Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski speaks during a news conference on Thursday regarding a CMU student who was abducted at gunpoint from the Student Activity Center and sexually assaulted Wednesday night. The suspect, Eric Lee Ramsey, a 30-year-old Mount Pleasant man, fled from the police with a stolen sanitation truck and was shot and killed by a Crawford County deputy after ramming the deputy’s vehicle early Thursday morning.

Boy recalls abducted student at his house By Aaron McMann Editor-in-Chief

James Persyn III was minding his own business, watching MTV’s “Disaster Date,” Wednesday night when a pound came at the front door. The 14-year-old Shepherd boy lives with his younger sister, Acelin, 11, 2-year-old brother Angus and father, Jim Persyn, at their home on S. Mission Road in Lincoln Township. On the other side, a girl screaming, the Central Michigan University senior from Grand Rapids who had been abducted at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Student Activity Center. She had jumped out the window of her 2003 Ford Escape, driven by a man, 30-year-old Eric Lee Ramsey, who said he wanted to kill her. “She screamed ‘help, please help,’” James remembers. “So I let her in and shut the door behind her. She asked me if my parents were home, and I said no, so she said we have to go hide.” So, James grabbed his younger brother and sister, the family dog and a hunting knife and led the victim to the family’s bathroom, where his father, Jim, had always directed him to go if anything bad happened. He gave her his phone to call 911. He followed with a call to his dad, who had just left to pick up his fiancé.

“She screamed ‘help, please help.’ So I let her in and shut the door behind her. She asked me if my parents were home, and I said no, so she said we have to go hide.” James Persyn III, Shepherd boy “I could tell by the tone of his voice that I needed to get home,” Jim said. “I got home in a very short period of time.” But before Jim could get home, Ramsey tried his best to get into the home. He banged on the door, saying he wanted the victim back and to “let me in.” “I never really got to see him or anything, but he wanted her back, and we weren’t going to let it happen,” James remembers. James said the victim told him her arm was broken from jumping out of the vehicle. She was covered in tape, likely from the earlier sexual assault, and he tried peeling it oﬀ. He said the victim told him she was at the SAC when she was kidnapped. “I was petriﬁed and very angry,” James said.

Ramsey then proceeded to spray the home with gas, stored in a pair of containers he plucked from a barn at the S. Crawford Road home in which he allegedly raped her. Upon arriving home, little to James’ knowledge, Jim found the bottom and front of his house on fire. When he finally got inside, he found the victim sitting in the bathtub and learned what had happened. “They said she had been screaming and panicking, but by the time I had got in the house, she was amazingly calm,” Jim said. “You could tell she had been crying, but I think she was shocked and maybe relieved she was safe.” James, shy and brief with many of his answers, said he’s just happy the victim is OK. Jim went one step further, expressing his gratitude that his children and the woman are still alive. “You’ve got to move on with life, but this is major,” Jim said. “We’ll be able to fix (the house), but there is siding that is destroyed. Had (James) not called me, and had I not rushed home, I don’t know how much longer it would have took for it all to go up. I could see the glow once I saw my house.”

A senior from the Grand Rapids area is safe after being abducted at gunpoint outside the Student Activity Center, sexually assaulted and her life threatened Wednesday night. The suspect, Mount Pleasant resident Eric Lee Ramsey, 30, is dead after leading police on a chase through northern Michigan that ended in Gaylord. He was shot and killed by a Crawford County deputy after ramming the deputy’s vehicle with a stolen sanitation truck. “Last night we had an incident that originated on Central Michigan University’s campus which involved a kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, arson, attempted murder, a stolen vehicle and also a weapons offense,” said Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski. The student, whose name has not been disclosed, was walking to her vehicle in the SAC parking lot at approximately 9:30 p.m. when a man approached her at gunpoint. Ramsey forced himself into her 2003 Ford Escape and made her drive to a home on South Crawford Road. There, police say, the suspect bound her with tape and sexually assaulted her. He then put her back into the car and proceeded to collect two gas cans from a barn behind the home. Police say the victim leaped from the moving vehicle and ran to a nearby residence after Ramsey told her he planned to kill her. “There’s no doubt in my mind that had the victim not jumped out of that car, she would not be alive right now,” said CMU police chief Bill Yeagley. “I think that’s why he got the gasoline. I feel comfortable saying she made the right decision jumping out of that car.” The victim ran to a nearby home on South Mission Road and banged on the door until she was let in.

Eric Lee Ramsey

“Fortunately, the individuals at the residence let her in and locked the door and she got on the phone with 9-1-1,” Mioduszewski said. ”Central Dispatch received a 9-1-1 call from a CMU student who said she had been kidnapped and ended up jumping out of a car and thinks she may have had a broken arm.” Ramsey then parked the car and began dousing the house with gasoline and lit it on fire before fleeing the scene. The home owner arrived soon after and was able to put out the flames before severe damage had been down to the property. A ABDUCTION | 2A

During chase, suspect posts on Facebook By Aaron McMann Editor-in-Chief and Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

“Well folks, I’m about to get shot. Peace.”

Just before 3 a.m. Thursday, Eric Lee Ramsey rammed a Michigan State Police patrol car in Gaylord. Like most of the night, the 30-year-old Mount Pleasant resident showed his reckless disregard—for the Central Michigan University student he tried killing, for the police and for himself. And after the senior from Grand Rapids jumped from a moving vehicle – her 2003 Ford Escape – he fled with it. North on U.S. 127, he eventually wound up in Gaylord, ramming an MSP patrol car three times, leaving it inoperable and the trooper inside injured, according to a Thursday release from the MSPGaylord Post.

Eric Lee Ramsey, Mount Pleasant man Ramsey put time between him and the law as responding troopers followed the vehicle’s snow-laden tracks into an elk ranch southeast of town. The tracks led them to the vehicle, stuck in the snow and abandoned. Foot tracks then led them to Arrow Sanitation oﬀ M-32 in Gaylord, where it is believed he stole a sanitation truck. Around this time, at approximately 3:15 a.m., a post showed up on the Facebook account belonging to Ramsey. “Well folks, I’m about to get shot. Peace,” it read. About an hour later, the post came true.

