Group hopes to restore sexual assault services

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter @paige_sheff | news@cm-life.com

The ability to get a rape kit administered from a properly-trained nurse might soon be a resource available for survivors of sexual assault in Mount Pleasant.

Funding has been identified for the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program in Mount Pleasant by community officials who hope to have the program restored by the summer of 2016.

SANE programs exist to conduct forensic exams to obtain evidence for victims who might want to file criminal charges. According to CMU’s annual security and fire safety report, victims should not change their clothes, shower or alter their physical state in another way before the examination.

Before the program is restored, the 11 McLaren Central Michigan nurses who want

to be certified sexual assault nurse examiners have to complete in-depth training.

Mount Pleasant had Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner services until 2012, when Women’s Aid Service lost grant funding. Women’s Aid tried to run the program without grant funding, but costs were too high and the service was discontinued in 2013. The group estimated a start-up cost of $30,000 and an annual cost of $15,000-20,000.

Julia Stier, a Central Michigan University senior and president of the Organization of Women Leaders works in the McLaren cafeteria. She has asked staff why the hospital doesn’t have any certified nurse examiners.

“I think it’s messed up that McLaren (in Mount Pleasant) doesn’t have a SANE nurse,” Stier said. “It’s a college campus. With sexual assaults happening so often on college campuses, I think it should be mandatory that they have (SANEs) at all hospitals, especially near colleges.”

Mt. Pleasant

Midland 35 Min

Lansing 1 hr 3 min.

To get a rape kit that will hold up in court, students have to travel at least 30 minutes from Mount Pleasant to either Midland, Grayling or Lansing.

Ten rapes were reported at CMU in 2014, according to CMU’s annual security and fire safety report, while 18 were reported in Mount Pleasant, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

A National Crime Victimization Survey special report on victimizations not reported to the police in 2006-2010 found that 65 percent of sexual assaults go unreported. Though this figure varies by study, numerous studies show sexual assault is underreported, especially on college campuses.

In Mount Pleasant, a survivor of sexual assault might have to travel from 45 minutes to an hour to receive a certified medical examina-

tion in Midland, Lansing or Grayling. CMUPD will transport victims to get a certified exam in another location.

During the 45 minute drive to Midland to have a 4-hour exam completed within 120 hours of the assault, Brooke Huber, the Sexual Response Team Coordinator for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe said, the victim might give up on getting the examination. But without the examination, the prosecutor might not have the necessary medical evidence for a successful prosecution.

“In the investigation of sexual assaults, the SANE examination is a crucial part of the evidence which can be obtained for successful

5

prosecutions and is noted as the best practice for investigators and in federal Title IX legislation,” CMU Police Lt. Larry Klaus said.

Midland shares its two certified nurses with Bay City, so the nurses are not always available to see all patients, Huber said.

The victim can get a rape kit done in Mount Pleasant, but it might not stand up in court.

A community group made up of people from McLaren Central Michigan, Women’s Aid Service, the CMU Police, CMU Sexual Assault Services, CMU Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe Sexual Assault Response Team began meeting monthly in 2014 to address this issue.

Originally, the Tribe and CMU were going to pursue the issue separately, but decided to collaborate and do something that would benefit anyone, not just select populations. The group agreed that a community the size of Mount Pleasant with a large number of students needs SANE services.

To assess need, they collected data from various organizations such as reports made to CMU, law enforcement and medical facilities.

The community demonstrates a need for the services, not only because of the additional population from college stu-

“We should be coordinating, rather than simply referring victims to other places.”

Brooke Huber, Sexual Assault Response Team Coordinator for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe

dents, but because the most commonly victimized age group is ages 18-24, Huber said. However, federal funding is usually given to higher population areas because there is more evidence of crime there, she said.

The Sexual Assault Response Team of the Tribe has allocated some of its grant funds to support the startup of the program. McLaren will take on the cost of office space, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. The Sexual Assault Response Team and CMU will provide funding for general operations of the program, Huber said, including on-call compensation for nurses, exam compensation and training fees. The exam will be free and confidential.

Survivors will not have to bill their insurance.

Vice President of Finance

and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes said when the community group asked people in the community, including CMU, for funding, he thought CMU “absolutely” had to help fund the program.

He said he doesn’t know the exact amount CMU will be providing yet, but right now it will come out of the Finance and Administrative Services division budget.

“We shouldn’t require an individual to travel an hour or more and wait,” Wilkes said. “It’s a service the community should be providing.”

The group will work with Isabella County and the city of Mount Pleasant to establish a more sustainable funding model and transition from grant funding, Klaus said.

Klaus said the certified nurse examiner collects evidence of the assault, conducts an exam for any sexually transmitted diseases and provides access to medication. Each nurse must completex 40 hours of online training that teaches them how to collect and preserve evidence, act as a witness in a trial and provide victimcentered care. The nurses then must complete an on-site training, which has not been scheduled yet.

Huber said this certified medical examination is a crucial step in getting long term

Conversation Partners help students learn English

By Emily Finn Staff Reporter @Emily_Finn17 | news@cm-life.com

English is not the first language of some Central Michigan University students.

