Phi Kappa Tau suspended from campus pending investigation

By Paige Sheffield Features Editor news@cm-life.com

The Gamma Lambda chapter of Phi Kappa Tau is temporarily suspended from operation pending an investigation on whether the fraternity violated Central Michigan University’s Student Code of Conduct and the Fraternal Information and Programming Group guidelines.

The fraternity was suspended Thursday, Oct. 5. A suspension means the fraternity is not recognized as an organization at CMU and is banned from booking spaces or hosting events.

Tim Hudson, Chief Executive Officer of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity and Foundation, said the national fraternity takes

any allegations of violations by chapters seriously.

“The local alumni volunteers, the regional officer and the executive offices staff are in agreement about the temporary suspension and the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations,” Hudson said. “The (CMU) chapter has been encouraged to fully cooperate with the university-led investigation.”

Damon Brown, director of Student Activities and Involvement, said his office has an obligation to be transparent and inform students about the status of student organizations.

Brown was not able to elaborate on the reason Phi Kappa Tau was suspended citing an ongoing university investigation. He was also unable to say when the

investigation will be complete.

“We want to be able to celebrate the successes of all of our student organizations and the wonderful things they’re doing around campus,” Brown said. “At the same time, when things go bad, we can’t stick our head in the ground and say ‘I don’t see that’ or ‘we’re not going to tell anybody about that.’”

Several organizations have bylaws that state active organizations can’t have events with suspended groups, Brown said, and there are consequences for groups that do.

Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Brown said, the suspension could be lifted or Phi Kappa Tau could face further sanctions from the Office of Student Conduct.

Topics such as safety and methods of immigration sparked differing emotions between panelists and audience members at the Speak Up, Speak Out forum.

More than 60 people were present at the discussion titled “Immigration and What It Means in the USA” Oct. 23 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium.

The panel consisted of: • Christi Brookes, department chair of World Languages and Cultures • Tracy Nakajima, director of International Student Scholar Services; • Senior Jeremy Rodgers of CMU College Republicans • Sophomore Julia Dobija of Refugee Outreach Collective • Shaminul Shakib, graduate assistant in the Master of Public Health program.

Students, faculty and staff in attendance bounced questions back and forth off one another for more than an hour on the topic.

Rodgers said the term “immigration” is strongly used within society, and it’s important to understand how people use it. “(The term) is not always used in a bad way, but many people view it differently if you’re local,” Rodgers said.

The panel and audience agreed safety should be a priority when admitting immigrants into the U.S. However, there was disagreement on methods of immigrations and the opinions evoked when the term immigration is used.

The panelists also discussed President Donald Trump’s plans on border control and shared their personal thoughts.

“We need to make sure that people have good intentions when they come here, to avoid harming U.S. citizens,” Rodgers said.

Panelist Christi Brookes, said

after the terrorist attack on Sept.

11, 2001, things changed for immigrants due to rising fears from Americans.

“Things had changed drastically in the world, especially for adults at that time,” Brookes said.

During the panel, Nakajima brought up the topic of the benefits immigrants bring.

“We need to keep in mind there are several immigrants in the United States helping with the economy,” Nakajima said.

Other topics discussed included immigrant family reunification, which brought up the conversation of how things have changed within families as time goes on, noticing the different changes within the years.

The students and panelists also discussed their thoughts on who deserves to be in the U.S., and elaborated on the precautions needed to do it properly.

The next Speak Up, Speak Out forum of this semester “Justifying Force”, is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 14 in the UC Auditorium.

Education college persists despite declining teacher enrollment

By Melissa Frick Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Like many universities in the United States, Central Michigan University is seeing a decline in the number of students pursuing degrees in education.

Statistics​ ​show​ ​that​ ​the​ ​number​ ​of​ ​students​ ​who​ ​are​ ​ majoring​ ​in​ ​education​ ​have decreased​ ​over​ ​the​ ​years.​ ​ A​ ​2016​ ​study​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Learning​ ​Policy​ ​Institute​ ​found​ ​ there​ ​was a​ ​35​ ​percent​ ​reduction​ ​of​ ​enrollment​ ​in​ ​undergraduate​ ​teacher​ ​preparation​​ ​nationally since 2009.

CMU’s​ ​College​ ​of​ ​Education​ ​and​ ​Human​ ​Services​ ​ is working​​hard​​to combat the trend and prepare the country’s future teachers.​​​ Between 2012 and 2016, overall undergraduate student enrollment in EHS has fallen from 1,692 to 1,530. Graduate enrollment has seen a similar decline, falling from 273 in 2012 to 173 in 2016.

EHS ​is​ ​not​ ​fixated ​on​ ​the​ ​numbers,​ ​but​ ​rather​ ​ focusing​ ​on​ ​producing​ ​the​ ​best​ educators​ ​they​ ​ can, said Katherine​ ​Dirkin,​ ​chair ​of​ ​the​ ​Teacher​ ​ Education​ ​program.