At approximately 4:15 a.m., according to the release, troopers were parked on southbound Old 27 north of Frederic looking for the stolen truck. Then it showed, without headlights, ramming an MSP vehicle from behind. A Crawford County deputy had been following the stolen truck and witnessed the collision. He continued the pursuit, and that’s when Ramsey turned around and began traveling northbound – toward the deputy. According to the release, the deputy – having watched Ramsey ram an MSP patrol car – tried turning off the roadway but was rammed, pinning him in his vehicle. He then got out, then shot and killed Ramsey. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski described the deputy as “pretty banged up” during a Thursday news conference. A FACEBOOK | 2A

Ramsey wasn’t a stranger to the legal system. According to Michigan Department of Corrections records, he was paroled in July for four separate prison sentences, including malicious destruction of ﬁre or police property (2 to 6 years), resisting or obstructing a police oﬃcer (2 to 3 years) and assault with intent to do bodily harm (5

to 15 years) in Isabella County in July 2007. In April 2006, Ramsey was sentenced to 2 to 4 years in prison for felonious assault in Gratiot County, a sentence he was still serving at the time of his death, according to records. When asked during Thursday, Mioduszewski said Ramsey had an “extensive contact with law enforcement throughout his life,” but declined commenting any further.

An area broadcast was put out to local law enforcement agencies in the lower peninsula, advising them of the situation with a description of the suspect and vehicle. “Several hours later we received a call from regional dispatch in Gaylord, advising us that the vehicle rammed one of the state police troopers out of the Gaylord post,” Mioduszewski said. “A short chase ensued; unfortunately the state trooper’s car was too damaged to proceed much longer.” Police say Ramsey drove off into a field early Thursday morning, where he abandoned the victim’s car and fled on foot to a nearby sanitation truck. He stole the truck and drove southbound on Old 127, where he rammed a second state police trooper. A Crawford County sheriff ’s

deputy spotted the vehicle near Fredric and, after the sanitation truck made contact with the third police car, the deputy stepped out and ﬁred shots and killed Ramsey. “Our prayers are with our CMU student involved in this incident,” Mioduszewski said. “We are extremely grateful that she is secure this morning and with her family. The entire CMU community stands ready to help and support both her and her family in any way possible.” The abduction was random, police say, and Ramsey had no connection with the victim prior to the incident, targeting her as a lone person he could overpower with his ﬁrearm. Evidence was collected from the residence where the sexual assault occurred and an investigation is still in progress. Police are unaware if drugs or alcohol were involved. “It happened so quick, we don’t know much more,” Mioduszewski said. “There’s going to be a lot more investigation

on our end, as well as already underway in the Gaylord and Grayling areas.” University President George Ross released a statement Thursday morning to the CMU community. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the CMU student involved in last night’s horrible crime. We are thankful that she is secure and receiving the care she needs with her family. The entire CMU community stands ready to help and support her and her family in whatever ways possible,” Ross said. According to the Michigan Department of Corrections, Ramsey is paroled out of Isabella County and has a criminal past including malicious destruction of property, resisting and assaulting a police oﬃcer, assault with intent to harm and felonious assault. -University Editor Catey Traylor contributed to this report. university@cm-life.com

Isabella County sheriff: ‘Our community is changing’ By Justin Hicks Senior Reporter

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski and Central Michigan University police chief Bill Yeagley sat side-by-side in front of a handful of cameras Thursday morning. As T.V. and news reporters crowded around the table at the Isabella County building, the two took turns depicting the incidents of Wednesday night. They then answered questions about the recent increase in local violence. “Our community is changing; there’s no question about it,” Mioduszewski said. “Five to 10 years ago, we didn’t see the frequency of the crimes and violence we’re seeing now.” Wednesday’s string of crimes include a kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, arson, attempted murder, a stolen vehicle and a weapon offense. The suspect, Mount Pleasant resident Eric Lee Ramsey, 30, and the victim, a CMU senior from the Grand Rapids area, have no connection or prior interaction, but rather their meeting was of random selection, police say. “It’s just happening, and there’s nothing we can do,” Mioduszewski said. “I know CMU can do some proactive things, as they’ve always done. But a lot of what we’ve seen in our country has been domestic-type situations or individuals with past history of doing very bad things and just continuing to do that.” Wednesday was also the day President Barack Obama proposed a package that would place a tougher ban on assault weapons, enforcing a 10-round limit on magazines, a ban on possession of armor-piercing bullets and require criminal background checks for gun sales. Wednesday’s abduction was the most recent in a string of violent incidents in the Mount Pleasant area over the past year, includ-

ing four murders, at least four people stabbed and the poisoning of a CMU student by her roommate. Yeagley said these events can’t be prevented completely, though students can be cautious and prepare themselves for violent situations. “We spend a great deal of time asking people to ask themselves, ‘How would you respond if you found yourself in a violent situation?’,” Yeagley said. “Because America, over the years, is becoming a more violent society. We just have to keep preparing, keep on our toes, keep practicing and keep responding as we do.” University President George Ross released this statement Thursday: “Please know that the events of yesterday were a horrible, but isolated incident. Police assure us that history shows CMU has a very safe campus and violent crime here is rare. The world is changing and we are living in a more violent society. We need to look out for each other. When we have opportunities to participate in safety lessons, we should do so, and pay close attention. Information and knowledge really are power.” In addition to acknowledging Wednesday’s event and campus safety, Ross said the university will double the number of Safe Ride cars available to on-campus students. Yeagley said CMU remains a safe campus despite the events of Wednesday, and his department wants to do everything it can to make the community safe. “We do a lot of training about walking in pairs and staying in lit areas,” Yeagley said. “Even though we do all these things, and even though people are paying attention, we will never be able to stop these types of isolated, random incidents. I wish we had the answer, but I don’t believe there is one.” university@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | With recent crimes in the past year, we need to strive for kindness

Jessica Fecteau Staff Reporter

Emergency alerts should not be an option Thank you, Central Michigan University, for alerting me of an abduction on campus last night. Oh, wait. That was Facebook. I get it. If I want to be alerted about the latest happenings on campus, I need to register for Central Alert, which I now am. But why should I have to register to be alerted about breaking news? It shouldn’t be an option. It’s understandable the system can’t keep up with phone numbers, but the university has my university email. I, among many other students who were not registered for the alert system, received first notice from the university about this at 11: 23 yesterday morning. What good is that doing me? What if I went on campus last night after it happened? Well, I guess I can say thank you Mark Zuckerberg and my fellow Facebook friends for picking up the university’s slack. Last spring, I was alerted that there was a meningitis outbreak on campus. I was told who contracted the sickness and what steps to take to avoid being diagnosed myself. This all happened regardless of being registered through Central Alert. I would assume that an emergency alert about abduction, sexual assault and attempted murder are on the same line of precedence. After receiving the email from University Communications notifying me of what happened, I was still surprised that the university did not take action on telling students how to protect themselves. The email states: “Yeagley acknowledged the student, calling her a hero and saying she showed strength and made smart decisions.” What were those smart decisions? UComm failed to address how this situation can help be avoided. After further learning about what happened, I commend the student for being brave enough to take charge. She did the right thing given the circumstances and her courage is something we should all look up to, man or woman. CMU was recently ranked the fifth safest campus in Michigan by stateuniversity.com, and we may be safe, but the students who chose to get on the alert list are apparently the safest. I will be the first to say the Central Alert system is a brilliant idea. We all need to be aware of what is going on, and contacting us is a good call. But student safety shouldn’t just be an option, and we shouldn’t have to log on to a computer to register for it.