Conversation Partners is a growing volunteer program that pairs students working on English language skills with proficient English speakers.

The program had more than 300 English language learners last semester, which is double the participation in 2009. The organization had approximately 400 volunteers last semester.

“Our numbers have grown a lot,” said Caitlin Hamstra, associate director at the English Language Institute.

Hamstra is in charge of pairing volunteers with English language learners.

Hamstra said she usually partners volunteers, who tend to be domestic students, with international students who need help practicing English. Sometimes she pairs English-learners with faculty and staff who are proficient nonnative English speakers.

“Usually they are international students who are in the English Language Institute who are still learning English, but some of them have finished ELI

here and just want a little more practice,” Hamstra said.

Hillman sophomore and psychology major Riley Appel gren joined Conversation Partners this year as a volunteer.

She decided to participate to log volunteer hours for the Honors Program, and learn about other cultures.

“Some of my teaching as-

sistants in the honors program recommended it to me as an interesting way to learn about new people and different cultures,” Appelgren said.

“I thought it would be a really good way for me to become a little more outgoing, since I was kind of a shy person at first.”

Appelgren’s conversation partner, Ali Alobaid, is a Saudi Arabian

freshman studying mechanical engineering. He has been living in the United States for slightly more than two years.

“As an international student I wanted to have a conversation partner so I can improve my English language,” Alobaid said. “She has helped me a little bit with my conversation and speaking.”

Appelgren said the program is

helping her as well. “(Conversation Partners) definitely made me a little more comfortable with talking to people because we started out as strangers and now we know quite a bit about each other. We talk about our families and our hobbies and things we like to do and different funny stories we’ve had

along the way,” she said.

Hamstra explained that the program reinforces the importance of practicing English outside the classroom.

“Students get a lot of academic writing, reading, listening, speaking and grammar in class, but this is an opportunity for them to hear English and use it in more natural ways with their peer group, people who are their age,” she said.

Appelgren said she recommends the Conversation Partners program.

“I’ve learned a lot of things that I didn’t previously think about or realize like about the climate in the area that he lived in and about the city he lived in and about their culture, especially,” she said.

Alobaid’s first language is Arabic. Every semester, Alobaid said he is assigned a new Conversation Partner and has kept in touch with some past partners with whom he has formed close relationships.

“I am (also) shy and I want to improve my conversation with people. I want to speak better with someone from a different culture,” he said.

Applications to volunteer for Conversation Partners can be found at www.eli.cmich.edu.

Police investigate two on-campus criminal sexual conduct cases

By Johnathan Hogan Staff Reporter @jr_hogan1 | news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University Police are investigating two sexual assaults that occurred on campus last week.

The first is a case of third degree criminal sexual conduct that occurred at midnight on Friday in Wheeler Hall.

Lt. Cameron Wassman of CMUPD said no further information can be released at this time, and the investigation is still ongoing.

Third degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony defined as non-forcible criminal sexual penetration and carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.

On Wednesday, a person

referred to as a “campus security authority” reported a case of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct that occurred Jan. 14 in Calkins Hall. The complainant told police she did not want to pursue criminal charges for the incident.

Fourth degree CSC is a misdemeanor that involves nonforcible sexual contact, and carries a maximum sentence

of two years in prison and/or a fine of $500.

A “campus security authority” is defined by the Campus Safety and Security Act of 1991, or the Clery Act. CSAs include resident advisers, hall staff, advisers for registered student organizations, and coaches, among others, Wassman said. If one of these individuals learns of a

sexual assault incident from a student, they must report it to the university. However, cases will only be investigated by the university if the victim wishes.

Wassman said police are still required to determine what happened, but there will be no criminal investigation.

The non-criminal investigation is required to determine

that the individual has not committed other crimes. The investigation is included in annual statistics given to the U.S. Department of Education.

No public record is kept detailing the investigation, and cannot be referenced if the accused is ever charged in a future case.

New senators join SGA

By Jordyn Hermani News Editor @h3rmani | news@cm-life.com

Eight new Senators were sworn in at the first Student Government Association meeting of spring semester.

Senior Austin Blessing, graduate student Rahul Gopireddy, freshman Bailey Gastian, sophomore Jackie Smith, junior Shayna Haynes-Heard, sophomore Boomer Wingard, senior Kyle Norman and senior Dan Duong were elected after giving minute long speeches and answering two questions from the audience about why they are qualified to fill the open Senate seats.

Six seats remain open.

“We had individuals come up after (the election) who, because of some miscommunication, wanted to run but didn’t,” said SGA President Chuck Mahone. “Because of this, we’ll have more individuals running for Senate seats next week.”

If all open seats go unfilled, however, Mahone said he won’t worry.

“If the seats remain open, then they remain open,” he said. “It’s not important that we have a full Senate. What’s most important is that we have dedicated Senators who are in those positions, doing what needs to be done for students.”

Senators are responsible for representing an academic college and its students through SGA sanctioned projects.

Many of the new Senators expressed wishes to get students more involved on campus with voting during their speeches.

