to provide additional services. Christopher Julian-Fralish, coordinator of student health services at SIU and H Group board member, said the SIU Counseling Center offers services similar to the H Group. “As far as goals for the H Group and those I have personally working at the counseling center, there are similarities and differences,� he said. “I believe that both work toward assisting people to make better lives for themselves.� Julian-Fralish said the main difference between the two groups is that the H Group works to meet the needs of people who sometimes find it difficult to access services because of financial issues, while the counseling center meets the needs of students who pay for the services through student fees. However, he said both groups have collaborated in numerous ways over the years. “There have been both research and programmatic partnerships in the past,� he said. “The H Group serves as a practicum and internship training site for numerous SIU students, (and) members of the H Group and SIU serve on several community coalitions together.�
The holiday shopping season is off to a record start. Businesses nationwide began to offer special sales as early as Thanksgiving evening and continued on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday to kick off the busiest shopping time of the year. A record 247 million shoppers — a 9.2 percent increase from last year — took advantage of the offers and visited stores and websites during the four-day weekend, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation. Customers nationwide spent a combined $59.1 billion between Thursday and Sunday, which is a 12.8 percent increase from last year. Sherry Taylor, director of the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce, said the weekend benefited Carbondale businesses. “To me, it looked like the economic impact was pretty big for the area,� she said. “I drove past the mall and several shopping centers in Carbondale, and the parking lots were full. Obviously, this is exciting because the sales tax dollars help the city and allow us to improve roads and city services.� Several independently owned businesses tried to get a share of the record-setting revenue by offering specials on Small Business Saturday, a nationwide shopping day created by American Express in 2010 that aims to draw attention to smaller retailers. More than two dozen Carbondale stores registered to participate in the event. “I think it’s important for people to consider it because the small businesses are owned locally, and the money stays local,� said Rick Reeve, owner of Shawnee Trails. “I think the small businesses make towns unique and give shoppers more opportunities.� Reeve, who said his store offered a couple of sales, said his business had a good turnout Saturday despite seeing very little business Friday. He said he believes customers tend to choose big-box retailers Friday before giving their attention to the smaller stores the day after. “There were a lot of people out who voiced that they were excited to shop on Small Business Saturday,� he said. “It was encouraging. We were getting business just because of the kind of store we are.� Doug McDonald, owner of Phoenix Cycles, said his store also saw a business increase. He said he did not offer many incentives to customers because it typically isn’t popular during the holiday season. However, he said that didn’t stop customers from shopping there Saturday. “We had people come in and tell us that they were here downtown shopping locally rather than going to the big department stores, which was pretty neat for us,� he said. “We had new customers come in who we really hadn’t seen in the store before.� Scott Thorne, owner of Castle Perilous Games, said his store participated in the event but did not see an increase in business. “Sales for us were pretty typical for a Saturday,� he said. “We didn’t see any bumps in business because of Small Business Saturday. We saw an increase on Black Friday, but not on Saturday.� Thorne also said he was disappointed because of all the day’s hype. He said his store will participate in more promotions throughout the holidays to help jumpstart business. “I was hoping to see more,� he said. “Because so many students leave for the holidays, we typically see a decrease in business around those days.�

The H Group, an organization dedicated to behavioral healthcare, plans to advance its organization by constructing two new buildings in Carbondale to be completed next year. The H Group offers multiple behavioral health services for people with mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders, and it offers family and youth services such as big brother and sister programs as well as early childhood mental health consultations. The group’s expansion came after its merge with Southern Illinois Regional Social Services this summer. The new buildings are located on Emerald Lane on the city’s west side and just off South Illinois Avenue near Arnold’s Market. They will replace the group’s location on the 600 block of West College Street, said John Markley, director and CEO of the H Group. Markley said the expansion will allow the group to offer more services and lower the company’s operation costs. He said the new buildings will be a significant upgrade because the group leases its present location from the city, which prevents it from being able to make any changes to the property. Markley said the idea for a new location as well as some funds for the move came from the group’s merge with Southern Illinois Regional Social Services. The July 1 merge made the organization one of southern Illinois’ largest employers, he said. Markley said SIRSS has been working

toward the goal of expanding and, through collaboration, the H Group was able to construct these buildings and add improvements to existing programs. The merge has been a great asset to both organizations’ goals, Markley said, and both groups’ strengths helped to improve their programs. “(Before) we were referring to one another. Now we have that one large companionable service,� he said. Kathy Freitag, former executive director of SIRSS and chief administrative officer for the H Group, also said the merger has been beneficial to both groups. “The merger really helped us to bring together more thought on the issue (of behavioral health), and we went from looking at one large building to two separate areas with different services in them,� she said. Freitag said despite the location change, it is still business as usual for the group’s employees. “What we have done is blended the services of both organizations and have essentially continued on with services in all the places we have previously had them,� she said.

