State police investigate underage consumption

Dorm room decor

On the eve of the drinking holiday Polar Bear, state police released the results of an investigation into southern Illinois businesses on their alcohol selling practices.

The investigation involved looking into businesses that had been accused of selling alcohol to minors. A total of 23 stores in Benton, West Frankfort, Sesser, Whittington, Christopher, Ziegler and Royalton were investigated. Of these stores, three of them were cited for unlawful delivery of alcohol to a minor. Carbondale was not among the investigated towns, but is still dealing with underage alcohol consumption.

According to Carbondale City Ordinance, there is a minimum $250 fine for an underage possession or consumption offense. Someone who provides alcohol to a minor can receive a penalty of up to $2,500 and one year in jail, according to Illinois State Police data.

A report released by the Local Liquor Control Commission in August showed Pinch Penny Pub having 64 liquor law violations, Sidetracks having 63 and Cali’s/Saluki Bar having 37 between July of 2012 and June of 2013. The Liquor Law Commission in Carbondale expressed concerned in the August City Council Meeting.

Department of Public Safety Lieutenant Harold Tucker said when it comes to issuing citations for underage alcohol consumption, many times the culprits come to them and not the other way around.

“Basically we will come across underage drinkers in our daily routine of patrolling the campus area,” Tucker said. “Many times we find them because they were involved with something else, like maybe a fight.”

Tucker said DPS often finds underage drinkers in other situations involving domestic issues or property damage. Often times, he said they are just outside the residence halls on a picnic bench.

Students’ return boosts area businessAs students return from school, local

businesses look to make up lost ground from winter break and grueling weather conditions.

On Sunday, Jan. 5, southern Illinois was hit with a winter storm, bringing with it three inches of snow and temperatures stooping as low as 6 degrees. !e following day temperatures fell to as low as minus 2 degrees with winds gusting up to 33 mph.

Chad Trisler, director of Student rights and responsibilities, said Carbondale Police, DPS and state police report to his department when a student gets a ticket. At that point, he said the student gets sent a notice.

“Students then have the opportunity to either request a hearing and say ‘wait there is more detail to it’ or ‘that’s not me they have the wrong name’ or they can accept responsibility for it and say ‘yes that was me,” Trisler said.

Trisler said from the point they own up to their o!ense or not, Student Right and Responsibilities tries to educate and not punish.

“We don’t want to mess with anyone’s life or anything,” Trisler said.

Students who are "rst o!enders go to the Wellness Center where they do two one-hour classes that inform them about the downsides of drinking alcohol, Trisler said.

“Basically our goal is to make sure they know how alcohol a!ects the learning process, what the laws are, what the health e!ects are,” Trisler said. “We are not trying to tell people to never drink again, we are just trying to help them make responsible decisions.”

Jawana Green, a hearing

o#cer with Student Rights and Responsibilities, said her department does not get too involved with the classes because con"dentiality is important for the process.

“$at gives the students the ability to go to the Wellness Center and be honest, and share what’s going on because there could be some background things happening that’s causing their behavior,” Green said. “At the end of the day we want people to learn about the situations.”

Green said she recommends students browse the student code of conduct so they are aware of their rights. She said it is put into place to help students.

“It’s not about saying ‘go to this or go do that’ but about really learning from it,” she said.

Trisler said there are usually more serious issues going on for repeat offenders. In this case, he said, one-on-one counseling is provided for as long as the counselor deems necessary.

“At that point we get concerned if there is an alcohol problem,” Trisler said. “We know that is one of the biggest reasons students don’t graduate.”

Pebbles Prince, an undecided freshman from Chicago, said she believes underage drinking is not a bigger problem in Carbondale in

comparison to other college campuses.“I think all colleges, not just

Carbondale, see a lot of underage drinkers,” Prince said.

Prince said one issue is that older students often buy alcohol for younger students. Krystal

Arnold, a freshman from Chicago studying psychology, said an issue she recognizes is the age students are allowed to enter a bar.

“I think it’s easy to drink underage because you only have to be 19 to get into a bar,” Arnold

said. “I think it’s not any more of a problem anywhere else.”

ALCOHOL CONTINUED FROM 1

Lance Jack, owner of Fat Patties and a member of the Carbondale City Council, says business can be di#cult during breaks and the weather doesn’t help anything.

“It makes a slow time even slower,” he said, describing the di#culties of running a small local business in a college town.