Wingard, also a member of Central Michigan University’s Register, Educate, Vote Central Michigan University, a non-partisan organization created to help students register to vote and help educate them about current issues, said a project he hopes to pursue during his time as a Senator is allowing students to register to vote during freshman orientation.

“We, as young adults, fail miserably when it comes to voter turnout,” he said.

“I want to increase voter awareness on

campus by having students register and be educated about voting. It should be our campus’ primary goal.”

Students not a part of SGA are still eligible to run for positions in the Senate.

Those interested in running must contact either Mahone, SGA Vice President Maggie Blackmer or Senate Leader Rebecca Detroyer prior to running for a Senator position to add their name to the ballot. From there, the student must give a speech before the House detailing why they are qualified for the Senator position.

Every student who ran was elected and sworn in before the body, after the meeting.

Blackmer said she was impressed with the diverse topics covered in each Senator’s speech and has hope for the rest of the semester.

“Those who ran tonight had a lot of different projects and ideas that (SGA) might not have ever really touched upon,” said said. “I’m excited for the new Senators who ran tonight and am ready to get this semester going.”

The College of Science and Technology has received $35.7 million in grant research over the last five and a half years, according to data provided by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies.

Of that amount, $21.6 million was given to research within the Department of Biology, approximately 60.4 percent of all grant funding received by the college. In contrast, the computer science department has received about $160,000 in grants, less than half a percent of all grant funding. The department of computer science did not receive any grants during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years and has not received any so far this year.

Mary Montoye, executive director of the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, said the data does not include grants provided for research in which CMU professors work alongside other professors as coprincipal investigators. If two professors collaborate on a project and receive a grant for their work, the office does not count the funding in their official data.

The largest donor was the Environmental Protection Agency, which has donated $12.6 million.

Another S1.25 million was donated by the EPA in

collaboration with other organizations. A Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant for $10 million for coastal wetland monitoring was awarded in 2010 to professor Donald Uzarski, director of CMU’s Institute for Great Lakes Research and the Biological Station on Beaver Island.

Uzarski and his team received a second $10 million grant in October. Of that second grant, only $2 million is included in the current data provided by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies.

“Over 50 percent of all Great Lakes coastal wetlands have been lost to development at this point and we are just now beginning to understand how important these systems are to the overall Great Lakes ecosystem and our economy,” Uzarski said in a press release provided by the EPA in October.

Other prominent donors include the National Science Foundation, which donated $6.9 million, the U.S. Department of Energy, donating $1.8 million, and the Michigan Department of Education, donating $1.9 million. The NSF also collaborated with other organizations to donate $556,187.

Dog Central waiting for approval to serve beer in 2016

By Sydney Smith Managing Editor @SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com

Dog Central is one step closer to serving beer, but the timeline is uncertain.

At Monday’s Mount Pleasant City Commission meeting, commissioners discussed and approved a redevelopment liquor license for the downtown restaurant.

“I think this is a good idea for our downtown. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses that start downtown don’t last long. I think Dog Central has proven their staying power and this will only make them stronger,” said city commissioner Tony Kulick at the meeting.

While its main focus would still be food, owner Paul McFall said in a statement to the commission that the restaurant would

serve an “extensive” canned beer line up, featuring happy hours and dollar hours on certain beers.

McFall plans to cut off alcohol sales at 1 a.m. to avoid problems with underage drinking and drunk customers. He doesn’t anticipate an increase in noise or traffic with the change.

“I’m waiting on some paperwork from the city. It’s just a big stack of papers that the city has approved me for the liquor license,” McFall said. “Then I (will) send it to the (liquor control) commission with my application and wait to hear back. I don’t know how long this process will take.

Once we have it in hand there will just be minor alterations (in the restaurant). It would be awesome if we could serve beer this fall, but I don’t know if that’s possible yet.”

The restaurant’s next step is to forward everything to the Michi-

gan Liquor Control Commission for approval, said Downtown Development Director Michelle Sponseller.

At a December meeting, a special use permit allowing Dog Central to obtain a liquor license through the Michigan Liquor

Control Commission was unanimously approved by commissioners. This was the first of three steps before the business could begin to serve alcohol. It must obtain a liquor license to be classified as a Class I restaurant, or one that makes more than 50 percent of its profit from food sales, while also selling alcohol.

Once that step is completed, Sponseller forwards it to city staff for review. These officials confirm that the request meets all necessary qualifications, such as zoning and paid taxes. “(The licenses) are based on the amount of investment in the district, so I have to review the building permits and city projects within the last five years,” Sponseller said.

McFall must send his various approvals along with a $20,000 fee to the MLCC so it can start its review process, Sponseller

said. The commission will work closely with the restaurant on the construction of liquor service, enforcement and training. Once this is complete, the license is approved.

Feedback from customers and other business owners downtown has been largely positive, McFall said.

“Everybody has been saying it’ll a cool addition to the restaurant,” he said. “Hotdogs and beer go hand in hand. Some people thought we served beer already; they just kind of assume. We’ve had positive feedback from business owners too.”