$QRWKHU EORZ IRU VWDWH V DQWL HDYHVGURSSLQJ ODZ 0,&+$(/ 7$50 $VVRFLDWHG 3UHVV C H I C AG O — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday delivered another blow to a 50-year-old antieavesdropping law in Illinois, choosing to let stand a lower court finding that key parts of the hotly debated law run counter to constitutional protections of free speech. In that May critical lower-court ruling, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law — one of the toughest of its kind in the country — violates the First Amendment when used against those who record police officers doing their jobs in public. Civil libertarians say the ability to record helps guard against police abuse. The law’s proponents, however, say it protects the privacy rights of officers
and civilians, and it ensures that those who wield recording devices don’t interfere with urgent police work. The Illinois Eavesdropping Act, enacted in 1961, makes it a felony for someone to produce an audio recording of a conversation unless all involved parties agree. It sets a maximum punishment of 15 years in prison if a law enforcement officer is recorded. As it drew the ire of civil liberties groups, state legislators endeavored to soften the law earlier this year, but those efforts stalled. The highcourt’s decision could prompt a renewed push to overhaul it. But state Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a vocal opponent of the law, said court decisions hitting at its constitutionality could effectively nullify the most contentious aspects of the law and make further
legislative action unnecessary. “If it’s unenforceable, it’s unenforceable,� the Northbrook Democrat said. “I think (the law’s opponents) would be pretty happy with that� and wouldn’t feel the need to formally strike it from the books. The Washington, D.C.-based high court didn’t hear arguments or issue an opinion, but its decision to do nothing amounts to a rejection of a plea from Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to overturn the decision by the 7th Circuit in Chicago. In their 33-page petition to the Supreme Court, prosecutors argued the 7th Circuit had ignored privacy rights and created “a novel and unprecedented First Amendment protection to ubiquitous recording devices.� “The decision (of the 7th Circuit) diminished the conversational privacy of speakers in favor of a heretofore
unrecognized First Amendment right to audio record the discussions of such speakers,� the petition said. Especially in an era where recording devices can pick up conversations from far away, a lack of restraints could make civilians uneasy and make them reluctant to speak frankly to officers about criminal activity — endangering the public, the petition argued. What the prosecutor’s office sought most was “legal clarification and guidance,� a spokeswoman for Alvarez, Sally Daly said Monday. She said it was disappointing the high court didn’t agree to hear the case. It stems from a 2010 lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union seeking to block Alvarez from prosecuting ACLU staff for recording police officers performing duties in public — one of the group’s long-
standing monitoring missions. The ACLU of Illinois on Monday welcomed the high court’s decision not to touch the lower court’s ruling. “We are hopeful that we are moving closer to a day when no one in Illinois will risk prosecution when they audio record public officials performing their duties,� Harvey Grossman, legal director of the ACLU of Illinois, said in a statement. “Empowering individuals and organizations in this fashion will ensure additional transparency and oversight of public officials across the state.� The case now gets kicked back to a U.S. District Court in Chicago, where the ACLU will ask a federal judge to make a temporary injunction against the law permanent. If a judge agrees, that could amount to a final death knell for the law as it’s currently written.

$867,1 )/<11 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ The City Council will discuss tax levy proposals and examine how tax money will be delegated for the upcoming year at tonight’s meeting. According to the meeting’s agenda, the city has been able to abate the city general purpose tax levy by subsidizing the levy amount from other general fund revenue sources from 2002 to 2009. However, City Manager Kevin Baity said the city was only able to abate a portion of the levy for the last two years and has since levied $810,729 for city government purposes, which was applied to public safety pension obligations. Baity said this is because of pension increases, a problem many Illinois cities face and have no control over. Because Illinois pension funds increased, police pension contributions will increase by $432,450, according to the agenda. Fire pension contributions will decrease by $45,028, but with the increase from the police pension, the total city government purposes is estimated to increase by more than 4.98 percent. According to the Truth in Taxation Act determination, a public hearing must be held and a notice must be printed in a local newspaper when a taxing district has a 5 percent increase in its proposed aggregate tax levy from the previous year.
Councilmember Jane Adams said although the proposed tax levy is less than 5 percent, citizens are encouraged to participate in the meeting and express their opinions to the council as well as other community members. Although tax levies are a normal part of city operations, nobody wants to see taxes raised, she said, and citizens should be told why certain tax increases are being implemented. “(The meeting) may be controversial,� she said. “I already got an email from somebody saying, ‘Don’t raise my taxes.’� The city also received a letter from the Carbondale Public Library dated Oct. 10 that requested the city levy $940,556 for its operations in the 2014 fiscal year. This is a 4.99 percent increase from last year’s library levy. By law, the city is required to adopt the library levy. Baity said after the meeting, the council will have until the week of Christmas to agree on an ordinance and file it to the proper authorities. A special December meeting will be held to pass the agreedupon tax levies before they are filed, he said. Although not all of the taxes will be fully abated, Baity said Carbondale has significantly lower city taxes than most Illinois towns.

