Police arrest suspect in hit-and-run

By Roberto HodgeMulticultural Editor |@BertoHodge

He had to come up with the menu to serve his customers within four weeks on top of purchasing the food, up to $13, to serve customers in order to run his own restaurant, Pantera Tuesday evening.

Alex Anderson, a senior family and consumer sci-ences major, said he enjoyed going through the sim-ulation of running his own restaurant in real-time, which is part of the family and consumer sciences curriculum.

Pantera, which is Spanish for panther, is the name of the restaurant. Students are given the chance to run the resaurant located in Khlem Hall for an entire night with help from professional chefs from around the Eastern-Charleston area.

“Everyone gets the rush of (running) a restaurant,” Anderson said. “It’s a good feeling when you get the food out.”

Anderson, who acted both as the meal manager and chef, was the first in his class to start the restau-rant simulation for the semester. He said he expect-ed something to go wrong, but still had a good time and enjoyed it.

He said trying to get everyone to understand and act on his personal vision was difficult along with the unanticipated 40 customers who attended. Anderson said he was running out of whipped cream so he had to use a smaller amount.

He added the team got off to a good start and ev-erything was running smoothly with the customers liking everything that was served, but he wished he could have seasoned the food a little more heavily.

Anderson said he received nothing but positive comments from the food.

Despite enjoying what he’s doing, Anderson said he’s unsure of it he wants to do it for a career, but has thought about it.

“I love cooking, but it will always be an option (rather) than a commitment,” Anderson said.

Jim Painter, a family and consumer sciences pro-fessor and the one in charge of the entire course, said he began the course when he was at the University of Illinois. He has a restaurant called “Spice Box,” and he said wanted to bring something similar to Eastern.

Painter said the idea of the restaurant is to allow students to run their own business for a night, where they purchase, prepare and serve their own food. Once finished, they must write up their own profit or losses with the food.

“They learn everything they need to know to start up their own restaurant,” Painter said.

From running Pantera students should be able to handle customer complaints and anything that comes at them he added.

There were two separate menus to help avoid pos-sible allergies, but there may be a time when that’s not enough and the student must create a new meal to accommodate to that person, Painter said.

“They have to learn on the fly,” Painter said. Painter explained he is entering his seventh year

doing this. He said they have done something like this, but he was able to get restaurant chefs to come and help the students from Effingham, Champaign,

and Paris.“It’s a real hands on field of study,” Painter said of

the simulation. Paul Mejdrich, the food and beverage director of

the Brick House Bar and Grill restaurant, said he has been helping the students out with their restaurant for three years. Over the course of his tenure on the project, he has seen students who have been enthusi-astic about running their own business.

He meets with the students and helps them with their vision of the restaurant. Mejdrich said he may

hand out food ideas for the menu, but overall the stu-dents run everything.

Mejdrich said he has a better idea of what to ex-pect when helping students, and the most common issue they have is anticipating productivity and plat-ing.

“When you cook for a lot of people, you really need a lot of direction,” Mejdrich said.

Police arrested a driver on Thursday who was suspected in the hit-and-run incident that took

place near the in-tersection of Fourth Street and Grant Avenue on Sept. 21.

The Charleston Police Department charged Jose Garcia-Cardiel with leaving the scene of an acci-

dent resulting in death or great bodily harm. Officers were alerted to a vehicle that matched

the description of a vehicle released in a photo on the CPD Facebook page. The photo was taken outside of Marty’s. This information came through a press release on Tuesday.

Garcia-Cardiel was taken to the Coles County Safety and Detention Center. The charge, causing accidental injury or death, is a Class 4 Felony. This charge could result in one to three years in prison and a maximum $50,000. Bond has been set at 10 percent of the $50,000.

Alexandria Ward, a special education major, was the victim in the hit-and-run. Her condition has not been released.

Light shed on Lil Bibby cancelation

By Roberto HodgeMulticultural Editor | @BertoHodge

A home invasion reportedly took place on the 1500 block of First Street in which two fe-males were assaulted, with one having been sex-ually assaulted, according to an Eastern emer-gency notification alert sent out at around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday.

