REORGANIZATION FORUM TO TAKE PLACE FRIDAY IN PARK LIBRARY AUDITORIUM

Quinn Kirby | Staff Photographer Lesley Withers, director of the presentation skills center, explains the variety of classes available that will teach speaking skills to students on Oct. 2 in Charles V. Park Library room 319C.

Presentation Skills Center to promote public speaking in students

By Corey Micho Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The Presentation Skills Center officially opened Monday, Oct. 2 in the Charles V. Park Library.

The center operates from 3-8 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday.

The center is a place where students can receive help from staff in creating a speech, presentation or pitch, said director and communications professor Leslie Withers.

“One of the most common fears people have is public speaking,” Withers said. “We hope to help reduce the anxiety involved and provide constructive feedback.”

Staff members talk with students about where they are in the presentation process. They then look at what can be done within the allotted time and determine the next step based on what was covered.

“Some of the things we do is listen to speeches, provide topic ideas and help find supporting research,” Withers said.

Students can also record their speeches for use at the center or at home.

The 30-minute appointments are scheduled by students online or via phone at (989) 774-1361.

Walk-ins are also allowed if there are no existing appointments. Off-campus appointments are also

available through Skype and WebEx. “The idea for the center has been talked about for several years, but it had not been a sure thing until a year-and-a-half ago,” Withers said.

After a soft open Sept. 19, Withers says that the turnout was good, with 16 students coming to the center for help.

It was possible to put the center in the library due to the third floor being used primarily for non-library support centers, according to Associate Library Dean Kathy Irwin. Other centers on that floor include the math and writing centers.

A committee was formed to bring the center to life. Withers, as well as other staff and faculty within the communications department, met throughout Summer and Fall 2016.

Kirsten Weber, communications faculty member and member of the committee, said they developed the framework and dealt with the logistics of its formation, including a proposal to the university. Once the proposal was approved, the university gave the Department of Communication and Dramatic Arts the funding it needed.

Dean of Libraries Jeff Luzius is considering expanding the center, depending on the continued turnout.

“Right now, the (center) is viewed as a pilot project,” Luzius said. “Once we have an idea about usage we can determine future space needs.”

Ian Davison, senior vice provost of the academic reorganization initiative, will give a presentation followed by a Q&A session at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6, in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium.

The reorganization initiative was announced it was added to the updated academic strategic plan in August. The initiative will review and restructure Central Michigan University’s administrative and academic structure.

The review is said to be completed in four months.

Davison said the presentation will be the

same one he gave to the Academic Senate on Sept. 26 regarding the review process for academic restructuring. The presentation is available to view on the Academic Senate website.

“The presentation will explain the rationale for the review, the scope and how it will be conducted,” Davison said.

He said the purpose of the forum is to give students, faculty and staff a chance to understand the review process and to ask any questions they may have.

The event is open to

faculty, staff and students.

Davison was appointed the position as senior vice provost by President George Ross and Provost Michael Gealt because of his experience with combining CMU’s Office of Research and College of Graduate Studies in 2014. Davison’s role is to oversee three committees to understand how CMU compares to other universities and how to improve academics to give students the best education possible.

DEA AGENTS PORTRAYED ON NETFLIX SERIES ‘NARCOS’ TO SPEAK ON CAMPUS OCT. 17 Steve Murphy and Javier Pena, the Drug Enforcement Administration agents who helped capture Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, are scheduled to speak at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 17 in Plachta Auditorium.

The two are portrayed on the Netflix original series “Narcos.”

The lecture is presented by Central Michigan University’s Program Board and is free and open to the public.

Florida senior Elizabeth ReynaHernandez, Program Board’s lecture director, said Murphy and Pena will talk about their experience working for the DEA. She came up with the idea for this event over the summer when thinking about some of her favorite things. She loves Netflix and thought other students would also be interested in an event related to a popular Netflix series.

“Netflix is something I really like so

I went through the shows I watched and ‘Narcos’ was on that list,” ReynaHernandez said. “I did some research and found out Steve and Javier do lectures so I thought it would be something CMU students would like to hear about.”