In his statement to the commission, McFall said the 10-year plan for the restaurant involves expanding to other locations statewide. Opening in February 2011, the restaurant frequently sees out-the-door lines on weekends.

International students experience snow for first time

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter @paige_sheff | news@cm-life.com

Ashwini Pipalapalli can’t wait to go sledding, make snow angels, and have snowball fights.

The India graduate student heard stories about Christmas in the United States, so she was excited when she saw snow for the first time.

“I woke up and saw snow outside and thought I had to experience it,” she said.

Pipalapalli received winter safety precautions from the International Student Organization at Central Michigan University. She also stocked up on warm clothing, purchasing a winter jacket, snow boots and gloves. With a slow start to the winter season this year, Mount Pleasant has snow on

the ground and is forecasted to get snow showers, rain and temperatures in the high 20s to low 40s this week.

Egypt sophomore Moustafa Hassan thinks it’s often too cold to venture to the Student Activity Center or the Charles V. Park Library.

“When it was very cold for me, I saw people wearing Tshirts,” he said.

The snow is beautiful, but no the cold weather that comes with it, Hassan said.

Before coming to the U.S., Bangladesh graduate student Sayedul Aman hadn’t seen snow since visiting Ireland when he was 3 years old — an experience he doesn’t remember.

On the first day it snowed, he went to the park with his friends, stopping to take photos on the way.

“If it keeps snowing month

after month I don’t think I’ll like it. But the first day I enjoyed it,” he said before winter break.

Now that he’s experienced the winter weather, it’s not as bad as he thought it would be, but he still prefers warm weather. He doesn’t like how he can no longer ride his bike around campus, but likes how the snow looks.

“I like the serenity of nature when it snows,” he said. “Also, I like the color.”

Graduate student Sharad Shrestha experienced snow in his home country, Nepal, on the mountains and hills, but not on flat ground. The region he lived in experienced temperatures of around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but he has heard it sometimes drops to around 20 degrees below zero in Michigan.

Pipalapalli was excited to to decorate a Christmas

tree, make decorations, visit a church in the U.S. for the holidays and celebrate the New Years holiday.

Though she doesn’t love cold weather, she has visited churches in India and was in

choir, coming from a background that makes her eager to learn more about holiday traditions in the U.S. Before coming to Michigan, she saw pictures of winter in the U.S. online. As an inter-

national student here for the first time, she shared her own pictures of the snowfall with her friends and posted them on social media.

“I want everyone to experience the snow,” she said.

Voting crucial in times of crisis L

Students must participate; engage in politics to spur change

ate last week, a small group of students gathered on campus to call for Gov. Rick Snyder’s resignation.

These students, some of whom are from Flint, say Snyder is responsible for the poisoning of their hometown’s water supply during a 17-month period.

The Flint water crisis has gained national attention. It is another reminder of how government can fail us. Now, we need to show we care enough about each other to protect ourselves from democratic failure.

We must vote.

Our hearts go out to our classmates who cannot drink clean water when they visit their hometown. We urge our campus community to provide support to those affected by the Flint water crisis.

Snyder was elected by the people of this state and his administration has failed us. It brings to mind the importance of adequate representation in government and the importance of voting.

More importantly, we encourage students on this campus to be aware of the power of local government and actively participate in the governing process.

Many of us are quick to post on social media sites and share our opinions on political and social issues.

Editorial Sadly, most statistics show your Facebook friends don’t make it to voting booths on Election Day.

According to a survey conducted by “45 for the 45th,” a website devoted to engaging young voters, almost one-half of all 16 to 24-year-olds said they had no interest in politics at all.

The same survey found only 39 percent of people age 18 to 24 agreed or strongly agreed they would seriously be neglecting their

duty as a citizen if they didn’t vote.

Those figures are unacceptable.

A generation as plugged-in as ours has no excuse to not participate in democracy. We know what the issues are; we just need to take the next step.

We must be unified in our push for an active democratic system.

We can only achieve tangible

success on the political front when everyone participates. Disagreeing is OK. It is our First Amendment right. It helps the marketplace of ideas flourish.

If we show up, we have the power to swing the vote and create substantial change in government.

Activism won’t change anything if we don’t vote.

A democracy does not work without sustained involvement from people. All people.

Instead, many young people have a disillusioned view of government due to its failings and they don’t feel compelled to vote.

This is a presidential election year.

That means it is another chance for young people across this country to make their voices heard on hot-button issues such as the cost of higher education and the importance of a thriving job market.

The Flint water crisis is a prime example of how government cannot be trusted to make decisions in the best interests of the people when it is not held accountable by voters.

When high-ranking governmental officials are allowed to make decisions based on budgets instead of what is best for its people. Everyone is put at risk.

And today, the people of Flint know better than anyone else just how dangerous that risk can be.

Letters to the

EDITOR

Students should be good neighbors Social media sound off To the Author of the Open Letter to Mayor Ling: There are many reasons why relations between CMU students and city residents “have become contentious.”

Simply put, the residents I’ve spoken to are tired of student behavior.

I have been in Mount Pleasant 20 years, all of it as a CMU faculty member.