The Charleston Police Department is search-ing for two African-American male suspects.

One is tall and slender with short hair and wearing jeans, and the second is short and wear-ing jeans with long dreads pulled up, according to the alert.

Anyone with information regarding the inci-dent is asked to contact the Charleston Police Department at 581-3212 or 911 for emergen-cies.

Sexualassaultreported off campus

By Jarad Jarmon Associate News Editor | @JJarmonReporter

The Untold Truth and Twon’s Kitchen host-ed EIU’s Wildin’ Out event featuring Chicago rap artist Lil Bibby was canceled because the or-ganizations did not follow proper protocol lead-

ing up to event. Ceci Brinker, the director of Student Life,

said the organizations were not prepared to host the show.

She said they did not meet some of the re-quirements necessary to host the type of show they planned on having in the Martin Luther

King Jr. University Union. Brinker said the Union staffs originally were

told in the beginning that the RSOs were just planning a variety show, neglecting to mention bringing an artist to campus.

The Student Senate will encour-age writing on the Doudna steps as part of its “your voice matters” campaign in which students will get a chance to voice their opinions on campus.

Student Body President Regi-nald Thedford said students will be allowed to write out their concerns

and opinions on the steps outside of the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

“Students will write words to express what they feel about East-ern and changes they want to see,” Thedford said.

He said students interested in writing on the Doudna steps will be provided with chalk and guided in the process.

“Student Government members will be writing as well as inviting

students to join,” Thedford said. “We will tell students what they can write, but nothing that will be too controversial.”

He said writing on the steps was initiated to encourage students to voice out their opinions in an area where many students like to hang out.

“This is the first time Student Government has done something like this,” Thedford said.

He said it will be a simple way to get students involved.

“It will be a very informal event” Thedford said. “We want to keep it open and fun.”

The writing will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday at the steps outside of Dounda.

A Scottish bagpipe solo provid-ed the soundtrack to the begin-ning of the end of the Concerts in the Park series at Kiwanis Park Tuesday.

Irish Music Circle was the en-tertainment of the night, as they provided both t radi t ional and non-traditional Irish folk music to the community in a semi-cir-cle despite what their name might suggest.

Members of the band includ-ed communi ty member s f rom Charleston, Mattoon and the sur-rounding areas.

The per formers gave gues t s lyr ic sheets so they could s ing along to a handful of tradition-al Ir i sh songs, which included “Galway Girl,” “I’ll Tell Me Ma,” “Molly Malone” and “Wild Rov-er.”

Following the bagpipe feature, the band played “The Banshee,” which appeared to be a crowd fa-vorite.

“Rare Old Mountain Dew,” “St. Anne’s Reel ,” Blackberry Blos-som” and “Wild Rover,” were also played throughout the show.

Although the audience was not as large as the previous crowd at the Motherlode concert, the small crowd of 12 people did not lack enthusiasm.

“Galaway Girl” was the f irst of many tunes the audience sang along to.

The chil l autumn winds also did not seem to keep away the au-dience members, as many brought their own chairs and blankets to relax as they watched the show.

The band played various string instruments, including fiddles, guitars, mandolins, and the Scot-tish bagpipes.

“Sometimes we have so many instruments that we don’t know

who plays what,” a band member said.

Another song included high lev-els of crowd participation when the band performed “I’ll Tell Me Ma,” fol lowed by “John Ryan’s Polka.”

A band member told the crowd, “there seems to be a connection between Irish music and whiskey,” prior to playing a handful of songs involving the popular liquor.

“Whiskey for Breakfast,” “Old Kentucky Whiskey” and “Whiskey

in the Jar” were then performed.Despite the constant interrup-

tions of loud cars and motorcy-cles driving by, the band seemed to perform seamlessly.

A r e n d i t i o n o f “A m a z i n g Grace” pleased the crowd with a special bagpipe feature.

“Mol ly Malone” and “ Wi ld Rover” we’re played with an en-thusiastic sing-a-long and clap-ping from the audience.