“Narcos” is a drama series that tells the story of Colombia’s drug cartels. The first two seasons of the series focuses on telling the story of Escobar. The third season, which premiered Sept. 1, focuses on the Cali Cartel — a group based around the city of Cali, Colombia that reached its height after Escobar’s death.

Reyna-Hernandez said there will be a meet and greet after the lecture. Details for the meet and greet will be announced on Program Board’s social media accounts once they are finalized.

Shooting suspect arraigned on murder, robbery charges

By Evan Sasiela Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

A man thought to have broken into a home and shot a woman on the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Reservation has been found following a tip sent to the Sheriff ’s Office.

Kenneth Maddux was taken into custody Sunday, Oct. 1, said Isabella County Sheriff Michael Main. He was hiding out in a mobile home that doubled as a meth lab.

Maddux was arraigned Monday in Isabella County Court. He has been charged with assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, home invasion-first degree, weapons-firearmspossession by felon, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and weapons-felony firearm.

Maddux was found around 7:50 p.m. Sunday at 1900 S. Chippewa Road in Chippewa Township. A meth lab was also discovered at the location.

Law enforcement created a perimeter around the location and marked patrol units and emergency service members approached the mobile home. Officers were able to call out to the mobile home’s occupants.

A man confirmed to authorities Maddux was in the residence, Main said. Tactical team members entered the mobile home and took

Maddux into custody without issue.

The man who owned/rented the trailer was taken into custody for maintaining a drug house, following the discovery of the meth lab. The homeowner’s name has not been released by police.

Detectives are speaking with Maddux about the home invasion and shooting, Main said.

The incident is still under investigation.

Maddux was listed as a person of interest in a Sept. 27 shooting in a residence on the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Reservation. It took place at a home near Loomis and Baseline roads in Isabella County, according to the Sheriff ’s Office.

Police searched for Maddux near the Midland and Isabella county lines south of M-20.

Buildings on the reservation were on lockdown until 11 a.m. Sept. 27, according to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s Facebook page.

The woman was airlifted to Midland and was in fair condition as of Sept. 28, Main said.

Isabella County Central Dispatch, Isabella County Emergency Services Team, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police, the Mount Pleasant Police Department and Michigan State Police assisted the Isabella County Sheriff ’s Office in locating Maddux.

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT INFORMATIONAL MEETING TO BE HELD MONDAY IN LIBRARY For those interested in marching in support of survivors of sexual violence, a Take Back the Night march is scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19.

The march will begin outside of the Charles V. Park Library and will be followed by a Survivor Speak Out in room 221 of the Bovee University Center.

A meeting about the march will be held at 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 9 in Anspach Hall room 256.

The march is coordinated by registered student organizations Students Advocating Gender Equality (SAGE) and Transcend, an RSO that aims to build community among transgender and gender

non-conforming people.

Take Back the Night is an international event, with hundreds of events held annually. The idea of “taking back the night” is about asserting the right to take up space and be out at night though many people — particularly women — are told they should be afraid of walking alone at night, said Midland senior Cali Winslow, president of SAGE. The march route and safety protocol will be discussed at Monday’s meeting. Leadership roles will also be assigned. People who are interested in buying Take Back the Night t-shirts can order and pay for them at the meeting

or by contacting SAGE on Facebook.

The shirts will be distributed on the night of the event. The t-shirts will be white so if people who don’t buy t-shirts want to match the group, they can wear white to the march, Winslow said. “(The event is) important to show there is support for survivors,” Winslow said.

“At the Speak Out, we’ll have people tabling about different resources. It’s a really good way for people to feel empowered and also connected to what they need to help them on campus.”

CRIME LOG: Fake parking passes, naked man hops into wrong bed

By Evan Sasiela Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

The following incidents were handled by the Central Michigan University Police Department from Sept. 23-Oct. 2. Mount Pleasant Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Browne was not available for comment this week.

OCT. 2 An unsecured bicycle was taken at Northwest Apartments. CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman said the incident is thought to have occurred Oct. 1. The value of the 19-year-old woman’s bicycle is about $100.

CMUPD responded to a complaint of loud, offensive music being played in Saxe Hall. After hall staff’s request for the music to be turned down was not answered, CMUPD intervened, Wassman said. The music was eventually turned down.