“We’re​ ​looking​ ​at​ ​it​ ​in​ ​terms​ ​of​ ​the​ ​state​ ​needs,​ ​ what​ ​our​ ​students​ ​need,”​ Dirkin said.​ ​“It’s about​ ​ what’s​ ​the​ ​best​ ​thing​ ​we​ ​can​ ​do​ ​to​ ​prepare​ ​exceptional​ ​teacher​ ​educators.​ ​We​ ​could​ ​fill seats,​ ​but​ ​ that’s​ ​not​ ​always​ ​producing​ ​the​ ​best​ ​teacher​ ​educators, and​ ​that’s​ ​our​ ​focus.”

Dirkin​ ​said​ ​she​ ​is​ ​optimistic​ ​about​ ​the​ ​college’s​ ​direction ​and​ ​the​ ​changes​ ​that​ ​have been​ ​implemented​ ​ in​ ​its​ ​innovative​ ​programs.

Dale​ ​Elizabeth-Pehrsson,​ ​dean​ ​of​ ​the​ ​EHS,​ ​is also optimistic​ ​about​ ​the future. She said​ ​the​ ​EHS​ ​was​ ​one​ ​ of​ ​the​ ​first​ ​colleges​ ​to​ ​hire​ ​its​ ​own recruiter​ ​for​ ​teacher​ ​ education and​​ ​for​ ​the​ ​other​ ​services​ ​in​ ​the​ ​college.

She​ ​believes​ ​in​ ​the​ ​direction​ ​of​ ​the​ ​college ​and ​that​ ​ teaching​ ​is​ ​the​ ​“essential profession.”

“Teachers​ ​have​ ​to​ ​know​ ​psychology, ​ ​physical​ ​development, ​ ​family​ ​dynamics,​ ​pedagogy, and​ ​be​ ​experts​ ​ in​ ​content​ ​overall,”​ ​she​ ​said.​ ​“How​ ​many​ ​professions​ ​ do​ ​you​ ​know​ ​that​ ​have​ ​to know​ ​all​ ​that?”

Teachers​ ​are​ ​not​ ​only​ ​important, Pehrsson said​,​ ​but​ ​ absolutely necessary. ​ Total​ student ​enrollment​ ​in​ ​elementary​ ​and​ ​ secondary​ ​schools​ ​is​ ​expected​ ​to​ ​increase​ ​by​ ​2 percent –​ ​to​ ​56.5​ ​million –​ ​between​ ​2013​ ​and​ ​2025,​ ​according​ ​ to​ ​projections​ ​by​ ​the​ ​National Center​ ​for​ ​Education​ ​ Statistics.​ ​In​ ​21​ ​states,​ ​enrollment​ ​is​ ​projected​ ​to​ ​ increase​ ​by​ ​5​ ​percent​ ​or more.

But​ ​where​ ​there​ ​is​ ​an​ ​increase​ ​of​ ​incoming​ ​students,​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​incoming teachers.​ Nationally,​ ​the​ ​2016​ ​median​ ​annual​ ​wages​ ​for​ ​high​ ​ school​ ​teachers​ ​was​ ​$58,030, according​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Bureau​ ​ of​ ​Labor​ ​Statistics.​ ​In​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​working​ ​regular​ ​ school​ ​hours, teachers​ ​put​ ​in​ ​extra​ ​time​ ​grading​ ​

Along​ ​with​ ​salary,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​other​ ​factors​ ​that​ ​have​ discouraged education majors.

In​ ​2013,​ ​many​ ​students​ ​were​ ​discouraged​ ​from​ ​ beginning​ ​a​ ​pathway​ ​to​ ​teaching​ ​when the​ ​Professional​ ​Readiness​ ​Exam​ ​was​ ​implemented​ ​as​ ​the​ ​basic​ ​ certification​ ​test​ ​for​ ​aspiring teachers.​ ​This​ ​test,​ ​which​ ​ was​ ​considered​ ​much​ ​more​ ​difficult​ ​than​ ​the​ ​previous​ ​ Basic​ ​Skills test,​​ ​had​ only ​a​ ​20 percent​ ​pass​ ​rate​ ​for​ those​ ​ who​ ​took​ ​it.​ ​The​ ​pass​-rate​ ​under​ ​the​ ​Basic​ ​Skills test​ ​was​ ​ 82 percent.

Don't Remove Us Mount Pleasant's Planning Commission failed to see the impact of its rezoning ordinance

M

ount Pleasant's new zoning ordinance does a lot of good — except in one area we believe negatively impacts students.

The ordinance may re-zone Lansing and Franklin streets and University Avenue, south of High Street from multiple-resident to single-family housing. This assumes the area will eventually turn into family residencies.

City officials cite an increase in people searching for affordable housing in Mount Pleasant. But with how residents feel EDITORIAL about students already living there, how many people will want to live in an area predominantly occupied by students.

This ordinance shows Mount Pleasant wants the economic and social benefits students bring, but only when they are relegated to apartments away from town.

The effects may not be immediate and it won't force anyone out of their homes, over time it will hurt students.

As rental houses become nonconforming and landlords have difficulty repairing or renovating their properties, they’ll face the choice to either sell or try year after year to obtain special permits.

As landlords eventually sell their property to families, students seeking housing will have fewer neighborhood options, forcing us into apartment complexes or fighting for the remaining houses on Main Street. This leaves fewer students within walking distance of downtown.

The eventual exodus will be disastrous.