Because small businesses like Fat Patties lack the funding in comparison to larger corporation or chain restaurants, occurrences such as last week’s storm and winter break can play a greater role in a!ecting production, Jack said.

As university classes return to session and students travel back to Carbondale, Jack wants to remind people to get out and support local businesses. He said if people want a diverse selection, its important to be involved in their community.

“We as a business continue to try to emphasize to residents to shop locally,” Jack said.

Stars of ‘!e Following’ admit to nightmares

PASADENA — Anyone who gets nightmares from Fox’s creepy thriller “$e Following” isn’t alone. $e two stars say it happens to them, too.

Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy both said Monday they take work home with them sometimes. Bacon plays former FBI agent Ryan Hardy, who’s on the trail of a sadistic serial killer played by Purefoy in the series, which attracted attention

for violence in its debut season but also had strong ratings. “$e Following” returns for its second season on Sunday.

“He’s so profoundly dark,” Purefoy said of his character, Joe Carroll. “Anybody who celebrates death and "nds great beauty in it, absolutely, there are some fretful nights.”

Jessica Stroup, who plays a police o#cer, said there was something so disturbing that happens to her character

this season that it was hard to shake.She can sleep soundly, but she’s

looking at her surroundings more carefully while awake, she said.

Series creator Kevin Williamson, the man behind the “Scream” movies, said he "nds the second season less violent than the "rst, at least by his standards. $e "rst episode contains a violent incident on a subway by a character in a creepy mask.

Ten signs you are graduating in May

1. You spent a lot of your winter break answering the question “what’s next?” And you pretty much gave a di*erent answer each time. Grad school is a good go-to answer, even if you have not ,lled out a single application.

2. !inking about what is next when you leave the safe haven of college throws you into a panic attack. Maybe you should ,ll out one of those applications.

3. You check Salukinet frequently to make sure you are actually going to graduate in May. Your advisor assured you that you are on track, but you still do the math about a hundred times.

4. Even though you have checked to make sure you are going to graduate, you had no idea where any

of your classes were this week, and chances are you were late to them all. What happened to the freshman who found the classroom the week before and was on time with paper and a working pen?

5. Speaking of not being a freshman anymore, you keep telling yourself you are not going to procrastinate this semester because you can no longer pull o* all-nighters. !at one last semester took you a week to recover from.

6. You are looking forward to Polar Bear not only because it involves day drinking with your friends, but because there will be naps and you will be in bed before midnight.

7. You openly admit that spending the night on the couch with wine and friends is considerably more fun than pushing your way through the crowd of what looks like middle schoolers

who frequent the bars.8. Your news feed is ,lled with

engagements and babies. Because of that, you have learned to avoid social media on holidays - especially New Year’s Day - when the announcements come.

9. It seems like all of your friends are growing up and being successful, yet your biggest accomplishment of the day is ,tting in a nap.

10. But do not worry. Before that big day in May, before you have to start paying o* those student loans and before you have to ,nd your own success, you have one semester left. So scream our generation’s battle cry - YOLO - to the sky and go out a winner. Plus you still have one more spring break to look forward to, even though you will most likely feel ancient wherever you go. “Spring Break Forever.”

@KBurgstahler_DE and @jfsaunders

And now, the conclusion of the Best of 2013 list…

#5: “The Way, Way Back”

Sam Rockwell is another actor likely to be overlooked this year in his role as Owen in “!e Way, Way Back.” He’s a supporting character to Duncan (Liam James), a teenager who learns to come out of his shell over a vacation at his mom’s jerk boyfriend’s summer home. Steve Carell plays the jerk, a role he owns despite playing against type. Rockwell plays Owen, a waterpark owner who gives Duncan a job and ends up becoming a father "gure for him. “!e Way, Way Back” captures the angst and worry of the teenage years without being melodramatic, and will make audiences remember both the good and bad times of adolescence. !ere wasn’t a better movie last summer.

#4: “Prisoners”

!e ‘90s were good to audiences in the thriller genre, giving "lms like “Se7en” and “Silence of the Lambs.” But Hollywood could not "gure out how to replicate those powerful movies for more than a decade, until “Prisoners,” a master’s class in how to assemble a thriller, came out in September. “Prisoners” follows Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman), a man who "nds his daughter and her friend has been kidnapped. After the cops fail to hold on to the prime suspect, a loner named Alex (Paul Dano), Dover convinces himself it’s his responsibility to break the man. Along the way Dover must contend with Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal), who seems more interested in discovering Dover’s secrets than the missing girls. “Prisoners” moves gracefully from scene to scene, throwing o# the audience’s scent until the "nal reveal. !e ice-cold cinematography and the stunning performances make this one of the best thrillers in years.

