UI officials fight proposed budget cuts Forum meets with state officials to discuss impact of Rauner’s budget BY MAGGIE SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

University administrators left Monday’s forum on Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed state budget cuts with the reminder that the budget has not been finalized. State officials met with Chancellor Phyllis Wise, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Renee Romano and Research Park Director Laura Frerichs. Champaign Mayor Don Gerard, Champaign Mayor-elect Deborah Frank Feinen and Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing were also in attendance. State Sen. Dan Kotowski, R-28, said it is typical for the governor to introduce

a budget to be discussed and adjusted before it is finalized. “As we always do, we’re working as hard as we possibly can to get the job done,� said Kotowski, who serves as the chair of Rauner’s appropriations committee. Wise informed state officials of the University’s strengths, which she said will suffer if the “draconian� budget cuts are made in fiscal year 2016, which begins July 1. She said the University makes impacts across the state, both economically and socially as “good stewards

Coalition protests cuts to human services funding More than 200 organizations unite to protest BY LIYUAN YANG STAFF WRITER

After Gov. Bruce Rauner suspended $26 million from the funding of 22 human services departments in April, the Responsible Budget Coalition united to spread public awareness about the impact of Rauner’s decision and fight for revenue to invest human services. According to a press release, the Responsible Budget Coalition is comprised of a group of 200 organizations who are involved with families, children, veterans, people with disabilities, education, labor union and religious and civic institutions. Catherine Kelly, Rauner’s press secretary, said in an

Immigrant Integration Services is one of the 22 service departments being affected by the suspension, said Breandan Magee, senior director of programs at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrants and Refugee Rights.

Female leaders on the rise

Deb Feinen is Champaign’s first female mayor in 30 years. Feinen said she believes that people vote for someone based on professional accomplishments and qualities rather than gender. “I believe that people vote for you based on the merits,� Feinen said. “I really think that we’re at a point in our society where we can look at women in professional positions and positions of authority, and we’re not voting on someone based on whether they are a woman or a man.� The mayor of Urbana, Laurel Prussing, is Urbana’s first female mayor and has held her position since 2005. Prussing said more and more women have been elected into official positions, whereas around 20 years ago, official positions were generally all held by men.

“Now we have a woman who is the chancellor of the university, the city manager of Champaign is a woman, and now the Champaign mayor is a woman,� Prussing said. “We have a lot of women in office now — it’s very different than it was years ago.� Feinen has two young daughters, and she said she hopes her status as mayor will inspire them and other young girls in the community to run for office or pursue any career path they wish. Prussing said she believes the amount of women in office will continue to grow. In 1974, the first woman was elected into office in Champaign County, the 103rd district, and since, Prussing said women are elected to represent that district 80 percent of the time. “I’m the first woman mayor of Urbana,� Prussing said. “I’m sure I won’t be the last.�

Champaign County judge sets court date for Salaita’s suit to obtain UI documents DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Champaign County Judge Thomas Difanis ruled he will hear testimonies on June 12 regarding a lawsuit between the University and Steven Salaita on the Freedom of Information Act, campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler confirmed. Salaita filed suit against the University on Nov. 17, claiming the University failed to comply with the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The act requires public bodies, such as the University, to disclose specific records, unless the records fall under exemption. The suit requests that the court order the Board of Trustees to admit to vio-

lating the act, fulfill Salaita’s document request and award civil penalties, reasonable attorney fees and other compensation the court deems appropriate. At the first hearing, held on Feb. 13, University representatives argued Salaita’s suit was invalid because the Center for Constitutional Rights submitted the first FOIA request. Associate Judge of Champaign county Chase Leonhard ruled against the University’s motion to dismiss but gave the University permission to strike unnecessary information from the suit, including information regarding Salaita’s rejected appointment. Leonhard said

the lawsuit needed to stick to the FOIAs and not about his rescinded appointment. Salaita was offered a position in the American Indian Studies department in October 2013. In August 2014, he received an email from Chancellor Phyllis Wise stating the Board of Trustees were unlikely to approve his appointment, after he posted tweets regarding the conflict in Gaza, Palestine. Salaita requested documents regarding the rescindment of his employment on Sept. 17. The University responded to his request, stating the FOIA request was “unduly burdensome� and urged Salaita to narrow his request,

according to the lawsuit. On Oct. 15, Salaita issued a new request, which asked for emails between 15 University officials over a threemonth period. The University again orally rejected the request, stating it would require reviewing between 8,000 to 10,000 emails. Salaita responded by requesting the FOIA again on Nov. 5, this time reducing the time frame to just over one month. However, he claims that he never received a response. According to the act, any party found in violation is required to pay civil penalties of no less than $2,500 and no more than $5,000 per violation.

Campus RSO hosts ‘Queer It Week’ Pride at Illinois aims to promote awareness about LGBTQ issues DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT

Monday marked the start of Pride at Illinois’ “Queer It Week,� which aims to raise awareness about issues affecting LGBTQ students and to promote a safe environment for underrepresented groups on campus. The event will span through the weekend and includes events such as “Queer Tie-Dye� in Allen Hall and a volleyball tournament starting Saturday at the Leonhard Recreation Center. Sarah Mowitz, president of Pride at Illinois and senior in FAA, said the event is unique to the University. “Originally we celebrated Day of Silence, which is a national holiday to

All of the cultural houses are cosponsoring ‘Queer It Week’ events.� One of the final events of the week is a “hug-in� that organizers hope will bring awareness to the street harassment that LGBTQ students face. Mowitz said the event will consist of participants walking down the street with posters, handing out candy and giving out hugs to “raise awareness of the issues and attempt to create a safe space for queer individuals.� The event will recognize the adversity a transgender student faced after a verbal and physical assault on Green Street eight years ago. The events of “Queer It Week� are open to anyone who would like to participate and all are encouraged to join in.