What happens to the stores, restaurants, coffee shops and bars when the student population north of campus declines?

Bar hopping from The Bird Bar & Grill to the Blackstone Bar on Thursdays will become less popular. There will be fewer students lined up inside Dog Central. There might not be as

many students studying in The Coffee Room.

Students walking downtown, wandering into stores or going to Stan’s Saturday morning — they’ll all disappear.

Why would we drive from Jamestown or Copper Beach to do any of those things when we’re living so far away?

Some students have jobs downtown and being able to walk to work is a lifesaver. Saving gas money and not having to rely on a 20-yearold jalopy allows us to afford school or pay for food and rent.

The commission missed many glaring problems and put additional hardships on future students and the local economy.

It’s not only about money.

North of campus is essentially the only place where students can live in Mount Pleasant that’s not a sea of white, characterless apartments.

Residents hate hearing students on weekday nights or having to deal with the occasional party. We don’t like living in apartments three feet from our neighbors, where the walls are paper thin and we have to deal with constant car alarms or couples shouting at 4 a.m.

Sometimes we like the quiet of a neighborhood as much as Mount Pleasant residents.

Sure, we can be loud, obnoxious and, at times, get out of hand. There’s no sugar coating it.

On Welcome Weekends and Homecoming, we’re going to be loud, but to us, there’s so much more to living in those houses.

We can see this, but we don’t understand why the city can’t and feels the need to re-zone this area.

It's a well-intentioned, but misguided answer to a problem we’re not even sure was an issue in the first place.

If the commission wants to Mount Pleasant to grow into a vibrant city, students will always be part of the equation.

Students, as individuals, come and go, but as an entity, we’ll always be here.

We hope the City Commission will reconsider this change and correct it.

OPINION

Newton’s comments reflect the sexism problem in sports journalism “It’s funny to hear a female talk about routes.”

Some online troll didn’t say it.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton said this to Charlotte Observer reporter Jourdan Rodrigue during a press conference.

She asked a straightforward question about wide receiver Devin Funchess and his passing routes.

Rodrigue later tweeted, “I don't think it's 'funny' to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job.”

Newton was rightfully admonished on social media and in the press for his sexist comments, and even though he later gave a public apology, his private conversation with Rodrigue was anything but.

James Paxton Columnist

When Rodrigue confronted Newton after the press conference he did not apologize. He instead questioned her ability to know passing routes.

It’s her job to know. She wouldn’t have her job title if she wasn’t qualified and didn’t understand the game.

How could he have thought it was ok to say those things?

Unfortunately, his comments reflect a larger, more pervasive sexism in sports journalism.

This problem is nothing new.

In 1977, Sports Illustrated writer Mellissa Ludtke was denied access to the locker room during the World Series for being a woman. She sued the Major League Baseball commissioner, Bowie Kuhn, and won.

Her case established equal access for women in MLB locker rooms.

In 1990, former Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Morris said, “I don’t talk to women when I am naked unless they are on top of me.”

In 1990, Lisa Olson, a Boston Herald reporter, was sexually harassed by several players making vulgar comments and gestures in the New England Patriots locker room.

Olson accused Zeke Mowatt, Robert

Perryman and Michael Timpson of sexually harassing her. She sued the team and later settled.

Even though this was considered a watershed moment in sports journalism for women, the problem continues.

Today, it’s not just athletes — it’s the fans too.

Sarah Spain, an ESPN writer, once received a tweet from a male fan saying, “I hope your boyfriend beats you.”

Julie DiCaro from Sports Illustrated once received “I hope you get raped again.”

If I wanted to make note of every time a woman was harassed by fans or players I'd never be able to end this column. The list of examples is staggering.

I know if I received this kind of treatment, I wouldn't continue in

sports journalism.

The incredible thing is, women face it every day and persist.

Their goal is to do a job they love and instead are bashed by athletes and fans because of their gender.

Being verbally harassed based on your gender is awful and there’s no one clear way to fix this problem.

Society needs to change, athletes need to change and even the athletes’ sponsors need to change.

When athletes say something sexist or misogynistic, don’t be so quick to forgive them. Newton humiliated a journalist for asking a question.

His apology means nothing because his comments were never really about knowing routes.

I did nothing for an hour — it was the greatest thing I've done all semester Nothing.

I thought of nothing.

For an hour, there was absolutely no thought in my head.

If you ask my dad he might tell you that’s how I always am. But this time it was different.

A few days ago, I sat at one of the tables in the courtyard of Anspach and Pearce halls and did nothing. I saw the ebb and flow of students as classes started and ended.

I didn’t look at my phone. I didn’t read a book. I didn’t talk to anyone. I didn’t have a single thought.

I sat and listened in silence.

The swell of noise as people rushed through the courtyard to get to their classes and the collapse of sound as I sat alone at the table was striking.

The contrast between the courtyard full of people compared to it being empty was night and day. I

realized after four years here, I was just another person running to class.

I never took time to appreciate the beauty of silence on campus.

I never noticed how the walkways between buildings make no sense in the directions they go. I never took time to look at the trees, the grass and buildings.

Finally taking the time to do nothing may be the most relaxing moment I’ve had at Central Michigan University.

