Since 1916

Illinois’ traffic fatalities went down in 2014, even though the speed limit went up.

There were 926 people killed on Illinois roadways last year, compared to 991 in 2013.

The drop happened even though the speed limit on interstates in non-urban areas increased from 65 mph to 70 mph at the start of the year.

Highway-safety proponents and even the head of the state’s Department of

Transportation opposed the higher speed limit, on grounds that it would cause more deaths.

But state Rep. Jerry Costello II, D-Smithton, who sponsored the legislation that increased the speed limit, said he doubted it would lead to more fatalities. Costello said he studied what happened when other states increased the speed limit.

“In all of those, the fatalities seemed to go down when they raised the speed limit,” Costello said. “The biggest factor, in my

mind, after analyzing the data, is disparity in speed. Disparity causes accidents. When there’s a disparity in speed, more times than not, it’s the slower car that causes accidents.”

Costello said traffic on interstates flows at about 72 mph, on average, so drivers who obey a 65 mph speed limit end up creating more disparity.

“What happens is, the people who are abiding by the law are the ones who are causing and getting into more accidents,” he said.

Literature by the lake

Jayson Holland • daily Egyptian

Bamidele Falola, a doctoral candidate in engineering science from Nigeria, takes advantage of nice weather Wednesday by reading the book “Christian Beliefs” by Wayne A. Grudem at Campus Lake.

Sarah Wolfson is back on her horse.Wolfson rode and trained

horses throughout high school, but five years ago as an SIU student, Wolfson had an accident while riding, severely hurting both of her knees. To relieve her pain, she was prescribed Vicodin. Her doctor took her off the pain medication after a few months, leaving her in withdrawal.

Wolfson then took to the streets to find a new source of Vicodin, and after a while found it to be too expensive. She dropped out of SIU and became one of 4.2 million Americans who have used heroin at least once, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse.

Heroin, an opiate synthesized from morphine, is a naturally occurring substance found in the poppy plant. As of 2011, 23 percent of users in the United States are dependent on the drug, according to the NIDA.

According to a presentation Thursday at John A. Logan College, 90 percent of heroin consumed in the U.S. is from South America and Mexico.

No matter where it starts, there is an increasing amount of the opiate ending up in

southern Illinois. Because of this, Centerstone, a behavioral treatment facility, decided to sponsor the event, according to Kathryn Sime, development and communications manager.

Centerstone, in Carterville, provides behavioral healthcare and addiction recovery programs. Wolfson receives treatment from Centerstone as

part of her treatment.Sime said she asked her

colleagues what topic the conference should discuss and was surprised so many people said heroin and opiate addiction.

U.S. Attorney Stephen R. Wigginton, the event’s keynote speaker, said most users are similar to Wolfson by starting out using prescription drugs.

Wigginton, who serves the 38 southernmost counties in Illinois, has spoken to thousands of students as part of an anti-heroin initiative he started in 2011.

He said there were 279 million prescriptions written in 2010 for opiate-based medications for 308 million citizens, according to that year’s census. From 1997 to 2007, there was a 402 percent increase in use of prescription opioids per person—from 74 milligrams to 369 milligrams.

“Nearly one [prescription] for every man, woman and child in America,” Wigginton said. “You tell me we don’t have a problem.”

Seventy percent of prescription painkiller abusers obtained the pills from friends or relatives, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

Since a cocaine shortage in 2008, Wigginton said heroin has become America’s most popular drug. Heroin was much cheaper than prescription pills, Wolfson said.

Wigginton said prescription drugs sell for about $1 per milligram, while heroin cost $100 to $150 per gram, meaning one gram of Vicodin can cost about $1,000.

“It takes a lot more pills to get the same high, so you can spend $300 a day on pills or spend $100

a day on heroin,” he said.As part of preventing the

drug from spreading, the Drug Enforcement Administration buys heroin to find how it is moving around. The DEA buys heroin 640 times annually in St. Louis, Wigginton said.

One thing the DEA has found is the purity of heroin has increased. In 2001, heroin had an average purity of 13 percent, which in 2013 increased to 43 percent, Wigginton said. The higher the purity, the higher the risk of addiction and overdose.

There were 310 heroin overdose deaths in St. Louis in 2011, compared to 65 heroin deaths in 2007.

“If you have 401 deaths from the flu, that’s a national crisis,” Wigginton said. “You would see the city shut down and the CDC come in.”

St. Clair County, just east of St. Louis, had 26 overdose deaths in 2013. Men made up 69 percent of those deaths, 77 percent of them were white and the average age was 42.

Even though a middle-aged man was the average heroin user in St. Clair County, one in five teenagers has abused prescription drugs, Wigginton said.

