind us, as students, that little things can make a huge difference, but only if you know and support the reasons behind them. We do not need to commit several weeks and thousands of dollars to make a significant contribution to a cause we feel passionate about. Something as easy as abstaining from shaving and donating any amount of money to the American Cancer Society is something every college student is capable of. Moving forward, I will no longer think about the men on this campus who are growing their beards out this month as merely lazy, although some might be. While I am still not a facial hair person, I respect what some men on this campus are dedicating themselves to this November. Thank you to those gentleman who are reminding us that even the little things can make a huge difference.

PRECIOUS PANDAS
YOUNG AND IN CHARGE
If you ever find yourself at the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, China, know that you are in the presence of three of the cutest animals out there. On Wednesday, three of the world’s only surviving giant pandas, one female and two males — triplets, as a matter of fact — turned 100 days old. Their birthday is July 29 and they are each a little over 11 pounds. If you aren’t completely enamored with the cuteness yet, they each have two little teeth. While at this point we are tempted to make the quick trip to China to take home the pandas for ourselves, there is that whole thing where they grow up and can weigh up to 350 pounds.
The votes are in, America, and among the results of the 2014 midterm elections is the youngest state lawmaker in America. Saira Blair, an 18-year-old freshman at West Virginia University, defeated her Democratic opponent to represent a small district in West Virginia. For her own campaign, Blair dished out around $4,000 — meanwhile, the rest of us college students barely even have enough pocket money to grab a Jimmy John’s sandwich. Regardless of whether you are a Republican, Democrat or neither, you have to admit that Blair’s feat is pretty darn impressive.

DOUGH-EYED FOR DOUGHNUTS
After 57 years, we can finally shed some light on the most “B****, please� photo the world has ever seen. In 1957, actress Sophia Loren was caught on camera giving the sassiest, judge-iest, side glare to fellow actress Jayne Mansfield. Was Loren throwing the green eyes of envy over at Mansfield? No. Did Mansfield steal Loren’s man? No. Rather, Mansfield was looking very va-va-voom — in other words, revealing — in her dress, and Loren said in reference to Mansfield’s breasts during an interview with Entertainment Weekly magazine, “I am afraid they are about to come onto my plate. In my face you can see the fear. I’m so frightened that everything in her dress is going to blow.� Mystery solved, ladies and gentleman.
We hope we are not too late in delivering the news to campus that yesterday was National Doughnut Day. If you missed out on the delicious celebrations though, fear not because National Doughnut Day is celebrated twice a year! While this was the second of the two, the celebration happens again in June. But we are still close enough to November 5 that we can all just consider this a weekly celebration and can make our way to the Green Street Dunkin Donuts for a quick munchkin or two, or ten or twenty. In fact, we might as well just make this a month long celebration, and we should also probably get a day off of classes for it. Or, at least, our professors should probably bring donuts to class for us.