Mowitz said Pride at Illinois started “Queer It Week� as an alternative way to raise awareness through daily activities, lectures and other interactive programs. The event also works to include other underrepresented groups on campus. “One thing that we try to focus on, especially within Pride, is intersectionality,� Mowitz said. “We understand that gender and sexual orientation collide (with) race and ethnicity and reli-

Facebook aids storm aftermath Photos lost in tornado find their way back to family BY GEOFF ZIEZULEWICZ TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

About 25 years before she died, Geri Schultz got her picture taken with her husband, Clem. The photo, which Clem Schultz said was taken for a church directory, sat on a shelf in the couple’s Fairdale home in north central Illinois, near their bedroom window. “That was one of the last things I saw before that tornado touched down,” the 84-year-old said Monday, just days after his wife was killed and he emerged bruised and battered from the rubble of their home. A violent storm system that spawned at least two tornadoes killed two people and left a trail of damage on April 9, 2015, as it swept across a 50-mile swath of north-central Illinois, officials said. The massive tornado tore through Fairdale on Thursday night, killing Geri Schultz, 67, and one of her best friends, 69-year-old Jacklyn Klosa. Clem Schultz and his daughter, Sue Frazier, said Monday that they aren’t sure how many family photos survived the storm. “There’s such a stack of

rubble to go through,” she said. But at about 3 a.m. Monday, Frazier checked her Facebook and saw Geri Schultz and her dad smiling at her in that photo. “Part of tornado debris,” a woman named Alyssa Murray wrote above the photo. “Please pass along and let me know if you know who these people are!” “That’s my dad and Geri,” Frazier wrote after it was posted to the “Found Items from the Fairdale Illinois Tornado” page. “Unbelievable.” Murray wrote that the photo had been found intact in the town of Harvard, roughly 35 miles northeast of their home. “I’m amazed,” Frazier said Monday morning. “I don’t know how that happened. How does that happen?” Clem Schultz called it an “incongruity” of the storm and its tornado, which authorities said measured a half-mile wide and traveled 15 to 20 miles on the ground. The family and volunteers will spend the coming days trying to “beat the rain” and salvaging anything they could from the ruined home, she said. Frazier said she was heartened by the photo surviving, but that a million other priorities must be taken care of first. “It’s amazing and it blows us away,” she said, adding

Other items have popped up on Facebook that are believed to have been scattered by the storm. They include a child’s leg brace adorned with a Bears logo, a Larry Bird Celtics jersey still on its hanger, a wedding photo and the bottom of a flowerpot with a last name inscribed on it. One of Geri Schultz’s children, Tony Poden, also

expressed gratitude that the photo was found and will be returned. But days after his mother’s death, and the loss of so many of the household items that remind him of her, Poden said little time exists to savor this minor miracle. “There isn’t a whole lot that’s helping me right now,” Poden said. “We’re just trying to salvage any piece of anything that we can.”

Wise, Romano and Frerichs discussed. Kitowski asked Wise if she had expressed her concerns to Rauner. Wise stated she has not had an opportunity to talk to the governor directly but would be eager to do so. State Sen. Heather Steans, D-7, voiced concern about how the budget cuts would directly impact University programs, such as the incubator. Essentially, Wise said, the University would no longer be able to pay the necessary staff to keep the programs running as they currently do. State Rep. Chapin Rose, R-51, said the University and state need to take the proposed cuts as an opportunity to reform the state. He said there are other alternatives to the 31.5 cut in state appropriations; however, if some action isn’t taken ,the 31.5 percent reductions could become a reality. After the discussion with University officials, Mayors Don Gerard of Champaign, Prussing of Urbana, Scott Eisenhauer of Danville and Charles Smith of Rantoul spoke on behalf of their respective cities. Gerard said businesses are coming to Champaign, not leaving, and the city should be rewarded for that. He added that Champaign has lowered its unemployment rate to five percent and said he believes state investment should reflect the city’s success. “If we are to compete with other states, we need to invest as the city of Champaign invested during the recession,” Gerard said. “The state may balance its budget and it may look good, but the burden will be on local governments.” Gerard said if the state of Illinois makes the proposed cuts to Champaign’s budget, it would be like sending someone to play baseball without a bat or a glove. “If you take away the tools, we cannot compete with Indiana or Wisconsin or any other states,” he said. “Cuts need to be made and pain will be felt, but right now the city of Champaign is driving Illinois’ economy.”

2007, was to back up other Blackwater security details. Shortly before noon, Raven 23 heard that a vehicle-borne homemade bomb had detonated near where U.S. officials were meet-

ing with Iraqi officials. The Raven 23 convoy subsequently took up positions in Nisoor Square in downtown Baghdad to secure an evacuation route. According to prosecutors, Raven 23 opened fire on a small car that had approached the intersection, killing the driver. Heavy machine-gun fire continued from the Blackwater convoy, directed at the car, other vehicles and eventually unarmed civilians. Among those killed were a female dermatologist, a 40-year-old car salesman, a 55-year-old ironworker and a 9-year-old boy named Ali who was in a car with his father. “Blackwater, they killed my son,” said Ali’s father, Mohammed Kinani, during a lengthy and at times heated victim’s impact statement delivered in the court. “I want to see these people in jail, to teach everyone a lesson.”

of investment.” Wise said the University brings over 30,000 individuals to the area to live, work and pay taxes throughout the region. “Every dollar of salary paid to UI employees generates 90 cents to the state,” she said. “Every dollar spent at UI generates another 84 cents for Illinois.” Wise said a decrease in faculty members will be detrimental to research funding, recruiting and students. “Faculty flight becomes a huge risk,” she said. “Faculty are the essence of our community. If we start losing faculty, we will not be able to continue our mission.” Cutting funding in other areas, such as administration, would not ease the impact of the reductions, as it would likely increase the cost of attendance, Wise said. “More out of state and our best in-state students will choose to attend other universities,” Wise said. As a result, Wise said, the surrounding community would suffer along with the University because it is one of the largest employers in the Champaign-Urbana area. “It’s taken about 150 years of sweat, labor and tears to build this University,” Wise said. “Please let’s not tear it apart.” Romano and Frerichs echoed Wise, explaining how student services and the University’s ability to aid entrepreneurship would suffer. Romano said a 31.5 percent cut in state appropriations to the University would reduce counseling, health care, career services, diversity education, housing and dining. F rerichs said the Research Park provides a critical workforce to fuel new technical ventures; it also trains new entrepreneurs and aids startup companies. The University’s start-up incubator has fostered over 160 successful start-up companies since its conception. She also cited companies such as PayPal and Yelp. Following the University’s testimonies, the panel asked a series of questions about University funding and the programs

essential in Illinois.” Teen REACH, a statewide after school program for children ages six to 17, will also be affected by Rauner’s proposal, said Andrea Durbin, chief executive officer of the Illinois Collaboration on Youth. Durbin said the program helps students with their homework, engages them in physical activities, provides social support and offers a

safe environment. “It’s a really important way to help keep kids safe, give well income working parents (the chance to keep) their kids safe, and then really help to improve the academic achievements and the attendance at school,” Durbin said. Durbin said the children who relied on the program have nowhere else to go after school.

After the funds were suspended, the program was shut down, Durbin said, and the students are no longer receiving the benefits of the after-school program, while the staff in charge of the program also lost their jobs. “I’m very concerned about the safety of family and children as well the community across the state of Illinois,” Durbin said.