Chancellor search co-chairs named, committee forming

Early stages of finding a chancellor have begun.President Randy Dunn, who assumed chancellor

duties after Chancellor Paul Sarvela died Nov. 9, said Rehabilitation Institute Director Carl Flowers and psychology Chairwoman Meera Komarraju have been named co-chairs of the Chancellor Search Advisory Committee. He said about 18 people are being asked to join the committee.

“I would hope that within a few days we would be able to announce those committee members,” Dunn said in an interview Friday.

Internal and external candidates can apply for the position.

“We want to be very thoughtful about investing time and effort to help identify a good pool across the nation,” Dunn said. “That work is underway right now to try to identify some of those individuals who might be good matches to ensure that they’re aware of the position.”

The committee will choose as many as four or five finalists, whom will be invited to visit the campus once chosen, Dunn said.

Heroin is moving its way east from St. Louis, which is why Centerstone hosted the event, Wigginton said.

Wolfson said she thought she had hit her rock bottom several times before she actually did. She woke up one day in a complete stranger’s home, with people shooting up around her. As she went to grab her purse and leave, she discovered it had been stolen, and with it the last bit of

money she had.“I just looked around and couldn’t

believe this is my life,” she said. “This is not what I wanted. This is not what I had planned.”

The next day she was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and her lawyer helped her get into a rehabilitation program. Wolfson has been sober for three months, though she has had a few relapses in between.

She said horse riding is an escape and therapeutic for her. She rides two to three times a week, but the

winter has decreased that.At the time of her accident,

Wolfson was just starting her senior year at SIU, aiming for a degree in business management. One of her goals is go back to school and get her degree in counseling, so she can use her experience to help others.

For people in similar situations, she offered one starting piece of advice.

“Just don’t let one slip mess up everything you’ve worked for,” she said.

The search for a full-time provost won’t begin until a chancellor is appointed.

“I really do hope [Provost Susan Ford, who assumed the position after

announcing her retirement] is able to stay until what point we’ve gone through the chancellor search, so that the provost search can be a selection with the new chancellor involved,” Dunn said.

Esther KochPresident, Clinton County Citizens for LifeDear Editor: At Republican Conventions, the rules call

for each state to elect one man and one woman to each convention committee. Praise God Congressman Henry Hyde and Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum were elected in 1988 to serve on the platform committee, and they beefed up the Pro-Life plank. It reads, “The unborn child has fundamental, individual rights to life which cannot be infringed.” This important plank has remained unchanged. The Democratic Platform Plank on abortion, however, is Pro-choice.

As we celebrate Christmas, we thank God for Phyllis and Henry (now deceased) and other of our country’s right-to-life heroes, that they believe as we believe, that, “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us,” John 1:14. Scripture tells us that as soon as the Holy Spirit overshadowed the virginal womb, God immediately became one of the human family. In like manner, when a child is conceived in his or her mother’s womb, they become one of us. Sadly, this little human being is stripped of the integrity of being an American Citizen and is legally denied it’s right to life. Some 3,200 a day are aborted. Isn’t it time now for a human life amendment?

Thank you.

Pulse‘Foxcatcher’ wrestles way beyond weight class

Anyone expecting a feel good sports drama out of “Foxcatcher,” did not see the trailer and will be sorely disappointed. The movie is not “Remember the Titians” or even “Warrior.” It is more of a soul crushing character study, like “Raging Bull,” and “The Wrestler,” making it the best kind of sports movie.

“Foxcatcher” is an Academy Award-nominated sports drama directed by Bennett Miller starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo and Sienna Miller.

The weakest point of the movie, if any, is Miller’s directing. He brings a seat-grabbing intensity to the film by lengthening scenes to create tension. However, some scenes go on and on and it hurts the impact of the movie.

Acting is the major strength, and the best person to start with is Oscar nominee Carell. A common criticism of comedic actors is their failure of portraying serious roles. Carell is always the exception, and his role as John Du Pont in“Foxcatcher” is key evidence.

John Du Pont, the million-dollar heir to the Du Pont fortune, is an Olympic Wrestling fanatic. But he also is a despicable human being. He takes advantage of people and is the catalyst behind the major tragedy of the film.

Du Pont gives Mark Schultz, played by Tatum, $20,000 to train in Du Pont’s gym and coach his very own Olympic team, which seems like the chance of a lifetime. Mark bonds with Du Pont, looking up to him as a father figure. But, when he starts to fail his mentor, Du Pont’s true nature comes out.

Carell became the character of

Du Pont by gaining 30 pounds, going through real Olympic training and putting on hours worth of make up. Carrel not only became the character physically, but emotionally; he helps you sympathize with him.