OCT. 1 A burglary without force was reported in Herrig

Hall. Wassman said CMUPD received a call about someone undressing and climbing into what he thought was his roommate’s unoccupied bed. He was intoxicated, Wassman said, and was in a room that was not his. The 19-year-old man was arrested.

SEPT. 30 People were throwing rocks at a car in the drive-thru at the McDonald’s on Mission Street.

Wassman said there are no suspects.

SEPT. 28 A 19-year-old man reported damaged to his bicycle near Celani Hall. Wassman the incident may have occurred between Sept. 22-25. The rear brakes and cable lock were damaged at an estimated $50.

Parking Enforcement staff found a fraudulent parking pass at Northwest Apartments. Contact was made with a 19-year-old man and the incident was turned over to the Office of Student Conduct, Wassman said.

An 18-year-old woman was the recipient of a mail delivery package that smelled like marijuana in Beddow Hall. Wassman said hall staff observed the odor

of marijuana in a package and the Michigan State Police drug dog was called. Edibles and approximately 2-3 ¼ grams of marijuana were found. Information was sent to the Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney and Office of Student Conduct. Wassman had no information on who sent out the package.

A decorative license plate was taken from a vehicle parked in lot 63. Wassman said the incident could have occurred as early as Sept. 24 but was reported on Sept. 28. The value of the plate is $10 and the car was owned by an 18-year-old man.

SEPT. 27 An 18-year-old woman had a fraudulent parking pass created for her, Wassman said. Her vehicle was parked in lot 40. Wassman said the woman’s brother made her the fraudulent pass. The incident was turned over to the Office of Student Conduct.

SEPT. 26 A damage of a bicycle Sept. 23 outside of Calkins Hall was reported to the CMUPD. Wassman said the fender and seat on the bike of an 18-year-old woman

were damaged at an estimated $50.

Two 19-year-old men, two 19-year-old women and one 20-year-old man were caught with marijuana in Northwest Apartments. Staff observed the odor of marijuana and contacted CMUPD, Wassman said.

Police confiscated a couple of fake IDs, alcohol and two grams of suspected marijuana. The incident was turned over to the Office of Student Conduct.

SEPT. 25 Several people were seen entering the wooded area near lot 22 just before midnight, Wassman said. Officers observed the odor of marijuana and some of the people were drinking alcohol. A 20-year-old man was arrested for disorderly conduct.

SEPT. 23 CMUPD documented an estimated 75 people who passed out due to hot temperatures during the CMU football game against Miami (Ohio).

Wassman said some cooling rooms were set up to help treat them. “Thankfully there was nothing serious to come out of it,” Wassman said.

Make your voice heard CMU academic restructuring starts 2017, make sure the administration hears your views

Brooklin White | Freelance Photographer President George Ross, left, and William Weideman, right, listening to the speaker answer a question at the Board of Trustees meeting on Sept. 20th in the President’s Conference Room in the Bovee University Center.

T

wenty years ago, Central Michigan University reviewed and reorganized the academic structure of our university. It resulted in one new academic college. This year, another reorganization effort was announced. It was met with some push back, to say the least.

CMU faculty and students expressed concerns and disappointment over the way it was announced, feeling they were not given any warning.

This feeling is understandable. With an undertaking like this, many are unsure about what this means for their jobs and areas of study.

For anyone who feels the same way: now is the time to speak out.

At 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 6, in the Park Library Auditorium, the Academic Organizational Structure Review Open Forum is scheduled. It is a

way for anyone concerned to offer their grievances, complaints or suggestions.

President George Ross promised there would be a chance for public comments.

This is it. Take advantage of this opportunity.

Senior Vice Provost for Academic Reorganization Initiative Ian Davison is leading the review and reorganization process. The goal for the process to be finished in an aggressive and achievable time frame.

Davison expects the review to be completed and the recommendations approved by the Board of Trustees in spring of the 2018-2019 academic year.

The implementation of the approved recommendations will take place during 2018-2019.