“And I’m very concerned with the social safety net that supports them.” David Lloyd, the director of the fiscal policy center at Voices for Illinois Children, said these cuts will also restrict access to the Early Intervention Program, which serves infants and toddlers with developmental delays. Lloyd said Voices for Illinois Children works with

children to help them grow. Without it, these children will have to resort to special education services in public schools, which are more costly. “So, in the short term the cuts might save money, but it will cost much more in the long run because the state didn’t help kids early on,” Lloyd said.

But now we have multi-family recycling, which means that all the apartments on campus have recycling — so that is something that I have supported. I have supported our sustainability plan. Something else that is something I always ask about when we talk about new lighting is having what is called full cutoff lighting. It is lighting

that is directional where you actually need it on the street, and we don’t have all the light pollution going up into the sky so that people can continue to use the observatory and see the stars.

and we need to be talking about what they need as support from council. Those conversations are starting to happen, and I think in the next few months we’ll be having a study session with the chief to talk about it.

WASHINGTON — Tough new net neutrality regulations were published in the Federal Register on Monday, triggering an effective date of June 12 and the first formal legal challenge to the controversial online traffic rules.

Blackwater contractors sentenced to prison WASHINGTON — A federal judge sentenced four former Blackwater USA security contractors Monday to long prison terms for killing Iraqi civilians in a notorious 2007 incident. Three of the former Blackwater — now known as Academi — contractors received prison sentences of 30 years plus a day after convictions on voluntary manslaughter and weapons charges. A fourth contractor, former sniper Nicholas A. Slatten of Sparta, Tennessee, received a mandatory sentence of life for his conviction on one count of firstdegree murder. “The defendants appear to be overall good young men who served their country,” said U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, before adding that “there is a serious sentence that needs to be imposed for these killings and woundings.” Lamberth sentenced Slatten; Dustin L. Heard of Maryville, Tennessee; Evan S. Liberty of Rochester, New Hampshire; and Paul A. Slough of Keller, Texas, after a day of sometimes emotional testimony that highlighted the enduring scars left by the events of Sept. 16, 2007. That day, a Washington jury concluded in October, the four security contractors killed 14 Iraqi civilians and wounded 17 in Baghdad’s Nisoor Square. “It’s clear that these fine young men just panicked,” said Lamberth, adding that as a result of the trial, “the truth about Nisoor Square was out there for the world to see.” A 71-year-old Vietnam War veteran, Lamberth effectively gave Heard, Liberty and Slough the lowest sentence possible under federal sentencing guidelines. He rejected prosecu-

EDITORIAL Culturallyappropriating fashion choices contribute to prejudice

M

usic festivals are a celebrated tradition of American young adulthood. Since Woodstock in 1969, they have become an escape to enjoy music and bond with people of similar interests. Coachella, one such festival on the West Coast, started this past weekend and will continue this upcoming weekend. Performers include AC/ DC, Drake and Jack White. Like all music festivals of such high popularity, the atmosphere is fun and the music is incredible, drawing crowds from all over to participate. However, the wardrobe choices of some attendees distracts from what is otherwise harmless fun. Native American headdresses and other culturally insensitive attire are often donned by festivalgoers — not just at Coachella, but Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and other similar events. Wearing Native American symbols as a fashion statement undermines the struggles faced by Native Americans and misrepresents a culture, while also frequently sexualizing Native American heritage. Native American women historically do not wear headdresses. Rather, they are reserved for elders within the community. They are a symbol of honor, not one of style. This issue is not limited to just music festivals or just headdresses. On the University campus, the persistence of Chief Illiniwek is a prime example of similar cultural appropriation. Further, accessories like the Hindu Bindi, the Mexican sombrero and Japanese kimono are all frequently worn, either as costumes or attempts at celebration. All have the same effect as headdresses at festivals. When people wear these pieces frivolously, they often fail to take into account the systematic and historic oppression of that respective group by dominant culture. It undermines the cultural significance, perpetuates the stereotypes associated with those symbols and discounts issues that oppressed groups have faced at the hands of oppressors. People inappropriately wearing headdresses, sombreros, saris and kimonos might not realize they are playing a role in microaggressions and racism, but for majority groups appropriating cultures, it’s crucial to understand how those appropriations will affect those of the minority. Not wearing a headdress to Coachella is not going to prevent anyone’s fun, so when choosing an outfit or a theme for the next festival or party, be conscious of how these outfits represent not only the wearer, but also poorly represent the culture the outfit originates from. Do not perpetuate oppression. Be aware of how little things relate to bigger problems and join in to help stop it.

Looking at the republican ticket BOSWELL HUTSON Opinions columnist

Editor’s note: This column was written with satirical intent.

C

an you feel it? It’s almost election season. The time will soon come when I can’t even watch a YouTube video without being bombarded with political rhetoric. Undoubtedly, some intern will come knocking on the door of my home, and they will ask me to take a pamphlet about their candidate. The pamphlet will likely be filled with the candidate’s accolades and heartwarming pictures of them frolicking through fields with a dog, or maybe even their family. These are just a few of the goofiest aspects of one of the most bizarre parts of American politics: campaigning. Earlier this month, the United States of America was blessed with two of the best presidential candidates in the history of the American political landscape’s existence: Former Rep. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Both announced their candidacy this month, amongst a firestorm of praise from the nation’s right wing.

In honor of that, and the fact that Ted Cruz recently announced a campaign fundraiser in my hometown of Monticello, Illinois, I decided to reflect on how a Cruz/Paul 2016 election nomination — whether together as president and vice president or separately — could be really great for America. Let’s take former Rep. Cruz, for example. Just last week, in his complete and infinite wisdom, he stated that by opposing anti-LGBTQ “religious freedom� laws (such as the one put in place and subsequently taken out of place in Indiana), gay Americans were waging “jihad� against Christians. He’s totally right — gay people should definitely be refused service in certain places due to their sexual orientation; the fact that the LGBTQ community is even a little mad about laws like this is ridiculous. Those who have a different sexual orientation than me shouldn’t have the same rights as me! Spot on, Ted. Those are really sound opinions, and definitely what I want my next president to think. While Rand Paul has a couple of policies that plan to progress the nation, he also has a fair amount of ridiculous(ly awesome) views, especially on social issues. Speaking in 2013 on