Othe r s ong s the band pe r -formed included “Cold Frosty

Morning,” “Lament of the First Generation,” “Bonaparte Cross-ing the Rhine,” “Devil Haystack,” “Redhaired Boy,” “Loch Lavan Castle,” “Sheebeg and Sheemore,” “Senecca Squaredance,” “Tripping and Sqallowtail,” “Off to Califor-nia” and “Old Rosin the Bow.”

T h e b a n d e n d e d t h e s h ow with an Irish tune titled “Parting Glass.”

Irish Music Circle also performs on the first, third and fifth Tues-days of each month at Jackson Av-

enue Coffee coffeehouse.The Irish Music Circle was the

last per formance of this year’s Concert in the Park series. Next year’s series will begin in the late summer and last until the early fall.

Opinions Editor Robert Downen

In their first joint, televised appear-ance of the 2014 campaign, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and his GOP challenger Jim Oberweis were engaged in a heated debate over whether to require universal background checks for firearm purchases.

Durbin, who is currently projected as leading Oberweis by almost 14 points, said requiring more stringent back-ground checks could be a major catalyst in curbing rampant gun violence across the nation.

Durbin has also been an outspoken supported to federal gun control legisla-tion during his tenure on Capitol Hill.

On Monday, he spoke on extending mandatory background checks in Chi-cago, where police said a recent study found almost 60 percent of guns are bought in states like Indiana, Wisconsin and Mississippi, wherein there are much less stringent gun laws.

We could not agree with Durbin’s approach more. Largely lost in the myr-iad of other serious economic, politi-

cal and social issues currently affect-ing America is the fight for tighter gun laws, and while there have been measures implemented at both the state and feder-al level, we feel requiring universal back-ground checks is a relative no-brainer.

Opponents of the measure are quick to cite Second Amendment rights as a key argument against such checks.

And while we appreciate that senti-ment, as well as understand that a large, large majority of gun owners are by all means responsible, if such action can keep guns out of the hands of convicted felons or people mentally unfit to carry, then we think it is worth trying.

Simply put, the positives of such leg-islation drastically outweigh any possible negatives.

And if we, as a society, can keep one more person alive through legislative channels—if we can prevent even one loss of life—then we are morally respon-sible to do so.

Even in his argument against the mea-

sure, Jim Oberweis revealed that fact: “I want to understand what will actually work, what isn’t just one more attempt, one more regulation that isn’t going to be effective,” Oberweis said.

And while Oberweis did make some other fair points- namely, Chicago’s ram-pant gun problem, despite having some of the tightest laws in the nation- he also validates Durbin, and the pro-gun con-trol lobby’s, point: we aren’t absolutely positive such legislation will be effective.

But- and again- we have run out of other options, and we might as well try. Doing so just might save a life, whereas continuing to do nothing will only keep us on this violent, deadly path.

In background check debate, Durbin is correct

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:Community has “disdain” for black Eastern students

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my concern as an Alumni of EIU about the staff editorial “Upcoming concert sends confusing mes-sage”. The article stated that the concert, “sends a very poor message to the outside community...” and called the hosting of the event on campus “questionable”.

As a member of the black community, I understand the need for culturally relevant activities. Charleston is roughly 88 per-cent white and 7 percent black.

The community does not offer any cul-tural activities for black students and has shown its disdain for the black communi-ty on several occasions. Yet, when black groups do provide their own social outlets their culture is criticized and called into question.

Black students pay tuition, contribute to the economy of Charleston, and serve the community. These students are con-stantly harassed in a culturally deplet-ed space that cares more about white fear then black students enjoying their colle-giate experience through social engage-ment.

Harkening back to the “barn par-ty shooting” associates black culture with violence. Plus, the “Barn Party” was an off-campus event that left hundreds of black students traumatized, but somehow only the fear of the community matters.

Criticizing black events makes one wonder whether the goal is to have black student abandon their own culture and assimilate to the dominate one. The DEN, EIU, and the Charleston commu-nity should not disguise their fear as an issue of “perception,” but instead confront their anti-blackness, while working to cre-ate an environment that allows students to engage in their culture.