This process is part of the Academic Strategic Plan, the Board of Trustees adopted in

June 2017. Three committees, Departmental and College Organization, Academic Support and Responsibility-Centered Management (RCM) will be created with students and faculty chairing them.

The purpose of this is to review CMU’s academic and administrative structure; modify undergraduate degrees to reduce the credits required for graduation from 124 to 120; and strengthen business and community ties.

If you’re a freshman and are unsure about what this might mean for your degree, be there. If you’re

a faculty member and want to ask questions about how this will affect your department, be there.

“The entire CMU community will be engaged as an invaluable source of ideas and suggestions and to provide comments and feedback on recommendations”, Davison said.

For anyone who cannot make it Friday at 2:30 p.m., there is a way to make suggestions and comments. Go online to the strategic planning Cmich page: www.cmich.edu/about/Strategic_Planning/ organizationalreview/Pages/input-form.aspx.

This process is ongoing until 2022, but this year is when you have the most say.

Ross promised transparency and this open forum is it.

We hope that anyone who can attend does.

OPINION

A crisis we should not be forgetting, a crisis we should not be avoiding No one likes losing a friend. Drifting further and further away from a friend is difficult.

It’s not an easy thing to come to terms with.

The greatest challenge is preparing for the inevitable day you delete their phone number, say goodbye and then move on.

Sadly, this is what one too many people do every day. Just like I did.

I watched for three years as prescription drugs slowly took a high school friend.

One of the last things he said to me was, “Do you think I’m going to be one of those numbers? Yeah. Well, I do. Maybe it’s not too bad being one.

Wouldn’t it be funny?”

Unfortunately I knew exactly which numbers he meant.

The deaths attributed to prescription opiate abuse.

Now, every time I see them, I do.

Elio Stante

Opinion Editor

When I read the U.S. Health and Human Services opioid epidemic fact sheet, it said, “Our nation is in the midst of an unprecedented opioid epidemic.”

It shook me.

We are in the middle of an epidemic that’s destroying lives and communities, but no one seems to care.

We let our politicians get away with doing nothing. They use people’s suffering and pleas for help to get them elected, then they don’t do anything.

President Donald Trump promised to fight the opioid epidemic and during his first months in office. He has done nothing to combat the problem.

His commission, created to find ways

to combat the opioid epidemic, recommended declaring a national emergency and focus the federal government on rehabilitating users, not enforcing drug laws.

The Trump administration decided it was unnecessary to declare a national emergency and has advocated for stricter enforcement of drug laws, not rehabilitation treatment.

Trump is not the only one to blame.

Democrats in the Senate, specifically Claire McCaskill, Maggie Hassan and Ron Wyden, made it a point to bring up the opioid epidemic during the 2016 campaign. They also made comments about how to fight the epidemic in the first months of 2017, but have done almost nothing in response.

We don’t hold them accountable.

We don’t hold ourselves accountable.

We look at opioid users like they’re criminals. We excuse ourselves from caring about them. It’s become accept-

able to not care about someone because they have an addiction they have no control over.

We can’t let this become the norm.

We need to force our government to do more.

We need to take care of those around us, and recognize when someone needs help.

If you or someone you know needs help, please call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s 24/7, 365 helpline at 1-800662-4357 for referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations.

I don’t want to lose another friend.

Neither should you.

Trump, conservative shift narrative from social injustice to ‘respect for our country’ The president and other conservative voices have consistently, and effectively, distracted the public from the point of kneeling during the national anthem. From the start of this movement a clear effort has been made to discredit the message it has been promoting—the fight against racial injustice.

By making this an issue about the troops, respect for the flag or the National Anthem, Trump and those like him have given the American people an “out” to ignore what players, like Colin Kaepernick, have been trying to say.

They shifted the narrative so much that Shepard Smith, a Fox News host, even had to remind viewers kneeling

players were not attacking the flag.

The importance of stressing this point is monumental because it’s the easiest way for Trump to create a new narrative. It’s a way for him to make this his own, by making it about patriotic disrespect and how players should be fired.

“The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our country, flag and national

anthem,” Trump tweeted on Sept. 25.

He ignored the fact that kneeling has everything to do with race.