Take care, CMU

ount Pleasant needs to wake up. Violence has become commonplace in Mount Pleasant and the surrounding area. Wednesday night’s abduction outside of the Student Activity Center is the latest and arguably most appalling in a string of violent crimes the community has endured over the past year.

While we will never know what was going through Eric Lee Ramsey’s head when he decided to abduct that woman Wednesday night, the only shred of good that has come out of this horrific event is the newfound awareness in the Mount Pleasant community. Since June, several violent crimes have occurred: the murder of 4-year-old Carnel Chamberlain, the Sept. 16 stabbing of two victims at Deerfield Apartments, the Oct. 31 murder of Rebekah Jane Gay, the Nov. 3 stabbing at Washington Street, the Nov. 24 fatal stabbing on Main Street, and we can’t forget the Nov. 4 alleged poisoning of a CMU students’

roommate, as well as many alleged aggravated assaults and acts of criminal sexual conduct. All of these incidents, with the exception of the poisoning, were allegedly committed by those with a troubled past. It’s time we realize that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. We need to remember this because we’ve been exposed to violence, national and locally. And now we’ve become desensitized to the gravity of these situations. However, when an instance hit so close to home, the CMU community couldn’t avoid it. It’s traumatic, scary and real. But it shouldn’t have taken so long for

CMU to feel truly shaken up by tragic events. We need action. We need to respect each other and, rather than committing random acts of violence, we should strive for acts of kindness. We need to express empathy and gratitude without expecting anything in return. Our neighbors should be more than people we say ‘hello’ to when we see them in our residence halls and apartment complexes. CMU has previously advocated a “Take Care” initiative; stressing the importance of using the buddy system, being aware of our surroundings and being ready and willing to lend a helping hand to somebody in need. But no one has paid attention to this until now. For months, maybe even semesters, it’s been a logo etched and screen printed on a free shirt handed out at MAINstage. We need to stop, focus and be more kind or we’re going to run our generation into a socially secluded ground.

[ EDITORIAL CARTOON-ENGLE ]

[ YOUR VOICE ] Reader reaction to the Jan. 17 article “CMU police investigating attempted abduction at gunpoint outside Student Activity Center” My prayers are out to the victim and their family. This is my campus, I started our SCC chapter here. I tried to make a difference for students to be in charge of their own safety here on campus. I feel like failed you, and for that, I am sorry. I can say, however, that I will be working harder for you - to ensure the safety you deserve. Gov. Snyder WILL be getting phone calls. Matt Tuzas Students for Concealed Carry -Matthew Tuzas Reader reaction to the Jan. 15 article “Academic Senate postpones vote on academic calendar, while senators raise concerns” How is this such a huge issue? CMU is one of few campuses that don’t start after Labor Day in Michigan. Students will figure out just find how to deal will 2 less weeks of classes and the same work load, students at other schools do it every year. Of course students are going to say they don’t have any time, but given that it was their only option, they’d find a way to make it work. -Crysta Heckman

Are they even gonna ask the students what their opinions are. I would rather start before labor day. I think they should let the students vote. -Alisha Parlin They did ask what the students want. There was a survey circulating early last semester. I don’t understand how not having classes cost more money. In reality, CMU spends money like water, if anything, it was Leadership Safari, and sports that were the main complainers. People need to stop being afraid of change. -Danielle Toerper Sorry, but giving us fewer lectures - which is what happens when you shorten the semester - does not improve the quality of education. Professors already struggle to impart the lessons they want to with the schedule as it is. How many of us have sat in classes wherein the professor does not make it all the way through the outline syllabus? That problem will increase. Also, if you are shorten the amount of education provided, I would expect to see a reduced rate charged per credit hour. It’s not just the amount of time a student has to complete assignments; it’s also the fact that we will simply be provided with

less instruction. Again, that is not quality education. -Jennifer Vannette Reader reaction to the Jan. 17 article “CMU police chief: Had victim not jumped out of car, ‘she would not be alive right now’” Why wasn’t campus put on lock down, especially the residence halls? And more so, why didn’t CMU alert us earlier? I didn’t receive any emails/phone calls and I’m signed up for CMU alert. If it wasn’t for twitter, I wouldn’t have known what happened. -Michael Jarvis She would have been better off she had a concealed weapons permit and a handgun. -Mike Griff I did receive a phone call last night about 11pm (i live on campus too & have one of those old brown wall phones for campus calls)... but it was 11pm & thought it was going to be about weather, next time I will not hang up before the recording is finished... AND... how about the re-vising the recording to repeat the message first off & not have about a minute or two of the university introductions... forgo the nicities to get out the message!! -Jennifer K Bentley

Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

Take care of each other The time to make CMU and Mount Pleasant safe was Tuesday. Wednesday night’s abduction and rape of a CMU student by 30-year-old Eric Lee Ramsey opens our eyes to many aspects of life here. But above all, it proves this: safety is a relative concept. Make no mistake, there are sick and twisted people among us. This issue isn’t about politics. Violent minds exist just as religious, creative and peaceful minds do. That is the scariest kind of mind to encounter and someone from our CMU family was victimized by it. This incident had nothing to do with gun control or any legislation. This was about a troubled, violent mind morphed by previous convictions and time in prison. Since Ramsey didn’t know the victim, that tells us that Ramsey just wanted to satisfy his dark and violent mind, however hidden from friends and family it was during his lifetime. Comments from people who knew him on his Facebook page suggest that he didn’t appear to be as dark and violent as he was in the final hours of his life. As far as we know, Eric Lee Ramsey’s last words to the world were “Well folkes im about to get shot. Peace,” his last status update on his Facebook profile. Legislation like gun control, mental health and politics don’t stop people like Ramsey. When has it? We are long overdue in making a conscious, deliberate effort to defeat those who try to prey on us. How about a student group dedicated to escorting people at night? If there are student groups dedicated to passing out condoms to strangers, why not groups that have the back of others walking around campus? The police, usually, can only investigate a crime once it has happened. In the case of the victim, that was not enough. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the saying goes. In a mass email from CMU President George Ross regarding the abduction, he said, “Please know that the events of yesterday were a horrible, but isolated incident. Police assure us that history shows CMU has a very safe campus and violent crime here is rare.” No, sir. One incident, especially of that nature, is far too prevalent. Let’s not leave other Chippewas alone, especially at night. You never know which parked car might have an armed felon sitting inside, looking for potential targets walking past. Hell, prison and parole didn’t stop Ramsey or change him. This was his true nature. Whatever caused his hate and anger drove him, and we can’t legislate against hate and anger. Ramsey made a conscious decision to abduct, rape and attempt to take the life of another human being. An education is, of course, valuable and worth the tuition. We’re here aren’t we? By putting ourselves on campus, there’s one inherent responsibility that should be our biggest priority. Safety.

