DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORTWillie Craft, of Urbana, pleaded guilty

Wednesday to one count of reckless homicide in the Oct. 9, 2013, death of University stu-dent Mimi Liu, according to a press release from Champaign County State’s Attorney Julia Rietz. Liu died from blunt force inju-ries sustained after being struck by Craft’s vehicle.

In exchange for his plea, one count of aggravated driving under the influence was dismissed and the State’s Attorney’s Office agreed to cap its sentencing recommenda-tion to three and a half years.

Craft is eligible for probation as well. On Oct. 9, Craft was seen driving a pick-

up truck erratically on Lincoln Avenue in Urbana. During the course of the event, he struck a street sign and drove up on the sidewalk near the McKinley Health Cen-ter, striking Liu and Spandana Mantravadi, who survived.

After an investigation, it was revealed that Craft is a diabetic who was treated at the scene for low blood sugar levels.

He did not have insurance on the vehicle and reported that he had not driven in three years due to his diabetes and did not eat breakfast that morning.

Champaign County Judge Richard Klaus set the sentencing hearing for July 9.

There are a variety of reasons students decide to stay in Champaign after classes have ended for the summer. Between internships, jobs, classes and nights out, dressing for the occasion is important. Luckily, there are many current trends that are appropriate for work, study or play.

Seeing a girl in a sundress on a hot June day is nothing new, but that doesn’t mean the summer staple has to be average. Jessica Cain, store manager at Ragstock, said one of their biggest sellers so far has been “high-low” dresses. The trend takes a spin on the classic and ranges from dramatic to subtle, while coming in just about every color and print that you could ever imagine. Depending on the material, this style can be worn to an internship, work or for a night out.

Meghan Fabian, junior in LAS, is interning for State Farm for the summer.

“We’re supposed to look professional, so I’ve been getting creative on what to wear,” she said. “I’ve been wearing a lot of maxi skirts because they’re so comfortable but they’re nice enough for the setting I work in.”

Cain also said maxi skirts have been a popular buy. The skirts can be worn with nearly anything and are appropriate attire for whatever occasion needed.

Many of the biggest trends that have been flooding the glossy pages of fashion magazines are also showing up in stores on campus. Trends such as mesh, sheer or iridescent materials as well as fringe, crop tops and rompers can be found right on Green Street, at stores such as Urban Outfitters, Ragstock or Apricot Lane.

Libby Smith, senior in Media, is an employee at Urban Outfitters on campus. Smith explained that festival wear is still big, but it’s become lighter, which makes it easy to transition from events to everyday wear.

Smith noted that trends from last season like high-waisted pants and pieces with tributes to the ‘90s are still strong, but they’ve gone more towards a whimsical, feminine quality.

She added that, along with maxi skirts and high-low hems, rompers are not only very popular, but are also her favorite trend.

“They’re so comfortable and it’s easy to dress them up or down,” Smith said.

Along with rompers, Smith also said an important summer staple is the denim jacket.

“They’re easy to add to everything. Take a romper, for example, and add a denim jacket and heels. You’re now ready for a date.”

Champaign-Urbana community mem-bers attended the Alma Mater’s Rededica-tion Ceremony on Friday morning at Alma Mater Plaza in Urbana. The ceremony was held in honor of Alma’s 85th birthday on June 11 and served as a way to formally rededicate the restored sculpture to the University and community.

Chancellor Phyllis Wise emphasized the iconic importance of the Alma Mater to University students and alumni when she spoke at the ceremony.

“Labor, Learning and Alma welcome peo-ple on the very first day that they get here, and they also send off our students as they leave,” she said.

Wise also thanked those who helped in the restoration efforts and who financially supported the endeavor.

“The work that was done was extensive and exacting, and none would be possible without the donors who made it possible for us to do the job the right way,” Wise said. “Alma’s restoration, appropriately, was paid for by her family and not by state funds or tuition.”

Jean Bandler, granddaughter of Lorado Taft, the sculptor who created the Alma Mater, also spoke at the event.

Bandler described the gratitude and con-

nection her grandfather felt towards the University and how his sculpture paid trib-ute to that adoration.

“This embracing Alma Mater flanked by Labor and Learning is what the University of Illinois gave to Lorado Taft, and that is what it still provides for its alumni and for its students,” she said.