Respectfully,

Andrea Yarbrough-Morris 2013 Eastern Graduate

Exactly one year ago, a notice was posted on the Statue of Lib-erty informing people that the government had effectively shut down while Congress was deadlocked against a budget.

And in the time span, people flocked to the Internet and fo-rums to complain about the people they elected and the jobs they were doing.

Well, guess what—now is the time for change. Think back to anything from the past year and if you were displeased by any-thing the elected officials did, remember now is the time to vote.

And voting begins with registering. With elections coming this November, Eastern provides a mul-

titude of ways to help get students registered too vote — some-thing students shouldn’t let slip away.

Whether you are registered to vote in Coles County or back home, it doesn’t matter — just take advantage of your right to vote.

Absentee ballots are currently being accepted through Oct. 30 (yeah, the day before Halloween. Mark your calendars.). If you want to vote back home, register on the election board website and get it done.

Voting is too important to pass up. No matter what election currently is going on, take time to vote.

The first step, of course, rests with getting registered. All week long, the Student Senate hosts a voter registration drive from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. outside the food court of the Martin Luther

King Jr. University Union.

Registering takes minutes of your life. And it’s something that will impact you for the rest of your life.

And if you forget to register while the Student Senate is host-ing the drive, you can always register by mail, through the Illinois election board website.

Voting is your right as an American. And it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Earlier this week, we wrote about the importance of local and state elections. But in order to get involved with those poli-tics, you need to register.

Don’t get caught up in the hustle and flow of your life, and for-get to register. It doesn’t matter if it’s for Coles County or back home, as absentee voting is still a great way to keep involved with the politics.

Make plans now for absentee voting, too. If you know you’ll be away Nov. 4, whether out of town or just busy, get an absen-tee ballot.

It should be one of your biggest priorities going into this No-vember. Media outlets constantly cover voter apathy—why peo-ple aren’t voting. This could be the election to turn things around and have a spike in the voting for Illinois.

Don’t squander a task that takes only a few minutes out of your life—especially one that will have ramifications on your life for much longer.

Voter registration is too important to pass

The Eastern music department is looking towards gaining community participation this semester through the Oratorio Society, a community choral group.

Richard Rossi, the society director and Eastern’s concert choir, said the society usu-ally consists of Eastern faculty, staff as well as the Charleston community.

The Oratorio Society will perform with the University Concert Choir, University Mixed Chorus and the Eastern Symphony

Orchestra at the upcoming annual Holiday concert at 4 p.m. Dec. 7 in the Dvorak Con-cert Hall in the Doudna Fine Arts Center.

“Fantasia on Christmas Carols” arranged by Vaughan Williams and “Many Moods of Christmas” arranged by Robert Russell Ben-nett and Robert Shaw will be performed at the concert.

Rehearsals for the concert will take place at noon on Wednesdays, beginning Oct. 14.

The Oratorio Society will also be per-forming at the Ovations concert with East-ern’s Symphony Orchestra at 4 p.m. April 19 in the Dvorak Concert Hall at Doudna.

Choral Masterpieces Through the Ages including works by Bach, Handel, Hadyn, Brahms and Faure will be performed by the Oratorio Society at Ovations.

Rehearsals for the Ovations concert will begin Feb. 15.

Those interested in joining the Oratorio Society should contact Rossi and provide him with their name, voice part and contact information.

Rossi said the Oratorio Society differs from Eastern’s other choral ensembles be-cause it is a community-based group that joins students in the ensembles for larger

performances throughout the year.Students already involved with the Uni-

versity Mixed Chorus or Concert Choir may not also join the Oratorio Society, Ros-si said.

Tickets for the Holiday Concert are $12 for the general audience, $10 for senior cit-izens and $5 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the Doudna Box Office.

Having worked for the Uni-versity Police Department for al-most 26 years, Lt. Harold Har-ris died on Sept. 22 following a two-year battle with lymphoma.

Harris, an ’89 Eastern gradu-ate, was 47 years old.

Harris was promoted to lieu-tenant in July 2005, though he started at UPD as a patrol officer in Feb. 1989, just one month af-ter Lt. Phil Lang.