ACADEMIC CALENDAR

A-Senate chair: Vote delayed so departments could have ‘time to think’ By Brianna Owczarzak Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University’s Academic Senate postponed voting on the proposed academic calendar change until Jan. 29 at Tuesday’s meeting. “We didn’t take any action on it because we wanted to give departments time to think about what they wanted to do,” A-Senate Chairman Jim McDonald said. If A-Senate turns down the proposed calendar changes, the academic calendar will either remain the same or the proposed changes will be reformed, McDonald said. “It was an A-Senate committee that proposed (the changes),” McDonald said. “The Senate has the ability to take back their proposal. If the A-Senate turns down the changes, the administration will still have to talk about it because it’s a bargaining issue.” Matt Serra, executive director of faculty and personnel services, believes ASenate has the ability to vote down the proposed changes. “If A-Senate supports the proposed calendar, then CMU and (the) CMU Faculty Association will continue to discuss it as required by Letter of Agreement No. 9,” Serra said via email. “If A-

Senate does not support the proposed calendar, then it is my understanding that the matter ends there.” Student Government Association President and Macomb junior Justin Gawronski has been at the forefront of the SGA’s opposition to the new calendar. “A lot of the resistance came from a lack of knowledge about the impacts of this change,” Gawronski said via email. “That is why, instead of outright withdrawing support of the change, the A-Senate motion that was presented was to collect that data that everyone deserved to hear. Now that we have that information, the overwhelming opposition to the change speaks for itself. I feel that if it isn’t broken, why are we trying to fix it?” Gawronski said he doesn’t see how A-Senate can approve the proposed changes. “Financially and academically, this change is irresponsible,” he said. Gawronski said the conversation should end if A-Senate turns down the proposed changes. “The need for a fall break was mentioned multiple times in the Provost’s report, and I think that proposal is something I would like to have a conversation about,” Gawronski said. university@cm-life.com

Site plans approved for Olive Garden By Megan Pacer Staff Reporter

Union Township is one step closer to gaining an Olive Garden franchise restaurant. The Township’s Planning Commission approved site plans for the restaurant Wednesday night, recommending construction directly south of Red Lobster, 4062 E. Bluegrass Rd.. Now awaiting approval by the Union Township Board of Trustees, the restaurant will provide seating for more than 200 people and an 87-space parking lot to be shared with the neighboring Red Lobster when needed. Olive Garden and Red Lobster are both owned by Darden Restaurants. Construction will begin as soon as the review process is finished, Jack DeGange, site development manager and Olive Garden representative, said. “We usually start construction fairly quickly,” DeGange said. The project should take around six months to complete, he said, including both construction and employee training. “It’s a nice-looking building,” board member Rick McGuirk said. “(It is) a nice addition to the community.” Having the restaurant positioned next to Red Lobster is no accident, DeGange said,

calling the arrangement a part of a new trend in restaurant cooperation. Another case of Red Lobster and Olive Garden teaming up occurred last summer in Brunswick, Ga., where the restaurants share both parking and an entire kitchen, DeGange said. “That’s a very exciting design approach,” DeGange said, explaining that the combination of the Red Lobster and Olive Garden chains is what Darden calls a “synergy approach.” Planning for the new restaurant started in December, when variances for signage and yard space were granted at a Zoning Board of Appeals meeting. “There was really only one major concern,” Zoning Administrator William Woodruff said, referring to the Mount Pleasant Fire Department expressing concern over a barrier between the restaurant and the existing fire hydrant on the Red Lobster property. The board concluded the issue was not major enough to withhold approval. The project has been recommended to the Union Township Board of Trustees for final approval. They are slated to meet at the Union Township Hall, 2010 S. Lincoln Road, at 7 p.m. on Feb. 13. metro@cm-life.com

Mount Pleasant resident Russ Eidenberger, head coach for Patriots Pee-Wee One, coaches a group of players during practice Tuesday evening at the Isabella County Events Arena, 5165 E. Remus Rd. “I love this sport, and there’s no better feeling than when one of these kids does something phenomenal,” Eidenberger said.

Pee-Wee Puckhead Coach revels in teaching sport, having fun Tony Wittkowski | Senior Reporter

Hockey is considered more important than air to some in Mount Pleasant. None more so than Patriots Pee-Wee 1 head coach Russ Eidenberger. Known by most as an emotional guy on the bench during games, Eidenberger coaches one of the pee-wee hockey teams for five months a year at the Isabella County Events Arena, 5165 E. Remus Road. The two teams in the association representing Mount Pleasant in the ADRAY Community Hockey League are Pee-Wee 1 and 2. With so many kids in the community, Mount Pleasant created two teams in two different divisions to allow everyone playing time. “I’m glad I can be a part of it,” Eidenberger said. “I love this sport, and there is no better feeling then when one of these kids does something phenomenal.” But don’t ask Eidenberger about his team’s record, because he doesn’t keep track of it. “It doesn’t matter,” Eidenberger said. “My objective is to teach hockey to these kids and to make sure they are

having fun.” Originally, Eidenberger was a hockey referee and started officiating in 1994 in the North American Hockey League, as well as the United States Hockey League. During his time in the rink, Eidenberger’s son watched him, which led to him wanting to play hockey. Two years ago, his son’s team didn’t have a coach, and Eidenberger was still invested in officiating and traveling across the country. His wife made the suggestion that he coach. Now, as not only one of the coaches, but one of the parents, he has to chip in for ice time, which costs $170 an hour. Ice time is the biggest expense in the league, despite traveling for more than 20 games and equipment being provided when needed. With only two practices a week, Eidenberger has little time to prepare his team for the two-to-three games played on the weekend.

JEFFREY SMITH/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Thomas Eidenberger, 11, of Mount Pleasant laughs between drills with other Pee-Wee One players Tuesday evening at the Isabella County Events Arena, 5165 E. Remus Road.