THEIR WORD
,QVLGH WKH VHQDWH D SODQ WR GRGJH WKH ҊÀVFDO FOLIIҋ %2% &25.(5 :DVKLQJWRQ 3RVW In business, I found that a challenging environment has often produced our best opportunities. Perhaps that’s why I see the so-called fiscal cliff of year-end spending cuts and tax increases not as an impassable precipice but as our best opportunity to finally enact meaningful fiscal reform. I hear Washington watchers and people in the hallways of Congress say there is not enough time to get this done this year. I disagree. The hard part has already been done. Over the past two years, the options for reaching a $4 trillion deficit reduction deal have been drafted, charted, graphed, circulated, evaluated, dissected, leaked, reported, debated and then put on the shelf for another day. That day has come.
The fiscal cliff is a deadline of the 112th Congress’ making. We have had two dry runs over the past two years. No Congress is better suited to address these issues than this one. It is our responsibility to solve these problems now. Kicking the can down the road — setting up a process for token deficit reduction today with the promise of more reforms later — is misguided and irresponsible, and, it shows a total lack of courage. At best, a “small� deal will leave us facing another cliffs and choosing from the same menu of policy options before us today. The only difference will be that the hole we’re digging out from will be even deeper. Instead of debating a process to employ during future negotiations, let’s choose from the more plentiful and less draconian options before us. I have shared a 242-page bill with House and Senate leaders as
well as the White House that, along with other agreed-upon cuts that are to be enacted, would produce $4.5 trillion in fiscal reform and replace sequestration. While I know this bill can be improved, it clearly shows that we can do what is necessary, today, with relatively simple legislation. The proposal includes progrowth federal tax reform, which generates more static revenue — mostly from high-income Americans — by capping federal deductions at $50,000 without raising tax rates. It mandates common-sense reforms to the federal workforce, which will help bring its compensation in line with privatesector benefits, and implements a chained consumer price index across the government, a more accurate indicator of inflation. It also includes comprehensive Medicare reform that keeps fee-forservice Medicare in place without
capping growth, competing side-byside with private options that seniors can choose instead if they wish. Coupled with gradual age increases within Medicare and Social Security; the introduction of means testing; gradually increasing premiums for those making more than $50,000 a year in retirement; and ending a massive “bed tax� gimmick the states use in Medicaid to bilk the federal government of billions, this reform would put our country on firmer financial footing and begin to vanquish our long-term deficit. I am encouraged that leaders of both parties have shown openness toward a long-term solution. House Speaker John Boehner has pledged to put raising revenue on the table as long as it is accompanied with fundamental reform to entitlements, especially Medicare. And President Obama has indicated a willingness to tackle entitlement reform if
accompanied by revenue. The challenge we face isn’t one of intellect, aptitude or time. It’s a test of political courage. The 112th Congress can be remembered as responsible elected leaders who put America on a path to fiscal solvency, unleashing a period of economic growth, job creation and innovation — a tremendous legacy. Or we can be known as a feckless Congress and a feckless president who abdicated this responsibility and continued to saddle the country with debt, uncertainty and a void of leadership. If we choose to rise to the occasion and place this fiscal issue firmly in the rear-view mirror, we can begin next year focusing on those things that ensure America’s greatest days still lie ahead.