I missed those legendary “End of the World” parties, but there have been plenty of other offenses during the 12 years I’ve lived in the neighborhood north of High and west of Main streets. In fact, WANA, the local neighborhood association, was formed in 2004 partly to deal with student misdemeanors.

Over the years my neighbors and I have dealt with vandalism, traffic congestion, litter and drunken students returning to campus from downtown bars, not to mention the fallout from assaults, streetfights and nuisance parties.

The funny thing is that the student population does not “dominate the city’s social scene,” it only thinks it does. This was clearly demonstrated at the CMU-city liaison committee

meeting that took place on campus last November.

I know because I’m a member of that committee, and sat right next to Ian Elliott.

There was heavy student representation at the meeting from a combination of entities including Residence Life, the PanHellenic Council, and the SGA, and those students advocated strenuously for every student’s inalienable right to party.

The trouble with such arguments is that, while not only being callow, they are also unsustainable. Local residents obviously do recognize students as part-time residents.

Many members of the neighborhoods work at CMU and thus are neither afraid of nor made insecure by the presence of students near their homes. But the recent uptick in dumpster fires and loud house parties, combined with piles of abandoned furniture each spring during the annual homeward migration, gives some of us the impression that students aren’t really much invested in being “good neighbors.”

Tax-paying members of the community welcome the arrival of the new code enforcement officer be-

cause we know that it is not difficult to keep the neighborhood clean, but we also know that dense concentrations of people sometimes need reminding of this.

We also welcome Kathy Ling to the mayor’s chair. She has a history of support for neighborhoods, and will be well complemented by Vice-Mayor Allison Quast-Lents, and other proneighborhood members recently elected to the city council.

Perhaps your next overture to the community will be more successful.

May I suggest that a dram of humility included with some substantive recommendations might find a more welcome reception from the “paranoid minority of city residents.”

PBS programs provide balance Trustees should consider impact on local viewers To the Board of Trustees:

Having taught at CMU for thirty-five and one half years before retiring in 2003, and still residing in Mount Pleasant, I am disheartened at the proposed auction of CMU Public TV. As you know, the programming has provided an invaluable service in terms of news and information, documentaries and entertainment. My support for CMU TV over the years, both in theory and financially, has been based not merely on what it has afforded me personally, but what I considered to be an investment in the long range benefits for all the communities involved. If there are financial gains to be made by such an auction, what is the trade off?

This proposal smacks of the DIA’s consideration to sell many of its masterpieces to bail out the city of Detroit. Thank goodness philanthropic efforts prevented such an occurrence. Detroit would have sacrificed

some of its cultural treasures, thereby undermining part of its heritage which inspires its residents and serves as a draw for many visitors. Admittedly, this argument may be a stretch. But the intention is to underscore the life line public television has been, as well as the countless number of students it has drawn over the years. Additionally, are we to deny access to quality programming to those who don’t choose to buy cable service or can’t afford it?

As individuals, the input we have in the content of Public Broadcasting provides the balance needed to an otherwise relatively common denomination of cable networks. I urge you, please, to open this question to a public forum. No matter what the final decision is, at least CMU will not be criticized for not having been transparent in the process.

Richard Janis Professor Emeritus, Department of Art and Design

To the Board of Trustees: The recent decision to consider putting some of the Public Broadcasting airwaves up for action demonstrates a head in the sand attitude on the part of the board of trustees for Central Michigan University. This action is short-sighted because it ignores life outside our campus as if the citizens of middle and upper Michigan are inconsequential regarding their needs for information, education and cultural enrichment.

How could the board overlook this important role as cultural and educational outreach not otherwise available to over 5 million state residents.

We believe that continued campus support for public broadcasting is important to the citizens of Michigan. Keeping CMU Public Broadcasting is vital for the good of our people. So is preserving the image of CMU as reaching out beyond campus classrooms to non-students. Do the smart thing and keep serving our state with quality public broadcasting!

Faculty creates documentary on Flint water crisis @SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com

When he was in Flint, Cedric Taylor met a mother who was overwhelmed with guilt after encouraging her child to drink water.

Her daughter had a health issue, and she thought drinking water would help. The child now has a high concentration of lead in her system.

Taylor, a sociology faculty member, said stories like this are common. He’s been working on a documentary, which is set to finish in summer 2017, about the Flint water crisis. He hopes it will be aired on public broadcasting stations across the country.

He and his film partner, Daniel Bracken, are in control of shooting and directing the film. Bracken was a producer of “America: From the Ground Up,”

a Michigan Association of Broadcasters award-winning documentary series that aired on PBS. Central Michigan University’s public broadcasting station WCMU is assisting with production.

What made you interested in documenting the Flint water crisis?

TAYLOR: I started looking at Detroit. I was interested in how the residents there are dealing with symptoms of overall economic difficulties. Water has been one of those issues. After having gone to Detroit and speaking with some activists, we realized the water issue is pretty bad. The water had been cut off. Pretty soon I realized this water issue had expanded beyond Detroit.

Will the documentary focus solely on Flint?