Carrell’s performance is subtle. It would have been easy to make Du Pont eccentric or grandiose, but that is not who the man was. Du Pont is a lonely guy trying to constantly impress his mother and gain companionship through his favorite sport. Carrell makes the eventual snap feel genuine.

Tatum plays Mark Schultz, who, along with his brother David, played by Ruffalo, form one of the greatest Olympic wrestling training duos ever. While both are gold medal winners, Mark continually feels as though he is living in the shadow of his brother. It eats at him every day, causing his hatred

to grow.Tatum is an actor who has a

lot of criticism aimed at him. Many claim his he is just a pretty face to sell tickets with no acting ability, but the grievance is not entirely true. While he is known for uninspired roles in “Dear John” and “Magic Mike,” under the right circumstances, as seen in “Foxcatcher,” his talent flourishes.

Schultz may not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, but Tatum makes him a complex and damaged character. Sadness and

anger permeates through Schultz; he is vicious and brutal, but there always seems to be a reason. Living in the shadow of his brother has made him a brute, and a depressed young man.

“Foxcatcher” is the perfect example of a worthy Oscar nominee. All around, it is a solid film. The acting is great, writing is terrific and even the directing is generally sound. The film will be put into the pantheon of sports dramas and remembered for some time to come.

‘Backstrom’ marks Rainn Wilson’s TV return“Backstrom,” which premiered

Thursday on Fox, is Rainn Wilson’s way back to television, some 16 months after the end of “The Office.” It is good to see him, and all in all, good to see him here.

In some ways, Wilson hasn’t fallen far from the tree where last he sat. Fans, relax: He’s not playing some suburban dad or warmhearted high school teacher though he could.

Like Dwight Schrute did, the eponymous Portland, Ore., police detective Wilson plays in “Backstrom” views the world as if from a bunker he carries around with him. Both are intense, irascible, angry, antisocial (yet somehow needy) characters who see the world with reflexive suspicion.

“There’s a very bad man out there who killed this boy and is trying to

make me look like a fool,” Backstrom says at one point in the pilot. “We are going to get revenge, and that is called justice.” Barring the criminal details, it’s something Dwight might have said.

But where Dwight was concrete-stiff and full of plans and energy, Backstrom is a slovenly, flabby lump softened by alcohol and illness, who will sleep (that is, be unconscious) until a call wakes him at noon. And where Dwight was ruled by rules, Backstrom has no trouble forging a warrant or planting evidence.

And he has a fence, Gregory (Thomas Dekker, delightful), for a roommate. Their place is full of loot on its way to some other place. (“I deal in collectibles,” is all Gregory will say about it.)

The character, borrowed from a series of books by Swedish writer Leif G.W. Persson, is a mix of things

we’ve seen before: the self-destructive detective, the unkempt detective, the unhealthy ill detective, the weirdo detective, the alcoholic detective, the uncannily intuitive detective who imagines himself into the scene of a crime, the shoes of the perp.

Wilson is a big enough presence, in body and spirit, to hold them all.

As with the pill-popping Dr. House, a fellow Fox television character Backstrom favors a bit, we are meant to be something less than actually concerned by his behavior. When he chugs two boilermakers in rapid succession, it is played mostly for laughs nervous laughs, but laughs.

Because he is his own worst enemy, and the sole victim of his behavior, we can side with the good Backstrom against the bad. (He is not entirely without warmth.) And we trust that he will survive, because, whatever

happens on screen, the series bears his name and is just beginning.

Although people will be murdered and whatever, what matters here most of all and is the case with most TV procedurals (“Backstrom” creator Hart Hanson’s “Bones” among them) is the family the regular characters make. And this has been handled well, in conception and casting.

These include a detective who runs a church on the side (Dennis Haysbert), a uniformed officer with a background in mixed martial arts (Page Kennedy), and a “wacky civilian French chick” (Beatrice Rosen) who handles tech and analysis. Kristoffer Polaha plays a dandified, Buddha-quoting “forensic liaison” who believes that “Backstrom lives intensely in the moment, on a higher plane of existence from which he’s able to hear the universe speak.” His main foil is a freshly minted

youngster (Genevieve Angelson) who can’t help calling attention to the differences in their attitude and age.

“You see the worst in yourself, and you apply it to everybody else,” she says.

“I don’t see the worst in everyone,” he responds. “I see the everyone in everyone.”

The mechanics of the cases (again, par for the genre) might squeak or grind here or there, but “Backstrom” really stumbles only when it strains too hard for seriousness and it is not a fatal fall, in any case.

It’s a comedy at heart; tonally, it falls somewhere between “Brooklyn Nine Nine” and “Justified,” though in purely meteorological terms, it is completely of a piece with “The Killing,” with which it shares Canadian locations (and a Scandinavian source). There is rain, and when there is not rain, it looks like rain.