“Meet The Press,� he said that the “war on women� didn’t exist, citing a plethora of examples from his own family. I’m glad he illuminated this for me, because I was still worried about the fact that women, on the whole, still only make $0.78 for every dollar that men make. It’s good to know that women are no longer “downtrodden.� Thanks for clearing that one up, Rand! On the environment, both former Rep. Cruz and Sen. Paul oppose the idea that climate change is happening, despite 97 percent of climate scientists claiming the opposite. When asked about climate change, Cruz simply states that data does not support the notion that the climate is warming. Unsurprisingly, Paul also claims that he’s “not sure anybody exactly knows why� climate change is happening. (I swear NASA says it knows, but what do they know about science, right?) Way to stand up to the establishment, guys! You’re both true mavericks for that — Tom Cruise and Sarah Palin would be proud. So please, Republicans, when primary season comes around, vote for one of these two sterling candidates. Progress is overrated, anyway. If anything, we should be going back in time — and

a Ted Cruz/Rand Paul ticket is the exact time machine American needs for regressive and stationary social and environmental policies! Though this should probably be apparent by now, this entire column was written sarcastically. Don’t get me wrong — I believe there could be a moderate candidate from the Republican Party that could be a viable option (OK, it’s a long-shot), but Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are certainly not options that fit that criteria. Socially and environmentally, their policies simply do not progress the country. At a time when attaining equal rights for all Americans is becoming more and more likely, candidates like Cruz and Paul are stagnating progress. At a dire time for the world’s climate, they are denying the scientific consensus. At the very least, make sure to do research on candidates before voting. As many candidates are coming forth now, such as Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton, now is a prime time to start researching everyone’s beliefs and ideals. But no matter who you choose, it’s important to have an informed vote.

It

is pretty evident that news websites are shifting from news stories to animal pictures. In a recent interview, Matthew Erlich, a professor of journalism, recently researched the topic claiming that animal stories “are the kind of news items that go viral, that get circulated by social media.� He went on to say, “These kind of things are often put down as being everything journalism should not be about.� It is no surprise then that many students are not informed about the news. Studies continuously show that many people cannot even name prominent figures or are unaware of major news items that affect their lives. A 2010 poll showed that 41 percent of Americans cannot name the current vice president. John Oliver recently tackled this problem on his program “Last Week Tonight.� where one of his correspondents asked various people about Edward Snowden and NSA surveillance. Most had no

idea who he was, nor did they seem to care about what the NSA was doing. That is, until Oliver’s correspondent asked if they were OK with the NSA seeing naked photos that they had sent to one another. Suddenly, the answers changed. Oliver proved a point in this segment: Many people do not care about the news because they do not find it relatable to their lives. This abundance of apathy toward important world events is quite alarming. This type of indifference is a problem because it means we are uninformed about events and figures changing our world. Getting people to care about the news does not necessarily seem like an easy task, but it is definitely possible for students to keep up with the news, especially if they change their sources. Large and prominent news companies such as MSNBC, CNN and Fox News are not always known for their young viewership and the way they present the news might not resonate with everyone. For college students, it can seem that many of the major news outlets tailor to older audiences. After all, it was YouTube’s “Apparently Kid� who said, “I don’t watch the news because I’m a kid.� To make

the news and staying updated seem more appealing, young people need information in a way they will understand. An obvious example would be how The Daily Illini is written by college students for college students. On a larger scale, websites like Recode.net specialize in tech news, written by those in the tech industry. In general, specialized news sources help audiences with different tastes and interests better understand issues and news items. Take the website Mic.com for example. Mic is an online news outlet that caters to young people. Mic’s mission is that “Young people deserve a news destination that offers quality coverage tailored to them.� Mic’s co-founders have pointed out that they try to present news in casual ways without sacrificing journalistic integrity. They know that stories covered by many major news outlets do not resonate with a lot of young people, and are making it their mission to give young people important stories and put the subjects they care about into perspective. Mic is just one of many websites that are trying to help create an informed group of individuals for the future. Websites like Vox and Vice also present news in alternative fashions,

such as immersive journalism. Getting the news does not have to be through traditional systems either. Apps like Circa and Flipboard allow smartphone users to check the news tailored to audiences on the go. These news companies create and present news in a way that is designed for those who constantly use their phones. Other companies, such as theSkimm, send out e-mails every morning with easy to read summaries of the biggest news stories. On top of all of this, most of these websites are very active on social media, delivering stories to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds. Checking what is trending or the news features on SnapChat are easy and convenient ways to stay up to date. People are capable of being informed and caring about what is going on in the world; it is just a matter of finding the platform that works best for the individual. Taking time to check out some alternative news sources can be beneficial to our knowledge on current events, and all students should look into it.

Stem cell therapy for dogs draws support, detractors BY KATE SANTICH TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Retiree Paul Jaynes was heartbroken when his 9-year-old Labrador, Cookie, suddenly stopped walking last year. The once-athletic dog struggled to stand and, if she moved at all, collapsed after a few steps. He carried his 90-pound companion to his truck, drove her to the vet and braced himself for the bad news. Instead, his veterinarian told him about a newly available procedure involving stem cells. In a single day, the vet said, they could remove the cells from Cookie’s fatty tissues, process them and re-inject them into her joints. She could go home immediately. “It was very dramatic,” Jaynes says. “The day after surgery, she was standing.” That was last September, and six months later Cookie is still going strong, Jaynes says. While he has no doubts about the treatment, some veterinarians worry that marketing of stem-cell therapy for animals has gotten ahead of the scientific research. The results, while sometimes promising, are not universal. “Most of what you hear is anecdotal — ‘Oh, I tried this, and it helped my dog,’” says Dr. Jeffrey Peck, a veterinary surgeon at Affiliated Veterinary Specialists, based in Maitland, Florida. Much of his practice is in orthopedics. He tried using

stem-cell therapy with his patients in 2008 but dropped it after a dozen cases in which he saw no improvement. “I don’t refuse ... if a client ... wants to try, but I give them my disclaimer,” he says. At $1,400 to $3,000 for the procedure, most pet owners opt out, he says. But Peck acknowledges that some of his colleagues are more optimistic. Dr. Janis Fullenwider, veterinarian and owner of an area animal hospital, began offering the treatment about a year ago, though she has only treated five dogs so far. “I think it will turn out to be extremely promising — not just for osteoarthritis but for all kinds of things,” she says. Her enthusiasm comes despite an early disappointment. Four years ago, one of her dogs was a subject in a pilot study to test stem-cell therapy for cardiomyopathy in Dobermans, half of whom eventually develop the fatal heart-muscle disease. Only 15 Dobermans were enrolled, and Fullenwider’s dog died the day after the treatment. Though the dog might have died that day regardless, ultimately researchers said the stem cells showed no sign of helping. But those results only underscore the need for more studies, Fullenwider says, and they don’t dissuade her from using the therapy for osteoarthritis. Of the dogs treated at her practice, she says, all showed progress. “I do think, because it’s

such an (emerging) therapy, a lot of people don’t yet understand it,” she adds. “And it’s still expensive right now.” But the price is starting to drop, and the research is rapidly growing. The University of Florida, for instance, is currently enrolling subjects for an ongoing study of stem-cell therapy in dogs with arthritic elbows. Fourteen have already completed the six-month trial, during which the owners, other veterinarians and technicians are kept in the dark about which dogs are getting the therapy and which are getting a placebo. The placebo dogs get the treatment at the end. “The owners tend to guess correctly. They’ll come in at three months and say, ‘I think my dog is in the stemcell group because he’s really improving’ — and they’re usually right,” says Dr. Anna Dunlap, a veterinarian and orthopedic fellow working on the study. But for Carol Hall’s 15-year-old Shiba Inu mix, Ginger, the response was less impressive. Ginger underwent kneereplacement surgery in 2012, but Hall sought the stem-cell therapy last year in hopes of easing the dog’s overall pain and increasing her mobility. While Hall can’t detect much difference, she doesn’t regret the $1,500 decision. “And I’m sure it helped in other ways that I can’t see,” she says. “After all, her life expectancy is 9 years, and she’s still going at 15.”