Aside from working with Harris for nearly 26 years, Lang said they also shared an office for the past nine years.

The two officers were pro-moted on the very same day.

Lang said during all that time, Harris has taken on count-less roles, including an under-cover narcotics officer, field trainer, certified sniper, Rape Aggression Defense instruc-tor and security guard at com-

mencement ceremonies.He said some of Harris’ big-

gest strengths were making quick decisions and getting peo-ple to cooperate.

“He did the university jus-tice,” Lang said. “Not in the le-gal sense; he did justice just by being who he was and being fair to students.”

Lang said the university po-lice setting is different than oth-ers in that it involves a lot more public relations in working so closely with the various facets on campus.

“It’s sort of a lost art, but something he was really good at,” Lang said.

Lang said Harris was always willing to help people on or off the job; he even recalls a time when he had to cut down trees at his home, and Harris showed up with a chainsaw ready to help.

“He was liked by just about everyone he ran into,” Lang said.

Along with the many duties he carried out for Eastern, Har-ris is remembered for his friend-ly yet powerful presence.

Gary Foster, a retired sociolo-gy professor, had Harris as a stu-dent in the late ‘80s and kept in contact with him for years after he graduated.

He said Harris was quiet and reserved in class; however, when he did speak, he commanded at-tention.

“He had a very distinctive, very rich baritone kind of voice, and when he spoke, other peo-ple stopped talking just to hear him talk,” Foster said.

Foster said that type of pres-ence was likely a useful tool for a police officer, because when Harris would speak, he would calm everyone down and get them to listen.

“Beyond just being a law en-forcement officer, he was a real peace officer,” Foster said.

When Blair Hall had a fire

in 2004, Harris would visit the temporary offices in Pemberton Hall to see how the individu-al faculty members were faring, Foster said.

“He was a friend and a hu-man being before he was any-thing else,” Foster said.

Though he always had the sense that Harris wanted to be a police officer, as many sociology students do, Foster said he was struck the first time he saw Har-ris in uniform.

“It was almost kind of star-tling, kind of jolting, because he was so unassuming, so gen-tle, so low-key, and it was just a real surprise to see him in a po-lice uniform,” Foster said, “And I remember later thinking there should be more police officers like Harold.”

She said many of the pro-tocols and procedures nec-essary when bringing an en-tertainer were neglected.

When f l i e r s and mar -keting were sent through-o u t t h e c a m p u s r o u g h -ly two weeks ago, red flags a ro se in the Union . She said they were unaware the RSOs were bringing an art-ist, which requires signing a contract.

“A s t u d e n t g r o u p , b y themselves, is not set up to s ign off on contracts and c o m m i t t h e m s e l v e s a n d commit the univers i ty to anything with profession-al entertainers or services,” Brinker said.

Br inker sa id the RSOs had also not paid for insur-ance, which is required for this type of show. The lia-bility that goes along with a show l ike th i s i s h igh ,

meaning insurance is a ne-cessity.

Because the event more closely resembled a concert, different insurance was re-quired for the event, differ-ent from comedy shows or movie screenings.

The RSOs had also not planned for security at the time. Brinker said they did not plan to have the Uni-versity Police Department come to ensure safety at the show.

Once found out, Brink-er said she, Cathy Engel-kes, the Union General Op-erat ions deputy director, and other Union staff then tried to work with them to get these things before the quickly approaching dead-line.

Br inker sa id the RSOs did not know how to go about getting these things

or even that they needed them in the first place.

Brinker said despite ef-forts made, “getting all of their ducks in a row” proved to not be f rui t ful resul t -ing in the cancelation. She said normally for shows in-volving artists, three to four weeks of preparation are re-quired.

With only two, there was not enough time, she said.

The adviser of the RSO pulled the plug because they did not have al l that was needed for the event.

Engelkes said there was not enough time get all of the necessities for show.

“We remain ready and w i l l ing to a s s i s t Unto ld Truth when the RSO lead-ership brings back all of the details needed to reschedule the proposed event,” Engel-kes said.