Learning lab connects social work students BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER
The Community Learning Lab has connected nearly 100 local agencies to hundreds of University students. “The students at the U of I have put in over 5,000 hours through this (program) into the community,” said Sherrie Faulkner, director of the Community Learning Lab and director of Bachelors of Social Work Field Education. “That’s powerful. We’re really making a difference.” The Community Learning Lab, or CLL, is an endeavor of the School of Social Work, though its scope of influence also reaches into other departments such as the College of Business and the department of statistics. Since the beginning, the purpose of the CLL has been to link students with community organizations and agencies outside of the classroom. It serves as a liaison among the students, professors and local community groups such as the Crisis Nursery, Don Moyer’s Boys and Girls Club, the American Red Cross and the Savoy Fire Department, among several others. “It (is) an opportunity to match classroom assignments to real life, hands-on experiences,” Faulkner said. Students outside of the participating classes and community members can also join the CLL’s efforts on their own time. The CLL began in 2012 as a pilot program and then became full-fledged in the fall of 2013 with funding from the University’s Office of Public Engagement grant. This semester, the CLL still receives the grant money, with additional financial support through the Dean of the College of Social Work, Faulkner said. The funding goes toward “a student and an academic hourly liaison to help build and run the pro-
gram” along with training and marketing, Faulkner said. The projects, in collaboration with the CLL, range from one-time service opportunities or interviews to projects lasting a full semester or more. Joy Sugihara, senior in Social Work, is currently participating in a service learning opportunity in her SOCW 461 course, Professional Practice Seminar 1. The CLL collaborated with Sugihara and her class partner, Haley Fox, senior in Social Work, to place them with the Multicultural Community Center in Rantoul, one of Sugihara’s top three agency choices. “Our project is researching different grants or resource opportunities for the agency to build their existing computer lab and library,” she said. “They mainly serve migrant families ... or part-time workers from Mexico, and they serve the parents and also the children through academic after school programs.” The semester-long project and community collaboration will prepare Sugihara for next semester’s social work internship course, SOCW 470. Because the Multicultural Center is in Rantoul, Sugihara and Fox drive there every two weeks and conduct research on campus in between visits. Other students in her class work with agencies based on campus and typically meet with them on a weekly basis. “For me I think it’s a way to have hands-on experience,” Sugihara said. “You learn about not only the reality of the work, but also how there’s just a lot of variety and diversity of supervisors — so the leadership styles, what they’re passionate about and a lot of communication skills.” She said that it’s an entirely different experience from
simply reading and writing in a classroom setting. “Overall it’s just a learning experience that’s beneficial to the future work that we’re going to do,” Sugihara said. Morgan Tarter, graduate student in Social Work, has participated extensively with the CLL. In fact, she serves as the CLL student liaison in their office. “I’ve been with Sherrie (Faulkner) in the Community Learning Lab almost every single semester since it started,” Tarter said. “So I got to see how it’s grown — and it has; it kind of just took off. It has expanded.” She said that the CLL can be an essential resource to University students who are not as familiar with the variety of agencies and organizations in the area. It serves as a positive connection for social work classes, business classes and other courses that focus on community service learning projects. This “liaison relationship” connection, Faulkner emphasized, is “vital” to forming new networks that would have otherwise gone unchecked between the campus and the community. Tarter is currently working on a needs assessment for a pastoral care department in Carle Foundation Hospital, from which she can see actual results and share them with her supervisors. “To be able to help (local organizations) as a student, that only makes you marketable in your future,” she said. “It’s a really great thing for students to be able to say that they’ve actually completed these very tangible things, but also to give that back to an agency.”

FOLK The folk trio, Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards, is returning this year to play at the festival. Despite being a touring act, the audience was willing to sing along and participate in Cortese’s performance, in the spirit of the festival. “That was a nice surprise, because sometimes you come into a place where you’ve never been, where you don’t really know the audience — they’re not really our cultivated audience and we set out to get really engaged and involved in the show and

sometimes people don’t actually just jump on board and go there with us,” said Cortese, who plays the fiddle in the trio. “It was really nice to walk into this town where we’d never been and the audience just went for it.” Because the event is run by volunteers, the event is more responsive to what people want, according to Winters, allowing it to evolve each year. “It’s more than if we were having a lot of corporate sponsorship, this really is the community putting the festival together,” Winters said. “There’s nobody who gets paid to do the festival; there’s staff members.
Everybody is just volunteering their time and that helps us make sure the festival is what we want it to be.” As a community-centered event, the festival is something that allows for people of all ages to explore how folk music has been intertwined with America’s culture. “I hope people challenge themselves to open their minds and to come out and to discover this kind of music,” Koenig said. “It’s great. It changed my life when I was living in Chicago and playing in rock bands.”
NaNoWriMo is that it forces me to write under stress, which I strangely like,” Gamsby said. “I also have so many stories in my head at all times that it’s nice to get at least one of them out.” For Marino, she believes getting the story out on paper is the hardest part. “Everybody says at one point or another that they want to write a book,” Marino said. “It’s the idea that
you get past the things that hold you back to write that book. You write a sentence and it’s not the most perfect thing in the world, so you go, ‘Oh, this is not perfect, I cannot write this book,’ ... then coming back later and saying, ‘Oh, this wasn’t as bad as I thought it was.’ ”

it’s actually safer to fly than to cross the street. Pilots are held to high standards, trained to check their planes before and after a flight and are practiced in preparing for emergencies, he said. “A lot of planning goes into a flight,” said Desmarais, whose agency’s mission includes searching for lost planes. Entry-level private pilots are required to receive at least 40 hours of flight training, including 10 hours solo, and take a written test, said Mike Camelin, director of Sun State Aviation flight school at Kissimmee Gateway Airport.