Freshman vaults over competitionIt took only one collegiate event for

freshman pole vaulter Lindsey Murray to set SIU’s indoor school record. On Saturday, Murray broke it again.

Murray’s jump of 4.10 meters at the Vanderbilt Invite on Saturday with surpassed her height of 4.02 meters on Dec. 6, 2014—which topped the previous record set by Miracle Thompson in 2010.

At the Kentucky Invite on Jan. 17, Murray was unable to top her school record, but still won the event with a height 4.00 meters.

“I always have high expectations for myself, so I wanted to come out with a big start,” Murray said. “I kind of expected it.”

When Murray first broke SIU’s record, she was still close to two inches off of her personal best of 4.06 meters, which set the all-time Illinois girls record and won her the Illinois state title her senior year.

Murray said the transition from high school to college has been a lot to handle,

but she has already seen improvements in her jumping.

“It’s a whole new ballgame,” she said. “But with the training and practicing over the winter, plus the coaching, everything has improved since getting here.”

Murray has made the transition seamlessly and said her teammates are to thank for that.

“I couldn’t do it without them,” she said. “When it comes to workouts and seeing the little things I need to improve on they’ve really helped me out.”

The all-time NCAA record in women’s pole vault has been broken three times in the last two weeks. Murray, who is currently ranked No. 12 in the nation, said she hopes to be in the competition at the National Championships.

“I’m taking [my goals] by steps,” she said. “The first was to achieve the school record and by the end of the year I want be All-American and make it to the National Championships as a freshman.”

Murray and the SIU Track and Field team will compete Friday in Bloomington, Ind.

Former rival struggling in biggest sportCreighton has officially been out of the

Missouri Valley Conference for one year and seven months, but has not been as dominant as it once was.

The Blue Jays made the Big East championship games in men’s basketball and baseball last season.

Creighton’s baseball team went 14-4 in the Big East and had the top-seed in the tournament before falling to Xavier in the championship game.

This season the men’s basketball team lost its first eight conference games.

The basketball program lost 2014 Player of the Year and three-time first-team All-American Doug McDermott to eligibility.

McDermott was drafted 11th overall by the Denver Nuggets and was traded to the Chicago Bulls.

He is averaging only 3.1 points and 1.6 rebounds

per game in 18 games with the Bulls this season.McDermott led the nation in points scored

his junior year, which was his last in the MVC.However, basketball struggles this season

do not warrant any chance for the Blue Jays returning to the Valley. Creighton media services declined the request to interview basketball coach Greg McDermott. The email from media services said Creighton has not had any second thoughts and would not comment on the MVC.

“Creighton is not coming back,” Saluki men’s basketball coach Barry Hinson said.

Hinson said Creighton made the best decision for the entire athletic department, and he knows basketball was the majority of the reason behind the school switching.

The Blue Jays have the most MVC championships in men’s basketball.

Hinson said he is happy with the contribution Loyola has made as a replacement team for Creighton. He said he would like the Saint Louis University Billikens to join the Valley as well.

“I’ve never held my tongue when it comes to the Valley and I never will,” Hinson said. “I think we need another team.”

Hinson said if Saint Louis joined the MVC, it would be the best mid-major conference in the country because it would be a good program added to a conference that is good already.

Saluki baseball coach Ken Henderson said he likes adding as many good athletic departments as possible because it makes the league better. He said he originally thought the conference would have nine teams when Dallas Baptist decided to join.

Henderson said he has not given Creighton’s departure a lot of thought because the Patriots are a competitive team that makes up for the loss. Loyola does not have a baseball program.

Dallas Baptist won the conference title in baseball last season. Henderson said the league would be different if it had not been added.

“[The league] would survive, but it would be a challenge,” Henderson said. “We would have to adjust some things. It would make scheduling

very difficult.”Henderson said he enjoyed playing Creighton

and misses playing the Blue Jays.“Every kid in America wants to play in TD

Ameritrade Park,” Henderson said.TD Ameritrade Park hosts the College World

Series every year. Former Saluki pitcher Sam Coonrod said it was an awesome experience pitching there because it is known as a “pitcher’s park” and the ball does not carry well off the bat.

Coonrod said he loved the rivalry, because Creighton would battle no matter what its record was. Coonrod was a freshman on the 2012 squad that lost in the MVC Championship game to the Blue Jays.

“At the time I didn’t realize how big of a deal that was,” Coonrod said. “We were so close and it just didn’t happen.”

Henderson and Hinson said they would like to play Creighton again someday because of the rivalry. Hinson said he would play them again tomorrow if it were possible, but because Creighton can buy bigger games, a game may