Brinker said because of the complications that arose with this show, she is cur-rently researching peer insti-tutions to see how they han-dle student organizations who want to bring perform-ers to campus.

“We were not aware that student organizations were doing as much contracting with artists and services,” she said.

Brinker said if there are any questions or uncertain-ties with what an RSO is doing when planning events like these, it is their respon-sibility to ask the staff how to go about bringing acts to campus.

“They need to start with the university,” Brinker said.

Former Eastern quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his NFL debut with the New England Patriots on Mon-day Night Football, when he finished 6-of-7 for 70 yards, including his first career touchdown pass against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Garoppolo replaced Tom Brady with 10:34 left in the fourth quar-ter after the three-time Super Bowl champion threw his second intercep-tion of the night that was returned 39 yards for a touchdown by Husain Abdullah.

Eastern’s all-time leading quar-terback completed two passes in his first drive before throwing a 13-yard touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski, with 7:25 left in the fourth quarter. Garoppolo played in the Patriots final two offensive possessions.

“It was one of those situations where you’ve got to be ready to go at all times,” Garoppolo said after the game. “ I’m a relief pitcher, pretty much, so that’s my job. Go out there and put plays together, that’s all you can do at that point in the game.”

The Patriots selected Garoppolo in the second round of the NFL Draft, 62nd overall He beat out Ryan Mal-lett in the preseason, as New Eng-land’s back up quarterback.

“Obviously, first time, there’s a bunch of learning experiences,” Garoppolo said. “It’s a good experi-ence to get that out of the way.”

Eastern Kentucky head coach Dean Hood gave Garoppolo favor-able comparisons to current NFL starters that he coached against when he was at Wake Forest.

“I’ve had the misfortune of hav-ing to defend (Jay) Cutler and Phil-ip Rivers, a ton of them and this kid is in the same mold,” Hood said. “It doesn’t surprise me of anything that kid does good.”

Garoppolo capped off his record-breaking regular season last year with six passing touchdowns in Eastern’s 70-22 win at Tennessee-Martin on Nov. 23.

Jason Simpson, who is the Sky-hawks head coach, and has seen Garoppolo during his four years with the Panthers remembers that game perfectly, but is now cheering for the former Eastern quarterback.

“I cheer for him everyday now af-ter scoring 70 points against us last year,” Simpson said. “That’s great for the league. I think he’s a great kid. I’m proud for Eastern Illinois and proud for the OVC.

Although most coaches from the OVC are more than happy to see Garoppolo make his NFL debut in-stead of throwing passes against their teams, there is one coach who wish-es that Garoppolo were still wearing a No. 10 jersey for Eastern.

First-year Eastern coach Kim Dameron said he wishes Garoppolo was still in Charleston.

“Obviously, you watch him and you long for him,” Dameron said. “You wish he was still here for one more year.”

Dameron said Garoppolo not only

represented Eastern well Monday night, the quarterback put the FCS in a good light as well.

“I think it shows that there are good players in every level of com-petition in college football,” Damer-on said. “The entirety of the FCS can look at him and say, ‘there’s our best player from last year in the country and he doesn’t take a back seat to any-body in the NFL.’”

OVC coaches praise Garoppolo

FILE PHOTO | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSFormer Eastern quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, now a member of the New England Patriots, made his first career regular season appearance Monday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Garoppolo went 6-for-7, throwing for 70 yards and a touchdown. The Patriots lost 41-14.

Both led the Panthers in blocks last weekend, with Hueston tab-bing six against Jacksonville State.

This wil l be the first of four home games for the Panthers . The Panthers finished undefeated at home last season, and hope to continue that this fall.

“We are excited to finally be at home, and hopefully we can give the fans a reason to want to come back,” Price said.

After the first week of confer-ence play, Murray State is 2-0 and at the top of the Ohio Valley Con-ference women’s soccer standings, whi le Eastern got of f to a 0-2 start.

The Racers picked up two wins during the weekend, beating Ten-nessee Tech and Jacksonville State by scores of 3-0 in Murray, Ky., on Friday and Sunday.