After eight-and-a-half weeks of school, midterms and work, it was surreal how peaceful it was. Honestly, that

hour was like pressing a reset button.

My stress went down. I received a boost of energy. My entire mood changed.

I went from overly pessimistic to feeling I could take on anything.

And that’s exactly what I did. I drove home, did my homework, wrote an entire paper, read a book and made dinner.

Ok, I didn’t make dinner. I ordered food. I’m lazy.

But still, I checked off everything on my to do list for the next two weeks. It felt amazing.

Sometimes stopping and doing nothing is the best thing we can do for ourselves. It’s a great way to slow down and have a moment of peace.

Seriously, this week, put your phone away, sit down and do nothing for as long as you need.

Try to think about nothing — don’t

worry about classes, work or exams.

The constant monotony of waking up and repeating the same thing dayafter-day is draining.

DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT RAISES $2,000 FOR CMU police confiscates more CHILD HEART DEFECT RESEARCH CHARITIES than 126 grams of marijuana

A disc golf tournament hosted by Central Michigan University's Graduate Sports Event Management class raised $2,000 for research on child heart defects on Oct. 22.

The event Harvest Classic for Heart, was created to help raise money for the nonprofit organizations Sawyer’s Light and the Save-A-Heart Foundation.

Sawyer’s Light was created by CMU faculty member Jordan Bruursema and his wife to honor their son Sawyer,

who was born with the heart defect Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. The nonprofit helps families who have children with congenital heart defects.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Save-A-Heart at Mott Children’s Hospital, where Sawyer was treated while he was suffering with the disease.

The event ran from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday and 40 participants. The tournament also had 19 corporate sponsors including Dominos,

AutoZone and Isabella Bank.

Bruursema said he was pleased with the turnout and is certain participants and others in attendance walked away with more knowledge about congenital heart defects.

He said many people messaged him saying they wanted to help out next year now that they are aware of the effects a defect can have on a family and their child.

handled by the Mount Pleasant Police Department and the Central Michigan University Police Department from Oct. 15-22.

OCT. 22 An 18-year-old man was cited for minor in possession of alcohol after officers determined he was intoxicated in Lot 2 around 1:45 a.m., said Lt. Cameron Wassman of the CMUPD. OCT. 21 Officers responded to a suspicious situation after the Robinson Hall director received an anonymous phone call claiming that a resident was selling drugs around 5:30 p.m. CMUPD attempted to match descriptions from the call with a person but failed to do so, Wassman said.

Officers lodged a 22-yearold Mount Pleasant woman for disorderly conduct and marijuana possession. The woman was highly intoxicated and upon patting her down, police found one gram of marijuana, said MPPD Officer Jeff Browne. It took place at Michigan and Mission streets.

OCT. 20 A 19-year-old woman was referred to the Office of Student Conduct after officers confiscated 52 grams of marijuana from her Northwest Apartments room around 5:30 p.m. The woman was not criminally charged because she holds a medical marijuana card, Wassman said.

A 14-year-old was cited for minor in possession and the report was turned over to the Isabella County Prosecutor's Office. Police were dispatched to the 500 block of S. Bradley Street, Browne said.

There were juveniles and a father of a juvenile present. The juveniles were drinking and one was highly intoxicated. The juvenile was taken to the hospital while the others were taken to the MPPD and released to their respective parents.

OCT. 18 An 18-year-old woman was transported to McLaren Central Michigan after she fell on a sidewalk north of the Bovee University Center around 8:45 p.m., Wassman said.

OCT. 17 An 18-year-old woman was referred to the Office of Student Conduct after officers confiscated slightly more than one gram of marijuana from Emmons Hall, Wassman said.

Two 18-year-old men were referred to the Office of Student Conduct after officers confiscated 74 grams of marijuana, 38 vials of THC wax and a small amount of edibles around 3:30 p.m. at a Saxe Hall dorm room. The man possessing the contraband was not criminally charged because he has a medical marijuana card, Wassman said, but it is a violation of CMU policy.

OCT. 16 A football jersey valued at $375 was stolen from a mannequin at the Indoor Athletic Complex. The theft is believed to have occurred Saturday, Oct. 21, Wassman said.

No suspects have been identified.

A 21-year-old woman was

cited for possession and use of marijuana around 11 p.m. outside Northwest Apartments.

Officers were patrolling the area on foot when they approached a suspicious vehicle and determined the woman was smoking THC wax, Wassman said. They confiscated one gram of wax and paraphernalia.

A 26-year-old Mount Pleasant woman was arrested for operating while intoxicated at Main and High streets. Police stopped the vehicle for not coming to a complete stop and traveling at 38 miles per hour in a 25 mile-perhour zone, Browne said. The driver admitted to drinking and had a blood alcohol content of 0.13 following a preliminary breath test.

Officers investigated a retail fraud at the Citgo gas station on Pickard Road. Officers were dispatched to the scene 45 minutes after the incident took place, Browne said. There was about $10 worth of items taken, including band-aids and cold medicine. Police identified a suspect, a 30-yearold Mount Pleasant woman, who offered to pay for the items. She did not confirm nor deny taking the items but offered to pay for them. A report was forwarded to the Isabella County Prosecutor's Office for charges, Browne said.