OVIEDO, Fla. — Pilot James Gendreau flies over the landmark SunTrust tower, the downtown lights glimmering in the darkness as he approaches Orlando Executive Airport. As he gets close to the runway, Gendreau pulls the nose of his Cessna up and arcs away from his target. Then he repeats the maneuver again and again until he finally touches down. Gendreau, 48, didn’t burn any fuel while he practiced. He was “flying” using a simulator at Elite SimCenters in Oviedo, which opened this month. “It’s a great way to just brush up,” said Gendreau, a Seminole County commercial real estate developer with 25 years of flying experience. Gendreau and the more than 73,000 other pilots in Florida know that keeping up their skills is more than a requirement for maintaining their certification. It can be a matter of life and death.

Write 1,667 words. It’s a task that many college students complete at least once during their college careers, but for some writers, it is done every day for 30 days. That is the goal of National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as “NaNoWriMo,” which poses the challenge of completing a 50,000-word novel in one month’s time. “It’s difficult to make sure you have time to do this,” said Nora Marino, sophomore in LAS. “To be able to balance schoolwork and writing and decide what’s more important.” Before beginning NaNoWriMo, Marino established
three facts: she wasn’t going to have a life in November, she would have good time management and keep up with homework, and she would get up early to write as much as she could. Marino, who has been published in The Mochila Review, an international literary magazine for undergraduates, is writing a science fiction, fantasy novel about a society that heavily uses science to create “crazy things,” such as the three dragons that the story revolves around. Immediately after the dragons were created by the three main characters, all of the power in the world failed, making the planet uninhabitable. The group flies all over
Europe in search of materials that can be used to send people to another inhabitable land. “I don’t think this draft will ever be published because when you’re writing this fast, it’s more of quantity over quality,” Marino said. “My character can talk about the sky five times in a row and I’m not going to argue with her.” NaNoWriMo has a website where participants can register to track their progress, interact with fellow writers and search for write-ins in their area. A write-in is a group that meets at a certain time each week to write and can be found all over the world. Rachel Davis is a mem-

This is her first time participating in NaNoWriMo, although she has participated in JuNoWriMo, a NaNoWriMo spin-off that takes place in June. “The biggest struggle is going to be getting to 50,000 words,” she said. “I tend to normally write shorter things like novellas just because plotting out that much and actually writing that much — I’m not very good at long stuff.” Davis completed an outline for her novel before Nov. 1 so that she only had to focus on writing when the month

trying to break a little bit of that, say that the identity is that we are a community and that we do things together.” For Winters, the Folk and Roots Festival is also a way to come together as a community to benefit Urbana. “I think the festival is meant to be a community festival as well in the sense that we use these venues throughout downtown Urbana and support the local businesses in that way, getting people to move between them and to create street life on a sometimes cold, November evening,” he said.

That means that people could actively participate in it. And to us, we feel strongly that folk music is a participatory type of music. Anybody could do it and anybody should do it.

Illinois will win on Friday, and they’ll win their first four regular season games as well. Division II Quincy
will be no match for the Illini, and the four November home games against weak opponents are nothing but tuneups for tougher competition that awaits. But don’t let anyone tell you these first few games aren’t important. These tune-ups will give fans a look at the team in action and an idea of what might be in store for the rest of the season. But more importantly, they give head coach John Groce a blueprint for how to attack the more rigorous portions of the nonconference schedule and beyond. Illinois will (hopefully) have large leads in the first five games at State Farm Center, allowing Groce to be

On Wednesday evening in West Lafayette, Indiana, Illinois soccer’s Cinderella story ended before it could even begin. While two lower-seeded teams won against their opponents earlier in the day Wednesday in the first round of the Big Ten tournament, the No. 7-seeded Illini couldn’t continue the trend, losing 2-0 to Wisconsin, the tournament’s No. 2 seed and the No. 11 team in the country. While Illinois started off hot and controlled the tempo of play early in the game, the defense unraveled 25 minutes in. Wisconsin’s Kodee Williams dribbled past several Illinois defenders and tucked the ball inside of the left post, giving the Badgers a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. “That’s been kind of an Achilles’ heal for us all season long, our individual defending,� head coach Janet Rayfield said. “It cost us big tonight.� Cara Walls finished off the scoring 30 minutes into the game as she dribbled in from the right flank to flick a shot past Illinois goalkeeper Claire Wheatley. The Illini would rally to start the second half, firing off six shots in the span of 15 minutes. But despite keeping the Badgers on their toes for most of the second half, Illinois was unable to put any of its 12 shots in the net. The Illini came close to scoring on two occasions, as efforts from strikers Jan-
nelle Flaws and Amy Feher would be saved by Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year Genevieve Richard. Flaws failed to score for the fourth consecutive game, ending the season on her longest goal drought in more than a year. “We made some mistakes defensively, gave the ball away and Wisconsin is a good team,� Rayfield said. “They’re going to capitalize on those and they certainly capitalized on those in the first half and then we’re behind the eight ball at that point. They defended well, as they have done all season long and that’s why they’re advancing and we’ll go home.� With this loss, Illinois has little hope of receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Missing the tournament would mark only the third time in Rayfield’s 13-year tenure at Illinois that the Illini failed to reach the tournament. Rayfield and her team will have the consolation of having gained experience after an adversity-filled season riddled with concussions, ankle injuries and leg fractures. “Next time, we’ll be better for the lessons we have learned this season,� she said. “What we have to hope for now is that they take everything that they’ve learned this season, the heartaches that came along with it, and learn from that and are better when we step on the field next season.�

Crawford continues to lead women’s basketball BY BRETT LERNER STAFF WRITER
DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO
Illinois’ Ivory Crawford attempts a shot during the game at State Farm Center on Feb. 16. Crawford was one of the Illini’s leading scorers and rebounders last season.
Ivory Crawford is competitive in every sense of the word. During Big Ten Media Day in October, Crawford looked around and joked that she wanted to go recruit more reporters to her table because reporters crowding around other tables meant competition for her. Going into her senior season, all Crawford wants to do is compete and win. Last season, Crawford was pressured to not only be the Illinois women’s basketball team’s leading scorer, but also one of its leaders in rebounding and assists. With a bolstered Illini roster, Crawford will have more of a chance to play within herself this season and expand on her own game. “(Our depth) is going to make a huge difference for (Crawford), she is going to feel like she can just do what
she has to do,� head coach Matt Bollant said. “I think Ivory sometimes wants to win so bad that she’ll sometimes try to do too much.� Bollant is known for having some of the toughest, most intense practices of any team in the country. The practice style is something Bollant and his staff brought with them from UW-Green Bay, and to no surprise, Crawford is a fan. “We’ve seen some of the Big Ten’s practices and it’s not like ours. It’s never gamelike. We’re always competing like we’re losing,� said Crawford. Crawford isn’t the only returning Illini who felt pressure to play outside of her game last season. Sophomore forward Jacqui Grant was the only true post player the program had last year. Although it’s well within her skill set to be one of the top rebounders on a team, being the only option is never easy. The
addition of true center Chatrice White will allow Grant to move back to the four spot, something she’s more comfortable with. “Certainly being able to play the four position is going to help her a great deal,� Bollant said. “She can really step out and shoot it. She’s great feeding the post.� With so many new faces on the team between recruits and transfers, returners like Crawford and Grant will be expected to lead both on and off the court. The duty of leadership is expected to fall mostly on the competition-driven Crawford, who is one of four returning seniors. “First you have to look at yourself and prove what you can do best, so you can get that respect and so you can get the responses you need,� Crawford said. When talking to Crawford, the conversation always makes its way back to win-

Even when personal accolades are brought up, Crawford just wants those accomplishments to go toward team success. Crawford reached 1,000 career points in the Big Ten tournament matchup with Iowa, which made her the 27th player in the program’s history to reach the feat. She was only the 15th of those players to reach the milestone with eligibility still remaining. “I didn’t even know I passed 1,000 points. When they said it, it threw me

Hardee and Dudek share bond beyond football BY TORRENCE SORRELL ON-AIR SPORTS EDITOR
“Respect is not given it’s earned.� That was the mindset of Illinois junior wide receiver Justin Hardee during the start of the offseason after undergoing a 4-8 season a year ago. At a practice in late January, wide receivers were running routes with the quarterbacks. Although the workout was voluntary, Hardee noticed one freshman whose speed resembled his Twitter handle: “Flash.� It was Naperville, Illinois, native Mike Dudek, or as head coach Tim Beckman calls him “Mikey.� “After seeing how he moved and how athletic he was, I knew he was going to be a special guy for us,� Hardee said. Hardee walked toward the
freshman receiver during that first practice and said, “What’s up man, I like your style of game.� Dudek was surprised. “Oh, for real,� he said. He was aware of Hardee’s game, but never had a prior relationship with him. “Watching him previous years, he’s a good athlete,� Dudek said. “I heard about his mother that passed away in December, so I know it’s been a tough time for him. For him to come out there and talk to me like that, I thought that was pretty sweet,� Hardee’s mother, Estella Perryman, passed away a month prior to that practice at the age of 55 from a lung disease that had plagued her for more than a decade. The two receivers exchanged numbers after practice. Hardee text-