The Racers take on Southern Il-linois-Edwardsville on Friday and Southeast Missouri on Sunday.

Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Southeast Missouri are both 1-0 after both beating Eastern during the weekend.

The OVC’s top goal scorer, se-nior forward Julie Mooney, leads Murray State with eight goals so far this season. Mooney is a gradu-ate of Francis Howell High School in St. Charles, Mo., the same high school as Eastern’s Lindsey Mari-no and Cassie Willhite.

The Racers only won three con-ference matches all of last season, finishing 6-10-1 and 3-7 in the OVC, missing the tournament. So far this year, the Racers have already matched their win total from last season, starting 2014 with a record of 6-5.

The Racers picked up non-con-ference wins over Georgia State, Saint Louis, IUPUI and Northern Kentucky. Eastern took on both IUPUI and Northern Kentucky in its non-conference schedule, losing to both. Murray State was picked to finish ninth in the OVC preseason poll.

Eastern does not meet Murray State until Oct. 17 at Lakeside Field. The Panthers beat Murray State 2-1 last season.

The Panthers’ two opponents this weekend, Belmont and Austin Peay, started out the OVC sched-

ule 0-0-2 and 1-1, respectively.Be lmont was the only OVC

team to tie both of its matches, playing to a 2-2 draw with More-head State on Friday and then ty-ing 0-0 with Eastern Kentucky on Sunday.

Aust in Peay got off to a 1-0 start with a 3-1 win over Eastern Kentucky on Friday, but fell 2-1 to Morehead State on Sunday.

The Governors played with a player advantage for nearly 50 minutes in the match, but were still unable to hold off Morehead State, the preseason favorites to win the conference championship.

Austin Peay quickly t ied the match after trai l ing 1-0 in the second half, but Morehead State scored the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute. Morehead State’s draw with Belmont on Friday puts the Eagles at 1-0-1 and in second place in the OVC.

Tennessee Tech is the only oth-er 0-2 team along with Eastern. The Panthers take on Belmont at 3 p.m. Friday and Austin Peay at 1 p.m. Sunday. Both matches are at Lakeside Field.

Murray State leads OVC women’s soccer after first weekend

By Dominic RenzettiAssistant Sports Editor | @domrenzetti

Former UNLV guard Deville Smith is heading to the Ohio Val-ley Conference for his fourth school in four years and will be able to play right away, according to a report by NBCSports.

Smith has received a waiver and will be eligible to play for Tennes-see-Martin immediately this season, according to the NBCSports report posted Monday. He first committed

to the Skyhawks in August. He will have one year of eligibility.

Smith started 18 games as a junior and averaged 9.7 points per game. Smith, who was rated by ESPN as the 14th best point guard in the country coming out of Callaway High School in Jackson, Miss., spent his freshman season at Mississippi State. He trans-ferred to Southwest Mississippi Com-munity College in 2012 before head-ing back to the Division I ranks at UNLV.

Tennessee-Martin finished 8-23

last season and fired head coach Jason James at the end of the year. Former UNLV assistant coach Heath Schroy-er replaced James.

Eastern takes on Tennessee-Mar-tin twice this season, first on Jan. 29, 2015, on the road, then on Feb. 19, 2015, at Lantz Arena. Eastern has a UNLV transfer of its own in senior guard Reggie Smith, who left the Rebels after the 2011-12 season.

Eastern continues OVC schedule this weekend

Frank Graziano sat at the dinner table with rabbit on his plate, but there was only one problem — he is a vegetarian.

For the Eastern rugby coach, the decision was easy. It wasn’t just any other dinner. He was in the home of Madsion Overbey, who he was re-cruiting to play rugby at Eastern.

“I didn’t want to insult them, so I wound up eating the rabbit,” Gra-ziano said. “It was fine. I hadn’t had chicken in about 8-to-10 years. If I cheat, it is like once a year or once every two years and this was once a year cheating. It was delicious food.”

Graziano added that he only ate one little piece of the rabbit.