Michigan has such an abun-

dance of water. When I heard about people not having access to a basic human right, I couldn’t understand. The first episode looks a lot at some of the common scenes that we see in Detroit, in Highland Park and Flint. The second episode is going to be looking at water issues in rural parts of Michigan; they have their own crisis that nobody hears about.

When you go to Flint to film, what stands out the most?

The idea of young people being poisoned is revolting. Being there and talking to families who have been drinking the water and seeing some of the health issues, that is heartbreaking. Seeing parents so frustrated, angry and guilty for feeling that they are responsible for exposing their children to the water — that’s heartbreaking.

We’ve captured some very powerful testimony. Without a shadow

of a doubt, there is anger. They’re frustrated, and understandably so.

They’re feeling any potential that their kids have is taken away. They feel powerless. They’re already in poverty. And now this happens. It’s like you’re already on the ground, and someone comes and kicks you in the face.

What kind of work goes into making a long-form documentary?

It takes a lot of research. The documentary, especially if it’s one hour or longer, it allows you to delve into more detail. It’s a lot of getting contacts, getting people to agree to be interviewed. Access to people who

are in the know and affected by a particular issue, that’s a big part of our storytelling.

You want people who are engaging and people who have knowledge of a particular situation. You also need to visit sites and have an idea of your collection of shots — where you are going to shoot, how you will shoot things.

Then after all the shooting is done, and this depends on the topic, you have to edit all the footage you have. That could be a very demanding process. When you edit, that’s where a lot of the story begins to come out.

You could have maybe 400 hours of footage that you have

to whittle down to 60 minutes.

Why is making this documentary important to you and your team?

This documentary has been done in conjunction with WCMU. They are producing it. Also, the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Those two entities are cooperating as far as production is concerned.

I think CMU needs to be in this conversation. They recognize that. (CHSBS Dean) Pam Gates and WCMU — there’s a sense of obligation that we should be doing something.

Many of our students are from these affected areas.

Rayson’s success hinges on first shot:

Fact or Fiction?

Statistics show junior guard, Chippewas more successful when Rayson hits first attempt

By Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor

Mary Lewandowski | Staff Photographer

Braylon Rayson prepares to shoot the ball during the game against Akron on Jan. 12 in McGuirk Arena.

@TDesOrmeau | sports@cm-life.com

Braylon Rayson isn’t afraid to say it.

“When the first goes in, I feel like I’m just hot for the rest of the game,” the junior guard said. “Anything. A layup, free throw. Any time I hit my first shot, it’s going to be a good day.”

He doesn’t consider himself streaky, but Rayson does believe in momentum. The 5-foot-9 Dallas native has an unwavering swagger once he starts making shots.

“It’s like throwing a rock in the ocean,” Rayson said. “You

feel like every time it leaves your hand, it’s going in. That’s how I feel.”

What about when that first shot doesn’t fall? What does it mean for the rest of his day? Head Coach Keno Davis said he doesn’t put much stock into his first shot.

“As coaches, we have a lot of confidence in him and I couldn’t tell you one game from the next if he made his first shot or not. It doesn’t really affect what we do,” Davis said.

It’s like throwing a rock in the ocean. You feel like every time it leaves your hand, it’s going in. That’s how I feel.

Braylon Rayson, Junior guard

numbers never lie?

The Chippewas are 5-2 on nights when Rayson makes his first shot and 6-6 in games he misses the first attempt. However, wins and losses often depend on more than whether a player gets hold or goes cold.

Here’s a look at Rayson’s numbers, specifically.

In the seven games Rayson started the day with a bucket, he has averaged 20 points per game. Of the 98 field goals attempted, Rayson made 48.98 percent of them (48). From the 3-point line, he is 22-of-49 (44.9 percent).

When starting with a miss, Rayson averaged 14.75 points per game, hitting 57-of-143 field goals (39.86 percent) and 24-of-68 3-point attempts (35.29 percent).

The first set of data gives him at least two points to begin with, narrowing the gap between the two scenarios further.

Just as Rayson claimed, making his first shot of the day is an indicator of success — he has scored at least 17 points in six of the seven games. But a miss to start the game yields mixed results with larger outliers — including a pair of games with three or fewer points and a trio of games with 23 or more.

The verdict? Rayson can get hot at any time — like Tuesday, when he followed up

a 1-for-7 start by making his next four shots and scored seven points over a 1:15 period.

But the sooner, the better.

The anatomy of a miss Sophomore guard Luke Meyer said he is able to remain confident after misses because of how the coaching staff handles the situation.

“I’m lucky enough to have coaches who know I can make shots and are willing to let me keep shooting,” Meyer said.

Davis said the rule is, if the players are allowed to take certain shots during practice, they can take them in a game.

“It’s important from a coaching perspective that you don’t give a quick hook to somebody because they missed a shot,” Davis said. “They can’t be looking over to the bench to see if a sub’s coming in because they missed a play or made a mistake.”

Rayson averages about two fewer field goals and one-and-a-half fewer 3-point shots in the games he misses his first shot.

As CMU’s leading scorer, Rayson knows he’s likely to heat up eventually.

“Shooters gotta shoot,” he said. “Keep shooting. One of these games, I don’t know if it’s coming tomorrow, but it’s coming. We might break a record out there (for 3-pointers). You never know.”