OCT. 15 A 25-year-old Mount Pleasant man was arrested for disorderly conduct at the 1000 block of East Crosslanes Street. The highly intoxicated subject was wandering through lawns, yelling and pounding on a door trying to gain entry, Browne said. The man produced a blood alcohol content of 0.295.

Cody Scanlan | Staff Photographer From left to right Scott Hawken, Liesl Clark, Teresa Hatcher and Tom Rohrer speak about ways renewable energy can benefit Michigan Communities on Oct. 24 in Anspach Hall.

Panel discusses economic benefits of renewable energy

By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

A renewable energy advocate stressed the importance of reducing energy use whenever possible during “The 21st Century ‘Clean Energy’ Economy: Crossing Boundaries” panel.

About 30 students, faculty and community members gathered in Anspach Hall Oct. 24 to learn about the economic and environmental effects of renewable energy.

The College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences hosted a panel discussion featuring three professionals within the energy sector of Michigan: • Scott Hawken, director of project development at Apex Clean Energy • Liesl Clark, president of the Michigan Energy Innovation Business Council • Teresa Hatcher, director of renewable energy at CMS Energy.

The discussion was moderated by Tom Rohrer, director of Central Michigan University’s Great Lakes Institute for Sustainable Systems.

The panelists described work they are doing in Michigan’s energy sector and shared future plans within the industry.

Apex Clean Energy sells wind turbines and solar panels to large-scale consumers, Hawken said. Some concerns about the dangers wind turbines pose to birds and bats, and the danger to residents’ hearing.

Hawken said Apex works closely with researchers to learn the impact wind turbines have on residents and wildlife in the areas it has developed or plans to develop.

He said researchers for Apex conduct wildlife surveys in areas it wants to place turbines. If there is

a high population of birds, Apex typically chooses to build turbines elsewhere. He explained that there are no peer-reviewed studies proving wind turbines have any negative impacts on human health.

Clark is a partner of 5 Lakes Energy, a clean energy consulting firm that works to make energy sources, like wind and solar energy, more available and affordable to consumers.

By using wind and solar energy, communities can provide enough energy for all residents and save money on operation costs, Clark said.

She added communities can benefit from stable electricity prices and can sell excess energy to make a profit and provide more services for residents.

Hatcher is an engineer who works for CMS Energy, a company that provides gas and electricity to 6.7 million Michigan residents. She said CMS is working to make 15 percent of the energy it produces come from renewable energy sources by 2021 to comply with the Michigan renewable portfolio standard.

While Hatcher is an advocate for renewable energy sources, she said it’s best to reduce energy use whenever possible.

After the discussion, audience members had the opportunity to speak with the panelists individually.

Holt sophomore Kyle DeLong took an interest in renewable energy after conducting research regarding clean energy for one of his classes.

As a meteorology major, DeLong wanted to know what opportunities CMS Energy has for meteorology students. He said theirs an added benefit of talking to Hatcher.

“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” he said.

Audience members were encouraged to talk to their legislators about developing more renewable energy sources and sponsoring legislation that encourages renewable energy.

CHIPPEWA HOCKEY NETWORK DEVELOPS EN

B

eing in the middle of the crowd at a Central Michigan University hockey game is like being in an audience watching its favorite rock band.

The Oct. 8 home opener for the Division II men’s team against Lawrence Tech was so loud, it made it difficult to hear the person next to you.

That game was at noon on a Sunday.

CMU is home to three hockey teams: Division II men’s hockey, Division III men’s hockey and women’s club hockey.

With no NCAA Division I team on campus, one would think hockey would be an afterthought in Mount Pleasant. It’s anything but.

The Isabella County Events Arena is packed with hockey fans for each team — no matter the time, day or matchup.

“Division III hockey is packed for most home games and is still growing,” said sophomore Ashley Kaplin, reporter for Chippewa Hockey Network. “It is amazing seeing how many people come to the games. I love seeing new people come and seeing the regulars.”

Fans have been dedicated to the sport, even when Division II hockey was unable to participate in the 2015-16 season due to lack of players.

While the hockey teams don’t receive the notoriety of a Division I program, they have one thing most schools and teams don’t.

That’s where the Chippewa Hockey Network comes in.

STARTING OUT “We quit our jobs, drained our bank accounts, just so we could start something for a club hockey team,” said Chippewa Hockey Network co-founder Shawn Bednard. “My mom likes to remind me I did that all the time.”

Bednard and Tyler Marcotte started the Chippewa Hockey Network in 2015. The two friends started covering the Division III hockey team and added the Division II and women’s teams shortly after.

Now with a full broadcast team, they are able to

Ariana Strzalka | Photo Editor Junior Shawn Bednard, left and senior Tyler Marcotte pose for a picture on Oct. 19 in the Isabella County Events Arena.

cover one of the three teams on the road and another at home in Mount Pleasant during the season.

Bednard, a broadcast and cinematic arts major and media sales minor, grew up in Flint and attended Davison High School.

When the semi-professional Plymouth Whalers, from the Ontario Hockey League, moved to Flint in 2014, Bednard did everything he could to be involved with the broadcasting team. However, the team said he lacked experience.