Race relations and racial injustice were always the point of Kaepernick’s protest.

Eric Reid, Kaepernick’s former teammate on the San Francisco 49ers, said the two decided to kneel, instead of sitting, after talking to a retired Green Beret. They made a change to be more respectful, not less. They made a point of respecting the wishes of a former special forces member.

That fact always gets conveniently forgotten and this is not the only way people are trying to discredit this peaceful protest.

One method being used to dis-

credit the efforts of athletes to bring attention of social issues is by saying they are out of touch with the average American.

Tomi Lahren, a popular conservative commentator is an example of this method, tweeting, “How dare Trump disrespect those poor NFL underdogs making millions to throw a ball!”

Being an athlete does not remove you from racial injustice. LeBron James, for example, although not in the NFL, was born to a teenage mother and grew up without a father.

His wealth and success didn’t prevent someone from spray painting a racial slur on his garage in May. It is vital that Americans, whether

It is the responsibility of the news media and of prominent American figures to reinforce this clarity. They cannot allow the president, and others like him, to shift the narrative and change the purpose of these peaceful, respectful protests.

One day people can get past their suppositions and bias to understand why players would be willing to protest in this fashion. It’s my hope that people who have never and will never have to experience the injustice and prejudice that others have to live with begin to gain some understanding.

What's Up Doc' ?

We catch up with College of Medicine graduates as they go cross country to complete residencies

By Emma Dale News Editor news@cm-life.com

Growing up in a town of about 6,000 people, and relocating to a city of more than 100,000 to pursue a passion may sound difficult, but for recent College of Medicine graduate Abby Fredrickson, her new location feels like home.

In 2016, Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine inaugural class graduated 62 students—all of whom had a 100 percent placement rate for their residencies. Although many of them completed their undergraduate degrees and medical school in Michigan, they all didn’t stay there. Over half of them—34— went out of state.

Fredrickson grew up in Ishpeming, a small town located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She is now serving her residency more than 700 miles west, through the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Working in the psychiatric division at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, —Fredrickson wanted to stay in the Midwest when it came time to apply for her residency.

She completed her undergraduate degree at Northern Michigan University, earning her bachelor’s degree in biology with an emphasis in physiology. Fredrickson enrolled at CMU’s College of Medicine in 2012.

PREPARING FOR SUCCESS Third year of medical school is when students begin their clinical years and get to experience different areas and decide what interests them. Fredrickson said students also start forming relationships with mentors to in order to receive recommendations.

When it came to the College of Medicine, she said it prepared her for being comfortable with patients since they started introducing clinical work in their first two years of medical school.

“That was a big thing, because then when we got into the clinicals we were actually already ahead of the game,” Fredrickson said. “We could advance our learning more than if that was the first time we had ever been in contact with patients.”

In psychiatry, she said her day-to-day work is never the same due to rotations. Her normal day for inpatients unit is working with patients, discussing their medical history and completing physical exams. Writing notes and computer work is what takes the longest for the job, she said.

“My residency is going absolutely wonderful,” Fredrickson said. “It’s been the light at the end of the tunnel that you’re constantly striving towards in medical school. (It’s) so great to have that autonomy where you can write the notes, dictate care and have more of a voice as a resident than you ever do as a student.”

For her new environment, Fredrickson is settling in well and hasn’t had trouble adapting.

“Being out in North Dakota feels like home to me,” Fredrickson said. “Being from the Upper Peninsula originally, (it has) the same type of people, the same attitude (and) people are brought up the same way. Everyone is almost overly nice.”

In October, during their fourth year of medical school, students start applying for residencies. The interview process lasts until January of the following year. Students use a process where they rank the residencies they are most interested in, and programs do the same with applicants.

The system is designed to give applicants the best possible scenarios to train for the programs they’re passionate about in a location they’re interested in.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME In March, “Match Day” takes place. This is when students find out what residency they’ve been placed in.

According to The Match—The National Resident Matching Program, the total number of residencies offered in 2017 across the U.S. was 31,757. This data was an all time high and 1,007 more residencies were offered in 2017 than 2016.