Getting going early in the second half is just as important, Rayson said. He mentioned games where he started 0-for-5, like against Eastern Michigan on Jan. 6, before dropping 17 points in the second half.

“I was always taught, no matter what the score is at halftime, always restart at 0-0,” he said. “You can be up 20 at the half.

If you go into the locker room and you think that you’re up 20, you’re going to come out like you’re up 20.”

Rayson averages about 10 points in the second half of games regardless of whether

But his shooting percentages are vastly better when starting the period with a make — making about 13 percent more field goals and 11.5 percent more 3-point attempts.

From the parking lot The 1,000-point scorer is unique to the group of 3MU shooters in that range isn’t a factor.

Rayson can pull up and knock down shots from the edge of the “Flying C” logo at McGuirk Arena with complete confidence.

“His range right now is probably a comfortable NBA range,” Davis said.

“It’s rare that you’ll see him take one further than that. I think his percent-

ages speak for themselves. You wouldn’t let players do that unless they could do so at a pretty high percentage where it was a good shot for the team.”

His shot selection has improved over his three years, Davis said, and makes it even more difficult on defenses because of his ability to drive to the basket.

Rayson admits it feels good to hit a shot from an extra step or two back — something that normally makes coaches and fans cringe.

“Sometimes, I don’t even notice where I’m shooting it from until I look at the film,” he said. “I’ll be like, ‘Oh, that was deep.’”

It doesn’t matter where he is. He’s ready to throw the next one up.

Braylon Rayson, after all, isn’t afraid of much.

Braylon Rayson needed 13 points Tuesday against Miami (Ohio) on Tuesday to become the 31st player in Central Michigan men’s basketball history to eclipse the 1,000-point mark.

So the junior guard did a little extra.

The Dallas native finished with 14 points as the Chippewas knocked off the RedHawks 68-51 at Millett Hall in Oxford, Ohio.

With 3:41 remaining in the game, Rayson hit a jump shot to put him at 1,001 career points, joining seniors Chris Fowler and John Simons in the 1,000-point club.

“I knew it was coming,” Rayson said.

“I thought I would get it sooner. I didn’t know when it would come but I knew for a fact it was coming sometime soon.”

Before Tuesday, CMU hadn’t beaten Miami on the road since Feb. 27, 1991.

Head Coach Keno Davis said snapping the streak was more important,

because he knew Rayson’s milestone would come soon enough.

Rayson thought so, too.

“It’s something that I’ve been looking forward to doing this year,” Rayson said.

Rayson scored his final points with less than four minutes to play.

CMU is one of only three Division I programs to have three players on the active roster to have more than 1,000 career points each — joining George Washington and Wichita State.

Fowler, who scored 21 points Tuesday, said he isn’t surprised at Rayson’s accomplishment.

“He’s a great player and has been a great scorer since day one,” Fowler said.

“He scores at such an efficient rate. We know what he’s capable of.”

The Chippewas’ leading scorer was held to two points in the first half. Rayson came out of the locker room determined, hitting a 3-pointer in the beginning of the second half to give CMU a 40-34 lead — its largest of the game up to that point.

As Miami fought back and cut the deficit to 52-45, Rayson scored seven

consecutive points, courtesy of a layup, 3-pointer and jump shot to extend CMU’s lead to 14. It gave him 12 points up to that moment.

Rayson said he was not focused on reaching the mark during the game and was just trying to help his team win.

Davis called Rayson and “explosive scorer” who has an outstanding work ethic.

“He’s been incredibly focused on trying to continue to improve his overall game,” Davis said.

Davis said consistent improvements on the offensive and defensive ends have contributed to Rayson, Fowler and Simons’ success. Fowler said he is “very fortunate and very lucky” to be a part of the group.

“It’s a blessing that coach put us in a position to succeed,” Fowler said.

Rayson has 317 points in 19 games this season, averaging 16.7 points per game.

When Fowler missed seven games due to an injury, Rayson knew he had to take step up and emulate his teammate.

“It just shows the other teams that I can do it too,” Rayson said.

Junior Guard | Braylon Rayson

Rayson, Meyer change numbers to honor family

By Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor @TDesOremeau | sports@cm-life.com

The starting five is the same this season as it was in 20142015 for the men’s basketball team. The only change is the numbers on their jerseys.

Sophomore forward Luke Meyer switched from No. 2 to No. 24, leaving the No. 2 for junior guard Braylon Rayson in place of his No. 5.

“I’ve been wearing number two all my life,” Rayson said.

“Before my Papa passed away, he told me he wanted (me) to go back to how I used to be, which was like the headband and all that, number two. So I decided to do what he (asked me) before he left.”

Meyer wore No. 2 throughout his high school playing days at Addison, but only

because the school had just one set of uniforms.

“I was like, ‘Shoot, that number means nothing to me,’” Meyer said. “I’d rather have 24 anyway. So we just kind of made the decision to change it.”

Many of Meyer’s family members — including his mother, grandpa and uncle — wore 24.