Andrzej Dajnowski served as lead con-servator of the Alma Mater conservation project. Wise said his studio was chosen “because of its cutting-edge use of lasers to conserve sculpture.”

“In my opinion, this was the first ever approach of this kind on any monument anywhere in the world, so this is a really seriously groundbreaking step,” Dajnows-ki said.

Upon first looking at the sculpture, he said it appeared that there were no major problems, just some corrosion on the exte-rior surface that needed to be taken care of.

“But then when we looked at the bronze it became very apparent that what was simple became extremely complicated,” Dajnowski said. “And that’s why it took so long.”

The conservation effort took 18 months to be completed. The Alma Mater made its return to the University from its conserva-tion studio in Forest Park, Ill., on April 9.

Christa Deacy-Quinn is collections man-ager at the Spurlock Museum, a founding

member of the University’s Preservation Working Group and has served on the Alma Mater conservation committee.

The Preservation Working Group began the process of Alma’s conservation.

“The group has been key in preserving various campus artwork, in addition to edu-cating the public on preservation issues,” Deacy-Quinn said. “In 2009, the Preserva-tion Working Group identified the Alma Mater as being the campus work most in need of preservation.”

She said working on the preservation of a beloved campus icon was an honor, and

she hopes that preservation efforts will continue over the years in order to keep the Alma Mater in prime condition for the coming generations.

“Today, as a result of all the learning and labor during the conservation effort, Alma stands here, having undergone state-of-the-art laser treatment, with all new bolts and a protective wax finish, ensuring her durability and structural soundness for years to come.”

Anyone shopping for colorful bundles of yarn, toothpick umbrellas or film canisters should make the I.D.E.A. Store in Cham-paign their first stop. The shop specializes in selling inexpensive, reusable and useful items to the community, with all proceeds going towards funding Champaign-Urbana schools.

General Manager and co-founder of the I.D.E.A. Store Gail Rost said the idea for the store struck the founders about five and a half years ago while looking for an oppor-tunity to raise additional funds for Cham-paign-Urbana schools.

A friend of hers saw creative reuse stores in other parts of the country and was inter-ested in establishing something similar locally.

The two of them came together and formed a business plan, and the I.D.E.A. Store began.

“It’s evolved tremendously since then, but it is based on a model for creative reuse

centers,” Rost said. “There are some in the country, and they’re growing.”

Rost said along with raising funds for public schools in Champaign-Urbana, oth-er goals include providing a place for people to bring and buy quality items and to “inter-rupt the waste stream” by providing a place for people to donate items that would have ended up in the trash.

“The other strong piece of the goal is education — we really want to teach peo-ple about creative reuse and about reuse as an alternative to recycling,” Rost said. “Because most of the things we sell, you can recycle it after you’ve used it again. So it just sort of slows the whole waste stream down.”

The store tries to only put out high-quality items, so that even if they are used, they are in good or almost-new condition.

Community members are the largest donors, who also make up the majority of the store’s customers.

Rost said they have diverse donors who bring in a wide range of assorted items.

“It’s a broad community — we have elder-ly, we have baby boomers who are downsiz-ing, we have students that are leaving the community, we have faculty and staff who are moving, we have estate sales, individu-als, so it’s a variety,” she said. “And we do have business donors as well.”

Some of the things the store gets from estate sales have never been used before, especially craft items, Rost said. And small businesses donate items that have been over-stocked, such as office supplies. There is a mix of new and used items throughout the store.

Community members are not the only cus-tomers. Rost said the I.D.E.A. Store serves about 60 not-for-profit organizations, includ-ing Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, preschools, teachers, park districts and bible schools, to name a few.

“What we’re discovering of course is that our stuff is reasonably priced, and so a lot of organizations come here to buy for big things,” she said.

Selling to a wide array of customers is something the I.D.E.A. Store aims to do.

“It’s essential to our business plan to have a broad reach,” Rost said. “We cannot try to sell to just one type of buyer. So one of our merchandising goals is to have a broad variety of things out on the floor so that it appeals to many types of different people.”

Noe Navar is an incoming senior at the University of Illinois who has frequented the I.D.E.A. Store since his freshman year. He checks out the store about once a month.

Navar said he shops for items for projects, gifts or if he wants something for his room.