In the beginning, it was difficult for Eidenberger because the team did not want to work together. Luckily for both coaches and players, adjustments were made, and the wins soon followed. “I would feel comfortable saying there is not one team that I don’t think they could beat in the state of Michigan in our division, as long as they go out and do what they are supposed to do,” Eidenberger said. Tom Kunse wears a lot of hats for the league as both the association president and the

assistant coach for Eisenberger’s team. “We play until they kick us out,” Kunse said while helping tie a player’s skate. This weekend, every team in the league will be attending a tournament in Sault Ste. Marie and rented 68 hotel rooms. One thing Kunse wants his players to keep in mind throughout the weekend is their team’s mantra and what the league is all about. “It’s not about falling,” he said. “It’s about getting up.” metro@cm-life.com

Isabella County sheriff: Guns selling like ‘hotcakes’ By Tony Wittkowski Senior Reporter

President Barack Obama unveiled a comprehensive gun control package, including 23 executive actions Wednesday in response to the recent Connecticut elementary school shooting. But it seems this was just a preview of what is to come for gun control. Obama said he intends to use whatever weight his office holds to make the executive actions a reality. Many of the president’s proposals can be implemented through execu-

tive actions, but the rest need approval from Congress. The centerpieces of Obama’s gun control package, including a ban on assault weapons and universal background checks, must be approved by Congress. Obama urged Congress to take up his package and pace it immediately, even if it is a tough political sell. “To make a real and lasting difference, Congress, too, must act–and Congress must act soon,” Obama said. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said ever since gun control became a priority, weaponry has been selling like

‘hotcakes.’ Other portions of the package include directing the Centers for Disease Control and other agencies to research the causes of gun violence and directing federal law enforcement officials to trace all guns taken in custody during criminal investigations. “As far as universal background checks go, that’s a step in the right direction,” Mioduszewski said . “Whether a weapon is sold privately or through Jay’s Sporting Goods, that would be beneficial for law enforcement.” Addressing Obama’s as-

sault weapons ban proposal, Mioduszewski said he expects citizens who already own assault weapons to use them responsibility. “I know a lot of law-abiding citizens have assault weapons such as AR-15 that we will never have a problem with this,” Mioduszewski said. And there are some, Mioduszewski said, who will find any way they can to get a hold of these weapons no matter what, which could have a negative effect on law enforcement. metro@cm-life.com

Associate VP for Institutional Diversity candidate Lawrence Burnley holds open forum By Justin Hicks Senior Reporter

ZACK WITTMAN/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Dr. Lawrence Burnley presents his platform as a candidate for Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity Wednesday afternoon in the Lake Superior Room at the Bovee University Center.

Diversity, inclusion and equity were three pillars Lawrence Burnley discussed during Wednesday’s open forum at Bovee University Center for the position of associate vice president for institutional diversity. Burnley is one of two candidates for the position at Central Michigan University left unoccupied by Denise Green, who resigned to take the position of assistant vice president/vice provost of equity, diversity and inclu-

sion at Ryerson University in Toronto. In front of an audience of about 24 people, Burnley answered questions about his experience, skills and aspirations and gave feedback on the university’s current diversity program and steps he would take in making improvements. “The institution has to be purposeful in understanding best and promising practices in the recruitment and retention of those (minority) communities,” Burnley said. “We have to study that; we have to assess our processes, and we

have to develop the capacity, particularly those who have primary responsibilities, for retention and recruitment processes.” He said the department website would be an area he would like to make significant changes to. “You have great things going on here – extraordinary things – but, quite frankly, I had to dig a little bit to get to it. It’s like you’re not telling your story,” he said. Lawrence holds the position of assistant vice president for diversity and intercultural relations at

Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash. He has also been an assistant professor of history since 2010. “I thought he did an outstanding job; I was very impressed,” Student Government Association President Justin Gawronski said. “It’s probably a bit intimidating to come to CMU which has 27,000 The other candidate is Interim Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity Traci Guinn.

Team looks to bounce back after two road losses; Ball State up next By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Men’s head basketball coach Keno Davis, left, and women’s head basketball coach Sue Guevara, right, will be coaching their teams in back-to-back games on Saturday at McGuirk Arena.

Back-to-back Keno Davis, Sue Guevara hope weekend doubleheader will bring more fans out

The women will tip-off at 2 p.m. against Northern Illinois, as it tries to start the MAC season 4-0, while the men are looking to get above .500 overall and get back to .500 in MAC play when it hosts Ball State. “Two good MAC West rivalries is going to be fun to watch,” said women’s head coach Sue Guevara. “We both play an exciting brand of basketball and it’s going to be exciting.” The men’s team has been promoting its brand all season, doing various things around campus, e-mailing students and holding

student section learning sessions. So, with the women’s game right before, the team is hoping to capitalize off the men’s growing fanbase. “If some of the fans decided to make a day out of it, coming to both, I think our programs would love that,” said men’s head coach Keno Davis. “I would love for any support we get, each and every day.” The women haven’t had the best attendance, despite its winning ways, but what fans do show up are loud. The men’s team has had great attendance,

“Two good MAC West rivalries is going to be fun to watch.” Sue Guevara, women’s head coach compared to previous seasons, and perhaps a doubleheader will provide both teams with a chance to show what they have to some new faces. “Our fans have been pretty good for us here,” Guevara said. “And, if you look at how both teams play, I think it’s exciting.” Both teams run a fastpaced offense but have struggled defensively, giving the expectation for a high-scoring game every time the teams take the court. Guevara is hoping that her fast-paced offense will intrigue the men’s fans, who might be planning attended both games. “I’m hoping we can draw some of the men’s fans to our game,” she said. “Hopefully our fans will stay and watch the men.”

When someone mentions a doubleheader, typically they are talking about baseball. Well, McGuirk Arena will be hosting a doubleheader of its own Saturday when both the men’s and women’s basketball teams will host a pair of Mid-American Conference games.

The men’s basketball team returns to McGuirk Arena to play Ball State at 7 p.m. Saturday after suffering its second-straight conference loss on the road. Head coach Keno Davis said it was a part of the learning process and noted the losses Central Michigan was dealt were against the 2012 Mid-American Conference West Division champion, Eastern Michigan and preseason MAC favorite Toledo. “I think you’re looking at two really good ball clubs,” Davis said. “And you’re playing on the road, so you don’t expect to have an easy task.” It might be its opponent, the Cardinals, who faces a difficult challenge this time around. The Chippewas are 4-1 at McGuirk Arena where assistant coach Jeff Smith said the student attendance total for the season was

on track to be the best in a decade last week. “I don’t think there is anything more important in college basketball than home court advantage,” Davis said. “For our young team especially, going on the road will be a task that will get a little easier, but we also, at the same time, need to build our own home court advantage.” People in attendance may not see anyone play in Mount Pleasant who is as good as Ball State’s Majok Majok, statistically, for the rest of the season. He is averaging a doubledouble with 11.9 points and 10.5 rebounds a game. “Those are big-time numbers,” Davis said. “He is not just a big-time talent, but also someone who brings great effort and energy every game.” It is his first year with the Cardinals, transferring in from Midland College in Texas.