For Ali Hachem, this day was filled with excitement, discovering he was matched with one of his top picks. Hachem, is serving his residency with

CMU’s College of Medicine at St. Mary’s of Michigan in Saginaw.

He is one of the 29 doctors who stayed in Michigan.

learning environment,” Hachem said. “I thought it would offer me the tools that would help me succeed.”

Being a medical resident, he admitted he likes being able to make decisions regarding patients and their care.

“I enjoy Internal Medicine,” Hachem said. “The problem-solving aspect that (goes) along with patient care. A lot of times it’s prolong patient care that you don’t get much in these other fields.”

Jennifer Churchill, director of marketing and communications for the College of Medicine discussed the topic of the continuing shortage of number of physicians around the country. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, a press release from March 2017 projects a shortage of 40,800 to 104,900 doctors.

When it came to applying to residencies, Hachem said he was looking mostly in Michigan and the Midwest, but applied to a few around the country.

He was very interested in working in Saginaw.

“Saginaw is like a goldmine. There is so much to take out of it,” Hachem said. “It’s very home feeling, it’s very close. You run into your patients all over town. There’s a need for positions here. I think the medical school has done a good job trying to drag that point home.”

Hachem noted the importance of wanting to stay in Michigan for his residency for family reasons and to serve his state.

“This is where all my family and friends are so I wanted to be close to them,” Hachem said. “Michigan also has a developing shortage of physicians and we have great (in-state) programs. There was no good reason for me to leave.”

FROM MI WITH LOVE Madeline Brockberg is serving her residency at Boston University Medical Center in the Emergency Medicine division. The Birmingham native earned her bachelor’s degree at University of Michigan in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Sciences.

When applying for residencies, Brockberg said she didn’t have a specific location in mind and was “looking all over.” She applied to all the programs in Michigan, as well as many in the Midwest.

One of the reasons she attended the College of Medicine because they have a mission and focus on to help underserved populations, which is something Brockberg looked for in residency programs and “plan(ed) on practicing throughout (her) career.”

Brockberg noted the competitiveness of the process, explaining that on average, to have a good chance of matching, a student needed to have more than 12 interviews with the different programs. “(I was) really excited about (going) pretty much everywhere I was applying, and was happy to match with Boston,” Brockberg said.

“I just wanted to be in a program that (had) those values that were important to me. Boston Medical Center is a big hospital in Boston, it serves a very large community, particularly an underserved community.”

Describing a normal day in her residency, she said every day is different—depending on the rotation of department she is in in the hospital.

She is in Internal Medicine within the Emergency Medicine Department.

Being more than 900 miles away from Michigan, when it comes to adapting to the new location, Brockberg said she hasn’t had trouble. She didn’t w WHATS UP DOC’? | SEE PAGE 11

The result of more than 100 hours of work, Egnot’s engine was put together using components like the oil pump from a VW Beetle, a car turbo charger and 1/2 horsepower electric motor. At full power, the engine could reach temperatures of 600 degrees celsius (about 1112 fahrenheit) with a sound that registered near 137 decibels.

feel there was any challenge in Boston she wouldn’t be facing somewhere else.

“I wanted a place that had a commitment to their community and a place that had a strong culture of education, working with residents to help make them the best doctors they can be,” Brockberg said.

She also noted the value of community she learned in her time at CMED. That aspect was something she hoped to fulfill in her residency in Boston. “(I wanted) a place I felt like the residents were

supportive, built each other up and were there for each other,” Brockberg said. “Residencies are a difficult time. It’s important to have people surround you that can be there for you.”

When it came to how Brockberg’s residency has been going so far, she said she has enjoyed it and been learning and challenged in “exciting new ways.”

“I’m really enjoying the people I’m working with,” Brockberg said. “I’m very proud to be able to provide the care we provide to the community. Boston Medical Center has a reputation will provide excellent care to anyone who walks in the door and it’s something all the residents around me have a lot of pride in. I (know I) do.”

IN THE

EYE OF THE

STORM Following Atlantic hurricanes, Joseph brothers finally able to call home

By Jake Clark Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Among those affected in the Southeast and Caribbean hurricanes over the past few months, Central Michigan track and field brothers Avery and Ahmed Joseph are happy to say their family survived the storms.