#3: “12 Years a Slave”

In “12 Years,” director Steve McQueen strips away anything that might romanticize the pre-Civil War south to tell the true tale of Solomon Northup, a free black man living in the north that is kidnapped and sold into slavery. !e result is a brutal picture of slave owners who torture their victims just because they can, and a situation that, in the end, is hopeless, even if the audience is promised Northup’s eventual freedom. Chiwetel Ejiofor is the audience’s guide through the nightmare, and he deserves the Best Actor Oscar he’s likely to receive. !e slave owners — Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch — are unhinged, even if they try to act composed. Newcomer Lupita Nyong’o is captivating as Patsey, the object of Fassbender’s unwanted attention, and Paul Dano plays another creep here, this time as an

overseer. It all makes for a movie audiences will probably watch through their "ngers, but gives them the stark look at this dark mark on American history it needs to have.

#2: “American Hustle”

David O. Russell is quickly becoming known for his big casts and heavy accents, and both "t quite well together here. !ey’re bonded by the best screenplay of the year and several over-the-top performances that show the cast was having just as much fun making the movie as audiences do watching it. Christian Bale and Christian Bale’s comb-over co-star as Irving Rosenfeld, a con man who works with Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) to grift thousands from desperate investors. After being caught by FBI agent Richie Di Masio (Bradley Cooper), the two are forced to work on a con targeting corrupt public o$cials. Jennifer Lawrence also stars as Rosenfeld’s neglected wife Rosalyn, and Lawrence chews the scenery with precision here. Every time she’s on screen the movie is elevated three notches. Not that it’s not already on high gear everywhere else. Every element of "lmmaking — the score, the cast, the cinematography — matches like a complicated puzzle, and Russell keeps the movie &awless even as the con begins to unravel around his players.

#1: “Gravity”

“Gravity” is the best case for movie theaters adding seatbelts to the chairs. !at might sound over-the-top, but the movie is just as much a thrill ride as it is an example of master "lmmaking. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are the only humans on screen, and even Clooney doesn’t get much screen time — as Dr. Ryan Stone, Bullock is left to her own devices to survive after debris destroys a shuttle she’s working on in space. Her quest for survival forces her to re&ect on her own life and try to think of something even worth living for. Director Alfonso Cuaron’s camera &oats along with the actors, resulting a 13-minute opening sequence absent of cuts and several stunning tracking sequences, including one where Bullock makes her way through a cramped space station that has caught "re. And while the camerawork may be by far “Gravity”’s most stunning asset, the movie works because Bullock plays the ultimate heroine. !e audience is given something to live for through her, helping give humanity to the horror. It’s certainly been a great year at the movies, but “Gravity” is the movie no other studio will come close to replicating for years.

Eighteen high schools from around Illinois came to Carbondale High School Saturday  for the 53rd annual Murdale Wrestling Invitational.

"e tournament featured nearly 200 wrestlers in 14 weight classes ranging from 106 to 285 pounds. Wrestlers from 10 di#erent schools were able to claim the top prize in their respective weight classes.

Carbondale Community High School is tied with Edwardsville High School for 10 wins throughout the tournament’s history, but Edwardsville no longer competes at the Murdale Wrestling Invitational because the team has begun competing in out-of-state tournaments.

We have got a lot of kids here from great schools, and several ranked wrestlers,” Dennis Ragan, Carbondale wrestling coach, said. “Each year we try to bring in some top schools from around the state like Cahokia and Chatham-Glenwood, and we’ve got to keep those schools coming in to keep the level of competition up or teams will head to other tournaments.

Marion High School earned its $rst win in the tournament’s history with 168.5 points.  Waterloo High School took second place with 155 points, and Cahokia High School took third with 153.3 points. "e host school, Carbondale, took seventh.

“We wrestled as a team,” Brandon Page, Marion wrestling coach, said. “We only had one champion so the fact that we won overall is really impressive. We proved that we’re tough today.” 

Page said the Murdale Tournament win was the biggest in his school’s wrestling history.   

“Next we need to win regionals,” he said.