PLANTS done on tobacco, also a C3 plant, because it is easy to make genetic changes to it, Long said. He explained that the group makes about 10 changes each year. After they make the change, they put the plants out in the field and measure the mass at the end of the year to see if there is any improvement. Charles Pignon, graduate student in crop sciences, is a member of Long’s research team. He collects the data that shows how much carbon dioxide is being used for photosynthesis and whether the rate improves after the modification. “The photosynthesis rate is increasing,” Pignon said. “We measure how much carbon dioxide is entering the plant, how much goes through it, then calculate how much energy we get.” Another aspect of the research is reducing energy and carbohydrates wasted, Long said. Photorespi-

farms and greenhouses, which provide them a variety of locally-grown fruits and vegetables. “They tell us their harvest, and we take it in,” Curia said. “That’s what’s pretty unique and special about the whole process. We’re inspired by what the farmers have; we’re not asking the farmers to deliver what we want.” But this process can be challenging since they only go off of the seasonal items that the local farmers offer. “It can get difficult; how many ways can you make squash?” Curia said. “But at the same time, we want to be supporting that it’s local and abundant. It creates a need for us to be

doing recipe research ... and it forces us to keep learning.” For customers like Durl and Jan, the fact that the food is locally-grown and fresh is an added benefit to the restaurant that they’ve been loyal to for over a decade. “It’s so much fun,” Durl said, “and a nice place to meet friends.” It’s the type of response Curia is used to hearing her customers have. “Most often, the response is people love it, and they want to come back because it’s a pretty fun environment,” she said.

ration, for example, causes the loss of carbohydrates and reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis. The same goes for too much light, Long said. “The upper leaves actually get too much light, so that light can actually be damaging,” he said. “One of the things we’re looking at is how we can change that as well.” Long said that creating more food does not only accommodate the growing population but also the growing demand of meat, which results in a much greater need for grain and animal feed. “Even though (the) population might increase by 35 percent, we might need 85 percent more food by 2050,” he said. Long said because the demand for grain increases, the price of food in some parts of the world rises. While it may not affect wealthy countries where food is generally cheaper, some countries where 60 percent of household income goes to food can

suffer significantly, he said. “If you can’t meet that demand, then the price rises,” he said. “It’s not the people who are eating meat that will suffer from that; it’s the poorest.” As the price of food increases, the money spent will be more precious than the land that we are not using for agriculture, Long said. “Imagine what would happen to the Amazon rainforest,” he said. “Because people are starving, they are going to say, ‘We come before the Amazon rainforest.’” Long said getting more productivity from what land we are using has a number of benefits. Although the research doesn’t solve drought problems, it still makes an impact to everyone in agriculture. “The good thing about improving photosynthesis is it should help crop yield anywhere in the world,” Long said.

On

a warm April evening, Durl and Jan Kruse relaxed with their friends after they finished a Japanese-fusion meal at the Red Herring, Urbana’s first all-vegan restaurant. Jan showed off two loyalty cards covered in little red herringshaped stamps. “I’m saving this one for a friend,” she said. Durl and Jan are regulars; they’ve been coming to the Red Herring’s Wednesday “Vegan Fusion” nights for the past 10 years. They say they love the friendly atmosphere of the restaurant, as well as the variety of food. Customers are greeted by the sound of ambient music playing in the background and pots and pans being used in the kitchen, where workers talk and laugh with each other. “The young folks in the kitchen are so thoughtful,” Jan said. “They’re consistent in coming up with creative ideas for the menu.” The diners, including Durl and Jan, frequently stay long after their meals are finished. They sip what’s left of their drinks and fill the room with chatter, making a friendly and inviting environment, one that head chef Holly Curia said

According to Emmett Silver, the Red Herring’s financial manager, the Red Herring has been a restaurant since 1991, when it was run by an all-volunteer staff. “We moved from a coffeehouse to a restaurant gradually from the ‘60s, when a great deal of social activism was done at the Herring,” Silver said. The restaurant is unique because it is non-profit, meaning all money made goes to pursue environmental and social justice missions, according to Curia. This also includes supporting projects such as immigration reform and racial and LGBTQ justice. The Red Herring’s 10 employ-

According to a paper published by the scientific journal PLOS ONE, the world food supply will not be enough to sustain the growing global population by 2050. While some governments have tried to limit population growth — like China — a University professor is looking at a different way to solve the problem: increasing the food supply through photosynthesis. Stephen Long, professor of plant biology and crop sciences, is looking for a way to increase the amount of grains harvested each season by boosting photosynthesis in crops. The research focuses on improving photosynthesis in C3 plants, which include rice, wheat, maize and cassava, since they are the main source of calories for an average diet. “We’re trying to boost photosynthesis to get more productivity,” Long said. “We’ve reached the stage where our conventional methods have almost reached their limits.” He explained that this c onventiona l method involves crossing plants. In this process, the researcher identifies a main property in one plant and crosses it with a second plant until it obtains the first plant’s property. The new method, however, is called radiation breeding, Long said. Scientists bombard the plants with radiation, causing

them to mutate. Most of the time, the radiation makes the plant worse, but sometimes, it improves the plant, he said. “About 80 percent of our soybeans are genetically engineered,” Long said. “We know that that is responsible for about 30 percent of the yield increase.” Haley Ahlers, communication coordinator for the Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency project, said the research is done in cooperation with scholars from the University and many other institutions around the world. Long said the other techniques may have reached their limits, so the scientists will be focusing on radiation breeding. The process of photosynthesis, Long said, is complicated.

Football seeks replacement after Dudek injury BY STEPHEN BOURBON SENIOR WRITER

THE DAILY ILLINI FILE PHOTO

Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Geronimo Allison carries the ball during the game against Penn State at Memorial Stadium on Nov. 22, 2014. The Illini won 16-14.