He attempted to do a hockey radio show for Central Michigan’s radio station — 101.1 The Beat.

His application was denied, due to not fitting the station’s format at the time. Bednard finally found success when he applied to become the Division III team’s public address announcer.

He earned the job, but was craving more.

Bednard met Marcotte, a former hockey player from Northville. Marcotte played hockey at a young age and continued through high school.

With dreams of being a broadcaster, he started as

a hockey reporter for Sports Central, a programming opportunity from Moore Hall Television that offers students a chance to cover CMU sports as a reporter, anchor or cameraman. During his sophomore year, however, he wanted to broadcast the games himself.

Bednard and Marcotte worked with the athletic department before going for hockey.

After the two met and started talking, the idea suddenly came to them.

“I knew Tyler wanted to do video and I was looking for anyway to start broadcasting hockey games,” Bednard said. “So I thought, ‘why don’t we do something more.’”

After starting out with only video highlights, the duo added audio and slowly produced a fullfunctioning network.

BUILDING A BRAND Chippewa Hockey Network started as a two-man show in 2015. It has grown every season since.

The network now has 14 crew members, who each work around class and work to chip in.

“After us, it quickly changed from ‘do we have a hockey team’ to ‘when does the hockey team play,” Bednard said. “The moment I realized how big we were was the season opener against Hope College last season. The stands were packed and people were around the glass watching.”

After the season opener, Bednard looked back in awe of the growth that has happened in just a few years.

“After the game I realized this is what all the hard work and sleepless nights are about,” he said.

“That’s when I realized we were helping promote Central Michigan hockey. We got the word out of this brand of hockey.”

For Marcotte, he felt the change during his sophomore year. It had nothing to do with what happened on the ice or popularity, but making a difference.

The network held a fundraiser for a player in the league. The player “shattered mutiple vertebras” in his back after an accident on the ice in Flint. The neworked raised $1,500 for his recovery.

“It was really cool seeing the impact we were able to make,” Marcotte said.

All three hockey programs have benefited from Chippewa Hockey Network’s creation two years ago, said former Division III coach Tyler Cataline, who expressed his gratitude to the Chippewa Hockey Network.

“More people started to realize who we were as a program because of them,” he said.

Bednard and Marcotte both dream of longevity for the network. The two graduate in May and will hand over their network to the next pair of students.

Senior Jake Piper and junior Nick Dallesandro will take over the network next fall. Piper has been the assistant director of video since Chippewa Hockey Network started. Dallesandro has worked as the assistant director of media content.

Both have a goal of working in professional hockey later in life — Bednard as a broadcaster and Marcotte behind the scenes.

“We do not call this a club sport,” Bednard said. “We treat this like our jobs.”

Father and daughter duo work together to coach hockey teams

Most athletes play sports as a child because their parents want them to. Some play because they are good.

Some play because they love it.

Brittany Knopp was a product of these factors as a kid. She was great at hockey and was happy to tie up her skates and enter the rink.

Brittany is now the head coach of the Central Michigan University women’s club team.

She also works as an assistant coach for the CMU Division II men's team.

She has a particularly close relationship with the men's coach: her father, Brian Knopp.

Brian has been the head coach of the DII team for the past four years. He needed an assistant coach last season and decided his daughter was the best fit for the job.

Brittany started playing hockey at 5 with her parent's help. The Knopp family played

hockey, including Brittany, her father, her mother, her brother and her older sister.

Brittany and her siblings still play in adult leagues.

Brian has coached all of his kids at hockey, but coached Brittany all the way up to college. She played at Findlandia University and picked up coaching after graduation.

For Brittany, it was not just what her dad taught her on the ice that she remembers, but the lessons off of it.

“My dad has taught me dedication," she said. "In life if you really want something, it will not be easy so you have to try your hardest to go get it and he showed me to stand up for what I believe in and go for your dreams.”

One moment Brittany will never forget while playing hockey for her dad was at a tournament in Canada. She was recognized by a scout at age 14.

Brian was speechless and had no idea at the time that his daughter was being re-

cruited nationally.

Brian is happy to have his daughter by his side and is proud of her accomplishments.

In the first home game against Lawrence Tech University this season, Brittany was at an away game with the girls’ team and was unable to be with her dad for the men’s game.

Brian couldn't find the practice pucks for his team to start warming up with before the game. He was forced to call his daughter and she let him know where they would be.

“She would have had the pucks sitting there ready to go if she was here,” Brian said.

The father and daughter have a main goal of uniting CMU hockey and taking the programs to new heights.

While they both coach two different teams, they continue to learn different techniques about hockey that they can share together. “(When) both teams are playing at the same time and I am unable to be with him, all I do is worry," Brittany said.

Student discusses anxiety disorder, talks self-care

By Avery Jennings Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

With a pre-existing anxiety disorder, Hayley Dymond feared the unknown when she decided to attend Central Michigan, even when both her parents and older sister graduated from here.

Now a junior, Dymond is majoring in psychology, she’s a leader advancement scholar and is the president of the registered student organization A Letter For Better. Living life to the motto “Be Patient,” Dymond is doing her best to stay on top of hectic school and personal commitments.