“In high school, they played in a town called Dundee,” Meyer said. “My grandpa held the record there for scoring and my mom broke it. My mom played at the University of Toledo. They’ve always worn number 24, so I’m trying to carry it along.”

While there are stories of NFL players paying tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for a number, there was no payment between Meyer and Rayson for what Meyer

called an “easy trade.”

“I haven’t seen any payment for numbers at the collegiate level,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “I have seen players come to a program and have a certain attachment to a number and ask a player that’s already there if it’s possible to change numbers. Sometimes they give up their number and sometimes they don’t.”

For Rayson, this is his third number in three years at CMU. “Five, I wore for one of my childhood friends that had passed away in a car crash,” Rayson said. “He wore number five.”

While the No. 2 and No. 5 hold meaning for the Dallas native, Rayson’s No. 0 from his freshman season had less significance.

“Zero was just the only number that was really there,” Rayson said.

CMU’s top club hockey squad attempts to rebuild after members jump to Division III team Austin Denean Staff Reporter @atd023 | sports@cm-life.com

Coming into the season, fortune seemed to be in favor of the Central Michigan Division II club hockey team.

After finishing the 201415 season ranked 10th in the nation, the team was poised to make a run at a national championship. Most players from last season’s team were set to return, but an unexpected decision splintered the group.

Before classes resumed for

the fall 2016 semester, seven players informed DII Head Coach Brian Knopp they decided to join the Division III club hockey team. Weeks before their season was set to begin, Knopp was forced to scrape together enough players to field a competitive team.

Unfortunately for Knopp and the remaining 10 full-time members of the DII team, they were unable to find enough players for competition. Most teams in the American Collegiate Hockey Association have 20 to 30 players on their roster.

Although the DII team still exists, it is not a registered club sport through CMU. In theACHA, each division represents a different quality of competition — DII is considered a higher level of competition than DIII, similar to the NCAA Divisions.

After a few players made the decision to switch, the situation snowballed, said senior DIII goalie Alex Estes.

guys to fill out a team, they saw the opportunity to succeed playing for the DIII team and joined us,” Estes said.

Some players saw a chance to see more playing time, which was enough to draw them away from the DII team.

After being put in a difficult situation, Knopp decided to enroll what was left of the team in a men’s league at the Isabella County Events Arena.

CMU’s team merged with the Mid Michigan Community College team in order to fill out the remaining roster spots.

The group is hoping to use this season as a rebuilding year to rejoin ACHA Division II competition.

Coming out of his team’s weekly practice, Knopp was enthusiastic about the rebuilding effort and the new players he recruited. He said he believes in the process his team is working through despite the challenges they face.

“We have plenty of talent to compete with just about anyone,” Knopp said. “Once the freshmen go through their learning curve of the level of competition, we’ll make some noise.”

Knopp said problems with the DII team began years ago with a five-year suspension

handed down by CMU’s Office of Student Conduct after a hazing incident in September 2012.

CMU suspended the team following an incident where seniors on the team forced the freshmen to wear women’s underwear and posted pictures online. Initially, all members of the team were banned from competing for the DII team.

After the first year of the suspension, CMU eased off the sanctions, only banning the team from competing in the ACHA DII national tournament for three seasons.

The 2015-16 season would have been the first time since the suspension the team could have competed in the national

tournament.

“The freshmen took it on the chin with that punishment and I think it really left a bad taste in their mouth about the team as a whole,” Knopp said.

The implications of the 2012 hazing incident go beyond the official sanctions, as the team still attempts to recover and become reestablished as the maroon and gold’s top hockey squad.

Knopp said the problems with the team went beyond the stigma of sanctions.

“The group of guys on the team were very talented, but they never really gelled together and embraced the team atmosphere,” Knopp said.

The team has had four different head coaches in five seasons and had a couple years ran entirely by its members.

Without any real structure and leadership, it caused a rift among players.

After a troubling start,

Knopp and Assistant Coach Todd Knaus are attempting to rebuild the program to get back into DII competition for the 2016-2017 season. Both coaches are volunteers since the team is not a registered club team.

Knopp has coached at the I.C.E. Arena for years. He said he got involved with CMU hockey last season through mutual connections at the rink.

“We have a group of guys together now that just love to play hockey and those are the kind of people you want to build a program around,” Knaus said.

Eleven of the players on the roster are freshmen, including treasurer Danny Smith. The coaches rely on leadership to come from the youngest members of the team and Knopp said he likes what he has seen so far.

“For these guys, it’s all about getting a chance to play and win together, and everyone on

the team is on the same page with that. We couldn’t ask for a better group of guys to lead our team moving forward,” Knopp said.

Coaches plan on recruiting heavily throughout this year into the offseason. Since most of the team’s current members are from the metro-Detroit area, they are planning to have an open skate once a month over the summer to keep everyone involved year-round.

“We’re trying to do everything we can to get the word out that we are still going strong and plan on coming back to competition next season,” Knaus said.

Their plan is beginning to work, as Knopp and Knaus said more players have shown up to weekly practices as the semester progresses. Other teams have already contacted Knopp to schedule games for this season and next.