Whether or not the doubleheader will bring in more fans for the men is unclear and Davis hasn’t given too much thought on the subject. “I haven’t really given much thought about both games being on the same day,” he said. “I don’t know if there is a true advantage in having both games on the same day.” Regardless of the turnout, there is a lot to be excited about in McGuirk Arena these days. The women’s team played one of the toughest non-conference schedules and are currently on a three-game winning streak to start MAC play, while sophomore guard Crystal Bradford has been playing A DOUBLEHEADER | 2B

CMU looking for fourth straight win against Northern Illinois By Mark Johnson Staff Reporter

Women’s basketball is looking to continue its strong Mid-American Conference start at 2 p.m. Saturday in McGuirk Arena when Northern Illinois comes to town. The Huskies come in as the hottest three-point shooting team in the MAC at 36 percent. Standing out for NIU is sophomore guard Amanda Corral, who is No. 6 in the MAC in scoring (13.1 points per game). But, CMU is also highly touted offensively. The Chippewas are second in the MAC in scoring (73.7 points per game), third in field goal percentage (.416) and third in 3-point field goal percentage (.336) with Niki DiGuilio who is currently number eight in the country (46.9). “If you look at both teams, how both teams play, it’s an exciting brand of

basketball,” said head coach Sue Guevara. Standing out for NIU is sophomore guard Amanda Corral who is eighth in the MAC in scoring (13.1 points per game). The Chippewas are second in the MAC in scoring (73.8 points per game), second in field goal percentage (.415) and third in 3-point field goal percentage (.335) with junior guard Niki DiGuilio, who is currently No. 8 in the country (46). Overall, they are one of the best offensive teams in the MAC, but they will be challenged against one of the toughest defenses in NIU, who has been holding opponents to an average of 57.9 points per game, good for No. 3 in the MAC. The Chippewas currently lead the MAC West by a game over Toledo, while the Huskies are 0-3 in MAC A WOMEN’S | 2B

Jahleel Addae looks to increase draft stock close to Florida home By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

When former Central Michigan safety Jahleel Addae takes the field for the 88th annual East-West Shrine Game on Saturday, he’ll have one of the biggest cheering sections of any player. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Addae played high school football in Valrico, Fla., less than an hour away from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla, where the game will be played. “I have about 6o people coming,” Addae said. “There’s even more people buying tickets though. Having my last official college game in the Tampa area where I grew up is awesome. Especially since it’s going to be in front of the people who have loved and supported me from the beginning.”

Addae, who received All-Conference honors in three-straight season at CMU, will play for Team West coached by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Leeman Bennett. The East-West Shrine Game is the country’s longest-running college all-star game. The game’s proceeds are donated to 22 different Shriner’s Hospitals for Children around the country. As part of the game, players paid a visit to the hospital in the Tampa area. “The fact that it’s in the Tampa area where I’m from was special,” Addae said. “We got to touch the hearts of a lot of young kids that have been going through a lot, so that was truly a blessing.” Over the years, the EastWest Shrine Game has featured some of the country’s

best talent, and this year is no different, with players such as Kansas State quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein and two-time First-Team Big East running back Ray Graham participating. “It’s cool being around these guys,” Addae said. “Every Saturday, once your game’s over, you watch other prospects around the country. Being able to compete with these guys is awesome.” Addae received an invitation to the game via e-mail. In 2012 he finished third on the team with 89 tackles. He also tied for the MidAmerican Conference lead with four interceptions. Most experts have Addae projected to be a mid-tolate round draft selection. Addae said he has talked A ADDAE | 2B

A large part of the success women’s basketball has been experiencing has been, in part, due to the play of

Gymnastics team trying to stay focused for MAC opener at Ball State By Emily Grove Senior Reporter

No. 16 gymnastics will step outside its comfort zone today as the team competes in Ball State for the season’s first road meet. The Chippewas will take on the Cardinals in the Mid-American Conference opener at 7 p.m. Head coach Jerry Reighard said away meets bring out a different mindset for the gymnast. “Everything from the bus ride down there, to the hotel, to the meals you don’t prepare, it all plays in,” he said. “It’s definitely something we think about as coaches. The psyche, the mindset is a little different, but, for the most part, we’re going down there with veterans who have done this before.” One of those veterans is senior and captain Emily LaFountaine. For LaFountaine, away meets are a great opportunity for team bonding. “It’s different going away, but I like it more because we’re unified from start to finish,” Emily LaFountaine LaFountaine said. “There’s more team stuff pre-meet because we’re all in the same hotel and eating dinner together. Getting

“It’s different going away, but I like it more because we’re unified from start to finish. There’s more team stuff pre-meet because we’re all in the same hotel and eating dinner together.

to the gym we just have to know the gymnastics doesn’t change.” But adjusting to new equipment can still be a challenge. Reighard said the beam and vault are identical no matter where the team goes, but bars have different tensions, and the floors have different types of springiness. CMU leads Ball State 51-11 all-time. Last year, the Chippewas defeated the Cardinals, 193.350-190.100, in Mount Pleasant. The team is focusing on competing at Ball State but not competing against Ball State. “It doesn’t matter what Ball State does, it matters what CMU does with the score we get,” Reighard said. “I’m not saying we’re looking past them as an opponent, but we’re not trying to stay on, we’re trying to get 9.8s which, I think, is a different place than where Ball State is at.”