Q&A

because I didn’t get any sleep the night before be-

I target my thoughts that I’m having and recognize that I’m having these negative thoughts and try and rationalize with myself. Deep breathing and meditation are also really helpful when I am feeling anxious.

Tell me about your first day here. What was it like?

The first day was very scary. I was really tired

Has that always been a fear of yours?

(Yes,) since middle school. I was giving a presentation and my body just stopped working and then I got nervous, hot, couldn’t speak, sweating and so I think after that it started to go downhill from there.

That was in eighth grade. I just remember being frozen and it was terrible.

Finish this sentence: when I looked in the mirror this morning, I saw ____?

I just saw the morning version of me: sleepy

Tell me about your morning. Do you have a routine?

For the most part. I always start with coffee because I have to. Today was a few hours late, but I still have to have it. I always try and get a good breakfast in, I usually go on my phone and do all that stuff. I never work out or do any exercise in

When did that start?

I’ve always had an anxious disposition about myself. I’ve always worried a lot about everything. But it got really bad last year in my sophomore year.

What did you do to change it?

I started trying to go to therapy and possibly get medication for it and do more research and educate myself on it and see if there are other people that have gone through the same thing I have. I also did a lot of self-improvement over the summer. I still struggle with it every day, but it’s something I’m learning to manage.

the morning. That’s for later in the day.

Did you ever expect your college life to happen the way it did?

I don’t even know like five years ago, I didn’t even think about college life. I just had no idea what college life even looked like.

CM Life: What’s the biggest struggle or fear you’ve had to overcome?

That is a loaded question. It’s probably my anxiety disorder — overcoming that has been quite the journey.

Would you mind talking about it?

(My anxiety disorder) is why I’m going into psychology, so— I love talking about it.

In January of last year, I started getting panic attacks all the time and that was extremely hard.

When second semester started I would go to class and just have a panic attack right there and it was really hard just to get up and go to class like a normal student.

That’s the main reason why I’m here, to be a student, and I couldn’t even go to class.

cause I was nervous and was seeing all my friends before I left. It was just a long exhausting day and then going to Leadership Safari – it was just a very long and hard time.

So how did you deal with it?

I let myself go home a lot. I just needed my home at that time and normalcy. And then I just forced myself to go out of my comfort zone and see what CMU had to offer and see what I could get involved in and to make it feel like home here.

Tell me about something that makes you nervous?

Public speaking, definitely. It’s always been kind of difficult for me. It’s like stage fright, but it’s re-

Would you say you have any life philosophies, or words you live by?

Good things come to those who wait. That’s always been my thing. Just being patient, really. I have this bracelet on my wrist that says, “Be Patient” so just being patient with yourself and others.

Is that something your parents taught you, or something you saw on Pinterest, or what was it?

It’s just something I developed over time. I’ve always been a patient person, but sometimes I just get way into my head and wish that things were happening, or not happening, especially with anxiety. It’s just about being patient with my body and my progress.

Senior defensive lineman Joe Ostman poses for a portrait on Oct. 25 at the Indoor Athletic Complex.

Ostman leads defense into Western game as nation’s sack leader

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

A season ago, defensive end Joe Ostman finished second in the Mid-American Conference and 34th nationally with nine sacks.

Through eight games this season, the senior not only leads the MAC, but also leads the entire Football Bowl Subdivision with 10 total sacks on the year.

“I just keep working hard and preparing the same way,” Ostman said. “The more experience you get obviously helps along the way, but it just comes down to playing hard. I’ve been doing that since I got here.”

“Hard work” has earned the St. Ignace native this weeks MAC West Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second time in his career.

The national attention hasn’t put any additional pressure on Ostman’s shoulders, he said.

Instead, Ostman has taken it as a blessing and gives credit to his teammates.

“The guys around me push me every day on defense and I’m just thankful to have them,” Ostman said. “It’s a credit to them for their hard work and our hard work as a team.”

In Saturday’s 56-9 win at Ball State, the Chippewas recorded a season-high eight sacks.

Ostman tallied a season-high four himself.

The four sacks totaled a loss of 18 yards and he added five more tackles in the game. On the season, Ostman is fifth on the team with 45 total tackles.

Head coach John Bonamego believes Ostman’s performance against the Cardinals was “clearly outstanding” and is fully deserving of receiving all the recent recognition. "(Ostman) is the leader of our team and is a model of what we want on the field and in the classroom,” Bonamego said. “He’s earned everything he has gotten.

“He personifies what CMU football is really all about.”

As far as getting to the quarterback and finding a technique to rush them, Ostman said it is all about beating the guy who is blocking him.

“A lot of times I know what move I am going to do before the play or how I’m going to try and beat him,” Ostman said. “It’s kind of a game within the game — do one move one play and that sets (the offensive lineman) up for what move you can do the next play. I always try to mix it up.”

The likely candidate at quarterback that Ostman and the Chippewa defense will be facing on Nov. 1 for their rival Western Michigan is true freshman Reece Goddard.

Goddard will likely fill in for redshirt sophomore Jon Wassink, who broke his collarbone against Eastern Michigan last Saturday and will miss six-to-eight weeks.

While Goddard has only attempted three passes in his collegiate career, Ostman acknowledges it will be a blow for the Broncos.