The brothers, both throwers, are from St. Thomas, part of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Avery, a junior, said they were able to contact family back home after Hurricane Irma.

Avery said in the days before Hurricane Maria, the waiting only heightened their anxieties.

“It was good to hear that it was all OK after the first storm,” Avery said. “Knowing a second is looming was very scary for us all.”

They finally were able to contact home on Sept. 26. “(The call) went well,” Avery said. “Luckily, the hurricane did not hit them as strong as (Irma). It did hit another island that has family of mine — St. Croix – but as far as we know, they’re fine as well.”

They both said the Virgin Islands were lucky to not have been hit as hard as other Atlantic Islands.

The unusually active 2017 hurricane season has seen five major hurricanes — the most since 2010.

“We see all the destruction (in other areas) and

can only be thankful our family is safe in both islands,” Ahmed said.

They described the horrors they heard about on their first call from home — from vicious floods to roofs flying off churches. St. Thomas is a very close-knit area, Avery said, and he described his neighbors as more like siblings, parents and grandparents.

Islands are very small,” Ahmed said. “It hits us deeply when something like this happens, not just because of our blood family there, but because of everyone else we love.”

Avery said their teammates and coaches have been a blessing throughout the events.

“They’ve been very kind,” he said. “They are making sure our family is OK and asking us if we’re OK. It means a lot.

“It just shows we’re not only a team on the track, but off the track as well.”

Ahmed has been following in his older brother’s footsteps as he became a walk-on for the track and field team this season.

Avery also was a walk-on as a freshman. Before this season, he was awarded for his efforts with a $20,000 scholarship to continue competing.

“It’s an accomplishment. All I ever wanted was to make it to a Division I school and get a scholarship,” Avery said. “With everything that’s happening, it feels very nice to get good news.”

Ahmed said some might shy away from competing at the same school as their older brothers, but it feels normal for him.

“We played football together as kids,” he said.

“Transitioning into track and field is a bigger deal because we get to compete against each other, doing our best to beat the other every meet.”

After the news from home, the brothers said their primary focus is now preparing for the upcoming outdoor track and field season. With the guidance of throwing coach Matt Adams, both have set high goals for the spring.

Ahmed hopes to place in the top six in the MidAmerican Conference Championships and hit 60 meters by the end of the season.

After placing second at the MAC Championships last year, Avery wants to make it to the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Poljan, football seek first MAC win Saturday at Ohio

By Dylan Goetz Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

When the Central Michigan football team faces off against Ohio on Saturday, you can expect to see head coach John Bonamego using players in positions they don’t normally play.

The Chippewas face the Ohio Bobcats at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7 in Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio.

The game is available on ESPN3.

On Sept. 30, backup quarterback Tony Poljan was used at wide receiver against Boston College. The 6-foot-7 redshirt freshman caught three passes for 61 yards, and rushed for 20 yards on four attempts while taking snaps at quarterback.

“That was the second time in my life I have lined up at receiver,” Poljan said. “It was in the gameplan and I practiced it a little bit, but it is totally different from practicing and being on the field.”

Poljan said he used his size to gain the advantage over the

defense. He nearly caught for a two-point conversion, but did not gain full possession on the ball to complete the catch.

Bonamego said Poljan was too good of an athlete to “make signals on the sidelines.” Before the season started, Bonamego said he wanted to include Poljan in the offense in any way he sees possible.

Last season, CMU bested Ohio in Kelly/Shorts Stadium, 27-20.

Bonamego said the win doesn’t carry much weight because there is a new team every season.

“What has happened in the past has no bearing on what is happening now,” Bonamego said.

“Every team is different. If you change one person, you change the dynamic on how that group functions and works together.”

In the past two games, the CMU offense struggled to score in the first quarter and allowed their opponents to take an early lead.

“We look at everything including play selection,” Bonamego said. “Nobody plans to start slow.

Against Miami (Ohio) we took a shot downfield with a flea flicker and we might have forced that a little bit. It is something that I challenge the coordinators to address with the team.”