“There are a lot of unique things here,” he said. “You could furnish your room with things from here.”

Justin Klett has been to the store twice, and said he shops for ideas.

“That’s what the I.D.E.A. Store is best for, is coming here and getting ideas,” he said.

Since 1851, the U.S. has been hit by about 980 hurricanes — some taking on male names, and some taking on female names; however, according to recently published research from the University, hurricanes with more feminine names may be more deadly than those with masculine-sounding names.

The lead author, graduate student Kiju Jung, and his coauthors suggest that this may be the case because Americans don’t take feminine-sounding hurricanes as seriously as masculine ones.

“There appears to be some implicit gendered expectation based on the name of a hurricane — certain qualities associated with women to hurricanes with more feminine names ... such as being warm and so on,” said co-author Madhu Viswanathan, Business professor. “Similarly, qualities like aggression and strength may be associated with hurricanes with more masculine names.”

The study looked at every hurricane that’s made landfall from 1950 to 2012, excluding hurricanes Katrina and Audrey because they were deadlier than the average storm.

“Names are assigned arbitrarily, based on a predetermined list of alternating male and female names,” Jung said in a press release, referring to a hurricane naming list that’s been in place since 1978. “If

people in the path of a severe storm are judging the risk based on the storm’s name, then this is potentially very dangerous.”

According to one of the models the team cites, changing the name of a hurricane, say Charley, to Eloise could nearly triple its death toll.

In addition to the archival component of the study, researchers presented participants in experiments with the scenario of an approaching hurricane and asked them to rate the hurricanes, given either male or female names, on a number of dimensions — like intensity and riskiness.

“What we found is that people rated female named hurricanes as being less intense and less risky when compared to male named hurricanes,” Viswanathan said. “People also expressed lesser intention to evacuate, even in the face of an evacuation order.”

The whole reason for assigning names to hurricanes was partly to enhance recall, but in the study, the researchers say this has unintended consequences.

“The findings suggest that natural disasters, when given gendered names, can elicit gender-congruent expectancies that (de)motivate preparedness,” they wrote.

As climate change progresses, hazardous weather will become more severe and dangerous, and in light of this, Viswanathan said this is an important area in need of more research.

“We’re not making specific policy

recommendations based on one study, such decisions are best addressed by policy experts. There are complex considerations here and each possible solution may have some downside. But we think this issue should be looked into,” he said. “Most importantly, people need to consciously consider relevant information about a hurricane and remember that the assigned male or female name means nothing.”

University atmospheric sciences Professor Eric Snodgrass, read the article when it came out last week. He said it was an interesting and important read for people in his field, calling the research part of “a great movement to improve public perception” of severe weather.

“It’s unfortunate that too many people aren’t really reading the article and just reading the headline, thinking it’s a bunch

of garbage ... that it’s just a silly data bias,” he said. “With full read of the article, you can see that’s not the case. They did a lot to understand human perception of this.”

“One of the big pushes we’ve had ... is to try to make public information about severe weather, especially hurricanes and thunderstoms, much more vivid than in the past, so that when people hear things, they can understand the immediacy and understand the severity so they can take proper action,” he said. “When we hear a study like this, one of the things we think about is, ‘Gosh, here’s an area where we’ve kind of let things down,’ ... we need to do something about it because we want the responses to be immediate.”

More female students will be seen roaming the hallways of the engineering buildings on campus beginning this fall.

According to the American Society for Engineering Edu-cation, in 2003, 186 female students out of a total of 1,112 engineering students earned a bachelor’s degree in the Uni-versity’s 14 different engineering programs. In 2013, this number increased to 282 alongside an increased total of 1,604 students who earned a bachelor’s degree in the Uni-versity’s 17 engineering programs.

According to the University’s College of Engineering Twitter page, the increase of female students in Univer-sity engineering programs will continue to grow in 2014.

“Excited for largest incoming group #WomenInEngi-neering! Increase of 27% in 2 years. #WeAreIllini #Illinois #GirlPower,” read the tweet posted on May 29.

According to Bill Bell, executive director for Marketing and Communications for the College of Engineering, as of May 5, 359 women have accepted their offer of admission for Engineering. Bell compared this to the 254 women that entered the College of Engineering in Fall 2013.