He said it doesn’t change how CMU’s defense prepares for the rivalry.

“We know what (WMU) does well and that is running the ball,” Ostman said. “They have a very good offensive line and losing their quarterback doesn’t take away from that. We will continue prepare for them and be ready for next Wednesday.”

CMU takes on Western Michigan at 8 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 1, at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo. The Chippewas will try to avenge last seasons 49-10 loss to the Broncos.

Ostman described it as “the most important game on their schedule” and a huge rivalry.

“They have gotten us the past couple of years and were excited to go back to Waldo Stadium,” Ostman said. “We have business left that needs to be taken care of.”

Wrestling returns with annual intrasquad meet

By Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

After a 9-3 finish last season, No. 17 ranked Central Michigan wrestling kicks off its 2017-18 season at 7 p.m. Friday at McGuirk Arena for its annual intrasquad meet.

The meet will feature the return of seven CMU starters from 201617 — five of which are ranked in the top 20 of their respective weight classes, according to InterMat, a college wrestling database that ranks athletes in each weight class.

Junior Justin Oliver is ranked

No. 6 in the 149-pound weight class. He is the highest ranked Chippewa on InterMat. Senior Jordan Ellingwood (184) will start the season ranked No. 9.

Seniors CJ Brucki (174) and Colin Heffernan (157) are each ranked No. 12 in their respective weight classes.

Sophomore Mason Smith starts the season ranked No. 20 in the 141-pound weight class.

The battle for the starting role at the 125-pound weight class is open after Brent Fleetwood transferred to North Dakota State in the offseason. Redshirt freshmen Drew Hildebrant and Deven Perez are

two possible candidates to replace Fleetwood, who compiled a 22-12 record last season.

Senior Corey Keener (133) transferred to top-ranked Penn State after being granted another year of eligibility due to injury.

Redshirt freshmen Dresden Simon and Jonathan Martin are likely candidates to replace the No. 15 ranked wrestler in the 133-pound weight class.

After New Lothrop native Austin Severn graduated last winter, the title of starter at 197 pounds is also available. Redshirt freshman Landon Pelham is the expected replacement to fill Severn’s spot.

Volleyball looks to improve MAC standing against Ball State at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27 in Muncie, Indiana.

“They’ve been a group that has fought, clawed, bounced back, and been really resilient," McGahey said. It’s a group that will leave a legacy that will be more powerful than the season.”

SCOUTING REPORT Eastern Michigan’s playoff hopes are on the line Thursday, as the team needs to win in order to have a shot at the MAC Tournament.

If the Eagles can earn a victory over the Chippewas, they would enter the postseason with a Western Michigan or Ohio loss.

“For them, it’s a playoff game,” McGahey said. “Our responsibility, respect for the game and pride for CMU is we have to go out and compete.

After a transition season, the Central Michigan cross country team prepares for the MidAmerican Conference Championships on Saturday, Oct. 28.

Players and coaches describe the 2017-18 season as transitional because included changes in leadership and coaching from 2016-17.

Both the men's and women's teams will bring nine runners each to the meet in Miami, Ohio.

Each team was forced to cut one runner from the 10-athlete squads they took to Pre-Nationals two weeks ago.

At last year’s MAC Championships, the women finished in fourth place, while the men placed seventh.

The men’s 8K will begin at 11 a.m. and the women’s 6K starts at noon.

MEN’S TEAM With a young team comprising mostly freshmen and sophomores, men’s coach Matt Kaczor knows this season is a stepping

stone for years to come.

“We have a lot of younger talent — more than we’ve probably had in years,” Kaczor said. “We’ve been ranked regionally for a few weeks now, so I think MACs will be a time to show we’re legit.”

Freshman Logan Kleam has been the men’s top runner. His top time this season came at Pre-Nationals, leading the Chippewas with a time of 24:33.5.

“All I can do for myself is push to get my best time yet,” Kleam said, “but I’ve also got to push my teammates to do their best over these next few days.”

Kaczor has given high praise to Kleam, but recognizes CMU's top runner is irrelevant if their back runners can’t close the gap between the two.

“We’ve got some depth this season,” Kaczor said. “But a lot of these kids have never run a championship meet before. We all just have to keep focused as Saturday approaches.”

Two others ran under 25 minutes this season — sophomores Mark Beckmann and Luke Anderson.

Beckmann’s finish at PreNationals (24:59.2) marked the

best of his career – better than his 34th place finish at the 2016 MAC Championships (25:54.7).

Anderson’s top time this season (24:58.5) was also the best of his career, half a minute faster than his 23rd place finish at last year’s MAC (25:33.7).

WOMEN’S TEAM The women’s team thrived this season while avoiding transitions with a new coach and top runner.

Director of CMU track and field/cross country Jenny Sweiton was hired late this summer, but has already established great rapport with the team.

Senior Taylor Aguillon has led the team in most meets. Her top 6K time this season was at Pre-Nationals (21:03.8). It was also the best time for any female runner this season.

Right on her heels this season has been junior veteran Megan O’Neil with a top time of 21:20.8.

O’Neil was described by Sweiton as a “blessing” for her leadership abilities. She took ninth in last season’s MAC Championships, running a career-best 21:19.9.