With just one week left of spring practices, the Illinois football team received devastating news last week when it was announced that freshman standout Mike Dudek would miss at least six months. After the star wide receiver partially tore his ACL in a noncontact drill at practice last Wednesday, the Illini are tasked with fi nding his replacement in the slot. Dudek is aiming to make a return in October. As a freshman last season, Dudek led the team with 76 catches and 1,038 yards and six receiving touchdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have a role that we have to fill. We all have to step up,â&#x20AC;? senior Geronimo Allison said.

Fellow sophomore Malik Turner was a candidate to replace Dudek in the slot, but the injury bug will also keep Turner from competing in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring game. Turner has a high ankle sprain that will hold him out of practice for the remainder of the spring, and was in a walking boot at practice on Monday. Turner and Allison are generally considered to be prototypical X and Y receivers, at 6-foot-3 and 6-foot-4, respectively. But Allison said that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much difference in moving from the numbers to the hash marks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have your assignment. You do your assignment and get open,â&#x20AC;? Allison said. Junior Dionte Taylor also projects to be a replacement in the slot, and he

fits the mold as at 6-foot, 190 pounds. Taylor has seen limited time in his fi rst two seasons in Champaign and recorded just one catch for five yards. However, outside of returning veterans Geronimo Allison and Justin Hardee, offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said no wide receivers have separated themselves this spring. The Illini have two wide receivers signed to join the team in the fall, but without Dudek, depth at wide receiver is a concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the problem,â&#x20AC;? Cubit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to find a few more wide receivers.â&#x20AC;? If no wide receivers step up and take responsibility, Cubit said that the Illini have plenty of options on who to split

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf seniors provide chemistry, leadership to team BY LUCAS WRIGHT STAFF WRITER

Talented seniors and juniors are becoming more rare to find in college sports: high-profile student-athletes pro after a year or two, leaving collegiate teams younger and more inexperienced than ever. Lost amidst the one-anddones are the longtime mem-

bers of teams, who have dedicated their college careers to their respective teams and spent their time as role players. This is what happened to seniors Erin Ahern, Pimploy Thirati and Michelle Mayer from the Illini womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team. They help make up an overwhelming majority of

student athletes who do not go pro and are overlooked by the media. Out of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10 tournaments so far, Thirati has played in six, Ahern two and Mayer one. They have a combined scoring average of 80. However, the three accept their respective roles on the team and relish the opportunity they have been given. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we all take different responsibilities,â&#x20AC;? Thirati said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though we are seniors, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like

Illini secure second series sweep BY MICHAL DWOJAK STAFF WRITER

There were runners on fi rst and third base when Illinois baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center fielder Will Krug walked up to the plate during the bottom of the seventh inning. There was one out in the inning of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Purdue and the game was tied 1-1. After a strike and two fouls, the senior slapped a routine ground out to the shortstop. Purdue freshman Harry Shipley cleanly fielded the ball but his throw to second base sailed over the second basemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head and into foul ground on the fi rst base side. Catcher Jason Goldstein sprinted

home what would be the goahead run in Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (29-61, 8-1 Big Ten) 2-1 win over Purdue (11-24, 1-8). With the win, Illinois secured its 10th-straight victory and second series sweep of the season. The Illini beat the Boilermakers 10-5 on Saturday and 5-1 on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got our job done when it counted most,â&#x20AC;? Krug said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our pitchers picked us up today. Two runs got the job done and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a good team does.â&#x20AC;? Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game was a tightly pitched game most of the way. Both Illinois starting pitcher John Kravetz and Purdue start-

Purdue scored fi rst in the second inning when right fi elder Jordan Lewis hit a home run right at the new video scoreboard in right field to give Purdue the 1-0 lead. The Boilermakers added two more singles after the homer, but Kravetz pitched his way out of more damage.

After beginning the season 9-20, the Illinois softball team now sits at 18-21 entering a midweek matchup with the DePaul Blue Demons (15-18) and a weekend series at Eichelberger Field against a Wisconsin team that is second-to-last in the Big Ten. The most significant aspect of this midseason surge is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slew of freshman stepping up at critical moments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point in the season, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call anyone a freshman,â&#x20AC;? head coach Terri Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fi rst-year players, but they have the same expectations as anyone else to be able to make a play when we need it.â&#x20AC;? Freshman Annie Flem-

FOOTBALL out wide. To give the defense a bigger look, the Illini could put tight end Andrew Davis out in the slot or go smaller and have running back Josh Ferguson line up in the slot. Ferguson was second on the team with 50 catches last season and ranked third with 427 receiving yards. “We can do a lot of different things,” Cubit said. “Ferguson could be one of our best wideouts, but he’s also a pretty dynamic at that running back spot.” As the trickle down from shifting positions around, Cubit said the Illini will need to rely even more heavily on early enrollee Dre Brown at running back; Cubit called the freshman “one of the most improved players we have here.” “With Bill’s offense, you’re able to move people around in order to enhance their playmaking opportunities,” head coach Tim Beckman said. “We can give a lot of different looks.”

Illini triumph during Seniors Day Bazarnik and Vukic shine over weekend BY CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY STAFF WRITER

Senior Blake Bazarnik picked up the clinching win for the Illinois men’s tennis team on Sunday’s Senior Day and could be a big part of the Illini’s postseason plans. While Bazarnik did not play at all in the fall and has not played every match for the Illini this spring, he has been back in the lineup for all four matches of the past two weekends. Bazarnik is 3-1 over that span in singles and 1-0 in doubles. Bazarnik played in all three of Illinois’ matches on its Texas trip — the toughest stretch of the spring slate. He also played in the Illini’s loss to then-No. 4 Georgia at Indoor Team Nationals on Feb. 14. Before that tournament, head coach Brad Dancer spoke about the importance of his team’s depth. He said

he felt that the Illini have several guys who can fill out the lineup, especially if someone is not performing well. Bazarnik has played in some of the Illini’s most important, tournament-like atmospheres of the spring. He could provide veteran experience in the postseason for a team that gets a lot of production from three freshmen.

match, Vukic clinched the match for the Illini against then-No. 6 Baylor. On Sunday, he pressured Hobgarski the entire match. In the final game of the match, he came back from a 40-0 deficit to finish off Hobgarski. He was the first Illini to finish in singles, ending his match nearly half an hour before any other singles match.