Bell also said that for the 2014 school year, he is expect-ing bioengineering and industrial engineering to be the two programs with the highest percentage of women.

“That’s a terrific jump,” Bell said. “We’re pleased to see it and have every intention of improving that number fur-ther in coming years.”

Bell said there are more than 1,350 women undergrad-uate engineers in total at the University, which is in the nation’s top 10.

“Clearly there’s more work to be done in encouraging women to study in STEM fields and build STEM careers, across the nation and around the world,” Bell said. “But we’re working hard on this issue and seeing great progress.”

Paul Kenis, professor and head of chemical and biomo-lecular engineering, said the percentage of women enter-

ing the chemical and biomolecular engineering program in the last 10 years has always been between 30 to 35 percent.

Kenis also said that it is important for women to keep join-ing the engineering programs at the University.

“Women do well in engineering, certainly in the chemi-cal engineering discipline,” Kenis said. “We should strive to a close 50-50 gender ratio. Many of the companies that recruit our graduates are striving to increase the diversity of their workforce through recruitment of women or repre-sentatives of other minorities. Female chemical engineers are in an even higher demand than their male counterparts.”

Kenis said he believes that the increase in women enter-ing the engineering programs at the University will con-tinue to grow.

“I don’t think we will ever get to the 50-50 ratio, but 40 percent female enrollment is certainly within reach within the next five to 10 years,” Kenis said.

Susan Larson, assistant dean and director of the Women in Engineering program, helps to recruit female students to Engineering and retain them in their engineering stud-ies at the University along with Assistant Director of the Women in Engineering program Angie Wolters.

Larson said she believes that the 27 percent increase of women entering the engineering programs at the Univer-sity is due to high school preparation.

“More and more women are graduating from high school with the math and science preparation that makes them ready for engineering,” Larson said. “They are also learn-ing about what engineering is and about engineering’s team-work, creativity and service to society. They can see that engineering is a good field to join.”

Larson also said she hopes to see a continuation in the increase of women engineers at the University.

“I would like to see more women applying to Engineer-ing at Illinois,” Larson said. “I hope that the general public continues to grow in awareness and appreciation of what engineers contribute. And I hope that high school students,

both women and men, can see themselves as engineers, who can use their creativity and their skills in teamwork and leadership to solve technical problems in service to society.”

After the news of a 27 percent increase of women com-mitting to engineering at the University over the past two years, several hope to see steady growth in female engi-neers in the future.

“The stigma that an engineer has to be male by definition is fading,” Kenis said. “Science and engineering is not just something only boys are supposed to like.”

EDITORIAL

Being 21 years old has its perks. It means that I am finally beyond the years of awkward body proportions, acquiring unnecessary stress over

high school dances, and needing to ask my instructor’s permission to go to the bathroom (which I always found ridiculous — when you gotta go, you gotta go). Oh, and then there’s the whole “getting into bars” thing, but that’s overrated in comparison.

But there is something about the tender ages of youth that I miss.

While babysitting my four- and two-year-old neighbors the other day, I was bombarded with the overwhelming energy of the four-year-old as she threw down her bubble wand and screamed, “Nicki! Nicki! Come here, fast! An ant!!!”

She crouched down on the sun-beaten driveway and watched with fascination as a tiny ant scuttled past her feet — of course, that fascination quickly turned into cold-blooded murder when she decided to stomp on it. This scene happened nearly every ten minutes or so where she’d call me over to look at another ant with her, and her eyes beamed each time she spotted one, as if she was seeing the small creature for the first time.

It reminded me how much I miss the times when we were once captivated by life’s simplicities, and how I

think we need to take more time to soak up and enjoy them — like the ease of a car ride, the thrill of laughter, or the unique spectacle of something small, like an ant.

This has become clearer to me as I’ve gotten older. This summer, in particular, I have friends that are spread out around the country doing really amazing things in really amazing places — mostly internships that will potentially lead them to future careers (where I hope to ride the coattails to their successes — everyone needs a coffee runner, right?).

They are meeting new people, acquiring new skills, creating new memories and experiences — meanwhile, little old me is back at home, soaking up the beauty and mystique that is the suburbs of Illinois.