Last week, CMU had a 195.050-193.100 victory over New Hampshire. The Chippewas excelled in the uneven bars, scoring a 49.075. On the first event, vault, Reighard said he didn’t feel the scores judges awarded reflected what he and the coaches expected. Reighard said that was an emotional drain and he hopes this weekend the gymnasts can stay motivated through all four events. “Numbers play games with our heads, that’s our sport,” Reighard said. “We could go to Muncie and have the best performances and what we thought were 9.8s, and the judges are really tough and don’t give us those scores. We can’t do anything about that. In one case we’re performance driven and in the other case we’re numbers driven.” sports@cm-life.com

Chippewas ranked No. 16 nationally; team hopes to crack top-12 By Emily Grove Senior Reporter

Being ranked nationally at No. 16 is a nice accomplishment. But, the Central Michigan gymnastic team hopes it’s just the beginning of a climb into the top-12. Senior Meaghan McWhorter said it was the highest the team has been ranked since she’s been at CMU. “It was really nice to come out No. 16,” McWhorter said. “With that said, we’re definitely not settling for that.” Head coach Jerry Reighard and his team have established one major goal for this season—get into nationals. At the end of the regular season, the top 36 teams across the nation are selected with six teams in the six regions. The top two teams from each region then move on to nationals. Reighard said cracking the top 12 is the ultimate goal, although he knows it’s a monumental task that has only been done two times before in the program’s history. Despite how challenging the task at hand is, Reighard said he believes his team has the talent to accomplish it. “We had two really good opening meets, but they weren’t good enough to do what we want to do,” Reighard said. “To get

“We had two really good opening meets, but they weren’t good enough to do what we want to do. To get to the top 12 we now are forced to knock off four teams. We have to score better than four teams and that’s not an easy thing to do.” Jerry Reighard, head coach to the top 12 we now are forced to knock off four teams. We have to score better than four teams and that’s not an easy thing to do.” A score of 196 would likely knock off the four teams ahead of CMU, Reighard said. Getting a 196 would mean scores of 9.8s or higher on all events. “At this point, we have all the skills and everything we need,” McWhorter said. “It’s just believing in our gymnastics and doing our gymnastics when it matters. So what we’ve been doing in the gym is to recreate 9.8s and 9.9s and the scores we want, so that when we go to the meet it’s just regular routine for us to get a 9.8.” Although, the Chippewas aren’t where it wants to be right now in the rankings, there is one thing Reighard and the girls can’t stop smiling about.

place finish last weekend at the Virginia Duals. “Rankings don’t mean much to me,” Bennett said. “It’s someone else’s opinion. Regardless there is still a lot of work to do and to improve on.” The Chippewas have plenty to be happy for, despite a drop in rankings. CMU currently has five wrestlers in the top-20, four of which are in the top ten. Also the Chippewas, during a time that the flu is spreading, are in good health. “We’re really happy about

our teams health,” Borrelli said. “No one is injured or dinged up and no one is sick.” This road trip will lead into CMU’s last home stand of the season, which continues conference wrestling Jan. 27 against Kent State. The team will remain at home through the beginning of February (Feb. 3 vs. Old Dominion, Feb. 8 vs. Eastern Michigan).

Bradford stepping into veteran role

Women’s basketball beats WMU, 72-58, to improve MAC record to 3-0 By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

By Mark Johnson Staff Reporter

Women’s basketball went into Wednesday night’s game against Western Michigan looking to continue its early Mid-American Conference dominance. The Chippewas were able to keep up the momentum, beating the Broncos 72-58, behind sophomore guard Crystal Bradford, who kept up her MAC Player of the Year-type start. Bradford recorded her second straight doubledouble and came within one point of her career high with 26 points, 13 rebounds and 4 steals. “I’m just trying to help my team, playing hard and doing whatever I can do,” Bradford said. “Coming in as a sophomore, I’m like a veteran now, I realize that my defense actually opens up my offense.” After a slow first half, scoring nine points along with five rebounds, Bradford and the women’s basketball team went into halftime with a 31-29 lead. But, it came out determined and ready to start the second half. The Chippewas were able to pull away in the second half thanks to a strong half from Bradford. In the second half alone, Bradford had 17 points and eight rebounds. In addition to her defense, Bradford proved to be key to their third-straight MAC win. To start the season, Bradford has stepped up and has led the team to some key wins, and has become a solid defensive player. Offensively, she has become a reliable option who the team can rely on for almost every game. “I’m becoming more of a leader,” Bradford said. “My energy brings excitement to the team and turns the team up.”

Sophomore guard Crystal Bradford clears the basket during the game against Western Michigan Wednesday night at McGuirk Arena. Bradford scored a total of 26 points. CMU beat Western Michigan 72-58.

The rest of the MAC is recognizing the work that Bradford has been doing this season. Coming off twostraight MAC Player of the Week honors, Bradford is looking to continue her high level of play as she and her team go deeper into their conference schedule. A tough non-conference schedule against teams like Notre Dame, Texas and Purdue also played a big part in the growth of Bradford’s game. “I learned that I have to play hard and stay consistent,” Bradford said, “I don’t want my points or my rebounds to go up and down, so each game (Guevara) knows what she’s going to

get out of me.” Bradford is ranked in the first in MAC play in a number of categories, including points per game (22), rebounds per game (11.7) and steals per game (3.3). she is also second in assists with five per game. If Bradford continues to play at this pace she will continue to receive MAC Player of the Week honors. A potential goal? A MAC Player of the Year award. “I’ve thought about it,” Bradford said, “I keep getting MAC Player of the Week, and I guess those will add up to a year.” sports@cm-life.com

The women’s basketball team began the Mid-American Conference season 3-0 after a 72-58 blowout of Western Michigan Wednesday night in McGuirk Arena. “Western Michigan gave us its best shot and you have to credit them for that,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “I thought that when we came out we had to give our best shot regardless of who we were playing. It wasn’t pretty, but we were able to grind it out.” Sophomore guard Crystal Bradford recorded her sixth double-double of the season with 26 points and 13 rebounds, which is one point shy of her career-high 27 she had against Toledo last Thursday. “I’m just trying to help my team,” Bradford said. “Coming in as a sophomore, I’m kind of a veteran now and I think our defense really opened up our offense. I would say I’m becoming more of a leader thanks to my energy.” Senior forward Jessica Schroll finished with her first double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds. This was the first time all season that two Chippewas had a doubledouble in the same game. “I wasnt concentrating as much on the doubledouble,” Schroll said. “Our energy picked up in the second half and we were able to make better decisions and we started gelling together a little bit.” The Broncos came out of the gate playing aggressive on defense, forcing 10 CMU turnovers in the first half, which resulted in nine WMU points. It was a back and forth first half as both teams struggled to find any sort of rhythm offensively. The big difference for the Chippewas in the first half was its three-point shooting that helped contribute to a 31-29 halftime lead.