Ohio holds a 4-1 record and sits first in the Mid-American Conference East Division. The

Bobcats are coming off a win against UMass where they scored 58 points on offense.

CMU travels to Athens, Ohio for the Bobcats’ homecoming game. In the nonconference schedule, Ohio beat Hampton, Kansas and Massachusetts, but lost to Purdue.

Volleyball faces Eastern, hosts Kent State

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

Following losses to Western Michigan and Northern Illinois, the Chippewa volleyball team will attempt to get back to .500 in the Mid-American Conference.

CMU (9-7, 1-3 MAC) travels to Eastern Michigan on Thursday before hosting Kent State on Saturday. Both matches begin at 7 p.m.

EMU (10-10, 2-2 MAC) defeated NIU 3-2 over the weekend prior to being defeated by WMU, 3-1. KSU (2-13, 0-4) has yet to win a conference game.

ABOUT THE CHIPPEWAS CMU is led by strong offensive play this season. The

Chippewas rank in the top five in the MAC in major offensive statistical categories including hitting percentage, assists and kills.

Senior Jordan Bueter leads the entire conference averaging 4.27 kills per set.

Freshman setter Grace Butler ranks third in the MAC averaging 10.56 assists per set.

CMU sits in the bottom half of the MAC in many defensive categories. The Chippewas rank ninth in opponent hitting percentage and eighth in digs.

Sophomore Megan Kern began the season at the libero position, but CMU has since turned to junior Emily Wenglikowski and senior Courtney Hiltibran.

EMU The Eagles hosts CMU for their 2017 Dig Pink match, an event that donates all its proceeds to researching breast cancer and finding a cure.

Central Michigan leads the alltime series 58-25, including wins in the last three matches.

Eastern Michigan is an exceptional defensive team, leading the MAC in blocks and is second in opponent hitting percentage.

Seniors Samantha Falco and Kelly Ferguson sit second and third in the conference for blocks, respectively.

Junior Alyssa LeFace is fifth in the MAC averaging 4.98 digs per set.

KENT STATE After dropping two home

matches over the weekend, the Golden Flashes are still searching for their first conference win of the season.

CMU has not defeated Kent State since 2012.

The Golden Flashes have struggled both offensively and defensively, ranking 11th or last in hitting percentage, opponent hitting percentage, assists, kills, blocks, and service aces.

KSU ranks third in the MAC in digs averaging 17.22 digs per set.

Senior Challen Geraghty is second in the MAC averaging 5.73 digs per set.

Despite the offensive struggles for the Golden Flashes, senior Kelsey Bittinger averages 3.78 kills per set, good for third in the conference.

DII hockey to build structure in 2017

By James Paxson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

It’s time for Central Michigan Division II hockey players to sharpen their skates and practice their shots.

CMU’s first regular season game is at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6 against Lawrence Tech. The Chippewas will also compete at home for the first time against Lawrence Tech at noon on Sunday, Oct. 8 in the Isabella County Ice Arena.

Last season, CMU had a 7-5 overall record.

“One of major goals for this season is to create a structure off the ice,” assistant coach Brittany Knopp said.

“Winning is very important but we would also like to grow as players and coaches throughout this season.”

Head coach Brian Knopp has lead CMU for three seasons. His daughter, Brittany, has been with the team for two seasons. Brittany is also the head coach for the women’s club hockey team.

CMU enters the season without defenseman Jeff Moran and forward Austin Cole, who led the team with 15 goals.

Moran held a presence on the defensive side and ended the season with nine points, Brian said.

Captain Kyle Chapman and assistant captains Justin McCommas and Shayn Lindquist lead the team into the 2017 season. Chapman hopes to lead his team in assists for the second straight season.

“As the captain, I want to lead the team at a high completion level,” Chapman said. “We have a tougher schedule than last year and the goal is to compete hard all season.”

CMU travels to East Lansing to play the Michigan State Spartans on Dec. 8. The Chippewas get a chance to face the Spartans in Mount Pleasant on Dec. 9.

“The opponent I am most looking forward to is Michigan State,” junior defenseman Steven Jacques said. “They are a big-time team and going to their arena and playing at the (Munn Arena) is going to be a fun experience and good competition.”