And, at this age, the focus of myself and many of my friends abroad is on well-paying jobs and academic success, all while somehow hoping to maintain an adequate social life (but, to be honest, I often put my social life on the back burner so I can more closely connect with Netflix). Being a valiant pursuer of these goals, I have to say, achieving all three is no cake walk, and it certainly doesn’t leave much room for noticing a tiny ant scurrying past my feet.

However, despite the unique experiences many of my friends and peers are having wherever they may be this summer, I think it is important to realize that these summer months we famously identify as a wedge of freedom are a time for us to take a breath of fresh air and rekindle some of that excitement and appreciation for life’s little offerings.

And I mean “breath of fresh air” both literally and figuratively — because I’m about 92 percent sure that

it’s done snowing here for the next few months, but, hey, I never carry too many expectations about Illinois weather.

What’s funny is that at one point in life everything was new and fascinating to us. Don’t forget, there was a time when a Happy Meal toy took up at least seven hours of entertainment time and getting rubber burns on Slip ‘N Slides was fun, so let that be a humbling reminder of simpler times. Granted, that’s all relative because I still ask for Happy Meal toys and I would still gladly partake in Slip ‘N Slide shenanigans if given the opportunity.

So during everyone’s exciting adventures of bigger and better things this summer, and the continuing onslaught of reality in this early stage of adulthood, remember to let the seemingly mundane aspects of your surroundings instill some sort of 4 year old light back into you as you re-discover the delight of the people and places around you.

Although I would never like to repeat any of my years prior to 21, and I enjoy the new, complicated changes life is throwing at me, I try to embrace the opportunities to stare curiously out a window or engage in conversations with old friends about trivial things.

And, like my neighbor, despite any amazement behind the strength and speed of an ant, I will step on them every time (because butterflies are so much more interesting and ants are gross anyway).

In economics, there is a term called “structural unemployement.” It means unemployment that’s been

caused by structural changes in the economy — like changes in technology, competition from abroad, or changes in regulations and policy.

But over the next few years, this textbook terminology is going to have a real effect on a large group of people in central and southern Illinois — coal miners.

Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency released its proposed rules for existing coal-fired power plants: they must decrease their emissions 30 percent by 2030. The intention behind the rules is to slow climate change, spur innovation in the green sector and create jobs.

While these goals are admirable and seem to have great intention behind them, we believe that the immediate effects of these rules would have many negative effects on

Illinois workers. Going forward, Illinois lawmakers have to be mindful of these effects and provide for equal energy employment opportunities for the soon-to-be unemployed.

After the agency finalizes its proposal in about a year, states will have a year to design their own implementation plans.

But with rules like this, structural unemployment is unavoidable — especially in Illinois, where one of the largest coal basins in the country supplied eight percent of U.S. coal production in 2008, according to F. Freme’s Coal Review.

Leonard Hopkins, fuel and compliance manager for the Southern Illinois Power Cooperative, said in a story for the Benton Evening News that industry analysts project between 224,000 and 250,000 jobs could be lost nationwide due to these regulations.

While saving the environment is exceptionally necessary, the human consequences of these changes can’t be

ignored. This new policy, if passed as-is, will throw away the livelihoods of at least 224,000. Not all of them can go into work as a mechanic for a solar farm or an operator for a fracking site right after losing their job — unless steps are taken to minimize the harm.

“We’re doing everything we can to keep the coal mines open and every time we turn around the federal government’s trying to shut them down,” said State Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion, in the same article.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, but even so, when Illinois goes forward with its implementation plan, it has to be mindful of the lost jobs and economic impact the rules will have in Southern Illinois.

Whatever implementation plan the state comes up with, it needs an emphasis on Southern Illinois so that when green technologies come into the state, they can absorb some of the job loss in that part of the state.

Whether it is for the adventure, to meet people or to fight back against the disease, the members of Illini 4000 continue the bike ride to “fight cancer on two wheels,” according to the Illini 4000 website.

The riders for the non-profit organization began the 72-day trek on May 24 in New York City, and will end on August 3 in San Fran-cisco to raise money and awareness for cancer research. The organiza-tion consists of 20 riders and nine members of the board of directors, two of which are on this summer’s trip.

Tory Cross, president of Illini 4000 and senior in neuroscience, said the trip has been going well for the riders so far.