“Western Michigan gave us its best shot and you have to credit them for that.” Sue Guevara, head coach Junior guard Niki DiGuilio started off the game for CMU with a three as she was 3-for-5 from beyond the arc in the first half. The largest lead for the Chippewas in the first half was seven after sophomore forward Jas’Mine Bracey made a layup with 5:17 left in the half. What was a back and forth game with turnovers and missed opportunities in the first, turned into a 22-9 run to begin the second half for CMU thanks to contributions from Bradford who had nine points during the run and Schroll who contributed with six points. The offense was more aggressive and took better care of the ball with only three turnovers in the second half. The defense also stepped up and forced 11 turnovers turning them into 15 points. Guevara said she credits the team for being more

aggressive on defense and creating more scoring opportunities. “We came out in the second half and made some adjustments and were able to be in better control by forcing more turnovers,” she said. “We had shots in the paint that just weren’t going in, we had layups that didn’t go in. It was just a matter of finishing our shots.” Senior Brandie Baker finished with eight points and seven rebounds. With two made free throws she also grabbed sole possession of sixth place in made freethrows in a career with 296. “I think we’re learning how to play with the bull’s eye on our back,” Guevara said. The Chippewas will start a McGuirk Arena doubleheader at 2 p.m. Saturday against Northern Illinois. sports@cm-life.com

Men’s track to face stiff competition

Zach Saylor cleared to play by coach Keno Davis, listed as day-to-day By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

By Malachi Barrett Staff Reporter

The men’s track and field team will travel to Ann Arbor this weekend for the Simmons-Harvey Invitational to test its mettle after an overwhelming home victory last weekend. Last week, CMU had four athletes meet Mid-American Conference Championship qualifying marks, including senior Nathan Huff, sophomore Tanner Pesonen, freshman Craig Mauldin and sophomore Dee Smith. Also attending the invitational Saturday will be Eastern Michigan, the University of Delaware and host Michigan. This will be a good gauge for the Chippewas as well as an opportunity to gain more momentum as the season starts rolling. “Each week it should get a little more competitive at the meets we go to,” said director of track and field Willie Randolph. “Michigan always comes competitive, but we don’t really pay attention to conference names; we just go in there and compete.” Expect to see more solid performances from the young CMU team. Juniors Ross Parsons and Clay Hol-

man and sophomores Clinton Cargile, Ethan Lievense and Kyle Stacks all put forth good efforts for the Chippewas. Despite Michigan’s close loss last week to Ohio State, the Wolverines have been heating up. They are a wellrounded team with an abundance of young talent. Both teams have a large number of developing freshman and sophomore runners. With a deep roster of young athletes, U-M will present a challenging adversary for the growing CMU team. “I would say that we’re going to see a lot of competition coming out of the sprints and the hurdles,” Randolph said. “We’ll definitely see some from the jumping events, pole vaults and some other areas. Of course, Michigan has also had some really good distance running for years.”

The Chippewas are looking to benefit from this competitive atmosphere. While championships are still a long ways off, the indoor season is short and the focus on making qualifying times is looming over the athletes. This weekend, a few athletes are getting rest to prepare for the coming weeks. Allowing beat up players some reprieve is an important strategy to keep athletes fresh into the offseason. “Sometimes it’s better to pull back and train instead of trying to just go out and figure it out during the meet,” Randolph said. “There are times when to we need to pull back and fix things to make sure that when we get to championships we’re ready to go versus being broke from rushing.” sports@cm-life.com

The men’s basketball team has been without its only true center since a loss against Bradley on Nov. 28. But, it looks like a return is in sight. Senior center Zach Saylor said he is ready to play for Central Michigan after sustaining a mini-meniscus tear in his left knee. “It feels great to be cleared,” he said. “It has been five weeks to this day that I had my surgery and I’m getting back to the rhythm of things.” Head coach Keno Davis said he is still calling Saylor’s status day-to-day after he played in limited practice Thursday. “Now that he’s cleared, it’s more of just making sure that he’s improving and getting some stamina back,” Davis said. “We want to put him out there when we feel like he can be successful for us and help us win.” Davis said when Saylor is inserted back into the rotation there will not be changes on offense or defense. It will just be an added player with experience and who can play in the frontcourt for the team.

“I believe I can help this team win. The past two games have been unfortunate. They’ve been close, but they have been playing together as a team and playing to win.” Zach Saylor, Senior center Saylor said it has been a recovery that has been easier as a result of being riddled with injuries throughout his five-year career with the Chippewas. “I’ve been here before with my shoulders, so that’s helped a lot,” he said. Zach Saylor “That’s helped me go through it. But, just taking it as it comes, just slowly, build yourself back up and you will be fine.” He was limited to nine games in his first year, missed the first 13 games in his sophomore season, and had to be red-shirted in his junior year because of injuries. Saylor started in all six games he played to start this season and averaged 5.3 points and 3.8 re-

bounds. He had a career-high in points with 14 and also had six rebounds against Olivet on Nov. 16. Davis gave him high praise after the game. “Every good team has a Zach Saylor on it,” Davis said. “He’s not going to play well each and every day, but, he’s going to play hard, and as a coach, you can’t be upset with Zach Saylor when he doesn’t have a good game because you know he’s giving everything he’s got out there.” If Saylor plays against Ball State on Saturday, he could aid the team in halting a two-game losing streak. “I believe I can help this team win,” he said. “The past two games have been unfortunate. They’ve been close, but they have been playing together as a team and playing to win.” sports@cm-life.com

Women’s track to keep some behind for Harvey-Simmons Invite By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

Women’s track and field will be without a few members but looks to stay competitive at the HarveySimmons Invitational in Ann Arbor this weekend. Track and field director Willie Randolph cites the need for extra rest and the flu amongst some players as the reason for keeping some of the athletes back in Mount Pleasant for Saturday’s meet. “Right now, we’re just trying to let the bodies start to catch up a little bit and trying to be more specific on our technique,” he said. The Chippewas will be leaving behind some of their throwers and jumpers in order for them to get some more rest in preparation for the upcoming outdoor

season and for Jan. 26, which Randolph considers an important point of the season. Things will begin to get more competitive with all Mid-American Conference schools having started their seasons by that date. In preparation for Saturday’s meet, it has been mostly business as usual for the team during their weekly practices. With the cold and flu season as well as a new semester underway, Randolph knows that it can be challenging when the forces of nature intervene and the need for academic success remains an underlying theme throughout the year. “We’re not changing a lot,” Randolph said. “We’re just making sure we’re adjusting to what is going on, especially with the sick bug that’s

going around right now.” Despite the recent stresses put on by academics and sickness, the women’s team has senior middle distance runner Charnele Lyons back from injury. After being gone for over a year, her coach and team are glad to have her back from her long, injury-ridden journey. “She’s been out from the track scene since crosscountry last year,” Randolph said. “To see her get out there and turn on the lights of competition, it was really good to see.” Lyons posted a runnerup finish in the 800m at the 2011 Simmons-Harvey Invitational with a time of 2:16.21 after being redshirted for the 2010 outdoor track and field season.