Fire defender Gibbs retires
PA R K R I D G E — Career touchdown leader Montee Ball of Wisconsin was selected as the Big Ten’s top running back for the second straight year and was a first-team all-conference pick by both the coaches and media. The announcement Monday came two days after he became the NCAA’s all-time leader in touchdowns. He set the record with his 79th touchdown when he scored on a 17-yard run Saturday against Penn State.
CHICAGO — Chicago Fire defender Cory Gibbs retired from professional soccer after suffering a season-ending knee injury last spring, ending a 12-year career. Gibbs started the first three matches at center back last season before injuring his right meniscus in April. He underwent surgery six days later and was forced to sit out the rest of the year. He did everything in his power to return,
With 1,528 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns this season, it was hardly a surprise that the coaches and media both picked Ball. They also went with conference rushing leader Le’Veon Bell of Michigan State (1,648 yards), but they were divided on the choice of a quaterback. The media went with Ohio State’s Braxton Miller and the coaches choose Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez. — Associated Press
he said. Gibbs was initially taken by the Miami Fusion in the fourth round of the 2001 MLS draft but played three seasons in Europe instead. He returned to the U.S. to play for the Dallas Burn, then returned to Europe before rejoining MLS in 2008. The Fire took him in the MLS re-entry draft in December 2010. — Associated Press
Former University of Auburn football coach Gene Chizik was fired Sunday, two years after leading the Tigers and current Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton to a national championship. Chizik was 33-19 in four years at Auburn, but the Tigers finished 3-9 this season. Should college coaches get more time to prove themselves after a fall from glory?
I think coaches should have at least a few years to build a recruiting class and see how it goes from there. Oftentimes coaches inherit recruits, which can be a good or bad thing. I don’t think one or two classes can truly determine a coach’s capabilities until his true mark has been left on the field and he has sufficient time to develop talent.
Alex Rostowsky
In some cases, college coaches can get huge contracts after just one really good season. It’s only fair that they are on a short leash, because they are essentially getting paid to lead a team into a winning and successful culture. You get fired when you don’t do the job you are hired to perform. This also applies to coaches.
Demario Phipps-Smith
Chizik’s hire was questioned by many Auburn fans from the beginning, and his 19-19 record without Cam Newton at Auburn proves he did not deserve the job. If colleges and universities are willing to take on the burden of paying for a buyout, then they reserve the right to make these decisions. Nobody ever said coaching was an easy profession.

'(0$5,2 3+,336 60,7+ 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ Despite a rough 2012 season start with suspensions and injuries, coach Barry Hinson has the Salukis at 3-1 and off to their best start since 2006. The increased performance on the court is, in part, because of the heightened level of accountability and responsibility Hinson is trying to instill upon his players through his life-skills program. “Our maturity level is not very good,� Hinson said. “The coaching staff has an enormous amount of teaching to do, and that’s fine because that’s part of our job.� The Salukis’ first-year coach said notable community figures have come to speak with the team and share their life experiences. “I’ve enjoyed (the life skills program),� Hinson said. “We have had a judge come speak to us. We’ve had former players come speak to us, former coaches come speak to us. We’ve had lawyers and police officers come speak to us. We have had a lady come talk to us about our manners. I have talked to them about patriotism. I think it’s working. I’m hearing great things in the community about how our guys are acting now off the floor, so I do think it’s working from the program.� The entire team should exhibit more leadership qualities, but the seniors must lead the way, he said. “Good teams have good leadership,� Hinson said. “It starts with your seniors, and our seniors have to do a better job leading.� Senior guard Jeff Early said he believes his effort in practice and in games will help others elevate their play. “Coach tells us all the time that we need to give more on the defensive end, so I try to take charges and do things to help my team get more motivated to play defense,� Early said. While off the court, Early said he pays more attention to his diet and tries to stay out of trouble as much as possible. “With all the injuries in the beginning season, we can’t afford to lose anybody else,� he said. “I’m starting to see why I have to take better care of my body and not get into any trouble.� Freshman guard Colby Long said the program is designed to improve the team as men first and players second. “Coach is trying to implement a system to help us make better decisions off the court and make us into positive role models,� he said. Long said he is planning for life outside of basketball. “We are not going to be young forever. We’re not going to be college basketball players forever, either,� he said. “We have to learn to be successful in other things.� Davante Drinkard, the Salukis’ post forward, said he learned how important his record can be. “One of the judges who came to talk to us warned us about our decisions,� he said. “Your past is always going to stay with you. The bad decisions you make can hurt you in the future.� Drinkard said Hinson expects more from his players than almost every other coach he has played under. “We have to set an example, not just on the court but also as students and people,� he said. The Salukis will face the Bulldogs of Fresno State at home Nov. 28. DeMario Phipps-Smith can be reached at dsmith-phipps@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3311 ext. 269.