“It’s going great,” Cross said. “Everyone’s doing well. There have been no major injuries so far and everyone’s happy.”

So far the team has biked through New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-nia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and stopped in Champaign on June 8. The team will continue to ride through Illinois until June 15, and then begin the ride through Iowa.

Isalia Ramirez, current rider for the Illini 4000 team and senior in ACES, said she agreed with Cross.

“Physically, it feels like you just pedal and just keep moving,” Ramirez said. “But emotionally the more I keeping going, the more I realize how important it is.”

Ramirez also said the stop in Champaign felt surreal.

“It feels like a tease being in Champaign,” Ramirez said. “It feels like we haven’t even started the trip yet. We’re only one-fifth of the way done.”

Cross said the team will, on aver-age, bike anywhere between 40 to 70 miles a day, and broke 104 miles riding through Indiana on June 5. Riders stop every 20 miles to grab some food and water.

“We jump right into it,” Cross said.

Cross also said that riders stay at churches, schools and camp-grounds at the end of the day to sleep before continuing on the trip the next morning.

“We stay anywhere that will let

us sleep on their floor for free,” Cross said.

Not only do Illini 4000 members ride across America, but they also participate in the Portraits Proj-ect. According to the organization’s website, the Portraits Project is a “collection of narratives that dem-onstrate how Americans respond to cancer based on their unique life experiences and individual beliefs. The Illini 4000 believes that every-one has a story to tell.”

“Through the Portraits Project we can help connect people that have any type of cancer, but have some connection to each other with the stories they tell about the fight,” Cross said. “Meeting peo-ple through the Portraits Project was life changing in a lot of ways. I learned things like always appreci-ate your loved ones and show them, because you never know what will happen.”

Before the adventure started for the Illini 4000 team, fundraising to reach the organization’s $150,000 goal began. According to the Illini 4000 website, the team has raised over $87,000, with each member required to raise $3,500.

“People go beyond that, and that’s amazing,” said Ben Wool-ey, director of information for the organization and senior in Engi-neering. “Most years we get around $100,000 in fundraising.”

Illini 4000 raises money for organizations such as Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foun-dation, American Cancer Society, Camp Kesem, Livestrong, Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, Camp TLC and they’ve also raised funds for Dr. Brenden Harley’s research through the University of Illinois.

Wooley also said that Illini 4000 has raised around $720,000 since they started in 2007 for cancer research and support services.

Both Cross and Wooley have endured the bike trip across Amer-ica before, Cross completing it in 2012 and Wooley completing it in 2013.

“It was incredible. Best experi-ence I ever had,” Cross said. “It’s interesting to spend so many hours moving and so many hours in your own head.”

Cross said although the trip is

physically challenging, it is a lot more mental.

“You have to mentally say to yourself, ‘I hurt everywhere and every inch of my body is in pain, but I have to keep moving. I am doing this for something bigger than I am,’” Cross said. “It can be hard. But once you do it, it’s just the best feeling in the world.”

Wooley also said his experience on the trip was great, and learned a lot from the people he talked to.

“There are a lot of great people in the United States, and some-times people focus too much on the bad things that are on the news,”

Wooley said. “But when you actu-ally stop and talk to people, they do amazing things out of the kindness of their hearts.”

Wooley agreed with Cross and said the difficult part of the trip was staying in the right mind set.

“You have to keep your head in the game and remember why you’re doing it,” Wooley said. “There are a lot of days where there is a whole lot of nothing, like large fields or going through the desert in Nevada. The thing that keeps you going is keep-ing in mind why you are doing this. We are making an impact.”

Although the bike rides can be

physically and mentally exhaust-ing, Cross said there are many rea-sons as to why students continue to participate in Illini 4000.

“You don’t have to already be a cyclist or an athlete,” Cross said. “A lot of people join for the adventure of being on your bike all day from flat Illinois to deserts and moun-tains out west. Some also just love to meet and talk to new people. Everyone has a story of how can-cer has affected them. It’s their way of fighting back.”

Let’s Get Down to BUSINESS

BY PAUL SULLIVANCHICAGO TRIBUNE

It may look like just another plant, but the power of the Wrigley Field ivy never was more apparent than it was recently.