Other Senior Day notes

While Sunday was dedicated to the seniors, freshman No. 49 Aleks Vukic put together the most impressive performance of the day. With senior partner Farris Gosea, Vukic won his doubles match 8-0 against Nebraska’s Chris Hobgarski and Andrew Dzulynsky. In singles, Vukic was dominant, beating Hobgarski 6-0, 6-0. He also picked up wins in singles and doubles against Iowa on Sunday. He’s now 16-1 on the spring season. Vukic had arguably the best fall season of any Illini, and has delivered on the promise he showed then. In just his first-ever dual

The Illini are perfect at home in the Big Ten for the second-straight year and only the second time in the last five years. Dancer gave each of the four seniors a special frosted cookie cake. Ross Guignon asked if the cookies were meant to be eaten between doubles and singles play. Each senior had a special introduction to the crowd, Guignon’s got the most laughs, mentioning the Twitter account dedicated to his fans, @RossGuignonFans. Bazarnik and Kopinski were joined by their parents.

I always felt like I was ready to graduate, even when I was a sophomore. Now, with a month left of college, I am not so ready to leave this place. Whenever old people would come up to me and say: “Enjoy these four years, they go by quick,” I wouldn’t listen to them, I would say, “Get away from me old man.” Now I know that the old man was right. College goes by really freaking fast. One of the things I will miss the most about college is the sports teams. You read that correctly: I just said that I am going to miss Illinois football and basketball. This is basically like saying I’ll miss getting punched in the stomach on a weekly basis. But it’s true. I was standing courtside when Tyler Griffey hit the game-winning last-second layup against No. 1 Indiana in 2013. I stood right behind the field goal posts when David Reisner nailed a 36-yard game-winning field goal against Penn State last season.

League Leaders The Illini’s high-octane offense is rewriting the Illinois record books largely in part of conference-leading performances by two outfielders. In last weekend’s series with Maryland, sophomore outfielder Nicole Evans smacked three home runs off the Terrapin pitching staff, giving her 16 on the season, tops in the Big Ten . “I honestly had no clue I was even close to leading the Big Ten before the series,” Evans said after Sunday’s win. “It’s a cool stat to have, but the best thing about hitting those home runs was helping us complete the series sweep.” In Sunday’s game of the series, Thomas’ first-inning RBI double gave her eight total on the year, six of which have come off Big Ten opponents. As Thomas reached second base Sunday she etched her name into the Illinois record books and became the conference leader for the most doubles hit in conference play. “To have underclassmen that contribute like they do

The Illini have certainly scored runs at a blistering pace this season, averaging nearly 10 runs a game in their last 11 outings. However, those runs typically don’t come until after the Illini have dug themselves a substantial hole early in games. In Illinois’ last 10 wins, five times the Illini did not take a permanent lead in the game until the fifth inning or later, and three times they were tied or trailing an opponent entering the seventh inning. When it does come down to the wire, Illinois seems to win in dramatic fashion. When tied at four with Illinois State entering the final inning on March 31, the Illini shut the door on the Redbirds with a Ruby Rivera walk-off home run. On April 4 at Iowa, Illinois turned a 7-7 tie into a 15-7 blowout with an eight-run top of the seventh inning . “We had seen much larger deficits early in the season during tournament play,” Thomas said. “We’ve just gotten used to being down and having to come back. Knowing what kind of offense we have, we never panic.”

In the Rangers’ 13 postseason victories last spring, Brad Richards, Brian Boyle and Benoit Pouliot had five winning goals. Dan Carcillo chipped in a couple, although they weren’t game-winners. Derek Dorsett brought energy and determined forechecking on the fourth line for 23 games. Those five forwards, as well as three defensemen, no longer are on the team. For the Rangers to stage another deep run, the players now in their roles have to match or surpass their contributions and intangibles. The mostly young trio who will fill those main roles is basically untested in the playoffs. Its leader is big rookie center Kevin Hayes, 22, who scored 30 points (12-18) in his final 39 games and strengthened the third line. J.T. Miller, 22, and Jesper Fast, 23, who played a combined seven games last spring, are regular wingers. Miller was 3-5-8 in his last 13 games, and the speedy, savvy Fast is playing a more physical game and is a superb penalty-killer. Tanner Glass, 30, who has been playing more physical of late, flanks Dom Moore and Fast on the fourth line, and James Sheppard, 26, acquired from San Jose, is a spare. On the blue line, Dan Boyle, Keith Yandle and Matt Hunwick replaced Anton Stralman, John Moore and Raphael Diaz. The major loss is Stralman, a defensive standout who left for a long-term deal with Tampa, where his game has progressed this season. Last spring, he had only five assists during the postseason but tightened the structure in the Rangers’ zone. Yandle and Boyle are more skilled offensively (Yandle had 46 assists this season), but aren’t at Stralman’s level defensively. Yandle (2-9-11 in 21 games since arriving from Arizona) and the 38-year-old Boyle (9-11-20 in 65 games) have playoff experience and should create enough plays and offensive opportunities to overcome the inevitable lapses. Hunwick has been more than dependable as a seventh defender (2-9-11, plus-17 in 55 games). Moore had only two assists last year in 21 playoff games, and Diaz played in just four. The Rangers’ first-round opponent had to go all out to make the playoffs. Unlike previous seasons, the Penguins needed a final-game win to get in. Defenseman Marc Staal generally matches up against Sidney Crosby, who has a good idea of what to expect.

Bulls coach unlikely to leave Chicago Team focused on playoffs for now BY K.C. JOHNSON TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

In 2010, after close to two decades toiling as an NBA assistant, Tom Thibodeau finally stood over his dream scenario. While serving as Doc Rivers’ associate head coach in the Celtics’ second trip to the NBA Finals in three years, Thibodeau weighed head coaching offers from the Nets, New Orleans Hornets (since changed to Pelicans) and Bulls. As Thibodeau enters the final week of his fifth regular season in Chicago, plenty of speculation exists about his future beyond this playoff run. That’s why it’s instructive to remember which job Thibodeau chose in 2010. Anyone who knows Thibodeau knows how meticulous and detailed he is. To say he researched all three job opportunities is like saying he likes watching game film. As someone who coached former Bulls coaches Scott Skiles and Vinny Del Negro and had longtime professional relationships with former assistant coaches or players including Ron Adams, Rick Brunson and Pete Myers, it’s not like Thibodeau didn’t have ample opportunity to glean

Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau talks about the trade of 10-year veteran Luol Deng at the United Center in Chicago on Jan. 7, 2014. There have been rumors throughout the season that the coach might not be with the team next year. insight and background on the inner workings of the Bulls organization. Again, turning down the then-fresh-faced billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov in Brooklyn and the opportunity to coach Chris Paul in New Orleans, Thibodeau chose the Bulls. In other words, surely he had to know there might be aspects of the organization that might displease him and he still made the informed decision he did. This makes the scenario of him leaving on his own accord with two years left on his Bulls extension hard to envision. Thibodeau has been around the NBA long enough to know the grass isn’t always greener elsewhere. Some of those clos-

est to him emphasize how much he loves living in Chicago and the roster. Heck, Thibodeau had some input on the design of his office in the gleaming new practice facility. Similarly, Thibodeau, who some have speculated seeks personnel control if he lands a new job, has publicly stated he’s content merely having a voice in transaction decisions. While sources at the time indicated the January 2014 Luol Deng trade caught him off guard, Thibodeau, according to sources, was a big advocate of last summer’s Doug McDermott draft-day acquisition. The Tribune reported in January that a mutual parting wouldn’t surprise many league personnel familiar with Thibodeau’s occa-

sionally fractious relationship with the front office. Since then, the Tribune has reported no definitive decision has been made regarding Thibodeau’s future. That applies to both sides. On Friday, longtime NBA writer Ric Bucher reported in a video post on Bleacher Report that people connected to Thibodeau are exploring potential future options, including the Magic, should he and the Bulls part ways. It’s easy to envision Rivers, who has maintained close ties with Magic executives who once hired him as coach, serving as an exploratory intermediary. Nevertheless, league sources indicate Skiles and former Warriors coach Mark Jackson will draw strong consideration

from Magic general manager Rob Hennigan, who hasn’t commented publicly on the status of interim head coach James Borrego, who has served admirably as Jacque Vaughn’s replacement. The playoffs begin Saturday with the Bulls needing one victory or one Wizards’ loss to clinch home-court advantage in the first round. Derrick Rose is healthy and looking good and the Bulls are 16-5 with their starting lineup intact. Nobody knows how this playoff run or Thibodeau’s job status will unfold. The common ground that unites players, coaches, executives and ownership is the goal of a championship. That’s the organizational focus now, as it should be.

trustees at its next meeting set for June 3-4. Meyer wrapped up his third season with the Buckeyes, leading the team to a Big Ten title and a national championship. In three seasons, Ohio State is 38-3 under Meyer including a 24-0 record against the Big Ten.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Yordano Ventura works in the first inning against the San Francisco Giants in Game 6 of the World Series at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on Oct. 28.

Hydration key for Ventura’s success Pitcher needs to improve habits BY ANDY MCCULLOUGH TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MINNEAPOLIS — Yordano Ventura felt his right foot tighten up as he dueled with Angels star Mike Trout in the sixth inning of a Royals romp on Sunday. It was the onset of a cramp in his right calf and a recurrence of the issue that plagued him in his first start of the season. In two outings this year, Ventura has proved both intimidating to opposing hitters and susceptible to dehydration. Ventura dealt with this issue in “very mild” fashion in 2014, team trainer Nick Kenney indicated on Monday afternoon. But never to this degree. To combat the issue, Kenney and the training staff will continue to work with Ventura to keep him upright during the more humid summer months. Ventura requires tweaks to his fluid intake and pregame eating habits, Kenney explained. Kenney suggested Ventura sometimes does not eat as much as he needs to before games, which can contribute to his condition. “It’s not just about drinking,” Kenney said. “It’s about eating, too. And some guys get a nervous stomach. And they don’t want to eat on the day that they’re

BLOOMINGTON, Indiana — Indiana, it seems, never passes on a chance for basketball drama. And so we have junior point guard Yogi Ferrell set to make his stay-or-gopro decision on April 25 at a northside Indianapolis steakhouse . According to Jeff Rabjohns of peegs.com, the Ruth’s Chris location is the same

where Ferrell’s father, Kevin Ferrell Sr., held a recent fundraiser for his The Kevin Ferrell Foundation. Regardless, it will be a big event the day before the April 26 deadline for college players to announce their enter-the-NBA draft intentions. The 6 -foot (maybe) Ferrell projects as a secondround pick. Draftexpress.

com has him as the No. 41 overall pick and the 10th best prospect among college juniors. Ferrell’s mother, Lydia, tweeted that her son is still evaluating. “Yogi has NOT made a decision,” she tweeted. “He is still researching so don’t jump to conclusions! Just a deadline he gave his family.”

“He looks small, or he looks thin, but he’s a competitor out there. And he’s not afraid of no man.”

Chicago Blackhawks’ right wing Patrick Kane suffers an injury after a cross check by Florida Panthers defenseman Alex Petrovic during the first period Feb. 24 at the United Center in Chicago.

Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane cleared to play again Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane was cleared for contact Monday, marking the first time since his return to the ice during shoulder-injury rehab that he practiced without wearing a non-contact sweater . Kane said afterward that he didn’t “really know yet” if he will play in Game 1

of the Hawks’ first-round playoff series against the Predators, set for Wednesday in Nashville. Kane, who missed the final 21 games of the regular season after suffering a broken left collarbone Feb. 24, skated on a line with Kris Versteeg and center Brad Richards.

In his first full practice without wearing a non-contact sweater, Kane raced up and down the ice during line rushes and fired wrist shots and slap shots. When asked if Kane could play in Game 1 against the Predators, Quenneville said: “Yeah, he could.”

Dragic remains focused Upcoming free agency does not deter Miami guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last three, four weeks were so crazy,â&#x20AC;? Dragic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything was important for us. I tried to get my body right. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to think about (free agency). Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to my teammates to think about the future. Right now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m part of this team. I give everything that I got on the court. We still got two games left. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not thinking about that.â&#x20AC;? At some point in this offseason, Dragic said he will discuss it with his family and agent. His brother, Zoran, is also on the Heat roster.

BY SHANDEL RICHARDS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Heat guard Goran Dragic insists the thought has never entered his mind the last month. With the team in the middle of trying to secure a postseason berth, Dragic had no time to think about the decision he will have to make in the offseason. After joining the Heat at the trade deadline in mid-February, he becomes a free agent July 1. He says he will begin to weigh his options once the season ends.

The two played together with the Phoenix Suns and will likely remain teammates wherever they play in 2015-16. The Los Angeles Lakers are among who have been reportedly interested in Goran Dragic. Dragic did, however, hint staying in Miami seemed the best option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a free agent,â&#x20AC;? Dragic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like this organization. Hopefully, I can stay here and try to have a good season next year.â&#x20AC;? Dragic said he was most impressed with how the Heat refused to quit this season despite the unfortunate circumstances. They played the second half of the season without projected starters

Chris Bosh and Josh McRoberts. Both are set to return

next season along with the emerging Hassan Whiteside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The future is bright,â&#x20AC;? Dragic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you

look, one of the main guys is out and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Bosh. (Dwyane Wade) was hurt most of the season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really tough to say because I was not here the whole season. Like all the players were saying, they went through some hard times. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I love about this team. They never surrendered. They never made excuses. Who you got, you go there, you battle.â&#x20AC;? The only disappointment is the possibility of missing the postseason. Dragic, who has only appeared in one playoff series, arrived in Miami one year after the franchise made four straight trips to the NBA Finals.