Marion’s only Champion of the tournament was Luke Abbot, who beat Benton’s Daniel Krug 7-2 in the 145-pound weight class $nals.

“Luke is a kid who has come a long way,” Page said.  “When he $rst started with us he couldn’t win a match, now he’s 23-2 and a tournament champion.”

Highland High School Senior Tanner Farmer, a 2A state champion in the heavyweight class, won the 285-pound weight class and was also named the tournament’s most valuable wrestler. Farmer defeated Altho# Catholic High School’s Rodney Baker by a second-round pin fall. "is was Farmer’s second consecutive Murdale

tournament victory. Farmer said his $nal round

match against Baker was not much of a challenge for him. Farmer will attend the University of Nebraska in the fall, where he will play football for the Cornhuskers.

"e tournament featured several other past champions, including Cahokia High School’s Shelton Pippen and Tristan Penrod of Mt. Vernon High School. "e two past champions met each other in the Finals of the 220-pound weight

class this year with Penrod beating Pippen four to two in the victory.

  While the boys usually dominate wrestling tournaments, the tournament did feature one female, freshman Lacey Markley from Sparta High School. Markley, who wrestles in the 113-pound weight class, said her brother Tyler Markley, who also wrestles for Sparta, along with her mom talked her into joining the team.

  “I enjoy the challenge of wrestling against the boys,”

Markley said.Markley said she gets most of her

wins by forfeit because sometimes the boys will not wrestle her.

“"ey still count as wins though,” Markley said.

Markley was eliminated in the second round of the tournament by pin fall.

After 388 matches and more than 10 straight hours of wrestling from the top prep wrestlers in the area, the 53rd Murdale Wrestling Invitational was down for the count.

The Murdale Wrestling Tournament featured wrestlers from 18 schools in the southern Illinois and St. Louis area.

Senior guard Desmar Jackson goes in for a layup against Egidiju Mockevicius Saturday during the Salukis 75-69 loss to the University of Evansville at SIU Arena. Jackson put up 13 points during the game. The Salukis will take on Northern Iowa at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday at SIU Arena.

SARAH SCHNEIDER · DAILY EGYPTIAN

For the !rst time since December, it was a relatively quiet week away from the court for the SIU men’s basketball team.

"e Salukis were able to beat conference newcomer Loyola University on the road Wednesday, but could not stop D.J. Balentine and the University of Evansville Purple Aces Saturday.

"e Salukis have not been a 3-point shooting team this season but thought they were in Saturday’s loss to Evansville.  SIU attempted 25 3-pointers and only converted seven. Junior guard Mike Balogun had !ve of them. SIU basketball coach Barry Hinson said a good number for attempted 3-pointers is 15 per game. 

"e Purple Aces played  a lot of zone defense against the Salukis Saturday, which led to the many 3-pointers attempted.  Hinson said in the second half of the loss, the Salukis had the ball in the paint 11 times and they scored

all 11 possessions.  "ey only scored on possessions outside of the paint once.

Sophomore guard Jalen Pendleton was put in the starting line-up Saturday but did not have his best game. Hinson said he does not want to have Pendleton starting because he is a key player o$ of the bench. Pendleton is currently second on the team in points during conference play with 10.3 points per game. 

Senior guard Desmar Jackson has been playing a considerable number of minutes the last two games. He played 37 minutes in the loss. Hinson said Jackson was sluggish toward the end of the game. Even so, Jackson’s numbers have stayed steady. His rebounds and assists have gone up and he leads the MVC in steals.

More players were getting minutes in Saturday’s game with freshman guard Marcus Fillyaw out with a hand injury. Balogun and junior guard Dawson Verhines were able to reap the rewards of more playing time. Verhines played well in his limited role.

"e post position could be a concern for the Salukis going forward. Senior center Davante Drinkard’s minutes keep diminishing, and freshman Bola Olaniyan is not getting the same playing time he was a few weeks ago. Hinson has said repeatedly each player must play hard in practice or they will not get playing time.

Sophomore guard Anthony Beane has played well the past two conference games but he needs to be more vocal on the court, Hinson said. He said Beane could go a whole game without saying anything.

“If you went to church with Anthony Beane, the only thing you may hear is ‘Amen’ and that would be after the preacher said it,” Hinson said.

Hinson said he did not think UNI was as good as Wichita State University but the Panthers could beat them.