The potential loss of some ivy and bricks to expand the outfield doors for relocated bullpens led to some major blowback from the mayor’s office, forcing the Chicago Cubs to scrap part of their revised proposal to renovate the 100-year-old ballpark.

But even that wasn’t enough for the Commission on Chicago Landmarks to pass the plan at their June meeting, so the Cubs likely will have to wait another month for a shot, delaying the start of construction on a 30,000-square-foot clubhouse and other components of the renovation.

It may seem ridiculous to some, but for love of ivy, a massive $375 million project once again has been put on hold.

The controversy began two weeks ago when the Cubs announced a revised renovation plan that proposed to double the width of two large doors in left and right fields — known as the Under Armour doors because of the ads on them — from 12 to 24 feet.

Both areas currently are being used as batting cages, and the idea was to give the relievers a view of the field during games. The Cubs already had gained city approval for the widening of three smaller doors from 5 to 10 feet.

Last winter the Cubs began a long-term project of replacing the original

bricks, which they said have deteriorated, beginning with a section of left field.

Though the removal of some ivy and bricks was not stated specifically in the new plan, the Cubs couldn’t expand the doors without taking both out, which landmark provisions protect. Once the media highlighted the significant removal of ivy and bricks, Mayor Rahm Emanuel told the Cubs a new plan would need to be reviewed, prompting their decision to eliminate enlarging any of the doors.

So how did vines become so powerful?And would the loss of a few really affect

anyone’s enjoyment of a day at Wrigley Field?

The ivy’s hold over lifelong Cubs fans is a riddle wrapped in a mystery around a copper wire. It has been creeping up the outfield walls every spring since Bill Veeck supervised the planting near the end of the 1937 season, after he suggested the idea to owner Philip Wrigley, referring to old Perry Field in Indianapolis as his inspiration.

In a Chicago Tribune interview 30 years ago, Veeck recalled being down on his hands and knees, stringing Boston and Baltic ivy along copper wires.

“The ivy was part of the whole basic philosophy started by the Wrigleys,” he said. “Before the road trip I told Mr. Wrigley, ‘The next time you come home, you’ll have vines.’ It was the only time they’ve used lights at Wrigley Field.”

The ivy is so synonymous with the Cubs that a couple of Pennsylvania buddies were

arrested in September for sneaking into the park at night to steal a few precious leaves. They got off with probation and were forbidden to enter the ballpark for one year.

“If the Cubs aren’t any better, that may not be a bad thing,” their attorney, Kevin Halverson, joked after their hearing.

The Cubs aren’t any better. But more than 2.5 million fans are expected this year to watch games at Wrigley, with the ivy-covered walls one of its allures.

“It’s just the tradition here,” Cubs outfielder Nate Schierholtz said of the ivy. “It’s a 100-year-old ballpark and kind of a neat thing.

“Once the ivy blooms, it gives the park a lot of character. It’s just different than anywhere else.”

As old ballparks were demolished and replaced, Wrigley became one of the last links to a seemingly more innocent era, and the ivy became a symbol of its timelessness. During a trip to Wrigley in 1999, Cardinals player Joe McEwing, now a White Sox coach, said he loved going out early to Wrigley because “it’s like the ivy is talking to you.”

The ivy even was credited with an assist in a Cubs victory over the White Sox in 1998 when it swallowed Magglio Ordonez’s shot to the wall, giving him a ground-rule double and sending a Sox runner back to third. Cubs pitcher Terry Mulholland theorized a squirrel he called “the reincarnation of Harry Caray” hid in the ivy and held onto the ball.

The Cubs had an outfielder in the early 1940s named Lou “The Mad Russian” Novikoff, who was afraid of the ivy because of his fear of spiders. Head groundskeeper Roger Baird said the ivy is sprayed for insects but added: “Everyone is afraid of spiders, but spiders are good. They eat other bugs.”

Schierholtz, who plays right field, said he never has seen any spiders in the ivy.

“I’ve seen a few rats in the batting cage,” he said. “But not behind the ivy. In the ivy, all I’ve seen are balls dropping out from b.p.”

Former Cubs outfielder Reed Johnson, now with the Marlins, agreed there’s nothing to fear when reaching for a ball.

“I haven’t pulled Andre Dawson out of there or anything,” he said, referring to a commercial in which Kerry Wood pulls Dawson out of the ivy.