During the dinner, they had corn that was picked right from their corn stalk. The potatoes were fresh-ly grown and they had blueberry pie, which had had blueberries picked from their blueberry tree.

“Everything was homemade and we had a great time,” he said. “It was absolutely delicious food. I was there for about four or five hours.”

This was all happening in the town of Cissna Park, Ill., which is about 45 minutes north of Champaign in Iro-quois County.

The town of about 830 people and has about .7 square miles of land area.

Overbey said growing up in such a small community has more pros than cons.

“Everyone knows who you are, you know who everyone is,” she said. “It is such a loving community since you know everybody. You get so much support in everything you do. The community loves the sports.”

While at Cissna Park High School, Overbey was a three-sport athlete and played volleyball, basketball and softball.

Her high school enrollment, ac-cording to the school’s website, was about 119 people.

During one of her basketball games at St. Joseph-Ogden High School in St. Joseph, Ill., Eastern rug-by coach Frank Graziano was attend-ing the game to recruit someone else

from St. Joseph-Ogden.While recruiting that player, Gra-

ziano ended up sending a recruiting packet to Overbey because of the abilities that she had when seeing her on the basketball court.

“I was very impressed initially with her athletic ability, her toughness and her ability to hustle up and down the floor,” he said. “All of those things are the things I need on the rugby field and those are the uncoachable type things.”

With Overbey not getting the rug-by packet until about a month later, when she got it, she said she had to

leave her classroom to call her parents to let them know the news.

“I was already accepted to Eastern and I wanted to go to Eastern,” she said. “I’ve walked passed the rugby field, not even knowing what it was and saying ‘Oh! I would wanna play that’. So, when I got it, my heart was in my stomach, and I couldn’t believe that somebody wanted me to come play rugby. It was definitely crazy.”

Overbey wanted to already come to Eastern to major in Special Educa-tion, because of the terrific program that Eastern offers and she does have a cousin that has a disability

“I was going to do occupational therapy, until last year when I took an aid class in our school, with the special ed kids,” she said. “Within the first week, that is what I knew what I was supposed to do.”

Now that Overbey is at Eastern, she has been playing rugby for about seven weeks and Graziano said every day she is taking a step forward ev-eryday.

“Sometimes it’s a big step,” he said. “She got a chance to run the ball in the game this Saturday and ran about 25 yards. That is first time she had a long run. She already scored once for

us. She is picking it up very quickly.” Overbey’s first try of her career

came in the game at Lindenwood on Sept. 16.

Overbey said the biggest influence on her sports career has been her dad.

“He played sports throughout his whole life,” she said. “He is always expecting me to be better than I have been and he is always there no mat-ter what. If I am playing tic-tac-toe he wants me to win.”

Small town player settles in at Eastern

By Blake NashStaff Reporter | @Banash5

After a month of away games, the Eastern volleyball team returns to Lantz Arena at 6 p.m. Wednesday for its home opener against their in-state rivals Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.

Eastern will go into this match wi th an over -all record of 6-9, while SIUE is cu r ren t l y 8 -9 this season. Both teams are com-ing off identi-cal 0-2 starts to their Ohio Val-ley Conference season, follow-ing road losses to Tennessee Tech and Jacksonville State.

The Cougars are led by middle backer Kristen Torre, who totaled 48 kills in two days of play last week-end, including a career-high and the

school’s Division I record, 29, in a five-set loss to the Gamecocks. She also recorded nineteen kills in their five-set loss to Tennessee Tech.

Eastern head coach Kate Price said her team needs to identify where Torre is at all times and to try to neu-tralize her.

“Torre is a key kid for them and has been a leading scorer for much of the season,” Price said. “We cannot focus on stopping a key kid. She’s go-ing to score, but we need to neutral-ize her and always identify where she is and work to have a double block in front of her.”

Freshman Ashley Witt has also been performing well for the Cougars, tying Torre as the team’s leading scor-er against Tennessee Tech. That was also a career high for the outside hit-ter from Lincoln, Neb.

Hitters Allie Hueston and Chel-sea Lee will be a few of the Panthers that’ll try to neutralize that duo at the net.