Hiltzik looks for redemption in ITA Championships BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER
The Illinois men’s tennis team will wrap up the fall season at the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships this week. There will be strong competition from around the country at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in Flushing, New York — the home of the U.S. Open. Jared Hiltzik will compete in the singles bracket, while Tim Kopinski and Ross Guignon will compete in doubles. Hiltzik qualified for the tournament after taking second at the ITA Midwest Regional Championships three weeks ago. At that tournament, Hiltzik lost to Ohio State’s Mikael Torpegaard. Hiltzik is back in New York for the Championships for the second consecutive year. Last year, Hiltzik reached the finals of the tournament, where he lost to UCLA’s Clay Thompson. Before that, Hiltzik went on a tear, knocking off two of the country’s

BASKETBALL work on offensive sets and defensive principles against your own teammates in practice, and another to execute them against actual live opponents. The cupcake games should show who is ready to compete. One of the more disturbing trends we can take away from Groce’s first two seasons in Champaign has been the inability to put away inferior teams. In

Now, Hiltizk comes in as the one of the nation’s top-ranked players. “It’s always good to be in surroundings you’ve been successful in before,� head coach Brad Dancer said. “Jared hasn’t played that well this fall, and this is a chance to end the fall on a high note.� Hiltizk played at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center’s outdoor courts at the start of the season for the inaugural American Collegiate Invitational. He was brought in as a last-minute alternate, but he suffered a first-round loss, once again to Thompson. Hiltzik has had an upand-down fall. While he had a nice semi-final run at the Midwest Regional Championships, he’s currently on a five-match losing streak after the Texas A&M Conference Challenge. The tournament field is stacked. Eight players from the preseason top 10 will be competing. Dancer said
When: Thursday to Sunday, Billie Jean King Tennis Center, Flushing, N.Y. Quick notes: No. 6 Jared Hiltzik is coming off a five-match losing streak, and No. 2 doubles pair
Tim Kopinski and Ross Guignon have only played together a few times this fall. Hidden stat: Last year, Hiltzik reached the finals at this tournament, becoming the fifth Illini ever to do so. Kopinski and Guingon reached the semifinals.
Hiltzik faces a tough opponent in the first round, No. 28 Ryan Shane of Virginia. Shane was a member of the Cavalier team that finished ranked fourth in the nation last year. He received a bid to the tournament after winning the ITA Atlantic Regional. Shane also won the doubles title at the Atlantic Regional with partner Luca Corinteli. In their first match, Kopinski and Guignon will also face Virginia’s Shane, along
with Corinteli. It’s their third time playing together this fall season after the Conference Challenge and making the consolation finals at the All-American Championships. If they get past their first match, they’ll face No. 5 Nick Chappell and Will Stein of TCU, a pair that defeated them at All-Americans. Kopinski and Guignon also had a lot of success at this tournament last year with a semifinals appearance. They lost to Mikelis Libietis and
his first season, it seemed that Groce’s three-pointeroriented offensive scheme lacked the consistency to blow out weaker teams on a regular basis. This was apparent in games against teams like Gardner-Webb, Western Carolina and Norfolk State, against whom the Illini pulled out uncomfortable home wins. Last season, Groce’s team simply lacked the firepower to overwhelm many inferior teams — games against IPFW, Dartmouth and UIC come to mind — and was
forced to grind its way to several ugly victories. Once again, the Illini’s flaws were exposed early in the year. Those too-close-for-comfort contests should have been huge warning signs that Illinois would struggle in Big Ten play. This year, the Illini look to have enough outside shooting, talent and consistency to get by inferior opponents with more lopsided results than the last two seasons have shown. If they toil for a third straight year with the small-conference direc-
tional schools, be prepared for another inconsistent year in conference play. The good news is, with the personnel they currently have, this Illini team should have an easier time coasting against weaker opponents this season. The good news doesn’t end there. Last Sunday, Illinois participated in a “secret scrimmage� with Dayton at a neutral site in Indianapolis. Though the event was closed to fans and media, multiple sources informed me that the Illini