The ivy came in late this year because of the bitterly cold winter, after arriving before opening day in 2012, the earliest in recent memory. It usually looks its best in late October when turning colors, though the only time the Cubs have been playing at its peak was during the 2003 National League Championship Series.

Baird said some of the original ivy Veeck planted remains, with vines 2 or 3 inches thick. It’s part of history, which is why its importance is magnified.

“The ivy has been here forever,” Baird said. “And hopefully it will be here for quite a while.”

The Blackhawks were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs last week, signaling a depressing time of year

for many Chicago sports fans.Especially for Cubs fans like myself.With Bears training camp still over

a month away, my undivided sports attention is forced to turn to the baseball team on the North Side. Fellow Cubs fans, I know you feel my pain. Our beloved Wrigley Field tenants are in last place yet again, and, as I write this, are on pace for a 97-loss season. The Cubs haven’t been good since 2008 and have been absolutely terrible since 2011.

But despite all the doom and gloom, the stalled ballpark renovations and the front office’s repeated attempts to distract fans with mascots, promotions and anniversary celebrations, I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Better days are ahead for the Chicago Cubs, and I think they’re right around the corner.

I know, we’ve been serenaded with promises of “wait ‘til next year” for what seems like forever. But there are reasons to be optimistic.

First of all, the Cubs pitching this year has been better than expected, and that includes both the starting rotation and the bullpen. Though starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel will likely be traded, they’ve both had outstanding seasons on the mound and will net a nice return if they are indeed dealt. Through last Thursday, Samardzija and Hammel had ERAs of 2.54 and 2.78, respectively. Personally, I’d like to see them signed to contract extensions.

After a slow start to the season, the bullpen has come around and looks to be shaping up nicely for years to come. The Cubs dumped their dead-weight former closer Jose Veras on June 3, and it looks like President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein has assembled a solid core of young relievers for the future. Right-handers Neil Ramirez, Pedro Strop and Justin Grimm have shown promise, while Hector Rondon has locked up the closer role with seven saves in eight tries and a 1.46 ERA. The Cubs’ bullpen ERA of 3.13 is good for fifth-best in the National League.

Another reason the 2014 season hasn’t been a total waste is the redemption (so far) of Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro. The two faces of the franchise

struggled in 2013 but have bounced back into decent form offensively under first-year manager Rick Renteria. It’s an encouraging sign that Rizzo and Castro are producing solid numbers with little protection in the lineup, especially since they both figure to be important pieces for the Cubs when and if they contend. Luis Valbuena and Junior Lake have also been pleasant surprises and at minimum could be decent utility players for years to come.

But since the big league club’s signs of improvement aren’t enough to translate to a significant amount of wins, the real excitement for me lies in the Cubs’ second-ranked minor league system. Several prospects that were once a distant mirage are now close to arriving and hopefully making an impact at the major league level.

Kris Bryant, the Cubs’ fourth overall draft pick in 2013, looks to be the most major league-ready. Bryant is destroying minor league pitching, batting .346 with 19 home runs and 51 RBI through his first 59 games at Double A Tennessee. If he keeps up his torrid pace, I’d like to see Epstein promote Bryant to Triple A Iowa sometime in the next month. If all goes well, there’s no reason Bryant shouldn’t be up with the Cubs in September.

Though Bryant is the hottest Cubs prospect right now, shortstop Javier Baez is still considered their top minor league talent. After an awful start to the season at Triple A Iowa that left many fans questioning his ability, Baez went on a hitting streak that earned him PCL Player of the Week Honors for May 19-25. I have faith in Baez to continue to rebound for his slow start and am holding out hope for a September call-up for him as well.

The Cubs also have switch-hitting second baseman Arismendy Alcantara and reliever Arodys Vizcaino waiting in the wings in the minor leagues. A potential 2015 Opening Day lineup that includes Bryant, Baez, Rizzo, Castro, Alcantara, Lake, catcher Welington Castillo and a well-placed free agent or two could be very dangerous, provided the prospects live up to the hype.

So yes, 2014 looks like another lost season. But to me, this one feels different. For the first time in a long time, I can see some semblance of a real team with real talent being constructed, even if half of it is currently below the surface.

Just hold on a little longer, Cubs fans. The Dark Ages are almost over.