DUDEK Even though he doesn’t have to, Hardee embraces the role. “I told his parents that Mikey is my little brother, so I got him no matter what,� Hardee said. After the spring game, Lynn also noticed one feature on Hardee that immediately stood out. “I think he had his mom’s name written on his cheek; it just broke my heart,� she said. “He’s a child doing it and making it, and his mom must have been an amazing woman because he is an amazing kid.� She can also relate to Hardee, given that she lost her mother when she was 21 years old. Lynn takes initiative to give him a warm welcome for every game and she has yet to miss one this season. “Every time I see him, I give

him a hug and a kiss on a cheek and tell him that he’s kicking butt, and continue to work hard,� she said. The Illinois coaching staff alternates roommates at the team’s hotel for every game to encourage players to learn something new about each other. Dudek and Hardee were roommates for the first game of the season against Youngstown State. Dudek would often text Hardee for advice after a tough loss or ask to join him to watch film after a game. Some of the advice Hardee preaches to the freshman receiver is to have the determination to work until the next play. If a player sits on that play, he’s going to have a bad rest of the day. Starting as a true freshman teaches Dudek how to grow up fast in the game of football. Hardee’s advice stems from his own role models from his freshmen year: former Illini wide
receiver’s Steve Hull and Darius Millines, and defensive-backs Justin Green and Terry Hawthorne. “I tell (Dudek) to keep his head up, and as a receiving core, we always have his back,� Hardee said. Hardee and Dudek’s relationship extends beyond the game of football, despite growing up in two different areas. Growing up in Cleveland, Hardee has always been a Browns and Cavaliers fan, while Dudek is a Chicago Bulls and a “die-hard� Bears fan. Lynn Dudek takes care of Hardee as if he was her third son. “He’s been there for Mikey since day one,� Lynn said. “I would ask, ‘What can I do? Is everything going OK? How can I help you?’� The same thing goes for Mike Dudek, who has grandparents who live roughly 30 minutes away from Hardee’s residence in Cleveland.

Though details about secret scrimmages are usually scarce, it’s encouraging that Illinois was able to get the best of a Dayton team that reached the Elite Eight last year. Getting the chance to face tough competition before the season begins can only be a valuable experience for an Illini squad that will face more than its share of challenges as the season goes on.
So enjoy the exhibition game on Friday and the four home games after that. Many fans wait until the marquee games to truly pay attention, but you can learn a lot about the team from these early-season games.

“I told (Dudek) that whenever he comes to Ohio, that I was going to take him out and we can work out and do stuff like that,� Hardee said. The freshman receiver has big dreams of making it to the All Big-Ten First Team. Dudek has already been one of the Illini’s gems so far this season, having big games against Western Kentucky and Purdue. This past Saturday against Ohio State, Dudek broke the single-season record for an Illini freshman receiver, with 707 yards on the year. Standing side-by-side, the two numbers read “18 and 19,� Hardee’s being one number above Dudek’s. This may not at all be a coincidence, given that Dudek looks up to Hardee as a big brother.

Hockey looks for rapid improvements BY DANIEL DEXTER
Illinois vs. Aurora
STAFF WRITER
After two weeks of grueling battles against division opponents, the Illinois hockey team will return home to take on an unfamiliar foe this weekend. NCAA Division III Aurora University will visit the Illinois Ice Arena for a two-game series against the Illini. Aurora is playing its first season in the NCAA after previously competing in the ACHA Division II. Illinois head coach Nick Fabbrini said he doesn’t quite know what to expect from Aurora because it will have a very different team this year. Instead, Fabbrini will keep his focus on improving his team, which is on a threegame losing streak to CSCHL. “We definitely have a lot of room for improvement, but for having such a young team, I think we have done okay for our first four division games,� Fabbrini said. “Everybody in here knows we can do better, so we are working our way towards that.� One aspect of their game the Illini are looking to improve is their shot count. Illinois has been outshot in its
to end its three-game losing streak this weekend. Hidden stat: Illinois has been outshot in its last four games 79-132.
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday at Illinois Ice Arena Quick notes: Illinois looks last four games. Of those four games, Illinois won only one, in which it was outshout 44-12. Fabbrini is addressing the problem from the offensive side of the ice. He has had his team work a lot more on finishing when taking both initial shots and on rebound opportunities. “We are emphasizing getting pucks in the net every chance we get,� Fabbrini said. “Whether it’s on the rush or from bad angles, we want to make goalies try to make as many saves as possible.� Center Josh Belmont said the team is facing similar issues as last season’s team, except last year, it took the team longer to overcome its issue. He believes that the team demonstrated that it can improve quickly in the second game of the Lindenwood series. Despite losing 2-1, the team did not make as many mistakes as it did in the series opener.
Another area of their game that the Illini will be looking to rapidly improve is their power play. The team has not had success in converting power play opportunities into goals, which has also been a contributing factor in their recent losses. Belmont said that it has been tough for the team to adjust to different styles of play from opposing teams on special teams, but the team has been making progress. On Wednesday, Fabbrini dedicated the entire practice toward working on power play and penalty kill. He has been experimenting with different lines on the ice during special teams in an attempt to find one that clicks. “It’s kind of a fluid thing. We have definitely had good looks on the power play,� Fabbrini said. “It hasn’t been for a lack of opportunities that we aren’t scoring goals. So we just have to find the right

Belmont, however, doesn’t expect the Spartans to be the team’s toughest competition this season because of how lit-
tle time they had to put together a team of NCAA caliber. He is expecting the Illini to get back to their winning ways this weekend. “I think we should run through Aurora, personally,� Belmont said. “I would be seriously impressed if they
are putting out a team like Ohio. I have high hopes for this weekend. Plus, we need a turnaround. We can’t have another loss.�

Volleyball loses to Northwestern in 5 sets STAFF WRITER
The streak is over. The No. 9 Illinois volleyball team lost to Northwestern in five sets by scores of 20-25, 22-25, 25-16, 25-15 and 11-15 in Evanston, Illinois, on Wednesday night, snapping a seven-match winning streak in the process. Although the Illini (18-6, 10-3 Big Ten) came into the match having won nine of their last 11 matches against the Wildcats (15-9, 5-8), Illinois continued the trend of underperforming at Northwestern. The loss is the Illini’s second in a row at WelshRyan Arena. The first set of the match

points from Northwestern that allowed the Wildcats to take the second set in the same way they took the first. Northwestern pounced on Illinois in the first two sets on the way to a 2-0 set lead going into the break. Coming out of the second and third set break, the Illini played like a completely different team. The third set was as closely contested as the first two early on. Illinois mounted a 5-1 run to take a 12-9 lead before going on a 10-4 run to widen the lead to 22-13. Northwestern scored two unanswered points to cut the lead to 22-15, but the Illini eventually took the third set. In the fourth set, just as had been the case in the first three, the Illini and the Wildcats traded the lead back and forth early on. As had been the case in the third set, Illinois pulled away from Northwestern as the set
progressed. After a tie at 11 points, the Illini went on a 10-1 run to build a 21-12 lead. From there, Illinois held off Northwestern and sealed the set. As was the case for the entire match, the fifth set was closely contested. Illinois and Northwestern went back and forth with ties at seven and nine points apiece. After a 3-0 run the Wildcats took a 12-9 that they would not relinquish for the rest of the match. Illinois’ offense was extremely balanced on the night as the Illini had five players record seven or more kills. Junior outside hitter Jocelynn Birks and senior outside hitter Morganne Criswell led the way for the Illini offensively as they finished with 14 and 13 kills, respectively. Neither team played extremely well on the offensive end as the Illinois and

Northwestern finished with respective hitting percentages of .188 and .125. On the defensive side of the ball, sophomore middle blocker Katie Stadick helped slow down the Wildcats with 12 block assists on the night. But even Stadick’s effort and the team’s 18 blocks couldn’t stop the Wildcats, who emerged with the win. Illinois will get a chance to exact revenge fairly soon though, as Northwestern will travel to Champaign this Saturday for a match at Huff Hall. Illinois was a game back of Big Ten leader Wisconsin, prior to the loss. Even with the slip up on Wednesday, there are still seven games remaining on the schedule.

was extremely close early on as there were five ties within the first six points. Illinois expanded its lead to 9-6 before Northwestern closed the gap and tied the set at 13. From there the Wildcats made a run of their own, opening an 18-15 lead. Illinois cut the lead to 21-20, but couldn’t make it any closer. Northwestern scored four unanswered points and went on to take the first set. In the second set, Northwestern jumped out to an early 3-0 lead before Illinois bounced back to tie the set at six. The lead changed back and forth throughout the set as the Illini and the Wildcats each mounted small runs to retake the lead. Illinois tied the match at both 20 and 21 points a piece and even took a 22-21 lead, but again couldn’t stop a late swing of four unanswered
